“You negotiated with Eden at stake…?”
U.S. branch central control room.
Immediately after returning from the scene, I told Director Lee A-young about what had happened with Secretary-General Wesley.
“With the Eden we never found?”
Of course she reacted with astonishment.
“Well, fortunately it went well.”
“Then you kept saying strange things on the phone before…”
“I tried acting.”
“Oh no… what would you do if you got caught?!”
“Isn’t it because you weren’t caught?”
I shrugged my shoulders indifferently.
Director Lee Ah-young touched her forehead and shook her head.
“Haha, it’s so ridiculous!”
“Then what should I do? “I would rather die than go under that guy, and I can’t negotiate when I don’t have anything.”
If this is the worst case scenario, you should at least pretend to hold the hilt of the sword.
“And I never said a word about finding Eden. “They mistook it for leverage, so even if they get caught, they won’t have anything to say.”
“I don’t think that excuse will work…”
Director Lee Ah-young said, narrowing his eyes.
“Anyway, you avoided the worst. No, I would say this is the best for us.”
“…That’s right. Hunter management authority and operational oversight authority in recognition of an independent body. “I also got to share bank items.”
“In the future, we will be able to continue our own suppression and branch activities. “It is a bonus to be able to check the dictatorship of the international association.”
“If you look at it that way, there’s nothing better, but…”
Director Lee Ah-young trailed off and let out a light sigh.
I could immediately understand what she wanted to say.
“Are you saying what comes next is the problem?”
“Yes. Anyway, the goal of the International Association is to monopolize dungeons and hunters around the world. Now that they think we are holding the hilt of the sword, they may have taken a step back…”
“Once the hilt is gone, they will barge in with their teeth again.”
It’s obvious.
Are they so happy that they gave us control?
That’s just a privilege lent for a while to cry and eat mustard.
I will definitely try to get it back when the deadline comes.
And the method might be….
“I might take out my last resort.”
“You mean…?”
“It means it could start a war.”
Director Lee Ah-young’s expression became very serious.
“It sounds like it could be a worse situation.”
“Well, don’t be like that. Since we are opposing the International Association, it was bound to happen at some point.”
“Do you have any preparedness plans?”
“Not right now.”
I answered firmly.
“But we can prepare for the future.”
“how…?”
“Isn’t there authority lent to us by the International Association?”
I’ll have to use those powers to the fullest before the deadline to return them comes.
“Karma Corporation has become an independent organization. Of course, the same goes for the organizations we acquire. In that case, we should make as many allies as possible.”
“….”
“Of course, it’s easy to say, but in reality it will be quite difficult. “The situation of the remaining independent organizations is not so good.”
He continued speaking in a very serious voice.
“We need to help them do their part as best as possible, solve chronic problems, and make sure organizations can trust us. “I also have to gain the trust of the employees…”
I trailed off.
After spitting out the words, I wondered if even I could do it.
Well, seeing as Director Lee Ah-young is looking at me without answering, it looks like she has the same thoughts…
“So, you’re saying you’re going to do the same thing as you have done so far?”
“…yes?”
“…yes?”
Why is it like that?
Do you understand what I’m saying?
At that time, we were tilting our heads with question marks on each other’s faces.
“CEO!”
Branch Manager Michael opened the office door with an excited look on his face.
“The news all over the world is crazy right now! Fierce criticism is pouring in against the International Association! It looks like this incident leaked out…!”
“Ah, there’s already a response.”
“…yes?”
Branch Manager Michael’s eyebrows twitched.
It’s an expression that says he heard something he couldn’t hear.
“Headquarters has created this mess saying they will interfere with the operation, but we can’t just sit still.”
“Then the CEO…?”
“yes. I reported it. “Everything about this attack.”
Of course, if the attack had been successful, it would have passed as if nothing had happened. There would be no one left who would speak up about this incident.
However, as long as it fails spectacularly, we cannot tolerate it.
Of course, Branch Manager Michael seemed very uneasy about openly attacking the International Association.
“I heard the negotiations went well, but why did you have to do this….”
“A negotiation is just a negotiation. “Shouldn’t you take responsibility for fearlessly trying to kill my teammates?”
Above all, I did not report this with the sole intention of hitting the international association.
“As soon as this matter becomes known to the public, any association that has any thoughts will break away from the international association. And we…”
This incident is a stepping stone for the preparations we will prepare in the future.
“I plan to target those associations first.”

“What is this….”
Director Lee Du-sik, who was checking the news, opened his mouth with a bewildered expression.
I knew that the US branch was conducting a large-scale operation, but I was attacked by the International Association.
Director Lee Du-sik was first worried.
It’s not that it’s not, but if I had known something like this would happen, I wouldn’t have sent Lee Ah-young away.
