339 Let’s do it now
“If you want to catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den.”
If you can’t resist MTI, then just join them. After all, they’re busy collecting satellites. There must be countless deals being made every day. What if you get in between?
“Yours, let’s sell it.”
Gaon didn’t have one, but Dobby had his own personal satellite. That’s why we can have this conversation now, regardless of the massive communication outage.
Since Maximum Noise’s predecessor was a telecommunications company, MTI would not have refused to sell some of its know-how.
[Don’t talk nonsense, do you know how much this costs?!]
“I’ll pay the money instead. And considering MTI’s situation, there’s a good chance I’ll get it back.”
[No, even so]
“If you install a backdoor and use it to bypass it, it’s the same as not selling it. The satellite’s location doesn’t change, only the user changes. MTI will do a basic inspection, but your skills aren’t lacking enough to get caught up in that. Right?”
Gaon’s goal was the Trojan Horse.
If we go deep into MTI and examine the situation, we will be able to roughly infer their hidden weaknesses and the identity of the third force.
It’s literally killing two birds with one stone.
Due to Gaon’s continued persuasion, Dobi had no choice but to change his mind.
Burning hundreds of billions to peek inside Megacorp, what could be more foolish and reckless? You might not even get your initial investment back. But you can’t deny that it’s also interesting.
Dobby decided to follow his instincts, feeling like he was getting a dopamine rush after a long time. Why is his Lost Saga nickname the Paradise Maker?
It was because everyone lived in compliance with their impulsive tendencies.
[Let’s do it right now]
* * *
Amir, the chairman of Easy Road, went out after receiving a call from an unexpected person. With the proxy war going on, it was absurd for him to take the risk of meeting, but the other party was the other party.
After transferring several times on the Hyperloop and arriving at the meeting place, he was able to encounter eight prosthetic eyes reminiscent of spiders in a VIP room with all sides blocked off.
“My name is Maximus Quiet, Team Leader of NodeTech Risk Management Team 2.”
A gaze that never bends, unlike a polite tone.
Amir nodded as he checked the recognition tag implanted on the plastic business card. It had already been cross-checked before he came.
“Yeah, that’s a name I remember. I heard he’s called the Grim Reaper of Nodetech?”
Unlike Management Team 1, Management Team 2 is in charge of external security. In fact, it is closer to intelligence. As it is oriented towards the shadows―
“The fact that you’ve come forward means that this isn’t an ordinary agenda item.”
This was also the reason why Amir took heavy steps.
It was then that Maximus took out the canceller and placed it on the table.
“Officially or unofficially, this place never existed.”
“It’s scary, so what do you want to say?”
“You know that NodeTech recommended MTI.”
“Yes, you are the ones who granted them membership. But why?”
“That caused us a lot of trouble.”
I thought it was just a story about a proxy war, but what the heck, it was an unexpected complaint.
“You mean to say that your position on the board has been reduced? I’m sorry. But I have a three-inch nose. Isn’t it ridiculous for a mouse to worry about a cat?”
Maximus asks in front of Amir, who laughs blankly.
“Mr. Chairman, where do you think would be most affected if there was a communication outage?”
“That would be MTI. If they lose trust any further, the city government will be able to forcibly collect BH.”
If MTI loses the core of Quantum Communications, Able, it will be kicked out of its position as a megacorp on that day. It is no exaggeration to say that this accident puts them at the crossroads of their existence.
However, Maximus firmly denied Amir’s prediction.
“It’s not them, it’s us, Nodetech.”
It would not be a calculation of damages based on political dynamics. Without a justification, it would be nothing but a forced calculation.
Amir, who scratched his chin a few times, quickly noticed.
He was the most experienced of the candidates, but that did not mean he had deteriorated. His youth had disappeared, but his age had taken its place.
“Is it a device?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Nodetech’s main product is a device. A device is a terminal shared by humanity, and its computational speed comes from a large-scale cloud computing platform.
It goes without saying that the first thing that will be hit is when communications are paralyzed.
Problems triggered by MTI lead to degraded device performance.
It was only natural that many who experienced the inconvenience would question Nodetech’s initial response. In the end, they would surely ridicule and distrust their abilities.
It would have been an instant for the brand image to fall. And since it was an intangible asset, it wouldn’t have been easy to recover.
Is this what it means to get your foot struck by the axe you trusted?
Moreover, Nodetech could not directly criticize MTI, because it was they who pushed MTI.
The moment you confront them, you will be denying your own vision.
Either way, there was only a future where the lofty director’s prestige would be diminished. It was inevitable that the rage that could not be expressed would build up.
