The Returner

2. Huh? Then can I go too? (5)

East Potomac Park.

Woof! Woof!

In the middle of a vast East Potomac Park, talents of the NDF dressed in battle clothes have reported.

“Ugh... ”

As soon as American teleporters with yellow faces moved a person, they continued to fake nausea and teleport back to Korea.

“Sir, I am no longer……. ”

“No more what? ”

“… No. ”

In Christopher's resolute voice, the teleporter teleported back to Korea without saying anything.

“Tsk, tsk, these days.... ”

When I was active in the Vietnam War, I fought with the Vietnamese and didn't say a word.

The skeleton is thinner!

It was Christopher who insisted that if the situation had been resolved, he would have managed to capture their state of mind.

To do that, it's best to send training to him....

Looking at the prestigious NDF agents, American abilities seem relatively humble.

“Director.”

“I thought you said Chris was nice, Mr. Choi. ”

“You're not used to it. ”

“You'd better get used to it slowly. But……. ”

Christopher looks around and asks.

“Where is Lee Hyuk? ”

“I'm not here yet. ”

“Why?”

“He said he was annoyed at the end. I'm in my office right now, sucking on the ice Americano, watching cartoons. ”

“... Is there no crisis? ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled bitterly.

Only the mother of Lee Hyuk can create a crisis for Lee Hyuk.

He's a fuck-up in front of the president, too. Where would he feel the crisis?

“Is it the devil's salary?”

“Not that I can feel. What do I know so much about not being able to do anything? It seemed to me that I had a similar energy to the Demon Kings that had come this far. ”

“... Why are there so many of his Demon Kings in the factory?" ”

“I said! ”

Christopher was excited to meet someone who had empathized for a while.

How can you think like this about him?

“Is that why you're not so nervous? ”

You know that Lee Hyuk has many Demon Kings, so you don't have to think that it's weird for the new Demon King to come by anytime.

“But you went in there? ”

“Yes.”

“You made it out okay. ”

“I didn't come out alive. I let him go. He asked me to find Lee Ji-hyuk. ”

“Lee Hyuk? ”

“I see. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon lowered his expression.

It was nothing unusual.

The purpose of the Demon Kings who have invaded Earth so far was not the Earth itself, but Lee Hyuk.

Instead of destroying the Earth, their series of devastating ducs were also closer to attracting the attention of Lee Yi Hyuk.

‘But this time it's really clear. ’

What a sure and ignorant way to take the President of the United States hostage and bring Lee Hyuk here.

“Then everything will be fine until Lee Hyuk arrives. ”

“Hmm, but he said he didn't know when he'd get bored, so he wanted me to know what would happen if I kept stalling. ”

What kind of work?

Well...

It's very common to blow up a city, bring about a zombie apocalypse, just like the previous Demon Kings did.

“Rotten.”

Choi Jung-hoon cried out, looking at the white exterior of the White House from afar.

“Is the evacuation over? ”

“The people in the surrounding cities are still evacuating. What's so easy about evacuating everyone? This is Washington. ”

“Of course you are. ”

It was a priority to evacuate the people nearby.

“So is the U.S. ready? ”

“We've got all the troops we can muster. ”

“Well, that's a relief. ”

“Stop groaning. I know that. It doesn't really help in this situation. Thank God for the Meat Shield. ”

“ ……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon did not try to improve the status of the United States with a good word. Reality is reality.

“This is going to be hard. ”

“In the future? ”

“Yes.”

“I'm thinking about it. That's why I asked you to take charge of training this time.... ”

That son of a bitch got me in trouble.

I need to cut down on Alcatraz's diet budget.

Meanwhile, a group of NDF agents are arriving on the inside.

“That's pretty much it. ”

When Park Seong-chan came to report, Choi Jung-hoon nodded.

Seo Ah-young couldn't help but cheer the passers-by.

“What about Ji Hyuk? ”

“... he was playing around. ”

“Look, I know you're feeling bad, but birds listen to daylight and rats listen to night. ”

“I'll be careful.”

“You know how it is. Yes, I know your heart... ”

“... Calm down, Deputy Director. ”

“You've made an inference. ”

Choi Jung-hoon clear-headed his mind.

“What do you know? ”

Ghostly man.

Choi Jung-hoon polished his face first because of the voice coming from behind his back.

This is important now.

We have to speak freely.

“It's no big deal. You've arrived, by the way.”

“Ha……. ”

Lee Hyuk looked back, making an impression.

“If you're late, America will fly away? ”

“America doesn't fly, but the president could die! ”

“No, no, no! ”

“Now……. ”

“… Huh? ”

Jung Jae-min gave something to Lee Hyuk without saying anything.

“What is this? ”

“Burger. I got it for you. You're going, right?”

“Yes.”

“Eat.”

“Yes.”

Choi Jung-hoon slammed his head as he watched Lee Hyuk unravel the burger wrapping paper and begin to eat.

There it was! ’

By the way... When I first arrived here, I was a human who ate kimchi stew by three people.

