We Do Business In Full Auto [EN]: Chapter 140

Negotiation (2)

It’s a leisurely day.

I’ve been running non-stop until now, and there hasn’t been time to organize my thoughts.

Of course, various things are still happening within the company.

Executives are working tirelessly to establish the Su Group’s company structure and to acquire the construction and delivery companies simultaneously.

Management isn’t a solitary endeavor; it’s built collaboratively with capable subordinates. If I were trying to handle everything myself, I wouldn’t have the luxury of fishing like this.

Fishing isn’t going as well as I’d hoped.

I heard that they released a considerable number of crucian carp fry [young fish] after creating this artificial lake, but I don’t know if they haven’t grown enough yet, or if my fishing skills are lacking.

The kids are playing by the water on their own, and my wife is sitting in a rocking chair reading a book. I think this is what real relaxation is.

I think about the future.

Catherine and the situation in America have been resolved.

The US President directly accepted all conditions to resolve this situation, and she should be released and back in her position by now.

If the return of the President and her cabinet members had been delayed, it would have caused significant problems in the administration of the country.

I hadn’t thought that far ahead.

America is a large market and a wealthy country.

Not expanding business there would be a significant loss.

“I need to expand the scope of my business.”

My business is currently limited to Korea.

I’m running several businesses, but it’s not enough to satisfy me.

Now that I’ve silenced America, shouldn’t I start the process of acquiring M Group in earnest?

M Group.

A company hailed as the star of the business world, having dominated the global fashion industry with luxury brands. Its value must be enormous, but a big deal is possible if I liquidate the cash I currently have.

The target of that big deal is Kalburn, the former head of Dark Moon.

The money that went to Kalburn can be recovered somehow, so increasing the company’s size that way wouldn’t be a bad move.

The acquisition of M Group was something that had to be done someday.

“My nerve has grown.”

I wouldn’t have even imagined it in the past.

But after reaching the 6th Circle [a level of magical or spiritual attainment], my confidence was full, and I felt I could solve any problem that came my way.

That’s why I could boldly think of challenging and influencing America. Sujeong gave me advice, but I was the one who put it into action.

‘Come to think of it, there’s nothing to fear if Sujeong is my strategist.’

I was half in doubt, but America yielded when I demonstrated overwhelming power.

I thought Catherine would take care of influencing Russia.

After influencing them, I’ll subtly spread rumors. That’s the only way to prevent troublesome things from happening in the future.

Let’s say the direction of the business is set that way.

What about the development of my realm?

After reaching the 6th Circle, I haven’t gained any significant enlightenment. I could grasp at clues, but I was at a loss as to how to reach a higher realm.

Sujeong will help, but Sujeong has limitations from the start.

My daughter needs to have her body fully grown to reach the 6th Circle. Her heart needs to grow to the size of a middle school student to ascend to a higher circle, so there was a limit to how much Sujeong could figure out.

Thud!

I felt something tapping and a bite came.

The fishing I’m doing is called freshwater long cast fishing.

It’s the fishing of beginners who roughly put earthworms on a hook and throw them in the sea. I learned about crucian carp long cast fishing through Sujeong, and I was killing time by roughly getting freshwater earthworms, threading them on a hook, and throwing them.

To be exact, I was organizing my thoughts.

I quickly set the hook.

“Oh, I missed it.”

It was incredibly disappointing.

Even a mere creature uses its head to survive. Freshwater fish are said to be extremely cunning, and they often escape if the timing of the hook set is even slightly late.

‘To break the wall of the 6th Circle, I need a deeper realization. I was able to reach the 6th Circle only after breaking all the stereotypes I knew. To reach the 7th Circle, I may have to define the creation of the universe or dark matter, not just human affairs.’

A realm beyond science.

No matter how developed modern science is, no one has revealed how the universe is structured, how it was born, or what lies beyond it.

There are rampant speculations and several hypotheses, but no one can confidently say that any of them are accurate.

‘Perhaps I can find the principle of creation in light and darkness. The concepts of good and evil also originally came from light and darkness. Considering that darkness was born from light and that the two were originally one, it cannot be a very abstract concept.’

Starting from this abstract concept and pursuing the truth.

That may be the way to the 7th Circle.

Ugh!

Suddenly, blood rushes up from inside.

I secretly vomit blood without my wife noticing.

It feels refreshing.

Black blood splattered out, and black magic was gathering from all directions.

Goooo!

Sujeong looks this way.

My wife and Sua couldn’t possibly know about black magic, but Sujeong did. She could fully recognize that black magic was gathering this way.

Sujeong runs over.

Sua was running behind her.

“Dad, could it be!?”

