Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 485: Juyoung Hong (12)

In Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Taesok Oh, who departed from Incheon International Airport and stopped over in Madrid, Spain, arrived at his destination, Freetown in Sierra Leone.

It was quite a long flight for him, but he arrived there without any problem.

But he had a lot of thoughts in his mind because what Juyoung Holg told him was too absurd.

To be honest, he could not simply ignore Juyoung’s order because he had his doubts, so he decided to follow his young boss’s order and finally set foot in Sierra Leone. Of course, he didn’t come here simply because of Juyoung’s order.

‘His eyes…’

His eyes were full of confidence.

Taesok saw it in his young boss’s eyes.

When he stepped through the exit of Freetown Airport, he noticed a placard with his name on it.

[Welcome! Taesok Oh!]

Given his young boss’s capabilities, he could arrange for local people to come and welcome him at the airport with such a placard.

For the Myongjin group is one of the top five business conglomerates in South Korea, and his young boss, Juyoung Hong, was a direct descendant of the Myongjin Group Chairman Sangman Hong.

A considerable number of people were standing behind the placard.

Moreover, the clothes they were wearing were very unusual.

Taesok himself was also an office worker, so he knew how expensive their clothes were because he saw a lot of expensive suits after he was picked as Director Sok’s right-hand man early on. In other words, the price of each suit these people were wearing cost almost several hundreds or more than ten thousand dollars.

There were more than ten people wearing such suits behind the placard.

And all of them were Westerners, which was a rare scene in the heart of Africa.

He approached them to say something, but even before he opened his mouth, they greeted him with welcoming remarks.

“You are Taesok Oh, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Eileo.”

“Nice to meet you too. My name is Taesok Oh.”

“It’s good that there are no Asians here, so it’s easy to notice you. Let us leave from here.”

“Sure.”

Of course, Taesok would not have followed him in a normal situation because he was in Africa, and Sierra Leone at that, where a civil war was still going on.

But his young boss told him that he would be greeted by local people, who actually did.

So although he was a bit startled, he followed them.

But he didn’t know yet that other big surprises were waiting for him.

“What the heck?” he exclaimed when he was told there were no cars around.

He thought he would be escorted to the airport parking lot, but there were no cars there when he arrived. Instead, there were five helicopters.

Eileo beckoned him to get into the helicopter.

That’s why he let out a startled exclamation, but Elieo replied quickly, “Well, our destination is far away. Besides, there are no paved roads outside of Freetown, the capital city.”

“…”

Hearing his explanation, Taesok had no choice but to get aboard the helicopter.

Then he opened his mouth, looking at the other four helicopters on either side of the helicopter he was about to get on.

“Are they flying with us as well?”

The reason he had no choice but to ask such a question was that, except for the helicopter in the center, each of the other four helicopters had one person next to the pilot. All of them were holding the machine guns mounted on the helicopter.

In other words, they were attack helicopters.

Elieo answered, “It’s just in case. They are following us to cover us.”

Even though he was a bit puzzled, Oh got on the helicopter in the middle.

At the same time, he was seriously concerned about his younger boss, Juyoung.

A little later, the helicopter carrying him was flying over a diamond mine.

“You see Canatu Mine over there. It’s one of the best diamond mines in Sierra Leone, or in the world. And it’s also home to 100-carat blue diamonds that are worth almost $50 million.”

“…”

Taesok didn’t say anything when Elieo explained to him because 50 million dollars was equivalent to more than 50 billion Korean Won.

Not caring about his reaction, Elieo kept explaining about other mines as the helicopter flew over them.

“The mine you see over there is called Pilu Mine. Unlike the mine you saw just before, it doesn’t produce any special diamonds, but it is one of the top three mines in the world in terms of production capacity. Moreover, it has a huge amount of diamond reserves.”

“…”

Taesok didn’t say anything even after they flew over the third mine.

Soon they arrived at Rabok, the largest city in northern Sierra Leone.

Elieo said, “The capital city of Freetown is the best place to live in, but I thought it would be better for you to stay here because it is not far from the diamond mines.”

“…”

Taesok didn’t reply this time either because the place proposed for him to stay in was a huge mansion like in movies, which had a vacant lot huge enough to accommodate the landing of as many as five helicopters, as well as a tennis court and a swimming pool.

Elieo continued, “We have contracted a top PMC called Red Wolf, who will provide 100 mercenaries to be stationed here around the clock for security, 100 mercenaries are supposed to be stationed here around the clock for security. In addition, we have been granted autonomy for the entire area, including this mansion, through negotiations with the government forces and the rebels controlling this area. So I think you can treat this place as an embassy with diplomatic privilege or extraterritorial rights.”

Nonetheless, Taesok could not understand the situation at all.

He even pinched his thigh dozens of times to double check if he was dreaming now.

“Let’s go inside. We’ve prepared everything for you, including people who will serve you. Please let me know if you need further assistance or help. I’ll be staying in this area for the time being.”

Anyway, Taesok entered the mansion, walking past many mansion employees who bowed to him. A few hours later, he talked to some people dispatched by Debius, and concluded a contract with them regarding the diamonds.

Of course, Taesok himself was ignorant of diamond trading, but even he could understand that Debius, who had an almost monopoly on the supply and distribution of all diamonds around the world, was making huge concessions.

Anyway, he became used to trading little by little.

Even though he could not understand how they could make such a deal with him, it was happening right before his eyes.

At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘Who the hell are you, Juyoung Hong?’

He knew clearly that the reason why they took such a submissive attitude was not because of him or the Myongjin Group, but because of his young boss Juyoung

Hong.

In Washington, DC at that time.

The vast Atlantic Ocean that exists between the continents of South America and Africa.

The United States, having confirmed the existence of an unidentified object or existence that crossed the vast Atlantic Ocean in just 32 seconds, did not stand still. They mobilized all satellites available at the moment to scan every part of Africa, where the unidentified flying object arrived.

First of all, they started checking the area facing the Atlantic Ocean, and confirmed that there was a superman or someone with superhero-like abilities like those in superhero movies.
