I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 173

Fairy Eyes (3)

The fact that Head of Department Hong Seok-young rescued the kidnapped children from the Ark’s laboratory was something that could not be hidden.

It was an incident that shook Korea. There was a secret laboratory in the basement of the closed training center, and human experiments were conducted? Of course, it deserves to be featured in the headlines. There was an uproar not only in Korea but all over the world.

Moreover, it was an incident that was already attracting attention. Among the rescued children, there was one who was covered by the media. It is not because my father was careless or because reporters followed me without any sense of ethics. This is because among the children kidnapped from the ark at the time, there were quite a few children of famous people. A lawyer’s child can’t even produce a business card.

The son of a famous hunter and the daughter of a politician. The two spoke openly to the media. To return her child to her parents.

Well, I heard something like that happened. I only found out later when I got older.

It will be about half a year from now that a politician and a hunter appear side by side on the news and talk about their children.

I am not sure if they will kidnap the same child that Ark went to this time. Although they are not the children of such tycoons, there are several children who were kidnapped long ago. The children who dispersed after the lab was closed are trying to figure out Lee Mi-seon’s whereabouts. The director’s notebook, which I found with the help of Kang Tae-woo, was of great help.

… Lee Mi-seon is not tired for no reason. But there is no one like her. There was no particular reason why her father took advantage of Lee Mi-seon.

In any case, the work at the institute was not something that could be hidden even if one tried to hide it. The father, who was upset about his children’s affairs, said he literally overturned everything to find those involved with the support of the entire nation. Until I was a student, people who tried to avoid making radical comments in front of me would say things like that. I had a rough idea of ​​what it would be like.

And in the process, it was revealed that a pharmaceutical company was connected to the Ark.

“… … .”

I looked at the documents Lee Mi-seon had left on the table. portion. convention. Joint development.

I was well aware of what was going on inside the lab, but I didn’t know much about things related to the outside. Even when I was at an orphanage, there was a tendency to hiss that such information would not help the children’s stability. Since being adopted by his father, his father has blocked him from receiving information. Perhaps because one of the victim’s parents was a politician, it did not appear in the media except when it was noisy, and as such, it did not get talked about. I could have searched as much as I wanted, but honestly, I wasn’t even curious at the time because I was too busy adjusting to the rapidly changing environment.

When I think about it now, it seems like my father deliberately distracted me so that I wouldn’t be interested.

Still, after joining the management office, I was curious about past records, so I looked up records about the research institute. Because it was an incident at a time when there was no Ability Management Office, there was not much data. When I vaguely asked my father, he said that at the time, it was under the jurisdiction of the National Police Agency or something else, so there would be data there.

So when I searched through the remaining data on the horsepower watch, I couldn’t find anything other than a short report on the arrest of a related pharmaceutical company official.

okay.

The pharmaceutical company featured in that report had the exact same logo as that.

Dayeon & ATLAS. Co

There’s no way I would know anything about pharmaceutical companies from twenty years ago.

Still, if I had developed a potion with Dayeon, I would have heard of it at least once. There is no way a company of that size would go bankrupt easily.

I tried to recall my memories, but I really don’t remember anything.

… Since he would have been robbed by his father, he might have changed the name of the company or it might have really gone bankrupt.

I took out my phone and searched Atlas Pharmaceuticals.

Perhaps because it was a foreign company, there were almost no pages in Korean. There were no articles on whether the joint development agreement was still an internal secret or not. Is this really a document I can see?

I went to the English homepage and took a quick look.

An insincere company introduction page that seemed to be designed out of politeness and only paid lip service appeared. I didn’t have high expectations anyway, but there really wasn’t any information to be gained. All I found out was that it was an American company.

“Mr. Wu? Is something holding you back?”

As I was silently shuffling through documents, Lee Mi-seon also stopped talking to herself.

“… that is.”

Since this company is suspicious, should I tell them not to do joint development or anything like that? What do you say when you ask why it’s suspicious? Would you believe me if I told you it was just my heart?

… I don’t know how it would work if I told you that I found out while I was on the ark.

But he shook his head. Even I can’t proceed with something I’m not sure about. This is becoming too big for me to handle on my own.

“Can you let me read this document?”

“What were you looking at, ah. That’s it. Anyway, the article comes out next week. “It would be good if our guild could purchase high-performance potions, and from my personal perspective, it would be good if things went well and the stock price rose.”

“Is it a share?”

“I own some shares in my father’s company.”

ah. That way.

I am not interested in inheritance from a conglomerate or anything like that. I lost interest and just looked at the documents. Except for Atlas, there was nothing to attract attention.

I raised my finger and tapped it on the table.

I can’t believe I forgot such an important clue.

But I am not omnipotent. How can I remember everything about a report I only skimmed over once? Moreover, I was busy bringing in Ui-rok at the time, and after that, I was busy with the forum and everything.

Let’s think positively. Aren’t you glad you realized it now?

After thinking for a moment, I suddenly got up. Lee Mi-seon looked up at me in surprise.

“Where are you going?”

