Used to be with the U.S. Army,Former secretary to U.S. Defense Secretary Janet G. Harper,After the contract ended, he was recruited as Vice President of Citadel, a security company contracted with the Think Tank.So... what does he do?

"Maybe Eugene was in Hollywood instead of a special forces unit."

"I’m sure I went through something similar during the Rochester incident… is this déjà vu?"

"I think I know what you mean. Did you meet a friend working in a secret place? Let me guess... They were wearing a long suit coat?"

"Wow, what? You knew that? And you can speak Korean too!?"

"I studied a little, but don’t expect much. Just understand that much."

4 PM, Songdo.

Inside Expo Building A, far from the crowd outside, five people gathered on the balcony of a restricted area. Edwin Butterkins, the lieutenant colonel, smiling leisurely as expected, Dice and the team looking confused, and me wondering what to do in this situation.

It didn’t really matter to us that people were crowding around. People have been interested in my every move countless times before. Besides, Edwin’s face was one that wouldn’t draw unwanted attention either.

Special forces members are usually praised for being masculine and handsome, so that wasn’t unusual either.

That being said, I quickly searched through Icarus Gear. Unlike Kissinger, this person was fairly well-known for his career and public profile. His position during his service was naturally secret, but it didn’t matter.

Anyway, I had to mention this to explain it simply to Dice and the viewers.

"Let me introduce this person... Edwin Serkins, he was the lieutenant colonel in my former squad, and until recently, he served as the secretary to the U.S. Secretary of Defense. Now he’s moved to a different role. In short, he’s one of my acquaintances."

"Oh, that… Nice to meet you. Since you said you speak Korean, I’ll talk comfortably. I’m Dice, a professional gamer for Dark Zone Apex Predator."

"Of course, everyone knows. Thanks to Eugene, I’ve heard a lot. I don’t know the last guy, but I have a general idea of the situation. Anyway, here, take this."

"A... business card?"

"I don’t usually carry business cards... Oh my."

"It’s okay. Just keep it. If you need security services later, consider me."

"Stop trying to make a sale here, Serkins."

I knew he had been recruited as Vice President of Citadel, but I didn’t expect him to suddenly offer a business card.

Anyway, I gave him a short greeting and told the viewers not to advertise. This guy was always trying to gain something.

"Did you come here to check humanoid performance?"

"Just the catalog specs and videos weren’t enough. I came to see your face as an excuse for a business trip... But there are a lot of people like me, so it’s probably going to be awkward for you."

"You’re aware that I bring trouble wherever I go."

"Not you, you fool."

From his point of view, it was probably a one-time thing, but for me, this was already the third time meeting someone like him. Soon, Marcus and Rapier from Blaze Company would arrive too.

The meeting place seemed to be getting more and more real, as I had jokingly said before.
