#237, Potential Threat

Katrinan flinched and looked back at me.

“… … !”

“… … .”

A quite surprised expression.

There was no feeling of ‘how dare you?’

The shock of knowing that I was never below him,

Puzzling about my suddenly changed attitude,

And the confused feelings of not knowing how to react were revealed in their eyes.

In the first place, I was a lifesaver for Katrina.

They just took a low stance to reach a peaceful agreement.

Also, being polite to other clan lords was a service option, not a requirement.

“… hmm. There must be a reason why you hold back so much. “I will follow your words.”

Katrinan straightened his posture with some appropriate face-saving words.

Still, he is an intelligent being who knows grace.

I let go of his shoulder and smiled brightly.

“Well thought out.”

Okay, okay. I also don’t want to leave behind the memory of being stabbed by my in-laws.

“instead… “Can I decide where to go first?”

Tsk… .

How dare you put conditions on it?

“… “Where do you want to go?”

“I can feel the scent of sea water not far away. “I’m still not in good shape, so I hope you can stop by from there.”

“ah… “If that’s the case, that’s fine.”

It seems he caught the scent of the nearby East Sea.

‘Charybdis was a sea dragon, really… .’

It seemed like a good choice because it was a place with less people than anywhere else on earth.

“Then I’ll go and take a dip first.”

“yes. “I will follow you.”

After Katrina was launched to the east,

I watched Ha-seon Kwon’s new model for a while, and then caught up with Katrina.

***

“Phew… .”

Arriving at the underground cavity, Kwon Ha-seon saw that Han Seong-jun had already left and sighed deeply.

It’s a pity that I won’t be able to see you again,

I feel fortunate when I think about the heart that is encouraged without any hesitation.

In addition, he had complicated feelings, including the fact that he had no choice but to follow orders.

Ha-seon Kwon pulled out the radio and brought it to his mouth.

Chiik─.

“clear. “There is not a single hero in sight.”

Thump thump, thump thump─.

The steel mesh plates at the top of the shaft made a continuous sound and the members of the battalion fell into the basement.

This time, the head of the operations department also came down.

The head of the operations department approached Kwon Ha-seon, shining a light on this side of the cavity.

“… “How did this happen?”

“It looks like he’s already left.”

“no… Then, where did the guy called Dragon go?”

“yes… ? ah! uh? Uh… ?”

Ha-seon Kwon looked back and forth between the spot where the dragon was and the space above the shaft, with an expression of disbelief.

Because the dragon she saw was so large that it could never escape the tunnel.

Kwon Ha-seon was so focused on Han Seong-jun that he completely forgot about the existence of the dragon.

“Yeah, that’s right. “What happened?”

When she left here, Han Seongjun seemed to have already subdued the dragon.

Still, I don’t know why he threatened me to leave so quickly, but at least I wasn’t worried about Han Seong-jun’s safety.

‘Did Han Seongjun cut the body into pieces and move it?’

While Ha-seon Kwon was puzzled by something that he could not physically understand, the head of the operations department was deep in thought with a serious expression on his face.

Ha-seon Kwon misunderstood the expression on the head of the operations department and waved his hand.

“No, it’s true! There was really a dragon about 30 meters tall here? Ah, my body camera!”

Kwon Ha-seon looked around the floor and shouted.

“hey! Where is the smashed cam here? You too, find it quickly. Even a memory!”

All the battalion members who came down to the cave scattered like ants.

The operations manager, who was awakened from his thoughts by the chaotic movements of the superhuman soldiers, smiled bitterly and said.

“… “That’s not it.”

Kwon Ha-seon, who had been scanning the floor, raised his head and turned around.

“yes? “What do you mean?”

“It’s not because I don’t believe you. “If you brought it in, there must be a way to get out.”

“Yeah, right? Where is the secret passage… .”

“More than that.”

“… ?”

“If this happens, a hero’s position will be in trouble.”

