History's Strongest Manager

[12] Unwarranted favors have a reason (2)

It was the first time I felt the threat of life since I came to Korea. Seo-young raised her head as if she had realized something while clapping frankly.

“But Kang Jun... Are you trying to show me a trick? ”

“Oh, no... ”

Kangjun deactivated Ethelsod, put a knife sack back on his thigh and took off his armor. And then I activated the void in my coat and threw it into the air.

I kicked it with my foot.

“What, what! ”

- Ca 'ang!

The Blue Defense Ground is broken, making a terrible noise. Gangjun stared at it and spit it out.

“It's a dud.”

“It seems so... ”

Gangjun's kick was stronger than an ordinary person, but it was just a kick. Armor coats were able to withstand the rifle saturation as long as they were active, even at intermediate levels. Therefore, the armor that breaks in a single kick was simply inferior to medieval armor. However, Seoyoung was angry with Kang Jun.

“But be careful! You'll break your ankle if you don't! You scared me!”

“You didn't break it. ”

If the armor had worked properly, the right foot of the armored gun would have been smashed when the armored gun was kicked with power.

“What if it's broken! ”

“I didn't break it. ”

“... instead of being sick, I just die. Anyway, don't make me worry. ”

Kang Jun suddenly frowned at what Seo-young said. Seoyoung suddenly looked at Kang Jun.

“Kang Jun, are you angry? ”

“Oh, no... I just thought of something else for a while.... ”

Kang Jun responded to Seoyoung saying not to worry him. Kang Jun didn't say anything.

And then...

- Jiaying!

Suddenly, there is a violent vibration in Ethelsod. On the ground, Ethelsod trembles with a slender blade, and its vibrations gradually get rough. Gangjun picks up Ethelsod and throws it forcefully into the air.

“Get down!”

“Yes, yes? Tsk!”

Then he struck snowflakes and laid them under his body. Then, you activate the shield bracelet, which you were wearing, and spread a blue protective shield around your body. Seo-young suddenly screamed as Kang Jun crushed himself.

“W-what are you doing! ”

But the struggle didn't last long.

- Boom!

Ethelsod rises from the sky and explodes with a white light. Kangjun threw Ethelsod quite high, causing the bush to shake a bit, but if it exploded on the roof, the two of them were just ashes.

The explosion was brief, and Kang Jun quickly got up and flushed his body. Seo-young fell frozen and was burying her. Kang Jun reached out his hand.

“Are you all right?"

“Ah, ah... Yes, yes... I'm fine. Thank you... ”

Seo-young sees a piece of shrapnel in Ethelsod embedded in a single rooftop brick and trembles. If it had hit the head or the chest, one person would have died ridiculously. Fortunately, neither of them was harmed by the Defense Station.

“This, this…. What the hell is this? ”

“It's a defect.”

The boom was fairly loud, and some of these people might have heard of it. But the real damage was a piece of metal embedded in a tree. Kang Jun made an impression with an angry expression that he rarely saw.

“And this is deliberately bad. ”

“Yes?”

“I've been through this before. ”

Then he looked around and pointed to the rooftop door.

“Let's bounce, by the way. ”

“Well, you better! ”

Once something happened, the explosion sounded and someone must have come. Seo-young was still surprised, so her heart beat like crazy. in many ways.

They came back down to the office and sat down at the table to talk.

“I'm not an expert, so I can't see the circuit diagram perfectly. I don't know if I have the equipment, but I have to go to a professional workshop. ”

The Ethel device was a fairly complex device, and since Kang Jun was not an expert, it was not possible to specify what problems with the Ethel device caused the explosion.

“Back in the day, when I was in South America, I used to have a device serviced by a late-night garage. ”

“… Yes? ”

Suddenly speaking of other countries, Seo-young had to make a silly sound.

“By the way, after repairing it, I used it, and Ethelsod vibrated violently as before, and it exploded a little later. They were raiding the B-rank dungeon, but they weren't badly hurt, and if they were civilians, there would have been massive civilian casualties. ”

Now that Kang Jun predicted an explosion, there was no damage. If Hunters had set off an explosion while in use, Hunters would have been caught in the explosion, lost their weapons and killed by monsters, or both.

“But then I thought about it after the dungeon attack.... There was some friction with the local gangsters before I started maintenance. ”

Even though the story was going to a strange country, he was surprised and opened his mouth.

“We were a little tired. We were naked that day. Armor coats are so heavy, you get tired when you wear them. Oh, you don't know. Anyway, I'm a little tired. They thought we were just travelers because we were naked, and they were just trying to rob us, but... He had a gun, and everybody blew their arm off, and they ran away. ”

Seo-young was scared because he said he cut off his arm, but when Kang Jun said he blew his arm away from the person with the gun, he opened his mouth to see what movie he imagined.

“No, no, I'm not a samurai. You have this bracelet. ”

It was a tiny armor coat. Gangjun was able to overcome the situation because he did not remove it from his body. But even though it wasn't Kang Jun, to some degree, the night bounced off even when shot naked.

“Was the mechanic involved? ”

“Yes, the mechanic was one of the brothers of the flying men at the time. ”

“Well, so what did you do? ”

Seo-young forgot the original purpose of the story and was terrified, but asked with an unbearable expression.

“That's …. It doesn't really matter. ”

“Oh, yes... Right.”

However, Kang Jun sighed deeply because of that disappointed expression.

“I never let you do that again. ”

“W-we can't.... Did you kill him?”

