Did you eat something wrong?
“… … You believed that?”
“I was a bit skeptical, but in the end, they believed in me because there were things I had been making and it wasn’t that I didn’t have the basic technology. And what if you don’t believe me? There is no one other than me who can even try something like this, but if I say yes, then so be it.”
Yooseong seriously contemplated whether entrusting Sofia with Dragonia was the right choice or whether he should change his pay to something else even now.
However, what Dragonia needs right now is not simple repair, but remodeling.
I had no idea how much time and effort would be required if I tried to do it alone without Sophia’s help.
“So how are you going to get it?”
Sofia stared at the meteor with curious eyes.
Considering the size of the institution, it is difficult to move it from the basement right now to the outside.
He said he would take it himself, but he couldn’t help but wonder how he would take this huge organ.
“Well, we should put it in storage.”
“storage?”
Yuseong passed Sophia, who tilted her head, and put her hands on top of the engine.
And after a while, the dragon’s crest appeared on the back of the hand hidden by the glove, and the organ disappeared as if it melted into space.
“Wait, was there a subspace that the whole organ could fit in?”
“It’s roughly the same, not a subspace.”
It was just that the agency was sent to Dragonia using the power of the crest.
It was unreasonable to compare Dragonia, where you had to spend a considerable amount of time to focus your mind, and you could only send it, and you had to go and pick it up yourself to take it out, with a subspace where you could freely put in and take out anything you wanted.
“Identity is not important. Being able to put things in is important. Do you have any space left to store things?”
“Is there anything you want to bring? What?”
“Everything in here.”
Numerous machines filled in a large space reminiscent of a plaza.
Seeing the strange meteor’s gaze, Sofia said with a reddened face.
“It’s not stealing, it’s taking what’s mine. All of the machines here are either brought from another world as quest rewards or I made them myself. I had no choice but to throw it away because there was no way to take it, but if there is a way, of course I have to take it.”
“You can do it, but you know it’s not free, right? owed so much do not forget.”
“That’s natural. I will pay for it properly, so please take care of it as much as possible.”
“As much as possible?”
Yooseong laughed and raised the power of the sentence.
Considering the size of Dragonia, which approached a fairly small city, it could have swept everything in Area 51, not just the items inside.
It’s just that I don’t even try because I don’t have time to do that.
In fact, it was quite risky to pack the items in this basement, but as a meteor who witnessed Sophia’s temper, she had no choice.
There is no guarantee that you won’t end up in the same situation as Area 51 after leaving Dragonia repairs and remodeling as a ridiculous pun.
‘If I erase as much debt as possible, I won’t do anything stupid even if I’m aware.’
Yoosung smiled bitterly and reached out his hand toward the machine in front.

When Meteor is in the room, everyone is prohibited from approaching, even making phone calls.
On the surface, it was said that it was to make the most comfortable rest for the hero who was traveling all over the United States and performing operations, but in fact, he was just not touching it for fear of scratching it and making it a boil.
He is a man behind the scenes who brought down a major politician just because he protested the cancellation of a schedule.
Everyone reached a tacit agreement to just leave it alone, rather than giving room for criticism by touching it.
But surprisingly, at this moment, there was a brave man who broke that tacit agreement.
smart.
light knock.
In the midst of a dead silence, the man raised his hand to knock once more, and the closed door opened.
“Haaam, what is it?”
Yoosung’s face, yawning with his mouth torn, showed a hint of displeasure.
The man held out his ID card, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
“This is FBI Special Investigator Oliver.”
“Oh, should I say nice to meet you? What did the special investigator do to me… … .”
“It is difficult to say here. If you’re not rude, would it be all right if I go inside and talk?”
“… … You see.”
Oliver let out a sigh of relief and went inside the trailer.
The opponent is one of the less than 10 heroes in the world and a celebrity who is currently receiving the most attention in the world.
It would have been difficult if he had refused to say no or asked about the situation, but the first hurdle had been passed.
“What are you here for?”
“Please don’t misunderstand and listen. Last night the nearby Groom Lake Air Force Base, otherwise known as Area 51, was attacked by a mysterious entity.”
“Area 51! That’s where the aliens are researched, right? It looks like aliens have come to rescue our comrades.”
“… … .”
“Hmmmm, so why did you come to see me when Area 51 was attacked?”
“I came because I wanted to ask you something about the being that attacked Area 51. Could you please look at this?”
When Oliver held out the tablet and took a step back, Yoosung played the video calmly, pretending not to notice anything.
The tablet contained the events of the previous night at Area 51.
A video of about 10 minutes, starting with a scene in which an unknown being wearing a skull mask appears and attacks soldiers, opens a closed gate, defeats researchers, and goes inside.
If there is one peculiarity, the existence of the equipment inside the laboratory was hidden, and the guns and exoskeleton suits held by the researchers were blurred so that they could not be recognized properly.
When the video ended, Yoosung gave up his playful attitude and spoke in a serious voice.
