“President. Is [the] body okay?”

“Yes. Okay as [I] rested fully. Although confined here.”

“Haha. Isn’t there no person who doesn’t know [the] Chairman’s love for [the] President.

Probably [he] knows if [the] President leaves here, [he] will overwork again.”

Is it because he saw me losing consciousness and collapsing from overwork in front of [his] eyes, unfortunately.

Hyung-nim put me into [a] VIP ward.

Plus, even granted [a] one-month vacation forcibly.

“Isn’t this [the] Chairman’s tyranny? Gapjil? Such thing?”

“Ahem. Better to complain about that directly to [the] Chairman…”

I also said [it] as [a] joke.

If Hyung-nim collapsed in front of my eyes, I would have done more than this,

don’t think [I] would have done less.

“[I] wish medical technology develops quickly. Like [a] medicine eliminating overwork is developed,

or making [the] body younger and healthier.”

“Haha. [A] dream technology.”

“So how [did] things go while I was absent? Because Hyung-nim blocked even receiving reports.”

Only at 3 days, [I] became able to receive at least reports.

“After [the] President was carried away like that, [it] was noisy. Still, nothing gave setback to [the] work.

Fortunately, because [the] President put all assets into [the] stock market before that.”

I examined [the] report [the] Manager handed carefully.

Among them, [the] most conspicuous thing was this.

“50 Quadrillion…”

“Yes. [A] number making no sense. Honestly, even looking now, it makes [me] think if it isn’t [a] computer error.”

Same for me too.

Actually, [I] was estimating to some extent.

[ I] thought at least [it] would be 20 Quadrillion, but 50 Quadrillion.

[It] was [a] ruinous number jumping over my expectation greatly.

Meanwhile, [our] goal was our securities firm having assets exceeding [a] large fund company,

but [it] passed their maximum value, 100 Quadrillion, ridiculously.

“Timing is truly exquisite. As soon as [the] President collapsed, various stock markets closed simultaneously.

Seemed [the] market entered [the] stability zone, overheating again, so [they] used [a] move to prevent that.”

“[They] probably had [a] purpose to check us too, right?”

“Yes. Also, at that side, [they] probably couldn’t know exactly how much we earned.

However, [they] knew we earned as much putting in astronomical money.

So [it] would be correct that they closed before we sell all those assets, shaking [the] market.”

Was that why my intuition snapped off then.

At first, [I] thought [the] ability stopped due to overwork.

But as main stock markets closed and my intuition stopped working,

seemed [the] awakened state was released and [I] collapsed.

“By the way, [you] seem [to] have to be careful a bit next time.

According to [the] doctor, if you overworked more here, it would have been really dangerous.”

Should [I] see in a way [the] stock markets checking our Gwangwoon saved my life?

Anyway, [I] seemed [to have] enjoyed really [a] fun [time] in [the] festival day only once in [my] lifetime.

[ I] saved [the] crumbling world stock market along too.

“How is public opinion?”

“Very good. Praising full that [the] President saved [the] world stock market really as said, coming on media.

Of course, it is true our Gwangwoon saw enormous profit in that process,

but didn’t seem viewing negatively, because without us, civilization collapsing was [a] matter of time.”

[It] means such reward is appropriate as [he] showed such courage?

We inputted money saying we will save [the] world stock market,

but actually thought public opinion would be bad if saying we earned money enormously.

“Although we earned money enormously much, [the] important thing is currently anything

we didn’t make into cash. All money is in [the] stock market,

and public opinion has no choice but to be good because not withdrawing that.”

Of course, during that process, we repeated buying and selling thousands of times.

But isn’t [it] modern society viewing result important eventually rather than process.

[We] might have avoided [the] arrow of criticism because we are leaving assets reaching 50 Quadrillion still all in stocks without making into cash.

“……”

If my intuition didn’t snap off then,

would I have tried to make all that into cash then?

“Oh right. And, President. Several companies came out as [an] item for sale currently.

Places once called dinosaur enterprises are included, among them Tisla is mixed too.

Didn’t we invest much money on [the] World Link side.

But this time [the] value plunged too much, so eventually Mylon Tusk applied for bankruptcy

and put out all assets for sale.”

“Tisla?”

I ruminated [my] memory for a moment.

I didn’t put even [a] penny into Tisla?

“At this investment, [I] didn’t put even [a] single 1 dollar into Tisla side.”

