RUST -456
When the PD said to bring Na Ju-yeon from the Oh Jin Group, other people seemed to think that it wouldn’t be a bad idea, but Kim Yang was not one of them.
A look of despair as if to say, ‘If this continues, we’ll all die!’, a subtle expression that seemed to have given up despite desperately trying to exert strength, appeared on the screen.
[Sir, that’s it. Let’s end the meeting here for now and take a short break…]
Although the quick-witted Kim Yang quickly took action, Maru’s eyes, where he was sitting, had already begun to lose their light.
[So everyone, let’s all go out. Let’s rest for an hour and then meet again.]
Miss Kim kicked out everyone who had gathered.
At her bewildered and surprised expression and Maru’s appearance that seemed infinitely heavy, the PD and Hood were pushed out of the conference room, and the nurse and psychometry’s video was cut off.
A little while later, Kim Yang, who was running hurriedly from the indoor stadium, shouted at the PD.
“Are you crazy? Seriously– where did you hear the word fiancée? What should I do if she suddenly says something like that?”
Following the sudden attack, the PD was taken aback by Ms. Kim’s appearance, who was trembling with her breathing hard, so he calmed her down first.
“I knew about the fiancee thing before. But what’s going on? First, calm down and take it slow…”
Kim Yang, who had gulped down the water bottle the PD had handed her, shivered as if something had occurred to her mind.
“She’s a problem, but when that crazy bitch comes, she gets something to eat.”
“What do you mean, crazy bitch? Are you saying that if your fiancée comes, something will come with her?”
“Yes. They say ginseng comes as a set. No, not just ginseng, but everything else might come.”
“Ah- Ginseng? That’s what that friend said. I heard he’s a very capable person. Wouldn’t it be nice if he came?”
Hood also agreed without knowing what the PD was saying.
“Wouldn’t it be great if you had a friend who coordinated between Virginia Langley and the Department of Homeland Security?”
Miss Kim beat her chest as if she was frustrated.
“It’s not Suni, it’s Sam. Green Suni. It’s not Gisun, it’s Sansam… No. My younger sibling is coming too.”
Now, Maru’s family was being managed by Na Ju-yeon.
What would happen if a ginseng that needs to be ‘managed’ under the name of ‘care’ came to the kingdom? Would it be possible to handle it?
‘He was living very well after killing people.’
‘Was it nice to play king and leave your family behind?’
If even one similar sound came out, it was obvious that Maru’s runaway incident would occur. But that was just Kim Yang’s desperation. The PD couldn’t understand it.
Friends come, brothers come. What could be the problem? If family comes, it is even better. What would happen later when the kingdom is established and there is a force that takes Vladimir Kalin’s family hostage?
The same goes for his fiancée. Even though she was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, wasn’t she someone whose abilities were so outstanding that they were famous all over the world?
Hmm-
The PD looked at Ms. Kim. Judging from her slightly pale expression, it seemed that she was genuinely feeling uneasy. The problem was that the reason for that unease was unclear.
‘Does the great next door seat really mean that you’re going to push your fiancée out of the way to take that seat?’
‘You weren’t on good terms with your younger sibling?’
If it was a misunderstanding, then it was the PD who misunderstood, but wouldn’t this be a more realistic inference? Kim Yang, who was quick-witted, reacted to the PD’s gaze that had grown weary for some reason.
“What is that look in your eyes? Do you think I’m lying right now?”
“Ahem- I’m not lying, but it’s hard to understand.”
“You have to taste it to know if it’s poop or soybean paste?”
“Huh? That is···.”
“Okay. I’ll let you know what problems arise once you get there. His mother has arrived. So what’s her position?”
“Wait a minute. What are you trying to say?”
“Shut up and listen. Your mother is here. What if you introduce your mother to the HOLLY congregation? What if there are people among the HOLLY congregation who pray to your mother? What will happen?”
“······.”
“What position will that younger brother have? If there are children who are attracted to his younger brother, will they be punished as heretics? What will his father do? What on earth is he thinking? Even if the HOLLY believers are single-minded, will he be confident when his immediate family comes? We don’t know what will happen.”
“······.”
