Allies who can’t be controlled aren’t much different from the enemy. If he pursues just the results, they will be ruined. They need the patience to wait.

Borteth frowns at Jigneon giving him a sermon. He is extremely annoyed, but he cannot ignore him like he did with Gabenu.

“Fine. Let me ask one thing. How were you going to take responsibility if Cha Jun Sung had died? You would have wasted a special sample from our study.”

“Responsibility? What responsibility are you talking about? If he dies, he dies. Don’t we have plenty of Lifers anyway? The 36 Rankers will become level A Lifers soon, too.”

Borteth refuses to listen, so Gabenu sighs. He is so single-minded, only thinking of himself.

Even Gabenu thinks that they need to take Cha Jun Sung all the way. If he dies, they will have lost a level S Lifer, which they aren’t sure they’ll get again.

He may have skipped some steps with the advanced store opening card, but his fighting ability surpasses level A. He has the ability to take on a level A advance mission, so he might as well be called a level S Lifer.

If the 3 officers want to, they can create as many level S and A Lifers as they pleased. They can just release the restrictions on the store like they did with missions. But they don’t have enough items to give out to so many Lifers, so there wouldn’t be use for so many advanced Lifers anyway.

It is like taking an exam while looking at the answer sheet. They cannot experiment with Lifers without differentiation, as if they were products created in a factory.

Life Mission was created as a long term project of experimenting between Lifers and mutants for about 10 years. Not even half that time has passed. They cannot begin to stray from their path already.

“You have no signs of being sorry. Then I’ll ask in another way. Do you admit that you used the Heavy Gravity arbitrarily and forced a Lifer?”

“Yes.”

“You’ve broken a rule that we created, that you agreed with yourself. With the authority as General Manager, I take you out from experiments for a few months.”

Gabenu was more surprised than Borteth, who had received the punishment. It is just a few months, but he hadn’t expected Jigneon to take Borteth away from the front.

“Be grateful we don’t report this to the top, and reflect on your actions.”

Borteth grinds his teeth. It’s so loud that Jigneon and Gabenu can hear, but he does not disrespect them.

Borteth isn’t such a lightweight as to find fault in position.

“Go. Gabenu and I need to hold our meeting about the rest of the agenda.”

Borteth glares at Jigneon, slightly bows his head, and gets on the dimensional gate. He is the General Manager. He cannot act out of line just because he is angry. He did not even acknowledge Gabenu before leaving.

“Will it be okay? There’s no way he’ll behave with his personality.”

“I don’t think he’ll listen to me either. This is just a strong warning I’m giving him.”

Gabenu spoke respectfully to Jigneon unlike Borteth, and Jigneon also maintained formalities toward him. It means that they respect each other.

Borteth had the ability to participate in the meeting taken away by the General Manager’s authority, but he intends to engage with Life Mission in his own way.

However, he will refrain from acting arbitrarily for the time being since he has been reprimanded.

“Sometimes, it looks like you look out for Cha Jun Sung, Jigneon.”

“Look out for him? That’s not how I would put it, but I guess I would say it’s similar. He’s the one who provides the most information for headquarters. Alright! Let’s move past this. Isn’t there something else that’s important?”

Wiing!

A large hologram shows them North America. They are not looking at the current situation. They are looking at what happened in the past again. They examine the hologram without speaking. It shows someone fighting with Benukiz and killing Vanessa.

But they couldn’t see who they are, as if they were in mosaic. This is proof that they are fooling the satellite’s eye. That is impossible. The satellites installed on Earth are created from their current technology, on an entirely different level from the technology of the old world.

They use this to keep track of mutant locations and construct or reconstruct missions. They can see anything they are looking at clearly.

“There isn’t even an item in the level S store that can help someone avoid the satellites.”

“I’m suspicious about that too.”

They have to watch the Lifers. They wouldn’t have made something like that.

The 3 officers, their scientists, and the helpers did not even touch items that would act at a disadvantage to the system.

“We won’t be able to find this man, will we?”

“No. He’s gone missing ever since he killed Vanessa.”

“This isn’t a matter that we can just move past. From the report… creating this equipment is possible. With our technology, not the technology of Earth.”