“Incredible. To open a gate that seems to be at least dozens of tons by force. I don’t know who it is, but in terms of strength, it’s almost on par with me.”
“… … .”
“So what is your intention in showing this to me?”
Seeing the sharp meteor in his eyes, Oliver kept his composure as much as possible and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
“I have come to ask for your cooperation in capturing this mysterious person. As you can see, this character has powers that rival those of a hero, making him unmatchable for contractors or armies. Without Mr. Han’s help… … .”
“I’m sorry, but you know I’m going back to Korea soon, right? I just wanted you to come to a country on the other side of the world and catch monsters that are difficult to defeat.
“… … Sorry for asking too much.”
Oliver didn’t ask for more, but rather bowed and walked out of the trailer.
Looking out the window at Oliver, who was making a troubled expression surrounded by reporters and paparazzi, Yooseong stepped back and smiled faintly.
‘It looks like he was trying to get a reaction, but it’s not possible.’
If a person comes the day after the incident and presents a video containing the video of the crime, ordinary people have no choice but to react in some way.
However, this was not the case for Yooseong, who had accumulated experience in coping with various and urgent situations through quests.
Even if Oliver held out a video of him and Sofia having a conversation, Yoosung would have the confidence to say, ‘Isn’t it synthetic?’
‘Seeing that he came in less than a day, it seems that he is somewhat suspicious, but let’s see. My alibi is solid, there’s no solid evidence linking me to the culprit, and I have no motive for raiding Area 51. If you can pinpoint me as the culprit, it’s not a reasoning, it’s a gift.’
If there is at least one suspicious factor, it is that the culprit’s physique and muscular strength beyond common sense are similar to his own.
As it was a super-large case in which the most important facilities were attacked and irreplaceable scientists and cutting-edge facilities disappeared, it could have happened enough to be regarded as a suspect and arrested with only these two facts, but that is possible only when the other person is a normal person.
It was too risky to tamper with one of the world’s most famous heroes at all, at best, if there was any tangible evidence, such as fingerprints, faces, voices, or bloodstains.
Of course, as the U.S. government might use some extreme method to find Sophia and what might happen in the process, what he had to do from now on was decided.
‘While the decision makers are in chaos, finish the work as quickly as possible and leave the United States.’
According to the original plan, he should have stayed in the US for at least a few months.
However, the operation that would take at least a few days, such as grabbing and leaving the target, took place in a few hours, and on days when the operation area was close or physical strength was low, after continuing the forced march to and from two or three cities a day, it was less than a month after arriving in the United States. was able to complete the operation of
There are four operations left.
Yuseong, who jumped open the trailer door, shouted out loud to the people who were paying attention to him.
“Let’s finish it all within today!”

-Guests, this flight is scheduled to land at Incheon International Airport shortly. Please turn off your electronic devices and make sure you fasten your seat belt. thank you
Meteor, who had been looking down at the huge buildings and numerous cars emitting colorful light under the dark night sky, stretched out and stood up as the plane landed at the airport.
Even though I fell asleep as soon as I boarded the plane, I couldn’t help it.
After razing a military base overnight and eliminating monsters spread across four cities, it is rather strange that he is fine since he showed his face appropriately at a dinner party attended by figures and celebrities from the political and business world and boarded a plane heading to Korea.
“I should have taken a day off and left.”
Yoosung, who was worried, shook his head.
The interest people showed in her at the dinner table made her aware that it would be difficult to return to Korea if she delayed a little longer.
Politicians openly revealed their intention to make the few heroes in the world into their own people, soldiers asked if they could hunt additional monsters in addition to what was previously agreed upon, and entrepreneurs suggested that they collaborate with their companies or shoot advertisements. I ran frantically.
‘It’s not a bad choice to stay in America if you want to gain wealth and fame… … .’
The problem was that wealth and prestige were not what was needed in the world today, unless it was a peaceful time when monsters did not exist.
If you stay in the United States, you may gain unimaginable wealth and fame, but you won’t have time to do quests because you’re too busy fending off monsters that appear all over the vast land.
On the other hand, in Korea, the land is small and there are many people, so it is possible to defend enough with contractors and troops, and even if a hero is needed, he can move quickly, so he can get enough time to complete the quest.
As a user who is still in the middle of growing up, if I had to choose between the two, I had no choice but to choose Korea.
“Let’s rest for a while. I don’t know anything else, while resting… … .”
pop! pop! pop!
The moment I went out of the arrivals hall to find my luggage, numerous flashes were pouring in.
Reporters lined up on both sides and people holding pickets and cheering.
Kang Chang-seok, who was approaching with a smile while holding a large bouquet of flowers, caught Yoo-seong’s eyes as he raised his arms to reciprocate the cheers.
“A proud Korean hero. We sincerely welcome Han Yu-seong’s safe return.”
“… … Did you eat something wrong?”
Kang Chang-seok’s expression instantly rotted away.
