RUST -106

The helicopter is ready for takeoff.

Kim Yang brought four bags larger than her torso in a handcart, each packed with various items. Ki Sun also brought two carrier bags filled with various medicines.

“What is the pilot going to do?”

“What should I do?”

Maru slowly held out his sword to the side.

“Just cut it?”

“then?”

Ki-sun was speechless at Maru’s question. No, he was just going to cut her down right away? I thought she was becoming more human, but she came in like this?

“If you think about it, it’s not like you betrayed us?”

“It’s true that he betrayed us, it’s like Director Choi brought a monster, so if you think about it, it’s true that he betrayed us···.”

No. Why is the story going that way? Anyway, since I brought him back alive, it would have been too ignorant to just kill him. So, rather than saying it was a waste, it was inefficient.

“Let’s get rid of them with a helicopter.”

“What are you talking about?”

If you think about it, you need somewhere to vent your anger. Let’s say the helicopter guy was killed because he betrayed you. Then where would the bodyguard’s resentment go? Would it just disappear? Or would it go somewhere else?

Even if they killed him, it wasn’t Maru or Kim Yang who killed him. It was better for someone from Hotel Charlotte, whether a bodyguard or someone else, to kill the traitor.

“People don’t always think rationally. Even if they understand the situation, there are more cases than you might think where they become twisted in their minds?”

Ki-soon looked at Maru. Well, that’s true. Maru nodded.

“So let’s release the helicopter guy and turn our anger and resentment towards him.”

“What if that old man gets caught and starts talking nonsense about us going to shit on us?”

“There is a way to do everything.”

Ki-soon took out her cell phone and shook it.

“Your phone? Huh? Were you recording everything just now?”

Ki-soon lifted her chin at Maru’s words.

“This is the realization of records.”

“So you’re telling that to the bodyguard? He’ll immediately demand that guy be handed over to you?”

“Of course you can’t give it to me right away.”

“My phone won’t work. The internet won’t work either. What am I going to do?”

“I’ll take care of that. Just wait a minute.”

Ki-soon descended like a swallow full of water.

Busan Charlotte Hotel

The conference room was full of corpses. With every step, the thick carpet was soaked with blood. The eyes of those who were clearing the corpses were devoid of emotion. They were just annoyed by the hassle of clearing away the trash.

“Hurry up and get this sorted out. Why are you delaying so much?”

“The bodies from the headquarters side, over there. The traitors, over here.”

“Verify the identities of the traitorous bastards.”

Manager Lee Ki-young checked and compared the corpses from the headquarters one by one.

“Where’s the head of the headquarters management team? He’s on the attendance list, but he’s not here? What’s going on?”

“There are a few in the bathroom. Should I drag them in?”

“What are you dragging? Take a picture.”

“yes?”

“Yes? What kind of example is that? Take a picture of my face and compare it to the picture. Then check and send me a text.”

“Ah! Okay, I understand.”

“Oh my. Those kids, really. What’s going on in their heads?”

He was already busy, and now he was thinking about bringing in a corpse. Manager Lee Ki-young, whose chest was heavy, couldn’t stand it anymore and took out a piece of candy and bit into it. His cell phone vibrated softly.

“This is Manager Lee Ki-young.”

[Manager Lee, I think I need to go on a business trip to Japan.]

“Are you Japanese?”

[Come here and tell us more.]

“Yes, I understand.”

What on earth is going on that makes your voice sound so hoarse? Manager Lee Ki-young took a bite of the candy.

A large window visible when you open the door to the president’s office.

The view outside the wide-open window was certainly spectacular. Next to that beautiful view, a man was struggling, his clothes completely naked, tied up. Manager Lee Ki-young sat on top of the middle-aged man who was squirming while tied up.

Ugh-

A painful groan escaped from her gagged mouth, but no one paid it any attention.

“Just listen to this first.”

When President Shim played the file, a conversation between Maru and Gi-sun appeared.

