Episode 140. Execution Power (5)

The silver-haired girl bit her lip wearily.

“What’s wrong, Luna? Is there a problem?”

Doris smiled mischievously. She came up to Luna’s eyes without a care and waved her hand in the air.

“……no.”

It was a problem that didn’t require any discussion.

It had nothing to do with the mercenaries, their business, or their friends.

This was, after all, her personal matter.

“Nothing happened.”

Although she said so, Luna couldn’t take her eyes off the information floating before her eyes.

Doris waved her hands desperately to distract Luna, but it was no use.

‘Elecharmony… … .’

The Doris Mercenary Corps, Hansan’s private soldiers, Brownhood and Hansan’s ‘Gratitude Center’ connected to him were all connected.

Information was being shared, and Luna could also sense the mood of other organizations. If it wasn’t confidential information that should only be circulated within the organization, it could be accessed through legal means.

And inside it was her past that she wanted to erase.

“What’s so serious? Show me, show me!”

As Doris’s hand shook her shoulder, Luna finally had no choice but to surrender.

“Okay. So, that is…….”

It was information that didn’t need to be shared with my colleagues, but it wasn’t information that I absolutely had to keep secret.

Her heart raced as she thought about the past and her family.

That touched Luna’s pride.

I thought I had forgotten everything. I had found a new family, and I had found a colleague I could really trust.

I didn’t want to remember anything. No one was right, misunderstanding led to misunderstanding, and arrogance led to failure.

But that meant nothing to her.

Even if it wasn’t true, Luna believed it. She decided to believe it.

Saying something that was nothing should have been something that could be done literally without any problem.

“There was a conflict. One of the companies that cooperated with Hansan, Elecharmoni, committed corruption, and Hansan covered it up.”

“Um… why is that?”

“That’s all. There is discontent within Brownhood… that’s all. It doesn’t seem like the cooperative relationship with Hansan will be broken anytime soon, it’s just that there are movements like that.”

Doris thought for a moment, then rushed to Luna and started tickling her.

“That’s not the end, is it? Be honest. Who are you trying to hide now!”

“Mom, I was going to tell you! I was going to tell you!”

Luna struggled to get Doris off her, but the difference in strength was too great.

“Huh, huff, haa…….”

Only after catching her breath did Luna finally get a chance to explain the situation.

“That’s… my family.”

Doris’s eyes, which had been full of playfulness, froze. This was not something that could be passed off as a joke.

Unlike Doris or Ravina, Luna was from the central district where every bit of guilt was flowing out of her body.

Her neat and excellent hacking skills were not something that could be learned by handling cheap computers in a back alley.

“Is it okay for me to tell you?”

I never dug into their past. They were precious friends, so I didn’t have to do anything like that.

“Yeah… Well, it’s all in the past.”

But, the person in the central district had no choice but to fall to the bottom of Stella City. There was no way a light story could come out.

“Could you please call Rabina? I think she should know too.”

“Uh…… yeah!”

Doris ran over and woke up Ravina, who was sleeping soundly in her room.

“Uhm… what is it, what is it?”

Luna looked at Ravina’s lovely face, which had no complaints, and thought that her choice was not wrong.

Her past family meant nothing to her now.

Third-rate doctors on the street tried everything they could to cut costs.

It wasn’t necessarily their fault. The people who came looking for them were also blinded by cost reduction.

From the client’s point of view, it was enough if they could somehow get a strong implant installed right away.

People with more money would have had implants fitted by a proper doctor in a central area, or a doctor with ties to a company.

The desire to have expensive implants installed at a low cost and enjoy their strength for even a day. Those who visit the black market doctor harbor such burning emotions.

From a doctor’s perspective, I didn’t want to get into a tangled mess of topics that the patient hadn’t even asked for.

Whether a person died during the surgery or suffered aftereffects a few days after the implant procedure, it was a matter out of the doctor’s hands.

