History's Strongest Manager

[141] Where do tails reach (3)

The purpose of working part-time was not to prove Jabline's allegations.

“If we cooperate with the investigation and get enough evidence, we'll quietly forget about the Jablins. You'd better cooperate.”

At the same time, the gluteus maximus freed Alfred's breath. Then he breathed deeply and felt breathless. He looked at the phantom muscle with a relatively gentle expression, with an open feeling of pressure that he felt.

All he needed was evidence that the rebuilding was involved, but it didn't matter what happened, such as the Jablin South Korean branch.

He entered the Hangar and found that Jabline was definitely involved. Alfred had no choice but to tell the truth. Once involved in a criminal case, the headquarters declared Jabline's way of cutting off the tail, and that if he cooperated, he would not be held accountable.

“In conclusion, we don't know where the quest came from. ”

“…… I'm already starting to squeak. ”

“You don't know that from my line. In order to know properly, we need to find out where the request is from. ”

To do so, you'll need to request an international investigation. In other words, the Jabline International branches were not only a kind of subcontractor, but they had no idea what our intentions were and why we had them do this. And Jabline's headquarters was in Dubai. And in Dubai, Jabline was in charge of security.

It also means that the Jablines and the Dubai government themselves are deeply bonded.

Of course, Dubai will be silenced if we ask for their cooperation.

There is a good reason why Jabline maintains this worldwide mercenary system. You have to catch a piece of paper in a branch of a country to literally cut it off.

So we didn't even know who the client was, and the branch was literally just a money-earning tool and the role of action. This time, the target is not a Jabline, but only friction with Jablines if you catch these Korean branch thugs.

For the proper investigation, he was only trying to get information from Jablines.

He sighed after hearing Alfred's explanation about Jabline's quest system. It was inherently impossible to get anything out of them anyway.

He turns his arrows this time.

“Then let's ask what you know this time. ”

“Yes.”

“On that day, explain the details of the mission. ”

Alfred explains with a firm expression as if something were coming. Nothing about those raiders made a difference anyway. Alfred knew there was only one way he could cooperate with the phantom workers if he didn't want to get involved.

“An urgent order came down at night. ”

The top instruction was to dispatch three squads there with coordinates. The Jablin branches did what they were told, didn't ask for any details, and didn't answer any questions. They make their way down to the basement at the point as instructed.

“We were ambushed there. They were probably in there before. One is definitely a mutant. I used tentacles.I didn't see any detail... ”

Immediately, an enormous tentacle wraps around the crew and collapses with a tentacle in its mouth. Alfred said he had escaped from his tentacles, but was struck by someone coming out of the dark, injured on his shoulder, and lost his mind after receiving a neurostimulant.

“Was it the night? What did it look like? ”

“I don't know if it was Night or not, but I was wearing a black mask. ”

“Black mask? ”

“Yes. I don't think he meant to kill me, but when he woke up, two or three squads were all dead. ”

Enemies were not killed, but the 2nd and 3rd squads were preempted and the enemy retaliated against the preemptive strike without restraint. Alfred noticed the sudden deterioration of his gluteal muscles, and I was beginning to notice that.

When I heard that, I suddenly remembered something in my head.

It wasn't that long ago. At the time of Jinyuna's death, the brain-damaged line was stolen by someone.

‘A soldier who had acquired a pair of brains was attacked in a mask on his way back. The sick man fled with a double gland. ’

A masked affliction runs away with a brain-damaged twin. And the men who attacked the Jablin mercenaries were also in masks. Is this a simple coincidence? Or is it an incident involving the same person? Why did the masked man take the twin brains? And why did the masked man reveal himself to the non-funded case this time?

According to Prime Minister Kim, the masked man touched the state's visa fund. Then I informed Prime Minister Kim of the location of the visa funds.

So much money would have been given to keep Jabline and its owner off the radar, and to publicize the case so that no one would be able to track it but the government.

How did Masked Agony know about the visa fund?

In his head, he felt a puzzle fit gradually. It was a very simple matter.

The assassin who assassinated President Joo Won Moon.

If the masked man is an assassin, the situation is somewhat fishy. He slowly began to reconcile the cases. I don't know why he took Jinyuna's brainstem, but he is related to Jinyuna and her. He was convinced that there was something he didn't know about Jin Yuna's death.

The masked man was involved in Jin Yuna's death and killed President Joo. Either way, the man also got information about the host's visa fund.

And he robbed the visa fund, and in the process he collided with Jablin and handed over most of the visa fund to Prime Minister Kim.

From the time of Crisis to the time of non-funding, this was not a disconnected case, but a connected one.

However, Prime Minister Kim instructed Lu Xiaoyun to find links between the Tokens and non-funding. I didn't know if the masked man would have the evidence, but once he was at the heart of the case, it was undeniable.

Heo Sang-hyun left the Jablin Korea Branch. These guys are just a bunch of hooligans anyway, and Heo Sang-gyun was going to leave this Jablin Korean branch alone for a while. It was frustrating to operate weapons on my own in Korea, but now it was more important.

