Paladin of the Dead God-Chapter 865

“Did you drag me here just to brag about that?”

“Drag you here? Don’t say such hurtful things. I’m giving you an opportunity.”

“An opportunity?”

“I think you’re a smart guy who wouldn’t use such an obvious move. I’m talking about Plan B. It will give you another chance to get Hansung back.”

“…”

Shin Kyungsoo clenched his mouth as Karl Eiken leaned his face closer.

“Why? Are you hesitating again like before?”

“No.”

“Tsk tsk. You couldn’t even get rid of an old man and fell from grace, and now you’re repeating the same mistake.”

Shin Kyungsoo’s face twisted at Karl Eiken’s whisper.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Mirinae Securities.

Park Young-hoon’s eyes widened as he heard the explanation from Yoo-hyun.

“That’s Plan B?”

“I prepared it in case of emergency.”

“Damn it. Be rational. The reason why we involved Shin Kyungsoo in this matter is because we saw what he did. But that’s not the Plan B you told me.”

Park Young-hoon had been verifying the plan with Shin Kyungsoo since he set up the big picture of the operation.

The timing of the attack with the class action lawsuit news, and the final blow for the last strike, were all decided after running several simulations.

But there was a problem, and he was worried about the Plan B that they hadn’t even discussed. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Yoo-hyun answered calmly.

“I checked the possibility.”

“No matter how high the possibility is, this is too risky. If you make a mistake, you could be in big trouble.”

“I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.”

“Ha! Yoo-hyun. Do you really trust Shin Kyungsoo?”

Trust him?

Yoo-hyun recalled the time when he despised Shin Kyungsoo the most as a human being.

It wasn’t the distant past when he had witnessed his many misdeeds.

It was the day when Shin Hyun-ho, the former chairman, lost consciousness and was sent to the hospital.

-Yoo-hyun. Could it be… that the chairman’s collapse was intentional?

At that moment, Kwon Se-jung, a manager who was good at strategic thinking, doubted.

Yoo-hyun had a hunch.

He thought that Shin Kyungsoo might be involved in the death of Shin Hyun-ho, the former chairman, and his collapse this time.

Maybe he was not only a corrupt leader who used his employees as parts and caused harm to society, but also a human scum who committed a heinous crime to covet the chairman’s position.

What gave him more confidence in his speculation was the former chairman’s behavior.

When was it?

Shin Hyun-ho, who had recovered his health, cut off his ties with Shin Kyungsoo and his family very firmly.

Hong Jin-hee, the lady, and the royal family who had corrupted Hansung, all scattered abroad and had no news.

He didn’t help Shin Kyungsoo even when he was ruined.

It was too much, even though Shin Kyungsoo tried to sell Hansung Electronics to Elliot.

Yoo-hyun wondered.

Maybe Shin Hyun-ho knew what Shin Kyungsoo was trying to do?

That was the only explanation for cutting off ties with his wife and her children.

But Yoo-hyun approached Shin Kyungsoo, who was his enemy.

Why?

‘He didn’t play the worst card.’

Shin Kyungsoo might have been a villain in the past, but he didn’t cross the line in this life.

It was ironic that Shin Hyun-ho’s being alive was the proof.

Swoosh.

Yoo-hyun lifted his head and answered.

“As long as I chose him as my partner, I’m going to trust him.”

Tick tock.

The clock in Karl Eiken’s office made a ticking sound.

Shin Kyungsoo, who had been lost in thought with his eyes closed, looked at the big wall that he couldn’t overcome.

“I’ll tell you about Plan B.”

“Let’s hear it.”

Shin Kyungsoo felt a chill as he met Karl Eiken’s cold eyes.

He clenched his sweaty fist and tried to look calm.

“I’m going to infiltrate the PayPal data center.”

“I see. How?”

“Russell Smith, the director, agreed to open the way for me.”

“He’s a friend who likes money. Oh, does he have a grudge against me?”

“I don’t know.”

Karl Eiken snorted as if he expected it and got up from his seat.

He then brought his phone from his desk and shook it.

“Do you want to hear something interesting?”

“What is it?”

“I have something prepared just in case.”

Click.

He pressed a button and a man’s voice came out.

-Mr. Chairman. Steve Han is planning to infiltrate the PayPal data center, and the CIA will support him. You can arrest him for illegal intrusion at the point of entry before the CIA intervenes.

“…”

“Why? Did you think I had no connections in the CIA?”

Squeak.

Karl Eiken smiled and patted Shin Kyungsoo’s shoulder.

“But you’re impressive. I would have sent you to the other world if you said something else.”

“…”

“Good. I’ll smash Hansung and give it back to you. Hahaha!”

Karl Eiken laughed heartily, leaving Shin Kyungsoo behind with his pupils shaking.

While Park Young-hoon was silent, Yoo-hyun sorted out his thoughts.

Rationally speaking, the first plan was gone.

The only thing left was Plan B, but that was only possible with Shin Kyungsoo’s support.

How long did he wait?

Beep.

His phone rang and a message came in on the secret chat window.

-Shin Kyungsoo: Plan B

He called him, but his phone was still off.