[···There was a CEO Choi at Yamazuki Shinyaku. So, it means that CEO Choi knew exactly where the president had gone···]

[···I told you. The people in Yamazuki’s new drug betrayed me···.]

Manager Lee Ki-young frowned after listening to the end.

“Is this true?”

“That must be true. I haven’t heard from anyone who went to Yamatsuki New Drug.”

President Sim Eun-young’s face was dark.

“How did you get this? Did we wiretap it?”

“They said they gave me the recording from over there.”

“Hmm- Given the nature of Hamaru and Kim Ki-soon, the possibility of it being false information is low, but I don’t think we should believe everything.”

“I think so too. The problem is that there is a possibility that almost all of our forces in Japan have betrayed us.”

That was definitely the problem.

Whether you believe the recorded content or not, the reality was that contact had been lost with the bodyguards and body doubles who had gone over to Japan. If the people in Yamatsuki Shinyaku had betrayed, they would have to abandon all of their high-level personnel, and if only a few had betrayed, they would have to bring back the rest.

“Is it difficult to have only the people you brought as escorts?”

“They say it’s difficult.”

In the beginning, we were betrayed by traitors and suffered many casualties. Fortunately, we were able to overcome the crisis with Maru’s help, but the problem was that we did not have enough reliable personnel. It was the same even now. A situation where a long-time helicopter pilot betrayed us.

If even the employees working in Charlotte, Busan, were betraying, what about those in Japan? We had to dispatch someone with the authority to immediately confirm and punish betrayal. Since the life or death of the bodyguard and the body double were unclear, we also had to search for them.

“Is that okay? If what you said is true, since Executive Director Choi is here, there is a possibility that World will send more people.”

“They said there would be a four-year ceasefire, so there won’t be any problems in Korea. The problem is in Japan.”

President Shim handed Manager Lee a file. Manager Lee’s face gradually hardened as he took it.

“Things have definitely gotten more complicated.”

What did World intend to do by sending Executive Director Choi? What did they intend to retrieve from Japan, which was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami? If they had succeeded in extracting information from Charlotte, they would surely have tried to find the recipe for the rapid cure and Berserker Pole.

Who gave the information?

The heel of a high heel trampled the back of the hand of a naked middle-aged man. Crunch- With the sound of the bones in the back of his hand breaking, the old man’s body, lying face down like a chair, jumped.

President Shim put strength into his high heels again as if he was stepping on a burr. A pitiful sound flowed out, “Keuuuuk- Keuuuuuk-.”

“You probably thought that if there was no evidence, it would be fine. Where would the world’s personality go? You would have stuck with Charlotte Headquarters.”

“I would have betrayed them because they liked the worms.” Manager Lee nodded in agreement at President Shim’s soft muttering. In an age where things like loyalty and trust have disappeared, betrayal and betrayal have unfortunately long since become folk games.

The manager kept passing out documents. The situation in Japan was more serious than expected. The central and southern parts of Kyushu were in a state of ruin. Winter came as volcanic ash piled up over 30cm, and they were isolated. Electricity, water, and gas were all cut off, and even railways, roads, airlines, and ports were blocked.

Here, a southern undersea earthquake occurred, and a tsunami as high as 15 to 20 meters swept through southern Honshu, centered around Shikoku. In fact, the port cities and coastal areas in the southern region were considered beyond recovery.

Tokyo was even more bleak. Already in shambles from the earthquake, the tsunami and the unknown electromagnetic waves were causing not only damage to aircraft but also to ships adrift.

The fact that they were able to get to Tokyo in such a mess in no time was proof of how dangerous Hamaru and Kim were. In addition, they had apparently created a safe zone in the Donan Hospital in south-central Honshu.

Since the report omitted detailed information, I became curious about the specific details.

“Do you know who the infected person is that is mentioned in this report?”

“They call people infected with the mutated virus ‘infected people’.”

