Episode 159. Environment Creation (11)

Rumor has it that animals are afraid of standing humans.

Since most animals walk on all fours instead of upright, the story goes that animals ignorant of humans can only infer that the back of an animal is much larger than it actually is just by looking at its height.

I did the same. I couldn’t help but guess what he was like by looking at his most prominent features, his powerful weapons and hacking abilities.

But organizations are stronger than individuals.

No matter how terrifying a killer in a horror movie might be, there aren’t many who can defeat an army that operates within the laws of physics.

Even if you are a strong man with a cleaver, an axe, or a chainsaw, you will be reduced to a piece of meat in an instant when a well-organized military force with guns rushes in.

“It was nothing special.”

I was afraid of the organization that Evan had. Whether he was the main character or not, he was still a target of caution.

As the protagonist, he had to be afraid of the numerous opportunities and quests given to him, and the forces he could attract because of them.

If he wasn’t the main character, then we would have to be afraid of how many ‘monsters with that level of power’ that mysterious organization had and how many more they could create.

But there was nothing behind the black curtain. It was just a phantom.

“I got the stats wrong.”

“Oh, no. Don’t worry about it.”

It may be a bit of a guess and leap of logic, but a hypothesis has come to mind to guess the guy’s identity.

Evan is the main character. It was a bit surprising that he wasn’t active in Stella City, but it’s also unreasonable to think that I know everything about this world.

The DLC may have introduced new areas and new ‘protagonist origins’.

Or maybe I was a human who had to move from Blacrohn and enter Stella City for some reason, and I might have stayed in Blacrohn as a butterfly effect of my actions.

“It’s a little funny, but…….”

It’s not that areas outside of Stella City don’t appear in the game.

Although it didn’t appear to be a place where players could move, there was a concept of an external dispatch where ‘you spend a certain amount of time earning stats and goods’.

I dug through my memory and recalled the stats I could get from Blacrohn: Strength and Agility.

I still don’t know where they got their hacking support from, but at least I know for sure that it wasn’t some well-organized force that existed in Blakron.

It was a bit surprising that Hansan was involved with him, but it wasn’t surprising either.

The protagonist was able to collaborate with numerous companies, but unfortunately, those companies just happened to be in a slump.

Rather, it wasn’t bad. Even if this Hansan lab was the secret to his becoming so strong, this place was already ruined.

There was no way a monster like Evan would come out. Now that we know his power, there was no way we would lose a fight with him.

Maybe he can keep running. Or maybe he can commit another pretty painful terrorist attack.

But he is alone. Blacrohn, whom he thought was his own force, has already become a vassal of Stella City, and no force has emerged to support him.

He is no longer a threat to Hansan.

“Aren’t you going to bow down and receive my compliments? What kind of event are you holding…….”

“You always think negative thoughts. I’m fine, but what’s wrong with doing this little thank you event?”

The black couple were arguing as they always did.

“Anyway, you washed your hands and left the gang, right? You’re going to do your job properly.”

“We have to eat to survive, so what can we do? The gangs are still around in name only, they’ve all scattered. There’s no one left to go and catch the runaways.”

But the fight was much weaker and softer than before. Even if no one else knew it, at least the two of them felt it.

It’s not a fight where you have a genuine murderous intent towards each other, or a fear that one of you might die if you keep fighting.

Fights never end. Fights between couples have existed in every era and every society, and they will probably never end.

But now that the money issue was somewhat resolved, they could fight about less pressing issues.

The fights that ‘could happen in any family’ – about each other’s speech, way of thinking, and indifference to the child’s education or housework – felt so sweet to them.

“I’m not asking you to do anything weird.”

The wife gently comforted her husband.

“That’s true…… Actually, I heard that they all stopped in Hansan. It seems like there were a lot of kids who wanted to ‘show their gratitude’ more.”

“Really? Why?”

“There are always those guys. Those guys who can’t do anything but fart. I guess they thought that if they rubbed their hands together, the soybeans would fall off.”

Compared to that plan, what they had to do now was extremely light and comfortable.

All you have to do is have a bunch of people standing there holding big placards.

“Let’s stand in line, stand in line. If we do a few shows like this, money and food will start rolling in, so why wouldn’t we do it?”

In addition to the couple, many other people were lined up in the open space. In their center was a placard expressing gratitude for Stella City’s relief efforts.

“I’ll start taking pictures soon!”

The photographer with the megaphone shouted. Everyone straightened their posture and smiled.

Regardless of how much sincerity was put into it, the sight was quite beautiful.

“What about Evan?”

“They are still running away.”

It was an expected result. The important thing was not that we failed to catch him, but that we did not miss him.

After all, we are only individuals. Our physical strength is limited, and we cannot last forever without supplies.

“But… he seemed much stronger than when I chased him in Stella City. He didn’t resist as often, but his weapons and reaction speed had become much more threatening.”

“There must not have been much time…… Why on earth did you do that?”

Nevertheless, the fact that it was my victory in the end did not change.

“But this was really dangerous. If they had linked up with other companies to harass us, it would have been a force that could have shaken not only Stella City, but the entire Hansan Group.”

“It didn’t actually happen. We were prepared for it.”

Even though they are implant wearers who can ‘fight’ just like me, the power I’ve personally raised and the idiots are different.

