Flights from Baghdad by Emirates arrived at Incheon Airport via Abu Dhabi Airport. The average traveler walked out of the gate with a stiff, sturdy face and a fast pace.

It was 4 hours after Joon-won Kim arrived at Incheon Airport.

* * *

He didn't like Harry Ralph's work for the first time.

It's okay to meet someone at a hotel for work. However, I did not understand the need to leave a healthy hotel room and use the spacious Grand Ballroom used as a venue.

It felt like an American waste to eat more than necessary, to pursue more glamour than necessary, and to be wider than necessary. However, as soon as he opened the door of the Grand Ballroom that was much larger than his height, he realized that his thoughts were wrong. There were dozens of people inside the venue.

The first person to notice Seowon's eyes was a tall man with over 190 centimeters tall and beautifully shaped hair. Surrounded by so many people, he was emitting such a great presence that he could see it from afar.

I met the thin fingers of an artist who plays an instrument and the crude hands of a warrior who touches weapons.

There were people gathering around them.

Joon-won Kim nodded his head toward the vow. He tried to introduce people to the vows. But before that, the thick voice that sounded for the vows rang out.

“Boss!”

I saw familiar faces beyond those I had never seen.

Seowon smiles, revealing his white teeth.

John Ackins, Gary Jackson, Dragon, and vows were recruits from the Shadow Warrior headquarters who trained directly in Iraq, and Gary Jackson from Washington.

As the vow approaches, the rest of the members stand in a floating position, with the exception of three friends. They don't move, gazing straight ahead.

The unified, understated movements, taken by close to ten Shadow Warrior mercenaries, emitted a dimensional energy unlike those of civilians in the room.

Seowon nodded his head.

“Rest.”

The tension that had been pulled tightly was lifted in a moment.

The vows approach the recruits in a row. He shook hands and greeted each mercenary by calling out their names or nicknames.

John Ackins and the dragon stared at the vows in surprise.

Although they were trained in Iraq and could remember their names, they had no idea that their vows would remember the names of all the mercenaries who were based in Washington headquarters. Gary grabs John's side with his elbow.

“When he came to Washington, he took a shit to remember their names. ”

It was a joke, but John and the dragon did not smile. Two men from the Special Forces know how knowing the name of their subordinates can have a huge impact on fraud.

It is a duty as a supervisor to remember the names of the mercenaries of Washington. However, as soon as I see your face like now, it takes more than time to hit your head so that your name pops up.

“Highball, did your oldest daughter go to high school this time? ”

“How's your mother's health, Osman? ”

Even though the vows didn't have enough to know his name, the faces of the recruits from Washington became gloomy when they asked how the family was.

Kim Junwon glanced at the large mercenaries as if they were children.

Seowon overwhelmed soldiers older and more experienced than him. Without using force, I captured the minds of my subordinates with my head and chest. I thought I didn't have to worry about managing my subordinates, but it was more than I expected in person.

As soon as the vow ended, Joon-won Kim approached.

In a crowd of more than 50 people, his low, soft voice was conveyed to everyone's ears.

“You are all people chosen by me and the members of the Garden. Your work begins today. ”

As Joon-won Kim gestured, the lights in the room darkened. A letter appeared on the screen installed on one wall.

Hyeong-gyu Kim succeeded in obtaining the President's approval. However, when the Japanese stated that Marvin and Harry could not accept the price, their insides exploded.

“You're on your own! In the worst case, we'll only lose two agents, but you'll blow up the capital! ”

I hang up the phone. On the one hand, I feel like I'm burning up thinking of two agents waiting for rescue somewhere underground in Osaka.

He asked for a cigarette in his mouth.

It seemed that despicable eyes flashed in the white smoke of the office.

“Why do you think there's still something going on in the daytime that's been independent of Japan? ”

I heard the voice of the vow in my ears. A sigh came out of Hyeong-gyu Kim's mouth.

The trip between the two agents to Japan was not his decision. But I couldn't say it was because of the Secretary of State's instructions in front of an outsider. People in high places sometimes have to take the job of covering their asses.

He looks out the window at the sky, hoping Oberon and Theseus are safe.

The Seoul sky seemed to be thinking about whether to rain with a frowny face.

An image of the Beast was shown.

Interviews with the stakeholders followed the survivors' experience, and Judith Anderson, who produced the BBC documentary, appeared in person to explain the Beast.

It was a video made in a hurry by Joon-won Kim, but the quality of the video was impressive to the extent that the vows with the deepest knowledge of Beast were made.

After about 30 minutes of video, Joon-won Kim grabbed the microphone.

“A lot of people are furious about the fact that the government has been keeping all these facts a secret. But I want you to think, why has the secret that's been perfectly preserved for 20 years come out now? ”

There was Earth evangelism on the screen and numerous points were taken.

