Untouchable: Reaper of the Battlefield

226. New York and the Beast - 2

“The power suit is a bit……. ”

James Spader looks embarrassed and hesitates.

I just cut my vows.

“Pack your bags! I'm going back to the plane tonight. ”

As soon as the vows were issued, the Shadow Warrior members were scattered to their rooms.

Only Oberon remains, except vows and James Spader.

He doesn't know what to do with a smile or a sad look on his face. It was not easy for him to get to New York.

By the time Oberon's loan cooperation notice arrived, the State Department had turned its back.

It's not uncommon for agents to travel abroad. However, according to the official statement, Oberon's borrowing objective is to deal with XX-1 grade horseshoes.

The ratings of the water supplies are in C, B, A, and X order according to risk.

Typically, a strategic nuclear weapon is designated as Class X with the presence of energy generated when it explodes.

When a megaton of strategic nuclear weapons explodes, humans within two to three kilometers evaporate immediately, and most objects within a radius of five to six kilometers are dismantled by the afterstorm. The combined power of all the explosives used in World War II is only three megatons.

The grade of the horse that appeared in the basement of Gangnam Station was X-3.

X-3 means that it contains the third largest bioenergy of Class X water ever observed.

Manhattan's number is XX-1.

Two X's means it holds two megatons of nuclear energy in its body. The number 1 that follows also means that it is the world's first observed XX class of horses.

Magic is also a living thing, so you can't just cut it off. However, the man in Manhattan is more than twice as fierce and more likely to be twice as dangerous as the horse in Gangnam Station.

When only three Bionic Soldiers were injured in the United States, the Secretary of State refused to borrow Oberon because it compromised Korean security. I could not send my precious resources to limb.

Whenever the Secretary of State stepped forward and expressed his intention to refuse, there was oil and pressure everywhere. He even went to the president.

The longer I endured, the more my neck will fly.

The Secretary of State had no choice but to send Oberon.

Oberon is struck by lightning, checking the expression on his vow and lowering his head. I didn't know much about vows, but I was sure of one thing.

What he says outside his mouth is that he must be a man who keeps his word.

After a brief flick of New York City's fabulous life, Oberon heads down to his room.

As only two negotiators remained, James Spader looked at the vows and said.

“Hmmm. Providing all the equipment necessary for the operation is valid. But the five sets of power suits are too much, aren't they? Besides, the friend who entered the room was an agent of the Korean government. How can you give such a man an American tactical weapon? ”

The vows show no reaction.

The most challenging person in a disadvantage during a negotiation is when they don't know what the other person is thinking. James Spader, who couldn't read anything on the vow's face, was thirsty.

“Ask for that much cash. Even for me, five sets of power suits are impossible. I'll give you anything you want instead of a power suit. ”

It was surprisingly that way.

If the opponent had come out of a normal relationship like this, the vow would have acted reluctantly and listened to the request. He is not a ruthless style of pushing for his own gain. However, the man in front of him is not an ordinary man. And now it's not just a trading relationship.

Given the situation in the United States of America?

It's the same as homeless people worrying about Microsoft's future.

“What's the most important thing in the world? ”

In a sudden answer to a vow question, James Spader fixed his silver glasses and replied.

“Isn't that the life of a man? We're here to save lives. ”

“Yes. A man's life is most precious. But are all human lives worth the same? ”

The vows asked questions about the value of life.

Everyone who works in security, military and intelligence has some experience thinking about it. However, no matter how deeply we think about it, there are no answers.

James Spader believes that each person's life has a different value. It is clear who to rescue first when at risk of homelessness and the president. But he couldn't reveal his true heart.

At least in front of others, we should say that all people are equal, and that our unique values are equal regardless of status and property. He believed it was the right approach for a man to lead an organization.

“All life's worth is equal. Yes, of course. ”

As James Spader nods, his vows tilt.

“All the values of life are equal? Then why discriminate? ”

“What does that mean? ”

“All the SCOs underground at the World Trade Center must have worn power suits, right? ”

“Th-that's right. ”

“Just because they all pay for the power suit and can't pay us, doesn't that mean your crew can't get hurt and ours can? You said every life is worth the same. ”

It's an absurd ulcer, but James Spader has forgotten what to say.

With calculation and logic, there is no such thing as a vow that George's ability to attack his opponent with his bare feet. But he knew the timing was off. Now is the time to hit it very hard.

“Since you haven't signed the contract yet, let's pretend there hasn't been one. You'd better check out the Underground Firm. Maybe you can get someone to die for you. If you're lucky. ”

When entrusting work to Bionic Energy Holders not affiliated with a particular organization, they typically use an agency called the Underground Firm.

There are three underground firms in the United States.

They relay their work, limit their fees, and then pay the contractor when the mission is over.

James Spader has been trying for the past decade to identify the existence of underground firms and bring them into institutional embrace. But without a phone number, an office, or an email, they were the heroes who could only be contacted through a blank page on the Darkweb.

