PB Corporation headquarters in Paris, France.

“Director Kim resigned.”

Team leader Mark received unexpected news.

“Eh? suddenly?”

“yes. Looking at the article saying it’s personal reasons, it seems like they don’t want to give a specific reason… Well, I guess…”

“Phew puhahaha!”

He burst out laughing.

“It seems the warning worked.”

He then said with a very satisfied expression.

Involving the branches was risky, but it worked.

Team leader Mark crossed his arms as he thought so.

Well, the Southeast Asian branches weren’t that important anyway. Even if you wanted to withdraw from the association because of this incident, you probably wouldn’t be able to do that considering their status.

In the end, everything is good.

Maybe not to the branch guys.

At that time, the employee opened his mouth with a smile.

“But I’m glad that the thorn in my eyes is gone now.”

“therefore. Now I feel a bit relieved…”

At that moment, Team Leader Mark trailed off with a strange sense of discomfort.

‘No, wait a minute…’

When I think about it, doesn’t it make no sense that an Asian who only worked as a cleaner was a thorn in PB Corporation’s eyes?

Moreover, he is relieved that he, who is clearly the head of the balance adjustment team, did not succeed in killing the thorn in his eyes and walked out on the association on his own.

That in itself was already a huge blow to my pride and a deep sense of defeat.

“…I feel like shit.”

“Well, he wasn’t an ordinary guy. haha.”

“That’s right. “That’s what I don’t understand the most.”

Tsk, Team Leader Mark clicked his tongue.

This is the kind of place where talented people who have been called geniuses since childhood end up leaving after less than five years.

At such a low point, in just 5 months, he appointed the head of the operations headquarters and took control of the Korean association. He blocked a hostile merger and acquisition from our side and took over the Vietnamese association on his own.

Does this really make sense?

Unless you’re living your life twice.

“…done. “He’s already gone, so what can I do if I keep thinking about it?”

He sighed.

However, the employee responded that it was still too early to feel relieved.

“Are you really planning on letting go now? He knows of our existence, so leaving him alone seems a bit…”

“Who said he was leaving us alone?”

Team leader Mark snapped.

“You shouldn’t face a guy like him who risks his life for his colleagues. No, rather, he is the one who wants that. “They are a group of people who think it is better to be in danger alone than to have a colleague in danger.”

“That’s why you resigned in a hurry. “To protect my colleagues.”

“I guess so.”

However, Team Leader Mark continued like this.

“You know. For a guy who is that upright, that is ultimately his weakness. “If you keep holding on to those around you, you’ll eventually end up giving up your own life.”

“Aha…”

The employee made an exaggerated expression of admiration.

“Is there any news from headquarters?”

“They say they are slowly pushing ahead with the integration of punitive powers. “I think I’ll probably move with Team Leader Kane of the recovery team.”

“They’re pretty busy there too.”

“Will it have an impact on our team?”

“It’s not a completely separate project, and there will definitely be times when our team is needed as the work progresses. For now, let’s just keep doing what we’re doing. If you wait, there will be news. “Anyway, what is the sheep doing?”

“I told you to hide for a while. “You will live as if you are dead.”

“Tell them to wait a moment. Because you never know when you’ll have to move again. Oh, and get it straight. “If I fail again this time, I will be found dead in the Han River.”

“…All right.”

“While I was doing this, I also contacted the bank item management team and prepared some banneungseok.”

“…yes?”

The employee’s eyebrows twitched when he heard the word ‘banneungseok’.

That item was only used when working with hunters of S rank or higher.

However, from the employee’s recollection, there was no work above S rank for the time being.

But why all of a sudden….

“Are you really planning on writing it to Kim?…”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t that too much? “No matter how irregular I am, I don’t think it would be enough to even use anti-neungseok.”

“Well…”

Team Leader Makr continued, leaning back against the backrest.

“You never know.”

***

Small one-room.

Since I worked from home after becoming the head of the division, my room was quite cluttered.

I sat across from Director Lee Ah-young, roughly putting away the documents containing the subjugation plan and dungeon information.

‘Tsk, the more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes.’

What kind of person, the head of the support team, decides to join someone else’s business and steal information from the association?

Well, information about other associations was absolutely necessary for branch construction, not just for my business, so I had no reason to refuse.

First of all, before we talk about that.

I said this before getting into the main topic.

“What happened to the time stone research you were doing?”

“Hmm…”

Just looking at the embarrassed expression.

“The lab hasn’t been completed yet and some of the equipment hasn’t arrived….”

“So you’re saying you left the company without making any progress.”

“….”

“Ugh….”

Director Lee Ah-young scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

I hope so for a while.

“But why do you care so much about that? “I didn’t know this when I was the head of the division, but it doesn’t really matter anymore.”

Well, it may certainly look strange to other people.

It is an item that cannot be processed into weapons or other items, but unless it is a related field, not many people will want to spend time and money to research it.

In the first place, it was also an item that I didn’t pay much attention to until I had a hypothesis.

‘Should I tell you this…’

I thought for a moment, but decided it was okay to talk about it now.

“This is just an assumption. “If some bad guys processed that time stone…”

“Isn’t that illegal?”

