“What is the point of controlling the international community and citizens like that?”
Long Island, New York.
A question asked by branch manager Michael, who was confronting the Lions Clubs International military in front of the New York branch building.
“….”
I could see Secretary General Wesley’s expression slowly hardening at that fundamental question.
At the same time, the corners of Branch Manager Michael’s mouth rose.
“Look. “You don’t know either.”
“….”
“You also eventually lost your purpose and were eaten by your goal. So I don’t want to join in on this behavior that even you don’t know the meaning of.”
Branch Manager Michael spoke emphatically.
The city center is already in chaos.
A branch that is a candle in the wind.
The troops were already at their limit, and even if they could hold out, they would only last for an hour.
No matter how you look at it, it was not a situation worth showing courage.
I know that if this place falls, the whole of America will be next.
Next is the international community, which is in chaos, and then the citizens.
So, if you immediately thought about your own life and the lives of your employees… No, even if you declared surrender, saying it was an inevitable choice for the United States and the international community, there would be no one to say anything.
But Branch Manager Michael was adamant.
A principled person.
A single-minded person who does not compromise with foreign powers.
An inflexible and frustrating person.
I also know that such words are circulating among employees.
And I know there are a lot of people who don’t like it.
But in this situation, it was necessary.
The employees also knew this, so they took action before Branch Manager Michael gave instructions.
At this moment, everyone here was an inflexible principled person.
“Well… I understand.”
After looking at their stern expressions, Secretary General Wesley nodded and answered.
“But… actually, what purpose or goal is all that good now?”
He looked directly at Branch Manager Michael and continued speaking.
“We’ve already come too far to turn back.”
“….”
“….”
All the troops guarding the branch kept their mouths shut.
That meant that Secretary General Wesley himself knew that this was meaningless and that he had no intention of stopping.
Everyone prepared to attack again and prepare for the end.
And then.
“Secretary General.”
An employee of the Lions Clubs International Association approached Secretary General Wesley and whispered in a low voice.
“Ready to transmit. Shall we start filming right away?”
“Of course.”
As soon as Secretary General Wesley answered, a camera approached.
The red light on the camera came on and the camera lens began to illuminate the New York branch with Secretary General Wesley.
“Smile if you can. “Because it’s being broadcast all over the world.”
Secretary General Wesley made a joke towards Branch Manager Michael.
It’s time to relax your neck a bit. He once again opened his mouth to the New York branch.
“As Secretary General of the International Hunter Association, I hereby notify the U.S. chapter and all associations worldwide.”
A powerful voice.
“Our International Association aims to re-establish all existing associations. “We will give the remaining associations a choice and give them 24 hours from now.”
“The association, implemented within 24 hours, will not touch anything and promises to ensure safety. However, we hereby notify that any association that does not implement this within time will be subject to enforcement.”
“…!”
“…!”
The eyebrows of the New York branch troops shook greatly at that remark.
This was an ultimatum.
Notification that they would attack if they did not surrender within 24 hours.
It was an official declaration of war targeting the entire world.
“So, what are you going to do, Branch Manager Michael? “Do you want to implement it at the discretion of the branch, or do you just want to see the end here?”
“….”
Secretary General Wesley looked at Branch Manager Michael with a big smile.
At the same time, his expression of agony was clearly revealed.
But even for a moment.
“…eat shit.”
In the end, he made a choice and Secretary General Wesley nodded.
And then the moment Secretary General Wesley turned his back.
bang-!!
The image of the New York branch collapsing was broadcast around the world.
***
“…!”
WDSO Seoul Headquarters.
Secretary General Park In-beom watched the U.S. branch fly in real time from his office.
‘Something happened…’
Soon his fists began to shake.
Now, it was absurd to talk nonsense about it being optional and self-enforcing, but I never thought they would blow up the American branch and broadcast it live to the whole world.
‘You used your head…’
If this were to happen, it was very obvious how the associations in each country would turn out.
United States of America.
It is the self-proclaimed most powerful country and, excluding the subjugation industry, still exerts the greatest influence on the international community, including in the military and economy.
Everyone witnessed how such a country collapsed helplessly, unable to even use its power against those who invaded it.
Now only one thought will be stuck in the minds of all nations.
‘It is suicidal to stand against the International Association when even the United States has collapsed.’
The International Association probably also intentionally broadcast this to instill fear and fear.
Now that things have come to this point, there is no association attached to WDSO.
Everyone will probably be transferred to the International Association within 24 hours.
‘What is 24 hours….’
12 hours would have been enough.
WDSO was not in a position to respond to the international association through our own efforts.
The trust that has been shown to the public so far.
Ties with associations in each country.
Based on that, many people believed in us and followed us.
The reason they did not retreat from this war was because they were confident that they would never fall easily as long as they were there.
But…
“Secretary General Sa! “The Chinese Association has declared surrender!”
“already…?”
“Not only that! “Most associations in South America are quickly becoming international associations!”
“Damn it…”
If this happens, it will be WDSO that has to deal with the whole world.
Association President Park In-beom clenched his fists.
Not yet.
Not all associations have left WDSO yet.
I don’t know about other people, but if only I could get hold of the Japanese and Vietnamese associations that maintain the most intimate relationship…
Ring ring -.
At that moment, Secretary General Park In-beom’s cell phone rang.
He answered the phone cautiously.
