“What does that mean?”
Ryuhei Haramura’s reaction was that he did not understand what he heard.
“It is the same as I said. “I will make your lies the truth.”
“….”
As soon as he finished speaking, the silence subsided.
But even for a moment, Haramura had a complicated expression on his face.
“The CEO of a successful company is willing to help me… I’m grateful, but why…?”
“There is no need to thank me. “I’m not saying I’m going to help you.”
“Uh what?”
“Why would I want to cover up your lies? “I’m just saying that I’m going to move because it’s to my benefit if your lies aren’t discovered.”
Did you really think that I would intervene in someone else’s country’s family affairs for no reason?
If you thought that way, it would be shameless.
If the lie is revealed, the Haramura family’s influence over the international association will naturally be lost in an instant.
The Haramura family will be ruined, but it may be a given process.
Well, whether they fail is none of my business.
I just don’t want to lose my weapon against the International Association.
This is not a helping hand.
I am offering my hand to him who is pushed to the edge of a cliff in exchange for his life.
“We need the influence of the Haramura family. However, after hearing a rumor that the Japanese branch might withdraw from the International Association, I came to see if it would be possible to proceed with an acquisition. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like that’s possible.”
“It would be no problem. “If you had been planning on leaving the International Association in the first place, you wouldn’t have come to buy a method from me.”
“you’re right. But it actually worked out well. “I think we can achieve our goal without having to take over the branch.”
“….”
Haramura’s expression gradually hardened.
He seemed to gather his thoughts for a moment and then asked.
“So what you’re saying is… that we should join hands with Korea in exchange for helping me?”
“well. I’m not here to represent Korea, so that’s too grandiose. Just think of it as holding hands with me.”
“So what are you going to do and how will you help? I heard that Karma Corporation recently established the largest research center. Are you trying to teach me the method there?”
“Mr. Haramura, if you are mistaken, you are in trouble.”
Do you still not understand your situation?
I guess I’m not in a position to ask anyone for anything right now.
‘You’re even targeting Eclipse?’
There has to be a degree in people. I don’t know the topic…
“We are trying to cover up the lies you told us with the truth, not so that you can create a truly special weapon.”
“….”
“As I said, all you have to do is remain a member of the family that can influence the International Association as you have done so far. “It doesn’t matter what weapon you make.”
It seemed that only then did he realize that Haramura was not trying to help him.
He asked with a very bitter expression.
“What should I do?”
“You don’t need to do anything in particular. The branch is probably busy looking for you by now. Because of their personalities, they can be quite extreme. “Don’t get hurt for no reason, and meet the branch manager first.”
“…what?”
His eyebrows twitch.
“Walk into the branch with my own feet? What should I do if they openly ask for a public law?…”
“Then just make a fuss about it. “I will also go to the branch at the right time.”
“What is that… what are you going to do?”
“ha. Mr. Haramura.”
You are such a frustrating person.
You say you will extend your lifespan, but why do you keep asking me questions?
“Just shut your mouth and do as I tell you. “Unless you want to embarrass yourself here.”
“….”
“Anyway, I made it clear. “Don’t be in trouble and go to the branch.”
With those words, I left the office, taking Han Yubin with me.
“I understand how you feel, Ayoung.”
Han Yu-bin opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.
“What does that mean all of a sudden?”
“I’m so frustrated! If you knew something, you could have told me in advance. “If you’re just going to drag me along without even telling me what you’re thinking, why did you bring me here?!”
“….”
An arrow flew from an unexpected place.
‘…This is something I’ve never heard before when I was hanging out with Director Lee Ah-young. Actually, I am the exact opposite of Lee Ah-young.’
Of course, Ayoung Lee also wonders what I am thinking.
But even if she doesn’t answer, she follows anyway.
Because he is a person who knows that not talking to him means that he doesn’t have to know.
To put it in a good way, he knows his role. In a bad way, he is too blind.
