“….”
WDSO Headquarters, Republic of Korea.
Director Ha Seong-il’s office.
For a moment, President Ha Mi-yeon made a bewildered expression as the phone call was unilaterally hung up.
“I did everything I could. “I don’t know if they will listen.”
He looked at General Manager Ha Seong-il next to him and opened his mouth.
Director Ha Seong-il looked like he was guilty of high treason.
He opened his mouth quietly, avoiding President Ha Mi-yeon’s gaze, as if he knew his mistake better than anyone else.
“…thank you.”
“Tsk, you foolish gomtaeng. If this was going to happen, you should have said it from the beginning. “Why make things more complicated!”
“I told you.”
“…?”
President Ha Mi-yeon’s eyebrows twitched.
Then, Director Ha Seong-il looked straight at her and spoke.
“But you didn’t listen to everything and just kept saying no.”
“….”
Only then did vague memories appear in President Ha Mi-yeon’s mind.
I’m sure I’ve heard about what’s going on in Germany and what the WDSO situation is like…
“…I thought you were talking about something useless again. “I was very busy.”
She said with an embarrassed face.
But that was only for a moment.
“Anyway, how can you steal a contract? “It must have been in the legal department’s safe. How do you know the password?”
“I just went in and said my sister asked me to bring it, so she gave it to me?”
“….”
President Ha Mi-yeon blinked several times and gestured toward the secretary behind her.
“Secretary Kim, tell the entire legal team to write a statement within today.”
“…I understand, boss.”
Right after that.
“So…”
she continued again.
“Is the Lions Clubs International really invading Germany?”
“According to our information, yes.”
“Hmm…”
President Ha Mi-yeon’s expression became quite serious.
He immediately said with an expression that there was nothing he could do.
“Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“…help me?”
“If I didn’t know, I didn’t know. I can’t pretend not to know since it was in my ears.”
“But… my sister’s company is the flagship business of Hanbyul Group. What would my grandfather say if he found out?”
“Really, I still don’t know your grandfather’s personality. “In fact, you’re probably going crazy and asking what I’m doing if you still haven’t helped me.”
“…I guess so.”
Director Ha Seong-il nodded slightly.
Then he opened his mouth with a confused expression.
“But as of now, there is nothing we can do. For now, let’s watch the situation…”
And then.
“Director Ha!”
Kim Min-ju, head of operations, suddenly burst into the office.
“The International Association is advancing beyond the German border!”
“yes…?”
“…!”
We have brought you news that there is no time to watch the situation any longer.
“It has been confirmed that we crossed the border three hours ago, but the advance is so fast that if things continue at this rate, we will reach Berlin in two days!”
“What about Team Leader Ki Kim? Can I contact you?!”
“no. “I think your belongings were confiscated when you were arrested.”
“….”
Director Ha Seong-il frowned and blamed himself.
It happened because of his mistake.
“Germany will also hurriedly begin preparations… but it will not be enough. But we can’t just recklessly provide support without permission…”
“Team Leader Kim has also lost contact…”
“Should we just wait for the teacher to do something?”
Kim Min-ju expressed his opinion carefully.
However, Director Ha Seong-il did not think even that would be the answer.
Of course, Kim Jun-woo will somehow find a solution even in this situation.
But… there is too little time for that.
In the current situation, Team Leader Kim Jun-woo is no different from being stranded in Berlin.
If you were detained in the first place, you may not know about the current situation.
Two days are too short from release to understanding the situation and persuading the German Association to send support.
If only we could slow down the advance even just a little…
“Can you tell how far the International Association has advanced now?”
At that time, CEO Ha Mi-yeon suddenly asked Kim Min-ju.
“Our control team says it has reached Stuttgart.”
“Stuttgart…”
She stroked her chin for a moment before taking out her cell phone.
“Ah, branch manager. “This is Ha Mi-yeon.”
“Yes, I heard. So…”
“How much demolition dynamite is there right now?”
I contacted you somewhere.
***
Berlin, Germany.
As soon as we escaped from the detention center and came out, what caught our eyes was the city center that was already in chaos.
The sound of sirens echoing throughout the street.
A road clogged with hundreds of vehicles.
Citizens panicking and searching for their families.
“The air raid… has begun.”
You can be sure without having to check.
The International Association must have crossed the German border.
‘Damn, I never thought it would start so quickly…’
I haven’t prepared anything yet…
“Chloe, how long do you think it would take if the Lions Clubs International Association were to advance to Berlin now?”
Chloe’s face had suddenly become very serious.
“If we advance the shortest distance without a major battle… we will arrive in two days.”
“It’s too fast…”
“Of course, if we gather all of the German troops and block them as much as possible, we could last until the 5th, but in the current situation, it won’t be easy to gather the troops in one place.”
“Then do you think you can persuade the German Association to send reinforcements within two days?”
“It’s absolutely impossible.”
