How a Calamity Necromancer Retires - How a Calamity Necromancer Retires chapter 99
A strategy to obtain support from Bugs instead of remaining as a friendly majority shareholder by buying shares of companies whose management rights are unstable due to the small number of shares on the management side, such as Bugs.
This strategy worked well and eventually succeeded in dismissing Kim Won-cheol at the general shareholders’ meeting.
Of course, Kim Won-cheol still took advantage of being the largest shareholder with a 17 percent stake to somehow sneak a chance to counterattack, but the major shareholders, who intuited that the trend had already passed, joined one by one, and in the end, Kim Won-cheol could not even attempt a counterattack.
“Bucks stock is down a lot. I buy it slowly.”
In this way, the management rights of Bugs are handed over to Saeron, and while the stock is stabilizing, the stock price of Bugs, which has risen steeply, declines rapidly.
That would be the case, because now the stock price of Bucks was at an absurd level, which rose due to the dispute between me and Kim Won-cheol over management rights.
I instructed me to slowly buy up the stocks of Bugs, which were finding their place, and to continuously increase the stake.
“I understand, Chairman.”
I said looking at Kim Deok-bae.
“Vice president, you worked hard.”
Although he holds the position of vice chairman, Deokbae Kim’s nickname within the group is Chief Secretary.
It’s the vice chairman who is good at talking, but in fact, the way Kim Deok-bae handles it on his own when I give orders is fixed.
But what can I do?
It’s a big deal, I make decisions, but I can’t take care of the small details, right?
So, Vice Chairman Kim Deok-bae has no choice but to play the role of taking care of the group’s internal affairs on behalf of me.
“I just did what I had to do.”
“We’re going to have a bonus party soon, so look forward to it.”
“hahahaha. thank you.”
I said with a bright smile.
“Anyway, introduce skeleton delivery to Bugs now. Of course, there must be a difference between Formie and Formie, right? Leave formi PB products handled only by formi, and apply only skeleton delivery. Even the events are centered on formies.”
“What about garbage service?”
“As for the garbage service… well, it just does everything. It’s a little too openly discriminated against.”
Anyway, as long as the majority shareholder is already over the majority, there will be no problems with management rights, so I will go with two systems like Bugs and Formie.
I said with a bright smile.
“ruler. Then, I must have eaten Bucks, shall we go?”
*
Skeleton ships introduced in Bugs.
Thanks to this, skeleton delivery has become a more common service.
I received the goods quickly, and in addition to that, the skeleton throws away the trash instead.
As skeleton delivery became commonplace, the share of the coalition that could not keep up with this service naturally began to decline significantly.
As the number of people using skeleton delivery increased, those who used the association’s site had no choice but to feel uncomfortable.
At that time, when the Union’s share continued to decline, it began to receive blows from Formie and Bugs in other places.
Those are the big supermarkets.
“Did sales at large marts drop?”
“yes.”
From the beginning, due to the vitalization of Internet commerce companies, large marts operated by existing logistics giants have been hit.
That’s why large marts have been responding by jumping into the Internet commerce market, but as Bugs and Formie push everything out and start to dominate, the blow is inevitable.
“In particular, the impact of the garbage service was great. Consumers accustomed to garbage service purchase products from us even to throw away the garbage, so the number of visits to large marts naturally decreases.”
“It’s fun.”
“What should I do?”
“What can we do, we just do our job.”
Crisis of hypermarkets?
Fun, but not my interest.
In the first place, even before the appearance of Seron, weren’t large marts suffering from a crisis due to being pushed by Internet commerce companies?
Besides, no matter how much Bugs and Formie absorb the market share, large marts that have the original fun of seeing and choosing products on the spot will somehow survive even if sales decrease.
Perhaps in the future, when purchasing food materials in bulk, you will use marts, and purchasing small amounts of consumer goods will be completely settled by using Formie and Bugs.
“Isn’t it better to go to the mart because it’s better for customers to choose and buy things themselves, even if it’s annoying? Even if the business areas overlap, there will be no major problems.”
“All right.”
“Anyway, that’s it, shall we try to improve profitability?”
In the meantime, in order to compete with Bucks, I have put up the lowest price, and in fact, Formiro has not made a single penny.
However, the situation has changed now that skeleton delivery has been fully established and has penetrated into people’s daily lives.
“Let’s raise the price little by little, and after a while, let’s also raise the membership fee.”
Even if we keep the price similar to the Union, people will never get away from the Skeleton Delivery and its services.
“I will give instructions to improve profitability.”
After all, this is why it is important to monopolize the market?
Once you dominate the market, there are plenty of corners to make money from then on.
“great. Then the next report…”
Just as I was talking with Deokbae Kim, I got a call on my cell phone.
