Showing Power (2)

Wayne’s heart sank.

Something caught on the radar?

But everything happening now was in preparation for a possible emergency.

If Chairman Lee Yoo-sung really made a move, the United States would have no choice but to declare him an enemy. There was no evidence yet, but evidence could always be manufactured.

The technological prowess of the United States was not so weak.

“Where was it detected?”

“T-That is…”

“Speak.”

“In the air.”

“In the air? Did they send an airborne unit by helicopter?”

“That’s impossible. Helicopters or unauthorized aircraft cannot fly over the White House.”

“Then is it just a bird?”

“It’s a bit too large to be considered that…”

“Is it visible to the naked eye?”

“It was caught and disappeared so quickly that it’s not certain.”

Something feels uneasy.

Something was caught in the air and disappeared?

No human could move that fast. Moreover, it couldn’t be confirmed with the naked eye.

The White House perimeter was already heavily defended.

He held the rank of general and had participated in numerous wars. He was a living witness to the advancement of military technology.

“Increase security and check if the radar is malfunctioning.”

“Yes, sir!”

As the adjutant left, Wayne frowned.

“Is something happening that I don’t know about?”

President John Carter reluctantly entrusted his safety to the military and was finalizing documents.

To overwhelm Russia in the proxy war in Syria, a large number of androids were needed.

There was a slight shortage at the moment.

To do that, he had to acquire the technology…

All of America’s leading scientists had failed to decipher the androids. They said it could never be created with existing technology.

It was even said that supernatural powers were mobilized, but such reports were lightly dismissed. This world was governed by science, not by ridiculous exaggerations.

Ancient texts contained absurd stories of witches and black magic, but they were not scientifically proven facts.

If so.

What technology was the android based on?

John Carter couldn’t understand the current situation.

“Is it technology from another world? Looking at what Chairman Lee Yoo-sung is doing now…”

He had a burning desire to make all the technology that Chairman Lee Yoo-sung created American.

With the power of the United States, nothing was impossible.

“Should we kidnap Chairman Lee Yoo-sung?”

The CIA devised a daring operation.

The plan was to kidnap Chairman Lee Yoo-sung’s family and Chairman Lee Yoo-sung himself to extract the technology. They would essentially be hostages.

If the powerful act like gangsters and negotiate with the Korean government, it wasn’t impossible. The US could exert significant pressure.

They planned the kidnapping with the idea of getting it done first and asking for forgiveness later, but as the president of a country, he felt uneasy about what he was doing. The potential diplomatic fallout was immense.

He shook his head.

“No. It’s all for the greater good of the United States.”

He looked around.

Guards and soldiers were heavily guarding the area.

“Huh. Does Chairman Lee Yoo-sung really think he can kidnap me? Director Katherine’s liver has shrunk to the size of a bean [meaning she’s terrified].”

An iconic figure who was the youngest female to hold the rank of general.

From Deputy Director of the CIA to Director after achieving great success.

Perhaps Katherine was trying to enter politics. Someone who had risen to that position with skill alone meant that she was ambitious.

Maybe she was aiming for the presidency in the future.

For such a woman to be intimidated by the threat of a mere company CEO.

“Tsk. Director Katherine is all washed up.”

Smash!

It was then.

Suddenly, someone broke through the window.

The person was wearing a mask, and judging by the slender figure, it seemed to be a woman.

Immediately, soldiers and guards drew their pistols.

The assailant immediately held a knife to the president’s neck.

“Gasp! What is this…”

“How dare you interfere with Master’s business.”

Swish!

And then he flew.

He thought he was going to die like this, but he was really flying in the sky. It defied all logic.

It was impossible for a human to fly in the sky without any equipment. He felt weightless.

Perhaps the assailant had a flying device, and it flew very quickly and stably. It soared high into the sky, and people just stared blankly at this place like a dog chasing a chicken [a metaphor for being bewildered and unable to catch up].

Whoosh!

The wind whipped wildly at his face.

“S-Surely, Lee Yoo-sung sent him!?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I should have warned you through Director Katherine. That I would kidnap all high-ranking government officials and paralyze the government. You are just the first target.”

Swoosh!

“Aaaagh!”

He falls from the sky to the ground. No, it feels like it.

Thud!

Suddenly, he felt a dull impact on his head, and John Carter lost consciousness.

At that moment, when an earth-shattering event was taking place in the United States.

Lisa and the children were having a leisurely time at a villa located on the outskirts of Seoul.

Her husband told her to stay here for the day, and Lisa obediently listened. She trusted that there must be a reason for everything her husband did.

The daughters also liked it.

Sua and Sujeong were definitely geniuses, but that didn’t mean they had shed their childishness.

They really enjoyed coming to the waterfront for vacation.

“Mom! I think I caught something!”

Sujeong pulled on the fishing rod.

Sujeong and Sua also liked fishing, which her husband enjoyed.

