International Hunter Association Headquarters, Office of the Secretary-General.
Just an hour after making the official statement, the phone rang.
Secretary General Wesley calmly picked up the phone. A voice was heard for the first time.
“My name is Kim Jun-woo, CEO of Karma Corporation.”
Secretary General Wesley exclaimed slightly.
The man I had only heard about through reports contacted me directly.
He answered in a voice that I couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry.
“This is how we have conversations. Are you trying to negotiate because your right to subjugate is blocked?”
“That’s right.”
“Think about what you’ve done to us. “You should have been prepared for this kind of outcome.”
“I don’t think that’s what someone who created a secret organization to conceal the facts and framed us would say.”
“Mr. Kim.”
Secretary General Wesley spoke quite seriously to the voice of Kim Jun-woo, who did not give up at all even in a situation where he was pushed to the edge.
“It doesn’t matter what’s true. “It’s important whose words sound more true.”
「….」
It’s that kind of world.
No matter how much I cry about being framed, if I say cartel, it becomes a cartel.
Isn’t it obvious whether you would trust the words of the secretary-general of an international association more or the words of a janitor whose country you don’t even know is from?
“You know that well, don’t you?”
“Of course I know.”
“Then you also know that negotiation won’t work. Well, I’d like to listen to more of your story, but I’m also busy. “I’m going to hang up…”
“This is Lee Neung-seok.”
“…?”
Secretary General Wesley’s hand stopped.
“It is Lee Neung-seok, the bank item we recently secured. “I’ll hand it over to you along with the time stone.”
“….”
Wesley paused for a moment.
What on earth are you thinking? Suddenly handing over something so precious?
“Why such a decision all of a sudden?”
“Didn’t you say you would negotiate? “I will hand over the bank items, so please retract your definition of the Korean Association as a cartel.”
“Haha…”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
The decision to define all subjugation activities in Korea as a cartel was retaliatory, but the ultimate goal was to take over all of their subjugation authority.
Then, naturally, we will be able to retrieve the bank items currently held by the Korean Association.
‘But the fact that they are negotiating with bank items first…’ This
probably means that they have already figured out our real purpose.
I never thought we would attack head on.
A sincere smile appeared on Secretary General Wesley’s face.
Putting our relationship aside, I really liked his determination and ability to take action.
‘If that guy had been by my side, I might have achieved my goal a long time ago.’
But that’s it.
Just because I liked it, I couldn’t make a deal without benefit.
“It doesn’t make sense. “Anyway, it’s urgent, and we can take over everything, including bank items, even if we just stay still, so there’s no reason for us to accept negotiations, right?”
「….」
Kim Jun-woo’s answer was cut off.
A few seconds pass as I think for a moment.
“Well… that’s true,”
he admitted meekly.
“Even if the Secretary General does not accept the negotiations, the International Association will soon acquire all of our staff’s equipment and research centers, including the branches we have acquired.” “Why would
someone who knows that negotiate like this….”
“But “You won’t be able to get the bank items.”
“What?”
“If negotiations break down, I plan to destroy the bank items.”
“…Ha hahaha!”
In a situation where a head-on assault isn’t enough and you’re pushed to the edge of a cliff, are you going to threaten me instead?
Now I felt like I could vaguely understand why the entire PB Corporation was swayed by this one guy.
‘To begin with, the bowl is different from those guys.’
This guy should be at PB Corporation… no, at the headquarters.
It really was such a waste.
“So, take what you give. You’ve worked so hard, but if you just take the shell without the meat, you’ll probably have quite a stomach ache.” ”
… That’s amazing. “We clearly hold the sword, so how can we be so confident?”
“What are you talking about?”
Kim Jun-woo continued in a harsh voice.
“I have been holding the sword ever since I came back from the dead.”
“…?”
Secretary General Wesley’s eyebrows twitched.
There was a bone in the words that was hard to just pass by.
All kinds of thoughts started to come to mind.
But even for a moment.
“So what are you going to do?”
The other person pressed for an answer.
I was just about to think that even if I thought about it further, I wouldn’t come up with a good answer.
“…Well, that’s good. “I accept negotiation.”
“Then the transaction date will be one week later. The location is…”
“Let’s go to Incheon Port. Be comfortable with each other.”
“no. I will also decide the location.”
“….”
“It will be difficult to decide right now. We will discuss it internally and contact you again once it is decided. Please prepare the delivery route there.”
“I understand.”
“Then I understand that.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
Secretary General Wesley spoke in a completely different mood than before.
“Don’t even think about backstabbing during the transaction. “Unless you want to see the entire country blown up.”
With those last words, Wesley hung up the phone.
And then I immediately dialed CEO Emma’s number.
“Wesley? “I’m busy, but why do you keep contacting me?”
“I got a deal from over there. “I will hand over the bank items.”
“…Really?”
she asked in a shaky voice.
“why? “Is there a problem?”
“No, rather than that… is there really a need to make a deal? “I thought so too, but
Kim said he would destroy the bank items if negotiations were not possible.”
“under! Crazy guy, you talk so easily when you don’t even know what that thing is.”
“That’s what I’m saying. Anyway, given his personality, he’s a guy who will really destroy you if you mess up. “Whether we like it or not, we have no choice but to accept the negotiation.”
Representative Emma let out a long groan.
“It’s a shame. Of course, the goal is bank items… but in the end, it’s just Kim Jun-woo doing whatever he wants. “More than anything, I feel uneasy about the fact that I am willing to give it away obediently.”