The person who called was Lee Jin-young of the Gate Management Agency.
I said with a smile.
“It’s been a while since I’ve contacted you.”
I haven’t contacted you recently because there aren’t many projects to cooperate with the government.
It’s amazing.
“yes. I got a call…”
I answered the phone without thinking, and Lee Jin-young said in an urgent voice.
-President! An unstable gate has appeared in Japan!
It is the unstable gate that causes the most casualties because it immediately vomits monsters that appear without a critical point.
However, since the frequency of occurrence is not high, it is common for countries that have a well-established response system to prevent major damage, but the fact that Jinyoung Lee contacted them in such a hurry…
“Could it be undead?”
-you’re right!
I said with a firm expression.
“What about the grade?”
– Undecided. The strength of each individual is very different, and there are many of them, so the Japanese government has not been able to classify them.
Anxiety creeps in.
“Do you have any photos or videos?”
-I’ll send it straight to your mail right now!
I checked the photos and videos in the mail sent from Lee Jin-young.
I jumped up from the spot and cried out.
“Right!?”
Undead lined up in an orderly manner in the city center.
I could tell at a glance who they were.
That’s Seron’s undead army.
Since it first appeared, it had never appeared, so I expected it to be the first and last time, but it wasn’t.
‘This crazy. Are there SS Death Knights?’
Unlike the Earth’s Death Knights, which have a skeleton appearance, the SS Death Knights are armed with rotten skin and black armor.
This Death Knight of the Royal Guard was a Death Knight made using the strong men of Seron, and was SS-class or higher in terms of strength.
However, there are as many as 4 SS Death Knights.
There are even more than 50 Death Knights following the Death Knights of the SS, and an estimated over 1,000 undead of other common soldiers, and they appeared in the middle of the city?
I said to Deokbae Kim.
“The flight right now… no, the flight is too late. Anyway, I think I should go to Japan, right? Take care of yourself, please!”
*
“Ouch!”
Nakamura, a Japanese SS-class Awakener who was attacked by an undead monster and pinned to a building, said while bleeding.
“This is crazy.”
When over a thousand undead monsters first appeared in the middle of the city, no one was worried.
Originally, the higher the gate, the fewer monsters appear, so people who expected more than 1,000 monsters to be F or E, of course.
However, the emergency response teams that went to deal with those monsters were quickly shattered, and the surrounding citizens began to die in droves.
Surprised, the Japanese government immediately asked several middle-level guilds to handle it, but even those middle-level guilds were quickly divided, and now even the highest-level guilds with SS-level awakening as guild leaders have been mobilized.
However, even the top-level guilds started to be destroyed by the undead.
Especially the 4 undead wearing black armor at the forefront.
This 4th season was the first monster that Nakamura met even after catching countless monsters.
Six out of 11 SS-class Awakeners in Japan were mobilized, but in the battle with those 4 machines, two people lost their lives after being pushed helplessly.
Nakamura said into the walkie-talkie with a pale, tired expression.
“This is Nakamura.”
Then, the voice of the head of the Japan Gate Management Agency came from the radio.
– How is the situation?
“It’s the worst. We must evict all citizens and retreat.”
-What kind of small grain is that! This is a city of half a million people! There is no way the eviction work will be done so soon…
Nakamura, who was angry at the commissioner for talking without even knowing the situation at the site, screamed.
“Two SS class members have already lost their lives! If this happens, it means annihilation!”
At that, the Commissioner was astonished and said.
-SS class… two people?
“We must retreat now. Or we are all annihilated.”
-Well, then how do you stop them? I’m moving on!
Nakamura said as he looked at the SS ranks who were preparing to retreat by gathering the surviving guild members.
“There are two ways. Either summon the Awoken on a large scale and push them in numbers, or receive large-scale support from other countries’ SS class.”
Both are methods that cannot be acted upon right now.
Finally, the chief, who was silent, spoke.
-Retreat first, as we cannot lose valuable talent. We will issue an eviction order to the residents.
“thank you.”
After finishing the radio, Nakamura said.
“I said I’d retreat… but there’s no way they’ll let you go, right?”
They were so intelligent that they couldn’t believe they were undead.
As if they knew that the retreating enemy was the easiest to defeat, the undead slaughter the Awakeners by burrowing into that point like ghosts the moment they showed an opening.
It was clear that the awakeners would pursue and massacre the awakeners the moment they retreated.
If that’s the case, someone has to step in and secure an escape route for the Awoken.
Nakamura said with a smile.
“This is my grave.”
Determined, Nakamura shouted as she jumped off the building.
“The residents will be evicted! We are also ordered to retreat!”
The moment when the Awakeners, terrified by those words, were about to retreat with admiration.
