The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 296

Episode 296

Suddenly, the last moments of my past life came to mind.

The moment you obtain the three mythical items that appeared for the first time in Connect.

He was forcibly dragged out of the capsule and lost his life in vain to the men in suits.

And now things have changed.

The man who led the men in suits and finished off Bae Do-hyeon was lying at Raoul’s feet.

“You’re Kim Chang-sik, right?”

“Yes, but what on earth is this?”

Kim Chang-sik, a man in a suit who was rolling around on the floor, shouted with an expression of frustration.

Well, it was worth it since he was suddenly dragged in front of Raoul and beaten.

It was the power of the capsule that allowed Raoul to face the person of Earth, Kim Chang-sik, directly.

‘Popular public capsule’ newly developed by Connect Co., Ltd.

Unlike existing capsules that could only be used by one person, it was a groundbreaking new capsule that anyone could easily connect to.

But of course, there were severe functional limitations.

Basically, the synchronization rate itself was less than 20%, so it was less than half of the existing entry-level capsule.

This means that the player’s reaction speed and experience rate will inevitably decrease.

Moreover, there were no additional features – nutrition, sleep function, development of a dedicated Internet access platform, etc.

It was a connection-only device created solely so that more people could access and experience Connect.

The problem is that Kim Chang-sik, a man in a suit, was forcibly brought into Connect through this capsule that has not yet been released.

‘If it becomes known to the world, there’s a good chance it could cause problems. It may be misused. ‘But who cares?’

From the beginning, this work was being carried out with the active cooperation of Alex Song, Chairman of Connect.

At the same time as the global rescue operation began, there was another secret operation: the arrest of key suspects.

The mid-level executives and people in charge of each kidnapping force that had already been confirmed were arrested separately.

It included the head of the organization that directly carried out the kidnapping and key researchers at the research institute.

They were arrested by First Security without anyone knowing and taken to an island in the Pacific Ocean where Connect Co., Ltd.’s headquarters is located.

And right now.

In this way, it was forcibly connected to Connect and delivered to Raoul’s eyes.

puck!

Raoul once again unleashed his anger and threw a soccer kick at Kim Chang-sik.

“Wow! Cough.”

There was no way the Master’s kick was ordinary.

Kim Chang-sik lost consciousness, coughing up blood because his ribs and internal organs had burst.

But no one stopped Raoul and no one took care of Kim Chang-sik.

But then.

Clutter.

Kim Chang-sik’s chest and stomach, which had been hollowed out, heaved and returned to their original state on their own.

This is Mira, the free city.

A place blessed by God.

It was a miraculous place where even injured people recovered quickly and even those who died were resurrected.

However, it was a place that could be a curse for some people.

“Wake up.”

At Raoul’s words, Philip thrust a small dagger into the man’s thigh.

“Sigh! “Huh huh huh.”

When Kim Chang-sik came to his senses, his expression was extremely pale.

His pupils dilated as he noticed the blood and pieces of intestines that appeared to be his own.

“Why on earth are you doing this to me? “If there’s a reason… kek!”

But he didn’t even have the right to do that.

Raoul pestered him until he lost his temper.

‘There’s no way you’ll remember what you did in your past life anyway. But what you have done cannot be forgiven to this extent!’

Even in this life, Kim Chang-sik’s behavior did not change.

As a member of a gangster organization, he harassed countless people, and after becoming someone’s limb, he did not hesitate to take people’s lives.

I had no idea how many victims there would have been before being caught by Raoul like this.

But if there is a beginning, there is also an end.

Raoul, who had been taking out his anger on the guy for a while, soon stopped.

Even if I only vented my anger on minions, the sense of futility only deepened.

“Kane. “I’ll leave it to you.”

“Yes Master. “We will hire the best experts to help you recall even memories you don’t have.”

Since I entrusted it to Kane, who is considered the best in this field, anyone would have no choice but to confess what they know.

‘If necessary, use mental magic!’

It didn’t matter whether he was broken or not anyway.

Reynaldo Hart, the mayor of the Free City of Mira, has already agreed to cooperate with Raul, so no one will be able to stop them.

In a location that had already been prepared, dozens of people involved were receiving a lot of help from experts, so it was only a matter of time before the results came out.

Those who were caught unawares were looking for a lawyer and asking “Do you know who I am?”, but that only applies on Earth.

Human rights? law? procedure?

‘This is Connect. ‘Do not think that Earth’s law and order will prevail.’

At least here, Raoul was the law.

And he had no intention of treating criminals like human beings.

After experiencing the hell of royalties and revealing everything they know and don’t know, they will be trapped in a place where no one knows and will face a lonely end.

Raoul looked coldly at Kim Chang-sik, who was dragged away covered in blood, and then turned away.

His steps seemed to have become a little lighter as he walked out.

* * *

Quang! Craddangtang!

“What the hell is going on!”

The furniture in the office was in shambles.

Because it didn’t just happen for a day or two, the secretaries gathered in the president’s office just quietly lowered their heads.

“Can’t everyone just do this? “It’s not just one or two days, it’s been like this for how many days already!”

On the front page of the newspaper that the chairman threw out, his face was printed in full color.

And the title article is just that.

-Daesung Corporation is on the list of suspects. A summons investigation into Chairman Han Sang-yong is imminent!

The suspicion articles that have been going on for several days have irritated the chairman.

“Chairman, please ease your anger. Isn’t this all just speculation anyway? If there really is evidence and suspicion, the prosecution has already… Wow!”

“Hey you bitch! The reason the prosecutors are so lazy is because of the money I wasted! For that matter, this newspaper! “Why can’t they make the media companies shut up, you incompetent idiots!”

One month since the Connect kidnapping incident was announced.