He must have sent it from his computer.

Yoo-hyun checked the contents and sent a notification to another place.

“I have to go now.”

“What are you going to do?”

“There’s a subordinate of Shin Kyungsoo who’s waiting for Plan B. Scott will bring him the information. I’ve already contacted him.”

Park Young-hoon got up and stopped Yoo-hyun.

“Do you really have to go? You know there are dangers and enemies there.”

“I have to. It’s my fault that this happened.”

“It’s not your fault. It’s everyone’s responsibility.”

“Don’t get worked up. Why are you so worried?”

Yoo-hyun smiled faintly and tried to reassure him, but Park Young-hoon still looked anxious.

“Karl Ikan knew everything. Even the joint attack. He might already know about Plan B too.”

“I told you. The CIA will support us.”

“That’s their business. What if you get caught for illegal intrusion?”

The data center was a national infrastructure that required high-level security.

In the US, there were subsidies for security equipment enhancement, and a standardized management system that placed a certain number of security personnel and sensors in each section.

Even if they had an insider’s guidance, they would be held accountable if something went wrong.

What about an unauthorized person?

They would face severe punishment according to the security law.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.”

“Is that enough to be careful… Ah. No. You’re determined to go, right?”

“You know there’s no other chance if not now, brother.”

“Sigh. You stubborn fool. Come here.”

Park Young-hoon opened his arms and hugged Yoo-hyun tightly.

Pat pat.

“What are you doing?” Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIＦire.net

“Come back safely.”

Yoo-hyun pulled away from his arms and looked incredulous.

“People would think you’re sending me to death.”

“I’m worried. I’m worried, okay?”

“I get it. Just hold the fort here. If Mirinae Securities collapses, it’s all over for the data center and everything else.”

“Hey. I’m Park Young-hoon. Do you think I can’t handle that one thing when I’m sending my brother’s life away?”

“Don’t joke around. I’m going.”

Yoo-hyun punched Park Young-hoon’s chest and turned around.

It was after he sent Yoo-hyun to the elevator.

Park Young-hoon, who had been pretending to be calm, stomped his feet.

“Ah… Why am I so nervous? Yoo-hyun, that guy, he can’t go wrong.”

He had always been a reliable brother, but why did he feel so uneasy?

He walked around the corridor and suddenly slapped his own cheek.

Slap slap!

“Get a grip. I can’t be like this.”

He had too much to worry about, with the burden on his shoulders.

He had to take responsibility for everything as the representative, now that he had come this far.

“Let’s do this.”

Park Young-hoon lifted his arms and glared.

Scott Brown was already waiting in front of the Mirinae Securities building.

It was thanks to Yoo-hyun, who had asked him to prepare for Plan B in advance.

He handed two envelopes to Yoo-hyun, who got into the limousine.

“One is a plane ticket to Las Vegas. I’ve prepared it so you can arrive at the airport and board right away.”

“That’s fast.”

“It’s my duty. I have to do it. And the other one contains the information from Seven Investment. They asked me to check it carefully.”

The sealed envelope had a red sticker on it.

Yoo-hyun opened the envelope without any traces of tampering and checked the contents.

It included information about the person waiting at the Las Vegas airport, the method and time of transportation, and the documents for identity verification.

Scott Brown, who was driving without looking at him, opened his mouth after Yoo-hyun put the envelope away.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“Do you know the geography of Las Vegas well?”

“Yes. I’ve worked there before.”

“That’s good. I have to join my colleagues there…”

Yoo-hyun talked with Scott Brown and made a detailed plan for the move.

He had to be careful from the start, since it was a place where security was important.

He finalized the plan and sent a message to the people who had been preparing in Las Vegas for a long time.

Swoosh.

He put his phone in his pocket and saw the wide East River outside the window.

He stared blankly and remembered the day he met Shin Kyung-soo at the reservoir.

He had warned him when he grabbed Yoo-hyun’s hand.

-Maybe Karl Ikan was monitoring you when you came to see me. Remember. Don’t trust anyone here.

If it was someone else, he might have shrugged it off.

But Yoo-hyun, who had climbed up from the bottom with countless experiences, could not ignore his words.

Karl Ikan was a person who influenced the Republican Party, the federal prosecution, and Russia.

It wouldn’t be strange if he activated a surveillance network across the US.

Maybe he knew all the plans from the beginning?

He chuckled at the sudden thought.

He had met a formidable enemy.

It was absurd enough that he wielded the political and Russian powers, but he also had the power to cause conflicts in the world.

He would be lying if he said he wasn’t afraid.

But he had too much to protect to run away.

For the sake of the people he worked with and a better future, he had to take responsibility and overcome it.

Vroom.

He heard the heavy engine sound and made a vow again.

Clank.

He greeted Scott Brown, who parked the car in front of the airport.

“Thank you for your help. It’s reassuring to have someone I can trust.”

“My pleasure. It was an honor to serve you. I hope you have good luck.”

“Thank you. I’ll finish it and come back.”

Squeeze.

He smiled and shook hands with Yoo-hyun, who entered the airport.