“I think I’ve found a clue.”

“Wow! Dad is the best!”

“Dad is the best!”

Sua was just following her sister without knowing why.

My wife looked this way and just smiled.

‘Good and evil, light and darkness, and the birth of the universe must have some connection.’

As I thought that, the circle was about to split.

If I take one more step here, the circle will split and I can reach the 7th Circle. It means I can overcome the limits of humanity.

‘Those who have learned black magic have neglected science too much. That’s because they knew the limits of human scientific power well. But science is not something to be ignored either.’

The reason I found the path to the 7th Circle is because I combined it with science.

Abstract concepts and science meet and present the way.

It was like finding a lighthouse in the dark sea.

“After all, people need to rest.”

My mind became clear, so I could think comfortably and gain enlightenment in the middle of it.

I think being with my family is a great opportunity for me.

‘I wonder if Catherine is doing well?’

CIA Korean Branch.

Director Catherine was talking to the President.

John Carter couldn’t believe everything Director Catherine said.

-That was an android?

“That’s what I can guess.”

-Did CEO Lee Yoo-sung say that directly?

“Not exactly, he delivered the voice directly into my head. I know how absurd this situation is. I was surprised too.”

-……You want me to believe that?

“You have to believe it because you experienced it directly.”

-Well, they weren’t human. Humans can’t be that fast and agile. Besides, who knew they could fly so freely in the sky? The Wright brothers would have been horrified.”

The President was reminiscing about that time and was somewhat excited.

I could fully understand John Carter’s feelings.

Catherine would have felt the same way.

The current military technology of the US military is the best in the world. It was a place that used all kinds of cutting-edge equipment, and technological development was still ongoing.

But even that collection of technology could not stop CEO Lee Yoo-sung’s new technology.

He showed his power by dispatching an android that was clearly developed for military purposes. And he kidnapped the President and his cabinet members.

If the kidnapping had failed, something terrible would have happened. They would have chased and killed CEO Lee Yoo-sung at all costs, and if the Korean government interfered with that, it could have led to war. But CEO Lee Yoo-sung succeeded.

He dispatched a monstrous android and kidnapped the President and cabinet members of the world’s most powerful country. He could have killed them all, but CEO Lee Yoo-sung didn’t.

Above all, there was no evidence.

Except for when CEO Lee Yoo-sung warned Catherine for the first time, he didn’t leave any evidence. It’s as if he was determined to conceal the information altogether.

Then he gave instructions in his head.

The deal was made and the President and cabinet members were released immediately.

It was truly an amazing thing.

“Actually, CEO Lee Yoo-sung gave one more instruction.”

-What instruction?

“The presidents and cabinet members of Russia are also being held, so my mission is to mediate.”

-Huh! Is that true!?

“Yes. I confirmed it locally.”

-If that’s true…….

“It means there’s no point in offending CEO Lee Yoo-sung. I think his power is enough to level a city.”

-Heh heh. If he’s committed to sabotage, that’s probably true.”

You shouldn’t make someone you can’t handle your enemy.

In fact, the US and Russia were largely to blame for CEO Lee Yoo-sung’s extreme actions.

Since the Cold War, the US and Russia have been constantly competing. The reason why they fight proxy wars from time to time is also because of that.

That competition led to the conclusion that they had to somehow extract CEO Lee Yoo-sung’s technology. And the US and Russia each sent mercenaries to Su Science.

What if they hadn’t sent mercenaries?

Of course, CEO Lee Yoo-sung would have had no reason to act that way.

And CEO Lee Yoo-sung showed overwhelming power.

He warned that if something like this happened in the future, something unmanageable would happen. But no one was hurt.

It was also amazing that there were no casualties in doing something like this.

“So, I’m going to meet with the Director of the Russian Intelligence Service.”

-When?

“I need to meet as soon as possible. I’m about to leave for Russia on a private plane. I’ll make a call before that.”

-Hahaha. I see. Be careful meeting the head of those sly old foxes.”

“Of course.”

Catherine hung up and immediately prepared to fly to Russia.

On the way to the airport, she immediately called the Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

Knowing the phone number of the Director of the Russian Intelligence Service, which is no different from an enemy country, is also classified.

They were competitors, but they also moved towards a common goal. The phone number was something they knew because such things often happened.

She was reluctant to call the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, whose predecessor was the Soviet KGB [Committee for State Security, the main security agency for the Soviet Union]. But she had no choice in order to keep her promise with CEO Lee Yoo-sung.

A screaming voice is heard over the phone.

-Have you ever seen such a crazy woman! How dare you kidnap all the presidents and cabinet members of our country! Are you trying to start a war?