“No, you said it was a family. Are you going to keep interrupting me?”

“…all right. “Keep talking.”

Big.

After clearing his throat, he spoke again.

“If you process a time stone into a bullet and shoot it at a person… is there a chance that a loop will occur in that person?”

“…?”

He looked like he was saying something stupid.

Well then.

I immediately waved my hand because I thought I had said something pointless.

“It’s done. “I just tried it once, so don’t worry about it…”

“It will work.”

“…yes?”

An unexpected answer came.

“I told you this last time. It seems like the Time Stone loop doesn’t only apply to dungeons. What should I say… To put it simply, it feels like a skill.”

“….”

“So what will happen? “I don’t know what form the loop will take.”

Director Lee Ah-young shrugged his shoulders.

He looked like I was wondering if that was a big deal, but I couldn’t do that.

Even if I were to die or wake up, I wouldn’t know how incredible of a statement I just made.

“But what I’m saying is that it’s theoretically possible. “If you look at it realistically, it’s difficult.”

“Is that so?”

“of course. First of all, processing bank items such as time stones requires reasonable capital and technical skills. Even if it was processed, it would be difficult to fire it with a normal gun. “Maybe it’s Titan.”

Those words gave me even more confidence.

If it is an international association, not to mention capital and technological capabilities.

It was clearly a Titan that stuck in my head.

And at the same time, regression began.

Everything fits together.

Then, there is only one problem left.

“But… Is there any need to go through so much trouble to give the time stone to someone?”

Manager Lee Ah-young suddenly asked a question as if he had the same question at that time.

“…what did you say? “It’s just an assumption.”

Lee A-young pointed out exactly this.

At that time, those guys were determined to kill me.

But if you just wanted to kill him, there would have been plenty of other ways.

At the very least, if I had unlocked all of my special abilities using the Anti-Ability Stone, I would have been able to kill him with regular bullets.

However, if the bullet lodged in my head was really a processed time stone…

would there have been a reason for that?

“Well… I get it roughly. Now let’s get to the point.”

I changed the topic to work.

Now that I think about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

I said, picking up the documents that Director Lee Ah-young brought.

“Anyway, is information about domestic branches really necessary? Honestly, I would like to focus more on overseas associations rather than domestic ones.”

“If you are going to do business with an overseas association, the priority is to build awareness among the domestic association.”

As if she had been waiting, she began to explain.

“You can see it if you look at the documents. Larger branches, such as the Suwon branch, Daejeon branch, and Busan branch, basically have more than 10 cleaning teams.”

“It’s more than I thought. I don’t think it’s ever come this far…”

“Why was there such a fuss when you became the head of the division? “We saw with our own eyes that the cleaning team had a significant impact on performance, so we thought this was the time to create a new branch that had some free time.”

I guess it was at the time when there was a craze for ‘raising cleaning teams’ among branches.

“But anyway, that’s not the branch we’re targeting, right? Just skip it… The next chapter is a list of branches with less than 5 cleaning teams.”

“Hmm.”

I began to skim through the documents with great concentration.

“As you can see, most of them are not in very good financial condition. “There is a shortage of hunters, so we rely a lot on private guilds in general.”

“Isn’t this the level at which headquarters should issue an order?”

“Hunters don’t want to go. First of all, it’s too fat…”

She continued, lowering her voice for no reason.

“I also heard that since they are so close together, there are a lot of things ranging from strange territoriality to absurdity.”

“It’s worth trying not to go.”

“Yes?”

She shrugged her shoulders.

“In any case, there is a limit to the amount of raids per day due to the lack of cleaning teams, and there is no budget to increase the number of cleaning teams. “These are perfect conditions for us to dig into.”

“I see. great. Let’s focus on that area for now… Let’s start by registering a business. “I also need to find a suitable office.”

“It’s going to be busy. “You have to hire employees, go around branches, and get contracts… Oh, you also have to make some connections with by-product processing facilities, right?”

“Yeah, well…”

“Director Park Geun-tae said he knows someone here, so I’ll try to contact him. Oh, and I will take care of the necessary documents….”

“….”

As I was silently watching her talking non-stop, she looked at me as if she felt my gaze.

“…Why are you looking at me like that? “Is there anything you don’t like?”

“it’s nothing.”

I shook my head.

Although I didn’t say anything, I felt a strange sense of reassurance.

It was hard to believe

that such a passionate guy was the same machine-like guy from his past life .

If I had known he was like this, I would have kept him as a friend instead of a subordinate. It would have been much more helpful, but that thought crossed my mind for a moment.

“…Hey, there! Are you listening?”

“Yes yes? “What did you say?”

For a moment, I came to my senses.

“Have you thought about a company name?”

“ah. what… “There is.”

“What is it?”

I hesitated for a moment because I felt very embarrassed, but then I slowly opened my mouth.

“Korea Agency of Reset-a-dungeon Management Association.”

“…?”

The reaction was confusing.

“Korea Association Dungeon Cleaning Management Organization…? “It’s intuitive, but… it’s too long.”

“Well, it’s okay to pick on the weak.”

“The weak…”

“KARMA.”

I answered immediately.

“This is Karma Corporation.”
