They were everywhere I could see them.

Black Lotus.

When I opened the portal site, I advertised a huge prize-winning homepage advertisement, a movie trailer reminiscent advertisement on television, and a newspaper as a religious organization that would save people who were desperate.

The golden and black lotus flowers were everywhere I could see them.

All of these advertisements were unilaterally felt to him as a rural propaganda that unilaterally forced his ideas. However, this method of propaganda clearly appeared as a new village movement that had been invalidated in the 70s. I even visited their homepage.

Enter the address and the screen on the black desktop will appear.

Homepages made from Flash finished loading faster than expected. I thought I had servers in Korea.

A golden lotus blossomed in the middle of the black background.

The word ‘Black Lotus’ appeared in the middle of the lotus.

It was very cool to see vows familiar with the design of the 2010 era.

It was a homepage that cost a lot of money.

The video playback window using the QuickTime Player appears as you scroll down the mouse.

It was a crude look that did not match the homepage. I received a message asking me to install the QuickTime Player and asked if I would like to install it separately so I can see the video.

A pledge to know the Chinese corporation's incomprehensible behavior was unhesitant by clicking 'No’. I thought installing things as I was told would be the same as handing over the information on the hard disk to the Chinese government.

His confidence in Chinese companies and Chinese governments relating to privacy has plummeted past zero, reaching the lower layer of perception, the mantle. It was because of Lenover, who installed and sold malicious software on his computer, as well as the behaviour of Huawei, the smartphone that would be selling the most in the middle of 2010.

Seowon turned off the home page window requiring program installation and found YouTube.

The most visited menus were full of Beast-related videos. Of course, they also included footage from the Black Lotus.

Dozens of people moved and the Beast was played.

As the bullet hits the Beast, weapons like shields, swords and sickles emerge, and the Bionic Soldiers fight the Beast with stealthy moves. It was a movement they argued was "true law."

Watching him in a fancy suit and carrying out his machine-defined movements made me confused whether he was fighting the Beast or on the stage.

After watching all the 10-minute videos, the vows closed Explorer.

“The truth... ”

A vow that reminded me of the truth shook my head.

* * *

The release of the Black Lotus footage has also disrupted the schedule of the Heavens Gate.

My inquiry about purchasing crazy videos was cut short.

Buyers, who were likely to buy footage of Havens Gate by selling all their assets, boarded a plane to Beijing. The appearance of dozens of Bionic Soldiers was just that glamorous.

Given that there was no dialogue from the people in the video at all, and that only Eggis was collected through editing, a large group of people overwhelmed the viewer. It was a spectacle of areas where images created with computer graphics could never reach.

A voice of concern is heard from inside Heavens Gate. He said, "Shouldn't we be preparing for something?" It was a voice to reinforce the footage and slow down the sales.

Anxiety and doubt are natural emotions. The vow thought that the important thing was not to cut off the anxiety that the members felt, but to embrace it as it is.

Special forces learn to deal with feelings of anxiety, doubt, and fear. I had to think it was serious enough for my friends to react like this.

Negative emotions become heavier if you leave them alone. Seowon called an emergency meeting.

* * *

People start to appear on the screen with the compartments split.

Both Iraqi members and colleagues in Seoul, Gary from Washington, appeared on the screen. After a long time, the colleagues greeted each other and greeted each other with a greeting.

Kim Jun-won and Harry appeared on the last two screens filled with black and white noise. The first Iraqi members to see Joon-won when they met each other trembled.

The webcams' images were cut off, but their voices were conveyed as if they were making a phone call.

A vow of satisfaction nodded when Gary and Loverboy confirmed that the video conference system was working properly.

The beginning of the Video Conference linking LA-Washington-Seong-Baghdad was a high-definition video playback of the Black Lotus.

As soon as the video started, the atmosphere that was active until just before fell suddenly.

“I... I don't... think I'll be okay? ”

“I think it's best to have a lot of pagers at this point. ”

“They must have eaten and practiced that. How can he move like that in front of the Beast? ”

Joon-won Kim and Harry did not have any reaction. Marvin opens his mouth in Baghdad.

“Wouldn't we need reinforcement measures? ”

He didn't answer right away. Instead, he stared at the dragon staring at his laptop webcam from the side. The vows put their hands on the dragon's shoulders and asked.

