The Great Realm (1)

Catherine frowned deeply.

For some reason, she wasn’t surprised that Director Nova, as she knew him, would react this way.

*How did such a hothead get to this position?*

Catherine, as always, was unable to reflect on her own personality.

“It’s not something to get so worked up about, you know?”

“How can I *not* get worked up!? I’m going to kill that bastard!”

“Oh, come on. If you’re like this, there’s no point in me trying to mediate, is there?”

“Am I in a state to calm down right now!? Huh!? That bastard, Lee Yoosung, dares to do this to a superpower? I’ll turn it into a sea of fire with a nuclear strike!”

Of course, that wouldn’t happen.

The president had to authorize a nuclear launch, and the president was currently kidnapped.

“Alright, alright, calm down.”

“Ugh.”

In any case, it wasn’t Catherine’s fault.

She was here to mediate, so it wasn’t reasonable for him to vent his anger at her.

“But is there any proof that Chairman Lee Yoosung did this?”

“No.”

“No!?”

“Chairman Lee Yoosung only talks through me… The problem is, he uses highly advanced technology to make the conversation resonate in my head.”

“Ha! Does that even make sense?”

“If it’s Chairman Lee Yoosung, it’s possible.”

Grind!

“So, the problem is that it ends if we just take care of Chairman Lee Yoosung.”

“We tried that and failed. Don’t make things bigger for no reason. Don’t touch something that can end quietly and end up paying a huge fine.”

“Hmph! That guy looks down on Russia too much.”

In the end, the mediation failed.

Well, maybe Catherine knew that the situation would turn out this way. She certainly knew Director Nova’s volatile personality well.

She was here only because of Chairman Lee Yoosung’s request.

Catherine decided to return to the United States immediately.

In the end, nothing was accomplished here.

She called Chairman Lee Yoosung.

-It’s me.

“Chairman, I’m sorry, but the mediation failed.”

-Mediation? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Then, a voice echoed in her head.

[Did that director say he was going to kill me?]

“……!”

Catherine’s eyes widened.

She had just left Russian airspace. But Chairman Lee Yoosung was sending a signal all the way here and talking to her in her head.

*He was truly a terrifying person.*

“Yes, that’s what he said.”

[I understand.]

“You should prepare. Director Nova seems to have lost his mind and might do anything.”

[Don’t worry about my affairs. Then, have a safe trip.]

The call and the telepathic communication, or whatever it was, ended.

Catherine sank into her seat.

“Tsk. Director Nova might end up losing his job. He was a valuable asset, but his temper is the problem.”

Meanwhile, back in Korea…

Lee Yoosung roughly declared that he would acquire M Group and gave the executives tasks to do. He also gave them homework to write a plan on how to maximize management profits while increasing the size of the company.

He intended to get rid of anyone who seemed useless in this assignment.

*The Soo Group that I would create did not invest a lot of salary in incompetent people.*

It was better to just use mutant vampires.

*Now, when I enter the French Catacombs [a network of underground tunnels and ossuaries in Paris], I will fill all the magic power of the 7th Circle and try to summon the next level of undead.*

Now I could summon succubi [female demons], and if I had the souls of knights, I could even summon death knights.

In addition, I would be able to summon high-ranking demons, so expectations were high.

In particular, the high-ranking demons that popped out at random had genius brains that surpassed mutant succubi.

If those guys were to assist me, I could cut off all the incompetent, high-paid people who only eat money.

*Wouldn’t it be possible to run the company on auto someday? Not just the work of the stores, but also the head office in charge of complex tasks.*

To find out for sure, I had to go and pick them myself.

“Chairman!”

I was about to head to France.

I told my family that I was going on a business trip as planned, and I got a plane ticket.

I was about to go straight to Incheon Airport and head to France, but Secretary Lee Seulgi came into the chairman’s office.

“What’s wrong?”

“Can I go to France too!?”

“Huh? Why?”

“If it’s certain that you’re acquiring M Group this time, I have to go and see it myself. I need to know the company’s situation to some extent.”

“Is that necessary?”

“Yes!”

Her will seemed firm.

Even if I acquired M Group, I was going to let their people manage it. But I would replace some people.

Maybe Calvene will step up to the management front.

Now that I have decided to show myself to the world, there is no reason for Calvene to live underground.

Then.

It seems okay to take Lee Seulgi with me.

She was competent, so she was the right person to grasp the reality of the company and write a report on how to manage the business in connection with Soo Group.

