How to Live as an Immortal - Chapter 357

It’s like 357 SM Club

[As I said]

If you are a messenger of Nodetech, there is no reason to lie. But―

“Why should I believe it?”

It can’t be entirely correct information. The fact that the board of directors, which is not a charity, is stepping forward to find out the truth means that they expect a return on that.

It was easy to predict what it was.

I guess he wants to run wild.

It was an obvious trick, but it was clear that the trick worked. Reason was screaming that I shouldn’t get involved, but my emotions were already running to extremes.

[You don’t have to believe me. I just wanted to let you know that the board is working hard to calm the chaos.]

“Your whining is so excessive that it feels insulting. Was it Maximus? If you act like a master when you’re a servant, you’ll end up losing.”

[Don’t get excited. That is, I am informing you that I am prepared to cover it up somehow if Chairman Alexander becomes a ‘director’]

It was a promise close to an empty promise. Even if it was the board of directors, it would not be possible to carelessly cover up MTI’s failures unless they could recover the stolen BH.

no-

At that moment, Alexander’s eyes lit up as a creepy thought occurred to him.

If you look closely, there are only a very small number of people who know BH’s location. Among them was the board of directors.

“You guys, you know who the syndicate is.”

[… … .]

“Hahaha, these fucking kids.”

When the discomfort reaches a critical point, it becomes pleasant.

I could see why the board of directors didn’t scold him for the communication paralysis. And why they were trying so hard to prevent the disaster caused by Gaon on such a topic.

The former was a controllable constant, the latter an uncontrollable variable.

The difference is so subtle that the soldiers on the long board won’t even notice it.

“Okay, so it’s set.”

[then…….]

“Tell him clearly. If I become the director, I will definitely take one of you with me, even if I can’t.”

Stop.

Alexander, who had just ended the call, clenched his teeth. Even if he complained that he had been tricked, he would only end up making himself look ridiculous.

First of all, dealing with Gaon will be the priority.

When Mastop heard the truth, he contacted him closely to clear up the misunderstanding, but the newly inaugurated chairman, Northon, did not listen.

No, rather, he consistently pretended not to know.

The conclusion was that it would be better for the deceased’s reputation and his own achievements to be known as the death of another Megacorp chairman rather than a mere troubleshooter.

In this way, the united front was blocked by extremely political reasons even before it was established.

“Okay, let’s see it through to the end.”

Alexander called the people waiting outside and estimated the company’s reserves. Then he made a decision to save the country.

“Can we put up a bounty on our side too?”

“Yes, we are aware of all the routes that have been made public.”

“I’ll bet a little too much. Enough to spread the word to everyone in the seed colony.”

Alexander also knows full well that Gaon is strong.

But you can’t defeat ten with one hand. Why did Megacorp have to suffer in vain during the 666 incident?

It all fell apart because of tactics.

It was a shameful history that he wanted to forget, but this time, Alexander decided to live up to the experience.

“Tugwi, Baek Ga-on. Tell the person who brings me the guy’s head that I will pay 100 billion won, and if they recover the token, I will pay 300 billion won. The deadline is today.”

The largest bounty ever offered to an individual.

“Go and tell them. The dream of making a fortune overnight is not far away.”

“all right.”

I have no regrets about bringing about a second 666 incident. I simply made the best choice.

Alexander suddenly looked out the window and closed his eyes.

Before long, all kinds of people will flock to you like clouds at the smell of money.

If a money-crazy ghost and a fighting-crazy ghost collide, who will win?

* * *

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to fulfill my calling.”

“It’s nothing.”

After the press conference, Victor bowed and thanked Aimee.

If it weren’t for the unexpected visitor, he would have remained loyal to Alexander without knowing the truth.

Well, it did feel a bit odd.

Why would the culprit who stole BH launch a DDoS attack? It would only draw attention to his actions by revealing them.

“Surely I would never have thought that a chairman would eat up his own company to avoid responsibility.”

Indeed, it was a heartbreaking experience.

“But it’s unexpected. No matter how disappointed I was, I didn’t think you would come out like this.”

“Someone had to do it anyway.”

Even without Alexander, MTI had been complacent and had been operating recklessly since he came to power. What if he was lucky enough to become a director?

Needless to say, the citizens would have to bear the full brunt of the damage.

“Now, this is your ticket to the Root Colony.”

One of the five major colonies on Mars, similar to the Seed Colony.

There was a large transportation network there.

“It’s up to you where you want to go.”

