“What?”
Hanbyul Electronics headquarters.
Chairman Ha Deok-soo’s eyes, who were negotiating with his grandson, suddenly became sharp.
“Change? “Is that what you just said to me?”
Chairman Ha Deok-soo’s voice has changed dramatically.
Director Ha Seong-il flinched for a moment, but that was only for a moment.
He opened his mouth again, looking straight at Chairman Ha Deok-soo with a straight posture.
“Haven’t you always talked about a company’s qualifications and responsibilities? “It was my grandfather who said that we are both businessmen and citizens, and that we must fulfill that role.”
“….”
“Grandpa, who was like that, now says he won’t move because there is no benefit.”
He continued speaking while glaring straight at Chairman Ha Deok-soo.
“I don’t need a company that has the ability to help, but turns a blind eye and grows bigger for its own gain.”
“….”
“Still, if you don’t give up your will… I will withdraw my intention to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps. sorry.”
Director Ha Seong-il bowed deeply towards him.
Looking at that, Chairman Ha Deok-soo fell silent for a moment.
Ha Seong-il.
His youngest grandson and his favorite child.
Unlike the other grandchildren, who were educated strictly through elite courses from an early age, no support was provided to him at all.
I was hoping that it was Ha Seong-il, a person and not a chaebol.
Fortunately, Ha Seong-il also did not have a great desire for position or money.
Ha Seong-il was just a kid who liked to hang out with people.
Chairman Ha Deok-soo himself also planned to hand over the company to his eldest son, Ha Seong-tae, or his sister, Ha Mi-yeon.
But it also wasn’t as easy as I thought.
My sister had a kind heart, but was too emotional and couldn’t be decisive. He was smart and rational, but he didn’t hesitate to do anything to achieve his goals.
The reason was that neither of them were satisfied with Chairman Ha Deok-soo.
Only after Ha Seong-il became an adult did efforts belatedly be made to raise him as a successor.
In the process, I learned that Ha Seong-il had all of his brothers’ strengths, but in fact, he had different talents.
eye.
He had eyes for people.
To that extent, he was far superior to his brother and sister… or even himself, who founded Hanbyul Group.
If he had those eyes and could make that person his colleague, he was talented enough to entrust him with Hanbyul Group.
However, the problem was that Ha Seong-il himself had no greed.
He is someone who simply prefers working with people rather than leading an organization from above.
Whenever the topic of handing over management rights came up, he would always sneak away.
No matter how you look at it, he was the most qualified person, but you couldn’t force him unless he wanted to.
So, he half gave up and tried to hand over the position to his sister Ha Mi-yeon…
But one day, his thoughts suddenly changed.
Because of none other than Kim Jun-woo.
After working with him a few times, it seemed like a switch was turned on.
That guy, whose goal was to lead a normal corporate life, has now proudly declared that he will take over my position.
WDSO… no, it was for this purpose that I joined Karma Corporation.
I learned from Kim Jun-woo that the head of an organization can go together with the members of the organization rather than just controlling subordinates.
That was something that even my grandfather himself could not do.
And oh my…
‘I’m satisfied.’
I passed the passing line.
“Then I’ll just pretend it never happened and go back.”
Director Ha Seong-il said his greetings and then turned his back.
Just as I was about to leave the office.
“I will establish it.”
Chairman Ha Deok-soo spit those words into his back.
“…yes?”
“I will establish a relief foundation.”
“Are you sure?”
When asked with surprised eyes, Chairman Ha Deok-soo sighed and said.
“I’m a lot older too. “Other people would already be retired and go out to play golf, but what are you doing, still stuck at work?”
“….”
“I was already thinking of handing over the position to you. But that doesn’t mean you can let someone who isn’t prepared sit there.”
I hope that Director Ha Seong-il is dumbfounded by this unexpected story for a moment.
Eventually, his eyes got bigger and bigger.
“No way, Grandpa….”
“Yes, I passed.”
Chairman Ha Deok-soo stood up.
“Well, there are still a lot of procedures left before the official handover, but I’ll take care of that.”
I extended my hand to General Manager Ha Seong-il.
“Please take good care of Hanbyeol Group from now on.”
I quietly shook his hand.
Director Ha Seong-il looked at his old hands.
And then.
“For now… I will resolve this situation first and then come back to you.”
Instead of shaking hands, he bowed again and said those words.
“…ha ha ha! “Yes, do it.”
Chairman Ha Deok-soo burst into laughter as if he had been hit again by an unexpected reaction.
Soon, Director Ha Seong-il left the office at a brisk pace.
Chairman Ha Deok-soo smiled slightly as he looked at his back.

“I lost contact with the New York branch.”
14 ships carrying all of Korea’s personnel, including WDSO, heading to New York.
Among them, on the ship we were on, Director Lee Ah-young cautiously opened his mouth.
“I think my defense failed. There was almost no manpower to begin with…”
“Sigh…”
“The control team has now checked the skies over New York via satellite, and they say it is completely devastated.”
At that report, I let out a deep sigh.
It was something I had expected to some extent, but when it actually happened, I had quite mixed feelings.
“How is the U.S. Department of Defense responding?”
“It looks like he has entered a battle stance right away, but he probably won’t be an opponent…”
That’s only natural.
They throw fire with their hands, spit poison from their mouths, and fly at the speed of sound.
Fighter planes and tanks are nothing more than moving targets.
It may be hopeless, but no response will be possible with regular troops.
‘We have to go quickly…’
There are still eight hours left until we arrive.