“One way or another, the advance cannot be stopped.”
“of course. “How can ordinary troops stop an army made up of people with special abilities?”
It’s a big deal.
“Then… shouldn’t we, at least on our own, request support from headquarters?”
Director Lee Ah-young asked, trying hard to hide his trembling voice.
“We haven’t received any permission, so there’s no way we can send support as we please.”
“Then what should I do…?”
“First of all, we need to deploy at least an operational team belonging to the German Association.”
“That means….”
“Let’s go to the German Association.”
We immediately started walking against the crowds leaving the city.
The association had difficulty arriving through the congested roads.
When I entered the building, it was a mess just like the outside.
“hey! “Where is the president of the association right now?”
I grabbed one of the busy employees and asked.
But he nervously slapped my hand away and raised his voice.
“what! Can’t you see it’s an emergency now?! “Don’t stay here, evacuate immediately!”
“This is Kim Jun-woo, leader of Cleaning Team 3 at WDSO Seoul Headquarters. “I need to see the president of the association right now!”
“WDSO…?”
It was only after I revealed my affiliation that the staff focused on me.
For a moment, make a complicated expression as if you are thinking about something.
“Follow me.”
He immediately guided us somewhere.
After taking the elevator to the top floor, I opened the door to an office.
“…There’s no way regular troops can stop it when they’re bringing in someone with supernormal abilities! We also need permission to deploy the operation team to the front line!”
A middle-aged woman was screaming into the phone.
“What a damn principle! It’s a wartime situation right now! Don’t make unnecessary sacrifices…! hello? hello! “Holy shit!!”
bang-!
As if something wasn’t going well, he threw the phone away.
He seemed angry all the way to the top of his head.
The employee who brought us to that situation cautiously opened his mouth.
“Um… Association President Amelie…”
“What? Why did you come up here! “I told you to put the operations team on standby!”
“We are preparing now.”
“What are those humans?!”
Only then did her eyes land on us.
“This is Team Leader Kim Jun-woo from the WDSO Seoul Headquarters.”
I took a step closer to her and announced my affiliation.
At the same time, her eyebrows narrowed significantly.
“WDSO? How did WDSO get in here? “You won’t even be able to enter the country?”
“Well… I did some tricks.”
“No, more than that, why are you here? Could it be that you carried out an airstrike…!”
“Calm down. “It was not our fault.”
To calm her down as she was extremely excited, I spoke in a calm voice.
“WDSO had information that the Lions Clubs International was planning an airstrike against Germany. “I wanted to inform you of the situation somehow, but I couldn’t contact the German association, so I came here in person.”
“what…?”
At those words, Association President Amelie’s eyebrows twitched.
“How did WDSO know that?”
“That’s…”
At that question, I looked back and at the same time, Chloe stepped in front of me.
“This is the information I gave you. “As a former member of the International Association, I knew about this and that situation.”
“…formerly affiliated with the International Association?”
“yes.”
“under! “I don’t know what’s going on…”
Association President Amelie muttered and looked at us in turn.
He looks like he doesn’t know how to accept this situation.
For a moment, I kept swearing with that frustrated face.
“so? “The air raid has already begun, so why did you come to see me?”
Finally, she asked the most important question.
“As you know, regular troops cannot stop the International Association. All operations teams must be available immediately…”
“Who doesn’t know that? But there is no permission from above! “They say you can’t break the law that says people with special abilities cannot be deployed as combat troops in wartime!”
Are you sticking to the rules even in situations like this?
‘Still, there’s something strange…’
No matter how stubborn you are, there’s no way it would come out like this.
Are you really trying to follow the rules?
Or is there another reason?
As I was thinking about that, Association President Amelie spoke again.
“To begin with, our operation team doesn’t have many people! There are 60,000 confirmed troops over there, but even if we gather them all, there are less than 20,000. Plus, we don’t have enough equipment…!”
“Don’t worry, we will support you with any shortage of personnel and equipment.”
“what…?”
I finally got to the point.
“They say they will dispatch an operations team from WDSO headquarters. I dare say, I am proud to say that it is the world’s best power. “It will definitely be able to prevent air raids.”
“….”
Association President Amelie’s eyes wavered.
“…There will be no permission. I don’t know if you know, but we have now completely suspended all exchanges with other countries…”
“That is the government’s position.”
“…what?”
“The request to dispatch an operation team is entirely within the authority of the president of the association. “There is no need to worry about the government. As long as the president of the association gives permission, that’s all.”
“Well, if I do that, I’ll be called to a war crimes trial later, right?”
“I guess so. Well, that is ultimately the association president’s choice.”
I looked straight at the president of the association and continued speaking.
“Will you protect Germany and take responsibility for it, or will your country be completely taken away?”
“….”
Look at me for a moment.
“…Are you sure you can stop it?”
she asked.
“I can assure you.”
I answered firmly.
