Yagame Skills Become a Reality 491

Chapter 491 – Exploration Battle

“Female protagonists have appeared.”

“Are you here?”

“…”

As we entered the restaurant, our family was greeted by Ross, Rachel, and Chrome, who had been seated first.

Chairman Ron, who had offered to lead the way to the restaurant, had some business to attend to, so he took Swan upstairs with him, and they started talking to each other.

“Where did Chris go?”

Park Ha-eun, who thought everyone was there and was about to say hello, saw that Chris was not there and asked Ross, who worked with her, about it.

Then Ross rubbed his black hair and said with a smile.

“Kkkk… That guy said he couldn’t come because he was embarrassed that he was unconscious until the terrorist attack was over.”

“If I had just come, I wouldn’t have paid much attention.”

“You know that you have a lot of pride because you are young. Also, I wanted to show the young lady that I looked cool, but I guess my pride was pretty hurt because I fainted.”

“Well, it’s none of our business.”

“That’s not true, I’ll take care of it.”

They laughed and talked, perhaps because they had survived the terrorist attack together without any major injuries.

“But did you find Oliver?”

Park Ha-eun, who naturally sat down with Lee Jong-wook, looked at Chrome and asked if he had found Oliver.

After the terrorist attack, he informed Chrome that Oliver may have betrayed him.

Since I told Crom, who was the most upset about betrayal among the mercenaries, the results would have come quickly.

Park Ha-eun and Lee Jong-wook did not know much about Chrome because they left everything to him.

“I haven’t found it yet.”

“So are you sure he betrayed me?”

Even if I couldn’t find Oliver, the most important thing was to know whether he had betrayed me or not. When I asked him, Chrome’s face turned red, and he said,

“It’s true that you betrayed me. I was suspicious, so I opened his account records and found that he had received a large amount of money from an unknown person.”

“That alone can’t be called betrayal, right?”

Even if someone whose name you didn’t know put a large amount of money into the account, you could only suspect it and there was no exact evidence.

In a mercenary society, betrayal is more taboo than anything else, so the level of punishment is also considerable. It’s natural because it could cost someone’s life.

Therefore, they had to obtain solid evidence to determine more accurately.

“That was when I had just taken over as Swan’s guard, so I can say it’s almost certain.”

“I guess I should catch Oliver and hear his story.”

“That’s right, because then we can think about how to punish them.”

Even if they are mercenaries who work in sunny areas and don’t do anything bad, most of them kill people.

So, most of them have quite rough personalities, so they have their own separate laws within the framework of the basic laws set by humans.

Colleagues do not betray. No matter what happens, you must trust your colleagues. Once a request is given, I complete it unless it is urgent.

There were quite a few things that were passed down as unwritten rules, etc., Although they were not set in stone.

This is a society of mercenaries where, in some cases, even summary punishment is possible if this is violated.

They do not kill outright because they are within the boundaries of the laws set by humans, but they do kill somehow.

And Chrome was almost certain that Oliver had betrayed him.

‘Otherwise, there is no way that a person who only reveals the money would receive a request for only a small amount of money.’

Oliver’s combat skills are so outstanding that he is on the front line among mercenaries who operate machines.

A mercenary who can protect his own body and provide support at any time when his colleagues are in danger.

As is the case with most jobs, if you have special skills, the price will rise even more.

For that reason, Oliver participated in the request, receiving much more money than the same A-level mercenary.

However, this time, the amount he received while escorting Swan was the same amount as other A-class members.

At first, he thought he was doing it to create a connection with Chairman Ron, but upon investigation, he betrayed him to get more money.

‘I will kill you unconditionally.’

In the past, when he was working as a mercenary, Crom lost many of his colleagues due to the betrayal of someone he trusted, and he vowed to find and kill him.

“Well, as long as there’s no risk to us, I’ll leave it entirely to you.”

“Please leave it to me, I will risk everything I have to find it and get my due.”

Park Ha-eun didn’t really care if Oliver betrayed her because it was already over.

Of course, his son was in danger or his life was threatened, but he didn’t bother to step forward because Chrome, who was sensitive to betrayal, would take care of it.