Kim Yang was someone who could have a conversation with Ki-soon, who was also a Too Much Talker, because she didn’t do it.
The PD took a deep breath and bowed his head slightly.
“The situation was so urgent that I didn’t think that far ahead. Judging from how he spoke so harshly, I guess he wasn’t on good terms with his family.”
When the PD treated him politely, even Kim Yang, who had been excited, calmed down.
“The same goes for your fiancée.”
Ms. Kim told me roughly what happened when she was climbing the stairs of the Ojin Group headquarters building in Seoul. She was able to explain it because she had unintentionally overheard the conversation between the two families at the time.
“I was too hasty. But considering our current situation, Chairman Na’s ability is absolutely necessary.”
Ability related to pharmaceuticals. If you listen to the story, it would seem like it was almost a superpower. If it was Na Ju-yeon’s ability, it wouldn’t be strange if she made a drug that awakened her ability.
“Didn’t you hear what I just said? Don’t you understand?”
“I understand. That’s why I have to go into more detail. I understand that you are not on good terms with your family. So can you guarantee that Your Majesty will not mind at all if they are taken hostage?”
That’s. A little.
Even when you cut it, Kim Yang knew that it had a soft side. It was the same with his relationship with Sansam and with Na Ju-yeon.
If he was a psychopath, he would have wiped out Na Ju-yeon and Sansam without exception when he entered the headquarters building of the Ojin Group in Seoul. He wouldn’t have rolled around day and night at the livestock company in the first place.
“The land of the kingdom is vast, but there are no people. Wouldn’t it be better if we could bring the people of the Ojin Group and give them a place in the remote areas of the kingdom?”
The idea was to bring them to a remote area far from Detroit, the eastern end of the country that Hood had negotiated this time.
Kim Yang’s pupils became dots. So, common sense would not work. The PD, who positively judged Kim Yang’s stiffness, decided to push ahead with the project.
Although he may not be P’s D, Ms. Kim wished him well, if not peace.

Even though it was past mid-April and May was approaching, the accumulated snow had not melted. The East Sea, shining blue, rippled without any worries or concerns.
Ki-sun walked over to see a middle-aged man happily cutting up a large pollack. The conversation he had with Na-ju-yeon had left him confused for several days.
Maybe this world had been falling apart for a long time. The idea of spreading the virus to people to extract materials was the same. The idea of using the virus to purify the Earth was the same.
If genetically modified foods are dangerous, shouldn’t we eradicate them?
There is a possibility that it contains genetically modified foods. What are we feeding them? Even if there is a risk of high fructose corn syrup, there are problems with using artificial sweeteners, but whatever.
Even if the mutant virus and Mother Nature hadn’t killed humans like this, humans would have killed humans in the end.
“Fuck.”
Ki-sun spat and walked along the coastal road. The scenery was like being in Antarctica. The snow and ice piled up over 5 meters like an iceberg.
When you see a thick mass falling into the sea with a thud and a rumble, you know the weather has finally cleared up.
‘That was the only case like that for that person.’
Just as Ki-soon thought that Chairman Nao-jin and his wife were twisted somewhere, their daughter Na-ju-yeon was also twisted somewhere. The problem is that this twist is consistently directed at her friend Maru.
‘If it’s that good, why don’t we go straight to the US or stay in Ulleungdo?’
‘It can’t be cheap. He got his foot in the door in the US with nothing, so should I, the group chairman, go to the US with nothing?’
‘What do you mean by empty-handed? I have so much that I’m going to throw it away. And you’re making new medicine? How are you going to do that? If you’re going to distribute it anyway, you’re going to have to deal with the Korean government.’
‘Yes. So didn’t I show you my business card? When the news gets out, he’ll want me. He’ll definitely call me.’
Wasn’t that a strange stubbornness? At the time, I thought it was because I didn’t have the means to move to the US right away, but that wasn’t the case.
If you establish a base on Ulleungdo, it would be easy to go to the Korean Peninsula and defend it. The same goes for Japan. So Najuyeon was waiting for Ulleungdo.
Maru calls himself.
‘This kid. You’re not calling Na Ju-yeon, are you?’
