‘It’s a plan for the future…’

Do you seriously think there is such a thing?

It’s not that different from the fact that I was the one who felt devastated when I saw the breaking news related to the terrorist attacks in Europe.

But what a plan.

It wasn’t a vending machine where I just pressed a button and a plan popped out, so there was no way there was anything like that.

Rather… wouldn’t it be strange to have a plan?

The fact that he comes up with a solution even in this extremely exceptional situation, which is not an ordinary situation, cannot be explained simply by saying that he is very intelligent.

Such a thing would only be possible for someone who predicted that a terrorist attack would occur.

‘But how do you predict something like this…’

Not even a prophet.

Wouldn’t it be more plausible that he had some connection with the person responsible for this terrorist attack and knew in advance that a terrorist attack would occur?

This incident was so irregular that it seemed more realistic.

As such, there was no way there was any plan right away.

However, it wasn’t that I didn’t completely understand Dangsoso’s behavior in asking me that.

There is a high possibility that I would have acted that way even if I were in the same position as her.

First, let’s discuss the current situation from the party’s perspective.

It could be said that while the group was moving with the intention of dealing with local gangsters who had dared to challenge a large company without even knowing the topic, a bombing occurred at the headquarters building of what could be said to be the group’s largest business partner.

As the situation itself is like that, from the point of view of Dangsoso, who as a direct lineage has a great influence on the operation of the Sacheon Group, knowingly or unknowingly, just predicting and calculating what effect this terrorist incident will have on the group was bound to make my head spin. .

But just at that moment, a communication came from me.

The fact that he was saying that was like he knew something about this incident… so from the prosecution’s point of view, they had no choice but to grasp at straws and place their hopes on me.

People who are pushed to their mental limits usually act like that.

‘···I was like that once too.’

That was when I was at a gifted education center.

Tell me what to do.

At that time, I was overcome with tremendous anxiety.

One by one, my classmates began to notice my talent, but I was the only one who had not heard anything about it.

‘To be honest… I couldn’t believe it.’

That’s because until then, I thought I was the main character of the world.

Isn’t the narrative of a child who had a difficult childhood for some reason growing up to become a hero who saves many people appearing so often in boys’ comics that it becomes tiresome?

At the time, I thought I was that kind of being.

It was a past that I was embarrassed to talk about with my own mouth, but that was it.

Therefore, I had no doubt that I would discover a tremendous talent that matched my potential.

However, even if you wait for cancer, there is no news… so people can’t help but go crazy.

If Dangsoso’s feelings now were similar to how I felt at the time, it was not that I couldn’t understand his actions in asking me things like my future plans.

It’s not that I don’t understand… but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand.

I need to say it clearly.

Only then will I be able to feel ‘reality’ like I did before.

“There is no such thing as a plan. In the first place, I first heard about it through a news bulletin.”

“Ah…”

“But there can be no such thing as a plan…”

I was trying to belittle my words by saying it wasn’t there, but then a thought occurred to me.

I thought maybe… this might be an opportunity.

After all, when would a power as large as the Magic Tower Alliance experience a crisis like this?

And… there has never been a better time to rip someone off than someone else’s crisis.

Suddenly, such thoughts took over my mind… but I didn’t say out loud the suggestion that it would be a good idea to take advantage of this situation.

Would you say I’m crazy?

I’m not the only one here.

It was only Dangsoso and I who were talking, but Helena, a member of the Magic Tower, was also present here.

But in such a situation, you talk as if this terrorist incident was a huge opportunity?

The moment I act like that, my image within Helena will be thrown into the trash.

Overcoming it would be impossible with ordinary effort.

‘In the first place, unlike Tang Soso, there is still no such thing as something here…’

So I had to be more careful.

The level of difficulty is bound to be completely different between seducing an opponent when his or her favorability rating is around 30 or 40 and attacking the opponent when his or her favorability rating has reached -100.

No, it was questionable whether the attack would even be possible.

It’s not for nothing that they say that an ugly guy looks hateful no matter what he does.

No matter what I do for Helena, when I look at it through the eyes of Helena, whose favorability for me has already penetrated the mantle and is buried in the inner core, I feel like that bastard must be hiding some hideous plan. Because.

“That… communication with the personnel dispatched to Vietnam. Are you still maintaining it?”

The fact that he made such a statement instead of gently persuading the party that this might be an opportunity to rob the Magic Tower Alliance was close to being the result of taking that into consideration.

-Yes? Ah yes.

“Can you tell me what the situation is like there?”

-Well… I think everyone is quite confused, even if they don’t make it obvious.

Well, I guess so.

Although it was only a temporary alliance, the Magic Tower Alliance and Sichuan Group had joined hands for this Yunnan expedition.

However, for that reason, the people who were moving together suddenly left the scene without any explanation and took the side of Hanoi in the Fast and Furious… The powerlessness of the party group was suddenly left behind in the border area between Vietnam and Yunnan. From the university’s perspective, it would be both absurd and confusing.

“Are you aware of the news that a terrorist attack occurred in Europe?”

-Seeing as there hasn’t been anything else said about it, it seems like it’s not yet… but it’s probably just a matter of time.

Yes, it will.

Right now, they’re so confused that they can’t figure out what to do, but once that goes away, curiosity will creep into their minds.

“Then… how about you tell me that first?”

-News about terrorism?

“Yes, Soso, you were like that too. It’s only a matter of time before we find out anyway. So, before they hear news about terrorist attacks, we tell them first.”

– Hmm, really… is this your plan to minimize confusion?

“That’s right.”

I don’t know exactly where the Tang family’s armed forces, which are currently on an expedition to Vietnam, are located, but what is certain is that the area where they are currently located is in enemy territory.

In other words, you never know when or where an attack might come.

But in such a situation, the entire unit falls into confusion…?

It was the perfect scenario for a morale to break out and be wiped out.

So, first of all, I talked about this possibility as if we should do something about it, and I was able to get the sympathy of the party without difficulty.

“But… the problem comes after that.”

-What if next time…?

“Honestly, I think it’s right to retreat to Hanoi and help the Magic Tower staff. So, what do you think?”

ㅡSo…cough…!

No, at this moment, I suddenly hear a voice…?

Are you saying that what I said was that surprising?

Honestly, I don’t think it goes to that extent.

Rather… my suggestion was close to being extremely reasonable based on the tactical abuse I learned at the gifted education center.

That’s because we are currently on an ‘expedition’.

It was also a long-distance expedition, not an ordinary expedition.

The fact that we were on an expedition did not mean that there was a base somewhere that served as a supply base.

Tell me what to do.

That was the role of the teleport terminal located in the center of Hanoi.

Originally, it would have been unthinkable to use that place as a supply base, but the alliance with the Magic Tower Alliance made such a thing actually possible.

From the Sichuan Group’s point of view, there was no need to transport supplies by ship to Vietnam; the supply problem was solved simply by sending the supplies through the teleport terminal located inside New Province City, so there was no such thing as honey.

It was definitely like that until now…

‘If something goes wrong with the teleport terminal in Hanoi, things get messy.’

Still, since I have some supplies already accumulated, I guess it will be okay for a while.

Well, is that really the case?

Even if I were the force that controlled the teleport terminal, I think I would blow it all up first.

And in the aftermath, how many days can a unit that has completely run out of supplies survive?

From my perspective, I couldn’t help but be concerned about that, so I tried to suggest that they step back for now and help the Magic Tower Alliance members.

-Collok…!

The sound of Dang Soso’s coughing coming from the portable display in my hand covered my mouth.

No, so at what point did you get so surprised…

Is he really saying that I called him by his name?
