Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 283



282 – Fake_4

“ah.”

Yukina Ishihara, who was lying on the sofa in Hyakushiri’s private room and watching Lee Seong-hyeon through clairvoyance, let out a small sigh.

It was because my vision suddenly went black.

And it wasn’t hard to figure out why my vision had suddenly gone black.

That’s understandable, because there was something wrong with Ishihara Yukina’s eyes.

It wasn’t like the lights hanging from the ceiling had lost their light.

“Senior… Is there something you don’t want to show?”

Normally, no matter what I put on, I would show it off openly as if it didn’t matter to anyone.

This time, I wondered what he was trying to decorate it with.

“Ugh.”

That’s why Yukina Ishihara got up from the sofa and thought back to the last episode, wondering what Lee Seong-hyeon was up to.

“I don’t know.”

There was no clear answer that could be given.

Just the number of cases found out through countless regressions, Lee Seong-hyeon’s personality and purpose, and what he will do in the future.

As a result, dozens of vague guesses came to mind as to what it might be like.

In the first place, no two episodes are the same.

There are only similar turns, if they were the same, we wouldn’t have had to go back dozens of times.

Of course, the water fight here in Okinawa was almost certain to be won by this side once Taylor Marvel was secured.

Still, you never know.

“Okay. If that’s what you want to continue, then there’s nothing we can do. Let’s continue a little longer. And that’s fair.”

We had to prepare.

Yukina Ishihara smiled and activated the ability nullification just like Lee Seong-hyeon did, erasing the eyes looking at her.

**

“It’s disconnected.”

After using the ability nullification, my vision suddenly became black.

That means that Yukina Ishihara also used this ability nullification.

“Hmm.”

There won’t be a problem.

Anyway, whether I was watching or not, there wasn’t much of a difference.

Because she was a regressor.

Because you don’t have to decorate from the beginning to do something like me, you can decorate with what you have.

Information pollution.

The resulting constraints on action.

Side effects such as an endlessly expanding range of thoughts.

Rather, there were cases where watching it was poisonous.

“Still, it’s a shame.”

Of course, just like poison can be used as medicine if used well.

It was also used in reverse, and it wasn’t completely useless.

If I were to choose between whether it was disappointing or not, rather than whether there were any problems, there was definitely a sense of regret.

But unfortunately, I can’t give you this information anymore.

Because what happened here could have been a huge variable if just one piece of information leaked out.

From noble mtl dot com

This was the right thing to do to reduce variables.

“What do you mean it’s a pity?”

That’s why I feel regretful and am reviewing the plan again.

Sarah suddenly jumped out of the shadows, wrapped both arms around my neck, and clung to me as if she was catching a fisherman’s paw.

“It’s nothing. More importantly, have you finished the task I asked you to do earlier?”

“Yeah, we worked hard together with Red and finished it. But oppa, unlike us, those kids would get really sick if they were exposed to sunlight. Is it okay to let them go like that?”

“It’s okay. I’ll take care of everything later.”

Of course it’s a lie.

There was no reason to treat a retinue that couldn’t overcome sunlight and had no powers.

This was just lip syncing to suit Sarah’s mood.

“Really? That’s good.”

“So Sarah, don’t worry.”

“huh!”

Sarah smiled faintly, as if relieved by my words.

Anyway, this concludes the basic setup.

From now on, it’s a battle of wits.

No, it’s a battle of information manipulation.

-I told you not to stick around because it smells like urine.

-you…

-Don’t even open your mouth. It smells like shit.

-Ugh.

-Keep your voices down. Do you want to get caught by that monster?

It seems that Yukina Ishihara was trying to use them to uncover my plan and use the power of the nation to delay the achievement of my goal.

I think it should have been done knowing whose will it was.

Or maybe you have a good grasp of what’s hidden behind it.

“Is Ines ready?”

“…yes.”

Ines, who had been standing silently next to me, closed her eyes tightly and nodded as if she had made up her mind.

There was no way out now.

Leading actors, supporting actors, all prepared.

And the stage.

Originally, it was supposed to be kept hidden for the end.

If you are not flexible and continue to stick to one thing, you will fall behind the times.

So I changed the frame and changed the main.

But I didn’t lose sight of my goal.