But Han Yu-bin is not that kind of personality.
Unlike Lee A-young, she is closer to leading from the front rather than silently supporting from the side.
So, if you don’t convince yourself, you won’t move.
Although it may be annoying from the perspective of the person leading from the front, it cannot be seen as a bad thing.
In other words, he is a person who will handle anything perfectly as long as he is convinced.
It’s annoying, but there’s nothing you can do about it.
“I’m sorry. This time I was in a bit of a hurry so I couldn’t speak. Well, let’s be careful from now on.”
“Ah oh? “Yes, yes…”
He must have never expected to receive an apology, so he feels even more embarrassed.
I said I would do whatever I wanted, but what was the reaction?
“Anyway, how are you going to make the Haramura family’s lies the truth?”
Han Yu-bin asked vaguely, as if changing the topic.
I took a moment to gather my thoughts and answered.
“I told Mr. Haramura to meet the branch manager and take a brief look, but the truth is that he will inevitably be found out. “These are people who are interested in public law and will try to threaten or negotiate.”
“Then isn’t it dangerous? “If the branch finds out that you are lying…”
“There is a famous Japanese proverb that says that if you tell a lie 100 times, it becomes the truth.”
Although it has spread into an issue of the past history of both Korea and Japan, and there has been a lot of talk about it, it is an important clue when it comes to understanding what kind of people the Japanese are.
“Do you think people like that would report it to the International Association headquarters just because they knew the Haramura family rumor was a lie?”
“…ah.”
It seemed like only then did Han Yubin understand what I meant.
“They will try to hide it somehow. “It means that the branch will take care of it and make it true.”
I took the first step and continued speaking.
“We just need to put some fire in it.”

It was shortly after the CEO of Karma Corporation left the office.
A heavy silence settled in the chairman’s office.
“You sure don’t believe what they say, do you?”
“….”
The Chairman asked, but Haramura had no answer.
“That’s just a threat, you bastard! “If you join hands with that guy, you’ll have a weakness for the rest of your life!”
“Then why are we telling everyone here to report this and be embarrassed?”
“Oh no, I didn’t mean that… I was just saying that it would be okay to hide well.”
“until when? 1 year? 2 years? Or until I die?”
“….”
“You know that. My son entered the University of Tokyo this time. Even though he grew up without a mother, he became such a smart-ass guy. “Shouldn’t I at least be able to go to my son’s wedding?”
Haramura seemed to have already made his decision.
“…·I can’t help it.”
I was just getting up from my seat like that.
bang-!
“Brother tongue!!”
An organization member broke open the door and urgently looked for the chairman.
“What is it? “What’s going on?”
“Someone broke into our headquarters! I think he’s looking for his brother, and I can’t stop him! “Everyone below has already been punished!”
“…what?”
“You must avoid this for now!! “I’ll take my time, so hurry up…!”
bang-!
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from behind and the gang member fell to the ground.
“You are here.”
A young man entered the office speaking awkward Japanese.
The bodies of the chairman and Haramura froze.
“The branch manager is looking for you with his eyes lit up, Mr. Haramura. “Now stop being stubborn and let’s go.”
As the young man looked at him with a cold gaze, Haramura nodded slowly.
“Oh, I was already planning to go. So put down the gun…”
The moment he raised his hands and was about to approach the man.
“This bastard…! “I know where I am right now!”
The chairman, who could not sit still and watch, immediately took out a dagger.
[Unique Skill: Yeomra]
Cook-!!
“…Kahahah!”
Of course, it was just a matter of urging people to do so.
Suddenly, a tombstone rose from the chairman’s chest.
My head fell down without even being able to scream.
“….”
Haramura had no choice but to watch the scene with trembling eyes.
Soon the young man’s dull expression came into view.
The moment he saw the guy, Haramura had an intuition.
That this guy is a human living in a completely different world than themselves.

“It’s been a while. “Mr. Haramura.”
