Beep. Beep.
A warning sound of urgency sounded, and Rupert, frowning from behind the protective clothing, moved on.
The intercom attached to one side of the wall was continuously spewing out ominous sounds, and the eyes of the researchers around it were shaking and making anxious faces.
The researchers’ expressions brightened a little when they saw Rupert appearing with his shoulders straight and confidently walking.
“What is going on?”
It was a voice without any trepidation, but Rupert’s intentions were not.
The fact that the interphone rang to call only in emergencies meant that things outside were not going so well.
– Yes, boss.
“I am listening.
– Big, big deal.

My heart sank at the trembling voice, but Rupert, who kept his expression as straight as possible, waved his hand toward the surroundings.
The personnel gathered here can be said to be the best of Hindel Bionic.
The best researchers were put in to stabilize the mother body and control it as desired, but I didn’t want them to be affected by external circumstances.
It was a human thing, so I couldn’t help but think of fraud.
Hindel’s expression hardened as he glanced at the researchers who were scattered and headed towards their seats at Rupert’s gesture.
“say.”
– Bo, head office!
“……Tell me!”
Rupert’s voice mixed with a growl seemed to have calmed down a little, but the voice over the receiver continued.
– Headquarters are under attack!
“······It will go up soon.”
Rupert’s lips were crushed in a situation worse than he had imagined, but he put the receiver down and turned around.
‘······· Calm down. There is still a chance.’
Dung, Dung, Dung.
Rupert’s gaze turned to the mother body, which was vibrating violently unlike before.
The energy of life began to be felt again from the cocoons that had lost their life response and were dying, and the joyous emotions of the mother body spread throughout the cave.
“Oooh!”
The image of Dane smiling brightly with her arms raised and the original rescuers busily examining and recording the reaction felt by the mother.
Painful memories came to mind.
It wasn’t such a large-scale facility, and the number of people was much smaller, but Rupert had felt this scene and atmosphere.
Before learning martial arts in earnest, he held the hand of his grandfather, the first founder, Hindel, and went to the research institute of Hindel Bionic, which was so small that it could not be called a company yet.
The passionate researchers moved dynamically, and what Rupert saw that day was the beginning of the full-fledged Hindel bionic.
– People are property.
The first Hindel said the same, and the second Hindel said so.
Rupert didn’t forget that word, so even though the business failed, he didn’t cut the staff.
And because his decision was right, isn’t he burning the scent of success like this?
Then what he will do is decided.
It’s not that difficult, and you’ll be able to do much better than management.
“Dane.”
“Yeah! boss!”
For a moment, he frowned at the sight of Dane wriggling all over his body, probably full of emotion.
“How is the mother’s condition?”
“······Inspiring! Mother’s strength has risen greatly! It feels like I have filled in what was lacking!”
The sight of Dane grinning brightly and talking gibberish with blade-like teeth exposed through a mouth that had been torn down to the bottom of his ears made him feel a visceral sense of rejection, but Rupert didn’t care at all.
“Keep an eye on it and spur production. Maybe we need to put in quickly.”
A bleak light appeared in Dane’s eyes at the solemn voice.
“…the new brothers will not hesitate.”
Rupert, furrowing his brow involuntarily at the feeling of a beast growling, turned around.
“It should be avoided as much as possible.”
The momentum of the climax was fully bloomed, and Dane took a step back from the intense pressure.
Although he obtained power far beyond that of the human species, it was not to the extent that he could ignore the possibility of humans striving to overcome their limitations.
“I will contact you.”
“Yes! boss!”
Dane’s eyes glistened with a dangerous light as he watched Rupert’s back as he strode toward the door.

