match. match. match.
Just as John was about to take over the conference room with his momentum, Tyrone clapped his hands lightly and stepped forward.
“···Well!”
Everyone’s spirits jumped at the strange sound contained in the applause.
‘Tsk.’
He shook his head and kicked his tongue when he saw Tyrone breaking John’s trick, which had been used to psychologically restrict everyone in the conference room by using the situation, tone, atmosphere, and momentum.
Looking at John like that, Tyrone smiled and opened his mouth.
“It’s a really good story. You could say he’s the paragon of a solver. I will remember your name clearly. John Doe.”
Tyrone, who drew everyone’s attention at once, spread his arms and made an exaggerated gesture.
“Now, it seems that the position of John, the dandy fixer over there, has been sorted out, and the position of our client, Organmaker, can also be said to be clear.”
Tyrone’s gaze turned to Igor and Ivan.
“Kuk!”
Igor’s mouth twisted at the piercing eyes, and Ivan’s hardened expression made it impossible to know what he was thinking.
“What are you going to do with that? A victim came from our side. I guess I should point out that part.”
At Tyrone’s words, the man who seemed to be in charge of the organ maker hardened his face.
It is said that it is a company to treat employees like consumables, but their employees anyway.
To put it a little harshly, it is tantamount to violating the company’s assets, so compensation for this must be obtained.
That’s Luna’s enterprise, and she will do anything to achieve it.
Igor and the members of the Pushkin mafia hardened their faces in an unusual atmosphere.
“Good is good, and here I want to end it with meekly handing over Ivan.”
Seeing Tyrone spinning around, Igor gritted his teeth.
“I can’t do that.”
“… Hoo?”
Tyrone’s eyes narrowed as he saw Igor baring his teeth at him.
Igor is also a living human without implants.
It was a strange feeling to see such a person baring his teeth against himself, a warrior who said that other types of abilities would also go one step ahead in a person-to-person battle.
“…It’s really worthy of being called a boss. I like the guts. But do you have the strength to display that guts?”
There are many people who make unreasonable claims in Luna, and there is a fairly high probability that those claims will work.
It’s unfair to the person who suffered, but what can you do?
Luna is a place where strength takes precedence over any other value, so Tyrone asks Igor.
Do you really have the power to refute my claim?
A fishy smile formed on Tyrone’s lips, and at the same time a bleak murder spread throughout the conference room.
“Kuk!”
Everyone’s complexion turned pale at the feeling of a black blade approaching their neck, and John’s face stiffened as well.
‘This is unmanned. I will never come close.’
In a situation far away, the momentum alone gives off this feeling, but what if you actually drew your sword and approached?
It was clear that his life would have been cut off the moment his body stiffened under the pressure of the force.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The gangsters, accustomed to violence and blood, reflexively aimed their weapons, and Tyrone, who had a vicious smile, tried to put his hand on the handle of the sword.
Poo!
Taking a step forward, Igor raised his hand and cut it down as if tearing up the space roughly.
“···what?”
“I didn’t even think of this.”
Igor’s arms were unnaturally swollen, and the tips of his fingers, which had become like beasts, had claws reminiscent of military daggers.
“Krrr.”
A beast’s cry came out of Igor’s mouth, and everyone could see Igor’s changed appearance in an instant.
A slightly long protruding lower tube and a mouth that was torn down to the bottom of the ears.
The white hair on the face and the pointed ears made it difficult to call it a human face, so everyone was shocked, but few were surprised by Igor’s appearance.
“Lycanthrope.”
“…the remnants of the Great War.”
Tyrone licked his lips as he watched Igor’s pale yellow eyes emanate madness.
***
There was a great war in the past.
A gigantic war involving advanced science and all sorts of superpowers affected the entire planet, and in the midst of it, countless lives died, leaving the land uninhabitable except for a few places.
It’s not that people like to live in huge cities like Luna.
War calls for technological development.
All kinds of taboos were violated in an urgent situation, and among the innumerable weapons that were created, there were biological weapons.
One of them is a lycanthrope.
With the legend of a werewolf as a motif, the beast soldiers, who were manipulated at the genetic level, were put into all kinds of local warfare, and their power was said to be enough to fight against quite a few high-ranking powers, so you can guess its power and completeness.
However, related technology was lost during the war, and some surviving lycanthrope degraded bloodlines were occasionally discovered and circulated like an urban legend.
***
jjik.
The clothes, which were apparently firmly finished, were torn on their own, and the body covered in fluffy hair rose up.
Igor’s body, which now has the face of a wolf, has grown to almost 3 meters, and his bizarre appearance is such that even the members of the same organization sneak back.
“The lineage preservation is pretty good.”
“It’s a decent money, isn’t it? I wish I could get a blood sample.”
However, the staff of Organ Maker looked at Igor with interesting eyes, and some did not hide their greed outright.
“Kuuuong!”
Igor roared, arms outstretched and chest wide, and the madness and ferocity within him shook the conference room.
“I understand that, so lower your voice.”
