Chinese Association Headquarters.
Unlike the Hong Kong branch, this place I visited to finish the work was luxurious, from the exterior of the building to the interior of the office.
‘I guess I missed it…’
With that thought in mind, I waited for the man who was sitting across from me and reading the contract.
I guess I haven’t fully recovered yet and it hurts here and there, but what can I do?
There is no way I can put off becoming President of the Republic of Korea forever.
“So…”
The middle-aged man opened his mouth after looking at the contract for a long time.
The man’s name was Wang Xian.
It was none other than China’s Minister of Defense and the person who was currently serving as the interim president of the Chinese Association.
“Are you saying that as a condition of the merger and acquisition, Karma Corporation, not the Chinese government, will have the right to subdue China?”
“yes. “Including that the Chinese government will not interfere in any way with the branch’s internal affairs.”
“I see…”
He stroked his chin.
Of course, it may be a condition you don’t like.
Especially to the Chinese Minister of Defense.
The Chinese government is currently doing a lot of work through Chinese associations.
Special autonomous region control is also one of them.
However, if the Chinese association is taken over by a Korean company, they will lose too much if they can no longer control their own association.
With a little bit of exaggeration, this is no different from giving away half of China.
“I’m sorry. I think these conditions are unacceptable.”
It would not be unreasonable for it to come out like this.
“I thought you would.”
I continued speaking calmly.
“By the way, it’s not something I need to worry about, but may I ask what you plan to do with the subjugation in the future?”
“….”
“As you know, the grace period for joining the international association has ended. Now, the International Association has the authority to subdue the entire world, and permission to subdue only their affiliated organizations will be granted.”
Except for Karma Corporation, of course.
“Hasn’t the current Chinese association withdrawn from the international association? But if you don’t join hands with us, subjugation in the future will be impossible.”
This is a threat.
A threat that if we don’t join hands now, the one who will lose is China.
Secretary of State Wang also seemed to have noticed this and raised the corners of his mouth.
“We are the world’s second largest economy and the center of Asia. “Even if you are not part of either faction, you can still exert enough influence.”
“Are you saying you want to create a third force?”
“It’s entirely possible…”
“It’s impossible.”
I answered immediately, cutting him off.
“what…?”
The Secretary of State raised his eyebrows as if he had offended him.
“I told you that it would be impossible to create a third force.”
“On what basis?”
“There is nothing to call it a basis. That’s what international public opinion says.”
“….”
He closed his mouth at the firm answer.
I took advantage of that opportunity to take out newspapers from various countries and put them down in front of him.
“As you can see, there is a prevailing public opinion around the world that China has put civilians in danger by launching airstrikes to absorb the special autonomous region. I know you’re trying to cover it up and bury it somehow, but it won’t be enough to put an end to this situation. “Even…”
He then looked straight into Minister Wang’s eyes and spoke quietly.
“This isn’t even the first time.”
“….”
Instead of answering, he just stared at the newspaper.
“China has already become a public enemy around the world. Well, it may be presumptuous to say this, but my image so far may have played a role. “Under these circumstances, can China really be recognized as an independent punitive force?”
“…under!”
Minister Wang let out a laugh.
“Since when did we try to be recognized by the international community? There’s no need to admit that. “We take care of our own business!”
“Would it be like your heart?”
“of course…!”
“The system is not that easy.”
To be honest, I also do not like the idea of the International Association holding the right to suppress.
No, it’s not that I don’t like it, I just want to destroy it.
That’s why you go through all this trouble in the first place.
This is true not only for me but for all countries around the world.
Nevertheless, what is the reason for obediently following the instructions of the international association?
Because they still control the system.
If you start to hastily ignore them because they are wrong, the entire system built on them will collapse.
No matter how absurd the statement may be, we have no choice but to follow the international association until the foundation is reestablished.
Even if it is a country that does not like the International Association.
Everyone in the world knows this and we will not let anyone ignore this rule.
A broken order causes chaos, and that chaos is directly linked to the lives of all of us.
In other words, if China, which is completely ignored by the international community, hastily talks about being a third force and subjugating itself….
“The whole world will work hard to stop China. “If you take it to the extreme… it would be war.”
“…!”
“Minister Wang. “Are you prepared to wage war against the entire world?”
Minister Wang Xian’s face darkened for a moment.
It’s natural.
No matter how great a country it is, it would not be happy to turn the entire world into its enemy.
“If not, just sign it obediently.”
“This damned guy…!”
Soon he was crumpling the contract and rolling his eyes.
Of course, it’s a private plane that doesn’t work.
Because the result is obvious anyway.
In the first place, China, which was left with the Nakdong River duck egg situation, has no options.
Will I be left alone and eliminated?
Or do you throw away all your pride and crawl onto someone else’s roof?
That’s it.
“…Ok, fine. “I accept it.”
Secretary Wang seemed to know it well and slowly lowered his tail.
“Shouldn’t the government just not intervene in the branch’s affairs?
“Oh, one more thing. Please exclude government officials from the party and all national positions from high-ranking positions within the branch.”
“What?! Now what is that…!”
“What can we do if we don’t intervene? “It would be enough to just appoint people from the government to all management positions.”
His eyebrows became narrower.
I was very displeased, but there was nothing I could do.
“I get it. Like that…”
“Oh, another one. Please pay 10% of annual subjugation sales and 15% of total by-products to the headquarters every year.”
“What what…?”
“Lastly, I promised that I would help in any case when the head office requests it…”
“What are we going to do now! “Where are you playing?”
