587 Air, Time.
Everything seemed to stop. It was the same for the owner of the Ares Guild located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, especially in Area A, which was kept secret.
‘how?’ Only that question ran through my head.
Seok-jun Seok-jun stared at the hologram TV installed on the wall with a stiff face, forgetting that Ko Se-won was next to him.
Videos transmitted by dozens of unmanned reconnaissance planes from the government and various media were streaming live.
– The place you are looking at is Mount Balwang near Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, where the monster wave occurred. and… … .
The voice of the signboard announcer who hosts the nine o’clock news of public broadcasting came out. Unlike usual, who was calm and serious, he who was invisible on the screen was very excited.
– Folks, can you see it! It is the corpse of the named monster Behemoth! Around it, survivors who survived the disaster are being transported by ambulance helicopter… … .
Seok-jun’s eyelids trembled.
The brutally dismembered body of the beast and the survivors. And the voices of the Peace Guild member and the announcer explaining the situation further increased his anger.
With a bang, the latest hologram TV, which had been replaced more than ten times in the past month, became dust and scattered.
However, it had nothing to do with Seok-Jun Seok-Jun.
The moment Choi Min-woo, being transported wearing a respirator, was caught on the screen, everything became meaningless.
‘Survived. Choi Min-woo.’ That fact weighed heavily on his heart.
To Seok-Jun Seok-Jun, Choi Min-Woo deserved to die, and he was the one who should be killed.
So I dug a trap.
He lured Jin Tae-gyeong to Busan, and planned a plan of Lee Je-yi (以夷制夷) and Yangpae Gusang (兩敗俱傷) using Song Cheon-woo.
but… … ‘What’s wrong.’ A red light shone in Seok-jun’s eyes. In his hands, two unpurified S-class magic stones were constantly rubbing against each other.
hard. up
What did you miss?
Knickknacker.
I thought it was perfect. No, it might have been perfect.
But if there was only one flaw in this perfect plan, it was the fact that there was something more than perfect on the other side of him.
‘Jin Tae-kyung.’
It’s a bastard. All media were blocked by the Behemoth’s magic field, so I couldn’t know the details, but it was definitely him.
The guy who killed Lee Jeong-ryong, who was like a living god, and imprinted an indelible fear on himself, once again interfered.
Even though I set a trap that I could never avoid and dug a trap. Yet again!
Cadde deuk!
Instead of screaming indignation, a horrifying noise filled the office.
Suppressing his surging anger, Seok-jun Seok-jun managed to squeeze his voice out.
“Song Cheon-woo… … Song Cheon-woo?”
When there was no answer to the question, a thunderous roar erupted.
“Aren’t you asking what happened?”
“Team leader Go! Go Se-won!”
The head of the security team, Ko Se-won, who had been silently looking at the boss who was venting his anger, answered in a dry voice.
“There is no list of survivors and casualties that we have obtained.”
11 Gate access records?”
“It is the same. In fact, it is expected that the Peace Guild, which owns the gate, intentionally left no traces.”
“Yes, that’s right. Choi Min-woo doesn’t know anything else, but he is very careful. Huh? Isn’t he?”
“… … yes.”
The fact that a secret does not cross the fence is both an advantage and a disadvantage of top secrecy.
Seok-Jun Seok-Jun shook his head roughly. He murmured as he drank the whole bottle of whiskey in front of him.
“Yes. Then, even if things go wrong, nothing can be done. Song Chun-wu can prove his alibi with a stand-in prepared in advance, or if that becomes difficult, you can drive him to commit the crime alone. There is no trace left in Busan, so there is nothing to worry about. Go, right?” “But, deputy guild leader. The Pyeongchang case is too big to deal with Song Chun-wu alone. According to the obtained information, the peace guild leader Kim Hwa-jong has died, albeit nominally, and Song Chun-wu clearly belongs to Ares…
“Hey, Team Leader Go.” In an instant, Go Se-won felt a chill that invaded his body, and his frozen figure was reflected in Seok-jun’s red eyes.
“Then let’s make the big issue smaller.” “Boo Boo Guild Leader.” “It doesn’t matter if it’s hundreds of billions or hundreds of billions. Sprinkle money on the prosecution, threaten the old people sitting in the Capitol, and grab the guys with cameras and microphones by the throat.
Isn’t that what you do?” U ?
Ko Se-won’s eyes trembled slightly. The malice and the terrifying force that flowed from the one man weighed him down.
‘How can this… … It was shocking beyond surprise. How a person can change so much in just a few months. whether it can fall
And what is the overwhelming power that suppresses oneself now?
Go Se-Won, who was looking at Seok-Jun Seok-Jun with a stunned look, suddenly heard Song Cheon-Woo’s voice a few days ago.
‘The boundary between humans and monsters. Seok-jun Seok-jun is… … I’ve already become a monster.’ right. Seok-jun Seok-jun and his boss have already become monsters.
Using loyalty close to faith, he drove his subordinates to death, thousands. Tens of thousands. It artificially caused a wave of monsters that could possibly cause hundreds of thousands of casualties.
Just for the sake of killing one’s enemies.
‘A monster that has forgotten even the bare minimum duties of a human being.’
Just when Ko Se-won was struggling to hide the agitation he felt, Seok-jun Seok-jun opened his mouth again.
“Definitely deal with it. Choi Min-woo survived, but at least Song Chun-wu took care of it, so if it goes well this time, there will be no problem.”
Seok-jun Seok-jun, who had regained his composure, was cold.
Even though they couldn’t defeat the enemies outside, since they got rid of the enemies inside, half of the success was achieved.
Now, when Song Chun-wu, a fake who has been set up as a substitute, goes through retirement procedures soon and disappears, everything is over.
No amount of rumors and accusations would break the Ares guild.
