Success Story of a Master Level Mercenary Chaebol

001: Live and see (1)

All characters, groups, and places in the story have nothing to do with reality.

“If you were given a new life, what kind of life would you like to live?”

asked a mercenary colleague who was retiring due to injury.

It was the funeral of another colleague.

“Well, if I can, I want to be an ordinary office worker. You don’t work as much as you can, and you only get a full paycheck and survive until your full retirement age.”

At Cheol-woo’s grand plan, his colleague laughed brightly.

There was no consolation for him, who was leaving due to an injury, other than this nonsensical joke.

It was just such a joke back then.

By the way···.

Boo Woong!

Startle!

Cheol-woo opened his eyes in surprise at the sudden sound of the engine.

I could feel the fishy smell of the air conditioner on the tip of my nose.

“Won, little guy. Did you just wake up by the sound of the engine? I think I was hurt a lot because I was on duty. I’ll have to give you some medicine or something.”

Jae-young, who took the steering wheel, gave me a pint glass.

At the same time, he looked at his son with pity.

His face, who had just passed his 50s, was young with tiredness, but only his expression was bright.

He, who runs a bakery as a couple, was on a family trip to welcome his son after he was discharged while taking a break from the store.

It would have been great if it hadn’t been for people who went on outings pouring out on the road during the spring holidays.

Still, there was nothing more I could wish for as the whole family was together after a few years.

The mother and daughter in the back seat felt the same way.

Cheolwoo was embarrassed.

He had self-destructed with the enemy leader in a rebel base in the middle of the Middle East desert a while ago.

But when I opened my eyes, I saw my family who had died 9 years ago.

‘Is this the other world?’

I still didn’t know what it was.

But seeing the family faded even in my memories, my eyes reddened involuntarily.

“Oh, brother, are you crying now? Have you ever had a scary dream?”

A 17-year-old author asked.

He was a younger brother that he almost raised and raised on behalf of his parents who worked at the store.

“Hey, is that what you’re going to say to your brother who has gone to the military? I just go to sleep and wake up.”

Soyeon looked at the author and scolded her.

I was always worried that if I didn’t pay attention like this, a talkable girl would climb to the top of my brother’s head.

The place where Cheol-woo sat was the passenger seat of an old Sonata.

It was a high-end used car that Jae-young bought at a low price through a friend.

Cheol-woo turned his upper body and looked at the back seat.

The family I missed so much was sitting there.

Soyeon’s perm hair, which she had always seen since she was young, caught my eye.

Her desire to save money for haircuts and give more money to her children created such an image.

Next to him was Ji-eun, who was holding the snacks he had bought at the service station in his mouth like a squirrel and muttering.

He rolled his eyes and showed great curiosity at his unfamiliar brother’s actions.

happy.

Even if this was a fleeting fantasy, I was just grateful.

I didn’t even know that the so ordinary daily life of such an ordinary family was happiness.

then···.

After losing his family in an absurd car accident and being left alone, he realized how happy he was.

But by then it was already too late.

The engine roar was heard again.

But this time it wasn’t the sound of the family’s car.

It was a highway with a lot of cars rushing through it, probably because there had been an accident in front of it.

In such a situation, a sports car was running madly along the emergency shoulder.

Seeing the dot-sized object reflected in the side mirror, goosebumps rose from Cheol-woo’s back.

That crazy sports car catches a car trying to sneak off the shoulder and causes a series of crashes. The aftermath extended to the vehicle the family was in, becoming a major accident.

Three family members died in the accident, and he had to undergo a year of rehabilitation at the hospital.

And to die, he roamed the deserts of the Middle East as a mercenary.

A sense of urgency, along with a sense of dizziness, swept over my body.

But his body was not tense.

The experience of rolling the desert as a mercenary for 8 years was helpful in this case.

“Father, no…”

Jaeyoung, who is still unaware of the situation, slowly stepped on the accelerator as the congestion was relieved.

As the distance from the car in front widened a little, it was time to start driving in earnest.

[danger! Signs of a vehicle attack from the right rear direction.]

A warning voice echoed in his head.

‘Warriors?’

It was a familiar voice.

It was the voice of the ‘Warrior’, a ‘nano-material combat support AI system’ planted by the US Department of Defense just before the last operation.

It is a prototype of the combat support system that the Ministry of Defense has been developing secretly with astronomical money and 20 years of time.

Because of the risk of the operation and the value of the hostage, it was a nanochip that was forcibly planted in the head of the operation team just before completion to increase the probability of success.

[Warning, 88% chance of being hit 5 seconds after the first car crash]

As always, the risk was informed with a clear prediction rate.

It took me a while to get used to this guy, but after I got used to it, my combat fatigue dropped dramatically.

In a hurry, Cheol-woo loosened the seat belt that restricts the radius of action and broke the handle that Jae-young was holding to the left.

It was in the middle of changing lanes to enter the IC leading to the destination.

Quang!

A sports car that did not slow down was hit by a vehicle protruding onto the shoulder and bounced off the guard rail.

Even so, the speed did not die and he continued to run in a zigzag while hitting the cushion like a billiard ball.

[4, 3, 2, 1, until collision.]

In the meantime, the Warrior informed me of the timing of the collision as if relaying.

It was the moment when Jae-young put on a bewildered expression as he saw Cheol-woo suddenly breaking the steering wheel.

Fortunately, he did not completely complete the lane change and did not hit the rear of the vehicle directly.

Originally, the crash should have caused the family’s vehicle to bounce forward, break through a guardrail, and fall down the IC’s overpass.

