Chapter 36 U.S. Suggestions (3)

“I can't believe the Americans have already moved! ”

After the call with Seong-jun, Hyundai hurriedly left the Hunter administration building in a coat. Then I drove to Seong-jun's officetel.

There were many cars on the road and the heart of Hyunsung was in a hurry. He calls the Chief of Investigation's mortgage when he gets stuck in traffic.

I couldn't even see him in a hurry to get out.

When the hell did you get out of there?

I thought it was different, but I didn't see it, so I dropped the complaint. However, I decided to explain the phenomenon without embarrassment for a good reason.

“I've been contacted by Kang Sung-jun and I'm on my way to you now. ”

- To Kang Sung-jun? Explain yourself!

“I don't have time to elaborate. What's clear is that the United States moved faster than we thought. ”

- I'm sorry?

The voice of the disease over the smartphone was stiff. It was a short explanation, but I understood how serious the situation was.

“It's an emergency. I need all the power I can get to Kang Sung-jun. Please contact your organization. ”

He was commissioned to do all the work related to Seong-jun, but that was about all the power of the administration. I did not have the authority to associate with national benefits such as tax exempt benefits.

- But we don't even know what the United States has to offer. Don't you think you need to be careful?

“If you were in America, you would know the value of Kang Sung-jun. It is expected that you have already given a considerable condition. If you move carefully, you will get hurt. You need to be bold. ”

The phenomenon was resolute. He could hear the agonizing groaning coming out of his smartphone.

- I'll convince the superiors to buy us some time.

Even in the asylum of Park Kyeong-seok and the attitude of the non-compliant leader, even though the disease was trying, it was unlikely that authority related to national privileges would be granted, but I had to hope.

“I'll do my best. ”

- Remember, you must never lose Kang Sung-jun!

The traffic jam ended horribly because the call ended. Hyunsung drove to Seong-jun's officetel. Soon after arriving at the officetel building, Seong-jun called.

- Come on up.

I heard Sung-jun's voice. Hyunsung took an elevator up to his house. Seong-jun left the door open.

“Excuse me.”

Hyunsung carefully entered into Seongjun's house.

“You're early. ”

Seong-jun was sitting in a chair drinking coffee.

“Have a seat.”

At Seong-jun's words, Hyunsung sat in front of him without a word. Seong-jun took a piece of paper out of his arms and gave it to him.

A paper that benefited from Jennifer's exile to the United States.

“These are the conditions that you proposed to me in the United States. ”

Hyunsung swallowed the documents and read them.

‘I didn't think it would be like this.... ’

The conditions proposed by the United States were radical and some things were unexpected.

‘Was the United States rating Kang Sung-joon this high...? ’

It was far too extreme for Hunter's preferred policy. From the benefits listed on the paper, I could see how he was evaluating Seong-jun in the United States.

“What can South Korea do for me? ”

Seong-jun asked directly. The eyes of the star shake. There was nothing he could confirm without power.

It was the moment he was about to open his mouth with a dark look on his face. Smartphone notifications have informed me that a message has arrived.

“Excuse me for a moment. ”

Seong-jun nodded and checked the smartphone screen. It was a message from the plague.

[Approval granted!]

It was short, but it had a lot of meaning. The face of the phenomenon was illuminated, confirming the message of the disease. He quickly put his smartphone in and opened his mouth while looking at Seongjun.

“What are your requirements? ”

Negotiations have begun: Seong-jun has a positive attitude, but if there's one thing he regrets about South Korea, it's that Kim Hyun-seong is an investigator and not a negotiator.

A fierce push and pull unfolded, but eventually it ended with a life-experienced victory for Seong-jun.

“Permanent 30% additional settlement, right? ”

“Of course. You negotiate better than I thought. ”

“I'll take that as a compliment. ”

Seong-jun smiled. He not only benefited from the majority of the benefits the United States promised him, he also increased the permanent additional settlement to 30%.

Due to U.S. movements, the Korean government mistakenly underestimated the social experience of Seong-jun, who was only in her 20s, and entrusted her to Hyunsung, not a negotiator.

“So, shall we fill out a temporary contract? ”

If there was one thing I felt frustrated about in my past life and present life, it was that I should not believe what people said.

Contracts are essential when dealing with important issues.

“If not, I brought the contract. You have completed the required steps and you only need to fill in any additional information, such as percentage or number. ”

Hyunsung said, removing the envelope containing the temporary contract from the briefcase. Seong-jun carefully examined the contract given by Hyunsung.

I was cautious because I had seen many times on Hunter.com that I did not read the contract in detail and then entered into fraudulent or unfair contracts.

