Negotiation target changed.

Every time I added a contingency to the contract, the Secretary of Defense had to hang on to the phone instead of three old men and one less old man who looked like shit.

The top officials of the Japanese government demanded a match as soon as they met Harry and Marvin.

“Bring me the representative of Heavens Gate. ”

“We are authorized to negotiate. ”

The middle-aged men come out clumsy. You realize there will be no negotiations unless you bring in a representative from Heavens Gate.

Marvin is embarrassed, but I think Harry is right.

There is one fact about Joon-won Kim that laypeople don't know very well. Joon-won Kim was a better negotiator than anyone Harry Ralph had ever met. No, he was a good negotiator.

Among the contracts directly signed by Joon-won Kim, there are no harmful contracts. I felt like I was looking into the future.

Harry covers his mouth with his hands and whispers to Marvin.

“Make an embarrassing face. Grimace as if you were in trouble. ”

After a short play, Harry called Joon-Won Kim.

After an hour, Joon-won Kim, who was waiting at the hotel, arrived at the negotiating table with dozens of people.

* * *

Namazuo Toshiro, the youngest of the four, opened his mouth.

“Anyone unrelated to the negotiation needs to leave immediately. ”

The suits who came with Joon-won Kim looked at Namazuo Toshiro with a frowning face.

Unlike the thundering subordinates, the people who were brought by Joon-won Kim didn't move like a dog to the will of the owner. And their faces were like, "What the hell are you talking about? 'I felt.

He slaps his desk with his palm and jumps to his feet. But there was no reversal. A calm, thick voice strikes his ear. It was Joon-won Kim.

“The attorney's seat at the negotiating table is the Global Standard. If Japan doesn't follow the standards of the world, we will. ”

Joon-Won Kim's message, which preceded the global standard, was clear. I'll do whatever I want.

When Joon-won Kim got up from his seat, the three old men left. They seemed to have misunderstood for a while and sat Joon-won Kim back down. Negotiations have begun.

Each introduction was made.

Four bureaucrats shaking Japan's hand in the second-largest economy in the world were introduced, and their representatives opened their mouths first.

“Let's cut to the chase, we don't have much time. How much do you want?”

Marvin handed out the computer typed A4 paper to his opponent.

“$150 million per beast. The ownership of Beast's corpse is attributable to the Heavens Gate and includes all costs associated with defeating the Beast, such as the cost of entering a power suit. In addition to that, if you want to purify the Deadzone, an additional $300,000 per 10 meters will be added. Heavens Gate is not responsible for damage to civilians and facilities during Beast removal. ”

It was about the price at which my eyeballs would pop out. It was much more expensive than I put in SCO. The Defense Council asked, forcefully swallowing their groans.

“What do you like about cleaning the Deadzone? ”

“We know that the Beast has appeared three times in the last 20 years in the Deadzone, Osaka. Purification prevents the re-emergence of the Beast. ”

A foreign minister with a serious face asked.

“More than twice as expensive as SCO. Why?”

Harry pointed to a vow.

“It's not out in the press, but we've already done twice what the SCO hasn't done in New York and New Orleans. Our Beast Elimination capability surpasses twice the SCO. Heavens Gate does not seek communist approaches such as equal wages. It's natural for capitalism that a good worker demands a high price. ”

Namazuo Toshiro, commander of the Task Force, was the lowest rank, but with the most power. His blood pressure spilled on a crazy price tag with ridiculous conditions.

I wanted to say get out of here. However, Namazuo Toshiro had to swallow the words in his stomach.

The U.S. SCO was overwhelmed by continuous revelations and attacks, and the Republic of Korea (ROK) officials' cards had already been put in, but were not effective. They were the only ones Japan could turn to.

He took a big breath and tried to calm his mind. But at that moment, my face was tingling.

He ignores the tingling sensation. But over time, I felt hundreds of needles stabbing me in the face.