“It’s strange that you called them infected instead of patients, and the symptoms of the infected resemble Berserker Paul, so I asked just in case.”

“······.”

Instead of answering, President Shim chose silence.

“Okay. So what I have to do when I go to Japan is to find and organize the traitors in Japan, send the ones who haven’t betrayed back to Korea, and retrieve information from Yamazuki Pharmaceutical and Takaichi Pharmaceutical?”

“Yes, please search there too. I’m not sure.”

The manager nodded.

“Okay, then let’s leave right away.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Kwajik- The high heel again trampled the back of my hand. Kwaaaaaaaaaa- Manager Lee Ki-young closed the door, leaving behind the scream coming from his gagged mouth.

Seoul, World Group.

The face of the late impressionist Jo Man-deok looked like a cold steamed bun.

“I lost contact with Executive Director Choi.”

Director Yoo nodded quietly. President Cho was irritated by Director Yoo’s ‘I don’t know’ nod. You know that I’m going to scold Executive Director Choi, but you’re pretending not to know?

“I heard that we lost contact with Executive Director Choi in Japan.”

“I know because I heard it.”

“What the hell, if you knew? You must have come up with some kind of plan, right?”

“I just heard that. What kind of countermeasures are you coming up with? And do you need any countermeasures? Since you’ve already signed a ceasefire?”

President Cho was moved by Director Yoo’s answer, which was a tad ignorant, as he stroked his short hair.

“No. Shh- Director Yoo. If you say that, what does that make me? Then should I have committed a massacre at Seomyeon? Should I have blown up Seomyeon and created a sea of ​​blood, whether martial law was declared or not?”

“You said you wanted to separate the group and sit in the chairman’s seat? Didn’t you say you wanted to become chairman before your parents passed away and show filial piety?”

“So, what if Charlotte George from Busan had just taken over as chairman and called a ceasefire and ended up in this mess?”

“Who said that? Not only did you make a truce with Charlotte, but you sent Executive Director Choi to Japan, so why are you doing this to me?”

President Jo Man-deok raised both hands as if he had lost, then lowered them.

“Yes. You won. But you can’t break the ceasefire. Not us or Charlotte. The military and the government are watching. You can’t touch that. At least in Korea.”

At those words, the corners of Director Yoo’s mouth rose. The diagonal scar wriggled like a snake. President Cho continued his story with an expression that said, “That girl is acting up again.”

“They said that Charlotte headquarters went down to Busan to check on Hotel Charlotte, and it was all over. Even the people we planted in Charlotte headquarters here were all wiped out. Now, we should assume that the Charlotte Group is under the control of Hotel Charlotte President Sim Eun-young. We should also assume that Sim Eun-young took all the treatment and combat support drugs that Charlotte had.”

“I knew it. That piglet Sim Eun-gyu got killed?”

“He’s not dead yet, they just stripped him off and used him as a chair.”

Hahahaha!

Director Yoo laughed heartily and nodded his head, saying, “I like that.” Then, Jo Sa-sang spoke to Director Yoo in a low voice.

“He asked me to find a quick cure from above. He also asked me to get the recipe for the combat drug Charlotte has called Berserker Fall.”

“Above? Which above?”

At Director Yoo’s words, President Cho shouted.

“Up. Very up. Don’t you know? I told you to bring it from above.”

“I don’t know where that guy’s going, but why are you telling me that? You told me to stay put and not think about going anywhere because that war-mongering bitch is a bastard.”

“Yeah, damn it, I was wrong. I was wrong. So you should go to Japan.”

“Why? You want me to tie my hands and feet and go to Japan and die?”

“Why are you tying my hands and feet? You can do whatever you want with me, but just make sure there are no complaints. That’s all that matters.”

“I made a promise. You can do whatever you want.”

“Okay. Do whatever you want, just make sure there’s no noise. Just make sure there’s no other talk.”

“OK”

Director Yoo suddenly got up and strode out. President Cho, who was watching him, carefully brushed back his thinning hair.