“No, am I crazy? I left my thumb and calf, cut them all off, and smashed them into pieces. ”

“…… I think that's even crazier, Gangjun. ”

“I almost blew it up, but it was a lot to take in. And I didn't do that either. The other party yelled at me to kill them all, but I didn't die because I stopped them. ”

Whether he was good or bad, Seong-young was rather fascinated by the unknown logic. While working in the Hunter-related industry, Seoyoung did not know much about the periods of hunters, but the world of freelance hunters that crossed the globe was more understandable.

It seemed like a far-off country, so Seoyoung didn't even realize the horror about Gangjun in front of him.

“But then who cut off your finger? ”

“Hmm? Ah... There is such a person. ”

What a bunch of assholes! I'm gonna put my head on the press and smash it in! ’

Kang Jun thought of the blonde knight for a moment. She was in a frenzy at the time, really trying to wipe out those gangsters and garages. Of course, Kang Jun stopped him because he was sure that he would become an international wanted man. In fact, no one was hurt, so I didn't have to.

“Not that it matters, anyway. We know that this can happen deliberately. I've been there once. ”

“Y-you mean to tell me you deliberately gave us broken equipment that month? Isn't that the only thing that could do that? ”

“Have you heard that Ethelsod exploded during use? ”

“No... ”

There are quite a few hunters who die from device failure during combat, but he doesn't remember hearing that Ethelsod exploded. And two other Ethelsods couldn't be tested for explosives. Seo-young stood up with a firm expression.

“I have to guess.”

“Let's just say it's just an old piece of equipment that's broken. ”

It just happened to explode, and we didn't know anything about it. Moreover, Kang Jun carefully examined the remaining two swords and obtained one more piece of information. The workshop control device, of course, left traces of which workshop it was made in.

However, there were no workshop marks on those devices. It was like saying that it wasn't a device they built.

It would have taken a very long time to prove if their mistake was intentional, even if it had gone to trial. Seo-young tilted her head.

“So what do we do? ”

“I'll go myself. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“Return it.”

And Kang Jun smiled.

“I need an exchange. ”

If something happens to you, I'll pay you back twice as much. In the Hunters' world, there were many areas where the law did not reach, and Gangjun was a person who had survived for a long time in a world far away. It was an unlawful negotiation. I remember doing it a lot.

Now I thought we were going to negotiate something that would never be lost.

“Khhhhh…. Phew…."

The head of the Treasury team still didn't know he was going to wake up. After that, I suddenly realized that Kang Jun hasn't even given his full name to Song Team Leader yet. However, Kang Jun seemed like the moment of his birth with that Byungnam would never come.

The next day,

Seo-young gave up her car key and looked at Gangjun anxiously.

“No trouble. Okay?”

“What if I scratch it?”

“I'm in trouble. ”

“Are we done with the scolding? ”

“I'm in a lot of trouble. ”

“I'm scared.... ”

“I'm upset to say that with a face that doesn't scare me at all. Just hurry back. ”

“Yep.”

Although he was a little distracted, Kang Jun was quite impressed that the corporate vehicle was an outsider. As Seo-young said, it seemed to have gone really well in the past, apart from the situation in the company.

The next day, Kang Jun was headed to the workshop 'Hyun-moon' by himself. The workshop was in Hanam, and Kangjun felt uncomfortable, so he packed the shield bracelet as well as the blaster in Ethelsod. The time won't come to use it, but I liked to be prepared.

On Kangjun's business trip, Seoyoung was willing to give up his corporate vehicle, and a medium BMW car took him to his destination with a fairly heavy engine sound.

Hunting devices were often yawns, although some were taken in factories. Some level of equipment was made by hand, so each one was expensive. Above all, each workshop often had its own vision or recipe. It's only been 20 years since the arrival of the monster, but the workshop has already become an industry.

The best way to build a device was to customize it for one person, because each weapon was different in the first place. Of course, low rank hunters are not so easy to use off-the-shelf goods. Custom devices were, of course, enormously expensive and costly.

Workshop 'Hyun-moon' was a large workshop with an off-the-shelf manufacturing process, but also skilled craftsmen. It was a workshop that started small and grew into an enterprise type. Articles of some degree or higher were crafted, and the products below were the way the machine replaced the process.

“Not much further. ”

Kang Jun pulled the box out of the passenger seat after parking. Due to the secret of the workshop, the huge factory was definitely impossible to enter the factory area, and Kang Jun entered the open door and headed to the desk.

“Hello, what brings you here? ”

“Oh, I'm Choi Jun, a manager from Hero Management. ”

In keeping with the staff's kind response, Kang Jun nodded his head. Management made the staff more friendly with clear customers.

“I'd like to meet Jules, is that possible? ”

“Oh, wait a minute, please. ”

The employee phoned somewhere for a while.

“Oh, Senior Kim, yes, someone named Choi Jun from Hero Management came here... Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, I see. ”

The employee showed a frighteningly embarrassing smile.

“Jules is busy right now, so I think you'll have to wait a little longer... ”

“How long do I have to wait? ”

“Oh, I don't know the exact time. ”

Gangjun seemed to recognize this pattern. It was a ploy to keep him waiting and disappear when the time came. If you don't meet a difficult guest, that's it. However, Gangjun was expecting this in the first place. He looked at the employee and said with a single smile.

“Oh, I had a bit of a problem with the weapons I received in the last month, but if I don't do it now, could you please tell me that I would like to discuss the devices in the other workshop? ”

If you ask another workshop about Ethelsod that was made to explode, the result will be obvious. The workshop itself will be known to the press as well as the devastating impact. That's why I couldn't learn unless I met him. The employee then knocked on the phone again, realizing something was serious.
