“What is going on…”

Vice Chairman Hong Kwon-tae, who came up on stage, looked flustered.

He was a man whose nickname, Hoho Grandpa, really suited him. He had a long, pure white beard and his hair was dyed a perfect white color.

But he was never one of those old men who would grunt and wait for the day to come when he would die.

He had a muscular body like that of an average adult male, and was a head taller than Hong Seo-yeon.

‘Well, damn it… He’s the vice president of Mirae Corporation and used to be the president, right? There’s no way he didn’t get cyberware treatment!’

This world is a world where you can do anything if you have money.

The technology to fully transmit one’s soul to a cyber network has even been perfected.

The very act of saying that there are things that money can’t buy is a world where people brag about not being able to afford them.

Money could buy a body that was healthy forever, the power to stop a giant tank, and the authority to make people kneel.

“Grandpa.”

“This can’t be happening… Damn it… In the control room right now…”

Hong Kwon-tae, muttering softly, had no idea that the replicant of Hong Seo-yeon in front of him was being controlled by Hong Seo-yeon herself.

So, he couldn’t help but be surprised when she suddenly hugged his waist.

“Hong Seo-yeon…”

“Grandpa, you shouldn’t be treating your granddaughter like this. Isn’t that too much? I just came back from a month off.”

“You piece of trash..! That’s why they say that when a hen crows, the household will fall apart! Do you know how long a month is? You’re a woman who left the company without saying a word for a whole month! ”

Hong Kwon-tae was truly angry, but it had no effect on Hong Seo-yeon.

Because she wasn’t a little girl anymore, trembling in fear of her grandfather, the future chairman of a corporation, like she used to be. ”

“Yes, yes, if a hen crows, the house may fall apart. But honestly, if a house is going to fall apart because a hen crows, shouldn’t it fall apart sooner? Grandpa?”

“This… this b*tch…”

He tried to get angry, but he couldn’t.

Because Hong Seo-yeon suddenly grabbed his waist while acting too carelessly.

“When did you come back? We probably retrieved your bio ID.”

“That was already in my hands a long time ago? Grandpa, aren’t you living life too slowly? You have to live quickly.”

“Huh, you stupid bitch. So what are you planning to do here?”

Hong Kwon-tae laughed boastfully.

But Hong Seo-yeon was not discouraged at all, and smiled while looking at the cameras and making a V sign.

“Okay, the energy shield I’m wearing on my waist right now has the power to protect two people! Do you know how big the difference between one and two people is? If it’s a lover you love, you can just buy one more of the existing product!”

There is plenty of room for leisure. Because Hong Seo-yeon won’t die even if an accident happens here.

She’s just remotely controlling the replicants. Even if the accident really happens the way Hong Kwon-tae wants, the only one who dies is Hong Kwon-tae.

Of course, there will be a huge incident where the chairman and vice chairman of the future company all die overnight…

Hong Seo-yeon’s body is a replicant, and people find out that she is an android during the natural process of disposing of and transporting the corpse.

At that time, Hong Seo-yeon, who had retrieved the bio ID, appeared and explained the situation in a rough manner, and the case would be resolved without a problem.

“It’s hard to put energy shield belts on your beloved babies or children, right? This product was created to solve that problem. Our vice president is too big to be called a baby, but…”

Hong Seo-yeon winked at the camera and snapped her fingers.

As the ground turns upside down, various firearms appear, starting with pistols and submachine guns, to assault rifles and sniper rifles.

These were the kind of weapons that gangsters living in the back alleys of Neo Seoul would carry around.

There was nothing wrong with this demonstration. Hong Seo-yeon wasn’t acting particularly rude.

“Hong Seo-yeon… Do you think you can survive if you do this?”

“Grandpa, I think you’re having a bit of a misunderstanding.”

Hong Seo-yeon smiles and snaps her fingers.

─Bang! Bang!

Fire shoots out of the end of the pistol, and Hong Seo-yeon’s energy shield creates a blue glow, easily blocking the bullet.

Neither Hong Seo-yeon nor Hong Kwon-tae were hurt.

“I have nothing to lose if this fails, right?”

“What the hell are you talking about…”

“I’m holding my grandfather like this…! If I get shot and die, won’t my grandfather die too?”

Hong Seo-yeon spoke with a rather scary smile, and it was only then that Hong Kwon-tae realized that her eyes were shining a different color than usual.

◦ Hong Seo -yeon … Yes, I was not back, but this mouse is like this.

“Ha! That’s not true. I’m a bit like that person. When you hold a ritual to tell me to die, I throw a tantrum and try not to die. ”

Hong Seo-yeon gave a short shout and hugged Hong Kwon-tae’s waist tightly with both hands.

Hong Kwon-tae naturally tried to get out of here through a power struggle, but he couldn’t.

Hong Seo-yeon’s two arms and two legs are new products that came out today. When they started a fight while violently spewing out pure white steam, it was only natural that Hong Seo-yeon would win.

“This… this bitch…! Did you think I’d be treated like this? Come in now! Now!”

Hong Kwon-tae’s eyes glow red.

“Vice Chairman Hong Kwon-tae…! You shouldn’t do something like that. You’re the chairman…!”

Ji-hoon finally got a chance to be active.

He naturally manipulated the HUD to prevent the clone guards waiting outside from coming in.

“It doesn’t end here…”

Ji-hoon didn’t stop there, but hypnotized the reporters waiting outside.

It was a bit unfortunate for them, but they moved them to naturally block the door to prevent outsiders from entering the announcement hall.