“Storage #4 has been looted!”
“The dealerships are being raided!”
“What is the PMC doing!”
The office, which had been like a mayhem, hadn’t changed much.
The office, which is still confused and full of madness and embarrassment, is moving more urgently and is struggling to somehow protect the company called Hindel Bionic.
At this point, it is likely that some people will slowly withdraw from their bodies, but everyone gritted their teeth and did their best to somehow overcome the situation.
It was a ship that was already sinking, but if you overcome this situation, you will somehow make ends meet, and no company wants losers.
Above all, Hindel Bionic’s welfare was pretty good.
Rupert could never be called a good manager, but he could be called a good one.
The accumulated time gave strength to the employees and became the driving force to persevere somehow.
Cuckoo!
“Ouch!”
“…haven’t the mercenaries arrived yet?”
“What is the security team doing!”
The building vibrated and shook with a loud explosion.
It was a small vibration that wasn’t even worth paying attention to, but the very fact that it occurred made everyone panic.
It is the headquarters building of a mid-sized company called Hindel Bionic, and of course it was not made in vain.
A moderate earthquake was easily ignored, and even if it was hit directly by a missile, it was sturdy enough to defend with minimal damage.
It meant that the company was actually in danger, beyond the company’s crisis, and the faces of the employees who were working like fighters turned pale.
And then.
“Nothing to tremble.”
A powerful and dignified voice pierced everyone’s ears, and all eyes were drawn to them.
Everyone in the office seemed to be overwhelmed at the sight of Rupert, who was dressed in a suit and neatly combed his hair with a confident build.
The relaxed expression and intense momentum of the climax instantly took control of the atmosphere, and the pale face began to glow.
“R&D is paying off.”
It was a word that cut off both front and back, but the employees clenched their fists in unison.
Hindel Bionic is a company led by researchers.
There was no one who did not know the meaning of research producing results.
“It takes a little time and a crisis has come, but it’s not a big deal.”
Everyone stared at Rupert as if he was possessed as he raised his fist with a radiant glow in his eyes.
“Financial Director.”
“Yes! boss!”
The disheveled finance director approached, and Rupert, who narrowed his eyes for a moment, reached out and tidied up his tie.
“What is the situation?”
“Barely stabilized!”
The warehouse was looted, the dealership was raided, and funds bet on the collapse of Hindel Bionic poured in, but the power of Hindel Bionic to defend with slush funds was beyond the imagination of the general public, and the atmosphere was about to change.
“great.”
“thank you!”
The director of finance, who swept his hair, bowed squarely, a look of relief on everyone’s faces, but both Rupert and the director of finance knew that this situation would not last long.
A temporary lull anyway.
If there was no decisive opportunity, the fall would start again, and it was clear that it would be the end of Hindel Bionic.
“We haven’t lost yet.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up at the voice filled with beliefs like religion.
“Hold on a little longer.”
“Yes! boss!”
With a strong shout, the office started to move busily again, and Rupert, who looked at it for a moment, turned his steps.
After that, he opened his mouth with a firm will to the finance director who followed him.
“Activate emergency protocol. fortifications.”
“Yes!”
Hearing the short but determined voice, Rupert continued.
“Gather all troops to the entrance. I will strike the enemy.”
“・・・・・Please vouch for it.”
Rupert smiled at the worried voice.
“Don’t worry.”
back.
Ordinary people rushed into clenched fists with unimaginable power.
“I am not weak.”
“I believe.”
Sensing the presence of the finance director, who was moving away with his words, Rupert opened the communication device.

My finger crossed the hologram, and the address book moved quickly until it stopped at a single number.
The fingers that were going to dial the number stopped.
The person he is trying to contact now is the most difficult and reverent person in the world.
I was qualified to receive help once, but doubts about whether it was reasonable to use that help at this moment filled my head.
There was also a short agony for a while.
Rupert, who soon hardened his expression, touched the hologram.
‘It’s not a situation where I can afford to spare.’
Hindel Bionic, raised by his grandfather and raised by his father.
It was everything Rupert was, and losing this company would make everyone with the surname Hindel worthless.
beep. beep. beep.
The call rang, and Rupert’s heart pounded loudly.
It was a short moment, but all sorts of thoughts were swirling in my heart, and it seemed that the time that seemed like eternity would continue.
– Tell me.
A low voice echoed through the communication device, and Rupert involuntarily took a deep breath.
“Nosa.”
– You’re a kid. yeah what’s going on
The languid voice seemed to be far from the world, and in fact, the owner of the voice was quietly secluded in his own place, so the meaning was not different.
Rupert, who gritted his teeth and raised an aura to stabilize his mind and body, opened his mouth.
“I want to fulfill the promise of my ancestors.”
– ······Ho?
The languid voice sparked a bit of interest, and that alone distracted Rupert.
A human who exerts his influence not just in front of his eyes, but just over the radio waves and far away.
No, the voice of an opponent who could hardly be called a human rang through the communication device.
– I heard that it is difficult, but is it that much? Do you know what this means?
Rupert gritted his teeth at the lively voice.
“I am fully aware of this, master. Please fulfill your obligations according to the promise of your ancestors.”
There was a moment of silence beyond the device at the determined voice.
– ······You’ve grown a lot. greenhorn. Now I can’t even call him a kid. yes. Hindel.
Rupert’s heart filled with excitement at the voice recognizing himself.
– With this, the oath is completed and the relationship with Hindel comes to an end. are you aware of it?
“I’ve been thinking about it.”
The person on the other side of the device laughed softly at the determined voice.
– That’s right. will you be listening this is the right move
It was like talking to someone nearby, and at that moment, another voice interrupted the communication between the two.
– Admit it.
The sudden situation gave goosebumps, but Hindel desperately endured it.
Eavesdropping was absolutely illegal in Luna, so they used a special line that paid attention to security, but the person with the voice was always monitored to the extent that he casually intervened in such a line.
– great. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out. yes Hindel. What do you want?
Saying he would do anything in the world felt like a bluff, but Rupert didn’t doubt his opponent.
Rupert’s mind began to run complicatedly.
In my heart, I wanted to have Organ Maker erased from this world, but it was clear that such a form of request would not be accepted, and those who monitored labor and management would not tolerate it.
It took me a while to organize my thoughts like that.
Rupert’s mouth opened.
“We want to obliterate all enemies targeting our headquarters.”
– That sounds like fun.
A voice filled with joy rang out.
– Let’s go soon.
Rupert’s eyes closed tightly.
