I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 185 [ Anne (2) ]

Elkani glared at the awakened person wearing sunglasses.

The face behind the sunglasses was not even similar to the face I saw the day I left Syria. But Elkani knew. There couldn’t be another awakened person who gave off that kind of vibe.

It was clear that the reason the face looked different was because of the mana stone equipment.

Memories of Syria arose in Elkani’s mind. A friend abandoned and a house blown up.

Omar became a ball of fire in her dreams and continued to resent her. I thought I had finally erased it from my memory… but it wasn’t a memory that could be erased.

As Elkani’s expression darkened, Lewis immediately opened his mouth.

“I guess you knew our agent?”

“I saw it in Syria.”

Lewis could see why Elkani’s expression darkened.

I received a report that they had sent awakeners to EV during the Syrian operation, but I never thought we would meet again in a place like this.

Lewis clicked his tongue inwardly. I brought her here to act as a bodyguard and demonstrate my skills, but this only ended up hurting me.

“I heard that Elkani was rude in Syria. “I will apologize on your behalf.”

The U.S. government and himself were equally affected by Elkani, but there was no reason to reveal that in an event like this.

Kyung-hoon laughed at Louis’ words.

The U.S. government didn’t know about Omar. Elkani was the only one who knew about Omar.

‘And did she know that Omar had died in the explosion that day?’

Then, I thought it would be better to match the rhythm over there.

“it’s okay. EV respects the choices of the awakened person.”

James stood up immediately. Kyung-hoon sat down where James had been sitting, and James said hello to Kyung-hoon and left the office.

Lewis was able to tell the rank of the two by looking at them. The areas may be different, but in any case, it was clear that the newly awakened person had a higher rank.

‘He is an awakened person with a higher status than a spokesperson. ‘I’m talking about a leader level.’

It was a better situation for Lewis.

However, what the other person said did not sound very good.

“I have heard everything so far. I also heard the U.S. government saying it would neglect Japan, and I also heard threats against Representative James. And even the fugitives’ request for an alliance.”

Lewis’ face hardened.

There was no political content in the other person’s words. Pressure was taken as a threat and warnings were ignored. And even words that ignore them.

If you went to Syria, it was clear that you would have been awakened to battle. It may be that he couldn’t talk back because he was a combat awakener, but that doesn’t mean he spoke so directly. There was no way this could be a story.

“It’s difficult to take this as a threat. Are you really thinking of giving up on the EV US branch?”

Lewis was disappointed that CEO James was not present. If done well, separation could have been possible.

Kyung-hoon raised his eyebrows at Louis’ words.

“Who said you were giving up?”

Lewis sighed. There was no way to communicate at all.

The conversation was already half-wrong. Lewis decided to take one last stab.

“Once the U.S. government finds out the truth, they won’t just let it go. “We won’t be able to escape like the fugitives did.”

“Why do you think you can’t do it?”

Kyung-hoon actually questioned him back. Kyunghoon didn’t stop there.

“As you know, EV is not an organization that stands idly by. It doesn’t matter whether it’s you, Japan, or the United States. Anyone who wants to attack us will have to be prepared to be destroyed.”

hook!

Suddenly a wind rose in the room. The wind was blowing from Gyeonghoon.

‘Is this some kind of attack?’

Louis looked back at Elkani at the sudden phenomenon.

Elkani was looking at Kyung-hoon with a white face.

‘Such mana…’

Although Lewis didn’t know, Elkany could tell what the blowing wind was.

Mana’s life was a tangible wind. You can make it possible to feel the immaterial mana itself. It was an unbelievable amount of mana and control ability.

Elkani has awakened twice since coming to the United States. After that, she was thought to have become one of the world’s greatest awakeners.

But he was just a frog in the well.

Elkani seemed to know who Helmet Man was. There couldn’t be another person with this kind of power.

“It’s time for an appointment. “Everyone is waiting.”

She could barely get the promised words out. Lewis’ expression hardened after hearing her words.

What she said was something she decided to say ‘when it was impossible to protect him even for a moment.’

It seems that they misunderstood EV’s capabilities.

“It’s a shame. Let’s talk again once we’re settled in. And I will leave the things about CEO James and this investment company as a gift,”

he said condescendingly and stood up.

“I will not send you off separately.”

He smiled bitterly at Kyung-hoon’s unfamiliar greeting and immediately left the room.

Elkani followed him and stopped in front of the door. She turned and asked Kyung-hoon.

“Have you by any chance been to my house after I left?”

It was about a house in Syria that was blown up after she left.

Of course, she had been there and barely escaped the explosion alive.

“I wonder if there was something…”

She couldn’t finish the sentence. She

shook her head. How on earth was it coming now? What did she want to know? She didn’t even understand why she said it. -Is it

because of guilt?

Eve came up with a good reason, but Kyung-hoon didn’t want to know the reason.

But he had something to give her. Kyung-hoon put his ring-wearing hand into his inner pocket. He activated the mana ring with his palm open.

Suddenly.

A heavy object fell into his inner pocket. He took the object out of his pocket.

It was a statue.