“A joke?”
I silently stared into his eyes at the words I couldn’t ignore.
“A person who played with people’s lives would be so excited about a joke like this?”
“…!”
Minister Wang keeps his mouth shut as if speechless.
Since the story seemed to have come to an end, I quickly got up from my seat.
“You will have to remember everything I said. “Unless you want to be cut off by us, too.”
“Ugh…!”
“Then I’ll just leave.”
I heard the sound of teeth grinding behind me, but I didn’t care and left.
As I was leaving the building and entering the street, my cell phone rang.
As expected, it was Director Lee Ah-young.
“How did it go?”
“It went well. Well, it was a decided result from the beginning.”
“If that were the case, I could have gone… You didn’t even bother.”
“What are you talking about now? “Who told you to go there in person at some point for preparation purposes?”
「….」
He remains silent as if he is being stabbed.
But even for a moment, she hastily changed the subject and opened her mouth.
“Ah, anyway! “This acquisition is quite meaningful to us.”
“Is that so?”
“of course. With this, the entire East Asia became part of Karma Corporation. Taking over the continent also means that we are now on par with the International Association.”
“Hmm.”
Isn’t that too broad an interpretation?
Well, the Chinese association is the only branch directly operated by the headquarters.
The rest are only affiliated with Korea and are operated independently.
“It’s going to get busier from now on.”
“Is there anything you’re going to be busier about?”
“Isn’t it obvious? The fact that the grace period for joining the international association has ended means that we can now exercise our authority to manage hunters.”
“Ah.”
I moaned softly.
Come to think of it, it was like that.
The International Association has the right to subjugate and we share the right to manage the hunters.
“From now on, we have to manage everything from the global hunter registration exam to the rank promotion test operation deployment support dispatch.” “
…It’s going to be a hassle.”
“Well… Actually, there was talk about that from the board of directors this time…”
“What is it again?”
She paused for a moment and then continued.
“They said they would like to revamp the hunter rank system this time.”
“…Yes?”
Suddenly what kind of bullshit is that?
“The ranking system is being reformed. I don’t understand. “Is that really necessary?”
“The current ranking system is based on the international association standards. Of course, hunters of the same affiliation received additional points. “My position is that that should be excluded as much as possible from the score.”
“Well, I don’t know. “If that’s the reason, isn’t it urgent right now?”
“We need to prepare the system in advance from now on so that there will be no side effects when the International Association is destroyed later…”
If it’s something like that, I can understand it.
As I said, if the international association that controls the system is torn down without any preparation, the existing order will be thrown into disarray.
Yes, I understand.
Unless I have to proceed.
“You sure didn’t appoint me as the reviewer, right?”
“Nothing has been decided yet. You probably won’t take it, though. You have work to do and your physical condition… Well, I’ll tell you well.”
Hmm, in that case.
“Then that’s how I know it.”
“When are you going to return home?”
“I don’t have anything to see anymore. “Let’s go right in.”
“all right. Then, I’ll make a flight reservation.”
“Yes. please.”
I hung up the phone and sighed.
‘It’s a ranking system reform…’
It’s annoying just thinking about it…
but it doesn’t matter as long as I don’t do it myself.
***
“Rank system reform?”
Karma Corporation headquarters reception room.
Former Association President Park In-beom asked.
Director Lee Du-sik sipped his coffee and nodded.
“yes. Hasn’t the International Association taken full control of the world’s subjugation? “We also have to use our authority little by little.”
“But… is it really necessary? Rather, it may only cause confusion.”
That was correct.
If the rank once registered is now changed, it may cause backlash and cause confusion regarding salary and position.
But even taking that into account, we had no choice but to push for reorganization.
“Do you remember Kim Min-ju as Hunter? I used to be the leader of Operation Team 2…”
“Oh, I know. “Even though he was young, he was a pretty good guy.”
“He is a guy who has grown tremendously while hanging out with Kim Jun-woo. No matter how you look at it, he’s not lacking in S rank… Strangely enough, I failed the promotion exam every time.”
“…Are you saying that the International Association is interfering with the rankings?”
“Do you know how many hunters in the top 100 in the world rankings are not affiliated with an international association?”
“As far as I know…”
He lowered his head and thought about it for a moment.
“…There is none.”
“Exactly.”
Director Lee Du-sik snapped his fingers.
“Yeah, well, I understand that. What does revamping the ranking system mean to us? “If we were just trying to change an unreasonable system, there wouldn’t be a need to proceed right now, right?”
“It means a lot. “If the reorganization allows hunters who are not part of the international association to enter the world rankings, doesn’t that mean that the number of talented people who can keep the international association in check will increase?”
“Hoo…”
Former Association President Park In-beom exclaimed in small exclamation.
However, Director Lee Du-sik did not seem to have any intention of ending there.
“Well, first of all, that’s the biggest goal, and the other goals are…”
Soon, Director Lee Du-sik’s eyes sparkled.
“I plan to use this opportunity to cut down those who trust only their business card called Hunter and install things without any skills.”
“…Hahahahaha!”
At those words, Park In-beom started laughing heartily.
“It’s what I hoped for. “As expected, you can do one thing well!”
“What could I have done? “All we do is put a spoon on the table that Junwoo prepared.”
“so?”
Soon Inbeom Park asked.
“Who do you plan to be in charge of reviewing?”
“Of course, who else but him?”
“Of course…not like that.”
At that moment, smiles spread across the faces of both men.
