Episode 138. Execution Power (3)

“Keep talking…….”

There was an ominous atmosphere hanging over the place. It felt like it would explode with a bang if I touched it even a little.

“Hey, wait a minute! Stop it! Stop it!”

A middle-aged man ran out. If he didn’t speak up right now, it seemed like something irreversible was going to happen.

“This guy seems to be a mercenary! He saved me!”

He felt uneasy that he had done it for nothing, but his instincts were screaming at him.

It is absolutely unwise to provoke the mercenary in front of you right now.

“You didn’t take me hostage… Well, anyway, we’re on the same side!”

“Ha, there’s no way those guys would give in with just those words.”

E snorted. He knew better than anyone how arrogant businessmen were and how spoiled their dogs were.

No matter what that man said, the dogs of Hansan would not back down.

But his prediction was wrong.

“Oh, is that true?”

“Yes… Yes! The security guards were chasing me, but this person saved me!”

“I, I didn’t call you, but you’ve been talking to a lot of people. Maybe someone who was worried about me called you-.”

The helicopter came down. E didn’t relax, but Hansan’s dogs didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting.

“If that’s true… I’m sorry. Please understand that the situation was so urgent that I had no choice but to take an aggressive stance.”

E’s heated body cooled down.

Even if I believed the man’s words by any chance, I thought he would first be disarmed, handcuffed, and taken to a detention center.

I expected that after verifying the identity, they would say, ‘Oh no, I guess I got the wrong person,’ and send them away without any compensation.

This kind of meek acknowledgment of a mistake and apology was an attitude that did not fit with the ‘company’ in his memory.

“I thought it was a little late, but I’m glad you received this help. We’re not very well off, so we can’t give you much in return, but if you follow us, we can at least show our gratitude.”

“What if I don’t like it?”

This could have been a trap. I could have lured him in with some nice words, then taken him away in a helicopter, and his expression would have changed.

If he had such intentions hidden, he would have tried to take him away now.

“Then there’s nothing I can do. Once again, thank you very much.”

“Uh…… Uh.”

Hansan’s private soldiers didn’t even point their guns at E.

They are complacent. Their ‘nonchalant’ composure is disgusting. I want to hit them in the back of the head.

E had to barely suppress the impulse rising in his head.

There is no resistance to betrayal. It is lazy not to be wary of others, and betrayal is just a minor act that sounds the alarm for that negligence.

But that was just making a fool of myself.

If they had been strong enough people, people who were ‘capable of subduing him when he was on guard’, it would have been a different story.

Hansan was his enemy. Those who made a contract with him were against Hansan, and he did not have good feelings towards Hansan either.

It was always a pleasant experience to achieve a refreshing victory by penetrating the enemy’s weaknesses and complacency.

But they were not a strong enough enemy to need such a trick.

Judging from their weapons, their level is obvious. They are not soldiers designed to deal with enemies with implants.

Even if they had been fully prepared, or even if they had simply fired missiles from afar without caring about the life or death of their client, they would not have been able to fight him and win.

He admitted his mistake.

Of course he thought he could kill them. He thought they would treat him rudely and pay for it, as he had seen.

It would have been better to just shoot them dead as soon as they heard the name Hansan, but since they had already put down their guns, there was no reason to shoot them dead.

If a rabbit catches a tiger by cheating, that is the rabbit’s wisdom demonstrating its skills, but if a tiger catches a rabbit by cheating, that is just a crazy tiger.

“I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. We’re about to leave now. Would you like a ride?”

“It’s okay. I was already catching a taxi.”

“Oh, I see. Thank you for your hard work. Well then, that’s all…….”

The Hansan staff disappeared in a helicopter. E also had no reason to stay here any longer.

As if something had come to mind, he called Fumiko.

-Okay. Did you finish the work?

“I just made contact with the Hansan people. They brought a client with them.”

-Okay. I was worried, but you’re definitely going to handle things. Next time, I’ll bring you more lucrative work.

“I would appreciate it if you would do that… But, why did you say this started?”

-I thought you told me?

“I forgot.”

Fumiko took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.

-I don’t know why I’m telling you this after the request is over, but okay. Let me explain. So, Elessharmony was a company that dealt with perfumes and cosmetics… … .

“Is the water temperature okay?”

“Perfect.”

It’s a beautiful night view. If my mind had been a little more at ease, I might have enjoyed it.

As I immersed myself in the warm water, I felt the tension in my head begin to ease a little.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Sansuhwa’s strong hand massaged my shoulder.

Considering my physical abilities, there probably aren’t many people who can even press this muscle with their fingers.

Sansuhwa was one of the few who could make that possible, and every time her skin touched my shoulder, I gasped for breath.

As my body became a little more tired, I was able to assess the situation with a clearer head.

“The place that caused the trouble this time was called Elecharmoni, right?”

“At least for now, how about letting go of some of the responsibility?”

“I have to deal with it anyway. I thought it would be a little more comfortable to sit next to you and think about it rather than sitting on a chair and talking.”

Sansuhwa’s hand pressed hard on my shoulder and neck. A little more firmly than before, as if to protest.

“Explain it to me.”

“Things weren’t going well. We had to hurriedly buy some mercenaries because of recent events… but they betrayed us.”

“……That could happen.”

Numerous companies were buying mercenaries without exception. But in the end, they were an unbelievable force.

It was very common for those entrusted with escort or security duties to betray their masters, blinded by a wealthier employer or the goods they were transporting.

“It seems that the entire company has been squeezed to recover the losses caused by that.”

“That won’t be enough.”

It was certainly unfortunate, but it was far from enough to understand the situation.

A whistleblower emerged from among the watchdogs linked to Brownhood, felt threatened, and Hansan’s private army was brought in.

Even they were late, and if it weren’t for the mercenaries personally called by the accuser, Hansan wouldn’t have been able to protect the accuser.

“Because the employees were aware of the seriousness of the situation, they surprisingly worked diligently.”

“There was a death from overwork. The company denied any connection to the job and claimed it was a ploy to get compensation.”

I got greedy at the last minute. It’s not that I can’t understand why I made that choice, but it was ultimately the wrong choice.

“What a headache.”

The biggest problem was that Elecharmony was a company belonging to the ‘Hansan faction’.

They formally supported the new labor laws and more or less complied with the rules we set.

It may have been an attitude shown out of fear of Hansan rather than a sense of justice, but that did not change the way people viewed Elecharmoni.

People will perceive their crimes as ‘corporate crimes that follow Hansan’.

“The whistleblower trusts Hansan, and anyone who knows about this is within his control.”

Her intentions were clear. Hansan could hide this.

For the time being, reporters’ attention will be focused on the corruption scandal that broke out at Hansan’s foundation.

It was my fault for not choosing the right people, but sometimes a crisis can be turned into an opportunity.

“……Okay. Secure the evidence and monitor closely to make sure no more victims emerge.”

“Make the executives of Elecharmoni have the wrong perception. Make them think, ‘Is Hansan really going to let this slide?’”

“then…….’

“You can’t hide it forever. If they get caught someday, Hansan will have to punish them for their crimes himself.”

“Secure witnesses and investigate the case through prosecutors.”

After citizens have watched this incident unfold, we need to make them trust the system.

“As soon as the investigation is concluded, all those involved in the incident will be arrested.”

“No matter how this matter is resolved, the citizens will blame Hansan.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not going to leave those people alone forever.”

Brownhood’s trust is not free. He may not turn his back on me immediately for every single mistake I make, but he won’t wait for me forever.

“Just a little bit… just a little bit more time.”

I struggled to get up. The bathroom was comfortable, but it was time to get up.