“It’s the same. So, we need to prepare too.”
“What do you mean?”
“What do you mean? “Just hand over the bank items and wipe your mouth.”
“You want to ruin the deal? “Against Kim Jun-woo?”
“Is there anything you can’t do?”
Secretary General Wesley thought it was time to take out the knife he had prepared.
“Noah came in.”
***
“The transaction date was set a week later.”
I hung up the phone and relayed the information to Director Lee Ah-young.
Negotiations were successful.
Nevertheless, Director Lee Ah-young looked somewhat shaken.
“Will they really withdraw? No matter how you look at it, it looks like they will just take things and act like a fool…”
“Well, they are the ones who will get away with it.”
It would be a shame for them to make a deal like this even though they can get everything.
Judging from his actions so far, it was clear that he wouldn’t take the deal kindly.
‘Anyway, we can’t let things go as they want.’
Since I know that, of course I have no intention of handing it over.
“We should prepare too.”
“Is it okay to prepare? I’m sure they’re sharpening their knives over there too. “If you do something stupid and it goes wrong…”
“They say they’re going to blow up the whole of Korea. Well, the good news is that this deal is a little more advantageous for us.”
“…yes?”
He answered with a smile.
“We decided to decide the location of the transaction ourselves.”
“…?”
He tilts his head as if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
“We’ll talk about it in detail later… but let’s start with Eclipse. Please pass this on to your employees. “Please begin full operation of all extraction, production and reinforcement processes over the next week.”
“….”
“Why are you doing that? “Is there a problem?”
“You know. A very big problem.”
She continues speaking with a stern expression.
“I don’t have money to run Eclipse. “All investors withdrew their investments from us.”
“…ah.”
“More than anything, most of the employees left. It’s not like you don’t know the company’s situation. “I know for sure that I won’t be able to get a salary like this, so there’s no reason to stay.”
“….”
“Well, I can take charge of the process, but since there is no employee to stand on the line… Eclipse can no longer be operated.”
Now that I think about it, it was like that.
Aside from dealing with international associations, aren’t we now carrying the stigma of being a cartel anyway?
Since all future subjugation projects were completely halted, it was natural for investment to flow out.
“…It’s a big deal.”
“I also tried to secretly ask my father to help me… but the situation is the same at the association.”
That would be true.
If they were worse than us, it wouldn’t be a good situation.
“We don’t have a penny anymore. No, it’s actually fortunate if you don’t have a single penny. “The debt amounted to tens of billions of won in just one day.”
“….”
Not only was it not enough to be falsely accused internationally, but I was in debt overnight.
“There’s no use in contacting Boss Hanbyeol, right?”
“Corporate alliances are ultimately established only when there is mutual benefit. Not only Hanbyul Corporation, but other companies will not help either.”
We don’t know if the domestic market for subjugation was conquered just a few days ago.
It wasn’t our intention, but our image was pretty good and many people also supported us.
But things have changed.
Because of us, Korea suddenly became an unstoppable country, and all dungeon-related companies became cartels.
In no time, the Karma Corporation became a public enemy.
Now, not only will there be no benefit to sticking with us, but the sooner you cut your losses, the sooner you will be able to minimize your losses.
There is no one who can help us in this situation…
“There is nothing.”
A familiar voice was heard at that moment.
I turned my head and saw a man entering the office.
It was none other than President Ha Seong-il.
“Ha boss? What’s going on here…”
“As the director said, Boss Hanbyul will withdraw his alliance with Karma Corporation in the future. “Boss Hanbyeol will no longer help you, but not me.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I resigned as president.”
“…?”
He grins and delivers shocking news.
“Don’t you know? Something I didn’t want to do from the beginning. “I had no choice but to take on the role due to interference from the board of directors, but I guess business is not for me.”
“Then now…”
“I’m just unemployed.”
Unlike the rest of us who were dumbfounded, he continued to wonder what was so good about it.
But after a while, he asked with a very serious expression.
“As you know best, the current situation is really not good. “Is there any solution?”
“yes. However, there are no conditions to prepare. “Both financially and manpower-wise.”
“…okay.”
President Ha Seong-il, who was contemplating while stroking his chin for a moment, smiled again.
“Well, I’ll take care of the financial part somehow.”
“yes?”
“I will take out my retirement savings and all my stocks and invest them in Karma Corporation.”
“…?”
“…?”
Director Ayoung Lee and I opened our eyes at the same time.
“Now wait a minute. You don’t even know what we are preparing yet. So recklessly spending a lot of money….”
“I heard you have a plan.”
He continued speaking in a calm voice.
“Wouldn’t that be enough to persuade investors?”
“….”
I never looked at people like that….
This guy is quite crazy too.
Well, I’m sure this is enough money to run Eclipse…
“I’m grateful, but I can’t accept this.”
“yes? “Why?”
“Even if you have money, you can’t prepare if you don’t have employees. Even if you want to hire them again, there’s no way you can apply for a company that could go bankrupt at any moment.”
President Ha looked at him intently and smiled bitterly.
“CEO, aren’t you underestimating yourself?”
“…yes?”
“When I came in here earlier, it seemed like you didn’t have to worry about the staff.”
He said something incomprehensible and looked outside the office.
At the right time, noisy footsteps start to be heard from afar.
Soon, the true identity of the commotion came into the office.