He was going to investigate this case on his own. The man in the black mask was one of the most skilled men who could kill rats and birds without even knowing the president.

‘I really don't know. ’

A general assessment was that dimensional abilities were used in the assassination of the president. Many people argued that they would not be caught in the surveillance inside the Cheongwa University because they used space travel.

However, to sum up what Alfred said today, the opponent was not a Dimensional Ability, but a Hunter who used Armcoat and Ethel Sword. Most likely Knight, but less likely Awakened.

It was hard to be sure it was the same person.

However, it was a matter of heading completely bare ground, so we decided not to rush to work. When I think about it, there were more than one or two strange things.

Obviously, Jinyuna escaped after being exposed to the fact that she was an addict by Paladin. But I came right back. Jinyuna was cooperative in every operation and prepared for death.

It was clear that he felt a change in heart. He knew what was coming for him and humbled himself, and everyone knew he was going to die. He remembered the last time Jin Yoona tore the subspace.

‘I ran away and met someone. And there was a change in the heart.... This is it.’

First, we needed to stumble again before Jinyuna's death.

Alfred remained in the Korean branch and tasted it. Half of the crew were killed, and the Constitution Department got their tails caught. It was not just a matter of losing my job, but a hound was sent to the headquarters, so I had nothing to say even if I was killed by rats or birds.

The excuse of encountering an unparalleled opponent doesn't seem to work. What was important to Jabline was always a success, and as he inflicted an unfortunate amount of damage, he had no words to say.

I should have thanked him for being a black market escort and not a branch manager. He said that he would not be a problem on the outside, but he was practically a weakness. Alfred is seriously considering going undercover.

And then...

The mission has been sent back to him.

A cryptographic message arrived on his computer screen. He thought of a cryptograph in his head, empowering his eyes to interpret what the message meant and constantly looking at it. The command level was Class B, and the security level was S.

Given that the last command level was A and the security level was A. (Of course, given what they actually faced, Alfred firmly believed that the command level itself was wrong.)

It's a Class B command, but security level is at its highest. Alfred is troubled by the interpretation of the cipher.

[Due to previous failures, our trust in the Korean branch has decreased considerably. But I'm going to trust you one last time.]

[Simple capture mission. The target is a mutant called G-1. This mutant is more powerful than he looks, so be careful.]

[I will send you additional locations and identities, so capture them and transport them to the designated location.]

Alfred glares at the transmitted photos and location information. It was a mutant subject known to have escaped from an illegal port this year. He was a pretty little boy. No matter how mutant, it was to kidnap a child.

It was only one kidnapping mission to restore the trust of the Korean branch.

Alfred smiles and starts looking for related materials.

‘Yes, I met a guy I couldn't handle because I had bad luck last time, but will that happen again? ’

It was going to happen again. Alfred smiled and instructed his staff to gather the necessary information. However, further orders have been issued from HQ shortly.

“Hmm?"

And as he was reading the order, Alfred's expression gradually became stiff. Having fully understood the content, Alfred's mouth is wide open, and he hasn't said anything for a while.

The H-1 team's low power is now undeniable.

- Boom, boom!

The body of the reinforcements surrounded by blue energy surges against the beast and raises a shock wave. The beast explodes into pieces in an instant, and the support continues to charge and stops with a total of three monsters torn apart.

“Phew... Phew..."

Now, instead of summoning the Core Weapon, you can use your ability to tear everything you touch by releasing the full core energy. The destructive power of PPF-like capabilities was enormous.

The finishing of the support led to a smooth conquest of the C rank core, and everyone extracted the core crystals from the corpse of the monster using an extractor.

The soldiers who struck the barricades began to withdraw.

“What do you think of my specialty? ”

I approached Gangjun with a sweaty support and smiled brightly. Kang Jun smiled with his thumb out.

“It's cool, but don't overdo it. ”

“Yes!”

Kang was really surprised to see the explosive enhancement of physical abilities while activating the core grind. While it is true that mutants are unpredictable in many ways, support was the most unique and bizarre of them all.

“That kind of power is more Awakening than Mutant. ”

Iznitas, who was watching the battlefield, held out his tongue as if surprised to see it.

“Energy Awakenings are similar. ”

“A Night Class Physical Ability with Energy Generator Ability…. A monster. A monster.”

“I don't think that's for you to say. ”

When Iznitas, who is turning into a real monster and fighting, said that, Kang Jun shot him. Then Iznitas raised his twin finger to Kangjun.

“That's what I'm saying. Are you comfortable pointing that out, demon? ”

When Iznitas showed obvious reaction, Kang Jun laughed as if it was funny. The H-1 team's hunting speed was truly unimaginable and was already at the C rank. Many of the energy crystals from Chrysis were also absorbed. The overall level increase was noticeable and the B rank promotion was already won.

It was very rare for the F rank team to move up to the B rank in just half a year.