As he was leaving the house, he picked up the bundle that Omar had brought with him. One object. The moment she and her family left, she tried to ignore it, but in the end, she had no choice but to keep it in her arms. It

was a statue of the Elkani family.

When Omar started making a new family statue, he handed this statue to Kyung-hoon.

‘Just in case . Please tell Elkani when you see him.’

It was time to grant the request.

Kyung-hoon handed over the statue.

Elkani stared blankly at the statue in her palm.

It was a statue she knew very well. Elkani and her family were all represented in the small piece.

This statue. There was only one person inside.

Her hands began to shake.

“How can I…”

But Kyung-hoon didn’t answer.

It was when she was about to ask again.

“Agent Anne!”

Lewis’ angry voice came from outside the door:

“Ah!”

Only then did Elkani seem to come to his senses.

She looked at Kyung-hoon while holding the statue.

“thank you.”

She put her right hand to her heart, bowed one last time, and left the room.

-You may notice that Omar is alive.

“You might think you found it in a burned down house. “Anyway, that’s what Omar wanted.”

Now is the time to worry about each and every one of those things.

-What did Omar have in mind when he asked you to tell him this? Is it revenge? Is it pity? Did it mean disconnection?

Eve questioned human behavior for the first time in a long time. But this was something that even Kyung-hoon found difficult to answer.

“well. “You probably don’t know either?”

-Is that so… I think I know what you mean.

Kyung-hoon smiled slightly at Eve’s answer. This was because it seemed that there was no need to understand humans any more.

“By the way, I was going to test the portal installation, but things overlapped like this.”

-Once the portal is activated, there will be no problem with the withdrawal of U.S. branch personnel.

What Kyung-hoon said to Louis was not empty words. Kyung-hoon was confident that all the members of the American branch would escape.

“More than that, if the United States turns a blind eye like this, the Korean government will be sweating.”

-What are you going to do? Will you help me?

“I guess so, right? “I need to change the order of my visits.”

I was planning to wait for Isabelle’s training to finish before going to New York, but it seemed like I should stop by somewhere else first.

***

As Kyung-hoon expected, the Blue House was screaming at the U.S. government’s ignorance.

The Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs was bringing up this very story at a national security meeting held in the Blue House basement situation room.

“From what I found out, it seems like the United States is trying to remain neutral in the dispute between Korea and Japan.”

“It looks like they will no longer sell weapons or provide information to either country.”

The Chief of Staff’s face contorted at the Vice Minister’s words.

“It is true that we are losing in the information war, but we cannot fight a war if the import of weapons is blocked! Don’t you know which country’s standards our country’s weapons system is now? “If we use up all the supplies we have, even if the plane takes off, it won’t be able to fire a single missile!”

The National Assembly member, who became the new Chief of Staff, asked cautiously.

“Isn’t the situation the same in Japan?”

The Minister of Defense shook his head.

“It looks like Japan has already imported it. And Japan has a different rate of localization of weapons than Korea. “I made fun of them for using expensive weapons to increase the rate of domestic production, but I never thought it would turn out like this.”

The President sighed. My head didn’t hurt anymore, but the suffering wasn’t over.

“Is it irreplaceable?”

There was no good answer to the president’s question.

“It is possible to replace it to some extent by working hard. However, we cannot repair key parts of advanced weapons such as the F23. The same goes for Global Hawk… If the war prolongs even a little, it will be fatal.”

There was enough money to pour into the short-term war, but what came after was the problem.

War was already a fait accompli. Japan was complaining day after day, asking to open the door to the continent like it did during the Japanese invasions of Korea, and was blaming Korea for the damage from this wave to quell the complaints directed at the government.

Now the Japanese government can no longer back down.

A minister cautiously expressed his opinion.

“Could it be possible for Korea and Japan to negotiate to dig an undersea tunnel? You don’t know how many years or even decades it will take to be completed. I think we can buy some time…”

“It’s already too late. The stability of undersea tunnels is being questioned due to the emergence of monsters moving underground. “Well, it has become a situation where things don’t make sense, but now we live in an age where correct opinions are meaningless.”

Everyone in the conference room became anxious at the Minister of Foreign Affairs’ answer.

It was a war that was unlikely to be lost with the help of neighboring countries, even if the United States interfered like that, but when I thought about the damage that would occur during the war, I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Isn’t there somewhere that can provide support?”

In response to the president’s tired voice, the new Minister of National Security and Planning cautiously opened his mouth.

“EV said they would provide support, but…”

“It’s a war between countries. “How can something like an awakened weapon help?”

The Chief of Staff shook his head, but he continued speaking in an uncertain voice. Anyway, I couldn’t help but talk about EV’s proposal.

“They say it’s a weapon of war…”

“Huh?”

Everyone looked at the Minister of National Security and Planning.

***

Gyeonghoon looked at the entrance to the fortress, which was blocked by a huge iron gate.

America’s last fortress nestled on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The Military Satellite Control Center and Strategic Defense Command was spread out before Kyung-Hoon’s eyes.

“Now then, shall we go take a look at America’s strategic assets?”

Kyung-hoon walked towards the tightly closed fortress.

In one hand he was holding a three-pointed sword, and in the other he was holding a nuclear bag taken from the White House basement.
