God of Blackfield

Chapter 134.2: We Should Go (1)

Jeon Dae-Geuk’s emotions seemed all over the place, but Kang Chan wasn’t worried since he had see how level-headed Dae-Geuk could be.

“If they entrust you with the position of the Founder of the Eurasian Rail, just pretend that you can’t win against them and take on the role,” Jeon Dae-Geuk said.

See? Jeon Dae-Geuk already seemed to have come to his senses.

“Take on a position. Having someone that represents South Korea will become something extremely important later on. It’s something that you have to do if you want to properly reward those that follow you as well,” Jeon Dae-Geuk continued.

“I’ll think about it.”

“Please soar higher than I or the President has done. You have to make sure that people will remember you first before anyone else when someone from South Korea runs into danger on foreign soil. Please make sure the agents can smile as they’re dying because they know you’re there for them. I’ll also try my best.”

Jeon Dae-Geuk was going too far, but it was difficult to say anything else here.

Jeon Dae-Geuk had burst out with laughter like a crazy person and applied pressure to his wounds twice before they left the room.

It was already close to 11 pm.

On his way home, Kang Chan watched the scenery unfolding outside the window.

Everything was now starting.

I’ll make the Intelligence Bureaus all around the world acknowledge the ‘God of Blackfield.’ If someone messes with those around me, then the god who brings death is bound to appear.?

Was it childish? Kang Chan wondered if people could still say that in death.

Kang Chan started his Monday morning with a phone call from Jeon Dae-Geuk.

He told Kang Chan that he had arranged a first-class training area near Jeungpyeong, and that he would prepare the special forces soldiers of the DMZ, the Third Airborne Forces, and the members of the 606 at the date that Kang Chan chose.

Things were progressing amazingly.

But the problem was Seok Kang-Ho’s condition.

Kang Chan called Seok Kang-Ho and headed to a cafe in Misari.

“How are you feeling?” Kang Chan asked.

“Strangely, my wound keeps opening up.” Seok Kang-Ho looked annoyed.

“Remember when I met Lanok yesterday?” Kang Chan explained what had happened yesterday, then told Seok Kang-Ho his plans for the future as well.

“Phuhu, so you’re saying that we’re going to an operation?” Seok Kang-Ho asked afterward. He had laughed with an expression that was completely different from a moment ago.

“I’m going to test them. Those who fail won’t be able to join.”

“Isn’t that only natural?”

“Since we’re going to make the teams by units, each team will have a maximum of twelve people. We also have to get a good sniper. You should take two snipers in this training session,” Kang Chan said, then frowned while looking at the river in the distance.

“What’s wrong?” Seok Kang-Ho asked.

“I don’t know. I feel uncomfortable, but I can’t pinpoint what’s causing it.”

Whenever Kang Chan said something like this, Seok Kang-Ho took it seriously. “Are you not concerned about your parents?”

“I told Choi Jong-Il to frequently check on them.”

“Who else? Won’t they kidnap Smithen again?” Seok Kang-Ho asked.

“I heard that he’s in the hospital. I told the agents to keep Smithen there. Even if he gets discharged, the agents guarding him right now will keep taking care of him.”

“What about Ambassador Lanok?” Seok Kang-Ho asked again.

“He wasn’t in a very good mood when we parted ways, which bothered me. The look in his eyes was a bit weird as well. It felt like something was wrong, but he was hiding it.”

“That’s a major concern. What about Mi-Young or that lady Michelle? Won’t they target those two as well?”

“I don’t know. At any rate, the people around me will be watched over starting today. They even said that last time, the agents will start protecting Mi-Young. Argh! I feel like I’m going to suffocate. We have to know what’s going on before we can run over or something!”

Seok Kang-Ho nodded in agreement. He had been closest to Kang Chan at times like this, so he could understand Kang Chan much better than anyone else.

“I’m thinking of starting the training on Wednesday. We’ll both make our own teams, but we should get our members from the 606 and the special forces soldiers of the DMZ. Let’s choose the defense soldiers from the Third Airborne Forces,” Kang Chan said.

“Alright.”

Seok Kang-Ho understood him whenever he was giving orders about the operation, which was really nice.

“You don’t regret getting involved in this, do you?” Kang Chan asked.

“Why are you asking that? I have the will to live now because of this. I’m happy, Captain. Phuhuhu.”

Kang Chan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

There was something pitiful about a guy grinning and talking about happiness despite their eyes being filled with bloodthirst.

But still, Kang Chan having a colleague like this was incredible.