“That’s why we at Nodetech decided not to turn a blind eye to this.”
“Why are you giving that to me… … .”
Amir, who was about to continue his story, made a dejected expression. What could it mean that Nordtech had revealed his true intentions?
“So, since it would look ugly if we imposed direct sanctions, we’ll subcontract it out?”
Somehow, even when I pointed that out to Maxwell, he remained silent.
At that time, I thought he would let it go because his bond with MTI was so strong, but it seemed like he was harboring a grudge behind the scenes.
Well, I had no choice but to reconsider since MTI only offered a flipper even though they gave me a place to speak the truth.
Why don’t they know that something is wrong with BH?
MTI should have jumped at the chance when Nodetech gave it to them.
“By the way, do I, Easyroad, look like a servant of Nodetech?”
bang!
Amir bursts out in anger and slams his fist on the table.
“If you tell me to bark, I bark, and if you tell me to shut up, I shut up? This is really unpleasant. So doesn’t that mean I was the easiest candidate out of all of them?”
Even in the face of the wrath of the leader of Megacorp, Maximus did not lose his composure and carried out his duties as a messenger.
“That’s not wrong. But Chairman Maxwell appreciated that. The weakest also means the most desperate. Can’t variables only be created by those who are desperate?”
“… … .”
Amir shrugs his shoulders at the humiliation of crossing the line.
As it turned out, Maximus had a magic spell that could stop the epilepsy.
“Don’t you want to be a director?”
“move……?”
Amir, his mind flashing, stares at Maximus.
“how?”
“As I said, our goal is to prevent MTI from entering the board.”
“I must kill the fighter and destroy the token.”
“We will tell you where the MTI ownership certificate is located.”
Maximus spoke plainly, as if he was going with the flow, but Amir could not just sit by and watch. The board of directors, who had to maintain absolute neutrality in this proxy war―
“You can figure out the location of the token?”
Then wouldn’t the prerequisite itself change? It would be evidence that the board of directors can adjust the battlefield as they wish.
“I don’t think this will lead to the destruction of all candidates.”
“I can assure you that Easy Road will be the first and last to make an offer. Unless you reject it.”
“But dealing with MTI won’t end the proxy war.”
Maximus, as if he had been waiting, bends down and closes the distance between them as he hums.
“Every time you destroy a token, I will tell you where to find another token. If you don’t force yourself, you will continue to win easily.”
In an instant, eight eyes glow ominously.
As if asking for more is too much. As if asking for proof of at least the bare minimum of ability.
“… … .”
There weren’t many ways to gain an advantage in a proxy war. Since everyone was giving it their all, there wouldn’t be much of a difference in terms of force.
What was important was quality information.
But since he said he would supplement that part, it would have been foolish not to accept it. So, I didn’t hesitate for long.
“Please take good care of me.”
“You won’t regret it.”
* * *
Amir returned to headquarters and immediately began formulating a plan. Although he had received approval from Nordtech, there was still a task ahead.
‘Easy Road’s projection will be better than the projections of other candidates.’
This was an area that even Nodetech could not fill. It had to be overcome solely with the capabilities of Easyroad.
Fortunately, Amir had been preparing for an emergency even before the proxy war.
So, I could say for sure.
There will be no one stronger than the fighter he has chosen.
Long ago, since the beginning of the pioneering era, Easy Road had traveled every corner of Mars. The maps that Amir’s grandfather had made independently were full of rugged terrain and forbidden areas that even the Mars Defense Forces were unaware of.
Among them, there was a particularly strange place where an unknown ethnic minority lived.
A small village that even the Outriders ignore.
I thought I would never get to go there in my life, but coincidence happened unexpectedly.
The proof of this is that he was caught up in an unexpected super tornado and had to travel to a foreign land to find a way out.
Amir, who spent a few days there, discovered his destiny. He came to realize the identity of the vaguely described minority.
Yes. It was the moment when the rulers of transportation and transport became aware of the existence of the infected, namely metahumans.
* * *
After that, everything went smoothly.
Amir grew a village with no floating population into a colony, hid metahumans within it, and trained his own soldiers.
They developed supernatural abilities through various drugs and human experiments, and did not hesitate to use hypnosis and brainwashing when necessary.
As a result, the god of death was born, who could inflict fatal wounds without fail, and a beast that was not affected by science and technology.
In theory, there was virtually no target that this combination could not kill. Therefore, I had no doubt that it would be a sure victory even if it was released into the city. However―
“Who? Jose is dead?”
Amir had no choice but to put his hand on his forehead as the situation he had been secretly worried about came into view.
