“Where on earth did you move the Chairman?”

“Right now he needs the medical team’s treatment. But moving him suddenly without discussion!”

Retainers are full of worry and concern.

Didn’t the Emperor they believed and follow collapse.

The reason powerful empires in history collapsed was always the same.

Because the Emperor ruling them disappeared.

“I know well what you are concerned about. But Chairman, my father didn’t collapse due to illness.”

“Doctors also said they didn’t know the cause. But the Team Leader knows that?”

“Yes. Because modern medicine can absolutely not reveal the cause of the father collapsing.”

“What does that…”

Executives were bewildered not knowing what Jeong Se-yoon was saying.

“I know the majority of people here are members of Trinity. A religion worshipping the person who made the empire called Gwangwoon and is leading current humanity to the greatest race in history, precisely my father as God.”

“…”

“There I said such words. That the father is a person transcending human power. Furthermore that he is a person to rule the universe escaping this Earth.”

It meant literally a living God.

“You can see it as the process to achieve that great work now.”

“Do you mean the Chairman collapsing is a process?”

“Yes. A process of escaping the human body. A process to return with a new body that now all of us have no choice but to see with eyes directly and admit.”

“!?”

Executives’ buzzing became severe.

Returning with a new body.

What on earth does this mean.

“3 months. Just need to wait that time. After that you will be able to meet the father again. Although the appearance will be quite different from what you know then.”

“…”

It was work difficult to believe at all.

But the opponent is Jeong Jin-ho’s son, Jeong Se-yoon.

Didn’t seem like making up words to escape this situation.

“However, can’t disclose that sacred process to everyone. Please understand that point. And for 3 months in the future, executives here must lead the company safely. Also if there is a person curious about the father’s whereabouts, or creating articles making useless noise, hope you block public opinion being made well.”

At that word, executives looked at each other and soon nodded heads.

Seemed to have many things curious about, and many things to say, but the calculation was to wait 3 months Jeong Se-yoon put up for now.

“I wondered how you would silence the executives’ complaints, seems resolved well in its own way.”

After the disorganized meeting ended, Jeong Se-yoon returned to the lab with Anthony Watson.

“Because everyone shaking too much was seen in eyes.”

“Natural work. The method a giant empire collapses is not because of external forces. Always inside was the problem. Above all when the Emperor who built that empire dies, didn’t we learn through numerous histories that that empire also collapses together.”

Executives also have respective forces, and they also have ambition.

Loyalty toward Chairman Jeong Jin-ho is unchanging, but hearing the story he collapsed, if human, have no choice but to think other thoughts sufficiently.

“The Center Head’s help was big. Because you put in agents as per my request and brought the father here safely.”

“Am I not a person playing the role of dog of the Jeong family as always. Above all securing the Chairman’s safety is a part our Sentinel considers most importantly. But if there is a thing curious, 3 months, can you really keep that word?”

Jeong Se-yoon nailed down as 3 months.

If passing that period, all kinds of unsavory works will burst out starting from inside.

However if not another person but Jeong Se-yoon, if he set the period exactly as 3 months,

Wouldn’t it mean there is a corner he trusts?

“Honestly I also can’t be sure.”

“…Yes? Then does it mean might not be solved within 3 months?”

“Yes. It is what I drew a line in my own way. Should I say something like burning bridges that I will achieve inside that somehow.”

Anthony burst into vain laughter.

Talking with a very confident expression in front of executives so knew it would be really solved inside that.

By the way saying blood of his father can’t be deceived.

Does it say he has a gambler’s temperament like the father.

“Do you have confidence about success?”

“Well. It is true the project is at the completion stage to some extent, but originally have to do tests for a few years more. So can’t predict at all what side effect will occur. So success probability I think is half and half. But I trust the father more than my thought.”

“You trust the collapsed person?”

“Yes. Because the father knew the work would become like this in advance.”

“T, what does that mean? The Chairman knew in advance!”

“He has been preparing meanwhile. That all steps of him, that one step one step were all planned. So that a moment able to trust and entrust the body to his son can come.”

“…!?”

Anthony couldn’t understand at all.

Does it mean every moment Jeong Jin-ho walked until now was a cornerstone for today.

“So I trust the father’s judgment more than my judgment. If he looked ahead until here, means he trusts I will succeed.”

Of course, what looked ahead that would be intuition but.

Aren’t father and intuition one.

Father, intuition, and a body of eternal life.

Like that name called the Trinity religious group worshipping the father,

Now he will become the Trinity and rule the world.

***

“…..”

Is he unconscious today too.

Already 2 months’ time passed and the promised 3 months were approaching close.

But still the father was unconscious.

“Phew-.”

Jeong Se-yoon let out a sigh shortly.

Clearly the experiment was successful.

Changed the father’s body differently from before with surgery and drugs going through several days.

A body not dying, regenerating and healing by itself even if hit by dozens of bullets.

A body of eternal youth and immortality Qin Shi Huang dreamed of, all power holders dreamed of.

Going through trial and error through numerous test subjects Sentinel provided, finally completed that body.

“By the way consciousness doesn’t return.”

The father’s body returned to the days of early 20s, and muscle strength and reflexes are a level transcending human limit.