I've tried several times to track down a capable SCO hacker. But they all stopped at nothing.

Now the underground pump will sink under the scent of the SCO, but not rats or birds. I tried to contact you several times because of the Manhattan incident, but there was no response to how you found out.

James Spader, who can't reach the Underground Firm, will have to travel around the world and beg for Bionic Soldiers as vows return to Iraq. However, none of the countries in the world will give up their own Bionic Soldiers. There will be tremendous costs such as tariff cuts, exchange rates, capital investments, and military aid.

“Ahhhh... ”

James Spader sighs deeply.

Despite the sigh of fading of the land of the elderly, the expression of the vow did not change a bit. Rather, he glanced at James Spader with a boundary glance.

The person who is most wary of vows is a beautiful woman (who approached with a purpose), an elderly person (who is good at hiding her mind), and a child (holding a bomb).

He thought it was because of the data that James Spader was trying to put himself into this.

James Spader, who couldn't sacrifice his Bionic Soldier, thought he was going to put in some decent people to collect data on his weaknesses and attacks on the Beast.

He is looking for someone who will die for him, even if it costs him a great price. Bioenergy holders in the United States who are aware of this process are likely to have rejected James Spader's proposal on the ground.

For this reason, I thought James Spader was so hung up on himself that I'd never seen him before.

As the people in the room begin to gather one by one with trunks in their hands, James Spader becomes desperate.

Reports show that vows are a type of action that must be taken. These people are hard to reverse once their minds are turned.

Deep wrinkles have been dug into James Spader's forehead. He said in a voice of empowerment.

“Five power suits are hard to handle. You're the only American of these five, aren't you? Please consider the possibility that the Power Suit is a strategic weapon that cannot be paid to foreigners, even if an exception is applied. ”

I have heard that the Korean government has made great efforts to import old power suits worn by Oberon from the United States.

What James Spader said must be true. The vows, however, did not concern the SCO. I'm not going to ask you to come back here again until I get a chance to cheer you up.

“Give me a moment. ”

When things didn't work out, James Spader sat on the couch with his cell phone.

He buries something in a small voice and instructs.

The vows and the group sit around the table waiting for James Spader's call to end. The group is silent, knowing how important this situation is.

Seowon resigned after using the force to eavesdrop on James Spader's call. He was convinced of his victory.

James Spader made a 30-minute phone call and walked to the table.

“All four power suits the SCO can afford. This is non-negotiable. ”

He confidently demanded five, but in practice he expected at least two or up to three. However, when the offer exceeded expectations, the vows brought joy to the mind. But he said without revealing his emotions.

“Let's hear all the terms and conditions. ”

James Spader looked at the dragon, Terry Cummings and Harry Giles and said:

“A state-of-the-art power suit cannot be sold and leased to foreigners. Whoever wears a power suit must be an American citizen. If you're willing to change your nationality, we'll take care of the business. ”

Harry Giles and Terry Cummings thought about American immigration when they met their families in a mansion in Washington after the Colombian mission ended. However, the immigration work was on hold because the procedures and qualifications were too complicated and inconvenient.

The two look at each other's faces and nod.

James Spader looked directly at his vows.

“The maintenance of the power suit paid must be mandatory through the SCO once every six months and cannot be removed from the United States. And it must be pre-approved when deployed. Any violation of these terms will result in the penalty of violating national security laws. ”

It was a difficult and annoying condition. However, it was acceptable because the Shadow Warrior's headquarters were in the United States.

The vow nodded and James Spader revealed his final condition.

“Last but not least, we have one more mission to claim four Power Suits. This is our final offer. ”

The next day, under the presence of counsel, vows and James Spader signed a contract.

They were all bright faces. Only Oberon, who was excluded from the operation, had a poop face.

I wanted to say that I would change my nationality and work for the Shadow Warrior. But he knew better that it was impossible.

Excluded from the operation, he and Gary Jackson decided to go on a remote support mission. It was unacceptable for him to work only in the field his whole life, but I wanted to see him work at a distance rather than return to Korea without any income.

Once signed, he shook hands with James Spader.

“Now that the contract has started, let's take a look at the site. ”

When James Spader gestured, two men in suits installed computing equipment, including three monitors, on the dining table.

People gathered in front of the monitor with curious faces. However, after a while, the monitor brightened, and my curiosity flew away.

The dragon said.

“You want us to deal with that? ”

Seowon nodded lightly. His voice was buzzing somewhere.

“Doesn't the power suit look great to you? ”

The expression on James Spader's face, looking at his vows from a step away, is completely crumpled.

It was the first person to witness the beast who was as relaxed as a vow. I was very worried that he would be able to extract as much data as he needed.

As opposed to James Spader, his long-standing vow to the Beast was full of anticipation.

He rubs his palms and asks James Spader.

“When will my weapon be completed? ”

“Five days later. ”

Seowon's taste buds were full of excitement.

The colleagues were surprised to see the vows.

At least at this moment, vows seemed like people who didn't have feelings of fear.
