God of Blackfield

Chapter 191.2: You Want To Go, Don’t You? (2)

Kang Chan sat by the access road of the makeshift city.

Seok Kang-Ho, Kim Hyung-Jung, and Kwak Cheol-Ho were next to him. Jeon Dae-Geuk and Kim Tae-Jin waited for them in the office.

This was why it was scary to genuinely care about people.

Kang Chan didn’t know how much time had passed.

“Mr. Kang Chan, we should leave now,” Kim Hyung-Jung said. If it wasn’t for him, Kang Chan wouldn’t have moved from his position at all until the sun went down.

When they went down the mountain path, the soldiers sitting in front of the barracks stood up.

Kang Chan looked at each of them. “I’ll be out of the country for a short while. While I’m away, you better focus on becoming the strongest special forces in the world.”

With dark expressions, the soldiers focused on him. contemporary romance

“Let’s make sure nobody will ever be able to mess with our people again. Become so strong that you can kill whoever or whatever organization dares hurt those we care about,” Kang Chan continued.

“When are you coming back?” one of the men asked.

“In six months.”

“We won’t stop training until death comes for us. We’re going to make sure we share our combat experiences with the others.” Kwak Cheol-Ho answered with determination.

Kang Chan nodded. “I can trust you all, can’t I?”

“The results you’ll return to in six months will answer that.”

That marked the end of their conversation. He never had to say a lot whenever he was talking to them.

“Do any of you have cigarettes?” Kang Chan asked.

Kwak Cheol-Ho took out a cigarette, and Yoon Sang-Ki held up his lighter. All of them began to smoke as if something bad was going to happen if they didn’t.

Afterward, Kang Chan headed into the barracks. Jeon Dae-Geuk and Kim Tae-Jin greeted him.

“Would you like some coffee?” Kim Tae-Jin offered.

“Yes please, if there’s instant coffee.”

The adjutant made and served Kang Chan, Seok Kang-Ho, and Kim Hyung-Jung some coffee.

“Do you feel a bit better now?” Jeon Dae-Geuk asked Kang Chan.

“Yes.”

Jeon Dae-Geuk reached over and patted Kang Chan’s shoulder.

The moment Kang Chan got home, he tried his best to brush off his emotions.

He wasn’t trying to forget them, but he didn’t want to go around with glinting eyes like when he failed to save one of the chicks back in Africa. Hence, he engraved his feelings in his heart instead, firmly solidifying his resolve to never let something like this happen again.

He ran like crazy the next morning. Fortunately, that helped him relieve a bit of his frustrations.

“Haah. Haah.”

In the past, Kang Chan’s capabilities dramatically increased whenever he lost a chick or crew member. He would always think, ‘If only I focused a little bit more,’ and, ‘If only I fired first.’

Those thoughts made him grit his teeth and pounce on his enemies.

Kang Chan bent over and put his hands on his knees. As he gasped for breath, someone approached him and held out a bottle of water.

Kang Chan glanced up, finding Woo Hee-Seung standing in front of him. He wordlessly took the bottle of water and drank it.

“I heard that the soldiers have started to train,” Woo Hee-Seung said.

“You even report things like that?”

“Kwak Cheol-Ho called me earlier. He was worried that you went home before you could process your emotions yesterday and told me to tell you that we’re going to complete our training. We won’t ever give up, so you shouldn’t worry.”

Damn it! Why is this place full of people who were hard to come by even once every two years back in Africa? They should just be selfish and cold so I wouldn’t have to care about them.

“Our team leader, Choi Jong-Il, called me as well. He told me to be prepared to die if even a small problem occurs because we failed to guard you properly. It seems he called all of the agents assigned to you and told them the same thing,” Woo Hee-Seung added.

“He’s worrying about the wrong people,” Kang Chan commented, then laughed heartily. People like them made him want to do his best to make South Korea a powerful country.

“Have you had breakfast yet?” Kang Chan asked.

Woo Hee-Seung smiled as if he just heard a funny joke.

“Find out if any of our fallen soldiers’ families need any help,” Kang Chan ordered.

The morning and evening winds were quite cold now, so he quickly cooled down.

“I’ll look into it.”

Kang Chan nodded in response. He then headed up to his apartment.

As part of his routine, Kang Chan showered and had breakfast with his parents.

Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook had just recently gone back to work, so they still seemed worried and slightly excited about it.

“Is something wrong? You don’t look so good,” Kang Dae-Kyung told Kang Chan.