It was the result of the Doris Mercenary Corps showering ‘talented and proven mercenaries’ with corporate implants, and Brandon and other private soldiers were overwhelmingly stronger than the others.

And that wasn’t the end of it. If the bastard had continued his rampage, I would have used up more of my saved power and stopped him somehow.

“I thought it was an over-contrast… but, indeed, a strong individual is a terrifyingly fearsome being.”

If they hadn’t gathered talent in advance, if they hadn’t created a reason for Hansan to secure a military organization, something much more terrible might have happened.

“So, would you like to return to Stella City now?”

“Not yet. I definitely have to finish it.”

I am not a soft person to retreat without checking whether my enemy is alive or dead.

Even if Evan had fallen off the cliff, we couldn’t let our guard down until we had thoroughly searched and found his body.

When I looked back, the landscape painter was staring into space. He might be reading a message.

“what’s the matter?”

“That’s… a video call. The Chairman has called.”

She handed me the tablet. I took a deep breath, accepted it, and pressed the ‘Receive’ button.

“How are you, my grandson? Any word on a great-grandson yet?”

An overwhelming sense of intimidation can be felt in the innocent-looking expression. A hologram of Hansanmok floated above the tablet.

“Not yet.”

It’s hard. It’s hard to control your facial expressions.

I didn’t feel it when I saw him on the phone, but once I met him, I felt a tickling sensation in my chest.

Unconditional affection and love were in his eyes. I was sure that this man would never dare to harm his family, no matter what they did.

I have to endure it. He is him, and I am me. There is no reason for me to return his affection.

“Well, it looks like you came to your senses again and were having a blast. But you shouldn’t be too rough with women.”

It seemed like the rumor had spread that far. Naturally, a hollow laugh came out.

“yes…….”

“It may be okay for a woman who is going to be thrown away after eating once, but you have to cherish a woman who is going to give birth. No matter how good a woman’s body is when she gives birth, you can’t put implants in the fetus, right?”

We only exchanged a few words, but I feel like my whole body is releasing tension. No matter how much I think about it, this feeling of happiness is dangerously great.

“You’ve had a hard time lately. Tsk. Still, you’re doing a good job. There’s no way you’d know someone like that would show up.”

“Because it’s Hansan. We have to do this much.”

“Yes. That’s my grandson. I’m proud of you, I’m proud of you. I went to a seminar in Paris the other day, and there, too, they only talked about you. How wise and smart you are…….”

Given Hansanmok’s social status, it was natural for him to say things that those around him would enjoy hearing.

Considering his personality, it might have been more effective to praise his family rather than Hansanmok’s achievements themselves or Hansan himself.

If I know something, other businessmen probably know it too.

“This old man should have done better… I’m so sorry. That’s why I’m saying this-.”

I held my breath and stared at the hologram of his image.

“I’ll take care of that terrorist thing for you. Go back to Stella City.”

Startled, I briefly wondered if this was a threat, intimidation, or restraint.

“I don’t mean to blame you. I don’t mean to take your credit away. But… how much trouble must you have had in that dirty city.”

Officially, ‘Han San-woo’ was supposed to stay in Stella City. The one who came here was Lee Seon-woo.

Of course, in Hansanmok’s eyes, such a lame pun would have no effect.

“I looked into it and found out that my subordinate did something bad. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“okay.”

It’s not strange. If Evan was involved with Hansan in some way, Hansanmok couldn’t have been unaware of this situation. No, he realized it too late.

“Put your work aside, go inside and get some rest. Make some great-grandchildren. I’ll take care of this myself.”

I froze for a moment, pondering his suggestion.

“Are you…speaking directly?”

“I left the work to my subordinates and this is how this mess came to be. Shouldn’t I do it myself? The old people usually take care of the annoying work, so the young people can go out and play and look after the children.”

Although it was a little disappointing, it was a perfect ending that couldn’t have been better.

No matter how strong Doris and I are, compared to Hansanmok, they are nothing more than a light in the wind.

Of course, depending on the route, there are cases where the protagonist can even take down Hansanmok. However, that was an achievement that could only be achieved when he had collaborators within Hansan and participated in the Hansan Civil War.

I have confirmed the extent of Evan’s ability. Hansanmok has no reason to let his guard down, invest excessive power, or tremble in formless fear.

All I have to do is take down Evan on the path I have paved, with the information I have acquired. I will bring the world’s strongest soldiers with me, and use weapons of unimaginable power to defeat him.

“Please take good care of me.”

“Don’t worry too much. Even though I’m old, I’m still good at something… Just rest comfortably. Okay?”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

I’m worried. The situation that I had complete control over is now falling into Hansanmok’s hands.

But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like I would suffer a loss.

From the beginning, if Hansanmok had decided to take care of this matter and rushed into it, there would have been no power to stop him, and even if he made some misjudgments and mistakes, he would not be defeated.

“Okay, go in.”

The hologram disappeared. I relaxed my body, letting the tension that had been squeezing me disappear, and looked out onto the streets of Blakron.

The people who had been glaring at us as if they were going to kill us until I came here now showed their greed rather than violence when they saw the people of Stella City.

Those who were wondering if there was any way to rob the truck of its contents realized that cooperation and consideration could bring about greater results than mere violence.

Blacrohn became part of Stella City.
