“What should we do now….”
“….”
Director Lee Ah-young asked, but I saved the answer.
No, there was no answer.
The reason the pressure from the International Association has not been very threatening so far is because they have tried to do things as secretly as possible.
Intimidating raids or battles.
So far, I’ve tried to deal with distracting factors easily and quietly, and if it were someone else, those methods might have worked… but not for me.
If they threaten you, just ignore them, and if they attack you, just wipe them out.
Since the incident could not be revealed publicly, the methods they could use were limited.
Yes, that was the case until now.
but.
‘If it comes out like this, there is no answer….’
Now, they have admitted it too.
They must have realized that they could no longer handle it secretly and changed course.
No matter what the situation has been so far or what anyone says, the International Association is an organization that can exert tremendous influence around the world.
It is at a level that cannot even be compared to the influence we have.
Such an organization declared us a ‘cartel’ at an official event.
In short, we have become the public enemy of the entire world.
Of course, Korean associations and the government came forward to refute it, but it would be difficult to expect any effect.
If it comes with force, you can respond with force.
But if it comes out politically like this…
we have no choice.
“The backlash from domestic punitive organizations is enormous. “Everyone is making a fuss and demanding that we take responsibility… and there is even a lawsuit filed against the Korean Association for damages.”
“It’s only natural that the subjugation project was blocked overnight.”
“It’s not that easy to say! Aside from business, what are you going to do about the dungeons that appear right now?! If we leave it like this, monsters will start escaping next week…!”
“That’s what we were aiming for.”
“…yes?”
“If you unilaterally block one country’s right to subjugate, isn’t there ultimately only one choice?”
It’s only now that we’re doing a subjugation project or something, but fundamentally, subjugation is an act for the safety of the country and its citizens.
So the fact that we can no longer subdue is not just a business problem, it also means that the means to protect the country from monsters have disappeared.
If things continue like this, Korea will collapse in less than half a year… or even a month.
There is no other way to stop it.
“We have no choice but to hand over the right to suppress to the International Association.”
“….”
A branch of the International Association will be established and they will manage all subjugation and dungeons in the country.
The hub in Vietnam, the Central African branches, the by-products they supply, and even the Eclipse, which was completed just a few days ago, will all be in the hands of the international association.
That’s probably what they wanted too.
Because it would be possible to eliminate all subjugated companies in the country, including Korean associations, in an instant.
“Is that really the only way?”
“Yes, unless there is room for negotiation.”
“….”
A shadow fell on Director Lee Ah-young’s face.
She, too, seemed to have convinced herself that there was no way, and soon nodded heavily.
I picked up the phone.
The decision had to be conveyed to Association President Lee Doo-sik.
“Yes, president of the association.”
“…Have you found a way?”
“It’s painful, but… No matter how much I think about it, this is the only way.”
I slowly opened my mouth.
“All dungeon management and association authority, including domestic subjugation rights, will be transferred to the International Association…”
“Wait a minute!”
It was none other than Han Yu-bin who stormed into the office, abruptly interrupting me.
“Listen to me for a moment.”
“What is it…?”
She took a moment to catch her breath and then continued.
“When I was a member of the US branch, I heard something from Chloe’s support team leader. “The international association always acts only for its purpose.”
“…?”
“At first, I thought they were just thinking about the safety of citizens around the world. However, if you look at the fact that they are trying to take away the right to subjugate by pushing it into a cartel, that is definitely not their purpose. “Maybe it’s something else…”
Han Yu-bin tried to guess, but unfortunately, it wasn’t very helpful.
In the end, it’s just something you say without knowing anything about the International Association.
Well, she still doesn’t know what happened between me and the International Association.
“I haven’t told Yubin yet, but in fact we have been interfering with the International Association. Now, this is retaliation for my actions up to now. There is no other purpose…” “
No. “It’s strange when I think about it.”
The person who interrupted me at that time was Director Lee Ah-young.
Immediately after hearing Yubin Han’s story, I stroked my chin and fell into thought.
“If their goal was to retaliate against us, they would have tried to use force without tolerance as soon as they defined it as a cartel. “Isn’t there a reason to delay our choice?”
“…So you’re saying the International Association has another purpose?”
“I mean, that might be the case. For example, we need to get what we have now intact.”
“Of all the things we have, there is nothing that could be…” “
…”
At that moment, the same thing seemed to pop into my head at the same time.
“No way…”
“Eclipse…?”
Did they hear that we had secured additional bank items?
‘I even lied about reporting it to the association, so how on earth did they find out?…’
No, putting that aside for now, if this was really done to retrieve the bank items…
“There is still… room for negotiation.” There may still be some left.”
“…yes.”
We nodded at the same time.

“What what…?!”
Seoul Planning Headquarters Association President’s Office.
I told Director Lee Du-sik the story so far.
“That was Lee Neung-seok?! But why did you report it to me as just a by-product?!”
“They tried to block information from our lines. Well… it was useless in the end.”
“No, no matter what, to me….”
“What does that mean now? “Anyway, isn’t it important that it got into your ears?”
“Keu…”
He groaned for a moment.
