How to Live Immortally Episode 341
341 I’ll make it happen on my name.
At the same time, great strength is concentrated in the clenched fist.
Chewy!
The quality of the breath flowing out between my teeth changes. Its majesty, like a train about to run away – once it starts running, the only thing that can stop it is my will.
As the Queen unrolls the volume she had been holding, the compressed atmosphere turns the world red.
Kookbang!
The earth and the sky cried out in surprise.
All the alien species caught in the wind pressure hit the wall and explode.
In a clear and bright room, the only people present are the Queen and Ashutosh.
Ashutosh’s eyes widened as he witnessed decades of work evaporate in a single second.
As he was also a resident of the afterlife, he knew well what martial arts meant.
If there was any misjudgment, it was to that extent.
“Isn’t it for nothing that Ryungyoung is obsessed with relics of the past?”
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m just strong.”
As if to prove her point, the Queen wiped out all the alien species that Ashutosh had desperately tried to eradicate.
A supreme body that does not allow any external intrusion.
Ashutosh, who encountered a mystery comparable to that of the alien species, could not help but tremble at the thought that there might be another being that conformed to the hypothesis advocated by the Truth Mind Society.
But regret always comes too late.
Click, click.
The iron fist belches out a dry metallic sound.
A sign that there are no more alien species left.
The ending of the shooter who wasted his ammunition was determined.
“It’s sad. Technological advancements still can’t keep up with my growth.”
“Fuck… … .”
With a single sound, a hole the size of a watermelon is pierced through Ashutosh’s body. His eyes, once filled with light, become clouded.
It was then that a coin rolled out from his open arms.
Degururu, knock.
The queen looked down at the sign hanging at her feet and picked it up reflexively.
Of course, the Syndicate was not involved in this fight. It was just that the ‘client’ who hired them had a different side, so they had heard a lot about it.
The fact that he had previously confronted Gaon was also one of the tasks he had been given. So, at that time, there was no principal. On the contrary, it was even annoying.
But after the competition, I couldn’t help but change my mind. I became interested in the unmanned person named Gaon.
The expression “possessed by a ghost” is not enough to describe her mysterious swordsmanship and boundless physical abilities. And she is also skilled enough to know her limits and skillfully lead the flow of battle—a level that even the queen, who was praised as a genius when she was young, could not reach at that age.
If you sacrifice Gaon, your achievements that have been stagnant so far may advance.
But there was no way such a gem would fight without paying a price.
“If you have this, you can become a fighter.”
In order to win the proxy war, you had to destroy or retrieve all the tokens within the time limit. This meant that if you had the tokens, you would eventually encounter Gaon.
“Let’s have fun, buddy.”
The queen, holding the MTI token in her arms, smiled brightly like a child receiving a gift.

District 4, a safe house secretly purchased by Baekdu.
Baekseol and Gaon, who made that place their meeting place, shared the information they had gathered while working as soon as they met.
“So, you’re saying that they took the blueprints for a special purpose android? And by paralyzing communications? A third party unrelated to the proxy war?”
Snow White felt dizzy from the flood of unexpected variables. However, it was an inevitable instinct to also have doubts.
“Isn’t it too obvious? If you can put that much effort into it, you could have just smuggled it out without anyone knowing.”
“I think maybe he holds a grudge against me.”
“okay.”
Although it was a claim without an introduction or main body, Baekseol was convinced. At the moment, wasn’t Mastop either boiling or drying Gaon?
“Anyway, the size of the organization that can carry out such a thing is already set. If we eliminate them one by one, the outline will become apparent.”
“Yes, I will take responsibility for that and investigate it. I will have to get revenge on Sol-i.”
Now that we have a clear clue, the question of whether or not we can track down the culprit is a meaningless one.
The important thing was how quickly you could figure it out, because the benefits you could gain or the difficulty of avoiding risks would vary depending on the timing.
“By the way, Miss Snow, how are you? Is there anything else unusual?”
“There is one.”
Gaon sighed at the explanation that followed. The news that the Isabella Foundation was trying to add to the winning formula was something that even he could not have imagined.
What is most surprising is that Baekdu was designated as its representative.
“… …Chairman Olivia made that suggestion?”
“For some reason, I can’t help but feel a sense of inner intimacy towards you. I wonder ‘who’ you are and ‘how’ you are doing to make someone say something like that?”
His speech was incredibly bright, but his eyes weren’t smiling at all.
“I guess my virtue has shined.”
“I want to hear more about it. As an older sister, I’m very interested in my younger sibling’s relationships with friends.”
“Well, there’s no point in picking on it.”
“Haha, doesn’t that contradict what you just said?”
It was easy to guess that the person Olivia was talking about was Noah. She was the only person from the Riga clan that Gaon was close with.
But how can I confess that here?
