WDSO Seoul Headquarters, Republic of Korea.

The man was shocked by the very sudden news that came there.

A board meeting was hastily convened.

Chloe Ross.

Former head of the bank item management team at PB Corporation.

At the same time, he is the one who led the hostile takeover by attacking the Korean Association two years ago.

Then came the news that she would be recruited to WDSO.

Also, as the general manager of Eclipse, replacing Lee A-young, head of the support division.

“Absolutely not!”

“This is the person who tried to kill the entire operation team two years ago!”

“you’re right. “I brought you here because I knew what you were going to do!”

“Instead of bringing him in, shouldn’t we just hand him over to the police?!”

As expected, the directors showed quite an excited reaction even before they were seated.

“Who on earth put this agenda up?”

“No way… is Kim Jun-woo the team leader this time too?”

“Secretary General, you must act decisively this time!”

Even before I said anything, everyone figured out the culprit.

“…Everyone sit down first.”

Secretary General Park In-beom said that and pressed his forehead.

His voice and expression were quite heavy compared to usual.

Only then did the directors sit down quietly, watching the Secretary General.

At the same time, Secretary General Park In-beom let out a deep sigh.

It’s not that he wasn’t, it was because he wasn’t very pleased with Chloe’s recruitment.

Even he, who has blindly supported everything Kim Jun-woo says, is like this, so the other directors must be appalled.

If it were simply a matter of judging Chloe’s recruitment to WDSO, no matter how much Kim Jun-woo had put on the agenda, he would have flatly rejected it without even bringing it up to the board of directors.

But…

“I have information that Secretary General Wesley… will soon launch an airstrike.”

Secretary General Park In-beom cautiously opened his mouth.

“yes…?”

“What do you mean, an air raid?…”

Then the directors’ eyes narrowed.

Secretary General Park In-beom continued speaking with a quite complicated expression.

“With this Japan branch incident, the International Association is in the worst situation ever. If things continue like this, I might lose control. “They will try to show their full potential in order to maintain their power.”

“Where are you planning an airstrike?”

“Is this really our country?”

“You don’t know that. However…”

Secretary General Park In-beom looked at the directors with sparkling eyes.

“Chloe she knows.”

“…!”

“…!”

At the same time, the directors’ eyes widened.

“As everyone knows, we are at war with the Lions Clubs International. “It is only natural in a war situation to check each other’s growing power and attack in any possible way.”

Secretary General Park In-beom leaned against the backrest and opened his mouth again.

“But as always, our top priority is the safety of our citizens. “If civilians lose their lives due to a power struggle between two organizations… regardless of politics or diplomacy, that alone disqualifies us as an international organization.”

Then he looked at the directors with sharp eyes once again and continued speaking.

“So… air raids must be prevented at all costs.”

“….”

“….”

The directors, who were agitated by that firm remark, also remained silent, sparing any answers.

Air raids must be prevented….

That was a reasonable, uncontroversial story.

In fact, if the embattled International Association carries out an airstrike, there may be massive resistance among countries that are angry about it.

Until now, everyone was just watching because they were afraid of being harmed, but now they will try to fight against the International Association even at the cost of harm.

It is literally a war of death and death.

If countries from each faction unite and launch a fierce offensive until one side collapses… In fact, there is no need for WDSO to be at the forefront.

Each country will lead the war on its own, so all we have to do is provide weapons and insufficient troops from behind.

Daejeon broke out due to an air raid.

An opportunity to fight back with all your might without worrying about what others think.

This would be the easiest and most effective way to destroy the International Association without having to do anything ourselves.

However, if the goal of destroying the International Association for the safety of citizens is achieved at the expense of citizens…

what on earth does that mean?

Are you willing to use any means to achieve your goal?

So what is the difference between us and the International Association?

‘You’re leaving the difficult task to me…’

Secretary General Park In-beom muttered.

It’s very uncomfortable to accept it so quickly, and if we ignore it, we can’t estimate the negative impact it will have in the future.

The directors seemed to be having the same concerns, so everyone was silent and grumbling.

And then.

“By the way. “The information that the Lions Clubs International is going to carry out an airstrike… Is this trustworthy?”

Outside director Ko Byeong-cheol, who had a serious expression on his face, asked vaguely.

Other directors who realized it too late raised their voices.

“Now that I think about it…”

“You don’t really believe what she says, do you?”

“Isn’t it obvious that this is a lie to get on our side!”

Association President Park In-beom had a shocked expression.

Well, it was natural that her information would not be trusted in this situation, but…

“That’s not necessarily true.”

Nevertheless, Secretary General Park In-beom shook his head and said,

“Regardless of the source, if you think about what the International Association has shown so far, isn’t it a story with a lot of potential?”

“That’s right, but…”

“…Maybe not.”

“Yeah, maybe not. Maybe not…”

Secretary General Park In-beom paused for a moment and let out a light sigh.

An expression that makes you wonder if you really need to say this in words.

Finally, he spoke slowly.

“If even just one possibility is true, what are you going to do then?”

“That…”

“….”

“Of course I understand what you are saying. “Not investing in an uncertain future and trying to avoid losses as much as possible is a necessary mindset for a businessman, but unfortunately, we are no longer businessmen, are we?”

The directors seemed to have nothing more to say after Secretary General Park In-beom’s words.

okay.