After having lunch at Misari, Kang Chan and Seok Kang-Ho headed to Kim Hyung-Jung’s office in Samseong-dong.

They didn’t have to tell Kim Hyung-Jung since Jeon Dae-Geuk had already briefed him on what they were planning.

Kim Hyung-Jung found it very unfair that his wounds still hadn’t properly healed.

Kang Chan would lead Team 1, which would consist of eleven personnel, and Team 2 would have twelve members, including Seok Kang-Ho.

With the list of applicants in their hands, Kang Chan and Seok Kang-Ho each chose their team members. Kang Chan included Choi Jong-Il, Woo Hee-Seung, and Lee Doo-Hee in his team.

“Mr. Kang Chan, the Director wants me to tell you something,” Kim Hyung-Jung said.

After preparing everything, Kim Hyung-Jung, who was sitting at the table with an IV in his arm, looked at Kang Chan. “If by any chance there’s an emergency, the Director said that you should use him as an excuse and that you should take care of the issue as something that he has personally ordered you to do.”

Kang Chan thought that South Korea got connected to the Eurasian Rail thanks to people like them.

“Alright,” Kang Chan answered. He and Kim Hyung-Jung were both thinking that an emergency where he would have to act like that was not going to happen.

***

Kang Chan had a busy day, but it wasn’t even 6 pm yet when he returned home because it was around that time that Monday-to-Tuesday dramas aired.

He still had this uncomfortable feeling, which bothered him, but there wasn’t really anything that he could do about it.

Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook hadn’t arrived home from work yet.

Kang Chan quickly washed up and got changed. Just as he was walking out of his room, the front door opened, and his parents entered the apartment.

“Welcome home,” Kang Chan greeted.

“You’re home early,” Kang Dae-Kyung said.

“Yes. You two must be tired.”

“Not anymore since I’ve seen you,” Yoo Hye-Sook replied. She actually looked happy that he was at home.

After Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook got changed, the three of them prepared dinner, which consisted of soup, refrigerated side dishes, and dried seaweed.

“Starting this Wednesday, I might stay at Jeungpyeong for a few days,” Kang Chan told his parents.

“Jeungpyeong? Why are you going to Jeungpyeong?” Kang Dae-Kyung asked.

“I heard they’re holding something like a workshop for government employees there. I’ll be meeting people that I will probably be working with, and I’ll also check out the tasks I’ll be doing.”

“Have you decided to work there?”

“Yes. Since it’s something that I have to do anyway, I’ve decided to give it my all instead of constantly trying to avoid it.”

“That’s not bad.” Kang Dae-Kyung nodded.

They ate dinner while consoling Yoo Hye-Sook, who was worried. Kang Dae-Kyung did the dishes, and Kang Chan prepared tea.

“The drama is airing today, right?” Kang Dae-Kyung asked. He went to the living room while drying his hands on the kitchen towel.

It was strange seeing Kang Dae-Kyung acting like this—not only did Kang Chan not watch TV that often, but he had also never seen men taking an interest in dramas before.

When the drama started, the three of them sat down and conversed for a few more moments.

Eun So-Yeon filled her role quite well. Kang Chan immediately liked how steadfast she looked while overcoming her hardships.

“Oh my! She’s really in the drama!” Yoo Hye-Sook exclaimed. In the middle of the drama, the daughter of Yoo Hye-Sook’s friend appeared.

Even Kang Chan thought she wasn’t suited to play a lead role, but her scene at least swiftly passed by without any awkwardness.

Yoo Hye-Sook’s phone rang before the end of the drama.

“I saw her. She looked really pretty. Why are you thanking me? Okay, sweetie.”

Yoo Hye-Sook received phone calls from a few more people. She looked happy.

The drama ended while Kang Chan was thinking that he would protect their happiness.

Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—. Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—. Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—.

Kang Chan’s phone, which was on top of his desk, started ringing. He quickly went into his room.

- Channy, did you watch the drama?

“Yeah. I watched it with my parents at home.”

- If it’s okay with you, then let’s go out for a beer.

“Sure, let’s have a drink.”

Promising to meet Michelle, Kang Chan headed out to the living room. He parted ways with her last Saturday quite awkwardly.

“I’ll be meeting up with Michelle for a bit,” Kang Chan told his parents.

“It seems she wants to meet you because the drama has ended. Have fun.”

After talking to Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook, Kang Chan got changed, then told them, “I’ll be back.”

Michelle had said that she would pick him up at his house.

Kang Chan headed outside, then called and checked on the security. They reported nothing unusual.