The media continued to report on the incident.

Things being dealt with in the research lab.

A story about those who were kidnapped.

Behind the unlicensed private laboratory.

Loopholes in the government security system, etc.

There was an abundance of news stories full of material that could stimulate people.

The problem was the progress of the investigation.

Numerous videos obtained during the rescue operation.

Those involved were arrested at the scene.

Victims rescued.

Even the evidence from the lab.

Crime facts and physical evidence abounded.

However, the investigation into who the important mastermind was actually made little progress.

Firstly, the research institute itself was not even licensed.

Second, the owners of the place where the research institute was located were not real people.

It was unclear how the land was purchased or how the sales permit was obtained.

Lastly, because so many different groups are intertwined, information has become confused.

Since the subject of the investigation was different in each country and the subjects of the investigation were global companies and belonging to various countries, it took a year just to discuss the procedures and determine the order of the investigation.

Of course, it was the ‘invisible hands’ that actually played the most decisive role in delaying the investigation.

The investigation could not be properly conducted on the front line because huge global corporations and big money, of which even the government had no choice but to keep an eye on, were secretly interfering with the investigation.

-Global kidnapping situation. But in reality, it’s just the media’s exaggeration?

-The story behind it was fabricated. They just created a conspiracy theory by combining similar incidents.

In addition, various water-riding articles began to raise their heads, and attempts were made to distract from the essence.

But the public was not fooled this time.

“You’re going to end this by subtly cutting off the tail like this? “No way!”

“Who do you think is a fool? The research group that has been kidnapping test subjects from all over the world is just a private laboratory? Are you kidding me?”

“Isn’t it actually the actions of governments in each country? “Isn’t it strange to see the investigation being delayed like this?”

As the spark was about to fly to the government, governments around the world, who had hoped it would be too late, once again accelerated the investigation.

And at that time, decisive information and witnesses appeared.

“Okay, I’ll turn myself in! “I’ll tell you everything I know, so please protect me!”

“I didn’t think my conscience could bear to remain silent like this. “I will testify and pay for everyone’s crimes.”

As if by appointment, the decisive witnesses surrendered at the same time.

The action leader who led the kidnapping.

An entrepreneur who supplied supplies to the research institute.

The actual owner of the ship used for transportation, etc.

Key witnesses who disappeared after the incident have been revealed one after another.

And above all, certain documents delivered to the investigative teams in each country were decisive.

“what’s this? ***What are the island’s actual owners and financial flow details? “Is this true?”

“**Investigation data on the research institute’s funding sources. The researchers’ actual employers?”

“There are also details of slush funds paid to the kidnapping organization and a list of officials!”

As countless materials that could not be found fell from the sky, the investigative headquarters began to come to life.

Naturally, it was data collected by Ravel by filtering and hacking data on the Internet, and analyzed and organized by the brains of First Company and First Guild.

And those who surrendered earlier were taken to Connect and repented among those who experienced the ‘Room of Truth’.

In reality, those who were guilty and knew crucial clues were scared and surrendered.

Even at this very moment, some of the people they mentioned were being invited to Connect, and when the investigation was over, some of them would return to Earth and surrender themselves, and the series of processes was being repeated.

Eventually, many names began to appear in the media.

China’s Tsinghua Group.

UD Soft of the United States.

German automobile group Messika.

Granat Pharmaceuticals of Russia.

And even Korea’s Daesung Corporation.

These five global conglomerates and their affiliates and subcontractors are beginning to be suspected as the main culprits of this incident.

But their stance was firm.

“It’s just a ridiculous slander. “I really don’t know anything.”

“I don’t understand why they say our company is involved. “We plan to respond to false articles with thorough defamation.”

“I swear to heaven, I have never seen or heard of such a research institute. funds? Do we know how much money our company executes each year and take that into consideration?”

No one acknowledged the suspicion, and there was no way they would.

But that didn’t make the situation any better.

“Did you know that the borrowed-name account the Chairman created 15 years ago was used in this incident?”

“What do you think about the fact that the president of a company that regularly supplied supplies to the research institute is a classmate of the chairman’s 6th cousin brother?”

Clues that seemed insignificant were gradually coming together and converging to one point.

Of course, in reality, there was no evidence at all to conclude that they were the definite culprits.

However, the new facts that are revealed every day when we wake up have made it possible to guess who the real culprit of this situation is.

“It’s just a coincidence. I will risk my all and take legal action until the end against this outrageous media offensive. However, I would like to apologize on behalf of the presidents of some affiliates who were found guilty! Through thorough verification to prevent something like this from happening in the future….”

Daesung Corporation Chairman Han Chang-yong continued to the end with an expression that said he knew nothing, causing the viewers’ blood pressure to soar.

And the result.

Kwazijic!

“I will not use anything produced by Daesung Group from now on. And at this time every day, we will hold an execution ceremony for Daesung Group’s items!”

Many ranked players who host personal broadcasts began boycotting products produced by Daesung Group, and the impact gradually grew.

Not only those who play Connect but also the general public began a boycott of the five major companies involved in this incident.

In addition, the government put pressure on the company and its affiliates through large-scale search and seizure and tax investigations.

Advertisements for related companies were even removed from broadcasting.

It was natural for the stock price to plummet, and the theory of responsibility for management arose.

And finally.

“Our management fully understands the seriousness of this situation and will voluntarily resign as an expression of apology and reflection to our customers.”

In just six months, the management of five huge global companies were all replaced.

Of course, they still could not hold the chairman and his family legally accountable, but that alone was clearly a big blow to them.

‘Don’t think this is the end. It hasn’t even really started yet.’

Raoul’s eyes were still cold and sunken as he looked at the screen showing the presidents with their heads bowed.