However, Tyrone, who received the death penalty in front of Igor, was very carefree.
All I did was poke my ears with my fingers and frown.
At the sight, Igor’s mouth parted open, revealing fang-like teeth, and his enormous body shrank.
Anyone could see that the wolf was about to attack its prey, and Tyrone bent down, grabbed the handle of the sword, and made eye contact.
“You are qualified.”
Kurak, who had been silent, opened his mouth, and the power in his gloomy voice penetrated the gap between the two cleverly confronting them and suppressed the tension.
An indescribable force overflowed, and Tyrone and Igor’s eyes sank.
Kurak, who was looking at the two through the robe that covered his face, nodded, and the man in charge of the organ maker opened his mouth.
“I will share the stake according to the research results. Let’s finish at this point.”
The man’s gaze turned to Ivan, whose face was hardened.
“It seems that stabilization is not far away, so it will be quite good.”
The man’s gaze at Ivan, his one-time partner, had changed to just looking at something interesting, and there was no one here who didn’t understand the meaning.
Igor, who had been spitting out wildness, hesitated, and one of the gang members who watched him carefully opened his mouth.
“boss.”
“···yes.”
A human voice came out of the wolf’s mouth, but no one pointed it out.
Igor lowered his arms with blade-like nails and took a step back, and Tyrone removed his hand from the handle of his sword.
“It should be a satisfactory line.”
“Don’t worry. We are small, but we are also a company.”
“···i get it.”
Despite Igor’s growl, the man responded calmly, and Igor also agreed.
It wasn’t the result Igor expected, but he didn’t lose money, and above all, he was able to get rid of Ivan, so he judged it to be a surplus business.
After confirming that the Pushkin Mafia was stepping back, the man turned his gaze to John.
“Mr. Doe.”
“yes.”
After confirming the man’s gaze, John pulled out a small box from his pocket and threw it at the man.
“Oops.”
Tyrone snatched the box that flew through the air, and the man who opened the handed box and checked the contents nodded.
“I used the facilities of the Neutral Hotel. There is also video data, so check it out.”
“Then you can trust me.”
The man looked relieved after checking the two white and red ampoules and the data storage device that were carefully kept in the box.
It can be said that Ekaterina also has a stake in Organ Maker.
Claiming a stake in a living person could be said to be inhumane beyond words, but since such a place is Luna, what can you say?
After an in-depth conversation with John, the extraordinary girl made a proposal to John, and John accepted the girl’s proposal.
In the subsequent negotiations with the organ maker, John was guaranteed the safety of Catherine by providing her bone marrow and blood samples, and the Neutral Hotel’s services, of course, also included medical-related services, eliminating any possible ambiguity. it is abandoned
“ruler! So is it over?”
Tyrone clapped and cheered everyone around, and everyone nodded.
John didn’t get what he wanted, but he signed a new contract to keep his client safe, and Organmaker got the research results he wanted.
The Pushkin Mafia led by Igor did not get as much money as expected, but it was a result that everyone was satisfied with because they were able to get rid of Ivan, who was like a thorn in their eyes, and a strong financial line.
“Good thing. Still, it’s better to finish without seeing blood.”
Everyone agreed with Tyrone’s words, which looked a little regretful.
No matter how violent and bloody Luna is, wouldn’t it be best to end it with words?
There, where everyone’s expressions softened and the tense atmosphere was relieved, only one person still had a hard face.
“ruler. then let’s go I will never see you again.”
Igor’s large hand, which had not yet been undone, pushed Ivan’s back, and Ivan, surrounded by men, stumbled forward.
Yes.
In this place where everyone is satisfied, only Ivan is not satisfied, and the future is full of darkness.
The staff of the organ maker who saw Ivan’s appearance licked their lips, and Tyrone, who saw him, clicked his tongue and turned his head.
It was at that time that John was also looking at Ivan with cold eyes.
“Where is Lina?”
Ivan, who looked at John with deeply sunken eyes that were difficult to express, opened his mouth, and John, who was watching him, opened his mouth small and whispered something.
And.
Seruk.
As if paint was being painted on white drawing paper, the space next to John seemed to shudder, and then Ekaterina, who was covering her body with an optical camouflage, appeared.
“Hoo.”
“…that’s the design child.”
Everyone who saw the white girl’s face did not hide their admiration, greed, and twisted desire, and flinched at the outright malice, but that was only for a moment.
Took.
John’s hand rested on the girl’s shoulder, and at that moment, energy seemed to well up in her eyes.
“Ivan.”
“Reena.”
The girl’s small mouth opened and a voice like a fairy whispered.
Everyone admired the girl’s voice, which seemed to permeate people’s hearts, and Ivan looked at her in awe.
“…In the meantime, you’ve grown up again.”
“Ivan.”
Ekaterina’s face was filled with an indescribable emotion, and Ivan murmured, fascinated.
“… you grew up really well.”
bang!
With a loud explosion, Ivan’s body shot towards Ekaterina like a bullet.