“I have something to ask Gamble.”

“Is this a story I should listen to as well?”

“It depends on the content… .”

No. I knew what was going to happen.

I waved my hand at Lee Mi-seon, who was trying to get up.

“Because of students Lee Rok-i and Tae-woo. “I’ll tell you what we talked about later.”

When Woo I-rok and Kang Tae-woo’s names came up, a sad feeling crossed Lee Mi-seon’s face.

Lee Mi-seon nodded with a brave face. As if he was trying to comfort me.

“It’ll be okay.”

“That’s right.”

I responded calmly and left the conference room.

* * *

Gamble still remains at the pension.

There was some debris left that couldn’t be removed, but since it was basically a luxurious building, it had its own charm.

“It’s like an apocalypse movie and it’s cool. “Aren’t you just feeling inspired?”

Aside from the awkward pronunciation, his vocabulary is no different from that of a Korean.

I took a step back, looking at Gamble, who looked somewhat ecstatic. Are all geniuses like that? I have never met a proper human being.

Well, if he was in his right mind, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to help the monster. Even if he is like my younger brother whom I have seen since I was young.

“ah. So what are you curious about?”

“I wasn’t able to ask you in detail last time.”

Gamble quietly waited for me to speak.

“The children. The children we used to study on the Ark.”

“… yes. “Why those kids?”

I’m on guard. I have never twisted Hope like Hong Seok-young. But why is this like this?

I ignored Gamble’s gaze and opened my mouth.

“I thought you said we were protecting two of them.”

“… … .”

Gamble nodded quickly, still with a wary gesture. I was nervous but not surprised.

Hope attacked one, and Semblum tried to kidnap the other. After all the fuss, I think he must have guessed what I was trying to say.

Sure enough, when I paused for a moment, Gamble spoke first.

“I’m curious about what kind of experiments they were subjected to?”

“I was just wondering if it would be okay, exactly.”

I sat in front of Gamble and crossed my arms.

“I’m still not sure about the final purpose of the research. “The kids know that we are making artificial awakeners.”

“uh… .”

“I know roughly what kind of experiment was done. “The first thing we did after bringing him in was to examine him from head to toe, so we found that there was no major problem with his health.”

But I know the results of the experiment. A body sensitive to magic, and the eyesight to see magic with the naked eye. I don’t know yet whether Kang Tae-woo will be able to see magical powers, but Woo I-rok is certain.

“I really need to know why Sem Bloom wanted to take the child. No, she understands why he didn’t want to talk about it. I don’t like it, but for Hope’s sake… is it so. Let’s say so. But I can’t back down either.”

When Hope’s name was mentioned, Gamble’s eyes changed. As was the case last time, the weaknesses are very clear. Does that weakness only apply to one’s own family?

The reason Noah Michel stole the children he tried to kill was probably to ask for Hong Seok-young’s cooperation. That guy won’t join hands with the guys who killed his child, no matter how much it helps him.

“Because it includes my younger brother.”

Gamble’s eyes grew so big they couldn’t get any bigger.

“Do, do, younger brother?”

“yes.”

“Brother?”

“yes.”

“… “You decided to make him your younger brother?”

“no. “My younger brother.”

I wedged myself in.

“It’s not okay for Noah Michel to sit idle for a moment just to keep an eye on Hope. “I cannot allow the possibility of her targeting my brother.”

“Uh, um… . Yes.”

“So I need to know why Semblum tried to take my brother away.”

“… “He’s Hunter’s younger brother?”

“Call me teacher. Teacher Wu. “Even though I’m a hunter, I don’t conquer dungeons.”

Gamble moved his hands busily, as if he couldn’t hear me. Gamble, who had been gaping at her, asked me as if squeezing.

“Well, if it’s your younger brother, Hong Seok-young also knows… Is?”

“You should know. “He was the one who helped me when I left the Ark.”

“Uh, uh… .”

“You know what a janitor is, right?”

Gamble didn’t accept my words right away. But slowly, astonishment spreads across his face.

“All of you! “I heard you’re Hong Seok-young’s disciple!!”

“yes.”

“But the ark? A cleaner?! “How did you become a disciple?”

“It was surprising.”

“Shanshan didn’t say that!”

“I didn’t even tell him.”

“Oh, wait. Wait. So, uh, so? No, but if you are a janitor… .”

Gamble narrowed his eyes and looked at me suspiciously.

“… “Did you undergo an experiment?”

ah. Are you going straight there?

I shrugged my shoulders.

“yes.”

“… “Wouldn’t it be better to be a cleaner?”

“An ordinary janitor would do that.”

Gamble knows the ark and the inside of the research center well, as he knows exactly the limitations of the cleaner. Hope didn’t seem to be sensitive enough to teach him such things one by one, so maybe he figured it out on his own?

I said, feeling a strange pleasure in this strange situation where I was telling lies even though I was only telling the truth.

“My parents were researchers on the Ark.”

Shake!

Gamble fell off his chair. I held back from laughing at the stronger reaction than I expected.

hmm. You shouldn’t have fun here.