Branch Manager Shoichi Geari and Ryohei Haramura met face to face at the Japan branch.
“Hey man. There’s no need to go this far, right? “You even kill people just to find me…”
Haramura opened his mouth, his voice still trembling.
But Branch Manager Shoichi didn’t seem to care at all.
“As you know, you are the one who raised the branch.”
The conversation opened with a formal story.
“But it was very unfortunate that you suddenly cut off communication, which made it difficult to operate. I thought I had built more trust than anyone else so far. “I couldn’t help but do this.”
“…·What do you want to say?”
“I’m not sure why the teacher suddenly stopped contacting me…·. “We still desperately need your help.”
“….”
“If you have no intention of receiving orders again, please at least sell the method. “I will give you a reasonable price.”
“I will refuse.”
“10 billion yen.”
“…?!”
“Still, you don’t like it?”
Ten billion yen was an absurd price for just one family’s method.
If it were anyone else, it would have been a condition that they would have naturally accepted, but Haramura couldn’t.
If you give it away, it will be revealed that you are lying.
In the first place, there is nothing that can be called a family method.
As he was trying to save an answer, Branch Manager Shoichi’s eyes turned to the young man who had brought Haramura with him.
“Assistant Hwang. “Can I ask you one more favor?”
“Please tell me.”
“I heard that Mr. Haramura’s son has now entered the University of Tokyo. The name is Masato. “I heard he’s a first-year student in the economics department. Please bring him here.”
As soon as Director Shoichi finished speaking, the young man nodded and left the office.
“Now wait a minute! “What on earth are you going to do…!”
Haramura, who sensed that this was not a good thing, was scared and went out.
“Fuck you! If you even lay a finger on Masato, I will kill you!! Stop it now!! “Stop it!!”
“Mr. Haramura.”
Branch Manager Shoichi lowered his voice and opened his mouth to Haramura, who jumped up and started making a fuss.
“Am I not asking you politely now? Or should I bring your son’s head here so you won’t be tempted to take my offer and eat it?”
“…!”
A shadow fell over his face.
Soon, he closed his eyes tightly, as if ignoring reality.
No more.
Now that Masato is caught, I can’t hold on any longer.
In the end, Haramura forced his trembling lips to open.
“…It’s a lie.”
“yes?”
“It’s all lies! “There were no special weapons or techniques or anything like that from the beginning!”
Branch Manager Shoichi’s eyebrows twitched greatly.
“What kind of nonsense is that? Then the C-class subjugated the Red class…”
“I don’t know, damn it! It must have been a coincidence! “In the first place, they were made by importing low-level by-products left over from private guilds and making them look good on the outside!”
“….”
“It’s a public law, it’s a no-brainer, and there was no such thing from the beginning. Are we done now?! If you understand, please don’t touch Masato!”
I almost screamed, but Branch Manager Shoichi’s ears could no longer hear anything.
‘What is this now….’
It’s all been a lie so far?
I thought something was strange from the beginning, but…
no, that’s not important now.
If this fact gets to headquarters, things will escalate out of control.
Not only will I lose the brand called Haramura Kobo, but of course I, who was in charge of the contract between Haramura Kobo and the international association, will not be able to avoid responsibility.
If that happens, all the influence the Japanese branch has built so far will be lost.
‘No way. ‘It can never be as good as that.’
It was at that time when Branch Manager Shoichi was chewing his teeth and shaking his head.
smart-.
“That branch manager…”
Assistant Hina looked for him.
“what? “Can’t you see I’m busy right now?!”
“Well… a Karma Corporation representative is visiting the branch right now.”
“…What? Why are they suddenly doing this?”
“It’s nothing else…”
Aide Hina, who had no idea what was just being discussed, continued in a very calm voice.
“They say they want to proceed with a weapons contract with Haramura Workshop.”
“….”
Of course, it was news that came as a surprise to Branch Manager Shoichi.