“I probably just over-exhausted myself earlier while I was working out.”

“Channy! You can get sick from over-exerting yourself! You have less than ten days before you go to France, you know!” Yoo Hye-Sook scolded.

“I’ll be more careful.”

Being with people whom he loved made life quite nice.

“Right! Channy, before you go to France, why don’t you invite Michelle over for lunch or dinner?” Yoo Hye-Sook asked.

“You want me to invite Michelle over?”

“Yes. I’d like to thank her and return the favor for buying us cake a while back.”

“She told me a few days ago that she’s planning to have a vacation abroad with the DI employees and outsourced talents once the drama has ended. I doubt she’ll find the time to eat with us,” Kang Chan replied, quickly nipping her suggestion in the bud.

Yoo Hye-Sook seemed upset about it, but he had no choice but to do it since Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook looked as if they were starting to make their own conclusions about his relationship with Michelle.

“You just got back to work after quite some time off. Aren’t you two tired?” Kang Chan asked.

“Not at all. I actually like being back in the office probably because I get to go outside again after being indoors for so long,” Yoo Hye-Sook said.

After having breakfast, Kang Chan and Kang Dae-Kyung cleared the table and washed the dishes.

“Drive safe,” Kang Chan told his parents.

“We will, Channy!”

“We’ll be back.”

Kang Chan only had a few days left to say goodbye to his parents and see them off to work. He would certainly see them again once his training in France was done. Nevertheless, ever since he reincarnated, he had only been with them for six months, yet he already had to be away from them for the next six months.

Will things become awkward if I leave home for that long?

Kang Chan was on his way to his room when his phone rang.

Lanok really had a knack for calling him at the right time.

“Hello?”

- Mr. Kang Chan, Ethan has asked me to check your schedule. Do you have some time to spare tomorrow?

“Yes. I’m free all day tomorrow, so please feel free to choose the best time for you.”

- I’ll schedule a meeting with him tomorrow, then. British people don’t know the depth of food, so let’s have tea at around four in the afternoon. Ethan is a wicked man, so it would do us good to just listen to what he had to say.

Lanok sounded as if he was smiling as he spoke on the phone.

“Please let me know once you have agreed on a time.

- You should still come to the embassy at four.

“Noted.”

Kang Chan didn’t know why Ethan wanted to meet with him but thought that it probably wasn’t to talk about a very heavy topic. He could just be planning to talk about what happened in France and then boast about how he helped Kang Chan rescue Lanok.

Why are Vasili and Ludwig being so cautious around Ethan, though?

Kang Chan decided to get an answer to that during his meeting with him tomorrow.

Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—. Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—. Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—.

Who is it now?

Kang Chan looked at his phone.

“Michelle? What’s up?”

- Channy, the drama is ending today, so we plan to watch the finale together and have dinner after. Are you free to join us?

“Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for everyone, especially the outsourced talents, if I join you guys?”

- Even if that were the case, the President should still come. We can just have a light meal with the outsourced talents, then head to another restaurant with our employees after. Our drama’s ending today, so please spare us a bit of your time today. Our employees are looking forward to seeing you again, you know.

It’s not even nine yet. Why is Michelle already confirming whether I’ll be able to join them or not?

Either way, he felt as if he had to do this for them. After all, he would be going to France in a couple of days.

“Alright. Text me the time and location once everything has been finalized.”

After hanging up, Kang Chan sat on the living room sofa.

Due to strange twists of events, the company that he created to make it easier for French agents to come to South Korea turned into one that actually made dramas. He didn’t really want to look after it, though. Considering how troublesome it was becoming for him, he thought it wouldn’t be bad to entrust the entire company to Michelle instead.

He found no need to rush doing that, though.

Although he now had a dinner appointment, he still had all morning and afternoon to spare. During moments like this, his go-to activity was meeting up with Seok Kang-Ho.

Kang Chan immediately picked up his phone and dialed a number.

- Want to have some tea?

Seok Kang-Ho answered the phone without even saying, “hello,” now.

“When do you want to meet?”

- I’m putting on clothes right now.

“You’ve been naked all this time?”

Kang Chan heard Seok Kang-Ho laughing and then snorting from the other end of the line.

Jeez, this dirty bastard!

“I’ll see you at the entrance of the apartment.”

Kang Chan quickly hung up.

The training would only take six months, yet Kang Chan still found himself continuously examining his surroundings ever since this morning. It was as if he would be going away for far longer.