“Yes.”

That means my intuition turned away from Tisla coldly.

Don’t know why [it] did so, but Mylon Tusk’s

grand dream going to Mars looked like collapsing like this.

“[He] put out all shares about Tisla and all companies Mylon Tusk possesses individually.

Probably [he] thought there is no way to endure anymore.”

“Then competitors will stick enormously?”

“That is not so again. Isn’t [the] goal these companies have going to Mars?

Company strategy is established matching only there.

[The] title burdensome, everyone seems reluctant to acquire.”

Electric vehicle, android, rocket technology, underground excavator etc.

Mylon Tusk possesses very various companies.

And [the] goal of those companies is only one.

Mars terraforming.

“So banks currently hope Gwangwoon acquires these companies.”

“In line handling [the] debt too?”

“Regarding [the] debt write-off, [we] probably have to negotiate. [We] have to rip off from Mylon Tusk as much

as [we] can rip off. Mylon Tusk also agreed to this, they say.

[He] said [he] will put out everything he has, so [he] begged to let him participate in company management.”

“Yes.”

Solving [the] debt Mylon Tusk made easily through these companies, honestly,

was not [a] burdensome thing to our Gwangwoon.

Because [we are the] company having most money in [the] world already.

But letting [him] participate in management…

I closed [my] eyes for a moment.

“…!”

At that moment, intuition gave me [a] signal.

Fortunately, my intuition was still alive.

[ I] did worry briefly if [the] intuition ability disappeared through overwork.

“First, tell [him] to withdraw all from SNS. So [he] can concentrate solely on management.

And can [you] show me [the] affiliate list?”

Looking at [the] list, there were many companies this gentleman dipped feet in than thought.

“Companies known externally are 10, currently cut investment,

or entered early development are 10.”

Among them, some were twinkling bright light meanwhile.

There were things not so.

Seemed okay to filter appropriately among these and save only things to save.

But among this list, one company came into [my] eyes conspicuously.

“AI Link?”

“Ah. Technology connecting brain and computer. Going through

testing process to patients with language disability. [The] core of this technology is achieving complete union with human, introducing AI technology.”

“That is somewhat… scary though.”

“Yes. [They] said if commercialized, [it] can treat really many disabilities.

[They] said [they] developed quite much than thought.”

Binding AI and human as one.

Somewhat goosebumping, but on one hand was absolutely necessary technology too.

Above all, because [it] could become [the] best method capable of eliminating [the] thing called disability

that tormented our humans meanwhile.

Actually, Mylon Tusk even showed how far this technology developed through SNS.

Interviewing people receiving help with this technology too.

And if this technology develops, [we] could develop [the] biological chip we are currently planning further.

Then without need for us to go to [the] hospital, find out what disease [we] caught, and rapid measure will be possible.

Above all, currently my intuition was spouting brightest light to this technology.

“Please acquire as I checked, and especially tell [them] [we] will invest much money to AI Link. Tell [them] to use as much as needed.”

“Yes, President.”

Isn’t it overcoming disability, which is humanity’s biggest barrier.

Only if [we] can conquer this, [it] was okay to bring and use money how much ever.

“…”

Anthony’s pupils seemed to contain complicated feelings all.

“As I worked in [the] intelligence agency, experiencing various things, [I] imagined very much

what kind of person I would become later. But never imagined such thing even once.”

“That probably same for everyone in Sentinel. Center Head.”

[The] nuclear bag capable of causing end to [the] whole world.

[The] bag capable of issuing launch order to nuclear submarines going around world places as well as nuclear in whole China.

Of course, [one] cannot issue order with just this one alone, but…

[The] influence was enormous just by having one among 3.

“Is it certain Heavenly River has 1?”

“Yes. As we investigated closely, [it is] clear Heavenly River possesses [one].

Seems [they] took what Li Jinping side had while removing that side.”

“Then [the] remaining one?”

“[The] whereabouts of that is still vague.”

Eventually, that one was [the] problem.

[We] must find [the] last one so [we] can organize this dizzy China situation to some extent.

But couldn’t find where that last piece is at all.

“Yang Wei?”

“[We] sent [him] well. Gave money enough too, made [him] cross to [the] US,

and made [a] safe house too. Should [we] implement removal?”

“No. Should [we] show [an] appearance living well very much. Only then people will have

more trust in our Gwangwoon and cooperate.”