A breathtaking time.
If you are even one hour late, there is no turning back.
But that wasn’t the only bad news.
「Team Leader T!」
A radio call came from the control team that was continuously observing the situation in real time.
“It is said that 12 ships currently sailing in the Atlantic Ocean were hit by air raids and sank!”
“…Yes?”
At that news, I started to feel dazed for a moment, as if I had been hit on the head.
“After checking, it appears to be a ship with New York branch troops on board! I think the information that the branch troops are moving has reached the ears of the International Association…”
“Damn it…”
My eyes tightened.
The troops currently dispatched are almost all of the New York branch.
The fact that they were attacked on the sea…
‘Are they going to end it before it even starts…’
The worst situation.
New York was unable to do anything, let alone defend itself, and the branch troops that were in a hurry to return were even subjected to air raids.
If the entire power of the International Association gathers like this, there is no chance of victory.
And above all….
“There are still about 8 hours left until we arrive in New York. Let alone arriving on time, we could be subject to an air attack in the meantime…” “
….”
It’s just as he said.
Even information from the New York branch was leaked.
There is no guarantee that we, currently floating in the open sea, will not be attacked by air raids.
Our current situation is truly defenseless.
If you are raided on a ship with limited position and skill utilization, you have no choice but to be stuck.
“Anyway…”
I cautiously opened my mouth in the place where all the headquarters heads were gathered.
“You’d better not expect to arrive safely.”
“….”
“….”
At the same time, Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin’s expressions hardened.
They also know.
If you are attacked here, there is almost no chance of survival.
A conference room filled with heavy silence.
In the meantime.
“But… you never know. “If the information hadn’t leaked, we would have been able to get there easily.”
Kim Min-ju tried to change the atmosphere by saying positive words.
Of course…
“Well. “It’s a matter of whether it’s too late or too early, so I think airstrikes will be carried out unconditionally.”
I hit the candle at once.
I’m sorry, but the power of positivity and wishful thinking are useless right now.
We must look at reality calmly and thoroughly.
These are the people who gritted their teeth and attacked the United States. Moreover, I even received news that he was being dispatched.
But wouldn’t they know that we are providing support?
‘That can’t be possible.’
You can be sure.
We are always attacked.
“Then what should I do?”
“You know that if we get attacked here, we’ll all die, right?”
Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin asked in dry voices.
That’s the way…
“First of all… we have to be as vigilant as possible.”
I spoke quietly.
“Tell each team leader to prepare for battle right now. “I think we need to build a shield, so please summon all the Guardian classes.”
“yes.”
“all right.”
Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin responded immediately.
But they probably know too.
If there is a real air raid, that alone will never be able to stop it.
‘I might have to prepare myself…’
It was a time when I muttered that to myself without being able to say it out loud.
“An unidentified ship is approaching 2 km behind!”
An urgent radio call rang from the captain’s office.
At the same time, the faces of the headquarters directors became thoughtful.
‘They say even tigers will come if you tell them what to do…’
He muttered that with a smile.
“What are you doing? “Move!”
With that one word, everyone left their seats and ran out of the conference room.
Soon, sirens sounded throughout the ship and battle readiness was conveyed to each team leader.
All the personnel on board followed us onto deck.
As soon as I looked at the horizon, I saw a huge ship vaguely visible in the distance.
But…
“Shall I attack you?”
“Please wait a moment.”
It is not clear whether it is an international association or not.
It could be a passing trade ship.
You have to check it first.
‘….’
I continued to look at the ship without taking my eyes off the horizon.
Soon, a ship slowly approached us.
Everyone on deck watched the ship with bated breath.
Soon the hull came into view.
“…what?”
My eyebrows twitched wildly.
***
“Has confirmed.”
The Istanbul Association’s ship seized by the International Association.
The captain of the huge ship with thousands of hunters on board spoke into the communicator.
“There are 14 vessels belonging to WDSO.”
And the person who received the report was the Secretary-General of the International Hunter Association.
It was Wesley David.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I am sure. “Judging by the fact that there are no troops on deck, it seems like they haven’t spotted us yet.”
The captain said, looking at the 14 ships.
“How do we attack right away?”
“Nothing good will come of wasting time,”
Secretary General Wesley ordered.
“Attack.”
“Start attack.”
The moment the captain’s instructions are delivered.
bang-!
Kwakwang Bang!!
Skills began to pour indiscriminately on the 14 ships.
A surprise attack that started from the open sea.
The WDSO ship allowed the attack to proceed without a proper counterattack, and soon enough.
Coo coo coo!
A total of 14 ships began to sink helplessly.
A limited place called the sea.
No matter how much the hunters can fly and crawl, they can’t use any power here.
As long as the attack is allowed, they will never be able to survive.
“It has been processed.”
Soon the captain reported that the situation was over.
However, Secretary General Wesley did not seem reassured even by that.
“Just in case, don’t withdraw right away. Go closer and check.”
“…I understand.”
The captain answered like that and slowly steered the ship to the sinking point.
All kinds of debris and black oil stains filled the surface of the water.
And in the meantime…
“What…”
“This is something strange…?”
Something strange emerged.
The sailors who checked the scene first continued to look at the shattered ship with puzzled expressions.
The captain, who sensed an unusual atmosphere, also headed straight to the deck and immediately checked the water surface.
It didn’t take long for him to realize something strange, too.
‘What what…?’
14 ships.
The estimated number of troops on board is hundreds of thousands.
But…
“Damn it…”
For some reason, not a single body surfaced on the surface.
