Chapter 34 (1/2)

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.”