“The conditions are better than the United States, and there's no problem. ”

After reading the contract, Seong-jun signed it first and pushed towards Hyunsung. Hyunsung also took out a pen and finished signing.

The probability of offering a better condition in the United States was 0. Seong-jun could be sure of that.

“It was a satisfactory contract. ”

I smiled brightly at Seong-jun's mouth. I felt good because I was able to get a lot of good conditions from the Republic of Korea thanks to the United States.

After sending Hyundai, Seongjun called Jennifer's contact number.

- Yes, this is Jennifer.

A voice came from my smartphone. Different accents, but fluent in Korean.

“I think we should reject the terms of our proposal in the United States. ”

- May I ask why?

“The Korean government has offered much better terms. ”

- If you don't mind, can I ask you the terms? We can offer you better terms.

Jennifer asked, her voice on her smartphone had a nervous mind.

“There are several, but the additional settlement is 30%. ”

- 30 percent?

Seong-jun smiled because she seemed to be reminded of her surprised face beyond her smartphone.

“Do you think I'd lie my way out of this? ”

- No, I don't think you're lying to me.

Jennifer replies. When he thinks about it, Seong-jun is not so foolish.

“I don't think I'll raise the terms in the United States, so I went ahead with the contract. ”

- You know my country well.

Jennifer didn't deny it. Although a priority order was issued, she was not delegated to power, unlike the realm.

“But let me know if you're willing to make a better offer. Just in case, there's a deal in the contract that can be overturned. ”

- You're being discreet.

Jennifer expressed her honest feelings.

“I'll take that as a compliment. ”

- We'll be in touch.

“Do it. ”

The call is over. She should be in touch with her superiors by now.

* * *

As expected, Jennifer was on her way to Korea's home base where she was staying to contact Delta headquarters.

Soon after arriving at the Node, she entered the locker room and requested a video communication with Delta HQ.

- Agent Jennifer, is this a sitrep?

The man who appeared on the screen was Lewis, head of Delta Headquarters. He seemed tired of being overworked.

“Yes, sir. ”

- Yeah, what's the status?

“Kang Sung-jun has rejected the asylum proposal. ”

I had no good reason not to.

Luis said with an unbelievable look on his face. Jennifer opened her mouth calmly to explain why.

“The South Korean government offered several advantages, but the most obvious one was that it offered 30 percent. ”

At Jennifer's report, Louis looked even more surprised.

-30%? I thought the Korean government never authorized an additional 30% commission for one Hunter...

“It seems that this is an unusual situation. The Republic of Korea government seems to be highly valuing Kang Sung-jun. ”

- This is bad.

Luis' expression darkens. Jennifer opened her mouth with a look that she didn't know what it meant.

“Chief?”

- They're allies, not rival states. Calling in 30% additional settlement is like some kind of protest. This way, we won't be able to move easily either.

The ROK government is protesting as an ally, Lewis said. I was also concerned that further intervention would be detrimental to my alliance.

Unlike Central Hunter Director Ferrix, who has been instrumental in securing the SSS-grade Hunter, Lewis was looking at a slightly larger picture.

“Does it mean I can't move easily...? ”

- It's hard to carry out orders first.

“Are you giving up the order? ”

In Jennifer's question, Louis locks in cynicism.

- It's a priority order, but it's not mandatory.

“I see.”

Jennifer nods. Luis opens his mouth, looking at her on the screen.

- SS-grade hunters aren't common. I think there's a good chance that Kang Sung-jun won't make it to that point. Then we may need to sacrifice our relationship with the allies to secure him.

Lewis' words may sound cold, but they are theoretical.

The likelihood that Seong-jun would reach the SSS class was very low compared to others, and he would become an SSS class hunter. That's why, unlike Ferrix, Lewis didn't expect much.

“However, I think Kang Sung-jun may be promoted to SSS class Hunter. ”

Jennifer said she had seen Seong-jun for the first time, but had a chance to look at the data in the meantime. Combining the information in the data, Seongjun was likely to become an SSS-grade hunter.

- Then we can move again. You don't have to take the risk right now.

“Your ransom must have gone up a lot. ”

- Don't forget, our nationality. If the mainland is fully operational, we can take out an SSS-grade hunter. Even forcibly.

“Is the target an allied hunter? ”

At Jennifer's question, Lewis raises his mouth.

“There are risks now because it's uncertain, but it's worth it for Kang, who became an SSS-grade hunter. Even if you lose an ally, you'll gain an SSS-grade Hunter. But now there's a chance he won't get promoted to SSS class, so let's be discreet. ”
