Oramatic Bionics was a pharmaceutical company that researched technologies to reduce the side effects of genetic engineering. As such, most of its employees were white-collar workers, far removed from violence and crime.
This also applies to Daniel, a professional manager.
For him, who had walked the path of biotechnology since the moment he picked up a pen, the two big guys who barged into the president’s office were a burden.
The man who appeared, claiming to be a bodyguard, introduced himself as Tae-Yap, even though they looked like nothing but gangsters to anyone else.
Oramatic Bionics wasn’t a hole-in-the-wall store – the uninvited guest was so menacing that he could be politely turned away at the front door, but the news he brought was news.
“So, that Croft kid stole your company’s core technology?”
“Yes, that’s why I came here in person to make an official protest.”
The man’s argument was simply long-winded.
It was not that Daniel was unaware of his son Croft’s dark nature, but he trusted his reason more than that, and even more than that, his intellect.
“Is this what you are responsible for?”
“I wish you would bring me here yourself before we blush at each other.”
“Is there any evidence?”
“The fact that you ran away without even telling your family is proof of that. I understand you were away for quite some time. Am I mistaken?”
It was a gap created by the kidnapping by RYJ Company, but Tae-Yup used even that as his own.
It was a cunning trick, but Daniel, who didn’t know it, couldn’t help but keep quiet.
He had a vague idea that Croft’s whereabouts had been unknown while he was away on a business trip to attend a conference, but that didn’t mean that the windup wasn’t suspicious.
“I think it would be right to explain the circumstances that were leaked before.”
They haven’t even revealed what the patent is yet. How can they be so specific about Croft, a third party?
As long as the question remains unanswered, Tae-Yup’s claims are nothing more than one-sided nonsense.
“You really want to take the thorny path.”
Like father, like son?
Tae-yeop adopted a more forceful tone as he saw Daniel not losing his composure even when shaken.
“If you keep raising your head without even a word of apology, there’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to go ahead with forced execution.”
“Forced execution? As expected, the purpose isn’t to get the technology back.”
“That is the purpose.”
However, that technology is only human.
“You must find it and bring it before me, until I feel I have nothing more to take.”
“What are you trying to do?”
Tae-yeop stood up from his seat, turned his back, and added softly.
“Well, I’ll leave that to your imagination.”

The next day, the plant owned by Oramatic Bionics exploded. As it was a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, it was only a matter of time before hundreds of billions of dollars in damages occurred.
Moreover, considering the amount of goods delayed due to the accident, the amount could not even be calculated.
It was the first disaster since the company was founded, but the cause was surprisingly simple.
“… … A simple gas leak?”
Gaon, who came running after hearing the news, laughed in vain at the unexpected opinion of the fire department. In this day and age, it was almost a lie that gas could cause an explosion of this magnitude.
Daniel, who could guess the reason, could not help but bow his head in shame.
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t take enough precautions even though I knew a suspicious person was approaching. I never thought he would do something like this.”
“Suspicious person?”
“He called himself a spring.”
[Pharmaceutical company Hwaju]
Even though I only saw the business card, I could easily guess who had come and gone.
“A person who likes food… … His tastes are clear.”
The corners of Gaon’s mouth twitched and Daniel declared almost simultaneously.
“I’ll get it done somehow. I have a sheriff I know, and I have connections that can mobilize several prosecutors.
“Oh, it’s okay. I’ll make sure to take care of it.”
What more could he say in front of the Baekdu owner’s family? Daniel seemed moved by Gaon’s declaration that he would personally take their efforts into consideration and kept his mouth shut.

Of course, the treatment that Gaon spoke of was not that treatment.
“I was already worried about how to invade.”
I was embarrassed because you gave me an excuse.
It could be said that it was Clockwork’s fault for being so absorbed in Croft that he did not investigate who was protecting him. No, it could be that he did not feel the need to do so.
From the outside, Oramatic Bionics appears to be a separate company from Baekdu.
There are circumstances that suggest that it is a partner company, but in other words, it is clear that it is not an affiliate company – that is the reason why it is highly likely that it was set in motion.
They must have decided that they could crush a company that was just merging to become a mid-sized company with Ryungyoung’s power.
But that’s a choice where you know one thing and don’t know the other.
It was a misjudgment that I would never have made if I had known that the owner was Baekseol’s half-brother. The way was opened for Baekdu to formally protest to Ryungyoung.
No matter how promising Tae-Yap is as an executive, there’s no way he’d fight Megacorp for him.
The incident could be concluded with just one word: individual deviation.
‘Then it’s not fun.’
Gaon’s wish was that the wind-up would scream as much as Croft suffered and the plant exploded. He had also just heard an interesting story from Croft.
“To be elected as the next leader, you need to have a certain level of achievements.”
“Long Young is a thoroughgoing meritocrat. If you don’t have anything to prove, no one will follow you.”
Tae-Yeop seemed to be trying to train a human to challenge for the position of Yongdu, or the leader of Ryongyeong. It was understandable that he joined hands with Alpha Stroke. There would be no group more knowledgeable in bionics than them.
“I understand why that guy, or rather the people from Ryongyeong, are trying to expand so recklessly. It’s all just an attempt to solidify their position.”
“Yes, the companies are competitors. And they are not even comparable to water and oil. Only the top companies are like that. The lower companies probably don’t even know this fact.”
“Is that why Eden was not leaked?”
You can think of each company as a separate subsidiary. They are based on the parent company called Ryungyoung.
It goes without saying that they cannot reproduce the technology lost within RYL Company.
“That’s why we’re so focused on recruiting talented people.”
“Well, I kind of get it. What’s important to him.”
No matter what anyone says, Tae-yeop’s sore finger is RYJ Company. In any case, they had to clash at some point in order to dig up the consultant’s background.
In a way, it’s killing two birds with one stone.
All that remains is to take action.

