Chapter 75 (1/2)

Cha Jun Sung thought about what had happened a few hours ago. It was when his conversation with Han Chang Jin was wrapping up. Lim Si Hyun spoke with a cautious tone.

‘They came from America. I said that I would arrange for you to meet. What do you think?’

Lim Si Hyun suggested meeting with them to tell them what he is thinking because they would go barging into Cha Jun Sung’s house if he had not offered to arrange it.

‘Deny.’

Since the party was formed and he had come into the mission, he would meet with them. It is just that he will turn down the proposal from America no matter what the conditions are. They were already off on the wrong foot in the way they had come looking for him.

He thought of Han Chang Jin’s wary face. He was apprehensive that Cha Jun Sung might go to America. That is how great the conditions would be.

Woong!

A summons gate formed in front of Cha Jun Sung. He left his thoughts.

He has seen Ice Queen before, and this is the first time he is meeting Boom Busker. He does not have an evil inclination like Blood King, but the rumors are not good.

Let’s be careful. Unpredictable people are more dangerous than the bad people. It is because you cannot predict what they are thinking.

“Overload?”

“It’s been a year, Ice Queen.”

With a tone of confirmation, Cha Jun Sung took his helmet off. His identity had been revealed without his intention. There is not much of a difference between showing himself and hiding.

“Hey! Overload, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Burke. Boom Busker. You know who I am, right?”

“Ha?”

There are no honorifics in English. But the translator relays the message with the person’s accent, emotion, and thought process.

Ice Queen spoke respectfully to Cha Jun Sung, so it sounded like she was using honorifics, but it was not so for Boom Busker because he was talking as though Cha Jun Sung is his neighborhood friend.

It is not a good feeling. He does not like to meet people who are disrespectful.

“Don’t drop the honorifics.”

“Honorifics? Aha! Does the translator relay the message without honorifics? That’s too narrow-minded.”

Boom Busker is provoking Cha Jun Sung. To think that he would get angry over something so insignificant.

Cha Jun Sung could be reacting sensitively. He would have gone past it like nothing normally, but he could not look kindly on them because of the hacking.

“I’ll speak. I am the person in charge of this subsumption.”

“Sheesh!”

Boom Busker fell back. It is true. He had just tagged along, but Ice Queen has all of the authority.

“I’m sorry. The government did the hacking. We had nothing to do with it.”

Cha Jun Sung looked relieved. Ice Queen does not lie. She is professional and she is cold and transparent like an ice queen should be.

“Let’s just say there’s nothing we can do about what’s already happened. Is it right that you’re here for a subsumption?”

“That’s right.”

“Then I will turn you down. I will not listen to the conditions. Please go back.”

He has enough of the corporeal. The reality is a different world. He does not think that the U.S. has overwhelming influence.

The only benefits they have are things that they can give in real life.

Money and citizenship, giving him different kinds of conveniences or giving him points? It will be incomparable to Korea, but it is all useless.

Ice Queen looked at Cha Jun Sung. He did not look away. She has clear eyes that are fitting for her beauty.

“Of course.”

“Huh?”

It is unexpected. Cha Jun Sung was surprised by this woman who had given up so easily.

“If it’s a no, it’s a no. This is not an issue that will change because we make an appeal.”

If his will is set, there is no need to waste effort trying to change his mind. All she needs to do is report the results back to America. Her own duty is over.

“Are you joking? This easily? You think we came this far for this?”

Boom Busker exploded in dissatisfaction of the situation. It is either he accepts or rejects their proposal, but this is not it.

“You could become a king if you come to America. Your salary will be millions of dollars, you’ll have a mansion, and they’ll push for 500,000 points for you. What do you think? Isn’t it tempting?”

Cha Jun Sung ignored Boom Busker and was going to go outside. As long as they have entered a mission, he might as well finish it instead of quitting.

“Stop! Ah, fine! Damn it! Since it won’t work out anyway, let’s fight!”

“Burke!”

“What good is there to fight when none of our systems are properly in place?”
