355. Side Story After Episode 12
“Chairman of the Association.”
American Association located on Long Island, New York.
After entering President Tom’s office, Secretary Joseph cautiously called out to him.
“It is said that the president of this association has just arrived at the airport. “The business department staff said they were picking it up, so they should arrive in about 30 minutes.”
“…You came quickly. “What about the closure of Area F?”
“I took care of it. Managers are also currently returning to their respective positions.”
“good.”
Association President Tom nodded, lowered his voice once, and continued speaking.
“From now on, we know nothing and have nothing. “As long as you don’t do anything suspicious, there won’t be any problems, so just behave yourself.”
“By the way…”
Joseph’s secretary said something else instead of answering.
“According to reports from business department employees, not only Association President Lee Ah-young came… but Division Director Han Yu-bin also came.”
“…what?”
At that moment, Chairman Tom’s eyebrows twitched.
“If it’s Han Yu-bin… could it be that he was our operations team leader…?”
“you’re right.”
“Why is that person here?”
“I think he came to serve as an assistant to the president of this association… but I’m not sure.”
“Use…”
Chairman Tom made an expression of obvious difficulty.
As expected, the American Association and Han Yu-bin had a very deep relationship.
The worst corruption in the American Association committed by Jason, the head of the control team.
The incident in which a Filipino hunter died because of his slush funds.
Of course, he had nothing to do with the incident, and since all the people involved in the incident were punished in the first place, Han Yu-bin also does not have as much ill will towards the American Association as before… ‘But that person will not be treated kindly
. …’
Association President Tom, who knew her personality, still couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Above all, wasn’t he the person who rose to the position of head of the operations team at the American Association?
He is a person who knows the internal circumstances of the American Association better than anyone else in the Korean Association.
‘To accompany such a person…’
It’s not something trivial like being an assistant to the president of an association.
It is certainly.
They smelled something.
There is no reason to bring that person with him unless it means arresting the number of cases here.
“First of all, act as usual… and attach someone to Han Yu-bin’s side.”
“Are you talking about people?”
“Unless you know her purpose, you don’t know where she will do anything. Manage them as closely as possible so that they are not noticed. And distance yourself from this association president as much as possible.”
“…All right.”
“If there is anything suspicious, report it immediately.”
Secretary Joseph nodded.
As he finally left the office, President Tom took a deep breath.
Currently, WDSO has begun full-scale preparations to put an end to the alienation dimension incident.
The Korean Association is already attempting to adjust the amount of dungeon appearances starting this week, and top associations around the world will also gradually reduce the number of raids accordingly.
And WDSO is building all the replacement infrastructure for this from above.
WDSO is playing a pioneering and savior role that is significantly different from previous international associations.
Looking at that alone, who would dare to criticize WDSO’s actions?
They say they will put an end to the alienation crisis that has thrown the world into chaos for over 50 years, and that they will even manage the industries that will replace the subjugation of each country. That is not the problem. The real problem is…. ‘What happens next…. ‘
If all the infrastructure is built under the leadership of WDSO and the Immune Dimension incident ends, as it is now, Korea will become the center of the international community.
Dungeon Abilities Subjugation… Even after all that is gone, WDSO and Korea will continue to exert influence around the world, and all industries around the world will be in their hands.
Of course, if that happens, the United States will no longer have any authority.
Of course, from the government’s point of view, this is a very difficult situation. No, beyond being annoying, you probably want to avoid the United States being removed from its throne at all costs.
Accordingly, the majority of US senators and top officials are also demanding a solution to this problem.
So… from now on, it is no longer a matter of subjugation or aggression.
After the Lee Neung incident ends, will the United States be able to take back the influence that Korea and WDSO have?
No, even after the Second World War ends, the United States must maintain its throne as the leader of the world.
To that end, the American Association has used every method possible for nearly a year.
And the end of the preparation was finally in sight.
‘Whoa…’
Chairman Tom leaned heavily on the backrest.
There was tension on his face that couldn’t be hidden.
Along with that, a strange feeling was also blooming.
Feeling a sense of crisis in a small association in Asia was something his pride would not allow.
‘Must…’
So no matter what happens, the project must succeed.

“hello. “This is Lee A-young.”
President Tom’s office.
Association Chairman Lee A-young met Chairman Tom alone and asked to shake his hand.
“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far. “This is Thomas Downey.”
Association President Tom also stood up and shook hands with a happy expression.
After a brief greeting, the two sat down facing each other.
President Tom spoke first.
“Anyway, what is the president of this association doing here? “If you come all the way to the U.S. without telling me… I think it’s a pretty big deal.”
“No, it’s not that serious…”
Association President Lee Ah-young continued with a slight smile.
“I have something I would like to ask of Association President Tom.”
“…Please?”
“As you know, we are in the process of downsizing the subjugation industry. “For the most part, things are going well without any problems… but I am concerned about a few weak countries.”