Since he is a talented guy, it may take quite some time to find him, so I had to spend time with his family, but it was a waste of time to invest in such a guy.

‘Chrome will take care of it.’

Seeing that her husband was quietly listening to the story as if he was thinking the same thing, he didn’t seem to need to worry.

“But I can’t believe it. This guy who never betrayed money even though he revealed it, suddenly betrayed himself.”

As the story about Oliver came to an end, Ross said something like he still couldn’t believe it.

To be honest, although Oliver always revealed the money, most of the requests he was given were completed perfectly.

It was questionable whether he would have given up his entire career and betrayed himself.

“The amount of money received each time for selling information is 1 billion.”

“What?!”

And when Chrome, who had been quietly listening to Ross, told him the level of money he had investigated, his eyes widened in great surprise.

Usually, when a class A mercenary takes on an escort job, he or she receives around 500 million won at most.

If you are a technical worker like Oliver, you get paid a little more, usually around 700 million won.

It was not surprising to hear that he received 1 billion won every time he sold internal information.

In addition, Oliver did not receive as many requests as other A-class mercenaries because the amount was very expensive.

For someone who has been thinking about retirement for a long time, 1 billion each time he sold information would have been quite a lot of money.

It seemed like I betrayed myself with the intention of eating as much as I could before I went out of fear that someone might be crazy about money.

“I confirmed a total of 3 deposits, so I think the information was probably sold 3 times.”

“Then 3 billion?”

“No, in the end, I received 2 billion because it was quite important information.”

“Huh… I guess they sold the information with the right intentions.”

“So, those two combinations must have been dangerous enough to almost kill me.”

If he made 4 billion just by selling information three times, it was a huge amount of money for him who was thinking about retirement.

To receive that amount of money while working, you would have to be dispatched to a dangerous area on a battlefield and suffer for at least two years.

If the enemy’s plan had succeeded, all the remaining people would have died, and only he would have survived, making it a perfect crime.

Even though his fighting skills are excellent, he is still a mercenary who supports his colleagues from the rear.

Everyone would understand if he said that he was lucky enough to get away with a chance at the rear.

“So, he will definitely find it.”

If we were not careful, it could have dealt a huge blow to the Immortal PMC. No, even if that wasn’t the case, betraying a colleague was no different from touching Chrome’s trauma.

Chrom, who would never forgive betrayal, was determined to catch him and make him pay the price.

“I’m sorry. Something urgent suddenly came up, and I waited for a long time?”

“I didn’t wait that long.”

After finishing work, Chairman Ron came down to the restaurant and handed out an apple, and Chrome, the highest ranking member among them, accepted the apple.

“Then you must have been hungry waiting, so let’s start eating quickly.”

Normally, he would have to sit down and talk about various things, but he was caught up in work for too long, so he immediately told his employer to bring him a meal.

After a while, a huge variety of meals began to be served, worthy of being considered a wealthy house.

Starting with lobster, a variety of foods from land, sea, and air, including turkey, beef, etc., Came to the table.

“Okay then let’s eat.”

Chairman Ron, who didn’t even blink when he saw the food, which seemed to cost well over a few hundred dollars just for the ingredients, said let’s start eating and started eating first.

The other people looked at the food blankly for a moment, but soon came to their senses and ate the food.

‘I guess it’s because they are from a rich family.’

He was the chairman of a global military company that only feeds eight people and burns hundreds of dollars on ingredients per meal.

“Whoa… I’m full.”

“I can’t eat anymore.”

The meal ended sooner than expected. The amount was enormous, and since the people who had gathered in the first place were mercenaries, it was bound to end quickly.

They were accustomed to having to eat quickly and rest again when a battle started.

‘It was delicious.’

Next to me, having filled my stomach to a certain extent, I put down the dishes and looked at the food that was still left.

It was my first time eating turkey, and I don’t know if it was because the chefs were talented or because the ingredients were expensive, but I liked it the most because it was more juicy than chicken.

Afterward, we had a brief conversation with each other, and once the food was put away, we started spending time separately.

