Su Science (2)

Naturally, the acceptance of the resignations caused a huge stir.

I approved the resignations of as many as 200 employees and turned away without any regrets after declaring it.

What would have happened if I didn’t have the weapon called Undead?

Without them, I would never have been able to push forward with such an unreasonable task. But there was an alternative, and I accepted all the resignations.

I finished signing them as soon as I came up.

“That was quick.”

Lee Seul-gi clicked her tongue at my decision.

“Because there are androids.”

“President, but the level of those androids…”

“It’s a bit lower than the android you use.”

“All 200 of them?”

“Of course, some of them are at the level of Cecile that you use.”

“Wow, this was all planned?”

“Things just worked out well. I was thinking it would be a bit much to just do a restructuring. But Director Oh provided the excuse himself. I was thinking about how to reduce the number of high-salary earners, and he spoon-fed me. So what else could I do? I had to swallow it without chewing.”

“President, you’re a bit wicked, aren’t you?”

“Am I?”

“To handle things like this…”

“What can I do? If we leave it as it is, a shift to deficit is certain.”

“That’s true.”

I decided to forget about this matter.

Most people will be able to find new jobs.

Even executives who were receiving high salaries can find good jobs if they lower their sights a little.

“Now, let’s get to work.”

“Yes!”

It’s around 5 PM.

The lunch I had eaten was digested, and I was starting to feel a little hungry.

I was counting down the time to leave work when someone came to visit.

An old man with blue eyes.

It was Kalburn, the former leader of Dark Moon.

“Oh? What brings you here?”

“I greet the great Lord of Darkness.”

“Have a seat.”

Kalburn, who should be in France, came to visit.

In terms of company matters, Kalburn would be busier than me. He was directing the famous luxury brand M from behind the scenes.

In addition, Dark Moon was involved in various underground industries, separate from M.

There must be a reason for someone who should be busy to come all the way here.

“A Legend-grade magic stone has been newly discovered in the catacombs. So, I brought it.”

“…!”

I jumped up from my seat.

Of course, mass production of Dummies was still possible now. It was possible because I had reached the 6th Circle [a high level of magical proficiency]. But if there was a Legend-grade magic stone, even more Dummies could be produced.

If many Dummies are produced, the android business will get wings. Also, a significant number of Su Group’s employees can be replaced with Dummies.

“That’s great!”

“It’s all thanks to the Lord’s fortune.”

“Why does your face look so grim on such a happy day?”

“Lord, enemy forces have moved.”

“Enemy forces?”

“Yes. ‘Curse’ has moved.”

“Curse. Judging by the name, it sounds like a group of black magicians specializing in curses?”

“That’s right. They are based in the United States, so there wasn’t much friction. They are the ones who fled to the New World to escape Catholic persecution a long time ago. Now they have created K Corporation.”

“The luxury brand K Corporation?”

“Yes.”

“And?”

“The cause of the incident was plagiarism accusations. They have raised a design dispute over a bag newly released by M Corporation this time.”

“Huh. Doesn’t the design become not yours even if it changes a little? I heard that such cases are common in the industry?”

“The Lord is right.”

I still don’t know much about fashion.

Even if time passes, I don’t think I’ll ever get involved in fashion. Of course, as I became the mastermind behind M Corporation, I would know to some extent, but there were experts stationed there. It was better to do what I could do than to jump into a business I didn’t know well.

Of course, even if I didn’t know fashion, I knew that plagiarism accusations were constantly happening in this industry.

Usually, luxury companies were in a relationship of blaming each other and filing lawsuits. There were dozens of lawsuits pending, and M Corporation was also filing dozens of lawsuits. There were that many lawsuits related to design.

Kalburn sighed and continued.

“Plagiarism accusations happen every day, but this time Curse has decided to move. They found out that the leader of our Dark Moon has changed this time, and they seemed to think we were easy, so they are even willing to engage in armed conflict.”

“Hmm. Are we being pushed back?”

“Their numbers exceed 50, and we were originally at a disadvantage.”

“Look at these guys?”

“I heard that their leader recently reached the realm of the 6th Circle.”

“The 6th Circle?”

This changes the story a bit.

If we are at the same 6th Circle, I, who am lacking in experience, could be at a disadvantage.

“If we are at the same level, will we lose?”

“They specialize in poison and curses. We specialize in attacks using the Undead. If we push with numbers, we might have a chance of winning, but poison and curses cause widespread damage to allies, so we’ll have to see. Above all, we are at a disadvantage in one-on-one battles. Of course, there hasn’t been much fighting in the past few decades, so there is no data.”

