Episode 174. Eyes and Ears (15)

“This is a police officer. Please remain still and follow our instructions.”

The General Techina staff were trembling in fear at the sound of voices coming from outside the door.

“What, what? How did you know so quickly-.”

“There’s a traitor inside! Hansan has been trying to destroy us for a long time!”

“Hey, you’re the police. What if you just start shooting? That bitch Lisa is on Hansan’s side, right?”

“Hey, just hold on for now! Even if we’re police officers, we’re just general techies, right? I don’t think we’d come in here openly-.”

But the police didn’t wait.

“I know there’s someone inside. Open now! If you don’t open now, I’ll force you to do so!”

After a few seconds, a huge hammer, powered by the power of a small rocket, knocked on the door. The metal door was instantly crumpled and lost its shape.

“Do not resist!”

The police came rushing in. The employees were not normally afraid of the police, but the crimes they had committed were too numerous for them to confidently claim their innocence in front of them.

“eww…….”

They had quite a few weapons. Considering the police’s state of armament, one could think that they would be able to put up a fight.

But they were neither mercenaries nor security guards, they were just employees.

It was not a decision that they could have made with enough courage to start shooting at the police who were coming in with such a fierce attitude.

“What’s your name? Who gave you permission to come in here? Do you have a warrant? Who gave you the order?”

“Isn’t this a fake? Tell me your name, your affiliation, and your name!”

All they could do was keep their mouths shut and pressure the police.

But even that was meaningless. If I had been asked this question in another branch that was currently under investigation, I wouldn’t have known, because there was a big shot among the police here.

“Lisa Kellyn, Stella City Police Department. Anything else you’d like to add?”

“Hey, how did you get here!”

Lisa frowned. She didn’t want to go that far either.

“This, this is crossing the line! Since when does the police have a blade on General Techina-.”

“I will give you an apology after the investigation is over.”

There were too many whistleblowers. There were too many accusations.

“Found it! The stuff piled up in that warehouse over there, mostly explosives!”

“Ha…… You didn’t even intend to hide it.”

If General Techina had been determined to hide something, the police would not have been able to uncover it with the current force available.

But there were no optical distortion devices or detection defense devices here. It wasn’t just an attempt to hide explosives.

“sincerely…….”

No matter how lax the laws of Stella City were and how arbitrary the corporations were, formal audits were being carried out.

If they had kept such items in the heart of the city, they would have been caught for sure. These weapons had been recently transported here, and that was proof that General Techina was on the move.

“Hey, do you think nothing will happen like this? Do you think Hansan can protect you police officers for the rest of your life?”

“Well, I’m a little worried about that too.”

But Lisa was already out of options.

Citizens were already filled with anger and were pressuring the police, asking, “Why aren’t you investigating?”

Although minimal investigation was conducted, General Techina’s reaction was more extreme.

If they had wanted negotiations, they could have accepted them at any time, but they tried to respond to this pressure with bombs and guns.

Given the circumstances, Lisa had no choice but to fight General Techina.

Despite this, her expression remained stable.

Because there was faith that nothing terrible would happen, that people would not allow it to happen.

The sound of a phone call rang in her mind. Lisa immediately picked up the call and smiled faintly as soon as she realized who the caller was.

“You guys, are you done?”

Hansanwoo’s voice flowed through the communication. Lisa nodded.

“Yes, no problem.”

“Huh…… Really. How could something so unpleasant happen?”

“This is not a problem that the Chairman needs to worry about. We will handle it among ourselves.”

“I would appreciate it if you would do that. Chairman Hansanmok would be happy. He has such a smart grandson.”

“It hasn’t lived up to those expectations yet.”

The old man reflected in the hologram was smiling and expressing his gratitude.

“The fact that you can make such a judgment without being swayed by your temper shows your wisdom.”

“Who would benefit if we fought among ourselves now? There are lynxes everywhere, not just in Stella City. I heard that Chairman Hansanmok is also having a hard time in Blacrohn.”