The warehouse located in District 29 had the appearance of a pharmaceutical company. The landscaping was well maintained, and the employees walking around were ordinary.
But you shouldn’t be fooled by appearances.
Why would a criminal organization run a pharmaceutical company? It’s all to facilitate the supply of drugs.
It was not Gaon who did not know that the shipper was being used as a window to go to the shade.
But, hiding such feelings, when I go to the desk, a mysterious woman smiles faintly.
“How may I help you?”
“I want to meet the boss of this place.”
“Do you have an appointment with the boss? Please let me know and I’ll check the schedule.”
“I didn’t say anything in advance.”
“Then, according to the regulations, there is no choice… … .”
As the woman shows her discomfort, two men feel like they are trying to cling to her.
It wasn’t like Gaon came without a plan. Moreover, if it was District 29, wasn’t it a place where the title of 4th-grade assistant would shine?
As expected, the woman’s expression changed when I handed her my business card.
“ah.”
“Tell him I want to talk to him more closely.”
The woman glances back, as if she knows that the shipper is not an ordinary company.
It was then that the man who had been watching up until then took the lead.
“I will take care of it.”
Not long after being guided to the reception room, a man comes in.
A striped line across the face and a frame covering the trapezius muscles. The physique is ordinary, but the aura it gives off is that of a beast. There couldn’t be two people with these features.
“you……?”
“Have we met before?”
“Yeah, we met at the entrance of Oramatic Bionics. You said you worked there. Now that I think about it, I don’t think that’s true… … .”
The man sitting in his seat with a puzzled expression nodded.
“I guess I’ll get an answer anyway. So, where’s Croft?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“what?”
The expression of absurdity soon distorted into anger. Gaon changed the subject just before the spring exploded.
“I told you, I came here to talk more closely.”
“There’s no mention of Croft there. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a guy risk his life playing with words.”
If you attack Oramatic Bionics, you might think Croft will come out on his own, unable to withstand the pressure, but that’s just wishful thinking.
I could say that I fell for my own trick, as I was causing a ruckus without even knowing that there was a sinister snake in the bushes.
It was then that Tae-yeop took a cigar out of his bosom and opened his mouth.
“name.”
“Would you know if I said Baek Ga-on?”
“A fighting dog? You’re a fighting dog? Ha, President Daniel suffered a huge loss. I didn’t think he would try to turn against me.”
It’s not like I should beat him to death to make an example of him, but I couldn’t stand it that way. I’d just be showing off my power to someone who doesn’t even know the ins and outs of the industry.
“I don’t know what story you heard and why you accepted the request, but it’s an extremely personal matter. It’s entirely the fault of President Daniel. Outsiders, don’t get involved and get in trouble, and just get out.”
“Even so, don’t you think blowing up the plant is going too far?”
That was the point, I thought.
Tae-yeop smiled bitterly, but didn’t show it on the outside, thinking he knew why Daniel hired Ga-on.
“I don’t know what you mean by blowing it up. Yes, I heard that there was an accident on the way here. But it’s wrong to blame it on us. It was just an accidental accident.”
Phew, the smoke Tae-yup exhaled rose up in a puff and touched Ga-on’s face. Ga-on stared at Tae-yup without blinking.
“I admit it’s a coincidence, but we’re gentlemen, right? You can tell just by looking at the fact that we’re answering your questions one by one, even if you tore us to pieces.”
“If it were someone else, I would have accepted it, but I wish you wouldn’t do such nonsense in front of me.”
“You’re getting so worked up over useless things, do you think you’re the owner?”
“That’s right, I own it.”
“… … .”
Tae-yeop was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected remark.