Somehow, he sighs and raises his head. At that moment, Namazuo Toshiro was able to determine the cause of the pain. It was because of Josenzing who claimed to be a co-representative of Heavens Gate sitting next to Joon-won Kim. Although he calls himself an American citizen, there is no country that uses a three-letter name other than Josenzing.

His outfit or appearance was not so special that I didn't understand why he became a co-representative. The expression and sitting posture were also ordinary. However, Namazuo Toshiro felt suffocated with the pain of stabbing his face every time he looked at him. I looked at the people sitting next to me, but I felt like I was the only one with extreme discomfort here.

Whatever the negotiation, it seemed like staying here would bring him to the emergency room in pain and dyspnea.

He sweeps his face with his palm.

“$100 million…… let's make it neat and tidy. ”

When Namazuo Toshiro opened his mouth, Josenzing, who had kept his silence so far, stepped forward.

“There's an American proverb that says, when you meet a robber, throw your wallet and run. It's the most effective way to escape the cliffs. I can't lose my life trying to protect a few dollars. The problem is that Japan has encountered a robber called the Beast. But no matter how much I look, I can't find where my wallet is. ”

The gentle grammar of the vows completely shut the mouths of the oppressive Japanese officials.

No one opened their mouths. There was silence.

Suddenly, the door opens, and a young man who looks like an assistant jumps in. He whispered something to the ears of the State Department with an urgent face.

His face was as dull as a blank slate.

As soon as I saw the face of the State Department, the vows caught my attention. That the Beast had only been underground, and it had protruded to the ground. First, we had to solve the urgent problem. It's the next cheapskate to emit a similar energy to the ninjas killed in Korea.

He whispered to Joon-won Kim.

“I should probably get going. Please do the rest. ”

Joon-won Kim nodded, wrapping his hands around Seowon's hand.

“You have to be careful. ”

The vow nods, leaving the meeting room without giving the opposing team an explanation.

Joon-won Kim stared at the back of a busy vow with a firm expression and turned his head. The four men across the table are in such a panic that they won't even notice one of them is out.

Kim Jun-won's eyes flourished like a snake who found food.

* * *

“Are you all right? Is that bothering you? ”

My voice sounded like it was ringing in my head.

The vows annoyed the sound of ringing in my head more than the unknown clothing covering the material from head to toe. He replied with a loud voice.

“Your voice is much more annoying. ”

“Heheheh heh. I can't believe my beautiful voice bothers you. That's a welcome thing to do. ”

Seowon wanted to remove the communication equipment attached to his ears. But it was impossible.

Havens Gate's first operation was not enough to simply eliminate the Beast. I had to send the Beast to goal in the most neat and colorful way possible. This is because today's operation is being filmed by dragons who will follow them in power suits.

According to Joon-won Kim's business plan, the footage will be used by experts as a promotional material for Heavens Gate. If we're lucky, it can be broadcast via the station.

Seowon could not imagine what it would be like to defeat the Beast. However, Joon-won Kim had a lot of equipment prepared for this.

From a new helmet that has been remodeled to a full-face helmet of the Shadow Warrior that is much lighter, more durable and does not interfere with movement, to a new tripod that feels attached to the protective suit covering his entire body and hands right now.

It seems like Joon-won Kim has been preparing for this business since he first met himself.

I felt a bit cheated. But the vows laughed. Joon-won Kim spent all his money preparing this because he knew it wasn't for himself.

After wearing a sneaking suit acquired from a ninja, the vow even wore a protective suit to check the movement of the body by stretching. The protective suit, which was made of the first material I heard, was designed to mimic the military uniform that vows are most comfortable with. The researcher in charge of crafting the suit said the protective suit is difficult to resist the Beast's strong blow, but he was assured that his skin would be swept off or the amount of ammunition from the pistol would be perfectly prevented.

The vow nods. A line of defense that did not interfere with the movement was enough.