“Since the chairman is doing the work I couldn’t finish… I can’t help but be grateful.”

“Anyway, I’m glad things ended this way. General Techina’s weapons… I hate to say this about my company’s stuff, but they’re just too brutal.”

There was pride in his voice.

I could understand. General Techina might not be as big a company as Hansan, but someone as big as its chairman would be a much more important person than me.

It wouldn’t have been easy for him to bend his huge pride and accept my negotiation proposal. To show this level of opposition was an extremely light resistance.

“Go in and rest. I will give instructions to my fellow humans.”

After I ended the call, I immediately called Sansuhwa and contacted Lisa.

The search was probably over by now. It didn’t seem like anything was going to happen, but I couldn’t relax until the very last moment.

“Hey, are you done?

There was a loud noise, indicating that the situation was not over yet.

“Are you a little late?”

“There was some resistance. But, well, it’s okay since we have the evidence.”

“Okay. After work, take a rest. Thanks for your hard work.”

After finishing the call, I relaxed and collapsed on the sofa.

“Thank you for your hard work. In the end, this matter will end as you wish.”

“You were lucky. As always.”

“But weren’t you sure? Sure that something would go wrong with their plans?”

“That’s obvious. In the first place, wouldn’t it be more ridiculous if war broke out so easily?”

The position of branch manager in charge of General Techina’s ‘Stella City Branch’ can be objectively considered a high position.

But no matter how important Stella City is with a lot of money coming and going, it is ultimately just ‘one city’ compared to the world.

Even if my actions and my pressure felt like unbearable pressure to General Techina of Stella City, the General Techina branches in other cities would have no choice but to watch the scene as if it were a fire across the river.

“The wars that have happened before were full of miscalculations and madness. But not now.”

It wasn’t a fight between nations. It was a fight between companies.

Unlike a nation that can choose to go to war for various reasons such as history, citizens’ feelings, or national territory, the highest value of a company is fundamentally money.

There is no economic value in destroying an opponent’s building with my missile. Reality is not a game, and there is no reward that falls from the sky for killing someone.

At that time, the presidents of each company were full of confidence. They had no doubt that if they just moved their troops, the enemy would fall like autumn leaves and surrender within a few days.

They were also filled with fear. They were gripped by the fear that if they did not use their weapons to pressure their opponents right away, the hostile corporation would use all means at its disposal to attack them first or kill them.

“Basically, I don’t want to do anything that would harm me. Not only in Stella City, but in other cities as well.”

“If you think about it, it’s obvious… but didn’t everyone else just not think about it?”

“Because they think the war happened by accident.”

The trigger for the corporate war was simple and accidental. But behind it, the intentions of each company president who wanted war were hidden.

It is the intention of the chairman. It is not just a few branch managers or one or two presidents who own small affiliates, but the intention of the chairman who can move the entire company.

“If you try to start a war or terrorism without that, other people will have no choice but to turn away.”

The enemy’s field of vision was so narrow that Stella City must have seemed like the world to them.

The General Techinaga and Hansan in front of them must have been no different from the entire company ‘in their world’.

Even though I knew in my head that it wasn’t true, I didn’t know in my heart. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have tried to use such a childish strategy to keep other companies in check.

“But their plan wasn’t entirely reckless.”

At Sansuhwa’s words, I nodded slowly.

“If General Techina had been properly regulating only the employees ‘inside Stella City’, it might have been able to sway public opinion within the company.”

The tail can also wag the body. If the staff of General Techina were successful in putting a negative frame on Hansan, they could create an atmosphere of threat, even if it was not a real war.

“How did you predict that a whistleblower would come forward?”

“Oh, that’s easy.”

I smiled and solved the puzzle of the landscape painting.

“After all, aren’t those people also citizens of Stella City?”

It was no different for them to be employees of General Techina. They were citizens of Stella City who saw the same news and were swept up in similar public opinion.

There was no way they could endure it.