“The area marked on the map is where the Beast has appeared. ”

The map disappears and a bar chart appears.

“This graph shows the frequency of appearance over time. As you can see, the emergence of the Beast is growing exponentially over time.

The appearance of the Beast will be increased in the future, but the number of Bionic Soldiers to deal with it is limited, and the price of the power suits they ride is higher than the state-of-the-art fighters.

Now we're at the limit of processing the Beast with bionic solvers that even the United States has.

The New Orleans case is a defense against him. The SCO tried to take down the Beast by bringing it to a retired Bionic Soldier, but it failed. Until the end, the SCO asked the Jungwon representative to take control of the crisis.

I'm confident that dealing with the Beast will be a huge market on Earth. Do you see this enormous business opportunity in your eyes? ”

Harry, who was watching Joon-Won's presentation in the back, took his phone out of his arms.

Phone number starting with 81. It was a call from Japan.

He calls Marvin and his vows, sitting next to him, and quietly leaves the venue.

When he finds a quiet place, he presses the green button.

“Harry Raph at Heavens Gate. ”

The hard pronunciation and awkward accent of the English speaker reveal their identity.

“I am Iwaya Takeshi, Japan's Defense Secretary. Can you come to Japan right away to negotiate? Please come with Bionic Soldier to deal with the Beast. ”

Harry looked at the vows. The vow shakes its head with a dagger.

“Heavens Gate is a private company. We cannot dispatch troops without a contract in place. ”

“This is a very urgent situation. ”

"If we start to work without properly defining the terms of the contract and our side suffers damage, Japan's Ministry of Defense could get caught up in international litigation. You still need to sign a contract to prevent that from happening. ”

“It's going to take too long. ”

“Send a private plane and I'll go with the Due Diligence Team to Japan. ”

Harry's call grew longer and the vows spoke to Marvin. It was Korean

“You are an American. But 50 percent of you are Korean. Is that correct?"

Marvin nodded his head when he heard from his mother that 'Korean blood flows in your body' from childhood.

He could not ignore the fact that two people were Korean when he refused other companies' proposals and chose a company that Kim Junwon and Seowon had established together.

“Most Koreans have feelings for Japan. ”

“Are you referring to hostility towards Japan? ”

The vow nods.

“I'll give you your first assignment. Make a deal with Japan's Ministry of Defense without compromising on means and means. Harry and your price have increased 50% over the right price! ”

Marvin was surprised by the order to win the company's first business with no results at an expensive price of 50%.

“Here's a tip. Do not take a step back in the negotiation process. Push it all the way to the end. If you push it hard, they'll eventually bow their heads. ”

The vows disappeared to the venue.

Marvin looks at Harry on the phone, unable to figure out how to solve his challenges.

At the end of the presentation, Seowon and Joon-won went to a scheduled meeting room. The meeting room was packed with people in suits.

“This is Geoffrey Fairmore, representing General Dynamics. ”

“This is Brandon Walkman, Vice President of Lockheed Martin. ”

Seowon said hello to the people Joon-won Kim introduced.

Some of the world's most famous military personnel, station workers, fashion industry, and entertainment agencies were also involved. There were also Korean businessmen. Chairman of a well-known conglomerate, including Kwon Oh Hyun, and chairman of a solid technology small business.

They were all trying to work with Heavens Gate.

Sworn out his tongue. In less than a week, he did not understand how Kim Junwon gathered so many powerful people.

Joon-won Kim whispered to Seowon.

“I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. ”

The vow shakes its head.

“It's a lot easier for me. ”

I didn't want to care about management. Calculating numbers, looking forward and managing the organization were not the right fit. He only intended to focus on what he was good at. Management should be left to trusted professionals like Marvin. However, through regular audits, I was going to take care of the problem with the company thoroughly.

The people who were called by Joon-won Kim could be divided into three categories.

The first were the people involved in the power suit. They were a key player in the company with the skills needed to make and maintain a power suit.

The second was people involved in marketing. American television officials had already expressed tremendous interest in the relay world because it was not enough to reasonably wrap the Heavens Gate.

The third was those related to sponsorship.

Their business was not directly related to the Heavens Gate. However, it was the group that decided that Joon-won Kim's pursuit would be a big business and wanted to cross the bridge somehow. To put it bluntly, they were the ones who developed the most sense of smell of money.

It was clear why Joon-won Kim created this position.

He planned to make his first mission a giant showcase that would bring the name of Heavens Gate to the world.

A power-suit transported from the United States will serve to capture the action of vows in close proximity, not to deal with the Beast. This will be a theater produced by Heavens Gate and screened by vows.

While vows were in the middle of international business, members of the Shadow Warrior, including Harry, Marvin, boarded a plane from the Ministry of Defense Japan.