“But how on earth did it get into that ear? Didn’t you say last time that the Korean part was disbanded? Could it be that there is still a spy in the Association….”
“That’s probably not true.”
He answered firmly.
I asked Director Lee Ah-young to explain on my behalf.
“Every time a bank item is activated, it emits an enormous power wave. It’s a very brief moment, though. “If the International Association had detected the supernatural wave that occurred during the last accident, there is a possibility that they would have been aware of it.”
“If I knew that, I should have hidden it more thoroughly!”
“It’s a result-based story. “Because we were caught, we found the reason, otherwise we wouldn’t have found out until the end.”
Association President Lee Du-sik pointed his head.
I didn’t want to give him time to think, so I opened my mouth right away.
“This may actually be a good thing. If what they really want is a bank item, our options have increased…” “
Hey, hey, you can’t believe it….”
“Let’s hand over Si-seok and Lee Neung-seok.”
“….”
Of course, under international subjugation law, bank items cannot be transferred between associations.
But what does that mean now?
There is no way the International Association would refuse to hand it over to us.
And there are countless ways to hand it over to other countries as long as it doesn’t get caught.
Of course, I still don’t understand why they are so obsessed with bank items, but there is no time to worry about that in the current situation.
“We have no choice but to hand over everything we have built to the Lee Dae-ron International Association. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to just hand over the bank items and at least keep the right to subjugation?”
“….”
“President of the Association…!”
“Be quiet. “Because I’m thinking about it.”
The silence continued like that for a long time.
In fact, he may have already made a decision in his mind.
Because of his personality, there is no comparison between two bank items and the safety of the country.
Still, the reason why I can’t say it easily is…
‘I guess I’m anxious after handing over the bank items.’
You will be anxious because you cannot know what the International Association will do with the bank items you have collected.
I understand how you feel, but there is no point in worrying about the current situation.
Anyway, our options are decided.
“Can I contact the International Association?”
“no. I will do it.”
“…okay.”
Association President Lee Doo-sik’s eyes turned to the ceiling.
“Let’s hand it over. Bank item.”
“All right.”
“Ha, Shibeol….”
His voice, mixed with anxiety, rang hollow.

“The last Central African project was carried out by CEO Kim Jun-woo, right?”
Hanbyul General Trading urgently convened a board meeting in response to the international association’s unbelievable announcement.
President Ha Seong-il was also present.
“I knew it would be like this. “There’s no way a former janitor’s job will work out well!”
“Do you know how many companies are going bankrupt right now because of Karma Corporation?!”
“Boss, we need to stop before it’s too late.”
The directors raised their voices and President Ha Seong-il held his head.
Immediately after the International Association’s announcement, the current situation is truly chaos.
All media, including the news, continued to report, the Internet was on the verge of explosion, and the government was still at a loss.
The stock prices of subjugated companies across the country plummeted enormously in just 30 minutes.
‘How could something like this happen in an instant…’
President Ha Seong-il shook his head with a devastated face.
Although there is no official position, all punitive organizations, including the association, will probably dispose of the business sooner or later.
Of course. Now subjugation has become impossible in Korea.
Of course, Hanbyul Trading, which is engaged in the domestic by-product distribution business, is also bound to take a hit.
But that’s just one of many businesses.
You will take a hit, but you can take it easy and focus on other businesses.
But not Karma Corporation.
It’s as if they lost everything in an instant.
President Ha Seong-il paused for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Korean associations and the government continue to raise objections to the international community. Being defined as a cartel is an incredibly unfair treatment. Above all, it is groundless to say that Representative Kim has committed continuous terrorism against the International Association.”
“There is no basis! Then, could it be that the International Association lied in public without any basis?”
“yes.”
President Ha Seong-il answered firmly.
“They lied.”
“….”
“….”
Didn’t CEO Kim Jun-woo tell you that?
He attempted to carry out a self-made terrorist attack using a third party to create a justification for unifying the African branches.
If CEO Kim Jun-woo had not prevented it, much greater damage would have occurred.
Of course, President Ha Seong-il did not see the situation with his own eyes. I also only heard about it from CEO Kim.
However, my father’s sudden death occurred around the same time.
Shortly after that, his older brother started a black market business in partnership with an anonymous overseas investor.
You can tell just by looking at those two things, right?
As far as who is saying it is true.
‘But I can’t explain everything that happened in the past to the directors…’
Even if I did, there’s no way they would believe me.
They are probably already thinking about breaking their alliance with Karma Corporation and minimizing the damage.
If this happens, you can’t push forward.
Above all, Kim Jun-woo has now become a public enemy of the nationwide subjugation companies.
Even if he is the only one who believes in him, there is nothing he can do if everyone but him turns their backs on Kim Jun-woo.
‘Then what… I have no choice.’
Soon, President Ha Seong-il burst out laughing.
“For the sake of the company, it would of course be right to sever ties with Karma Corporation. But I can’t do that.”
“Boss Sa!”
“Now is the time to dwell on affection…!”
“So from now on, I will do whatever I want. However, I have no intention of dragging the company into it.”
President Ha Seong-il expressed his determination with a smile.
“As expected… I guess I wasn’t the boss to begin with.”
