Chapter 96

After leaving the ironmith’s office, Joon-joon took a deep breath.
“… what is it?”
He turns his head for a moment and thinks of a ceremony beyond the closed door of the Oval Office.
‘Ugh…’
When the ceremony first appeared, Cho Hyeong-jun automatically smiled at the mouth.
But that smile didn’t last long.
When his razor-sharp eyes glanced over him, I felt like my whole body was going bare.
Traditionally, his traits have been sending signals to watch out for him.
‘I’ve never seen anything like this…’
Since it was the first time I had this feeling since my first impression, Cho Hyo-jun was confused.
‘Obviously…, I’ve never seen that face before. Then why is it a danger to me…? Shit, should I have known his name?’
Cho Joon took a step, biting his fingernails with anxiety.
Then he sighed deeply.
‘… Let’s get a grip. We haven’t seen much movement yet, so it’s not too soon to judge.’
Cho Hyung-jun put his priorities on the ‘Secret Project’.
The secret project, which I thought was destroyed.
But it turned out that the project was going on.
He became a candidate for the project team.
‘… things are definitely going in a good direction.’
To get rid of unnecessary anxiety, Jung Joon waved his head and took a deep breath.
Then he took another step with a nice human smile on his mouth.
‘… first report the information to date.’
.
The next day, I quietly called Lee Jong-hyun from the safety zone set by Jo Hyung-jun who left the association.
No.23? Did you gather any meaningful information?
“… Obviously, there were a lot of trivial things.”
Yeah? Well, let’s just cut to the chase.
“… the ‘secret project’, which I thought was destroyed, is now underway.
…! Huh, this is nice. I’m sure Zhang Dou-cheol has a strong heart…
At first, Lee Jong-hyun didn’t understand the railroad that cared about the destroyed project.
I was greatly surprised by the fact that the project was in progress.
Cho Joon, who was answering the phone, said as if that wasn’t the end.
“Not only that, but the head of the team for the secret project was steel.
You’re talking about the white belt, right?
“Yes, that’s right.”
Hmm… Steel Gun and Baek Beom Gu…
Cho Hyeong-jun tilted his head to Lee Jong-hyun, who was chewing the name of Baek Bum-gu.
Wasn’t he abducted by New Black and disappeared? Why do you care? ‘
“… Lee Jong-hyun?”
Hmm? Well, what else do you have?
“No, it’s not that. I have a personal question.”
Any questions?
“Yes, what made Zhang Rail so interested in the ‘Secret Project’?”
In Jo’s question, Lee Jong-hyun, the intelligence officer, kept quiet for a while and then stopped talking.
… You know New Black, right?
“Well, it’s so noisy these days. You never know.”
In fact, Zhang Rail thinks there might be a connection between New Black and the Society’s secret projects.
“…??”
He couldn’t understand it.
What is the connection between the Emerging Villain Organization and the Hero Association’s secret project? I tilted my head.
“Hmm, what do you mean…?!”
At that moment, Cho Hyo-jun suddenly opened his eyes with a big twitch.
It’s ridiculous in his head.
But a curiously fitting, malformed puzzle began to unfold.
‘Now, wait a minute.’
Emerging Villain Organizations, a secret project of the New Black and Hero Associations.
Unfortunately, both were published and underway at the same time.
He is also close to the White Orphan who was kidnapped by New Black.
Incognito projects that are hard to understand, even within the association.
‘Don’t tell me…’
Jo Hyeong-jun did not believe me, but spread his imagination.
The tail of his mouth trembles intermittently.
I even felt creepy with goosebumps all over me.
‘Really, if one of you is right…!’
His face was funny and he was going crazy.
The Hero Association’s secret project is actually an emerging billionaire, New Black? ‘
Of course, it is unimaginable for a common-sense person to pose as a vigilante and commit terrorism in a group.
But the guy’s a freak. Rumor has it, Baekbeom Gu.
“… I think I know what Jang Rail is thinking.”
…….
Lee Jong-hyun didn’t even say a few words, but he smiled as soon as he realized the importance of the railroad train.
Well, so far, it’s only a matter of family. In fact, I still think it’s just snow. It doesn’t make sense for a hero to start a Billon organization, does it?
“… but it is.”
But just in case. I gave you a job. And….
Lee Jong-hyun paused and smiled bitterly.
If, indeed, they were playing New Black. I’m going to give you a good beating.
“Hmm… I see. I’m too curious about this personally.
Lee Jong-hyun suddenly asked as if he didn’t understand well.
Yeah, but how the hell did he gather that information in two days?
“Oh, the head of the association that I was working on recently wants to include me in the project team. Right now, I’m nominating for a recruitment team.
? Haha! Is that true? It feels like the sky is helping us. Heheh… Anyway, I should hope for the next report.
“Yes, it will be quick. Please be patient.”
Cho, who hung up on me, trembled in a room with no one there.
“New Black, and the Secret Project….”
His eyes resembling the Half Moon glowed fiercely.
‘I think it’ll be fun.’
* * * * *
Hmm… So… Are you suggesting that Jo Joon might be Willan’s franchise?
“Yes, it is.”
White Bubbles and Video Conferences await you at home in New Black.
At the words of the ceremony, I tapped the table with my finger as if it were White Orb thinking.
Then I frowned and opened my mouth.
Well, I thought he was weird, too.
He shouted in surprise at Baekbeom District’s unexpected remarks.
