Arena, Alien hunting

Hearing Chairman Park Jin-seong and Chief Secretary Kim Byeong-ho's words, Bear organized his thoughts.

Governments and corporations from around the world are engaged in Arena related businesses.

The McLean family in the United States is one of the foremost organizations in the field of drumming application technology.

It was the business of Chairman Smith McLean, whom I had previously treated. The world's top ranker, Dana Ritrin, was also chairman of McLean.

The Chinese Trials are the largest in terms of land gains and holdings.

Like a country with 1.3 billion people, the number of investigators was the most, and it was natural to collect all kinds of things, including piracy.

The elimination of the hazing clan resulted in half the number of investigators, but this ranking did not seem to be easily shaken.

Other Nordic trials, such as India, Russia, and Japan, with Odin, also have many of the world's leading ranking investigators.

As such, the location of the Korea Arena Institute in the world's arena industry, where there were many strong people, was not very high.

Korea was now thinking of increasing its competitiveness by integrating it with Jinsung Group's Arena business.

And you need me to be number seven, right? ’

Probably wanted me to be tested as an ace.

But I had already signed a contract with Jinsung Group.

I have a contract to sell my winnings to Jinsung Group. If Jinsung Group and Korea Arena Research Institute are integrated, it will naturally transfer to my affiliated Korea Arena Research Institute.

I was curious and asked.

“What do you want more specifically? ”

“There are many things. ”

Secretary Kim Byung-ho said.

“I know you haven't earned it so far. ”

“Yes.”

I didn't pay much attention to gaining leverage while focusing on clearing the exam. There's no reason to raise a fever to gain leverage.

“We would like Kim Hyun-ho to be more active in achieving a higher rank. ”

“ ……. ”

“And Odin, a well-known investigator, reigns as the late lord of the Arena. Like that, Kim Hyun-ho hopes to establish a strong position in the arena to facilitate the activities of other Korean investigators. ”

I sighed.

“I can't work with the same meaning as you two. ”

“Why?”

“I'm not a businessman. The reason we fight in the Arena is to survive. ”

“ ……. ”

“I think you both want the foundation for continuing your business, and I'm going to make sure that no one goes to the arena again. ”

I fell in love with two people who had nothing to say.

“I'll cut to the chase. I will complete the test to the end. Are you going to fully support that? ”

“ ……. ”

“We're on the opposite side of the fence. Let's blindfold each other and get in the same boat." How sincere is that, and how long is that going to last? ”

An awkward silence has come.

Chairman Park Jinsung broke his silence and said.

“I know it's always been a hypothesis. I can't guarantee that once you've completed all the exams, all the other investigators will be released from the exam. Isn't that right?"

“Yes, but if we combine the known information to date, we can analyze that all the investigators' tests are going in one direction. That's why there are corrupt investigators who abandon their exams and become obsessed with making money. ”

“Anyway, won't you be able to cooperate with each other until you've completely completed the test? ”

“And then? ”

“On your own terms. ”

“One thing worries me. Governments and Jinsung Group invested heavily in the land market. However, I am in a situation where I will never be able to get a hold of you again. ”

I shrugged and asked them.

“Are you going to leave me alone? Who sold my personal information to China for a few bucks? ”

“My government won't harm Kim Hyun-ho. ”

“I don't believe that. ”

I sighed.

“You didn't tell me that you were going to fully support me in completing the test. You don't want that, do you? ”

“ ……. ”

Secretary Kim Byung-ho and President Park Jin-seong are investors in the end.

Profit from investment is more valuable than the safety of the investigator.

I got up from my seat.

“The only thing I need to talk about is differences in position. I'll be going now.”

Cha Ji-hye also woke up with me.

We drove back home together.

“I don't really understand. ”

Cha Ji-hye who was driving suddenly said.

“What?”

“Why are you so keen to complete the test?" ”

“ ……. ”

“Kim Hyun-ho is strong now. If you're not obsessed with completing an exam, it doesn't look like you're threatening your life in the arena. ”

She's right.

Rather, it's more dangerous if you insist on taking the test.

The last eight tests were the same.

If you left Port Depot after the pirate raid and just told me not to know, there wouldn't be any danger.

Rather, I was willing to fight for my life.

“If you maintain your investigator status and skills without completing an exam, you may continue to receive high returns and be treated. Since there is a flame of life, you don't have to do dirty work like the Chinese Tributes because of the bees. ”

“Of course.”

