“You don’t need to act as a Lifer. Become the subject of the mission. You could become the subject. You wouldn’t be a human at that moment.”
Cha Jun Sung blinked.
If he understood correctly, this means he would take on the role of a mutant being hunted by Lifers.
‘My identity won’t be revealed if I kill Tyrant in my mutant form.’
There are more pros than cons no matter how he thinks about it, but there is a fatal problem here. The operation is a failure if he can’t figure this out.
“Will that be possible when Borteth knows my mutant form?”
“Only us three supervisors know about this. The general manager used his authority to put a gag order. But the probability that Borteth follows this is low, since going against the rules is his specialty. That’s why I’ll keep Borteth marked while you do it. It’ll be about a couple months.”
As long as the supervisors don’t get involved, the restrictions on Cha Jun Sung’s actions disappear.
It becomes an environment in which he can focus on Tyrant.
“Is ‘Tyrant’s death’ all you’re asking for? There’s nothing more, right?”
“Borteth is abusing his authority as a supervisor. If Tyrant dies, he not only won’t have the power to reinvest, but he can’t use another card so he won’t be able to act so freely. It won’t be easy. You know that, right?”
He knows well.
Jigneon wants Tyrant’s death.
In other words, results.
He needs to fight Lifers who came in with him as well. If the situation worsens, he might need to face Bloody Kingdom Rankers.
‘That means I can’t get help.’
His mutation is a secret he can’t tell anyone. If he fights as a mutant, he can’t get help from his friends. He needs to resolve it himself.
‘Will I be able to control the mutant?’
The superior mutant exercises strong dominance over the inferior mutant. Instilling absolute fear allows a king to reign. Strength is everything with the law of the jungle.
If Cha Jun Sung is able to control mutants in the vicinity with his level 8 dominion, it would be of great help.
‘Funny.’
To be considering it after getting dragged here against his will, he can’t get the drift of whether he should understand or not.
“It’ll become extremely bothersome once Borteth decides to disadvantage you in earnest. You need to cut out his pawn before that happens. I’ll keep his eyes and ears covered for the time being. You have nothing to worry about.”
Jigneon is saying that he will take care of the troublesome aspects so that he can handle the general mission.
“I’ll just ask one thing. If this ends in success, will Borteth find out that I acted as your pawn?”
“He’ll probably find out once his eyes and ears become uncovered, but didn’t I tell you? I’ll watch your back so that he won’t be able to try again.”
Cha Jun Sung interpreted Jigneon’s tone, even though he pretended not to.
He didn’t speak definitively. He twisted the end subtly. It means that he’ll do his best, but he might not become a perfect defense.
‘It looks like I’ll be promoted from a subject to vent on to an enemy if this is a success.’
His friends’ knowledge is too limited for him to discuss with them.
There are too many secrets.
He’ll need to consult with Odin.
Odin could be on Jigneon’s side, but he can just consult with him since he is leaning towards accepting.
“I want to go home. I’ll contact you within a few days, so let me go.”
“Alright.”
Jigneon flicked his fingers once more.
Then a return gate appeared next to Cha Jun Sung. It was like a switch.
Cha Jun Sung lightly greeted Jigneon and went inside.
“I’m neutral.”
Since he can’t show how he really feels, the ways to show his sincerity are very limited. All he can do is hope that the other person believes him.
***
Cha Jun Sung returned home, took a refreshing shower, and slept deeply.
He doesn’t feel mental or physical fatigue with his superhuman mind and body.
It is out of habit.
