The Returner

4. What is Lee Ri Hyuk doing? (4)

Choi Jung-hoon looked at the phone with a fat face.

“You're not giving me time to eat a burger. ”

That's what government officials do.

No, not just any public servant, right?

I've never been to work on time in my life as a government official, so I have a strange bias.

Choi Jung-hoon raised his phone while shaking his head excitedly.

“Mmmm... ”

Although it was said to have become famous since Lee Hyuk started slamming, the nominal award still floated to the Director's number.

‘Did I get it?'

I thought it was going to take a lot of time because of the accident, but it seemed to take longer than I thought.

Now the nagging bombs will fall.

Although it is always necessary to clean up what I did not do, today, Jung-hoon took a deep breath and got a phone call, especially when he had an objectionable thought.

“Yes, this is Jung-hoon Choi. ”

Choi Jung-hoon tilted his head as he heard a voice pouring out like rapid fire.

“Yes, it is. Yes, yes. ”

Choi Jung-hoon, who was answering the phone with a strange face, looked up at Lee Hyuk.

“Yes, I'm with you now……. ”

Other people laughed at Choi Jeong-hoon's reaction because they didn't know the language.

“I understand. I'll see you then. ”

Choi Jung-hoon hung up on me.

“What's going on? ”

When Seo Ah-young asked, Choi Jung-hoon opened his mouth while looking at Lee Yi Hyuk with a strange face that he could not express in a word.

“I mean, the monsters that Lee Hyuk chased away are heading towards Pyongyang right now. ”

“Pyongyang?”

Seo Ah-young's face was stiff.

If Pyongyang is trampled on by monsters, even she thinks it's not a problem. It was the same story as North Korea's collapse.

“So?”

“North Korea's defenses are being opened, but there's no stopping it. It won't be easy to block one gate at a time, but many of those gates are open at once. ”

“Of course.”

Seo Ah-young and the monsters who were pushed out endlessly were seen with his own eyes.

If it weren't for Lee Hyuk, she would have bitten the NDFs behind her back with no thumb to stop her. If North Korea can't stop it, it's a big problem, and even if it can, it's a big problem.

“It would be diplomatic, wouldn't it? ”

It also becomes associated with the most unwanted country in the world. If I thought about it, I could see how unthinkable the work Lee Hyuk had created.

Park Sung Din helped.

“But that's not necessarily what you're thinking, is it? ”

“Yes?”

“After the Pyongyang is shattered, the North Koreans will be shattered anyway. What's the diplomatic issue?" There's no need to call me superior. If you swallow the land of North Korea without force, that's it. ”

“Will the North Korean pigs die because of monsters? They're the first ones to run away to save my life. ”

“But if the Pyongyang system collapses, won't they get hit?" You're not going to hold my country accountable. ”

He was right, too.

‘Was Park Sung-chan really that smart? ’

It seems that the physical paradigm was prejudiced. You're not close enough to have a deep conversation, so it was obvious that you couldn't predict the target's intellectual level.

“N-no……. ”

However, when Choi Jung-hoon opened his mouth to be a little embarrassed, the eyes of those who were speaking focused on him.

“I've had an unexpected reaction from North Korea. ”

“Surprisingly? ”

“Well, um……. ”

Choi Jung-hoon scratched his head as if he didn't even know what was going on.

“Lee Hyuk's dispatch must have been requested from North Korea. ”

The heads of the people slowly returned to Lee Hyuk.

No matter what happened, Lee Hyuk breathed a burger as if he didn't care. He opened his mouth blankly without swallowing all the burgers in his mouth.

“Tsk?”

* * *

“It's been fun. ”

Yoon Young-min, president of the Republic of Korea, smiled happily at the good news he had just heard.

Reached out from North Korea first.

Diplomatically, it's been decades of pleasure. Although North Korea has assisted in South Korea's reconciliation mood in the past, it's been a long time since we've bowed our heads and made a request like this.

To put it bluntly, it was a huge lethal force.

If we can improve our status and our relationship with North Korea, it shouldn't be that difficult to become the best president in history in the future.

“To think North Korea bowed first. ”

My pride in the subject of beggars is so profane that North Korea, which was used to making people tired by putting up useless quarrels and biting everything.

Where is something more cheerful than this?

“Unless Lee Hyuk is involved. ”

Park Doo-jin, the secretary, choked on Yoon Young-min's good mood.

“Hnng.”

Yoon Young-min suffered from the trauma associated with Lee Hyuk who had been unable to see work for a while.

“Yes, that's right... ”

Yoon Young-min's voice disappeared.

Just thinking about Lee Hyuk made me feel like I was losing my strength.

“Yes, Lee Hyuk is the problem, Lee Hyuk. ”

Yoon Young-min's voice was sad.

Why did heaven give such power to such a man?

No matter how many opportunities and crises come together, it is not a joke to put those opportunities and crises in one body.