If there was a trustworthy doctor who could safely place low-quality implants with poor facilities and equipment, there would be no need to run a hospital in a back alley like this.

“Gh …

Alex groaned in pain, clutching his mangled body.

The ‘cost savings’ of the night doctor included painkillers.

“I told you it would hurt, sir. Wake up. You have to tell me where it hurts so I can continue with the surgery.”

“Left……side, side.”

“Hey. It shouldn’t hurt there. Just wait a minute……”

Even the most advanced facilities that can diagnose problems without the operator’s will, and the painkillers that minimize pain, were all targets of ‘cost reduction.’

If money couldn’t pay the price, it had to be paid with the body. Alex felt a pain that tore through his entire body.

“Back! Back, back! Euaaaahhhh!!!”

“Okay. I’m back in properly. It’s okay to pass out now, so if you feel sick, just rest.”

“Kuaaaah!”

The doctor continued the surgery calmly. For the person undergoing the procedure, it may have been the most painful experience they had ever had in their life, but for the person performing the procedure, it was just another day, no different from any other day.

Screams that sounded like hell had been brought to the real world, and blood flowing out from under the operating table.

If someone who had no knowledge of implant surgery, or more precisely, no knowledge of ‘back alley implant surgery’, were to see this scene, they would have thought it was a mad scientist torturing a test subject.

A terrible moment passed. Alex, who had finally come to his senses, looked down at his torn body.

“Did the surgery go well?”

“It was dangerous. If you had gone to find someone else instead of me, you would have died?”

“……thanks.”

“If someone has had an implant once, would they get a new one? They must be going crazy and want to die.”

Alex couldn’t bring himself to contradict the doctor. It was such a reckless and wild thing to do.

“Even if I kill the old man here with an overdose of anesthesia, it’s not murder. It’s assisting in euthanasia. I can say this proudly in court.”

The doctor was so proud of his accomplishments that he kept patting Alex’s body and talking nonstop.

“The crazy guy wanted to die, so I just let him go without any pain. I didn’t kill him… something like that.”

“I won’t ask why you did something like that. Well, looking at your condition, I don’t think you’ll last more than a few years even if you leave it alone. You must have something you wanted to do.”

The amateur implant surgeon did not have to worry about side effects on his patients.

Dementia, cancer, and arthritis are diseases that arose as humans began to live longer. If there were a society where the average life expectancy was 30 years, the people living there might not even know that such diseases existed.

Those who get implants in places like this are no different. They are people who will die soon. They are just walking corpses.

Alex, who had barely managed to get up, checked the message the broker had sent.

[Applicants Available]

It was a short statement, but it was enough.

He didn’t have much money to pay, and the task was reckless and extremely dangerous.

It didn’t matter who came. It didn’t matter if it was a criminal or a fool blinded by money.

Because he’s going to be used as cannon fodder anyway.

“……I have something I need to do. When can I start moving?”

“About a day?”

“That’s enough.”

Alex thought back to the past.

The evil he committed, the values ​​he gave up, the people he wanted to protect. The companies that abandoned him, and the people who did not abandon him. Running away, wandering, a wavering mind and restless steps.

I thought back to when I first met Rick. I thought of him as a young man carrying luggage alone in an empty headquarters.

He never gave up until the very end. He had orphans to take care of and a nameplate to protect.

There was a reason to guard the sanctuary so that those who left for a while could return at any time.

“I’m sorry.”

Maybe, he wasn’t wrong.

An unwavering will, even in the most difficult and trying situations, is certainly valuable, but it is ultimately meaningless if there are no results.

Perhaps he thought that he could achieve more by taking their side than by digging up Hansan’s small flaws and losing a trustworthy ally.

Maybe you thought it was an inevitable choice to protect what you had now.

“I envy you.”

But he had nothing to protect. He had already lost everything.

“Please wait a moment, Miss Selene…….”

In his eyes, stained with pain, there was a will stronger than sense.

“I will follow you soon.”