“What do you think? ”

The dragon tilts its head and ponders something, then opens its mouth slowly.

“I didn't know it when I first saw it...... But now I feel something strange. ”

“Like what?"

“It's weird that my hands and feet fit so well. You know I've dealt with the Beast. I can't keep up with the moves like that. The Beast is not a man. I can't fathom where an attack is coming from, but I don't think it's possible to keep up with dozens of people at once, like formal training. ”

The dragon's words ignite a strand of doubt in people's hearts.

“Think about it. You can't make a move like that when you're engaged to someone. Because it's inefficient. Why are you moving like that? You act like you're hand-to-foot in advance? Is that even possible? The Beast is the opponent. I don't know how or where the attack is coming from. ”

As the dragon opened its gates, opinions started pouring in.

The leader of the vows is the one who leads. The first person to run towards the target point is the cannonball in a rainy situation.

When a problem arises, it is not for the leader to answer each question. It is the act of taking away opportunities for members to grow. Organizations that lose the ability to think for themselves cannot progress.

The vows relaxed on the backside of the chair.

He shuts up until the end of the meeting. To give myself a chance to find the answers to questions in my head.

When all of their doubts were cleared, he was determined to be the first to run towards his goal.

* * *

In the wake of many doubts and concerns, Black Lotus' announced live broadcast date is imminent.

Seowon summoned everyone related to Heavens Gate.

Dragon, Oberon, and Kwon Oh Hyun and his Sioux Chief Secretary. I even brought Hyeong-gyu Kim, who is wrapping her head around the problem handling inside the National Guard. Companies interested in the research, maintenance personnel, and the Heavens Gate Project Consortium were also called in by the remaining South Korean Heavens Gate personnel for the development of power suits.

Approximately 50 people gathered at Kwon Oh Hyun's guesthouse.

A large screen was installed in the first-floor space used as a gym. Chairs and simple refreshments are ready.

People whispered in small voices about Heavens Gate and the Black Lotus.

Today's invitees were vows, but Kwon Oh Hyun was in charge of the actual hosts. Skilled in this position, he listened to opinions, going back and forth among people.

“China has 1.7 billion people. It's over two billion people who are not on the list. How great would that be, having been chosen out of all of them? ”

“It's hard to confirm that we haven't seen the footage from Havens Gate yet. I can't make any decisions right now. But even if it's Kim Joon-won, isn't it too much against China? ”

“A few days ago, I saw this announcement that all bionic solvers in the United States add up to less than 20 percent of China. I'm afraid of what China might do. ”

The opinions of entrepreneurs were consistent.

They feared a great land and the power of China with a large population. Entrepreneurs who are investing enormous amounts of money in China have kept their word in private places to not provoke the Chinese.

Kwon Oh Hyun thought that their reactions might not be that different from the general feelings South Koreans feel about China.

Hyeong-gyu Kim of the National Guard gave no comment.

Immersed in the depths, he gave an unfamiliar comment to Kwon Oh Hyun's question.

“A lot of numbers are definitely advantageous. But in that world, 1 + 1 cannot necessarily be 2. It could be negative, it could be more than 100. ”

After everyone saw the video, they felt that it was not too late to judge. However, Kwon Oh Hyun did not like that neutral posture.

‘If you want to invest, you have to go in as soon as possible. That way you get more than everyone else.' The words were always spoken by his deceased father.

Kwon Oh Hyun was burned.

No one inside the company supported investments in Heavens Gate. Even the chief secretary who knew him best opposed him. Currently, the risk is too high, he said, even after balancing with China, it is not too late. But when you measure everything, you're just like everyone else. To reduce his investment to reduce risk, it was better to withdraw his feet.

To eat big, you have to think big and move fast.

Kwon Oh Hyun went out to cool off his complicated head. Just a few steps away, I saw vows speaking to someone.

“How did you attract an investor if you didn't even release the video? ”

I heard the excitement of the vows.

“JP Morgan and Marilyn have decided to invest financially in the Black Lotus? Dammit! That's bibo to us. ”

As soon as he heard the name of the World Investment Bank, Kwon Oh Hyun heard his heart thump.

Kwon Oh Hyun hurriedly walked back to the back of the building.

He took out his cell phone to instruct his secretarial staff to confirm that what he had just heard was true. However, the moment I tried to press the shortcut on the phone, a strange thought hit his head.

