“So what the Chairman is saying is… we will sign an exclusive contract to import items with the African Integrated Branch and supply them to the domestic subjugation market.”
“That’s right. As you know, there are currently over 100 operational teams created for civilian subjugation projects. “This is how much it has been in just one week, so it will only increase in the future.”
I had a rough idea of what he was going to say.
Although civilian operation teams are mushrooming, the supply of weapons, equipment, and items is insufficient compared to the demand.
In such a situation, if Hanbyeol Group monopolizes the supply of domestic items, it could make enormous profits.
“So what exactly are you contracting for?”
“Have you heard of ‘fractal’?”
Of course I heard it.
It is an essential item when making weapons of rank A or higher, but because its reserves are very limited, it is traded at a very high price.
“I heard that the area near the Democratic Republic of Congo is the largest source of fractals. “Our goal is an exclusive import contract for that fractal.”
Easier said than done.
Is that the mindset of the head of a large corporation?
“But… isn’t Hanbyeol General Manager already doing similar work? “Why did you have to tell me this…”
“Of course, Sergeant Hanbyeol specializes in this kind of work, but this will be a bit difficult for them alone. “The African Unity branch is in a very bad situation.”
For a moment, the situation in Africa came to mind.
Soon the story came out of Chairman Ha Deok-soo’s mouth.
“We are already very confused by the repeated civil war, there are not enough people to fight, and government intervention is severe… Above all, there are rumors that item smuggling is rampant, especially in conflict areas.”
He continued.
“The problem is that in order for us to deliver items stably, the integrated branch must be able to mine items consistently. In order to do that, of course, there must be a situation in which a stable subjugation can be supported.”
“But in their current situation, a stable subjugation would be impossible.”
“That’s right. So, I think we need to stabilize the branch situation first. And that…”
“That’s what we specialize in.”
If so, the story is fast.
“So what do we get?”
“10% of domestic item supply sales.”
The conditions are more unconventional than I thought.
“What are you going to do or not?”
“Hmm.”
I took a quick look at Director Lee Ah-young.
She shrugs.
It seemed to mean that you should figure it out yourself.
Of course, Chairman Ha Deok-soo’s proposal is definitely appealing. It fit perfectly with the cause I wanted in the first place.
Signing a contract to import items with the African Integrated Branch and delivering them domestically.
For this to happen, the branch’s subjugation system needed to operate stably.
‘The problem is whether we can stabilize it and further take it over to the Korean Association…’ It
is much more natural for a large company to propose an acquisition in the name of business than to proceed with the acquisition alone.
Above all, it is not that strange for a large corporation to take the hand extended in a situation where the headquarters has withdrawn its hand.
If the contract was made directly by the company, the international association would have nothing to say.
After thinking about it, I nodded.
“great. “I will accept that offer.”
“Let’s make a schedule as quickly as possible. We’ll bring one person from our side, so please bring one from your side as well. We will cover all costs.
“All right. “I’ll contact you when it’s ready.”
“Okay, if you need anything, let me know anytime.”
After saying those words, Chairman Ha Deok-soo coolly left the office.
***
A bar in Gangnam.
Ha Seong-tae, who had been drinking since lunch, was already extremely drunk.
‘Damn you bastards…’
I muttered, crushing the tequila bottle.
Even though the situation was like this, I was planning to pay the price to Rep. Jeong Hoon.
There was no problem with paying the promised compensation if you sold all the stocks you owned.
No, actually, I was planning on giving more than I promised.
In order to somehow climb back up, I needed to keep holding his hand.
But….
[Future Democratic Party Rep. Jeong Hoon summoned by prosecutors on charges of bribery worth billions of won]
[What is the collusion with companies and the whereabouts of the source of the bribe? [Prosecution begins full-scale investigation]
Prosecutors suddenly appear?
‘Why on earth are they talking to me…’
They say if you have a long tail, you’ll catch it someday, but this was too strange, even if the timing was strange.
It was as if someone had decided to file a complaint.