“Yes?! Is that what you think, Chief of Staff?”
Oh, I’m deaf, so keep your voice down. No, that bastard… Honestly, even without his humanity, it’s too much.
“What is it…? How good of a hero is Cao Joon.”
I clapped my fingers at Iron Ball, saying that White Bumble Ball was right.
Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.
“…?? What are you talking about?”
Baekbeol shrugs his shoulders at the irony that he doesn’t seem to understand.
No matter how good a person is, he can’t be that good. Obviously, he’s emotionally impaired or…
After pausing, he draws a smile on his mouth.
… Maybe he’s got some other purpose, some kind of hole in his back.
“… huh, right.”
Iron Gun leaned into the chair in White Panther’s view.
Seeing the appearance of such irony, the caterer tasted the appetite again, then looked at the ceremony.
So what’s your plan?
The ceremony, folding its arms and listening to the conversation, opens its mouth quietly.
“First…, I’ll break their expectations.”
* * * * *
A few days later, on the call of the steel case, Jo Hyo-jun headed to his office.
“Hello? Yes, come on in.”
As soon as Jo Hyeong-jun entered the office, Iron Gun stood up and greeted him as if he was very pleased.
‘This one’s easy, too.’
Even though Jo Joon was laughing inside.
I drew a good smile on the outside.
“Yes, Steel Gun Hero. What’s going on?”
“Oh, it’s no different. About replenishing the Secret Project I told you about…”
That said, Jo Joon quietly opened his eyes.
A blurry iron gun swung at the end of the horse and patted Jo Joon on the shoulder.
“All team members approved! You’re on our team from now on.”
“Really? Actually, I wasn’t expecting…”
“Haha! I told you. The whole team would love you.”
Jo Hyeong-jun smiled at the steel gun smiling faintly.
“But…, what kind of project is this? And frankly, you care so much about security, so I was strangely looking forward to it.”
“Hmm? Haha, I was going to introduce you to the team first… What, it doesn’t matter?”
I looked at him with a serious look.
He swallowed a saliva without even knowing it.
“Don’t freak out.”
The puzzle in Jo Joon’s head was almost solved.
Now there’s only one puzzle.
A word of ironwork will complete the picture.
‘Yes, tell me quickly.’
In a word, Jo Joon’s heart began to beat.
Biceps
His palms were sweating.
His eyes were wide open, and his expectations were young.
“My team is actually….”
And soon, Iron Gun threw the last puzzle.
“Emerging Villain Organization, New Black….”
“…!!”
With his eyes flashing, Catarrhea bursts like a fountain from his whole body.
However, Iron Gun added something behind his back.
“… a team dedicated to New Black Operations.”
“… Yes?”
“Think of New Black as a dedicated brand.”
“…….”
The excitement that caused my heart to flutter with iron words disappeared.
‘… What?’
Obviously, the last puzzle thrown by Iron Gun completed the picture in Jo Joon’s head.
But the problem is that the last puzzle completely changed the picture that he expected.
Similar, but very different.
… the New Black Task Force? ‘
It’s a classic operation.
It was a project as realistic as we feared.
‘Ha…!’
Moreover, it was much more common sense than an operation that didn’t sound like a hero playing Billon.
But…
‘… It’s not funny.’
He let go without even knowing it.
He stops and smiles.
“Haha! Why are you so disappointed?”
“Yes? Ah, haha! No, disappointment.”
Choi Hyeong-jun, who was curious, immediately changed his face and reacted to Chelsea.
Obviously, his face was smiling, but he was sweating inside.
‘Whew… Calm down. I’m not sure yet. It was just a hypothesis.’
If you think about it a little deeper, the White Orb was abducted by New Black.
The fact that the steel case that was displeased with that set up a dedicated team for revenge.
It was a very typical repertoire that could also appear in novels.
Eventually, Joon-Joon acknowledged the fact and nodded his head.
‘… It’s a pity, though.’
Again, I almost sighed, but I almost endured it.
Then I turned my back on him, and Iron Gun smiled and said.
“Oh, and we found New Black’s stronghold.”
“Hmm? Oh, really?”
At the same time, iron handed over a file to Jo Hyung-jun.
The file contained the headquarters of New Black and profiles of several villains who had been exposed to the media.
“Yes, so if only you, who are newly joined, are ready to go straight to a gunfight.”
“I see. I’ll keep that in mind.”
A prototype for quietly handing over files and quickly storing information in your head.
Iron Gun glanced at him and tasted.
“Well, I wanted to introduce you to my team right away. You don’t look so good. Well, I’ll give you some time, so why don’t you get some rest?”
“Yes? Ah…”
It was time to say that Jo Jo Joon was okay with the favor of Iron Gun.
‘Wait. If you join a dedicated team, it may be difficult to give you any more time… but is it right to report in first?’
Cho Joon quickly cleared his mind, nodding.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Jo Hyeong-jun then left the office after hearing some important issues about ‘The New Black Task Force.’
Chop chop.
The iron case that remained alone in the Oval Office firmly fixed his face.
As the ceremony said, Cheolgan had been watching his face ever since Jo Hyung-jun first came into the office.
First anxiety, then anticipation and joy.
And the last one is definitely….
“… I was disappointed.”
Iron Gun sighs deeply.
Like the words of the ceremony, the thought that Jo Joon could be Willan’s franchise slowly began to settle in his mind.
“Cho, Hyung Joon….”
Bilbon’s Hero Life