Since there were a lot of floating populations, if they moved using the root colony as a stepping stone, MTI would not be able to track them easily.

“I only receive help until the end.”

“Then let’s never meet again.”

The smile on Aimer’s lips disappeared as she saw Victor off. In the meantime, he touched his forehead to the attached file that had been sent.

“Our master orders people around too much.”

* * *

He has a secret weapon called Jin Geon, but he can only turn it around if he returns to the Seed Colony. It is still too early to come to the forefront.

In the first place, one must have the qualifications to become a director even if the board of directors does not want one.

Even if Jin Geon keeps them in check, if the evidence is not collected, the proxy war itself may be lost.

It is absurd that even after stirring things up here and there, Snow White cannot become the director.

Gaon, who got off the Griffin, moved his steps.

Who holds the final clue?

Maximus seemed to have declared that he couldn’t figure it out, but Gaon had two of the person in question’s devices. One was Fermat, and the other was Banzino.

It goes without saying that if we retrace their steps, we will find some clues.

But the common denominator was not easily found.

First of all, Fermat. He was the one who rode the hyperloop all the way across the seed colony as soon as the proxy war started.

There was virtually no place the bastard hadn’t set foot on.

This is also the case with Banjino.

His movements as an executive of the syndicate were extremely bizarre. He often did meaningless things to avoid being caught in his own unique pattern.

Some stayed in public places for hours, while others wandered aimlessly through alleyways.

Moreover, there are places that have been used as bases by stealing the name of a waste disposal site, so there are hundreds of suspicious sections.

Even if I had ten bodies, it wouldn’t be enough, and that was why I had Aimer run around sending information.

“How is the sky?”

[Patrol drones will be noisy whenever you fly low to avoid cover, but other than that, it’s fine overall]

Shirley’s exceptional eyesight was a huge advantage in searches, so in some ways, it could be said that she had the widest radius of activity.

“Then thank you for your hard work.”

How much time has passed?

The three of them formed a triangle and gradually reduced the area, and the outline of the expected location seemed to emerge.

‘… … Pheromone?’

My guess became certain after the scent of a species that I thought had been cut off entered the realm of the mandala.

Gaon threw himself into a tunnel whose entrance and exit were vague.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

Fermat reached Sushant by following the Isabella Foundation’s token, not MTI’s.

Differences that may seem trivial should not be overlooked.

At first glance, it seems like they are using the lost Isabella Foundation token as a compass, not knowing who the suspect is―

‘Fermat already knew that MTI had no tokens before.’

This is probably why Sushant didn’t immediately destroy the Isabella Foundation token.

It didn’t seem like he had other plans though. You could tell just by looking at the pheromones he was dripping down.

Judging by the semi-permanent reverberation, it seems to be used for tracking. The target must be an MTI token.

I could confirm that I had hit the nail on the head when I followed the pheromone down 200 meters underground.

What came into view were personnel standing guard in a passage that couldn’t even be called a road.

There was no hierarchy or order, but the experience seemed rich.

Needless to say, he was from the underworld. Gaon quickly subdued the villains and had a brief interview.

“A trick? Oh, I never thought you’d come all the way here. But even that kind of luck will come to an end. If the Queen finds out, you’ll be dead.”

“… … .”

“Didn’t you hear? Then I’ll say it again. You will be a dog that is worse than a scrubber in front of our queen.”

“Shut up. When you say it like that, it sounds like an SM club.”

After a deep conversation, Gaon found out that they were part of the Syndicate and felt like the puzzle pieces were falling into place in his head.

“Is that why you boasted that it couldn’t be found?”

It was an unexpected opponent. However, it was not that I did not understand the cause and effect. No, now that I look at it, it seems like everything was connected.

“Yeah, that’s what happened.”

Gaon, who laughed hollowly, got up from his seat and ran. He also beheaded the young men who fell like rocks at every stop along his way.

Since everything is closely connected, as the number of processes increases, the path also becomes clearer.

That’s when the outside world appeared.

“Dobby, do you know where this is?”

[Wait a minute, there doesn’t seem to be anything on the map. I think someone erased it on purpose.]

The only places where such large-scale information manipulation is possible are the board of directors, the city government, and the Mars Defense Forces.

There was no way such a huge underground base could be controlled without any reason.

“Look through the old data. It was revised before the seed colony became a seed colony.”

No matter how thoroughly you hide it, the resources and equipment used to build the colony cannot be hidden.

[Oh, I found it. I looked through the blueprints saved when the Pioneer began, and there are parts that match the path you took.]
