Limitless Dream

There was a luncheon at Cheongwa University inviting entrepreneurs.

The event, led by the president, was attended by a total of 30 financial corporations. Ordinarily, even a tycoon who would have sent a chief executive was attended by the chairman himself.

The only company attended by the CEO, not the owner, was Group H. It was Choi Seok, President of H Holdings.

He was an American studying abroad with no ties to the financier at all. He was recognized as Harvard's business and economic expert.

Like all financiers, Group H, which was a complex group of stake relationships, completed the process of organizing its affiliates over the years.

Currently, the former affiliate is vertically resilient, centered on the holding company H Holdings, and Choi bought the trust of the white iron to serve as its chief executive officer.

“The President is coming out. ”

Everyone is sitting at the round table in the Noble Room, and then the President comes out.

The President shook hands with one, one and all of the company's total.

I saw a bright smile on his face, and I bit his lips.

‘It won't be easy. ’

Other gunmen are grinning, but they don't look comfortable at all.

Everyone knew what intent this place was made of. An amendment to the increase in corporate tax submitted by the administration, which will be given in any way by the president regarding the flogging.

“My country is on a very important path right now. Whether or not the wormhole industry is successfully settling down takes centuries of national time. But we don't have enough budget to do it effectively. ”

“ ……. ”

“I know many of your complaints about corporate tax increases. But it's natural and it's pride that earners have to pay a lot of taxes. We ask for your generous understanding as a company. ”

“ ……. ”

The Monastery President is the leader of the elite who once opposed the rise of wealth more vigorously than anyone else. He's putting a metal plate on his face like when he did it, and changing his attitude like his palm.

The total number of companies was ridiculous, but they struggled to swallow the uncomfortable mood.

It was time to go back after the luncheon in such an awkward atmosphere.

“Chairman, come over here for a moment. ”

The head of security calmly summoned me. She follows him out of curiosity.

In the quiet reception room in the corner of the stateroom, the president came first and waited for her.

"Alone? ’

The ominous premonition precedes the question, "Why?"

“How was your lunch today, Chairman? ”

“It was a beneficial and enjoyable time, Mr. President. Thank you for inviting us. ”

“I'm glad you had fun. ”

The president led the conversation with a relaxed smile.

While I did not lose my smile, I tried not to reveal the vibrations.

“I heard you had dinner with Representative Cheol-min Kim. ”

“ ……. ”

“Yes, you asked me to mediate with my government? ”

I didn't think you'd hook up like this.

She bites her lip tightly. I have tried many ways to cope with the sudden increase in taxes, but I had no idea that the president would call him himself and make him his chancellor.

In parliament, no, not until the beginning of my inauguration. What changed him?

“I'll give you a heads up. Congress won't be able to reject a tax law amendment submitted by the government. ”

That said, it has a clear weakness that makes it possible for members of Congress to play a harvester role. In fact, the government wielding the blade of death was not strange, even though it had that much power.

“I don't have any money in my country right now. Oh, of course, there's no problem setting up your current finances. But we have to invest a lot to prepare for the future, and we don't have that kind of money. ”

“Madam President, but…. ”

“Only the wealthy find a place to wash their water. So I want you to understand, as a social leader, ”

The grinning scepter, the clear urge contained within, blurs my face.

“Are we asking the Jinseong group to step up first? ”

“Group H has little motivational effect on other companies. If the Jinseong group is involved, it will be a clear symbol. ”

Finally, I realized.

Why the president called himself silent.

Even if the Jinseong Group surrenders, the other insurgents will no longer have the will to resist. Is that what the president wants?

Lee remembered many reasons and justifications that the group had prepared to persuade the president.

However, none of them came out of my mouth. He was just wandering around in vain, drawing a senseless vortex in his brain.

She reminds herself of the worst situation she's ever asked executives to do.

‘Re-adjust the group management plan as a whole in case it fails. Assume that the tax will eventually increase in any way. ’

She takes a hard look at the president, then takes a hard step back.

“I think it's contrary to the economic policy that you used to pursue in Congress. ”

“The stance that I used to get drunk on when I was a member of Parliament has been quite contradictory lately. ”

When the unseen poison was mixed with a calm smile, I was embarrassed for a moment.

No, personal vengeance? Increased corporate tax? "

“Just so we're clear, there won't be any changes to the policy. And there won't be any particular objection to that. ”

“ ……. ”

“I believe in the wise choices of Jinsung Group. ”

The myriad excuses that the group's outstanding talent struggled with for days, they were all gone in her head.