“Why one hero?”

“Because the seahorse drug was stolen from our military again… .”

Kwon Ha-seon’s blinking eyes gradually widened.

“No, why is that… !”

“That’s not necessarily true. It’s a situation that can be seen that way. A hero who returned took the raw materials for seahorse medicine and disappeared… “It could be interpreted that he is following in his father’s footsteps.”

“… !”

“I thought about it when I came. “What do you think will happen when a hero returns?”

Ha-seon Kwon thought for a moment and opened his mouth.

“… … Seongjun Han is a hero to the world. He was just born as the child of a general… “They are two different people.”

It was a rational answer that completely excluded personal feelings.

The operations manager shook his head.

“I think the same thing. … But what about the higher-ups in the current military?”

“… … .”

“They won’t be very happy about the return of a hero. “You would think that General Han’s mistakes would be diluted just by his presence.”

“… so. Are you saying that you are going to somehow make a mistake in a hero?”

“Isn’t it obvious? The reform government has worked tirelessly to make General Han’s achievements negative. The reason I haven’t touched a single hero all this time… Because he was dead anyway.”

“If the higher-ups really make such a move, I… “You might get into an accident.”

Kwon Ha-seon, who spat out the words as if he were chewing, was startled and looked into the eyes of the head of the operations department and asked.

“But if you know my personality, why are you telling me this?”

“just… “I wanted to see your reaction.”

“… … .”

“If you judge your enemy’s child like that, then you are saying that a hero is a true hero. “He did not want to share in the vague fears of his superiors.”

“You said earlier that a soldier follows orders… .”

“I have to follow… . However, a soldier who compromises with injustice would not be the soldier that Captain Kwon wanted.”

Kwon Ha-seon, whose eyes widened when his father was mentioned, gathered his emotions and gave a silent salute.

“… then. “I’m going to violate your security.”

The Operations Manager said with a bitter smile.

“I shouldn’t know anything.”

“oh. okay.”

Ha-seon Kwon smiled sheepishly and tapped the screen.

East Sea.

To the southeast, Ulleungdo is not far away, on the open sea… .

I looked around at the horizon with a devastated face.

This is because Katrina, who threw herself into the seawater, has not surfaced for two hours.

Even when he went into the deep sea to the point where he lost his senses,

I thought it was just a matter of soaking in some water.

‘okay… Probably not… haha.’

How could I possibly think that the Dragon Lord would run away from me?

There is no way the sea dragon had an underwater accident.

It was nice to see water for the first time in a while, so I felt like time was flying by…

“ha. Fuck… In-laws, adults! “Why are you doing this to me?”

What was I so afraid of?

No. Did I swear or touch you?

Did you just roll your eyes a little?

Did that just hurt your pride?

I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack.

‘damn. Where do you go to find this? .’

Since we were already out of our senses, we had no way of predicting which direction Katrinan would have moved under the sea.

Either headed towards North or Japan,

Even if you went back and stepped on the East Sea or Gangneung, you wouldn’t know from here.

2 hours… .

If I had had the idea of ​​escaping from myself from the beginning, it would have taken me halfway around the world.

This is because the high-speed flight may have been performed outside of my senses.

‘no way… ‘You didn’t go to Kwon Ha-seon again, did you?’

It was a reasonable suspicion, but I quickly shook my head.

Even if they followed reluctantly, they are servants who keep their words.

“Fuck… . “You never promised to stay with me.”

… anyway. I thought that as long as the burden of this being my father’s world still remained, I would not do anything unreasonable.

‘okay… . Maybe he went straight to Rakvisha. ‘Because they said Maru was there.’

If that was the case, all they had to do was send him back before Katrinan searched the entire planet and noticed Maru’s absence.

I didn’t want to waste more time on things that didn’t have an answer, so I organized the situation in a positive way and thought of my next destination.

Pot!

I injected magic power into the teleportation ring and thought it was a mistake, but the surroundings had already changed.