“Then why do you want to complete the test? ”

“ ……. ”

I never really thought about it, so I couldn't answer.

I had never had a particular mission. I'm a hero with a sense of justice.

It's just...

“I just don't like it. ”

“Arena? ”

“Yeah, maybe it's because I saw my team die. There are more dead testers out there than there are any of us. ”

“I will. When I was at the Korea Arena Institute, I saw more dead testers than live testers. ”

“And testing is what the law and the angels do. ”

“ ……. ”

“Law is an absolute being, like God and truth. I think there must be a reason for the test. ”

“I see.”

“Every test I've taken has been answered correctly. That's why I believe it. No matter how human beings try to take the test, there must be an ultimate reason to go beyond it. ”

Corrupt investigators have emerged and are preparing to test businesses in real-world countries.

It is right to regard even this as the rule of law.

I'm sure there's something much bigger going on than we thought.

So I take the test.

I will continue to clear and see the correct answer.

* * *

It was when I came back to Bucheon and entered the parking lot.

When I parked the car and got off, two men approached us.

He appeared to be Southeast Asian due to dark curly hair and dark brown skin.

“The Blessing of the Wind. ”

As if strangers were waiting for you, I swooped in and let the wind blow over.

Cha Ji-hye also raised the error, but fortunately, the two foreigners didn't seem willing to fight.

“Greetings.”

“We're not enemies, so don't be alarmed. ”

The two men spoke in Arena.

However, when I realized that the two men were the examiners, I became even more wary.

One of the two tall, handsome men reaches out his right hand.

“Krishna, the investigator of Arena in India. ”

Arena in India?

Cha Ji-hye warned me.

“The Arena Institute in India. ”

India?

I quietly shook hands with a handsome Indian man named Krishna.

This time, even a small, tall Indian man reached out his hand.

“I'm from the Indian Trials. Call Labra.”

What the hell is this?

I shook his hand and wondered.

“What is Arena India and the Indian Trials? ”

“Our Arena India is officially sponsored by the Indian government. ”

“Our India Trials are a group of investigators who work together to complete and survive pure trials. ”

The competitive explanation showed that the two sides didn't look so good together.

But it sounded like the Arena India was an organization for drug-related businesses and interests, and the Indian Trials were purely united to target tests, like the Nordic Trials.

I was naturally more fond of the Indian Trials.

Cha Ji-hye said.

“Hinduism and Islam. ”

“Ah……. ”

Then I got to the bottom of it. Which is more right than wrong.

The two men seemed to have doubted Cha Ji-hye's unity.

“But what business do you have with us? ”

“I'm here to recruit Mr. Kim Hyun-ho. ”

“I want to share my intentions with Hyunho Kim. ”

Krishna and Rab said at the same time.

They were also two people who did not forget the neurowarfare by eyeing each other.

‘Now that I think about it, this is going to happen more and more. ’

Now that my name and ranking have been made public, there will be many offers like this in the future.

First, I returned the refusal to them.

They emphasized that they treat me regardless of religion.

I also offered an annual salary of 100 billion won, but I was not interested in money.

I thought you two left like that, but Krishna's back.

“Then I'll tell you another story. ”

“Someone needs medical attention. ”

“Yes.”

I found out what I was looking for. There's two things you need to do for me.

“200 million US dollars. The treatment period is 2 weeks, and the place where the treatment is carried out is Korea. ”

I told McLean the same criteria as I did the last time I treated him.

“The treatment period cannot be Katabutana, but the price is too high and he is uncomfortable with behavior. ”

“My breaks are very limited, and I don't want to spend more than two weeks abroad. ”

“India is a good place. I will treat you extremely well for the next two weeks. ”

“I'm sorry, nothing is compromised. Please accept or decline. ”

Krishna groans.

“How do you want your money? ”

“I would like to be credited to my Swiss account before full treatment. ”

Then I suddenly remembered and added.

“If you pay with Karma, I'll only take 5,000. ”

“5,000 karma? I think so. Fine, then I'll pay you in return for Karma. ”

“Karma isn't easy to find nowadays, is that possible? ”

“There's always a tester who wants to save a lot of money for his family. And India has as many investigators as China. Now there are more than the Chinese Trials. ”

Not really.

India, by population, was a country comparable to China.

“Anyway, I'll report back. ”

“I understand.”

So Krishna left.

I now have 16,000 karma left.

If you acquired 5,000 more karma with this transaction, you could either upgrade your animosity or master another skill.

‘I need to think more about what to do with Karma's reward. ’