Even Captain Jung In-soo was defeated with one sweets!

Why did I ever forget that?

Is it wrong of him to forget, or is it great of Jeong-min to know that Lee Hyuk has that tendency?

Well, well.

“Is it good?”

“Massage"

... but there's something...

I think she's taking care of the baby.

Something subtle, something.

While Jung-hoon was thinking about it, Christopher turned around and approached Lee Hyuk.

“Are you here?”

Nod.

It was Lee Hyuk who kept shredding his mouth and sticking his head together.

“I see you like burgers. I should have been prepared. I'll be sure to have it ready the next time you come. ”

“Come again next time? After I think I'm crazy.... ”

“Let's have a Coke. ”

“Yes.”

Gulp gulp.

Christopher whispered to Choi Jung-hoon's ear as he watched Lee Hyuk sucking a Coke.

“What about her? ”

“I'm Jung Hae-min. He's our teleporter. ”

“Isn't it Lee Hyuk's controller? ”

“ ……. ”

Christopher's eyes glared dangerously at the people.

Arthur. He's... not someone I can take with me.

But...

Gayuna.

Why are you wiping his mouth?

What a five-year-old kid!

If you're dripping hamburger cheese, eat it properly. What if you're wiping it?

Choi Jung-hoon shook his head.

Everyone's weird.

It's really weird for everyone.

“What's the situation?”

“In my view, a female human being who looks like a Demon King is currently holding the president hostage and is sitting ducks. ”

“Nong Seong... What's the purpose?"

“I don't know.”

Christopher blurred his words.

At that moment, Lee Hyuk's eyes narrowed.

“Don't you know?”

“Well, yes. ”

“You have a hostage with no purpose, and the president is being held hostage, and you don't even know what the purpose is? And you urge me to hurry? ”

“That……. ”

“That sucks. Sir, are you hiding something from me? ”

“… Like I said before, I can't talk. ”

“Hmm……. ”

I stared at Christopher with thin eyes.

“Well, okay. I know. I'll get you. But you do realize that's going to cost you even more, right? ”

“Of course.”

“Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“Yes.”

Choi Jung-hoon took the documents without a word and presented them to Christopher.

“Sign it.”

“Hnng... ”

Christopher signed the papers without looking.

“Haven't you read it? ”

“Even if you ask me to negotiate in this situation, it's not going to work, and if the president is beaten while negotiating, something terrible will happen. I trust you won't be making any unfair demands from us. ”

Choi Jeong-hoon, who met Christopher's eyes full of trust, opened the document as he wept.

“… we will remove the two clauses. ”

This motherfucker?

Are you trying to fuck with me?

Wow, you said you didn't trust anyone!

Choi Jung-hoon slashed two lines of paperwork and signed on them, avoiding Christopher's shaking eyes.

“Then the conditions are set.... ”

“… Let's talk later, Mr. Choi. ”

“Sure, Chris. ”

Only when it's like this, Chris, only when it's like this!

“So that's why you're going to kill the guy in there? ”

“The president should never be harmed. ”

“It's no big deal to die for that inspiration anyway. ”

“Symbolity, symbolism. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk looked at the White House with an unfit face and asked.

“And the building? ”

“I'd like to preserve it, but it won't be easy. Do as you please. ”

“Okay, but……. ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

“Are there any other children here besides us? ”

“What other kids? ”

“I think I see someone other than the talents. ”

“This is from the Department of Defense. because we can't go without the support of the Army. ”

“Well, combat troops? ”

“I'm not a combat soldier. They're looking at indoor conditions. ”

Lee Hyuk asked as if it was strange.

“Then……. ”

“Yes?”

“What are they? ”

Lee Hyuk stretched out his hand and pointed to one side.

Across the window of the Presidential Office, you see a series of hordes.

“Huh?"

Christopher was embarrassed and had an affair.

I've never seen anything like it.

“Stop, no way! ”

Crazy bastards!

I told you never to mess with me like that!

“Are those snipers? ”

“Sniping.... ”

There's no way he could have been shot inside the Oval Office. That glass is no ordinary glass!

If that's even possible, it's not the White House!

“I think I'll shoot. ”

“Oh, no! ”

Taang!

But before Christopher's voice could reach it, a huge gunshot sounded.

Then…….

Everything falls into silence.

“ ……. ”

Christopher McClaren was speechless.

I don't think so.

You can't be serious.

“Wow, is that glass good? ”

Is it visible in Lee Hyuk's eyes?

“No, did you stop him? ”

“No. Only the bullet holes remain. It didn't break.”

“... these bastards. ”

Christopher had lost his mind in anger.

What the hell is going on here?

“Umm, by the way... ”

“Yes?”

“You know, the president or something. ”

“Yes.”

“I can't save you. ”

“… What do you mean? ”

“Look.”

Goooooooooo!

At that moment, Magi, who was black, began to burst out like a cloud through a gap in the White House and through the door.

“Ah……. ”

“I'm pissed. ”

You don't have to say it, man!