In particular, her husband made fishing rods for his two daughters.

Sua also struggled to pull something up.

It was a large carp.

“Something is being caught?”

“Yeah! They said there are a lot of carp living here.”

It’s a really secluded villa.

It was amazing that such an artificial lake existed in Seoul. In addition, it was surrounded by mountains, giving the illusion of being in the suburbs.

She realized her husband’s success when he said that he had bought all the nearby land for a considerable amount of money.

“Mom. Dad called and said he’s coming soon.”

“Is that so?”

“We can have a barbecue party after a long time!?”

“That sounds delicious.”

Lisa stroked Sujeong’s hair.

She feels a sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Lisa was indifferent to money, but she thought that people needed a minimum amount of money to live.

In that sense, her husband was achieving great success.

Su Science Manufacturing Room.

A large amount of mana was used, but the Legend-grade mana stone was recovering its magic power at a rapid rate.

It was amazing how quickly the magic power was recovering.

Thanks to that, I also recovered more than half of my magic power. And I get up from my seat.

As I came out, Su Science factory manager Oh Cheol-gi ran over.

“Chairman!”

“Factory Manager. What’s going on?”

Distress was evident in Oh Cheol-gi’s eyes.

“The CIA Director has arrived!”

“Did she come alone?”

“She brought troops!”

“You mean the US military in Korea?”

“Yes!”

Katherine was from the military and had connections throughout the US military.

It was clear that she was close to the commander of the US Forces Korea, and it was not surprising that she brought the military to surround the area.

I hope they didn’t bring in the media.

“Are there any reporters?”

“There are no reporters.”

“That’s good.”

I look at my watch.

At this time, President John Carter must have been kidnapped. So that’s why she came all the way here.

I put on various buffs and went out to the front of the company.

US military forces had completely surrounded the area.

“You are under arrest for kidnapping a head of state!”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Are you saying the President has been kidnapped!?”

“Not your president, the US president has been kidnapped!”

“Oh, is that so?”

Katherine was angry.

It would be unfortunate for her, but there was no material evidence that I had kidnapped the US President. I just said one word yesterday that I would kidnap him, and only Katherine heard it.

“Do you have evidence? Do you have a warrant?”

“…”

“I don’t know what I did to make you do this.”

Of course, I denied it.

Katherine made me angry first, so this level of retaliation was natural.

She was at a loss for words.

“There’s no warrant, but you definitely did it!”

“So, do you have any evidence? I’m here, so how am I supposed to kidnap him?”

“You told me this morning!”

“I planned it this morning and flew all the way to the United States to kidnap him? I revealed everything about kidnapping the president of a country to the director of the intelligence agency, and you are telling me that he was kidnapped while you were preparing for it. Is that right? Without any evidence.”

Not only the US military but also the Korean police were mobilized.

The head of the police station’s investigation division also said that he couldn’t understand it.

“What you’re saying is correct, Chairman Lee Yoo-sung. Is there any circumstance or evidence that Chairman Lee Yoo-sung tried to kidnap the president?”

The circumstances are the problem.

The fact that the United States sent a spy and failed, and I, enraged by this, planned the kidnapping and told the CIA director about the plan, and the US president was actually kidnapped, was somewhat difficult to accept. It was a series of unfortunate coincidences.

Katherine knew that, but she made a mistake because she was too hasty.

If it comes out like this, it will inevitably lead to diplomatic friction and criticism from various countries. The US would look like a bully.

“There is no evidence. But you will have to cooperate with the investigation for a while.”

“Oh, that’s funny. Factory Manager. Is this scene being filmed right now?”

“Yes! It is automatically filmed and stored on the server.”

Katherine’s face contorted even more.

Anyway, I had nothing to lose right now.

No matter how much the United States suspects me, they cannot formally arrest me without any evidence. Katherine will eventually be stigmatized for suppressing Korea with the power of a superpower. Her career would be in jeopardy.

“Let’s go. I’m sorry, but I have a vacation planned with my family.”

Chairman Lee Yoo-sung was already in the car brought by the CIA.

Investigation Division Chief Oh Sang-jin faced Director Katherine.

Being the CIA Director is a big deal. But no matter how big of a deal she is, if she arrests an innocent citizen, it’s a problem.

“Director. I thought there was a warrant because you said we had to make an emergency arrest.”

“I’m sorry. Please understand.”

“Understand? What does Chairman Lee Yoo-sung have to do with this case? You said yourself that Lee Yoo-sung said that this morning, so there must be evidence. What crazy person would tell the director of the intelligence agency that they are going to kidnap the president of a country? And he gets kidnapped in a matter of hours? I can’t believe it.”

Katherine’s insides were boiling.

Chairman Lee Yoo-sung opened the car door and was leisurely smoking a cigarette.

And Chairman Lee Yoo-sung is smiling.

Katherine’s anger exploded.