The search for the missing Archaeological Blade was becoming less and less energetic.

I scoured every inch of the nearby sea for close surveillance, but there was no way to tell if it had risen into the sky or turned off to the ground.

The U.S. military commander in charge of the search was surprised that he didn't know what to look for and how important it was.

It was the same for succession presidents.

“I know that Table A or something has contributed to the development of basic science in the United States since World War II, so what is it that's missing? ”

“We can't reveal that. ”

“Even to the President of the United States? ”

“Yes, I only adhere to that attitude. ”

“Bullshit.”

The president was stunned. On the other hand, I was shocked.

"What the hell is democracy? ’

A research institute that cannot give orders, and that cannot be reported unless there is a special circumstance. It was even offensive that such a thing existed.

“Did I mention that the missing object is a metal object 40 meters long? It's not like a nuclear warhead, is it? ”

“It's not like that at all. I think I've heard it's a very valuable specimen for molecular material research. ”

“Okay, then we need to clear the Navy's emergency perimeter. ”

“Mr. President.”

“You said it wasn't a dangerous object. How long can the U.S. Navy keep scouring the ocean? I'm a judge who's complaining about how strange the US military is trying to do things in many countries. ”

“ ……. ”

“The Navy must withdraw, and from now on, proceed with the search in the usual manner. I want the CIA to take over. ”

The CIA director had no choice but to leave the Presidential Office.

After a hard search, the U.S. Navy generals were finally able to withdraw their search and take a break.

Even though they didn't know what to look for, they were deeply exhausted. The command said nothing more.

Table A also held a meeting between seven members under the leadership of Deputy Chief Goofgenie Kissin.

“I opened up the possibilities in different directions, but I think the Arctic Blade disappeared on its own. ”

“There can be no one who can break into the U.S. Navy's surveillance and steal the giant object stored in the Table A research vessel hangar. Actually, it didn't make any sense from the start. ”

“But do you think disappearing on your own makes sense? ”

“Arctic blades are infinite objects. No matter what happens, it can't be weird. ”

Following a summary of what happened that day, and a detailed search, seven members concluded that the academic blades themselves had disappeared.

In fact, there was no reasonable explanation.

“The only thing that bothers me...... is that Shin Hyojin was alone in a hangar with an academic blade. ”

And it was a natural order for Shin Hyojin to stay for a moment with the eyes of suspicion.

“But she has no motive. There's no reason for that. ”

“So is Dr. Han Seo-jin. In fact, it's like owning an academic blade, and there's no way you can pretend to be one of us. ”

The absurd possibility that Han Seo-jin would design something to monopolize an archaic blade.

But no matter how hard you try, is it possible to circumvent U.S. military surveillance and steal something that big?

Even if he could, why would he do that?

“So, shall we stop the search? ”

“The current regime will think it's even weirder if we call it off so soon because we've lost something important. At least until they give up on themselves. ”

“I've lost my Archaeological blades…… I'm worried about the identity of our Table A in the future. ”

The report is missing. That is, there was a strange sword that the strong soldiers couldn't hold at all.

However, because six of the seven members did not know about it, the whereabouts of the Archaeological Blade became a secret that only three people knew about.

* * *

“Anyway, happy ending, Hyojin. ”

After the committee meeting ended, Seojin immediately went to Shin Hyo-jin and told him the conclusion. She said with a dark face.

“I don't feel comfortable deceiving them. ”

Nitron strokes her hand and asks her for help.

“This is a path that respects the choice of an academic blade. The doctors at Table A don't matter. No, we've taken that fruit by unauthorized occupying of the archaic blades. ”

Han Seo-jin smiled bitterly next to me, then he looked at me and said.

“By the way, professor, that promise I felt a few days ago when the three of us were together. ”

“Why is that? Aether Storm, perhaps? ”

“We noticed a slight ether reaction at that point across the globe. It seems that Tartarus monitoring systems didn't have any special alarms, not at the level that would threaten humanity. But it seems that the earthquake happened not only in our country, but all over the planet. ”

“The whole planet? Well, that's odd. ”

Shin Hyojin was startled by their conversation and looked down at the new sword.

Did I talk to you? No, it can't be... ’

At that time, Shin Hyo-jin clearly felt it.

Just like last time, a slight earth-shattering echo.
