Legend of Legends Chapter 291 – Going Forward 3

Junhyuk took Sora home, put on his mask and headed to GST. He was going there to drop off the iron soldiers. When he arrived, he saw the security team installing the security system.

“Is it going well?” he asked the security team chief.

“This place is highly secure. Anyone without proper authorization won’t be able to come in here.”

Junhyuk nodded and asked, “Can I go in now?”

“Of course.”

He went inside and saw that the new equipment had been installed. Junhyuk was glad that the equipment was already there.

Then, he saw Sungtae and Brian, and Brian smiled when he saw Junhyuk.

“We meet again!”

Junhyuk gave a light nod and looked at Sungtae.

“How is the equipment?”

“They are of the highest quality. I had to get them fast, so I paid an extra 10 percent.”

“That doesn’t matter. How long will it take to get everything?”

Brita, who was walking toward them, answered, “We got most of the necessary equipment. The rest are accessories, and we aren’t in a hurry. We’re already well prepared.”

Junhyuk had only given them a short while, but Brian had already been able to import everything around them, which astonished him. Junhyuk entered the lab and looked around. The equipment was comparable to those of Elise’s lab

Junhyuk turned to Brita and asked, “Then, are you ready to start your research?”

“Do you have them already?”

He nodded and looked around. Sungtae and Brian had left, so he calmly placed his hand on his chest and pulled out two iron soldiers. Brita’s eyes widened. She could not understand how items as big as those could come out of him. Her eyes beamed.

“Sorry, but I can’t tell you about this,” he said calmly.

Junhyuk couldn’t give her the Spatial Bag for research, so he continued, “You may use one to tear apart and figure out how they are made, but the other we’ll use to guard this place.”

“You want to use an iron soldier to guard the building?”

“Correct. We are not safe from monsters.”

Brita took a moment to think and said, “Wait.”

She went over to the iron soldier and took off its shell. She did it so well that he could tell that she was very skilled. Brita looked inside the iron soldier and shook her head.

“I can’t see its GPS. Is it somewhere else?”

“I took it out. And here is the synchronization code,” he answered calmly.

She took the code and started working on a keyboard. The screen started loading, and then it showed the iron soldier.

Brita said camly, “Ganesha, see if the iron soldier is connected to another network.”

Ganesha spoke a moment later.

[It’s in its most basic state. It’s not connected to any other network.]

Junhyuk realized that Elise had kept her promise and realized that he could trust her even more.

“Considering the iron soldier’s weaponry, can you get it extra ammunition?”

“I can’t do that in South Korea.”

“Then, how can I get more weapons?”

“You can probably get them from where you purchased these.”

Junhyuk smiled bitterly and said, “Nothing we can do now. To start, set the control over the iron soldiers to me, you and Sungtae.”

“Sure.”

“Then, work hard.”

Brita had been waiting for that moment, and she pulled out her tools for dismantling the iron soldier. Junhyuk was relieved while watching her. She was very passionate now.

Junhyuk walked outside. There were still many things to install next to the main lab, and Brian was in charge of installing them, so he saw Sungtae and Brian nearby.

“Sungtae, talk to me for a moment.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk looked at Brian and said, “We’ll be dealing with you in the future. Please do your best.”

“I will!”

He patted Brian’s shoulder lightly, and Brian’s eyes beamed. Considering the things that Junhyuk had already bought, he already knew how wealthy Junhyuk was and he knew that, through Junhyuk, he would be able to do business with a wider world.

Junhyuk nodded slightly and took Sungtae to the tenth floor. Although, Junhyuk was the CEO, he rarely used the CEO’s office.

When he showed up with Sungtae, all secretaries suddenly got up from their seats. Junhyuk had no complaints about Sungtae having hired secretaries. They had signed confidentiality agreements and they were all beautiful.

They earned more than secretaries at major corporations and also got a lot of benefits from GST. Sungtae had used the company benefits to make sure to hire them.

They greeted Junhyuk, and he went inside the CEO’s office. Junhyuk and Sungtae took their seats, and a secretary walked in and stood there.

“Do you want anything to drink?”

“I’ll have some coffee. What about you?”

“I’ll have coffee as well.”

The secretary bowed and walked out, and Junhyuk looked at Sungtae.

“I have a job for you.”

“Just tell me what it is.”

Lately, Sungtae was very happy. He was the second-in-command at GST and he could do whatever he wanted. He also had Ganesha.

“I have to buy some buildings without the company name,” Junhyuk said.

“Buildings?”