His eyebrows twitched at the words of Association President Lee A-young.
“What do you mean, it bothers you?”
“It means that subjugation plays a very large role in national industry. No matter how much we have to resolve the alienation situation, we cannot forcibly dismantle national projects. However, if it is forcibly reduced, it could easily turn into a big problem.”
“Ah… Well, I understand that.”
“Above all, since it is a weak country, it is highly dependent on subjugation, but its subjugation capabilities are not very good.”
“You are saying that in the current situation, we cannot stop the subjugation, nor can we continue to wait.”
“that’s right.”
Lee Ah-young took a breath and continued speaking.
“Secretary General Kim Jun-woo and I believe that a third party must intervene to resolve this problem. “Someone has to provide industrial infrastructure to replace subjugation, reduce the proportion of subjugation industries, and in the process, someone else has to subdue them on their behalf.”
“I understand what you’re saying, but what does that have to do with what came to us…?”
“So we are trying to unite associations in countries that are in similar situations. The purpose is to lower the proportion of subjugation by subjugating weak countries on their behalf. And that integrated association….”
Lee Ah-young looked at Association President Tom for a moment.
And then he carefully got to the point.
“I hope the American Association will take over.”
“….”
Lee Ah-young quietly looked at Association President Tom.
Seeing that he wasn’t as surprised as I expected, it seemed like he had already expected the topic to be brought up during the conversation.
Of course, it is right to give time to think here, but Lee Ah-young, who became impatient for no reason, added a few additional words.
“Of course, I know that it is not a pleasant proposal from the American association’s perspective. But in order to end this situation as quickly as possible…”
“…I understand.”
And then, an answer was heard that made Lee Ah-young doubt her ears.
“…yes?”
“As an integrated association, we will take charge of the process.”
I asked back, wondering if it would be possible, but the answer was still without any hesitation.
Lee Ah-young looked dumbfounded for a moment and did not answer.
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a story that could be accepted so willingly.
The American Association is also in the process of reducing its subjugation.
Asking them to carry out a subjugation on behalf of another country now was no different from ignoring their current position.
So, I thought that of course Kim Jun-woo would refuse as well, so I brought Han Yu-bin along to come up with a solution.
But to accept it so easily?
‘It’s strange…’
Lee Ah-young kept her mouth shut and looked at Association President Tom for a moment.
“Thank you for willingly accepting.”
Without saying anything else, I just expressed my gratitude with a light smile.
At the same time, Chairman Tom nodded and answered.
“It’s for the good of humanity, so there’s no reason to worry.”
“…We are relieved that you think so.”
Association President Lee A-young said that and stood up.
“I will deliver the detailed business plan tomorrow. “I’ve just arrived, so I think I should get some rest today.”
“Sure. “Speak to my secretary and she will guide you to your hotel.”
“Let’s do that. Then…”
Lee Ah-young left those words behind and hurried out of the office as if she had urgent business to attend to.
“Why did you come out so quickly?”
Han Yu-bin, who was waiting outside, followed with a puzzled expression.
“I accepted.”
“…yes?”
Lee Ah-young answered without making eye contact, as if something was going on in her mind.
“They said they accepted the integrated association.”
“…Didn’t you say you were going to refuse?”
“I did.”
Lee Ah-young’s calm voice.
But Han Yu-bin, who had no idea what that meant, shrugged her shoulders and said.
“Well, anyway, I’m glad things worked out well…”
And then Han Yu-bin stopped talking.
This was because Lee Ah-young’s expression caught my eye.
There wasn’t even a trace of relief on his face.
“…is there something there?”
When Han Yu-bin asked cautiously, Lee A-young answered with a cold expression.
“The corners of his mouth went up.”
“…the corners of your mouth?”
“He definitely looked nervous until I came in. “As soon as I asked him to take charge of the integrated association, the corners of his mouth went up.”
Nevertheless, Yubin Han responded that she did not understand.
Only then did Lee Ah-young look straight at Han Yu-bin and add an explanation.
“There are only two situations where you can have that reaction. “I think President Tom sincerely wanted to help a weak country…”
She then continued cautiously.
“I was relieved because it wasn’t what I thought.”
“….”
“Which side do you think Yubin is?”
Han Yu-bin hesitated to answer for a moment.
Of course, it wasn’t to worry about the answer to the question.
It’s just…
“It’s obvious.”
Because it was an obvious question that didn’t need to be answered.
Lee Ah-young also nodded as if he agreed with her answer.
“These bastards… they’re hiding something.”
“Not once or twice.”
“Now that things are like this, I think Yubin needs to make a move.”
In response to Association President Lee Ah-young’s words, Han Yu-bin let out a secret laugh instead of answering.
“Let’s see what you’re hiding.”
Lee Ah-young smiled coldly.
