episode_0296

Sinuiju, to be exact, has arrived at the destination.

There were only about 10 people who got off the special room, including me, Ymir, and Taejo.

They were all employees who followed the idol group’s individual performance, and of course, they were all ‘talented people’.

[Ymir. Come this way.]

I used my telepathy-like ability to convey my intentions to Ymir using mana.

[Are these people all Black agents?]

[okay. Everyone’s ability level is very different… but in reality, there are only two A-class and one S-class combatants.]

Eight except for the two of us.

Excluding Taejo being S-class, among the remaining personnel, there were only two A-class people who could be considered combatants.

[Probably, those E-class and D-class are all operational support staff, such as operators. If I go into battle, I will use the weapon in the container over there.]

One by one, they move to the container without causing any suspicion.

As they were all skilled agents, their movements seemed to be normal even when captured by satellite, and they began to gather in a container in a location that was not caught by CCTV.

[Let’s follow.]

Ymir and I also moved to the container.

“Huh?”

“Those two…?”

As soon as the two of us entered, the others tilted their heads, and soon their eyes turned to the person in charge of resolving the situation.

“These are people I specially invited.”

Despite Taejo’s words, others did not raise their eyes of suspicion.

Since we are still in the form of Hyun Cheol-soo and Jeon Young-hee, what they see will be D and E classes, not S and EX classes.

“Captain. No matter what, the bodyguard…”

“It’s not them. These are people who came on behalf of the parties involved. These are the people sent directly by Gwangik-gong.”

“Oh…!”

Everyone’s gaze changed in an instant.

As soon as the name Gwangikgong was mentioned, the suspicion disappeared and they began to look at us with a mixture of envy, trust, and a little jealousy.

[As soon as I say Gwangikgong, everyone’s expressions change. But why are you jealous of us? Because they are a couple?]

[Because Gwangikong sent it. Because Gwangikong sent me as someone who can be trusted for this matter.]

[It’s really amazing. Gwangikgong’s influence.]

Gwangikgong’s business card allows even people whose identity is unclear to entrust their services with just a little guarantee.

Since it was Black Taejo who said it and not someone else, these agents also have no choice but to immediately trust us.

[But is it okay for us to say that they are not Hyun Cheol-soo and Jeon Young-hee?]

[are you okay. All you have to do is not get caught that you are a gangster. And in the worst case, it doesn’t matter if you get caught as a goblin and a golden master.]

[Because they were sent by Gwangikkong? Feeling like you’re lending a cat’s hand? Blame it all on Gwangikong?]

[okay.]

I don’t feel sorry for Gwangikkong.

He told me to sell myself if necessary, and of course the reason I participated in this operation was because of Gwangikkong’s request.

[Later, people will make excuses. Especially in China and Russia.]

[Geumbudosa aside, how can you ask for support from a goblin?]

[okay. However, if Gwangyukgong is mixed in, the story is different.]

[aha. If Gwangikkong requested support from a goblin, the whole world would probably condemn China and Russia?]

[Smart.]

How can you ask a goblin for help?

These words are replaced with the sentence, “How did you try to do something bad by mobilizing trash so vicious as to ask a goblin for help the moment the person who requested it becomes a Gwangikgong?”

Because Gwangikgong’s good influence is absolute.

“Hmm. Everyone is gathered.”

As all 10 people gathered in a huge container box installed near Sinuiju Station, Taejo put his hand on the command table inside the container, which was decorated like a situation room, and put on a headset with a microphone.

“Ah. I have control. From now on, I, Armored King Taejo, will lead the gold mine protection operation.”

Kim Tae-sik revealed his identity.

Other people with special abilities weren’t particularly surprised by that either.

You probably already knew.

Contrary to what we found out through intelligence, the seven agents who came here with Taejo are all black agents like Taejo.

“Before the operation, everyone salutes the national flag.”

The Korean flag fluttered on the monitor.

Everyone put their hands on their hearts and there was no music.

“For the endless development and glory of the country and people.”

Instead, the Black King Taejo calmly spoke to the national flag in a serious voice, as if reciting a prayer.

“We are the guardians of the shadows who protect the country and its people. I will do my best to prevent those who live in the world of light from looking into the darkness in the deep shadows. For the future people of Daehan who will live in this land.”

“””Loyalty.”””

black.

These are people who do the country’s dirty work, things that cannot be done ‘openly’ by the country.

Of course, there are two types of black.

One is pure black without any blemishes.

And the other is an unclean black that has become clouded with all sorts of things mixed together.

If you have to choose which side, Taejo is closer to the pure black side.