However, the only people who know the relationship between him and Rep. Jeong Hoon are his father, who is lying in the hospital, and Chief Oh Jae-yeop.
Of course, there was no way my father, who was unconscious, would have leaked the information, and there was no reason for Director Oh to come and stab me in the back now.
We are both like duck eggs in the Nakdong River, so even if we report, there is no benefit.
Anyway, since Rep. Jeong Hoon was caught, it was only a matter of time before his turn came.
My grandfather had already let go of him, and there was no way his brothers, who were anxious to eat him, would help him.
In the end, there is nothing left.
‘Fuck…!’
Ha Seong-tae couldn’t believe that he became penniless overnight.
All that was left to do was guzzle down alcohol and try to deny reality.
Knock knock-.
Then someone tapped his shoulder.
When I turned around, there was a middle-aged white woman standing there.
“Ha Seong-tae?”
“…who?”
“My name is Emma Kelin, and I run a small business in France.”
The woman held out a business card.
Only the company name and the name just introduced were written on a pure white background.
“PB Corporation…? “This is my first time hearing about this place.”
“It’s worth it. “Just think of us as a small staffing agency.”
“What business do you have for me in a place like that?”
“Well, straight to the point.”
A woman sat down next to Ha Seong-tae and continued speaking.
“Are you interested in working with us?”
A woman’s eyes sparkle for a moment.
Ha Seong-tae swallowed his saliva without even realizing it, which was too creepy to be considered a businessman.
“…What is happening?”
“Well, to put it simply… it is about winning contracts to supply items mainly to Central Africa.”
“what?”
Ha Seong-tae’s eyebrows waved at the content that was difficult to understand.
Soon the woman began giving a brief explanation of her business plan.
“So what you’re saying right now is…”
Ha Seong-tae, who heard the general story, placed his chin on his forehead.
“Are you trying to deliver domestically produced items to conflict zones in Central Africa?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry if I misunderstand, but it sounds like you’re talking about running a smuggling business.”
“You heard correctly.”
What is this crazy person?
“Of course, items from the African region are much more valuable… but that’s because we can’t properly subdue them right now. “If it’s a Korean item, there will be enough demand for it.”
“Wait a minute. I think you’re looking at the wrong person, but even if I look like this, in Korea…”
“What do you mean, in Korea?”
The woman interrupted Ha Seong-tae and smiled.
“He was the head of sales at Hanbyeol General Trading Company, the grandson of the owner of Hanbyeol Group, but wasn’t he pushed out by a former janitor while trying to promote a private sector subjugation project?”
“…?!”
“Furthermore, my grandfather was cut off and a politician who was a friend was arrested. Now, I am penniless, having lost my position, fame, and money. Despite this, do you still think you can do anything in Korea?”
“Are you saying we want to fight now…!”
“No way. Now I’m giving you a chance to make a comeback. “If I just stay still, I’ll get arrested for bribery, so wouldn’t it be better to try something?”
“….”
The woman was still smiling.
It was truly unpleasant honesty, but Ha Seong-tae became calm rather than angry.
Soon he opened his mouth in a weak voice.
“Yeah… you’re right. “Now I am broke and have nothing and will soon be behind bars.”
“If you join hands with me, I could have the charges against you released now.”
“what…?”
“Well, let’s talk about it later. Instead, there are conditions.”
Soon the woman got to the point.
“The reason I’m suggesting this to you, who has nothing, is because you have a great boss.”
“What are you talking about? I worked at Hanbyul Trading Company. And my father is still there…”
Ha Seong-tae was shocked before he finished speaking.
I looked at the woman with astonishment in my eyes.
“If your father dies without a special will, wouldn’t you, as the eldest son, be able to claim management rights?”
“You can’t believe it…!”
“We will take care of it. All you have to do is bring Sergeant Hanbyeol.”
A creepy, grave voice.
Ha Seong-tae felt his legs shaking without realizing it.

“Wesley. it’s me.”
CEO Emma, who left the bar first after completing the recruitment, picked up her cell phone.
