Chapter 46

Episode 46 [Visit]

It was already dark outside, but the special room of the general hospital was still brightly lit.

The owner of this special room was an old, strict-looking man. Although his energy seemed to have diminished considerably, his unique atmosphere still remained.

In front of the old man, a middle-aged man in a suit was reporting in a standing position.

“Even after I was discharged from the hospital, no one approached me in any special way. As they said, it seems to have been leaked or used for experiments.”

“Anyway, we only noticed it when people who received treatment came out overseas. “I just wish there was a little more string left...”

The chairman of Baeksan Group, an old man who occupies a special room alone, clicked his tongue at the middle-aged man’s words.

When news of a similar illness being cured overseas came through the company’s information network, the chairman was rather disappointed. This was because there was a greater possibility that the surveillance so far would be meaningless.

“sorry. “Let’s take a closer look.”

“It is done. It would be quicker to complain to a place called EV.” I

tried waiting longer, but as expected, it ended up being useless.

The chairman waved his hand and the middle-aged man stepped out of the hospital room.

Outside the hospital room were two bodyguards with strong physiques and a sharp-faced man with a sharp face. The man looked at him and said hello.

“Chief Ah, I think you can go back to your job now. “I think the Chairman will change his mind.”

The sharp-faced man’s eyes lit up at his words.

“All right. “Then shall we withdraw the children as well?”

“Slowly, we have to keep pace with other places. “A new order will be sent from the planning office soon, so please be prepared.”

“All right. “Chief Secretary.”

The middle-aged man left the hospital room while being greeted by three men. He would call me when I walked down the hallway.

“Mr. President, you told me a little while ago to stop tracking the new drug. It looks like you have given up to some extent. Yes, I understand. I will report on the rest when I come to work tomorrow.”

The hospital room was very dark because the chief secretary had turned off the lights when he left.

Chairman Ha Jeong-gil was unable to fall asleep even in a dark room.

Not only was he unable to sleep because of the pain that came from time to time, but it was also because he was disturbed to see his subordinates trying to transfer to another line while he was still fine.

‘Ha, you’re fine, aren’t you?’

The chairman laughed in the dark room.

Time passed. The night deepened. Chairman Ha, who had been unable to sleep, also fell asleep awkwardly.

The time when all patients were asleep.

puck. puck. puck.

Chairman Ha woke up from a light sleep to the dull sound outside the door.

When the chairman woke up, he saw the hospital room door open. Chairman Ha suddenly lost sleep.

Sigh.

Perhaps because it was night, the sound of the door opening could be clearly heard.

A man entered the hospital room through the open door, blocking the light from the hallway.

He opened the door and dragged the men who had fallen on the floor into the hospital room.

The Chairman’s eyes widened when he saw even Director Yoo being dragged away.

I don’t know about the other guards, but Chief Yoo was not the type of person to fall down in vain like this.

Whether Chairman Ha was surprised or not, the man who dragged the three unconscious men into the hospital room took out a rope from the backpack on his back, bound the three men, and gagged them.

After finishing his work, he turned on the light in the hospital room. It was a sturdy man wearing a mask.

Chairman Ha came to his senses, sat on the bed, and watched his actions.

Anyway, he came because he had something to do. If life had been targeted, there was no way things would have been this complicated.

The masked man saw that the chairman had woken up and took out a glass bottle from his pocket. It was a glass bottle filled with about a third of a clear liquid.

The chairman’s eyes were stuck in the glass bottle and would not come off.

The masked man placed the vial on the cabinet next to the bed. Only then was the chairman able to take his eyes off the glass bottle.

“You were looking for us?”

The masked man’s voice was very unique. I couldn’t tell their age, and I couldn’t feel their personality. Also, I wasn’t sure if the sound was coming from my mouth.

The moment the chairman saw the liquid in the glass bottle, he knew who the other person was.

The chairman looked at the three fallen men.

“And we’re bringing in new bodyguards. “This time, we’ll go with stronger guys.”

Chairman Ha hung up the phone and became lost in thought.

Just as his subordinates were trying to change ropes, he didn’t know if he would have to change ropes as well.

I thought it was prey and was drooling, but it looked like a tiger was sitting behind me.

I had to choose well. As if his own life depended on it, he didn’t know what the future of the company would be like.

However, the chairman put his worries aside and only smiled vaguely. A crisis was an opportunity, and before him was a choice that would change his future. And it was clear that tomorrow, or today, would be a completely different day from the lethargic days of the past.

The chairman stood next to the bed and waited for the morning sun to rise.

***

After leaving the hospital and changing out of his mask and outerwear in the park bathroom, Kyung-hoon put on his backpack and walked toward home.

“You avoided CCTV as much as possible, right?”

-Yes, you moved as close to the blind spot as possible, and even if you were caught, it is difficult to recognize the master’s movements with the CCTV quality at night. There is no need to worry about being tracked. The final finish was also clear. Kyung-hoon walked with a light heart.

But

Eve It seemed different

– it could have proceeded slowly. Threats accompanied by violence... It was a high-risk method.

“Negotiation, negotiation. And it ended well.”

-It’s not even completely finished yet.

Kyung-hoon chuckled at Eve’s point.

“There are times when you have to be bold when doing things. “Now was the time to stab me.”

-That part is still difficult for me to understand. I think we need to study more about humans.

Contrary to Eve’s answer, Eve was gradually becoming more like a human. Kyung-hoon could sense it from Eve’s answer.

Two days later, Kyung-hoon received a large amount of documents in his mailbox.

There was a lot of information in it, but the important thing right now was the information about the Awakened Association.

-Some conglomerates knew information about the Awakened people even before they were revealed.

This was something that could have been fully expected in Korea.

-It seems that the conglomerates were thinking of absorbing the Awakened people into the company in advance and were trying to disband or destroy the Awakened Association, which would become an obstacle.

-One of those plans is this mutant hunting demonstration. The idea was to cause an accident and cause the hunt to fail.

Kyung-hoon also smiled strangely when he saw the plan written on the screen.

“It looks like Chairman Ha’s company has stepped in deeper than expected.”

-This is a company ranked in the top 20 in the business world. When viewed from within Korea, it is not easy to ignore.

Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to obtain better data than expected.

Eve asked Kyung-hoon.

-Are you going to make this information public?

“No, I knew the operation in advance, so why would I reveal it? It would be difficult if I revealed it for no reason and then brought something else. I just have to stop it on the spot. – I thought the

owner would do that.

“That’s great. “I am increasingly understanding human psychology.”

-....It has nothing to do with human psychology.

It felt like I heard a sigh for the first time in a long time.

After receiving the data, Kyung-hoon sent Chairman Ha one-third of the promised potion.

The next day, he drove toward Namdo again. It was the 5th day as promised.

At that time, on the uninhabited island, members of the Awakening Association were lying on the floor cursing Kyung-hoon and Jin-hyuk.

“I’m dying.”

“Die, devil instructor.”

“The gas mask is bad!”

“You’re not an ordinary person. You fooled us.”

People were swearing at him, but Jinhyuk didn’t care at all.

He just made a perplexed expression as he looked back and forth between the fist-shaped rock and his fist.
