Yuhan-wol and Lee Dan-ah return to their base.
The families who had been waiting for the two of them welcomed them warmly.
Yuhan-wol nods to Lee Dan-ah’s mother as well.
Yuhan-wol immediately turns his head, and a voice comes along.
“Good work.”
As Yuhan Wol’s gaze turned to that direction, there is a friendly face on the other side.
“Bert. You’re back. Good job.”
“It’s me, I’m coming by boat without a hitch. Hanwol, if you hadn’t boarded the plane quickly from India, it would have been a real disaster. At that time, I wanted to be in a little bit of a hurry, unlike usual. Did you too, have some kind of foresight like Dan-ah? “
Two people clenching fists.
Bertrand turned his gaze and continued.
“Dan-ah. Thanks to you, all the people in the base were safe. They said they almost died, but you worked hard.”
“I think it was a punishment for not going to the operation while being gimmicky.”
The two smiled brightly.
“Bert, I think you arrived earlier than expected?”
A voice heard as if in response to Yuhanwol’s words.
Zhou Chang answered as he walked over.
“We picked it up on our way home. Over the sea.”
Hanwi coming with him.
Yuhan-wol nodded his head once seeing the two of them.
“Woochang. Wei. You came first. Did the operation go well?”
“It’s close to Japan. We went on a boat. Thanks to you, we brought everything from here and just hit it. There’s nothing special about it.
“Good work.”
Yuhanwol looked back at Aiden and Cain.
Now is the time to start this operation.
* * *
A situation in which the US operation must start without delay.
Operations personnel took their seats and sat down for the meeting.
And Yuhan-wol looking back at them.
It was because a slightly strange atmosphere was sensed for some reason.
Perhaps feeling the same, Lee Dan-ah’s voice echoed in the room.
“What’s going on?”
“Um. I just got the breaking news.”
Aiden’s subdued voice.
The other personnel also have a slightly dark look.
In the past, we have seen breaking news that is beyond our imagination many times.
But, how serious is it that it is in this mood again?
Did the Chinese president or the Russian president even die?
Yang Gwang is also silent.
Yuhan-wol and Lee Dan-ah looking at Aiden.
Soon, he opened his mouth in a different, heavy tone than usual.
“An attempt was made to assassinate Bruce Hendrick.”
His words were unexpected.
Yuhan-wol and Lee Dan-ah looked at each other’s faces without realizing it.
“BH issued a statement condemning the terrorist group. There was a terrorist attack against Bruce Hendrick, and he barely survived. And soon, An-Nu sent a video. This was also what they did. Disarmament of nuclear weapons. Otherwise, things like this will continue to happen.”
“……”
Aiden’s words were added.
“Bruce… fortunately, he managed to save his life with an iron guard.”
“Then, how much were you injured?”
“More details have not been released,”
Yuhanwol looked at Aiden like that and thought.
‘I made a picture of myself being terrorized… .’
Bruce was attacked.
However, details were not disclosed.
Officially condemned An-Nu.
Yuhan Wol’s face hardened.
“Did the culprit… escaped from the suspect line?”
Aiden’s voice resounded heavily.
“I think so.”
After a while, his words follow.
“Well… there are quite a few people, like me and Cain, who will remember that President Liam and Bruce had a bad relationship back in the day. Then he could be put on a suspect. He’s the richest man in the world. Money is power. If it was Bruce, he would have doubted that he could get rid of the president like that. Besides, if a conspiracy theory spreads, more people will believe it straight away. Doesn’t it sound pretty plausible?”
Cain added.
“But at least I’m far from suspect because of this incident. There’s no other effective way. I’ve suffered as well. So I don’t have to be suspicious. Being among the victims. Is Bruce now the only survivor of An-Nu’s assassination attempt?”
Yuhan Wol quietly opened his mouth.
“I made my own play, but no one knows about it.”
A place of silence for a moment.
“What will happen next?”
As expected, Aiden answered Yang Gwang’s question, which came out in a different tone than usual.
“It will spark the wrath of not only Americans, but people of the world. Liam was just the president of the United States, but Bruce is different, isn’t he?”
In his words, the situation to come was pictured in everyone’s mind.
Bruce Hendrick is a benefactor and treasure to people around the world.
There will be global outrage.
In Yuhanwol’s mind, the Indonesian operation came to mind.
And other operations before that.
Until now, our BH overseas facilities would have troubled them.
The government overlooked it and caused a commotion that could not be ignored.
But will this ever be the case?
If BH now blames An-Nu’s terror for all those problems, it might be easy to get rid of it.
At that moment, Cain’s mouth suddenly opened.
“By the way….”
eyes focused on him.
Cain said slowly.
“Was that just the purpose of it?”
* * *
Two people sitting in a large conference room.
“There are traces of long ago that President Liam and Bruce Hendrick did not have a good relationship.”
FBI Director’s words.
“why?”
“The reason has not been revealed. I looked into it, but there was nothing specific. It just felt like a nerve war.”