“But the moment we retreat, they will hunt us down! Isn’t it too miserable for us who have been hunting monsters for so long to be hunted by monsters?!”
Nakamura shouted loudly.
“I’ll stay here as a group and block their pursuit, and I’ll take the time I can! Is there anyone who wants to join me!”
At Nakamura’s cry, several Awoken people spoke with a look of abandon.
“sh*t. I couldn’t even say goodbye to my wife.”
“ha. The guild leader stepped in, but I can’t be left out. I will stay too.”
When the death squad was recruited, who virtually gave up their lives, Nakamura said with a smile.
“Sorry for dragging you in. But if we don’t, more people will lose their lives. Still, I promise you this one thing. Japan will remember us as heroes.”
“If it wasn’t worth it, I wouldn’t have ventured out.”
At that time, an SS-class Awakener approached and said.
“Nakamura…”
That person is Nakamura’s rival, a famous SS-class Awakener.
“There is no time, so retreat quickly.”
“…it won’t last long.”
“know. But you know my ability. Of the remaining SS ranks, I’m sure I’ll last the longest, right? I’ll lure you away as much as possible, so go ahead, there’s no time.”
Then the SS-class Awakener hesitated and said.
“···thanks. If, really, if you come out alive… let’s have a drink.”
At that, Nakamura smiled and said.
“okay. If there is a chance.”
So, Nakamura, who led the death squad, shouted.
“Make the most of your time! Until people can evacuate!”
*
Nakamura, who had lost an eye and a leg, gasped for breath.
“Still, this is a success.”
Nakamura and the remaining 100 members of the death squad used the complex terrain unique to the city to lure the undead army and do their best to stop their advance.
In particular, Nakamura succeeded in turning off time by luring four monster undead by actively utilizing his super-speed ability, which allows him to move so fast that he cannot be seen.
Of course, in return, all the members of the death squad died and Nakamura lost one leg and one eye, but in return, he was able to gain 30 minutes of valuable time.
Nakamura said, lifting the radio with a trembling hand.
“How was the retreat?”
-···They all succeeded in retreating. Thanks to buying time, residents are moving out smoothly. There’s no one around anymore.
“That’s good.”
– If you can escape even now, run away quickly.
At the Commissioner’s words, Nakamura looked at his severed leg and said.
“Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case. A leg was blown off.”
-···Kuk.
“Tell him that you’re sorry that you won’t be able to keep your promise to have a drink. Instead, if you are grateful to me, please take good care of our remaining guild members and family…”
At that time, Nakamura’s rival may have stolen the radio from the Commissioner, but the rival’s voice is heard.
-···I take responsibility. I promise to give my all I will take care of you like my own family.
“okay. Let me ask you a favor.”
At that time, Nakamura saw a monstrous monster walking towards him.
“ah. Looks like it’s over here.”
-···You are a hero. A hero who saved many people’s lives.
“Not only me, but all remaining members of the Order are heroes.”
-Of course.
“Anyway, believe me.”
After that, Nakamura threw down the radio and stood up with a trembling hand using a sword as a staff.
“I’m here? Still, I can’t die peacefully. ruler!”
said Nakamura, barely balancing on one leg and raising his sword.
“Come on! I can’t decide the date I will die, but I can decide what I will look like when I die!”
That moment when I was prepared to die and raised my sword.
Boo woo woo!
A roar reverberates in the sky, as if an airplane were flying.
“uh?”
Nakamura looked up at the sky at the sound.
And Nakamura saw.
I saw a young man in a suit flying towards me at breakneck speed.
“for a moment. Where did you see the face… huh? Han Ji-hyeok?”
Nakamura, who was interested in Korea enough to learn Korean separately, immediately recognized it.
The identity of the person flying in is Han Ji-hyeok, the chairman of the Seron Group and Korea’s 6th SS rank.
Nakamura shouted in broken Korean.
“Run away now! Too strong!”
However, Han Ji-hyeok came down from the sky and landed without paying attention to such a cry.
Han Ji-hyeok looked at Nakamura and said.
“Do you speak Korean?”
“little. run away quickly too strong.”
“Run away and be considerate. You are a good person. Then you can’t run away any longer.”
Then, Han Ji-hyeok turned his head to see the corpses of people lying around.
“…a lot has died.”
Han Ji-hyeok looked at the undead monster with a sad expression and said.
“Guys, why did you do that? disappointingly.”
Jihyeok Han slowly raises his hand.
“Yeah, what. What do you guys think? I’m just doing what I do. can’t you stop don’t worry.”
And as the subspace opens, countless skeletons of Han Ji-hyeok pour out.
Han Ji-hyeok said with a cold, hard expression.
“Because I will stop it myself.”