“I have no choice.”

“I’ll prepare right away!”

“Ah, but you know.”

“Yes?”

“You’re not trying to run away under the pretext of this because your work in Korea is too heavy, are you?”

“What are you talking about!? I’m only focused on the development of the company.”

She’s so excited that she seems real.

Incheon International Airport.

The purpose of going to France this time is twofold.

One is to fill the magic power of the 7th Circle, and the other is to acquire M Group. I will return home after completing both tasks.

However, one thing that bothered me about leaving Korea was what Russia might do. But I had thoroughly prepared for this.

I had densely laid out dozens of mutant vampires. I couldn’t summon succubi or demons yet because my magic power wasn’t full, but this alone would be enough to prepare.

And Catherine went to persuade Russia, so I thought things would work out well.

I was going through the procedures and waiting to board when sturdy men in black suits blocked my way.

Chuck!

“What is it?”

The men bowed 90 degrees.

“We are here to see Chairman Lee Yoosung. We are from the CIA [Central Intelligence Agency].”

Fluent English flowed out.

It’s an American pronunciation, not a slightly stiff British accent. It seems like they are really from the CIA. Catherine should be in Russia by now, right?

“Why on earth is the CIA…?”

Lee Seulgi showed a light of vigilance.

Lee Seulgi also knew that a spy had infiltrated Soo Science this time. There was no reason to have good feelings for Americans. Besides, she also knew that they had oppressed me because of the missing VIP.

They look quite troubled.

“You still have time, so can we talk for a moment?”

“Well, let’s do that.”

“Humph! What’s the CIA doing here? Are you trying to threaten our chairman again?”

“No. Absolutely not, so I hope we can talk for a moment. We will never cause any harm! I swear!”

“Did you come because of the Russia issue?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

“Russia…?”

Lee Seulgi tilted her head.

Lee Seulgi wouldn’t know what was going on.

I nodded and followed the CIA agents.

“I’ll be back in a minute.”

“Chairman! Do you know what they’re up to!?”

“Oh, it’s nothing, so have some coffee.”

As Lee Seulgi tried to follow, the CIA agents stopped her.

She was just stomping her feet.

The place they arrived at was the staff office. The office was empty, probably at the request of the CIA.

The agents skillfully installed a laptop.

Soon, Catherine appeared in clear picture quality.

It seemed like she was on a plane, but the picture quality was so good. As expected, American technology is quite advanced.

They must have used a satellite to connect to the network. And the satellite that serves as the medium is probably a multipurpose military satellite that was recently launched.

-Chairman! I’m sorry.

Catherine apologized as soon as she saw me.

From the look on her face, it was clear that she had failed to persuade Russia.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

-Yes! Director Nova is going to cause great harm to the chairman and his family! I think he’s planning a kidnapping…

“I see.”

-Your eldest daughter is the most dangerous!

As expected, it’s the CIA.

No, if Soo Jung is an elementary school student and has some intellectual level, she can deduce that she is the most dangerous.

The apartment was rather safe, but the moment Soo Jung left school was the most dangerous.

There seems to be no need to leave evidence here after doing so well so far.

I immediately cast communication magic on her.

-It doesn’t matter. I’ve densely deployed dozens of androids who kidnapped the president of your country last time.

-Really!?

-Yes. They will probably stop an army from invading.

There seems to be no need to tell her that Soo Jung also has considerable power.

Catherine looked relieved at my words.

She also knew how brutal the mutant vampires were. Even though the U.S. military had set up a defense network on purpose, they couldn’t stop them, and the CIA sent a large number of special agents to harm me and my family, but they couldn’t even approach.

Even if Russia sends guys who are said to be great, they can stop them and still have plenty left over.

-Still, please be careful. Russian agents will be heading there tomorrow.

-I will.

I got up from my seat.

The agents had dumbfounded expressions.

I didn’t say much, and it looked like Director Catherine was just muttering to herself.

I came out to the waiting room where Lee Seulgi was waiting.

The agents bowed politely.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

“You’re welcome.”

As soon as the agents disappeared, Lee Seulgi was horrified.

“Chairman! Are you okay!? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“If I had known this would happen, I would have brought an android. I had a feeling they were plotting something behind the scenes.”

To be exact, it’s Russia.

The CIA has completely washed their hands of me and my family.

They had experienced what happens if they touch me, so they were cooperating as much as possible. But SVR [Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service] Director Nova didn’t seem to think so.

“Hmm. How much should I extort from Russia?”
