In the middle of Paris.
In front of the International Association headquarters, Yubin Han looked at me with a serious attitude I had never seen before.
“…What are you curious about?”
When I asked, she opened her mouth with an expression that suggested she already knew.
“It means that it came from the future and that it will return once its purpose is achieved… and that purpose is to destroy the International Association. entire.”
“…Why are you curious about that?”
“That way I can continue to help you there.”
I let out a light sigh at the firm answer.
It is my mistake.
I said those words without paying attention to the fact that there was someone next to me in an attempt to provoke the Secretary General.
Of course, my identity is not a secret that should never be revealed.
In the first place, there was no condition in the skill that it could not be discovered by others.
Nevertheless, I didn’t bother to bring it up because I thought there was no way people would believe me because I didn’t say anything until now.
But it’s different now.
About the hidden skill that I returned from the future.
In the current situation, no matter what absurd story you tell her, she will believe it.
The question is whether saying this will be helpful in the current situation.
‘There are a lot of other problems, and it’s not good for me to just cause confusion…’
Above all, it wasn’t my intention, but since I became the head of a large organization, there is no way that going back once the goal is achieved will look good.
They may stop following me, saying they are running away without responsibility.
Even if that weren’t the case, it was quite obvious that it would have a negative impact.
‘Then there’s no need to tell me…’
I looked at her.
I want to just shrug it off, but looking at the momentum, it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to back down easily.
It was a time when I was thinking for a long time about what to do.
With perfect timing, my cell phone rang.
It was a call from Kim Min-ju.
I put off answering for now and picked up the phone.
“Sir, almost everyone has been dispatched now. As soon as we arrived, we provided subjugation support, and it is progressing stably.”
“…Okay.”
“It’s been an hour less here, so I think the teacher just needs to worry about replenishing the staff.”
I nodded instead of answering.
Of course, there was no way Kim Min-ju could have seen that.
“Oh, by the way, how did things go well with the Secretary General? “You didn’t go all the way there and fight, right?”
“I tried to do that, but there was no need.”
“…Yes?”
“Don’t worry. Because the conversation went well.”
Although the process is somewhat uncomfortable.
“Is the International Association really preparing for war?”
“…Yes.”
I continued speaking in a firm voice.
“If you hadn’t been prepared for something, you would have definitely fought back when I provoked you. “If that wasn’t the case, it means that there was something that was holding them back.”
The reason I provoked the Secretary General there was because I really wanted to fight, but at the same time, I also had the intention of confirming it.
However, the Secretary General took a step back despite being in an overwhelmingly advantageous position.
This made it clear.
“These bastards will pull out their swords sooner or later.”
“…is that so?”
They are preparing something that should not be revealed yet.
“What are you going to do now?”
“We should think about that now. “Please only convey this story to other division heads and Director Lee Du-sik.”
“…Okay,”
she answered in a heavy voice.
“Teacher, are you going to return home right away?”
“I don’t know. “I’m just going to watch it a little longer.”
“yes. “If you have any problems, please contact me right away.”
I answered briefly and immediately hung up.
“They say the subjugation support is progressing without a hitch.”
“….”
I relayed the call details to Han Yu-bin, but she didn’t even answer, as if she wasn’t interested in that.
He’s still looking at me with the same expression.
‘Oh, that stubborn…’
The face still says it won’t move until it hears an answer.
After scratching my head, I finally opened my mouth with a sigh.
“It’s a lie.”
“….”
“There is no time machine, so how can someone come from the future? Well, it looks like the Secretary General imagined this and that on his own… You really shouldn’t believe that.”
I smiled and answered like that.
For a moment, Han Yu-bin looked uncertain as if something was not clear.
“…all right. “If that’s the case, then so be it.”
He soon let out a chuckle and shrugged his shoulders.
“song. “There’s still a lot left to do.”
And then he walked past me first.
I looked at her back as she walked ahead for a moment and then slowly followed her.

Karma Corporation Headquarters.
Director Lee Du-sik’s office.
“So, so far, the dispatch has proceeded without a problem, and it has been reported that the subjugation has begun immediately. Fortunately, no casualties have occurred in any country yet.”
“Thank goodness.”
When General Manager Ha Seong-il reported the status, Director Lee Doo-sik nodded with his arms crossed.
“Now, the number of dropouts has reached a stable level of 100 per day.”
“How many people have escaped so far?”
“It is confirmed that approximately 200,000 people have escaped.”
“What are your plans to replenish personnel?”
“We have currently posted recruitment notices all over the world. The number of applicants exceeded 100,000 in one day. Of course, we have to go through screening, and it will take some time for registration and training, but…”
Director Ha Seong-il continued, flipping through documents.
“We expect that it will all be filled within six months at the latest.”
“hmm.”
Director Lee Du-sik groaned slightly and nodded.
“During that one month, dispatch, subjugation allowances, and other costs are estimated to be approximately KRW 100 billion. Fortunately, I think we will be able to proceed without major losses thanks to the investment I received from my grandfather… or rather, Chairman Ha Deok-soo of Hanbyeol Group.”
“okay.”
“Well, I’m glad it ended like this.”
“It seems that Kim Jun-woo’s invasion of the headquarters had an effect.”
“That’s right.”