It's because I've seen Seowon on the phone several times, but I've never heard the call like now. Of course, people get louder when they're excited. However, I felt that people who had the Beast in front of them but never got excited could not get excited about the news of their investment decisions.

‘Test……? ’

I felt that the vows were testing me. If his excited voice was for testing, he felt he had a card that surpassed JP Morgan and Marylinch.

‘What is it...? ’

He ponders. But he has no idea what his vows are.

My head gets more complicated and my insides are boiling.

Intuition called for all the resources to be gathered and invested. Opportunities have prompted us to target the top 10 global companies. But reason suppressed intuition. You've done well enough so far. Oh Hyun Group became the top 10 global. I asked him how he would take responsibility if he invested for it and failed.

Even if Sun-kyun is a family company, Oh Hyun Group is a stock company. All employees must be held accountable for enforcing investments while opposed. The act of taking responsibility in a publicly traded company is leaving the company in a great deal of condemnation.

Without making a decision, Kwon Oh Hyun went into the guesthouse.

As the live broadcast approached us, the people who expected it were making the faces mentioned above. But not everyone did. A group of people sitting in the corner looked cool, unlike the indoor atmosphere.

Kwon Oh Hyun approached them and asked.

“Will China do well? ”

Staying here with Seowon, a dragon familiar with Kwon Oh Hyun disagreed with the entrepreneurs.

“Analysis complete. Don't worry."

The dragon said confidently.

“What do you mean, the analysis is over? ”

“I can't tell you the details because they're confidential. But we are confident. ”

Kwon Oh Hyun smiled dazed. Oberon approached and whispered in Kwon Oh's ear.

“Let me tell you a secret, boss. I've been dealing with the Beast for over a decade. There's no one on Earth more powerful than that chubby guy. He's your friend? The boss is a real piece of work. ”

When I heard the two of them talk, my mind became more confused.

What the hell did they finish analyzing? What do they know that doesn't worry them a bit?

Kwon Oh Hyun returned to his seat and looked at the vows sitting next to him. He was touching his phone, his face immersed in water.

Streaming broadcast started

The image quality was poor when I enlarged the small screen. But no one complained and focused on the screen.

Advertisements came out, advertisements from large corporations that everyone knew about. Kwon Oh Hyun was stunned when he saw an advertisement by global companies aiming to go to China.

The Black Lotus must have been preparing for this day long ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't have welcomed this many companies as sponsors.

‘How confident were you...? ’

The ad was constantly showing. The advertisement also included domestic companies. The secretary, who watched the advertisement with a surprised face, hurriedly ran out with his phone in his ear.

They will instruct us to figure out how we don't know when things have gone so far and how far China has gone.

Unlike the secretary, the boiling of Kwon Oh Hyun facing reality calmed down.

It means that Oh Hyun Group has been completely excluded from China's sight until this happens. He probably excluded the biggest sales company in Korea because he knew about his relationship with vows.

‘They would have known the existence of Jung Jungwon long ago. It is a great likelihood that Jung Seong-won will be a rival from the beginning. ’

If you pack up your money and go to them now, all you'll get is a splinter that spills like a box. Then there was no need to hesitate.

The advertisement is finished

A golden lotus rose on the black background.

Someone vomited elasticity.

Bionic Soldiers in gorgeous suits with thumping music appeared on the screen.

Kwon Oh Hyun spoke to the vows.

“I've decided to invest. ”

The surprised eyes of the vow turned to him.

“You want to invest at this point? ”

“Yes.”

“How much do you think? ”

“Two trillion won in cash! Chemistry, Heavy Industries and Construction. ”

Everything was a one-shot battle. Suddenly, I hiccupped myself.

Seowon was smiling. He nods slowly and opens his mouth. It was a small voice, but I could hear it clearly in Kwon Oh Hyun's ears.

“That's a good decision. ”

The thought of going and going like a reed sank for a moment.

Kwon Oh Hyun looked at the vows, covering his mouth with his hands. The hiccups made my heart tremble.

“Once you've made your decision, all you have to do is enjoy yourself. ”

“What do you enjoy……. ”

The vows pointed to the screen with their hands when the hiccups stopped.

“Enjoy their deception. ”

Seowon's hand stroked Kwon Oh Hyun's back once.

Kwon Oh Hyun's hiccups stopped like a lie.