If it were the case of Filthy Black, I wouldn’t have brought Ymir.

When dealing with them, it will be full of blood and fresh blood.

“…Then, go to your respective positions. Ah, your code names are…”

“It’s a code name. Um.”

For a moment, I thought about it.

After scanning all the people present, there is no one particularly suspicious.

The two unnamed Class A members, as well as the agents, are all loyal to the country.

And sometimes, for the sake of the country, he is willing to point a gun at enemies of the country.

In that case, it would be a good idea to throw in some ‘rice cake’.

“I can’t tell you in detail, so call this one ‘Gold’ and I’ll call you ‘Grey’.”

Ymir gave him a look asking why he was Gold.

“…Why is it gold and gray?”

The same goes for Taejo.

Unlike Ymir, who purely looked at ‘I am platinum’, others, including Taejo, seemed to show all kinds of imagination based on gold and gray.

That’s probably why the question was asked.

“You’ll find out why later. When it’s our turn to step forward.”

You will see it someday.

Why is Ymir gold?

And why did I call myself ‘grey’?

It’s not that I’m someone who stands on the border between black and white or anything, it’s just that my name is Gray.

“Rest assured. As long as we are here, no one here will die.”

“…I have to hope that you two don’t have to step forward. Then, the operation begins now.”

Taejo held the microphone and pointed to the map.

“We will deal with the enemy at the gold mine here. Because the enemy does not come to the ground.”

Red dots are pointing with arrows across the Yalu River toward Sinuiju.

The arrow is crossing the border and penetrating into Sinuiju, but the northern part of Sinuiju shown in the satellite image was anything but peaceful.

“Now, they are planning to dig a tunnel and come all the way here.”

The distance from the estimated enemy base beyond the Yalu River to the destination is only 40km.

Some people may ask how to dig a 40km tunnel, but what is impossible when there are people with this ability?

“We will intercept them underground, at the entrance to the gold mine.”

“Aren’t you going to intercept it directly?”

“There should be one or two tunnels.”

Taejo snapped his fingers, and the number of red arrows instantly increased.

“Use the gold mine as a base and defend there directly. If you take down the two traitorous beauties from China and Russia, the rest will run away on their own. Well then, ‘Operation Bonanza’ begins now.”

Bonanza.

No, Touch.

Just like you shouldn’t touch someone else’s woman.

You must not touch other people’s resources.

That time.

Coo coo coo.

The sound of the drill spinning continues.

Dust swirls around, but the talented people swing their fans and the dust quickly blows away.

“Hey, can’t you sell it faster?”

“Is this fast enough?”

“Ha.”

The Heavenly Demon shouted sharply at Rasputin and rolled up his sleeves.

“Shovel.”

“Ah, yes!”

When the man in a suit next to him handed over a shovel, Cheonma took the shovel himself and approached the side of the machine digging in front.

“Inhale!”

The moment the shovel was filled with mana, the Heavenly Demon began swinging the shovel left and right to dig up the dirt.

At a speed faster than that of an excavator digging into the ground, at a speed that seemed like an alarm, a tunnel began to be created that could easily accommodate ten people.

“Wow, that’s awesome. Are you bragging about mana? All you have to do is relax and leave it to the machine.”

“I don’t have time. Let’s do it quickly.”

“Is it because we haven’t drained Korea yet? Why are we in such a hurry?”

Rasputin stood on top of the excavator.

“Let’s take our time. Take your time. It’s not too late to go once the machine breaks through. Why did you set up a date in Beijing?”

“I have to finish it quickly and go to training. Unlike you, I have to compete in national competitions and win.”

“Oh my, the winner?”

“Unlike you, I only need to beat two people, right?”

“Those two people are Snow White and Gwangikkong?”

“Hmph. I will win.”

Cheonma continued to swing the shovel and dig up the dirt.

“Definitely.”

“Heung. Are you saying you can beat all the remaining S-classes? What if a guy like Tushin comes?”

“If it comes, it will come. Do you think the kids under Tushin will become me?”

“That was a few years ago.”

“Hmph. It doesn’t matter what S class you have. Because I will win. I am Cheonma.”

“Yes, yes. Well, whoever it is, I hope it’s a man.”

Rasputin spread his legs left and right and stroked the large, thick drill of the excavator.

“Mr. Yeryeong. If it’s a girl, I’ll give it to you. As for the man…I have it?”

“Sounds like a crazy villain. Then you get your pot broken by a goblin?”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Smirk.

“If you become the first person with superpowers to follow in the footsteps of goblins.”