“Then let’s go.”

A person who fell from hero to villain.

It was time to return to being a hero again.

**

A heavy atmosphere settled over the first conference room of the Central Intelligence Agency of the Holy Empire of America.

That’s because all of the intelligence agents from the Eastern Alliance who had gone to investigate Taylor Mabille’s disappearance at the request of Elizabeth Hudson were cut off from communication.

Even the additional agents who were dispatched to find out what was going on with him were unable to contact him.

Moreover, it had been over a week since Elizabeth Hudson had been contacted.

“What does everyone think?”

The one who opened the door to such an airborne meeting was Gavin Gale, the director of the intelligence agency.

He looked around the room, then clasped his hands together in front of his face.

“”…..””

However, despite Gavin Gale’s questions, the intelligence personnel gathered in the conference room either averted their gaze or gulped.

All I could do was keep silent.

The reason for this was that they also did not have accurate information about what was happening in Okinawa.

Everyone in the intelligence community knows that Gavin Gale’s current pose is his signature pose when he’s very angry.

To put it nicely, it means being extremely cautious, and to put it badly, because there is a lack of information, I have no choice but to answer with some degree of guesswork.

The answer was more likely to be wrong than true, so he was careful not to get demoted or embarrassed.

“Why isn’t anyone answering!”

But that only works when one or two people do it.

It was obvious how it would look if everyone remained silent.

Gavin Gale, who was even more angry at their arrogant behavior, looked around the crowd and glared at them sharply.

“First Vice President, you speak.”

When there was still no response, Gavin Gale pointed to the person on his right.

“That, that…”

Then, the designated first vice president responded in a strange and strange manner and trailed off.

Gavin Gale frowned.

“Ha, Second Lieutenant, then you tell me.”

“Sorry, sorry. All of our agents…”

“3rd Deputy Manager.”

“We’ve dispatched additional agents to investigate, but there hasn’t been any significant results yet. But soon…”

“…”

So I named the others in order of rank.

None of their answers pleased Gavin Gale.

Rather, it only made him more angry.

“I’m sure I gave you plenty of time. And yet this is what it looks like.”

Gavin Gale clenched his fists in boiling anger.

-Kuuung!

Then the conference room began to shake as if there was an earthquake due to the atmospheric mana reacting to his anger.

“Eek.”

“That’s…”

“We did our best, but the agents we dispatched continued to…”

At that sight, the intelligence agents began to make hasty excuses.

Because now it was not a matter of demotion or a matter of shame, but a matter of survival, literally life or death.

But their excuses only served to further anger Gavin Gale.

-Kuuung!

The sound of the conference room shaking only grew louder.

The intelligence agents seemed to have given up and tightened their grip, perhaps thinking that there was no other way.

“Hey, Director. Would it be okay for me to speak out about this matter I’ve been involved in?”

It was around that time.

A single voice split the crowd.

Then, for a moment, the shaking in the conference room subsided, and the intelligence agents who had their eyes closed cautiously opened them and turned their gaze to the direction from which the voice had come.

Gail Gavin also turned her gaze in the direction from which the voice had come.

“You?”

There was a man with black hair and blue eyes, his face pale, perhaps due to nervousness, and he looked like he was sick.

“Yes, my name is Garrett Roberts, the head of the East Asia 2nd Branch in charge of South Korea.”

“In charge of the Republic of Korea?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“If it’s the Republic of Korea, it must have been a country next to the Eastern Military Federation.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Gavin Gale thought about something for a moment at Garrett Roberts’ words, then nodded.

“Okay, then tell me.”

“Yes, thank you. Hmm. It’s just that… With the help of reliable sources, after investigating and cross-checking from various angles, the East Asia 2nd Branch succeeded in identifying the mastermind behind this incident.”

“The culprit?”

“Yes. That is the Eastern Military Alliance.”

As soon as permission was granted, Garrett Roberts jumped to his feet, cleared his throat, and then uttered a shocking statement.

And at that time, at the Holy Empire Intelligence Department meeting, the Eastern Military Alliance was being pointed out as the culprit.

“The reason why news of Lord Inazuma has been cut off is because of the conspiracy of the Holy Empire.”

Similar words echoed throughout the heart of the Donggun Alliance.
