314. Dad and Brother
Yoo Yeon-ho took a step forward at the minister’s call.
It was obvious why he had called.
It must be my son’s business.
The government completely gutted the research institute that it had been watching closely.
I’ll do it in moderation.
What do you want me to do if you take everything I have?
My son was really great.
A while ago, the Immortal Special Forces stole the entire research lab server and ran away.
The group of researchers who had been hit once were racking their brains.
‘You idiots.’
When I’m researching, my mind works so well, but why does it only work this way in this area?
They took extra care to physically secure the servers by anchoring them to the ground.
And the son cut it all off.
“Pfft.”
The thought made me laugh without realizing it.
An employee walking across the hallway glanced at him.
He had been traveling a lot for business lately, so he looked quite tired.
His face looks pale, as if he stayed up all night the day before yesterday.
“The joke the manager made yesterday is really funny now.”
“Oh, yes. I’m finishing my report and leaving work.”
I said something awkwardly and passed by.
In front of the office, the secretary recognized Yoo Yeon-ho and opened the door.
As I entered, I saw the office monitor screen flashing and showing the Minister’s face.
The minister looked at the screen for a while and then raised his head.
“Are you here?”
“Because you called.”
“Sit down. Tea?”
“Please give me coffee.”
The minister’s love of coffee beans is famous. Even though he is not immortal, the coffee he drinks suits his taste perfectly.
Soon, two cups of coffee, hand-dripped by the immortal secretary, were placed on the reception table.
Sitting facing each other.
What is this soft atmosphere?
I thought he would ask about my son’s work, but the atmosphere was different at all.
I think we’ll just have a cup of coffee and greet each other and ask how we’re doing.
“The weather is really nice these days.”
The weather is nice. It is the season when cherry blossom petals are in full bloom and fluttering in the spring breeze.
“Have you seen the cherry blossoms?”
“Because my wife likes forsythia better.”
“Your taste is clear.”
“So why did you call me?”
“Team Leader Yoo, is there a reason you called us?”
That can’t be happening.
Yoo Yeon-ho crossed his arms in front of a steaming cup of coffee.
“No, I just suddenly wanted to see you.”
“Me? Or my son?”
His eloquence was like an arrow that hit the mark.
“Hey, you’re being so strict.”
Yoo Yeon-ho uncrossed his arms. The atmosphere had become strange, but it wasn’t a bad thing.
You sold your information? You can hide it if you want, but what good will come from it?
Yoo Yeon-ho killed two birds with one stone.
And I get money from my son.
I didn’t do anything that pricked my conscience.
We reported it appropriately and handled it ourselves.
“I only passed on the information I reported. The rest.”
“know.”
The minister cut him off. He picked up the coffee cup and savored the aroma. His nose was twitching and the corners of his mouth were gently curled. He seemed to like the aroma of the coffee.
Of course, it’s not just the smell of coffee that you like.
‘I’m satisfied with this situation.’
Yoo Yeon-ho understood the context of the situation just by looking at the minister’s attitude.
I didn’t dig too deep on purpose because my son was involved.
“Are you trying to trick me? Are you trying to use NS?”
“It’s a trick. It’s sad to hear you say that. And it’s sad to hear you say it’s a use. Even if you tried to stop him, your son would have pushed ahead with it. Right?”
That’s right. It’s not wrong. He’s not the kind of son who would listen to you.
“I just made the best decision I could under the circumstances.”
“It’s like the tail of a sinister fox.”
“I’m neither immortal nor a shape-shifter. And Team Leader Yoo, you shouldn’t say anything rude to your superiors, right?”
“When do you ever ask someone to call you ‘hyung’ in private?”

“I am the type of person who mixes public and private affairs as I see fit.”
“Should I close it?”
“Hey, little brother. Don’t do that. Why are people so extreme?”
“It’s sinister.”
“This is what happens when you roll around in politics. And it’s a win-win.”
Yoo Yeon-ho was excited and snorted.
Actually, there won’t be any particular harm to the son.
I guess they expected some degree of aftershock from the beginning.
In fact, the current situation is better.
At least Old Force won’t have anything to do with this.
The situation was simple.
Although the government neglects private research institutes, it does not directly raise them like flounder in a fish farm.
So where does the capital for large-scale private research institutes come from?
There are instances where they are operated as the personal assets of the owner, but most of them are shady groups that secretly support terrorist organizations or illegal research labs.
So, at the same time as the Korean government handed over the research institute information that would be leaked anyway.