He wore a sneaking suit and a protective suit with no horses to keep his face from being revealed, not for the purpose of defense.

After completing the inspection, the vows take off their helmets and sit on their chairs, raising their heads.

In the front, there is a long stretch of corridor with rails underneath it. The ceiling was fitted with a dense lamp, and at the end of the passageway was a thick, locked door that reminded me of a spaceship hangar from an '80s SF movie.

The tension before the battle follows, but today was the exception.

It was because of the dragon and Gary who didn't take a moment to breathe what was so exciting. The two friends were trying to relieve the tension in the atmospheric space by blowing fireworks at a joke that wasn't funny.

Someone grabbed the shoulder of vow, gazing at the comedy below the level of the dragon and Gary.

It was John Ackins with a nervous face.

“I promise. I won't get hurt. ”

“A day or two of operation? Why are you so nervous? ”

The vows blew up. However, John's expression did not improve a bit.

At that moment, the vows could see why John was so nervous. John had never seen a vow fight the Beast, but only heard it from his colleagues.

The vows point to the eager dragon's jaw.

“Think about it. in the jungles of Colombia, in Iraq. Unlike when you're on a mission with us, do you know why he's hanging out like that? ”

John shakes his head.

“I know it's going to be okay. I'm not worried about the Beast, either. What worries me... ”

The vow stopped while speaking. John notices what words are missing from his vows.

Oberon's safety.

John nods.

“You're going to be okay. If we rescue him this time, we'll take him with us. ”

I knew no vows about Oberon's survival or how to get him to Iraq. But the vow nodded forcefully.

“Five minutes to launch!!! ”

Suddenly, the sound of staff's shout echoes.

It was because of Joon-Won Kim who came back from the negotiation table. He shows up again with the snarling people.

Joon-won Kim once again asked me, holding the hands of the vows.

“Never get hurt. ”

My vow was to get Neuroses when I told her not to get hurt. However, he smiles and nods.

After Joon-won Kim, Seowon shook hands with John, Gary, Marvin, and Harry. Staffs who have not yet memorized their names nodded their heads at the dragon in the vows and in the power suit.

The vow nods at the new comrades with a confident expression. He pledged to meet the expectations of his new colleagues.

When I thought everyone's greetings were over, my eyes widened.

A beautiful woman who could be seen on television ran to his face just before tears burst out and hugged him.

The vows were rigid. I wanted to get rid of her, but I didn't think I'd fall unless I tried hard, seeing that my arms were full.

I can feel something hanging from my right thigh. It was a little girl who appeared before entering elementary school. The child burst into tears and said.

“Dad!!! ”

I was tired of the white expression on my vows. He tried to say he wasn't his father. But then I heard the operator's voice from the earphones that were digging in my ears.

“I'm an actor. Act like one. ”

The frozen vows wiped the woman's tears in an awkward position and kissed the child on the cheek.

One vow behind Ata's expression approaches the helmet on top of the box and grabs it with both hands.

The vows turned back and slowly mounted the helmet.

Countdown initiated.

10, 9, 8…….

The red light, which looks like a beacon installed by the staff, illuminates. You hear nothing but a countdown.

6, 5, 4…….

The red light goes out, and the orange light comes in.

Three, two, one. NOW!

The green light is on.

The iron door that was firmly closed in the front opened and a white light poured into the room.

The vows slowly walked towards the light.

The back of the vow, which was buried in a swarm of light, grew smaller and smaller, finally becoming invisible.

PD in charge of video production shouted.

“Cut!!! ”

The sound of the PD's shout woke up a static room.

The staff stops moving, and the staff moves swiftly.

Above expectations, Kim Joon-Won, who looked carefully at the music video storyboard, raised his thumb to PD.

John and Gary, who were in charge of operations, mounted headsets.

The two of them gazed at the rigidly installed monitors and sent a radio to vows and dragons.

The people who were gathered behind them watched them work in silence.

Two green dots appeared on the large monitor.