Even if a man is shameless and strong, when a wall of women begins to fill the entrance, he will instantly lose strength.

Ji-hoon even hypnotized them into guarding the door…

“Damn it…! The door won’t open so I can’t get in! I have to protect the vice president!”

“Go through the other door! You idiots! Go through the other door! This door is a fire door, you can’t break it down!”

“Sir… . What the heck! What the hell are these women doing here… these…”

They’re not just any women, they’re journalists. If they start talking nonsense like sexual harassment or something, it’s obvious that the clone guards with no human rights will be ‘eliminated’.

“…These incompetent kids…!”

Hong Kwon-tae’s eyes turn bloodshot when he sees that none of the clone soldiers he had trusted or the staff members on his line have entered the presentation hall.

But the world doesn’t change just because he’s angry. Hong Seo-yeon just smiled.

─Tata tata tata tang! Tata tata tang!

As the cool sound of the submachine gun ended, the energy shield that had been making a buzzing sound also began to show signs of malfunction.

Dismissal

The shield, which had been opaque, begins to blink with an ominous sound.

Hong Kwon-tae knew exactly what had happened, because he had manipulated it that way.

There is no employee who does not bow down before his authority, power, fame, and money.

There were many employees who escaped the notice of Hong Seo-yeon, who ran the company based on ability.

How hard must Hong Kwon-tae have helped those people when he reached out to them? Hong Seo-yeon, who had been diligently demonstrating the energy shield while believing in it, foolishly died because the shield went off…

“These are some fucking kids..”

Ji-hoon clicked his tongue after checking Hong Seo-yeon’s view, her room, and the room of the president of the future company.

“This… This! Why won’t the door open?”

“What the fuck! Shouldn’t the door be open? What the hell is going on!”

Men with their hands full of suspicious objects were swearing and struggling to open the door.

They came up to make it seem like there was a proper reason for Hong Seo-yeon’s death. What could be in the baskets they are holding in their hands? Expensive liquor that is so poisonous that you have to spit it out after just one sip? Strange drugs that are no longer available? Electronic drugs that will ruin your brain if you use them on your brain chip just once?

I don’t know what’s inside. But, they can’t open the door and go in. They can’t call the elevator and go down. They can’t go down the emergency stairs.

Because Ji-hoon blocked them all by hacking and using a cyber hypnosis app.

Because I was prepared for something like that, I even ‘hypnotized’ myself into not being able to move from that place.

“Hong Seo-yeon…!”

Hong Kwon-tae is furious and terrified when he realizes that none of the things he prepared or the insurances he had worked for are working.

He is a human who continues to take Soylent Red, that damn expensive drug.

He may seem like a person without greed because he stepped down from the position of chairman of a large corporation, but that is not the case.

He is a greedy person. He even killed his own granddaughter who was no longer valuable and tried to become the chairman again…

“Grandpa, you know I’m not going to die, right? Seriously… Even if I get a ton of bullet holes in my body… it just hurts like hell. You know I won’t get hurt even a little bit, right?”

“Hong Seo-yeon… Stop this crazy thing right now…”

“Grandpa, you shouldn’t have stolen my bio ID and treated me like that.”

Hong Seo-yeon smiled brightly and whispered, hugging Hong Kwon-tae with enough strength that he could feel her spine.

“Grandpa, when was the last time you hugged me like this?”

“…”

“You’re always angry at me, where were you when my mom and dad died? I think they didn’t die in an accident, right?”

“…Hong Seo-yeon, if you want to talk about that-”

“No, that’s fine. Take care. I don’t really want to know. Because I already know.”

Hong Seo-yeon smiles and raises her finger.

“Okay! You’ve been bored so far, right? Let’s cool off this time! Let’s shoot all the guns in the studio! Look forward to seeing how well the energy shield holds up! Everyone!”

“Ho, Hong Seo-yeon! Stop right now!! If you’re manipulating replicants remotely! It’s fatal to your nerves-”

“Is that all you can do?! Beg for my life! Grandpa! I want to live! I don’t want to lose!!! If you beg, I’ll think about it!”

“What the fuck…!”

Hong Kwon-tae endured the boiling blood. He had survived until now, enduring the pain of licking his gallbladder.

So, he opens his mouth, expecting the final humiliation, the one that will hit Hong Seo-yeon once again.

“Stop it! I was wrong! Me..! Stop it now!”

“Okay.”

Hong Seo-yeon laughed and snapped her fingers.

─Tadadada! Bang!

─Tang! Bang! Tang! Bang! Tang! Tang!!!!!

The guns were firing hotly, and Hong Seo-yeon smiled with a satisfied look on her face, spreading her hands wide to the left and right.

She enjoys this sound as if she were listening to a nice song.

“Hong… Seoyeon…”

Hong Kwon-tae knelt down. He didn’t really have anything to do, like peeing. But when he saw Hong Seo-yeon smiling in satisfaction, he lost his mind for a moment.

“See you again soon, Grandpa.”

Hong Seo-yeon smiled and lightly tapped the energy shield that Ji-hoon had been remotely controlling.

She didn’t want her grandfather to die. She wanted him to live forever, forever, in shame and humiliation.

“Okay, everyone, our vice president was so surprised that he got on his knees… but look? He blocked all these gun attacks. If you buy this energy shield right now! You too can protect yourself and your loved ones from enemies that suddenly appear. ”

Hong Seo-yeon, smiling contently, winked at the camera.