Karma Corporation, which was a private subjugation company, no longer exists.

Currently, WDSO is clearly an international organization.

An organization in which it is more important to prepare for contingencies, even if it means taking losses, rather than making a sure investment for profit.

So… now you have to make a choice.

However, Secretary General Park In-beom was still troubled.

In the end, I couldn’t make a decision easily and quietly asked Director Lee Du-sik.

“What do you think?”

“If you think about it with common sense, recruiting is of course nonsense. “There may be someone else out there, and if the circumstances arise, I may betray you again.”

“That’s right…”

“So…”

Director Lee Doo-sik then spoke quietly.

“How about making it a condition to work on the cleaning team for a month?”

“….”

Secretary General Park In-beom held off on answering for a moment.

“Is that a human rehabilitation team?”

I furrowed my eyebrows.

***

WDSO headquarters and three cleaning team offices located in separate buildings.

Chloe and I were waiting for the board meeting to end.

“….”

“….”

I brought them here because they had nowhere else to go, but since they had nothing to say to each other, they both remained silent.

We had been sitting silently for 30 minutes without saying a word to each other, and the awkward atmosphere was at its peak.

“Tsk, I’m suffocating.”

Finally, she couldn’t bear it anymore and opened her mouth as if she was disapproving.

“Shouldn’t we at least treat them to tea? “Am I not a customer?”

“What about the customer… still don’t understand the situation?”

“Well, I… Well, aside from the hospitality, at least I can wait in a neater place. “Why is it so dirty here?”

“Please stay still. “I brought you here because I thought of you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“If I had waited in the operation team office, I would have been gone before the board meeting ended.”

The person who tried to kill them two years ago has appeared before their eyes, and there is no way the energetic hunters will remain silent.

Chloe also seemed to have finally understood what I meant and stopped complaining.

But even for a moment.

“But why are they having a meeting among themselves without me? “It would be faster in some way if you asked me.”

This time, I tried my luck with another story.

“Isn’t this saying that I can’t believe a word you say?”

“…Ha, it’s so absurd, really.”

“Since you’ve come this far, at least pretend to reflect. “There is no one here who would welcome you.”

When I responded coldly, she clicked her tongue and crossed her arms.

Tsk, I can’t even find a trace of reflection.

“Anyway…”

This time I spoke first.

“Do you want to negotiate when civilian lives are at stake? “Can’t you just tell us the area where air raids are expected?”

“That’s my life? “I’m afraid that if I tell you, I’ll throw it away right away.”

“Oh….”

Are you very perceptive?

“I stabbed the International Association in the back. If you don’t get into WDSO, it’s not a joke, you’ll really die? “I have to have a weapon to protect myself.”

“….”

I nodded, savoring my appetite.

Okay…

Actually, she’s right this time.

You might die, so you can’t just play cards.

“Anyway, I don’t know what decision the board of directors will make. “I wanted to at least try to persuade them… but they didn’t even listen to me because the agenda was just an agenda.”

“Weren’t you the representative?”

“Can’t you see the mess in the office now? “Do you still think I’m the representative?”

“…They say that going up is difficult, but falling is only a moment.”

She clicked her tongue and muttered.

I seriously thought about hitting just one.

I clenched my fists and decided to endure it as hard as I could.

“In any case, the decision is entirely up to the board of directors. “There’s nothing I can do about it, so just accept it even if it doesn’t work out.”

“….”

She looked at me quietly for a moment, then covered her face with both hands.

“Sobbing. “I’m just trying to throw it away… sob….”

“If you pretend to cry one more time, I’ll call you a recruiter and pretend it never happened.”

When I spoke with sincere contempt, she raised one corner of her mouth and shrugged her shoulders.

‘Oh, I’m so pissed…’

She really is a damn woman.

At that time, I was gritting my teeth and holding back my anger at Chloe’s continued provocations.

Suddenly-.

Director Lee Du-sik came into the office.

“Are you finished?”

“Oh yeah.”

Director Lee Du-sik glanced at Chloe and answered dryly.

“What happened?”

“First of all… we have decided to allow recruitment.”

“okay.”

The moment I nodded my head.

Clap clap clap-.

I turned my head to the unexpected applause and saw Chloe sitting behind me, smiling and clapping her hands.

I probably couldn’t have understood it, but I guess I could guess it from the atmosphere.

‘Ha…’

You’re a master at making people angry.

I can’t even hit him once, really.

I tried my best to ignore her and opened my mouth again.

“Anyway, how did you persuade the directors? “The backlash must have been enormous.”

“Instead of giving permission, I put one condition on it.”

“What are the conditions?”

When I asked, Director Lee Du-sik raised his eyebrows and answered.

“The condition is to work in the cleaning team for a month.”

“….”

And my eyes sparkled at the answer.

“…What about the team in charge?”

“Team 3.”

“What are the labor standards?”

“Where can I find something like that? I haven’t even gotten my visa yet.”

“It’s perfect.”

Without realizing it, I smiled.

Without question, Director Lee Du-sik and I turned our gaze towards Chloe and raised the corners of our mouths.

“…?”

Of course, she had no idea what was going on.

Nevertheless, his expression was becoming increasingly hard, as if he sensed an uneasy feeling somewhere.