As Junhyuk nodde, the secretary knocked on the door and brought in their coffee. Junhyuk took his cup and walked over to a window. Sungtae got up and walked to him.

“To start, let’s get the building next door.”

“What are you going to do?”

“I plan to collect people with powers.”

Sungtae already knew about powers, so he quickly understood what Junhyuk had meant by it.

“Nowadays, articles concerning novices aren’t being deleted. But it’s different in South Korea. They are still being deleted here.”

“Right. In South Korea, Guardians has the biggest power over information, and the company is also gathering powered people. I’m only planning on gathering those I can trust.”

“Trust…”

“The people I can trust. To begin with, I’ve recruited someone.”

Sungtae couldn’t hide his surprised looked, and Junhyuk continued calmly, “So, let’s get a new building, but not under GST’s name.”

“Then, with what name are you making the purchase?”

“Create another company.”

“Do you have anything in mind?”

“Just Max.”

Sungate smiled and said, “Then, are you giving GST to me?”

Junhyuk grabbed Sungtae’s shoulders and said, “If you show your worth to me.”

Sungtae had only been joking, so his eyes widened. GST’s total assets were enormous now. The company was thriving, and its breakthroughs would shock the world. On top of that, Junhyuk had just said that he would be willing to give Sungtae the company.

Sungtae was ecstatic.

Junhyuk continued, “Hurry and get the building next door. Give them $2 million more than the going price.”

“Sure.”

After hearing Sungtae’s answer, Junhyuk finished his coffee. Then, the phone rang. He pressed a button on it and heard a secretary’s voice.

“What is it?”

“Tirot from the Administrative Department wants to see you.”

Junhyuk looked at Sungtae, but Suntae just shook his head.

“He didn’t tell me anything.”

“Yeah? Tell him to come in.”

There was a knock on the door soon after, and Tirot walked in. Junhyuk had been watching Tirot closely as he also had mana, which made him think that Tirot was probably different from the others.

He offered Tirot a seat and asked, “Do you want a drink?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Junhyuk and Sungtae sat down again.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

With some hesitation, Tirot said, “I want to talk about Brita’s research.”

Junhyuk shook his head.

“Is that a problem?”

“No, it’s not.”

Junhyuk sat comfortably. He wanted to hear what Tirot had to say, and Tirot looked straight at him and said, “Brita will need help from others.”

“Sure.”

Elise led her research, but she had a monster research team of her own. Just like Elise, Brita would also need a team. However, it wasn’t the right time for that. Brita was dismantling the iron soldier, and that wasn’t something that just anyone could have access to.

“I have a favor to ask of you.” Sensing that Junhyuk wanted to hear from him, Tirot continued, “I have a lot of interest in biological engineering.”

Junhyuk became even more interested. Elise had knowledge of robotics, and Junhyuk supported Brita’s attempt to catch up to her. Now, a biological engineer, Tirot, had come to him on his own.

“Yeah? Then, what I can do for you?”

“The remnants of the monsters from the Dimensional Battlefield and R-potions and bloodstones, I want access to them.”

Junhyuk frowned slightly, and Tirot shivered a little. Then, Junhyuk raised his hand to let Tirot know that he wasn’t frowning because of him and turned to Sungtae.

“I need you to purchase one more building.”

“You are…?”

“Monsters are very large. Considering Guardians’ lab, one building for everything isn’t enough. We have to buy a new building and repurpose it.”

Sungtae smacked his lips and said, “That’ll be a massive construction.”

“It will, but it’s necessary.”

Then, Junhyuk turned to Tirot and added, “OK, I’ll have them for you.”

“Thank you.”

“However, until everything is done, you won’t be able to run your research.”

“I know.”

“So, you may direct the construction yourself.”

“Thank you!”

Tirot would be in charge of the research lab, so it would be good for him to lead its construction.

Junhyuk got up and patted Tirot’s shoulder.

“You can have anything you want. Do your research.”

“Thank you.”

Tirot walked out, and Junhyuk looked at Sungtae and asked, “Is Tirot talented in biological engineering?”

“Brita and Tirot are different from us. Tirot minored in biological engineering, and he also has a PhD in the field, but he doesn’t talk about it because he is not a showoff.”

“A PhD from MIT isn’t something to brag about?”

“One can always get a PhD.”

Junhyuk wanted to punch Sungtae.

“I want to beat you up.”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha! I have to go now. Got work to do.”

Sungtae left, and Junhyuk laughed and looked out of the window. Within the jungle of buildings in the Guro District, he knew he was taking steps forward.