If such a person had such capability in front of him, by now, Korea would be a country that encompasses the world, why is Yoon Young-min suddenly created by such capabilities in humans?

“… What happened to Lee Ji-hyuk? ”

“We are contacting you through Choe Jung-hoon. ”

“Will I be contacted? ”

“The news about the United States seems to be getting through to us. ”

“America?"

“He went for a hamburger. ”

Yoon Young-min closed her eyes.

Burgers in this emergency.

They usually go to America to get a burger.

Jealousy... Oh, this isn't it.

Yoon Young-min caught the confused spirit.

“So what happened? Are you saying you agree with the assignment? ”

“That is... … ”

“Tell me about it. ”

“They say they're coming this way for now. ”

Yoon Young-min tilted her head.

What's that supposed to mean?

This way?

So...

“You're coming to Cheongwa? ”

“That's right.”

“Heeheeheeheeheeheehee!”

Yoon Young-min freaked out and shouted.

“No, why! Why are you coming here? Why?”

“Calm down, Mr. President. ”

“I'm calm now that he's coming here! Ask the President of the United States! Lee Hyuk is coming. Will you calm down? ”

‘Well, it's sentimental, I understand. ’

I still have a body structure, but I think it's too much of a fuss.

I don't know if it's wrong for Yoon Young Min to shake his head because Lee Hyuk is coming or Lee Hyuk to make the president of the country come here.

“So, what did you decide? ”

“How do I stop someone from coming? And given the importance of the matter, how is it that you have to be the Secretary of Defense to be the Secretary of State? ”

“Hnng.”

He was right.

It is a matter of exerting South Korea's highest force on North Korea, which cannot be neglected. Of course, the top powers of the Republic of Korea were right to have discussions face to face.

That's true...

“My stomach hurts... …. ”

“Not this time. ”

“That really hurts. ”

“I'll prepare painkillers and medicine. ”

“… can I stay here? ”

“No. ”

Yoon Young-min sighed because of the resolute voice of Park Doo-jin.

“I'm the president! I'm taking a break!”

“If that's the case, I'll send Lee Ji-hyuk to the room. ”

“… I'm sorry. I've been sober for a while. Where were we?”

“This is a meeting.”

Yoon Young-min nodded with a bitter face.

“First of all, prepare the ministers of relations and practitioners. ”

“I have a problem. ”

“What is it?”

“I called the ministers first, but the Foreign Minister hung up and went diving before I could finish saying Lee Hyuk. ”

“… Again? ”

“Yes.”

Yoon Young-min shook her head excitedly.

“Dismiss. I'll get a new one. ”

“Are you neglectful? ”

“No, I just twisted my stomach. ”

“ ……. ”

“Humiliating, but fleeing for your life. ”

Park Du-jin nodded, reminding again of the ordinary truth that normal conversations are hard when it is related to Lee Hyuk.

“I'll do it anyway. ”

“Go ahead."

“And, Mr. President, ”

“Go ahead.”

“How do we get this to the press? The reporters who are sniffing are starting to grow. ”

“Block it.”

“There are limits. ”

“… are you going to expose Lee Hyuk's face on the main TV news? ”

The heartbeat shakes its head with a serious face.

“That's a big deal. ”

We cannot reveal the existence of Lee Ji-hyuk to the people. However, rumors have already spread that there are some of the world's top powers in Amri.

It's just not exactly who it is.

The name Lee Hyuk is widespread, but the face of Lee Hyuk or the details of Lee Hyuk are still very secret.

Fortunately, Lee Hyuk's escape from the Talent Residence was very rare, so it was still somewhat confidential. However, if Lee Hyuk openly accepts North Korea's request to do so, he cannot hide his existence.

“The press is going to be very against it. ”

“Rather than the revolt of the people... ”

“I'm afraid so. ”

If Lee Hyuk is found out, the people will cheer for a while.

But how far will it go?

What if the people find out that the ruling figures in each country are so out of control that they don't want to face each other?

What if he realizes that he has enough power to ignore even the words of a South Korean elected president?

The social atmosphere will be uncovered in no time.

Otherwise, a frightening atmosphere is being created where abilities and ordinary people are discriminated against, and the emergence of capabilities that are not controlled by the power of the state could be poured into the fire.

“Yikes, I'm not even Hong Gil-dong, and I can't call my father my father my father. ”

“That's all politics is, isn't it? ”

“That's right."

Yoon Young-min nodded.

How well you use the bomb, Lee Hyuk, will prove his political competence. I don't know what happens when things don't work out.

“So where is Lee Hyuk now? ”

“I'll come straight to Teleport, so you can come right here. If not, he'll stop by the NDF. Either way, it won't take long. ”

“... I hope we don't get into any trouble once we get there. ”

“Must something be wrong?

I spit it out without thinking about it, but I didn't think it would be a seed for him to know.