“Before that?”

“It was a back-and-forth battle.”

Indeed, there was a reason why Kalburn came to visit.

Soon, an armed conflict may occur. If that happens, the situation will inevitably flow somewhat seriously.

“Now that we can select vampire nobles, if we mobilize them all…”

“If hundreds of vampires gather, we might be able to win. Above all, the Lord is a one-man army.”

Even if their attacks are widespread, there will be no choice if a group of 10,000 surrounds them. Unconditionally push with numbers and induce a war of attrition.

Continuously send Undead to gnaw at their minds and end it at the last moment.

A plan was established in my head.

“There’s no match for numbers. Besides, they are only 50 people?”

“That’s true.”

“Of course, they also specialize in poison and curses, but they can use Undead, right?”

“Necromancy is something that any black magician learns, so they can use it. But it will be at a crude level.”

“Good. They don’t know that I’ve reached the 6th Circle, do they?”

“If they knew, they wouldn’t have picked a fight.”

“Then it might be an opportunity.”

“Yes?”

“An opportunity to swallow Curse or whatever and put K Corporation under my command.”

“Then perhaps…”

“Make the fight bigger. Until just before a bloody incident occurs. And I will intervene directly.”

“I will obey!”

“Come on, since you’re here today, let’s go to Su Science together. Let’s produce Dummies there.”

“Yes!”

The direction was decided to fight and swallow them.

Kalburn’s mind seemed to be quite relieved as I decided that way.

Su Science Factory.

Su Science was buying land in Yeongjong Island, Incheon, and building it.

It was built on a site of 10,000 pyeong [approximately 8.26 acres], and the finishing touches were being made.

As the vehicle arrived, a security guard ran up and greeted us.

“Welcome, Chairman!”

“No problems?”

“Recently, reporters have been camped out. There are rumors that android production is imminent.”

The security guard in his mid-50s swept back his hair and said awkwardly.

The security guards were controlling the reporters. If a reporter infiltrated and information was leaked, all the security guards would be replaced.

It would not be easy for the security guards to repel the reporters who stuck to them even after being chased away. Anyway, he was expressing his apologies for not being able to easily repel the reporters.

I shook my head lightly.

“It’s okay. As long as they don’t set foot in the factory.”

“Don’t worry about that! We are thoroughly guarding to prevent anyone from entering!”

“I trust you.”

“Yes!”

I patted the security guard on the shoulder once and headed to the factory with Kalburn.

Kalburn smiled slyly.

“You handle people well.”

“I don’t think I have any particular talent.”

“What are you talking about? If you manage like this, you will be very successful.”

Kugugugu!

Bleep! Bleep!

The factory door opened with a loud alarm.

[Restricted area. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only.]

The mechanical sound also rang out.

The factory was surrounded by triple security facilities. First, when the common door opens, you must now authenticate.

The first stage is ID card, password, and fingerprint recognition. The second stage was iris recognition, but in fact, this level of technology alone was not perfect.

Fingerprint recognition, cards, and iris recognition were now too common technologies.

However, there was no technology to infuse magic power to recognize it. I am considering whether there are other methods.

“The security is well done.”

“I still think it’s not enough.”

“Hahaha! This is great. Even if someone comes in here, they won’t be able to figure out the algorithm.”

“Unless they are black magicians?”

“Um. Black magicians are a problem, but there are not many black magicians in the world.”

Kugugugung!

A huge, thick iron door opens.

The door here resembles a bank vault.

In addition, the entire factory was blocked with thick titanium, making it strong enough to withstand a bomb.

This was a measure taken in case of future security problems.

Most importantly, it is the magic stone. Although the possibility was small, losing the magic stone would inevitably be a significant blow.

The place where we opened the security facilities and entered was a huge hall.

It was only divided into several areas.

The main hall is the production facility.

A huge magic circle was drawn on the floor.

“We will be able to produce more than 1,000 Dummies a day.”

“Oh, it is possible because the Lord has become the 6th Circle.”

It is a super-sized magic circle.

Kalburn was seeing a magic circle of this size for the first time.

In the first place, a 6th Circle black magician was needed to activate a magic circle of this size.

“Where is the Legend-grade magic stone?”

“Here it is.”

Kalburn politely handed over the magic stone.

It is an object that emits tremendous magic power. If an ordinary person stood near it, they would go crazy from the negative energy.

But it only felt like good energy to me.

“It looks like it has better performance than the last one?”

“Perhaps it is.”

“Then shall we test it once? We need to know how many Dummies we can create in a day.”