It’s not like you can say that we became friends while fighting space pirates on a space cruiser.
Snow White quickly changes her expression and changes the subject, as if she doesn’t want to press the question too harshly.
“Anyway, if the backroom negotiations are concluded, you should know that the proxy war may end in another way. More importantly, this.”
Snow White hands over a coin.
It is a token assigned to the Isabella Foundation.
“Give it back to Director Olivia.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s not fair. If she really wants to worship Baekdu as a representative, then the presence or absence of a token doesn’t really matter. And if you just unilaterally accept it, then it’s not a healthy relationship.”
Degree and principle.
This was in line with the tolerance that Baekseol pursued.
“Are you saying that you’re going to pay off the debt in advance as a favor?”
“Haha, my little brother has a talent for saying strange things.”
Baekseol grabbed Gaon’s cheek and added calmly.
“And even if that doesn’t happen, I trust you.”
Gaon couldn’t help but laugh in vain as he suddenly remembered the promise they had made when the proxy war began.
“… … My sister has a talent for leaving people speechless.”
Gaon picked up the certificate and stood up from his seat.
Snow White was right. The proxy war had to be fought regardless of Olivia’s help.
“The next time we meet, I will be closer to victory.”
* * *
Olivia, who had laid the groundwork for victory, next visited Marstop. It was still early in the proxy war, and there were no companies with whom she had any grudges.
Except for one person, Blake.
For her plan to come to fruition, she first needed his tacit approval.
“… … So you’re saying we should support Baekdu and the rest should go away?”
“I think my choice of words is a bit rough compared to what I said before… … . Yes, I think you got the gist of it.”
Olivia’s strategy was sound and reasonable, but she could not accept Blake’s emotions regardless of reason.
“I have already declared war on Baekdu. If I stop just because I am afraid of my own bloodline, wouldn’t that make me look ridiculous?”
“Isn’t it the people who run without knowing when to stop that are truly funny? I think it might help me calm down if I remind myself again what it means to be here.”
“So if I just calm down, Baekdu will also be willing to reconcile?”
“I think it would be a meaningful combination from your perspective as well. Since Baekdu, who harmed Mastop, has shown his intention to personally take responsibility for the damage.”
It’s not wrong.
Three years later, Baekdu will have to pay a considerable price to select your Megacorp as a candidate for the board of directors.
“Can’t anything be more certain in business than that? Don’t you think so?”
Olivia was the one who was always logical, but Blake had something to say.
“But you’re acting like it’s a given that I’ll give you permission. What if I act like a jerk? Baekdu aside, what do you think will happen to you?”
Olivia, who hadn’t even been chosen as a fighter, had no choice but to dry up and die.
One, it’s not like Olivia didn’t have an exit strategy in place despite being so strong.
“Then I will leave the token to the most likely candidate and hope for mercy. Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage to not have selected a fighter then?”
He had already placed his bet on Baekdu, but Blake had no way of knowing that.
“How about we stop here? We’ve already shown Baekdu that Mastop is a formidable megacorp. Or are you going to fight Baekdu again after the proxy war ends?”
“There’s no way I can’t do it.”
Blake pretended to be strong, but it was the weak dog that barked loudly. Olivia could clearly see what he was worried about.
In fact, there was no one in the political world who did not know Blake’s sore spot.
“Then it will be certain that we will be overtaken by B&B.”
B&B, Mastop’s eternal rival.
Recently, they say that the management has worsened as they have handed over three broadcasting stations to them, and the weight difference has narrowed.
As expected, a sense of agitation is conveyed.
That’s when Olivia’s eyes drew a line.
“A victory with only scars now, or a victory without scars in three years. Of the two, the latter is clearly the one that comes out on top. If you can’t even discern this, you won’t be able to stay in the chairman’s position for long.”
If they refuse the carrot you offer, just whip them until they eat it.
The world called it training, but to Olivia it was no different from negotiation.
“Yeah, I guess I was wrong and couldn’t overcome my impulse.”
“then…….”
Before Olivia can do anything, Blake raises his hand to stop her.
“But let’s make one thing clear. If Baekdu refuses even once, this negotiation will be considered as never having happened.”
“I’ll put my name on it and make it happen.”
“Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
The place where Olivia left with a relieved expression.
Left alone, Blake’s lips twist. He’ll have to accept her offer.
First, after killing Gaon.
Blake was a greedy person by nature. Wasn’t it the result of his unwillingness to compromise even if it meant living or dying with B&B?
It was inevitable that I would be turned inside out if I told him to have just one.
Fortunately, it seemed like I wouldn’t have to endure it for long.
Because the fighter who would replace Gaon was waiting for the opportunity to come while his body was hot.
“Yes, if you stand up for justice even after losing your younger brother, I am willing to give in.”