No, it won’t be.
It’s a bit disappointing if the newly developed drugs are successful, but no one in their right mind would call them that.
Ki-soon shook his head at the creepy feeling.
The tentacles that had been hanging down peeked out for a moment, then after being hit by the cold sea breeze, they dug back into the beanie hat.
As Ki-sun began to wriggle around, he endured the tingling sensation and took out a cigarette to light it. Then, a helicopter approached his sight. It was a helicopter traveling back and forth between Ulleungdo and Gangneung.
Currently, the Korean government and the Ulleungdo Ojin Group have tacitly agreed not to interfere with each other. This is because some of the Navy and Air Force have joined Najuyeon and become independent forces.
after-
As Ki-soon was smoking a cigarette, puffing out a cloud of white smoke, a call came in.
[Director Kim Ki-sun. The Chairman is calling.]
“Fuck, manager. I said I understood.”
[Yes? Yes. I will convey that.]
Chik- Ki-soon, who had just lit a fire at the beginning of the year, looked at the helicopter that had landed on the landing pad. It had called him not long after it arrived.
Tsk-
After Ki-sun left, the place where he had been standing fell into the sea like a glacier being pushed away.
As soon as they entered the chairman’s office, Na Ju-yeon greeted Gi-sun.
“Manager Kim. You’re late.”
“It’s late. So what’s going on?”
When there were no people around, Joo-yeon and Gi-sun would talk freely, but after their last private meeting, the two of them just spoke openly.
“The Korean government has brought you news from the United States.”
“You knew America was a mess. If things had gotten even worse there, a civil war would have broken out.”
“The Charlotte Group is said to be based in LA and targeting San Francisco.”
“Wow. That lady is hot. But is that possible? No matter how close to anarchy it is, there must be a state government.”
“The high-ranking officials and those involved became cannibals, and Director Yu and Mr. Maru disposed of them. Charlotte filled that void.”
“You’re lucky. So? Your stomach hurts?”
Even at the sound of the gentle scratching, the corners of Na Ju-yeon’s eyes slightly curved as if something felt so good.
“What’s there to be hungry about? And I have some important news for you.”
“······.”
Na Ju-yeon paused for a moment and said with a proud expression.
“They say that our Mr. Maru has become the king.”
what?
“It is said that he proclaimed the Holy Ark Kingdom and sat on the throne.”
A kingdom in the United States? Is this true?
She added, as if enjoying Ki-sun’s absurd expression.
“That’s not all. Nine states, centered around New York, have joined together to declare the American Empire, and former Homeland Security Director Dan Brown is said to be the new president.”
Last year, seven states centered around southern Texas formed the Confederacy and declared their intention to secede from the Union.
At the time, the East, centered around New York, condemned secession from the United States as an unconstitutional act and a violent act that denied the history and traditions of the United States.
But now, the East has declared itself an empire. And even the Emperor’s seat is held by Dan Brown. The Dan Brown that Ki-soon knew was an exaggeration.
From a lowly general to a Führer of an empire.
It’s not a webtoon or a webtoon.
Then, the United States of America would be virtually dissolved.
What about the US Forces in Korea? What about the US Forces in Japan?
What happens to American troops around the world?
The US military was a federal military.
But the Federation has disappeared.
“It’s dangerous. It’s dangerous. This is really dangerous.”
Ki-soon muttered without realizing it.
The seven Chinese must have heard this news too.
No, it was not possible to predict how far the repercussions would extend.
“A proposal came from the Korean government.”
“What suggestions?”
“They said they would guarantee safety if we handed over Maru’s family.”
“Out of the blue, all of a sudden… Ha- It’s because of the proclamation of the kingdom.”
From a mercenary with just one building, he is now a king.
No matter how weak the power, a kingdom is a kingdom and a king is a king. If you can control it, you can gain enormous benefits. Especially in a situation like now.
“So we have a problem. 7 China and Russia and Virginia Langley and the American Empire are demanding that Mr. Maru’s family be handed over.”
‘It’s like a school of piranhas attacking you.’ Na Ju-yeon muttered.
ah-
The fucking thing itself was a mechanism to create an expression.