I caught and destroyed the smelly guys who came in to support the private research institute.
This is why the special forces of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, excluding the Phoenix team, have been busy recently.
The report from the employee who passed by here was probably related to this.
This is probably the reason why I’ve been on good terms with Hwarim recently.
Therefore, the group that had the research center I planted raided will be upset.
We’re going to find out who did this, and we can’t talk about it without mentioning the two letters NS.
“You did it without leaving me out?”
When Yoo Yeon-ho speaks, he is hurt.
“The Phoenix team is on vacation.”
The minister answered, his lips sticking out.
It’s still not wrong.
NS, Se-Choi-Teuk, and his son are already on the same side as the terrorist group.
We were already in a bad relationship, which was going to happen anyway.
Even if that’s not the case.
‘I hate those kids too.’
There is no reason to fraternize with terrorist groups.
So there was no problem.
“Ah, Team Leader Yoo, the President said he wanted to announce this to the public. He seemed pleased that he had one more award to give out.”
“What kind of awards do you give out on a monthly basis?”
“If I can give, I will give it on a weekly basis.”
At the minister’s words, Yoo Yeon-ho shook his head as if he had no choice.
“If I tell you not to, you won’t give it to me?”
“no.”
The minister chuckled.
That damn commendation.

“NS came out and wiped out about ten private research institutes in the Seoul area. They were all conducting illegal research, and the police announced that they already knew about it and shared information and worked together with NS on the operation. Another special case outside the standards was committed.”
The reporter reporting the news was excited. His tone was conveyed clearly.
Kim Jeong-ah, who was listening, thought.
‘Didn’t you say you were going to hide it?’
If you keep talking like that, there will be secret rumors that it is the government and group’s farm.
Why would you do something like that, even if you have to risk it?
“The country is going crazy.”
Double-bong crossed his arms and clicked his tongue.
“why?”
“They’re openly saying that they’ll support whatever Yoo Gwang-ik does. They’ll support him no matter what happens.”
NS and Yoo Kwang-ik don’t need support. Kim Jeong-ah often thinks like that.
In the first place, Gwangik is not the type of person who calculates and acts like that.
‘The third time.’
Actually, that nickname would suit you better than the nickname Se-Choi-Teuk.
The place where Kim Jeong-ah is is the personal break room prepared by Gwang-ik.
They say it’s a break room, but it’s closer to a sickroom.
In order for Dr. Park Byung-jun’s leap forward research to be successful, he had measuring devices dangling from his body.
My body was at its limit.
He already knew it.
It is a truth that cannot be changed by enduring pain alone.
Even when I do nothing, my hands feel weak and my thighs tremble. There was even an incident where I dropped the pot while trying to get water to boil some ramen.
There were times when my legs gave out so much that I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom.
It was only a few minutes, but it was a time when a feeling of helplessness washed over me.
Kim Jung-ah’s body was in worse condition than it looked.
If I were my original self, it would be my job.
But he had to step forward.
After Yoo Gwang-ik flatly rejected it, he disposed of it.
In an instant, everything was over and he was exiled to a private room called the rest room.
Lee Jung-bong came to visit the man in exile and while he was there, he saw the news reporting on what had just happened.
“How was it?”
Kim Jeong-ah asked right away, but Lee Jung-bong knew what the question meant.
How could you not know?
Both of them were determined to live for revenge.
“It was exhilarating at first. But then it became difficult.”
“why?”
“It’s good that I achieved my goal. But I’m the one who should have died, so I ended up living.”
As he spoke, Yi Jung-bong licked his ear. He blew air over the little boy Hoo-bin.
It was something I did when I was embarrassed.
It wasn’t just a day or two since they met. Kim Jeong-ah knew a few of Lee Jung-bong’s habits.
Kim Jeong-ah could understand what Lee Jung-bong said.
I lived to kill the Blue Knight, but I killed the Blue Knight.
That’s it. But I survived.
I had decided the end of my life, but it continued.
Life after the epilogue remains.
Curiosity lies beyond understanding.
Therefore, what was important was now.
“So?”
How about now?
Kim Jung-ah is curious about that. Her revenge is in progress. She has no intention of stopping even if her body is ruined.
That’s for sure.
However, there are moments when I think about a life other than revenge.
These are things we couldn’t even dream of in the past.
No one told me to do that. No one told me to start a new life. There was no persuasion.
But no one, including Yoo Kwang-ik, said anything like that.
