Black Badger - Chapter 438



Only Noblemtl

438. Ambitious Mr. Money (1)

Hildebert looked at Eric Earhart and laughed for a long time.

It wasn’t a smile that looked pleasant.

I guess so.

You must not have been doing well. There must have been a lot of things that were irritating you. The suspended account, and the people who have been hanging around them lately.

And there are countless other things… .

Well, I was holding up well though.

Shashinsky was surprised that they held up better than expected.

Two months is quite a long time.

Falcon was more experienced in this type of warfare than anyone else. To be honest, anyone who had Colton Wiseman as their enemy would not have survived more than three days.

They commit suicide after suddenly falling into massive debt, or commit suicide after learning that a certain video has gone viral, or die in various suspicious ways.

There are many who can’t even find their bodies.

But Hildebert was alive and well, as expected, and his people were also well.

By his compatriots, he literally meant all the Titans within the Center Core.

For the past two months, Hildebert has found those who have been waiting for him.

He tracked down all the Titans who were living among humans and put them in his net.

Now, if even one of them dies suspiciously, Hildebert will draw his sword and pursue the culprit.

No, actually, the moment there was even a kidnapping attempt, it was over.

The moment you point your gun at the harmless Titan, your name is immediately added to Hildebert’s elimination list.

So now there are two people in power who died within two months.

One is an entertainment industry big shot who failed in his attempt to kidnap Okazaki, who runs a chain of Lexic Noodles.

The other is the second son of a wealthy family in Core 3 who failed in his attempt to take an aging old man hostage.

I heard that both of them were delivered to Falcon’s house, dead.

There have been no kidnapping attempts in recent weeks, but… .

“I got by just fine.”

The white-haired man put his glass of whiskey down on the bar.

“Something has been bothering me lately.”

“You mean the people loitering around your house?”

“yes.”

Eric walked over to stand next to Hildebert and leaned awkwardly against the bar.

Shashinski watched Hildebert place a glass of whiskey on the bar.

The man with golden eyes asked.

“Has the intelligence agency been completely eaten up?”

The corners of Eric’s mouth grew longer.

“As expected, you’re very resourceful. You can’t even move freely, so where do you get all that information?”

“I didn’t acquire it. I just scanned the traces of those hanging around. Fifty years later, not much has changed.”

“What kind of point?”

“They use surveillance equipment that is more expensive than that of the police, but unlike the police, they are obviously not civilians.”

Hildebert explained.

It wasn’t a voice full of enthusiasm.

“Unlike street crime syndicates, they also try to withdraw without leaving a single piece of trash behind.”

“Haha. There’s definitely that tendency. I quite like those employees who were abandoned by the organization while on a mission. They have their own unique charm.”

“In the past, there were still many sane people.”

“If you put one bad leader in place, the organization will fall apart in an instant.”

Eric answered with a smile.

The bookworm who had been putting a knife in the bar to create a psychological distance between people turned his head and snorted.

Igor frowns and two women listen to the conversation with blank expressions.

Only a blond man named Lin seemed uninterested in the conversation.

Hildebert sighed.

“Yes.”

Then, as if to gather his thoughts, he looked out into the empty space of the party venue for a moment and spoke.

“It must be the work of those who follow the intelligence agency director’s line. Most intelligence agency employees probably don’t know about the senior’s existence.”

“You are an ambitious person.”

Eric snapped his fingers without turning around.

Shashinsky placed the intelligence agency chief’s personnel file on top of his boss’s hands.

Eric Earhart glanced over the contents of the yellow manila file and handed it to Hildebert.

“He’s arrogant. But unfortunately, he’s not stupid. He’ll be a pain to get rid of.”

“Thank you for the information.”

Hildebert opened the file and looked at the data.

“Is this mansion also being used by Lee Ja-ga?”

“No. I told you. I said you’re ambitious.”

Shashinski also handed over the personnel records of other employees believed to be involved in the incident.

“He’s trying to hit you himself.”

Those around Hildebert straightened their backs.

Only the white-haired man did not look up from his greetings.

Instead, he handed the file he had read over to the librarian and picked up another file.

“The moment you cut off my neck, isn’t eternal life already a given? It’s less of a step than taking a hostage and threatening me. It seems like they’re trying to finish the job quickly.”

“It’s hot and good.”

Hildebert answered without raising his head.

“It’s much better than those who try to take hostages.”

“It seems like you’re considering several options. I heard that arresting and detaining you is one of them.”

“Oh, yes. A senior from that organization also heard the rumor and contacted me.”

That’s brave.

Eric let out an exclamation of “Wow,” perhaps thinking the same thing.

“Brave man.”

“yes.”

Hildebert sighed.

“I told you it would be best for you to pay attention, but you didn’t listen.”

Eric smiled broadly.

“He needs to be protected by Scar Owen.”

“Yes. I have already made a promise.”

“I’m telling you in advance that if you’re arrested in a crowded place, I won’t be able to prevent you from being taken away.”

“Oh, there’s no need to stop me.”

“Is there a need to make an effort to let it go?”

“No. I just ask that you take good care of our people while I am away.”

When Hildebert said this, he raised his head and looked straight at Eric.

Clear golden eyes.