The national intelligence officer was pensive for a moment.
he opened his mouth
“Didn’t President Liam mention BH once before he died?”
“Yes. It was a bit surprising.”
“Possibility?”
The FBI director takes a moment to talk.
The fact that he, the leader of the US intelligence agency, is so careful.
That’s because the meaning of the question is not that light.
“There are a lot of people who would like the death of President Liam, especially the American businessmen. He must have been happy to see his death as he tried to wield a sullen blade after a successful re-election.”
“So.”
“But Bruce isn’t that powerful, isn’t he? Besides, he doesn’t see any particular reason to assassinate President Liam. What’s the benefit of a man like that? It wasn’t serious. Also, wouldn’t it be that he wouldn’t have been able to touch it for a while? From Bruce’s point of view, it would have ended on its own if he didn’t respond and just stood still.”
That’s it.
It is very difficult for the president of the United States to attack him, who has the best reputation in the world.
Even if President Liam had high approval ratings.
In a democracy, the president is the seat of the people only.
It is impossible to attack Bruce without a clear cause in a position where approval ratings are always a concern.
“Hmm, so your opinion is unlikely?”
“I think so.”
The FBI Director nodded clearly, as if he was convinced as he spoke his words.
Knock Knock Knock
The head of state intelligence pounded on the table with his fingers, and was immersed in thought.
He opened his mouth to look at the chief.
“Still, I need to do an investigation…”
At that moment, the harsh movement of the man who opened the door and rushed in quickly interrupted his words.
The voice of the FBI director echoed on behalf of the national intelligence officer.
“What’s going on?”
“Chief Intelligence. Director. BH just made a statement! Bruce Hendrick was…terrorized.”
“To whom?”
“It seems to be the work of that terrorist group called An-Nu. Immediately after the BH’s statement, as if they were waiting there, they said that the terror was their own. Like last time, they said to dismantle nuclear weapons. See here.”
Related images are played on the screen of the conference room.
The two watched it for a while.
They soon turned to each other.
And the mouth of the national intelligence officer was opened.
“Chief. You were right.”
* * *
Operations team members were seated together.
And the voice coming through the speaker.
[Wig wire condition check completed. no problem.]
Bertrand sitting in the cockpit opened his mouth.
“Ready to depart.”
Then Cain’s heavy voice resounded.
[Open the Gate.]
Inside the WIG, the operation team members are looking ahead through the front glass.
Let’s focus on a certain movement that is immediately felt in a subtle way.
However, there is no significant change in the visible image.
Livi’s words rang after a while.
[Gate opening complete. Operation team, you may leave.]
“Wow! At first glance, it looks like it’s blocked. Cain, is it really that great?”
Zhu Chang’s exclamation expressed the feelings of the party.
Because what you see in front is still just a cliff face.
“depart.”
The Wig ship begins to move along with Bertrand’s horse.
Its large fuselage collides with the cliff face in front of it.
And soon the dark sea is revealed in front of the party.
The lights of ships floating on the sea in the distance are only visible occasionally.
People checking behind them.
There are no traces of gates on the cliff face.
[Raise the speed a little further.]
“Rager that.”
The surroundings pass slowly.
After a while, Bertrand spoke up.
“The Wig ship begins to fly.”
accelerating speed.
With him, the two waves that form over the sea.
[Wig line is operating normally.]
“Take off (injury, 浮上)!”
Something invisible, moving quickly, floated to the surface.
And only the wave, which quickly subsided, remembered what had just been there.
* * *
before departure.
It was Yuhan Wol, who had to leave for the United States right after returning to operation in Indonesia.
I didn’t have much time to spend with my parents.
After a brief greeting, he left, and his father followed.
“Have a good trip. Take special care of yourself.”
It was his father’s tone as usual.
However, Yuhan-wol, who suddenly felt something, turned his head and looked at Yuja-geon’s face again.
But my father is just a casual face.
‘If even my mother had been by my side, I would have been able to notice what was going on… .’
But it was the father who followed.
“Father, what are you doing?”
“What’s your job? Take care of your business.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. I’ll be back.”
“okay.”
The back view of the distant son.
Yu Ja-geon, who had been standing there for a while, spilled the words that he could not get out of his mouth.
[Somehow… I ask my family.]
Yu Ja-geon blamed himself inwardly.
If you bring out those words, your son’s head will be dizzy throughout the operation.
No, it probably won’t go down at all.
‘What am I… .’
This is all because my heart is heavy.
Yujagun turned his head and looked out the window.
The sea is already dark.
But for some reason, it was like seeing the bright sunlight reflected on the wide water surface.
Scenes that come to his mind.
The light that enveloped the inside of the car.
The splendor that covered the bodies of Heretic and Cain.
Yuja Gun thought.
Son will come back.
because it’s strong
and,
A nostalgic voice echoing in Yu Ja-geon’s mind.
[Come on, be patient.]
‘father… .’
It is not only the son who must come back alive.
today.
I also go to work.