It just blended in naturally.
I was worried that this foolishness might be making me weak.
“I’m not confident right now.”
“……yes?”
What confidence?
“I think I’d lose if I fought Yoo Kwang-ik. If we really fought, I think I’d get hit. That would be ugly, right?”
The expression on Lee Jung-bong’s face was extremely serious.
“Pfft.”
Kim Jung-ah laughed. This was really unbearable.
I couldn’t laugh out loud because of the awkwardness, but I let out a loud laugh.
“Is this funny? I’m serious.”
If Gwangik found out about this, I think he would rush in right away.
“No. Yes, I understand.”
“That’s why I’m secretly avoiding it. This is the biggest topic of my life these days.”
The expression on Lee Jung-bong’s face as he said those words looked very relieved.
“Jeong-ah.”
Jungbong said, crossing his legs and resting his chin on his hand.
“yes.”
This person was like an adoptive father to me.
He was also the one who opened the way to revenge.
“Live. As you live, all sorts of things happen.”
I met Jungbong’s eyes. There was a worry in his eyes that I had never seen before.
There was a warmth that I had never seen during my company life.
It really doesn’t match, I thought.
“Goes.”
Jungbong got up. Kim Jeong-ah said a word to him as he turned around.
“Yes, Dad.”
Squeak.
Jungbong almost misstepped.
“you.”
With those words, Jungbong left, laughing in vain.
Jungbong, who went outside, thought that the ice-block-like guy had been telling a lot of jokes.
Dad!
I wasn’t the type of person to say something like that.
it was good.
Because I really thought she was half a daughter.
As he walked, Jungbong chewed on the thought in his mind.
‘If you do this, you’ll save him, right? Are you crazy, CEO?’
On the way out, Dong-Hoon caught Jung-Bong’s eye.
It was in front of the hospital room.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m not sure whether I should go in or not.”
“Go in.”
“I don’t really have anything to say.”
“Just stay by my side.”
“Yeah, whatever.”
Donghoon went inside, scratching the back of his head.
He’s a real teddy bear.
A stupid bear who can’t even control his own mind.
Dong-Hoon opens the hospital room door and enters.
“brother.”
Inside, Dong-hoon’s back was seen frozen in place by Kim Jung-ah’s second joke.
When Lee Jung-bong saw that, he burst out laughing.
Haven’t there been a lot of jokes?
It’s all because of that bastard Yoo Gwang-ik.
The heron turned black as he played with that kid.

“You know, research isn’t something that’s 100% successful, right? It’s all about trying.”
Dr. Park Byung-Jun says.
I thought as I heard those words.
Sometimes people whose weaknesses are clearly visible are easier to deal with.
It’s a failure.
That means there is something wrong with Sister Jeong-ah’s body.
That’s unacceptable.
“Maria.”
“Yes, brother.”
So I called out Dr. Park Byung-Jun’s weakness.
“Oh, mom.”
The doctor was embarrassed when he saw Marie. He was speechless and just blinked his eyes.
Marie spoke to the doctor.
“If you succeed, you will be my father-in-law.”
“……what?”
“If you fail, you don’t know.”
You probably know what this means.
What does Park Mari mean to Dr. Park Byung-Jun?
I could tell right away.
“Representative, it’s a success. There’s no such thing as a failure. Customizing leap, I’ll stake my life on it to make it a success.”
The strong will stood out.
“How long?”
I asked.
“Just give me a month, three months.”
“Okay. I like it.”
That’s it. I brought Marie out.
Until then, no visits to Marie are allowed.
“Maria.”
“yes.”
The doctor calls Marie as she leaves.
Marie turned around.
“That’s Dad.”
“I heard it. I don’t remember everything though.”
That’s the end of our short conversation.
Marie turned around.
I looked at Marie on my way out. I wondered if I had asked her to do something too unreasonable.
“I remembered everything. I escaped with Marie. Why do you think that happened?”
“I bet you thought she was your real daughter.”
It was a trivial conversation.
Marie nodded.
I came out of the lab and headed towards Kang Purum.
He told me to take a look around because he just finished customizing one of his weapons.
Thump thump.
It was expected.
Kang Purum saw the adamantium shotgun and said it was a failure, a weapon that even a dog wouldn’t bite.
I’m sorry to my aunt, but this is not right.
So he said that he took it upon himself to create something new.
It took a tremendous amount of time and money for that.
Now it was time to see the results of the money and time invested.