“It’s as if you are protecting your own people on my behalf as I attend the party now.”

The corners of Eric’s mouth went up.

“So there aren’t many security guards around the mansion right now?”

The blond elder accepted Hildebert’s request in a soft voice.

“Put them all aside to protect your people.”

It was true.

And this fact grated Shashinsky’s nerves, but he could not bring himself to say anything.

Because every time this happened, I couldn’t refute the answers Hildebert gave.

The answer is, “I’m here, do you need more security?”

In fact, his answer was right. All the people they sent out combined could not defeat Hildebert alone. Those who wanted to gain eternal life also knew this fact well, so they usually did not dare to kill Hildebert outright.

But there are exceptions everywhere… .

Like the head of the intelligence agency that is a hot topic right now.

Even his name was unique.

Don Child.

I don’t think I’ll be able to live long… .

“By the way, are you all eating well?”

Was Hildebert bored with his head buried in the personnel file again?

Eric raised his head and looked around at those around him.

“Eat a lot and go. Take the rest with you. Not everyone has a lot of money in their bank account.”

“I’m eating and living well.”

“Still, eat a lot.”

As soon as the man named Igor started grumbling, Hildebert spoke without even raising his head.

It seemed like I answered half-reflexively.

“You have to eat when you can.”

Although these people give off an air of being difficult to approach, they sometimes show a strangely human side.

Do they resemble their boss?

Shashinsky looked on in amazement as the Titans began to babble about the available food and electricity bills.

A woman who was caught checking her balance by pressing the app and a bookworm who muttered that he had come to sell a work of art he had been putting off, and that he would have to find someone to do business with after the conversation was over.

Igor argues that if they run out of money, they can just hunt and gather food nearby.

Rose reaches for the file the librarian has read and covered.

“Rose. You shouldn’t try to kill everyone there unconditionally.”

Hildebert muttered without taking his eyes off the file.

“Just remember.”

“yes!”

The pharmaceutical company president’s wife had ruby ​​eyes shining.

“I’ll keep all the information in my head, Captain!”

Shashinsky met the blonde titan’s eyes, taking in the various reactions in his eyes.

A man who was staring at her without joining in the conversation.

His eyes drew a line.

‘This is it.’

Shashinski watched in bewilderment as the man called Lin spoke with only the shape of his mouth.

‘Let’s talk.’

I have nothing to say.

He was not even allowed to speak. Shashinsky gave his answer with his eyes.

Even if permission were granted, Shashinsky had no intention of becoming involved with the author.

A person Hildebert never thought he would bring.

Lin has only committed minor crimes in recent years, such as illegally selling creatures. However, back in the old days when Hildebert was out of sight, he was involved in crimes that would make even Shashinski stick out his tongue.

It’s best not to get involved.

He, Ravi, and Eric figured that Lynn still had a bunch of drugs she had smuggled from the cult somewhere.

Because the culprit of the incident where the drugs being transported by a cult were disguised as flour was Lin.

The drugs that disappeared at that time have not yet been released onto the market.

‘Have some food.’

Lin understood the answer given with her mouth wide open.

He shook his head as if he had no other choice, then shrugged his shoulders and looked away.

Chatter heard from the surroundings.

Eric left after talking to Hildebert about Choi Je-seok.

***

I’m tired.

I thought about it as I drove back.

Still, the intelligence agency director’s move to confront the issue head-on was quite welcome.

“Next time, you must come out before the captain, senior.”

“You do it.”

First of all, I like the idea of ​​arresting me.

What better way to assassinate your enemy than to be left alone in solitary confinement?

“And even if I came out first and sat in the driver’s seat, wouldn’t the captain have just carried me to the passenger seat or the back seat?”

“Hold the steering wheel and protect your seat! You’re stronger than me, so next time, you should take the driver’s seat.”

“Hey, what about my life?!”

If you lock me up, I will be grateful… .

“My life is not important?!”

“What could be more glorious than being able to die in your stead?”

Besides, I was already contemplating whether I should join the intelligence agency. They might have information that could help us catch the spies.

“If only I had the strength, I could sit in the driver’s seat and hold on! Ah, I need to work out harder.”

“Try it for a hundred days. Can you defeat the Sword Master with your own strength?”

“You can’t win either, senior?”

“Will it work?”

But since you invited me first, I was happy.

I don’t think they’ll arrest you when you go to headquarters to take the promotion test. There won’t be that many people there.

“How about giving it a try?”

It’s good, but I wish they would let me see Kairos’ test through to the end.

“Why does this kid get so stupid whenever he’s the captain?”

“Captain.”

And how do I calm Rose down when I get caught?

Lin must first confirm the location of the hidden drugs that she has been carrying, believing that no one will know about them.

Because the moment the intelligence agency smells drugs, things get tricky.

It was a moment when I was lost in such thoughts.

“A strange light is coming from above the building on the left… .”

He’s a sniper.

Taang!

The car window shattered and a hot pain shot through my shoulder.

I narrowly avoided the shot aimed at my heart, but I couldn’t completely avoid it.

Squeak!

I stepped on the accelerator and Rose pulled out her gun.

“Eww!”

At the same time, Lin started screaming.

“Eww! Eww! Shit!”

Tada dadadang!

Bullets rained down.
