Life Mission Chapter 34:
Life Mission
Volume 2 Chapter 34
Chullung .
Wine sloshed back and forth in a luxurious crystal glass . The man holding the glass was middle-aged and full of grace .
“Father . Field of Meat disappeared from the mission list . ”
“I heard . ”
Duke Venter’s voice is monotonous . It disappeared on the list . This meant the mission had been completed . But Carlyle has not returned .
“Our sister or I needed to go with him . ”
“Do you think it is right to keep following him around and doing everything for him?”
“He was not strong enough . ”
“He wasn’t . That’s why we needed to make him stronger . Even if by force . ”
A tiger cub is a tiger . But even a cat is excessive for Carlyle . Duke Venter tried to raise him as a tiger, but this is what had happened .
“Leave . ”
“Okay . ”
As Brayburke left the office, a voice sounded,
“Sorry dear . We lost our youngest . ”
When he heard this, Brayburke clenched his fist and closed the door . Even a top authority of England is just a father .
“Brother . ”
“Isabel . ”
A beautiful blonde woman in her mid-20s was waiting for Brayburke outside the office . She is the only daughter among 3 children .
“An idiot went like an idiot . ”
“Yeah . ”
Carlyle was a brother with a lot of shortcomings . He always got into trouble and there was not a part of him they likes, but that did not change the fact that he is the youngest of the 3 siblings .
“What do you think the problem was?”
“I don’t know .
“There are a lot of variables . There’s no way to pinpoint one as the culprit . ”
The mission was completed, but Carlyle and the Special Forces members were unable to return . Since the result was decided, the affairs is now what is important – how he died .
“Was he killed by a mutant, or by an outside force?”
“If it’s the latter?”
“Revenge I guess . ”
They had been unable to keep their mother’s last will to protect their youngest brother . Just by making them go against this will, the culprit deserves to die .
Carlyle had told them – 3 Americans, 1 Japanese, and 2 Koreans . If they even found one person, they could figure out what the situation was . One of those people could also be the culprit .
“I’m ready to go . Are you going to go?”
“I’m going . ”
Brayburke took various kinds of weapons from his space compression bag and equipped his body . There were a lot like a sword, spear, dagger, and hatchet .
He and Isabel armed themselves and went out into the garden of the mansion . 8 Special Forces members were standing in a line, waiting for them .
“We’re going in . ”
“Attention!”
[Approved . You are being transferred to Bone Mountain, Level E advance mission . Mission start . ]
Brayburke, Isabel, and the 8 Special Forces members entered the mission .
Brayburke Venter .
In reality, he is second to Duke Venter, but he is one of the 36 rankers and England’s weapon master .
[Over 10,000 official figures of Korea are missing . It is said that only those revealed to be missing around the world reaches 400,000 . ]
Cha Jun Sung sat on a bench downtown and watched the news televised on a large sign . They are all victims of Life Mission .
Nearby, hundreds of other people watched the news and whispered . With time, Life Mission’s existence is becoming known .
“Has the stupid Korean government still not been able to figure out what Life Mission is?”
“It makes sense . ”
“Our country is like that . ”
Cha Jun Sung thought that the government knew the situation and was neglecting it .
The person right next to him is also a Lifer . The reality version of Life Mission is spreading like a virus . He does not have to say anything for it to reveal itself .
People need to figure it out for themselves . If he gets involved, he could get implicated for nothing .
“That’s a funny anchor . ”
The mark left on the wrist from a PDA, that anchor is also a Lifer . He must have taken it off for the authenticity of the news, but tons of people had already caught on .
1 or 2 out of 100 people on the street had PDAs on their wrists . Just because they took them off because they are detachable does not mean that they are not still Lifers .
Hm!
It was not far now . Within a month, the confusion would be gone .
When that happens, the reality version of Life Mission will dissolve into modern society like sugar dissolves in water . It will be natural as though it had always existed .
“Anyway, why is he so late? He’s completely ignoring the time we promised . ”
Cha Jun Sung was waiting for someone . A few days ago, he put up a post on Lifer World that he was selling the booty he found in Field of Meat .
There had been a lot of comments, but he chose to sell to a fellow Korean . They had agreed to meet at 1 o’clock, but no one has appeared for 20 minutes .
“Mr . Odin?”
He heard a delicate voice . A beautiful woman in glasses was standing in front of him . People’s attention focused their attention on her because she was so pretty .
“You’re late . ”
“Sorry . Something suddenly came up and I didn’t have a way to get in contact with you . ”
When she bowed her head, the picture he had drawn came apart . Cha Jun Sung felt himself in the wrong . Since it is of the past, he did not hold a grudge .
“Since there are a lot of people here, let’s go somewhere else . ”
“There’s a place I saw on the way here . ”
She took the lead and Cha Jun Sung followed . The curves of her body hidden under her suit are a form of art . He would not be bored on their way .
The place she brought them to is the top of a new commercial construction site . The security is tight . 6 security guards are blocking people from entering .
“Let me introduce myself . I’m Jung Hye Ryung of the virtual department of Chilsung Group . ”
“What?”
“The virtual department . ”
“There are all types of departments now . ”
“Life Mission is a next generation business that can bring in vast profits, so Chilsung Group has already contracted many Lifers . ”
Lifers are not able to do everything . If the top company in Korea supports them with items, they can expect growth at a much faster rate .
They receive support and fulfill a request in return . It is mutual aid .
“No wonder you beat the others’ prices . Chilsung was moving . ”
The government and large companies are the two ranges of public and private organizations . Chilsung Group, with dozens of subsidiaries, is one of the world’s 100 groups .
There is not a company in Korea that will fight with money against Chilsung Group . Since government assets are made from citizen taxes, its use for personal reasons is limited .
On the other hand, the chairman of Chilsung Group ranks 30 on personal assets alone on Forbes . With all of the members combined, they exceed 50 . No one can beat them with money .
“Can I see the items?”
“Of course . ”
Cha Jun Sung took items out from the space compression bag . There was a pistol, machine gun, sniper rifle, automatic crossbow, ammunition case, parachute, GPS, et cetera .
They are the items of dozens of people . He had brought everything including what Park Jin Hyuk brought . There was quite a considerable amount . This could arm 2 parties .
“Is that bag a space compression bag?”
“Yes . ”
Jun Hye Ryung’s eyes became ecstatic and looked at it as though it were a brand name bag .
A whopping 50,000 points .
Even she had only ever seen it once because it is the most expensive item in the Level E store . To think that there is another Lifer who purchased this .
“Because there’s nowhere to hide this . If I’m caught by enforcement with this in my car, I’ll be arrested or I’ll have to go through investigation, and it’s too heavy for me to even carry . ”
He was not trying to be mysterious, but there is no good in revealing it either . He was thinking of using a big bag, but had chosen a space compression bag for various reasons .
“Do you have any thoughts of selling it? We’ll match whatever price you ask for . ”
Of course she would want it .
He did not necessarily need it for the class E he would complete in a few days, but it will definitely be an item that he needs as he goes to higher missions .
Even if it is just the best item sold in level E .
“Money is just useless paper in Life Mission . ”
It is just a fraction compared to Chilsung Group, but before he had enough wealth to buy the entire store even became a Lifer .
It may be different if something better comes along, but he would not sell it even for millions of dollars .
“Ah ah . ”
Jung Hye Ryung thought it a pity .
The Lifers under contract with Chilsung Group were still new . But it was fine because money could compensate what experience they lacked . But this guy Odin is different and has gone far ahead as an expert . She needed to learn more .