But this time it wasn’t a direct hit, so it didn’t jump out in the same direction.

Instead, the impact hit the rear of the vehicle ahead and the fuselage began to rotate.

Good profit!

pop!

The tires smelled of burning rubber and skid marks were placed on the asphalt.

At the same time, the old car’s airbag went off.

At that time, the airbag in the driver’s seat did not deploy, and Jaeyoung died on the spot.

The airbag in the passenger seat exploded and only Cheol-woo could save his life, but this time the damn airbag made it difficult to hold onto the frantically spinning steering wheel.

Jaeyoung was unconscious because he had banged his head on the steering wheel when the car crashed into the rear.

Still, Cheol-woo quickly supported his chest with one arm and did not receive a serious blow.

Awesome profit!

The sound of a car turning pierced my ears.

The wheels were still spinning loudly.

I looked under the driver’s seat and saw Jaeyoung’s feet resting on the accelerator.

His weight-bearing feet on the steering wheel were pressing deep on the accelerator.

‘damn!’

The wheels roared and the car continued to slide.

He struggled to get out of the passenger seat and approached the driver’s seat, avoiding the airbag.

Both the mother and daughter in the back seat had lost their minds.

He suffered serious injuries after the fall because the seat belt in the back seat was broken, and he died on the way to the hospital.

“Never this time…”

He bit his molars. He moved his left foot and hit Jaeyoung’s foot, who was stepping on the accelerator.

The car lost power, but the sliding force remained the same.

Cheol-woo quickly turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the front of the vehicle.

Then, the foot continuously hit the brake like crazy.

It was the vehicle control technology I learned during my mercenary education.

It is often known that mercenaries only shoot guns, but most of the mercenary work was done with elemental security.

The most important point of success for factor security was how well the mercenaries were handling vehicles.

Most of the raids on the factor occurred during vehicle movement.

When security was at its weakest, it was common practice to block the front and rear of the vehicle and shoot like mad.

Bulletproof vehicles or trucks with steel plates were usually used for such security, but they had no talent to withstand bullets coming from all directions.

From the security standpoint, it was more important to leave the accident site than to counterattack, and how well you handle the vehicle at that time was the most important.

“You will do enough for one person.”

Jeff, who taught Cheol-woo when he was a chick, said while looking at his driving skills.

Driving skills were so important to the mercenaries.

The life of the customer as well as the co-workers was in the hands of the one holding the steering wheel.

Knowing when to jump out and when to stop, and knowing the direction to detect the surrounding situation, I was able to earn the trust of my colleagues.

Fit geek!

When the steering wheel is turned in the opposite direction to the direction in which the front of the vehicle is facing, the sliding angle of the vehicle is significantly reduced.

ride on and on!

At the same time manually pumped the brakes.

Stepping on it several times like this has a better braking effect than stepping on it for a long time at once.

There were many people who believed only in ABS in the rain and went to the goal.

Safety is always lacking no matter how advanced technology is.

The fuselage of the car, which had lost its center for a short moment, regained its center.

Now, if you continue to press the brake, the vehicle will come to a stop.

[Warning, additional collision probability 90%]

Then, the Warrior again warned of danger.

boo boo!

Just as the car was about to center, the crazy sports car caught the guardrail and rushed back towards it.

The expensive engine of a sports car still didn’t want to stop.

The center of gravity he had barely grasped was disturbed by another collision and rushed towards the guard rail of the IC.

“Damn it!”

The curse came out of nowhere.

This is a battlefield, and if he had a gun, he would have pulled the driver out of the car and punched a bullet hole in his forehead.

But now it wasn’t a priority.

Cheol-woo quickly turned the steering wheel.

The car kept pushing forward as it received another vehicle that was pushed into the collision and skidded.

If it goes like this, it was clear that it would be pushed out of the guardrail and fall under the overpass.

I had to stop it somehow.

Even if this was a dream, I never wanted to lose my family again.

And Cheol-woo had the power to do that.

After numerous collisions, he calmly turned the steering wheel in accordance with the changing direction.

Still, I did my best to control the brakes.

profit!

thud!

Finally, the car collided with the guardrail at the entrance of the overpass exiting the interchange.

However, since the side that collided with the guard rail was the side of the vehicle, it did not fall under the bridge due to impact.

“Huh!”

When the vehicle stopped, Cheol-woo took a deep breath without realizing it.

He was also nervous that much, and he was extremely nervous.

He took his hand off the steering wheel of the stopped car and sat under the driver’s seat.

His shoulders and sides, which had absorbed the shock of the collision and received his weight, were sore and sore.

[Shoulder and flank damage is 26%. There is no problem with the function.]

The Warrior informed the extent of his injury.

At that moment, the suspicion that he might have returned turned into certainty.

“Warriors?”

[Tell me, Bay.]

Bay was his code name.

Abbreviation for vagrant. It means wanderer.

“Tell me the status of your family.”

[Are you talking about the survivors in the vehicle?]

“okay!”

[All three are currently unconscious due to a shock to the neck or head. There is less than 12% chance of internal bleeding or serious conditions.]

In my experience, this was enough to be reassuring.

Warriors always take their odds conservatively based on the worst case scenario.

“Huh! What is the current date?”

[Weighing! Searching for available frequencies around you. 18 available frequencies found. The current time is 2:13:35 PM on May X, 202X.]

“········”

He was right.

It was true that Cheol-woo returned to 9 years ago.

Also with the Warrior….