Also possessed stamina never getting tired forever and cells where aging doesn’t proceed.

But most importantly, the father’s consciousness wasn’t returning.

“What did I miss?”

Jeong Se-yoon tried to find a solution method mobilizing the understanding power he possessed, but no matter how much trying, it didn’t come out.

Clearly by calculation he had to wake up minimum one month ago.

But saying signs of waking up are not seen still.

It was the first time.

Feeling his ability looks useless and becoming powerless like this.

“No. It is early to give up yet.”

There is something missing.

Just not knowing what that is yet.

Therefore just need to find.

Because the father’s consciousness is still in that body.

Beep beep beep~!

It was when thinking so.

At the emergency sound ringing suddenly, Jeong Se-yoon was surprised and ran to the place the father was.

“….!”

The medical team already waiting ran in and was doing emergency measures.

Because the father’s heart stopped.

“Ah……”

Jeong Se-yoon lost strength in his legs and ended up sitting down.

Was I too arrogant.

If own power, if this high intelligence and understanding power, believed sufficiently able to present a body of eternal life to the father and make him rule the empire forever.

Because that was his role and mission he understood since young.

But the result was opposite.

The most trusted son ended up driving the father to death.

***

“Isn’t today the promised time? But seeing no words until before, the Chairman is still…”

“Tsk. Let’s be careful of words. Are you saying the Chairman went wrong or something now?”

“I also have ears for hearing. Hearing it, says there was a big problem in the Chairman’s safety recently. Team Leader Jeong Se-yoon was busy to hide that.”

To executives, 3 months felt only very long.

It was natural work for them to feel anxiety.

Made the giant empire called Gwangwoon, but actually a person to rule that is vacant. If Jeong Se-yoon didn’t put the deadline as 3 months, this degree of vacancy was fairly fatal work.

“At least because we blocked well, Gwangwoon is rolling fine. The problem is this also has a limit.”

“Correct. Already news that a problem occurred in the Chairman’s safety is spreading to presidents and prime ministers of each country gradually.”

Currently Earth is divided into many countries, but actually they are following one order.

That is precisely Jeong Jin-ho.

Were ruling countries following the New World Order the Emperor who completed the Gwangwoon Empire established.

Citizens don’t know well, but the world has been receiving rule by Gwangwoon since long ago.

“The problem is if a leader to rule them disappears, everyone is bound to think other thoughts. If the empire collapses, several dynasties are created, then naturally terrible war and blood follow.”

What they worry about was exactly that.

If the empire collapses, forces are divided, and war occurs between divided forces.

“So what is the word you want to say?”

“Saying need a new leader. Able to silence this confusion!”

“Surely not saying a roundabout way that you want to become the new leader?”

“Didn’t say necessarily with such meaning, but aren’t we executives the last hope of Gwangwoon? If deciding by waiting among us, there is nothing difficult.”

Then someone shouted getting angry.

“Nonsensical sound! That is treason!”

“Treason! Gwangwoon is also eventually a giant company, and a group. How is electing a Chairman anew treason!”

“Then do you have shares? The Chairman is holding most of the management shares, saying to ignore that and pick among us?”

“If it is an urgent situation like now, shouldn’t we take special measures? Even so are you thinking of setting up the young Team Leader Jeong Se-yoon as the next Chairman?”

If 3 months, they also endured much.

In a yard where the Emperor doesn’t even show shadow for 3 months, and even the rumor that an abnormality occurred in that Emperor’s safety is spreading, can they wait quietly and be calm.

“Everyone lacks faith.”

But at someone’s voice ringing then, executives’ heads turned to the entrance simultaneously.

Was none other than Sentinel Center Head, Anthony Watson.

“Center Head Anthony, you have no authority to attend the meeting here…”

“I also have absolutely no thought to share talk with boring you guys. Just came to want to convey this word.”

“W, what?”

“Since the Chairman will enter soon, everyone please stand up from seats and be polite.”

“…?”

Moment thinking what crazy sound that guy is saying.

“Everyone, long time no see.”

A familiar face entered inside the conference room.

“C, Chairman!”

Executives couldn’t suppress astonishment.

Because Chairman Jeong Jin-ho returned with a fine appearance.

“Did I vacate the seat too long? Sorry to cause anxiety.”

“…N, no. Chairman.”

“It is truly a relief you returned even like this.”

“Yes. I am also good seeing the faces of people here again.”

A soft and benevolent voice.

Must be Jeong Jin-ho.

But his face wasn’t.

Should I say a face close to early 20s, as if reversing time alone.

“Ah.”

Jeong Jin-ho also seeming to be conscious of such a gaze, swept down his chin and said.

“This had a complicated story. It is difficult for me to explain too.”

Executives looked at that face and Jeong Se-yoon behind him alternately.

This meant such a thing.

The word that the appearance would be quite different then if meeting Jeong Jin-ho again.

Really didn’t he return with a new appearance escaping the human body.

Going through that sacred process Jeong Se-yoon spoke of.

“Then shall we try talking about stories pushed meanwhile?”

At Jeong Jin-ho’s word, everyone swallowed dry saliva.

This is exactly the Return of the King.

No. God returned.