A cafe street near Gyeongbokgung Palace.

“phew… .”

Of all the paths I have personally walked, this is the one that came to mind because it was closest to the Blue House, but instantaneous travel to a place with a lot of people is crazy.

But, looking at the regenerative ability confirmed through Katrinan, it doesn’t seem to matter if there is a little bit of amputation.

anyway… , Perhaps because it was a weekday, there were fewer people walking around than expected.

~Ji-ing, ji-ing, ji-ing.

At that time, the watch suddenly started buzzing like crazy.

“what… . “Didn’t it explode earlier?”

All messages that are covered one after another are catch calls.

‘I don’t know you?’

The messages were mixed.

(010-2X4X-533X)

This is the message Ha-seon Kwon wanted to convey.

———————–

Tell it to Han Seongjun.

Be careful because the military is targeting you.

Perhaps the current government may not welcome it.

Can you contact your sister?

———————–

‘uh… ‘It’s Ivy.’

Earlier, I searched the device to send the address of Rioja Farm, but did not save it.

How did Kwon Ha-seon know that Ivy and I were in contact?

… I guess I got caught just then. Tsk.

‘… ‘But are you targeting me?’

Since I also met the site manager there, a report must have already been sent to the higher-ups.

“Are you saying you see me as a potential threat?”

what… Does not matter.

Because I was already trying to find out about this and that.

I looked back and forth for a moment to make sure no one was looking, and then flew toward the blue tile house.

***

An old man with a sharp expression shook hands with Ga Guk-hyeon and sat down.

“They said they haven’t found it yet.”

Ga Guk-hyeon responded with a confused expression.

“You must have heard the report directly from Director Jin… “What are you doing here?”

Jugaekjeondo.

The old man who acted as if he was sitting at the head of the table even in front of the president was Lee Geum-hwan, former chairman of Shinsung Group.

“Anyway, it is true that General Han has reappeared, so we should prepare quickly.”

“What preparations… “You mean?”

“Up until now, we didn’t know where he was dead or alive, so it was enough to just fix some flaws, but now we have to prepare for him to move again. “Wouldn’t it be necessary to properly define them as enemies of the state so that there is no disruption to an immediate and clear response?”

Ga Guk-hyeon frowned.

“So far… “Have you not taken care of it yourself?”

“It did. So, I think it’s time for our president to give Hwaryong a rating. “Why don’t you give a speech to the public?”

“… … “I have no intention of saying anything different from what I mean.”

Lee Geum-hwan laughed and said.

“Just read.”

“I am not your puppet.”

“The first lady has already received the payment.”

“… … .”

Ga Guk-hyeon bit his lip.

They fell into the trap and tens of billions of dollars were spent in the name of the wife who knew nothing.

“I also know that your son is the CEO of Kai Auction. Even if you don’t want to… If you grit your teeth alone, your family won’t be polluted. “Well, stop talking about this.”

smart.

“someone?”

Although this was the President’s office, the voice greeting other guests was also Lee Geum-hwan’s.

-This is the Chief Secretary.

“Please come in.”

Crash.

The chief secretary bowed to Lee Geum-hwan and said,

“This is information that just came in through the Ministry of National Defense. I lost track of him, so I’m still checking the authenticity… , It is said that hero Han Seong-jun is alive.”

“how… !”

Lee Geum-hwan opened his eyes and jumped up from his seat.

“Well, that’s not yet… .”

Lee Geum-hwan shook his head and his bloodshot feet appeared as if he wasn’t trying to hear an answer.

“We must catch him at all costs! We do it before the public finds out! Tell them to appoint the Minister of Defense immediately. Director Jin too. Even the guard captain!”

“Yes, yes! Okay… uh!”

“what?”

“No, over there!”

The chief secretary pointed behind Lee Geum-hwan with a face that looked like he was about to foam at the mouth.

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the window.