Now that we’ve finished eating, it’s time for everyone to talk freely.

This was a time to have private conversations with people we liked and build friendships.

“Son, can you stay here for a moment?”

“Me alone?”

“Mom and Dad need to talk to old Ron. I’m sorry, but please leave me alone for a moment.”

“Okay.”

I thought there was probably something to talk about this escort matter, so I said I would wait here.

‘What should I do now?’

So all the mercenaries started to gather to talk to Chairman Ron, and I was left alone wondering what to do with my time.

It’s okay to go into a corner and quietly look at your phone to kill time, and it’s okay to contact your girlfriends.

I was a little worried about Cynthia being alone, but she quickly decided not to worry.

I need to give her time to be alone for a while and give her time to think.

Even if I knew the situation, there was no reason to help or comfort her, and it was better not to meet her because I was the one who triggered the trauma.

‘If it doesn’t work out, she’s just a dead bitch.’

Although he regrets not being able to take revenge, he does not do anything stupid like leave behind someone who was his enemy.

I don’t feel guilty at all because it was 100% my fault in the first place.

I was thinking about Cynthia alone, but quickly gave up my thoughts and was about to contact Se-yeon Lee.

“Do you mind if I talk to you for a moment?”

Swann, who had been watching from a distance and was slowly approaching, spoke to me.

‘Why did you come here?’

I knew she had been staring at me since she was eating.

However, the gaze was not one of liking, but rather a gaze full of curiosity, so I was just pretending not to notice.

She deliberately did not want to talk to her after she escaped from her escort, which exposed my parents even more to the threat.

Plus, I had one contact while saving Swan.

Although it is unlikely that we will be caught by covering everything completely, we wanted to definitely reduce the possibility.

‘If we talk a little bit, mom and dad will come.’

I didn’t really want to talk, but I thought there was no reason to refuse, and it was a good way to pass the time, so I nodded.

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“Thank you for your time.”

I bowed my head slightly and told her that she was grateful to me, and I remained silent, hoping that she would bring up the topic first.

It was natural for the person who requested the conversation to bring up the topic first.

“Do you drink alcohol?”

“I don’t enjoy drinking it, but in a situation like this, it’s okay to have a drink.”

Actually, I don’t really like alcohol. Thanks to the [Half-body body], No matter how much I drink, my health doesn’t worsen, but it doesn’t taste very good.

When I go out for drinks with my college friends, I just go there because I like the atmosphere, not to drink.

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

When I didn’t refuse the drink, Swann smiled and went to the back table and poured me a drink into a wine glass and handed it to me.

“Thank you for coming today.”

“No. Rather, I am grateful for the invitation.”

At first, we only have formal conversations. I didn’t want to follow these annoying rules of etiquette, but I followed them because it was better than staying still.

“What is Lane doing in Korea?”

“Like Swan, I am also attending university.”

As we began to have a casual conversation, Swan and I started calling each other by our first names.

“Is your department a security department?”

“No? “It’s just an ordinary business administration department.”

“You looked so good, so I thought it was definitely that way.”

“Well… Some people often misunderstand.”

And as we started to become more and more comfortable talking to each other, Swann bombarded me with a barrage of questions.

How do you have such a good body? How much exercise do you usually do? Are there any exercises you learned from martial arts?

Most of the stories were related to my body, and I felt uncomfortable listening to her questions.

‘Was he always like this?’

When I checked the information using [Eyes of Lust], He was not this kind of person at all.

As for her taste, she just wanted a man who would stamp her authority. It did not appear anywhere that her preference was for someone with a good body.

Of course, that alone wouldn’t make me think that her questions were strange, but as she continued to talk, I had reasonable doubts because she tried to touch her body more and more.

‘Don’t you know this?’

The only time I showed my body to Swan was when I saved him.

It was natural since she was wearing clothes that clearly revealed her body.

That’s why I decided that when she saw my body, she was doubting whether I was the one who saved her at that time.

‘It’s not that good if it happens like this…’

I didn’t know that anyone would suspect me based on my keen eye for just looking at my body, so I was wondering whether I should get out or not.