The two men sighed in relief and smiled.
However, Director Lee Doo-sik still looked somewhat shaken.
Even though the fire was quickly extinguished, something uncomfortable still remained.
If this incident was really the result of the International Association’s involvement in intentionally causing dropouts… what was the reason?
Of course, it became clear thanks to what Kim Jun-woo delivered, but he also already knew roughly.
Actions shown by the International Association so far.
and their purpose and current standing as Karma Corporation.
When you put all of this together, it goes without saying why they had so many dropouts.
It is gathering informal manpower.
And the purpose, of course….
‘The last resort….’
Director Lee Du-sik felt dizzy.
Clearly, until a few years ago, the International Association was the world’s best punitive organization.
They led associations in each country at the forefront of this situation and laid the foundation for citizens to live safely.
At the same time, we worked together with associations in each country to resolve this terrible situation, and in the process, there were numerous crises and noble sacrifices.
We had only one wish amidst the sacrifices of those who could rightly be called heroes at the time.
This situation of unknown cause must be brought to an end as soon as possible.
At the center was the International Association.
So far, there has not been a single person who doubts their skills and intentions.
I had no doubt that they would save citizens around the world.
However, this situation has continued for 50 years and there is still no sign of it ending.
no.
Even though I could finish it, I ended up in a situation where I couldn’t.
In the end, the International Association, which was called the world’s hero, was reduced to an organization for power and strength.
Director Lee Doo-sik also confirmed their appearance several times.
‘It is clearly an organization established for the safety of citizens….’
How dare he sharpen his sword against citizens to protect his position?
After all, this is what happens when a person takes on power despite the purpose of its establishment.
Director Lee Du-sik shook his head.
But even for a moment.
“What do you think Director Ha should do?”
Feeling very frustrated, I asked General Manager Ha Seong-il for his opinion.
“…yes?”
“What do you think we should do from now on?”
“….”
Director Ha Seong-il paused for a moment.
But he had already decided on an answer.
I just felt uncomfortable saying it.
“I heard that Karma Corporation was originally established to keep the International Association in check.”
“yes. Well, it’s no longer at the level of checking, but we should be thinking about devouring it.”
“Then the answer has already been decided.”
Soon he continued speaking with difficulty.
“We have to fight back too.”
“…I guess that’s true too, right?”
“Of course, if it can be avoided, it is absolutely right to avoid it. “But don’t you know very well that that’s not possible?”
Director Lee Du-sik nodded heavily at those dagger-inducing words.
“Then we can’t help it.”
“If war is waged between subjugating organizations… the aftermath will be beyond imagination.”
“I know. “After the war, we might go back to the Stone Age.”
“Do you still think we should fight back?”
“Director, we are the weak.”
Director Ha Seong-il continued speaking in a very serious voice.
“Hasn’t the International Association already revealed its ambition for power? “If we don’t fight even after seeing that, we will live as weak people at the feet of the International Association for the rest of our lives.”
“….”
“If that’s the case, I’ll have to try my best to kill it.”
Director Lee Du-sik burst out laughing at the answer.
“You’re not a person with special abilities, but you speak eloquently.”
“ha ha ha!”
It’s time to let out a lively laugh.
“Of course… that’s what I’m saying, but realistically it will be difficult.”
“hmm?”
“We are not large enough to oppose the International Association by force. “If we could get associations around the world on our side, the results would be minimal with the current number of people.”
“Hmm…”
Director Lee Doo-sik thought about those words for a moment.
That is correct.
We are preparing for war and we do not have the personnel to use as military forces in the first place.
However, it is not possible to gather hundreds of thousands of unofficial members like the International Association…
At that time, I was deep in thought.
“good.”
Soon, Director Lee Du-sik seemed to have made up his mind and took out his cell phone.
“Oh, it’s me.”
Karma Corporation’s head of support called his daughter.
“What’s going on? “You contacted me directly.”
“What was the result of processing the semi-neungseok last time?”
“…Why all of a sudden?”
“Oh, don’t be silly! how was it?”
“Well, it was successful. “It was my first time processing bank items, but it wasn’t that difficult.”
“Yes… that’s right…”
The corners of Director Lee Du-sik’s mouth turned up.
Soon he got to the point.
“Then… can you also process Lee Neung-seok?”
“Yes…?”
“I mean Lee Neung-seok. “A bank item that grants special abilities to objects.”
“I know that! “What are you asking to use it for?”
“The International Association is preparing for war, and we are in no condition to stand up to them. Still, I think I should try as much as I can for now.”
「….」
Director Lee Ah-young’s answer was cut off for a moment.
She also seemed to have a vague sense of what Director Lee Du-sik was trying to say.
Just keep quiet and think about it for a while.
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
I got the answer I wanted.
“But it’s something we can’t do on our own. “I need to get permission from the higher-ups…”
“I’ll take care of that.”
Director Lee Du-sik hung up the phone as if he had nothing more to hear.
He then turned to Director Ha Seong-il and gestured.
“You too, follow me. “Because I have somewhere to go.”
“Yes yes? Where do you mean?”
When Director Ha Seong-il was taken aback by the sudden story, Director Lee Du-sik responded with a smile.
“Blue house.”
He immediately took his coat and left the office.