“Secretary General, this is Huynh.”
The voice of the head of the Vietnam branch was heard.
“Did you watch the broadcast?”
“…I did.”
Branch Manager Huin hesitated for a moment before cautiously opening his mouth.
“As you know, Secretary General, even the United States has collapsed. The international community will probably rush to declare surrender. If that happens, WDSO will have the whole world as its enemy.”
“….”
“So… I consulted with Branch Manager Haramura of the Japan branch, and I guess…” At
that moment, Huin trailed off. .
At the same time, Association President Park In-beom swallowed his saliva.
An ominous feeling began to creep in.
‘Junwoo, you’re in big trouble…’
A situation where there is absolutely no answer.
Now, only the worst future is pictured in Secretary General Park In-beom’s mind.
In this situation, the only person I can trust is Kim Jun-woo.
I can only hope that he somehow finds a way.
***
“…There is no hope.”
My voice was heard softly inside the Hanbyeol Trading ship.
Although something unexpected happened, I was in a hurry to head to New York when I received bad news again.
The news that the New York branch had collapsed.
“Ha, but it’s not over yet, is it?”
“That’s right, there must be a way! If you give up already….”
“The scene of the branch collapsing was broadcast in real time. There is nothing you can do once you get to New York. Moreover, as this situation spreads around the world, countries will rush to declare surrender.”
I answered firmly, interrupting Kim Min-ju and Han Yu-bin.
It’s not that it wasn’t, the broadcasting around the world was a very planned action.
A kind of performance to show that even the last line of defense to protect you has collapsed.
“If this happens, we will now be the ones left isolated. “We came this far because of trust and relationships, and if we lose those… there’s no hope.”
“….”
“….”
A shadow fell on the faces of all the general managers who were listening to me.
But even for a moment.
“So… what do we do now?”
Minju Kim asked me for a way, as if she couldn’t give up just yet.
but.
“I want to ask. “What on earth should I do?”
I smiled bitterly and spat out those words.
After saying that, I closed my mouth for a moment and got lost in thought.
Our plan was to arrive in New York before it was too late and somehow prevent the air raid before all of the Lions Clubs International forces could gather.
If at least the United States could prevent the attack, it could give at least some hope to each country.
And I planned to build a foundation for a counterattack from that small hope.
But now it has all become meaningless.
Rather than preventing the air raid, even the possibility of a counterattack disappeared.
‘Haa…’
Soon, a sigh escaped me without my knowledge.
Is it no longer possible?
Those thoughts began to dominate my mind.
To be honest, ever since I regressed, I have only wanted to go back.
What happened to anyone here didn’t really concern me, and in fact, I didn’t really care.
But not anymore.
It has already been more than three years since I returned.
Now I couldn’t leave this situation alone, leaving me alone.
Because too much has happened to ignore it now.
So, I gave up all the opportunities I had to become Secretary General…
‘I never thought it would end up like this…’
My eyes turned into space.
At the same time, a deep sense of skepticism arose from deep inside.
It was not so much the fact that the opportunity to return was gone, but the fact that I failed even though I tried to resolve it, even giving up the opportunity.
And then.
“Team leader… We’ll be arriving at the port soon.”
A radio rang in the captain’s cabin announcing the arrival.
“Shall we prepare for anchorage? Or… should we turn back? ”
“…”
But I couldn’t answer that simple question hastily.
That’s because the captain’s question sounded completely different to me.
‘It would be right to retreat…’
That was the moment when that thought occurred to me.
puck-!
“…?”
Out of nowhere, a fist flew into my shoulder.
I turned my head to see someone.
“We haven’t done anything yet!”
“….”
It was Director Lee Ah-young.
He was glaring at me with his eyes focused.
But it wasn’t just her.
“To be honest, I think anything will work out if I’m with the team leader. ha ha ha!”
“Something was a little out of sync… “I don’t really think it’s over.”
Director Ha Seong-il and Han Yu-bin also added a word.
and.
“If the operation team retreats even though we are the only ones left in the dungeon, who will catch the monsters and protect the citizens?”
Finally, Minjoo Kim opened his mouth.
“Someone has to do it. “If we don’t do it, who will?”
“…Even if I say that to the janitor, it doesn’t really make any sense.”
When I made a joke, she smiled slightly.
But even for a moment.
“I’m telling you now… When the teacher first said he would raise the position of the cleaning team, everyone thought it was ridiculous.”
She continued speaking in a very serious voice.
“But the teacher didn’t think anything of it. “It was as if it was a natural thing. And actually, after a while, it really became a natural thing.”
“….”
“Perhaps people will think this way after a year?”
Then he looked straight into my eyes and said.
“It was a natural thing for Kim Jun-woo.”
“…under.”
At the same time, laughter broke out.
I avoided eye contact without realizing it.
It’s not that it’s not, but isn’t it too much to float it?
I’m so embarrassed that I can’t say anything.
‘But still…’
I waited for a moment for a smile to form on my face.
Soon he picked up the walkie-talkie and slowly opened his mouth.
“…Let’s dock.”
As soon as those words were spoken, all the headquarters heads nodded.
Soon enough, the ship stopped and we moved slowly with stiff faces.
As soon as we entered the port, what greeted us was the sight of New York already in ruins…
“I was waiting.”
It was Secretary General Wesley who was waiting for us at the port with a smile.
