Chapter 143
“Tsk, that sly bastard.”
Seok Jun-yeop, Chief of Staff of the Punitive Expeditionary Force, vented his fury in the room left to him alone.
To cool his boiling rage, he pulled several pieces of sleep-fighting gum from the container and stuffed them into his mouth.
Crunch crunch.
Seok Jun-yeop headed for the sofa where Jeong In-gon had been sitting and leaned his back against it.
The spot where he had sat, chattering for over an hour, still held a lingering warmth.
‘How much did we invest to reproduce that, and now you want to take it all?’
It had been barely three days since the final test of the mana accelerator concluded.
As always, they had poured their hearts into ensuring no results leaked out, conducting the final experiment under strict surveillance.
The result was successful.
They claimed to have created an injection that minimized side effects and reduced physical strain, provided it wasn’t abused.
But Jeong In-gon brought up the matter at just the right moment—however he’d learned of it.
‘Bold bastard. I didn’t expect him to ask for it so bluntly. I knew the Association wasn’t in the best situation either, but I didn’t expect him to speak so boldly.’
Mana accelerator research was classified information within the expeditionary force.
Only a handful of people, including himself, knew about the mana accelerator.
Jung In-gon must have been well aware of that, yet he brought it up as if it were no big deal, making Seok Jun-yeop the one who ended up flustered.