The person who answered the phone was her old friend and business partner. At the same time, it was Wesley, the current Secretary General of the International Hunter Association.
“How did it go?”
“I asked as a decent guy.”
“That’s good.”
“But I still don’t understand. The African branch. “Why did you spend money to integrate it and then walk away?”
“Because I don’t have any money.”
“Hmm?”
What does this mean again?
Isn’t the amount of fractals buried there alone enormous? It didn’t seem like it would make money.
No, if it was a place like that in the first place, I wouldn’t have touched it in the first place.
“Well, to be precise, it’s because there’s more money elsewhere? “The more the conflict gets worse, the more profitable it is for us.”
“Well, I guess you’re not really doing this just for the money.”
“Haha, you’re quick-witted,”
Secretary General Wesley continued.
“There was a conspiracy theory like that a long time ago. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it. A powerful country carried out a fake terrorist attack against its own citizens in order to legally invade another country that was a thorn in their eyes….” “….
”
For a moment, I wondered what was going on.
“under! ha ha ha!”
Soon she burst into laughter.
Yeah, was it because of this?
So, did you personally ask for it?
“You need a cause, right? A justification that forces us to manage subjugation rights and hunters around the world.”
“That’s right.”
“Okay, I like it. “If it’s something like this, what’s the point of leaving it to our kids?”
Representative Emma nodded.
“By the way, have you met Kim?”
“No. “I didn’t have time.”
“Still, I went all the way to Korea. Why don’t I at least see your face? “He is the culprit behind the disbandment of the Korean part of the balance team.”
“Well, just watch the situation.”
Representative Emma answered hesitantly.
“And… even if I don’t want to see you, I will see you again someday.”
Soon a smile spread across my lips.

“Then, this concludes the regular meeting.”
Karma Corporation monthly meeting.
When the meeting where the cleaning and operational teams all gathered was over, everyone left the conference room as if they had been waiting.
However, Kim Min-ju, Han Yu-bin, and Lee A-young kept their positions.
Kim Min-ju spoke first.
“Teacher, I heard you are going to the African Unified Branch this time?”
“yes. “Perhaps the situation was difficult, and a proposal for subjugation support came first from there.”
Lee Ah-young nodded.
Then Han Yubin asked in a curious voice.
“But isn’t that a branch of the International Association? “We don’t get along very well, so why bother going there?”
“Well, that’s true. “I think the CEO was originally going to refuse due to various issues… Hanbyul Group reached out.”
“Hanbyeol Group?”
“The subjugation support and what they wanted overlapped with their interests… Maybe they thought there was nothing to lose, but that’s how it ended up.”
Hmm, Han Yubin crossed her arms and nodded.
“Wherever the unified branch is… it’s the Democratic Republic of the Congo, right?”
“yes.”
“It must be quite dangerous because it is a conflict zone…”
Kim Min-ju continued quietly, looking closely.
“I wonder who you will take.”
At those words, a strange tension instantly filled the conference room.
Director Lee A-young reacted with a moment of shock, and Han Yu-bin secretly looked at Kim Min-ju and Lee A-young.
Of course, they weren’t really competing.
He probably just wants to make sure that he is recognized by Kim Jun-woo.
The fact that Kim Jun-woo takes him to a confusing place means that he trusts his abilities that much.
But then Lee Ah-young shrugged her shoulders and said.
“Well, nothing has been decided yet. For your information, I don’t think I can go because of work. “I think it’s probably one of the two.”
“….”
“….”
Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin glance at each other for a moment.
“Oh, everyone was gathered together at that moment.”
Just then, Kim Jun-woo came in.
All eyes focused on one another.
Kim Jun-woo looked puzzled, wondering what the situation was.
But even for a moment.
“Han Yu-bin, do you have time starting next week?”
“….”
She looked around and tried to hide her smile.
Of course, I couldn’t show it, so I answered in my usual tone.
“It seems like it will work, but… why?”
“Then, please go out to subdue Team Leader Kim Min-ju. I’m planning to stay away for a few days with him.”
“…!”
pup.