“Thirty years. That’s like thirty years. Politics, business, prosecution, media… … Everyone grew up under Ares’ shadow.”
hard. up
It was Cheon Tae-min who built the rock, but it was Lee Jeong-ryong-mi who made the pillars and roof after he lost consciousness.
Young politicians whom Ares sponsored a long time ago became prime ministers, representatives of the ruling party, and established themselves as major opposition parties. finance and prosecutors. So is the media.
Some of the astronomical amount of money that the Ares Guild obtained from the diamond mine called the Gate was scattered everywhere as black money, and the seeds became a dense forest and covered the fortress.
Seok-jun Seok-jun was one of the people who knew that fact better than anyone else.
Among the things he inherited from his teacher, there was also a ledger in which all kinds of irregularities and weaknesses were densely recorded. I had forgotten in impatience and anger. How much power do you have?
And it was at that moment that a deep smile formed on Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s lips, who had completely regained his composure.
“Wrong.”
“what? ，，Ko Se-Won looked straight at the monster in front of him and his superior with indescribable eyes.
“Even the old politicians who were raised in the name of Ares, the prosecutor general, and the conglomerates of companies and media that came down from Japanese colonial rule cannot protect the deputy guild leader.”
“Go Chief. you this now… … .”
“To some extent, that is true. Because the name Ares won’t collapse with just pointing fingers and criticism. But even if the whole world protects you, you won’t be able to stop one person.”
K ?
In an instant, Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s new model stood tall.
The thought of grabbing the collar of the security team leader who dared to speak nonsense in his face had already flown far away.
It was because of the name of one person who struck me in the brain.
‘Jin Tae-kyung.’
Go Se-won, who read his thoughts from his superior’s trembling eyes, continued with a calm voice.
“Did you forget? Whose hand fell into the hands of the person who took care of the world that the guild leader now believes in?”
Unfortunately, everything the damn guy in front of me was talking about was not bullshit, but the truth.
‘Master.’
It was. Jungryong Lee. Ares’ owner and his teacher, who was no different from the king of Korea, was eventually killed at the hands of Jin Tae-gyeong.
The whole world belonged to him, but no one could protect Lee Jeong-ryong.
A boiling voice came through Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s teeth.
“Chief Ko… … you bastard.”
“Someone just said what had to be said.”
“Shut up.”
“If it’s the sub guild leader’s order, I’ll follow it. But please don’t take my word for it.”
“I told you. Shut up that muzzle.”
Hard!
At that moment, the huge energy that exploded from Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s whole body shook the office as if it had been an earthquake.
Indeed, Ko Se-won’s complexion turned pale in front of the overwhelming power, but that was nothing compared to the disgust he was feeling right now.
‘monster.’
Seok-jun Seok-jun, who read the emotions that passed by Go Se-won’s eyes, asked, baring his teeth.
“Chief Ko, did you suddenly go crazy? Are you out of your mind?” “I was only given the team leader’s position because my skills were useful. Did the world look different when I used a fighting spirit that I didn’t even have?” Seok-Jun Seok-Jun, who let out an angry laugh, continued.
“Team leader Ko, you are a coward and a scumbag. You put it under the word ‘loyalty’, but you fear Jin Tae-gyeong more than Master and me.” “……no.” “It’s too late to cheat. Let’s admit it to each other. Yes, Jin Tae-kyung. It’s true that bastard is strong. But how long will that bastard stay over my head? Huh?” Knock Knock!
“It’s just a matter of time anyway. I, as long as I’m determined to kill him. I’ll find a way that’s good enough… Damn it. Got it?” Hard!
There was a mix of bleak voices and friction. Seok-jun Seok-jun glared at Se-won Ko with eyes that were almost blood red.
As he leaned his upper body toward the subordinate who had dared to commit an incurable sin, an old necklace flowed out and spun in front of Go Se-won’s eyes.
“Team leader Go, Go Se-won. You bastard who doesn’t even know this grace.” “A year at most. Taekyung Jin… … The guy you fear so much will eventually die by my hand.
Sichuan or Seoul, it doesn’t matter. I will kill him in the same way as Master did, so that no one will notice.” “Until then, the world is on my side.
Until I leave this castle first, no one can touch me. You stupid bastard.” The joy of thinking about revenge and the madness towards one person are mixed. Go Se-won, who was silently looking at those turbid eyes, suddenly opened her mouth.
“one year. That’s long.”
“what?”
“I don’t know what method the deputy guild leader found, but… … Jin Tae-kyung, he won’t wait until then.”
“then. Do you think he’ll come in right now?”
“Yes,” Seok-Jun Seok-Jun laughed out loud at the short answer. His face contorted and he laughed until he left his office, then parted his lips with a suddenly calm expression.
“병신 같은 새끼. This is Ares Gild. If you fall forward, it’s the Blue House, if you fall backward, it’s the National Assembly building. Do you think he would do something crazy that turned the whole world into an enemy?”
“Someone I know has artificially created a monster wave. Can’t you call something less crazy than Jin Tae-kyung?”
a “And, the deputy guild leader.”
Ko Se-won laughed involuntarily. It was because he remembered the facts he learned from monitoring Jin Tae-kyung’s every move and investigating the past.
“Jin Tae-kyung is a madman. Didn’t you know?”
“This dog… … ?
The pure goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo eyes!
Ares Guild Headquarters. Skyscrapers with over 100 floors trembled.
Over the fading roar, the voice of the late Se-Won pierced Seok-Jun Seok-Jun’s ears.
“Probably my last mission will be to deal with that madman. Thank you so much, deputy guild leader. If you survive, I will formally submit my resignation.”
The late Se-won, bowing deeply with gratitude and disgust as a human being, opened the door that had been firmly closed.
The sound of an emergency siren was waking the Ares guild.