‘Well, seeing as there hasn’t been any significant contact, it must mean he’s safe…’
Those thoughts were fleeting, but Director Lee Doo-sik’s eyes turned to the headlines again.
‘Karma Corporation recognized as an independent punitive organization.’
Below it, detailed information was written about the authority that Karma Corporation had obtained from the International Association.
Director Lee Doo-sik, who confirmed this, let out a laugh without realizing it.
‘What on earth were you doing there…?’
I couldn’t believe it.
This was not simply a blow to the international association.
When the International Association notified a few days ago that it would control punitive powers, the reason there was no comment was, of course, due to trust in the International Association.
Hasn’t the International Association been more passionate about subjugating people than anyone else under the slogan, ‘Citizen’s safety is the top priority?’
For citizens around the world, the International Association was a reliable figure and hero that protected their lives.
Because of that strong trust, the International Association was able to maintain its reputation despite several instances of criticism.
But because of this incident, that trust was completely destroyed.
Whether this was planned or really an accident, they not only unilaterally withdrew the US branch, but also attacked those in operation… Thanks to this,
criticism is pouring in from all over the world towards the International Association, and at the same time, views on the control of punitive power are also negative. is changing to
For the international association, this incident is truly a fatal blow.
‘But Karma Corporation is the opposite….’
Rather, Karma Corporation rose to the surface due to this incident.
The world’s only independent punitive organization.
Hunter management authority and international association operational management oversight authority.
This made it the only group capable of opposing the International Association.
Things that Kim Jun-woo had been talking about, such as overseas branch projects and a second international association, are slowly becoming a reality.
“This… might really be possible.”
Soon, Director Lee Doo-sik spoke with a trembling voice to former association president Park In-beom, who was sitting across from him.
However, former president of the association, Park In-beom, showed a shocked expression.
“Well, I’m a little worried.”
“Do you think the International Association will not sit still?”
“It’s not the same, but it never stays still.”
He said with a very serious face.
“Look at what we’ve done so far. “They are the ones who will go to war to get what they want.”
“…They really want to start a war in this day and age.”
“No way, it’s a people magazine.”
Former association president Park In-beom let out a light sigh.
Only then did Director Lee Du-sik feel an ominous feeling.
“Should I tell that guy Kim Jun-woo too?”
“No, there’s no way he wouldn’t know. Everyone has their own thoughts, right?”
Even though I said that, I still couldn’t shake off my anxiety.
Even if we take a step back, doesn’t the International Association still have bank items?
As long as the bank item is in hand, this situation can be reversed at any time….
“That director…”
At that moment, an employee carefully looked for Director Lee Doo-sik.
“Something?”
“A special shipment from the International Association has just arrived. “We checked and it seems that they are Lee Neung-seok and Ban Neung-seok.”
“…what?”
Director Lee Doo-sik and former association president Park In-beom’s eyes widened at the same time.
***
Temporary Operations Center in Northern Korea, United States.
The miserable site was gradually coming back to its original state as repair work progressed.
But for some reason, Kim Min-ju’s expression remained dark.
-Isn’t that why you came to the past? To stop the International Association from monopolizing and bring me down.
That’s why the words Wesley said to Kim Jun-woo couldn’t leave my mind.
“I’m the one who almost died, so why do you look like you chewed shit?”
In the end, Han Yu-bin, who couldn’t see it any better, walked up to her and spoke to her.
“What’s going on?”
“….”
Kim Min-ju smiled bitterly instead of answering.
That too for a while.
“Yubin… what do you think you will feel when your teacher disappears?”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“Someone said that. The teacher said he sacrificed himself to create a better world. And that it may disappear when you achieve your goal.”
“…?”
“But I was wondering what would be the meaning of a good world or anything if there were no teachers.”
Han Yubin tilted her head.
This was because I could not understand Kim Min-ju’s words at all.
I wondered if he was joking, but it seemed like that wasn’t the case because Kim Min-ju’s expression was more serious than ever.
After thinking for a while, Yubin Han opened her mouth.
“Well, I definitely don’t like that. To be honest, Minjoo and I are doing this not because we like it, but because we like working with that person.”
“That’s right…”
“But what can I do? If that’s his goal, we can’t stop him from doing it. Still… I wonder if there is a need to risk my life.”
Han Yu-bin looked at Kim Min-ju.
“Then can’t we both just be greedy? “It can be a good world without that person having to sacrifice.”
“What is that…?”
Han Yubin pointed his index finger to the sky.
“Let him sit in the highest place.”
“…!”
“Then there is no need for him to sacrifice. “I don’t think there’s a better world than that, right?”
Minju Kim looked as if she had been hit on the head.
“Well, we just have to work harder. That person is better suited to a high place rather than sacrifice.”
“If it’s a high place….”
“What can I do?”
Han Yubin smiled.
“There is no better one than the Secretary General of the International Association.”