This nuclear bag was [the] start now.

Because [we] have to solve [the] Russia problem as well as China.

“Keep [the] contact network wide open to [the] Russia side too. Must show [a] gesture

that we can do peaceful cooperation anytime.”

Anthony touched [the] nuclear bag carefully.

Although [we] won’t use this forever.

Fact that [a] power capable of leading [the] whole world to rupture entered Gwangwoon finally,

also that he brought one among them, was causing indescribable emotion.

***

“So… How did it go? Found [a] place to acquire our companies?”

“As you know, everyone was looking at Gwangwoon’s eyes, so [they] say no one jumped into acquisition negotiation.

But fortunately…”

“Fortunately?”

“[They] say Gwangwoon accepted all [the] banks’ conditions.

Also allow [him] to continue participating in management as [the] Chairman wanted.”

Mylon Tusk lost strength in two legs involuntarily.

Didn’t he tremble in anxiety, unable to sleep due to this problem for several days.

But fortunately, Gwangwoon didn’t abandon Mylon Tusk.

“Instead, not saving all affiliates. Plus, [the] Chairman is pushed to [a] director position,

and after withdrawing all accounts in SNS, [they] say [he] absolutely shouldn’t expose [his] face to [the] media in [the] future.”

“…Right. Must endure.”

[It] means concentrate solely on company work.

Don’t drag aggro going out to [the] media anymore.

That meant Gwangwoon would acknowledge [his] ability at least.

“But which affiliate saving, and which killing?”

“This is that list.”

“…”

During checking [the] list [the] secretary handed,

Mylon Tusk stopped [his] gaze at one among them.

“Wait. What is this investment amount? Putting tens of billions of dollars here?”

“Yes. [The] start is tens of billions of dollars, [they] said [they] will support additionally if needed.”

Gwangwoon declared tens of billions of dollars investment to AI Link.

But this company is [an] unlisted company.

Meaning not [an] intention to raise [the] stock price, but really invest seeing this company’s technology.

“Other industries? Like rocket or android.”

“That just appropriated ordinary amount, and put much money only to AI Link.”

Only then Mylon Tusk burst into hollow laughter.

[He] realized why Gwangwoon dragged [the] company to [the] brink of rupture aiming at him.

“Was because of this company.”

“Yes?”

“See here wrote [the] excuse overcoming disability,

but would Gwangwoon appropriate tens of billions of dollars really having interest in conquering disability?”

Gwangwoon is not such [a] place with compassion and deep heart. This is just [a] good-looking pretext.

“What is overcoming disability. Isn’t [it] simply [a] person unable to walk walking,

[ a] person unable to hear hearing? Treating [the] fundamental disability all humans are undergoing.”

“Fundamental disability?”

“Right. Exactly death, death is indeed human’s biggest flaw and unavoidable disability.

Gwangwoon is trying to conquer that now.”

Mylon Tusk didn’t reveal will to overcome human death openly making AI Link.

Just expressed will to overcome disability combining human and computer and develop technology.

However, Gwangwoon knew this company’s purpose from start.

That [it] can overcome even human’s death if this technology develops further.

“If AI and human consciousness connect, we can change our aged body artificially.

If changing parts in [the] right time, human can live forever without dying.

Actually, we already pulled up this technology to some degree.”

Currently, AI Link’s technology grew enough [that] other companies dare not follow.

Although not announcing as unofficial yet, Gwangwoon knew this company’s technology power

is world best.

“So [he] tormented me. To make [me] spit out this company somehow,

because taking already developed one is easier than they spending money and time to develop.”

Just was dumbfounded.

If [he] wanted this technology that much, [it] would have been better to say [he] will invest at least.

Before having conversation, just breaking physically and taking forcibly.

“Then… Meaning Gwangwoon intends to make technology enabling eternal life with this company?”

“[The] ultimate goal would be exactly that. But not [a] technology fair to everyone.

Because only people Gwangwoon selected can have eternal life.”

Of course, don’t know when that technology will be developed.

One certain thing is, if Gwangwoon continues pouring astronomical money like now,

[the] point is it will be developed someday.

“Isn’t it Gwangwoon already occupied [the] whole world financial market and political circle? This is [the] last stage.”

Living eternal life, dominating everyone.

Gwangwoon, no, Jeong Jin-ho was trying to become [a] real god now.
