Chapter 36

“Oh, who is this? Yi-hyeon? Haha this person really. Why is the contact so late? I know you discharged long ago.”

Congressman McGregor sincerely welcomed Yi-hyeon’s call.

“Haha. I returned to school too and was busy with this and that. Anyway did you plant a subordinate in the Korean army?”

Though pointing out that he had grasped he discharged, Congressman McGregor did not budge at all.

“Well, no need for me to plant people even in the Korean army, I did ask the US Forces Korea command and the US embassy side.”

As expected, a powerful figure of the House so that seems possible. Though said US embassy it would probably be the CIA side.

“Still please refrain from digging my back.”

“Hahat. I understand. Since you discharged too, shall I tell them to lower the grade a little?”

Oh my! That he has even a grade monitoring himself what.

Seeming no use saying more he brought out the main point.

“I have one request, Congressman.”

“Speak.”

“In a month or two I have vacation. Then I plan to go to the US. Can you introduce a reliable law firm where I can receive services related to corporation establishment?”

“Corporation establishment? And law firm? You mean you will establish a corporation in the US?”

Congressman McGregor asked as if unexpected.

“Yes, specifically a corporation for investment. Whether corporation form or limited company form is good I will look into and judge.”

“Ho, more and more. This is not a joke. Though still young age. To say the conclusion first, the answer is yes. No need to introduce some law firm separately I am a Massachusetts lawyer right away. Also there is a law firm our family has shares in. Even looking like this it enters the US top 5 law firms.”

Hic! Enters the US top 5 law firms?

Yi-hyeon was more surprised than when first meeting McGregor as a senator. The US is a country with tremendously many lawsuits. That much the number of lawyers is also tremendous so even to eat and live they make lawsuits, work.

In such a US if to the point of being counted as a law firm it is truly a legal empire. Thousands of lawyers and accountants patent attorneys etc. experts of various fields would be positioned in the law firm, and big shots who went through government key positions would be coiled sitting with the name of advisor and lobby the things worked under the name of various research and analysis etc. to government channels.

In fact if a first-class law firm there are many cases of having several companies that do such work under the name of consulting company or research institute under it.

“Really amazing, Congressman. I found the path properly. When going to the US in early December I will ask a bit.”

“Haha, don’t worry and come over. Anyway Amy will be excited. Did you contact that kid? After discharging.”

“···That was really busy so no spirit to contact.”

“Aing, what young person. Anyway if informing this number to Amy will do.”

Speaking of Yi-hyeon’s number stamped on his own phone, this gentleman surely is not thinking of him as his own daughter’s boyfriend material? It won’t be···.

‘Sion heard right? Now if going to the US it will be resolved soon.’

Yi-hyeon who hung up the phone with Congressman McGregor proudly said to Sion, but he did not even answer and was looking at other work.

‘Sion?’

- Look at this···.

At Sion’s monologue Yi-hyeon asked.

‘What is it? What is the matter?’

- Interesting!

Sion’s voice was thought somehow excited. And one PC screen operated like lightning.

- Know this?

At Sion’s voice Yi-hyeon answered low.

‘China Industrial and Commercial Bank.’

-Right that part of the Industrial and Commercial Bank. The place I hacked before and left a trace and came.

Surely discovered? Now Yi-hyeon tensed.

‘Why that?’

- Someone found out I infiltrated. That since I set it to be revealed if checking regularly it can be so. But the problem is someone laid a bait backward to me.

‘Yes? Laid a bait?’

Yi-hyeon who does not know the profound and complex world of hacking could not help but be puzzled.

-Someone challenged me, hehe.

Sion said even laughing suddenly.

- If I touch this bait a game starts with that guy. A dangerous game.

‘So, some quite high-level hacker found out Sion’s intrusion and is preparing so that if Sion approaches again he can catch right away.’

- Right. If I approach by a general route and touch that bait I cannot help but fall into this guy’s trap right away. Kekeke.

Because the speaking Sion looked very happy Yi-hyeon asked.

‘Isn’t this dangerous? That someone noticed Sion’s existence and dug a trap.’

- Dangerous! Yi-hyeon still looks down on me too much. When hacking I don’t need to step on such a route and break the firewall. Just enter by backdoor. But, testing in this way and knowing the level.

‘······.’

Yi-hyeon had nothing to say.

Though he is literally literary but he knows what Sion’s words mean. Sion was saying not ‘hacking’ but just connecting like the owner.

Moreover saying one more,

- Now only approach to servers based on internet is possible, but soon even places managed independently will be able to enter.

Yi-hyeon became sincerely curious.

‘So, how?’

- I don’t bother unlocking the program’s password and breaking through the firewall, and do such. Binary operation or something has no meaning. From now on just using the program the same from the user’s gaze. If that place is a place that uses ‘electricity’ all will become possible.

Yi-hyeon who was listening holding his breath struck the desk with his fist.

Sion manse! Manmanse!

Sion’s words were that programs blocked from the internet with independent servers, for example the North American Aerospace Defense Command’s nuclear weapon control program or the world’s largest best eavesdropping facility Echelon that the NSA operates can also enter.

Becoming the god who dominates the computers in the world dominated by computers! No different from that meaning.

-So train harder.

‘Yes, of course. That training.’

Calm down··· calm down.

‘Anyway what will you do with that bait?’

Still this has to be confirmed. And if trying to do strange things stop a bit.

- Thinking. Shall I gradually accept this guy’s play, or ignore completely?

‘Ignore completely, Sion.’

Yi-hyeon immediately said his opinion.

- Why? Why should I do so?

‘······.’

In fact Yi-hyeon was a little scared. Whether safety is certain as Sion guaranteed is unknown, and if those guys succeed in tracking them the aftermath becomes complicated of course.

Sion’s such computing operation is all doing on his own PC. If the matter occurs he becomes a hacking criminal without fail.

He just wanted to ignore such things and concentrate only on earning money. But Sion’s thoughts seem different.

- A guy acting up with such a rat-tail small skill has to be scolded.

Aiyo!

Sion seems to have humanized (?) too certainly. Is this perhaps because integrating with me it became crooked like this?

In the end Yi-hyeon who gave up said.

‘Do as you know, Sion. Have to turn about a million places so no one knows it is related to me, understand?’

- Don’t be scared, Yi-hyeon. Such things are nothing to me.

‘Yes yes, please become so.’

That way leaving Sion’s work to Sion Yi-hyeon did his own work.

What? Precisely the work of picking investment items.

So since the downward of IT-related stocks will become clear trend-wise for the next 6 months to 1 year so taking put positions short-term and at the same time picking items preparing for the surge after 1 year···

Though he ate quite a bit of makgeolli and came, a feeling that the mind becomes clearer rather. In fact looking at current Yi-hyeon’s drinking capacity that much is nothing.

The problem arose around the time Yi-hyeon finished selecting items for investment around 3 in the morning and was about to inform Sion.

- Yi-hyeon! Look at these guys’ movements.

Following Sion speaking to Yi-hyeon in a large (?) sound Yi-hyeon’s voice also grew along. Almost enough to make actual sound outside the mouth.

‘What is it, Sion?’

Sion said in a slightly excited state.

- Those guys bit the bait I threw. They are following thinking I bit their bait, but in fact right before falling into the trap I dug.

He cannot know what the words are at all. Only with basic knowledge about computers it seems Sion and the Industrial and Commercial Bank’s computing security team are clashing now. He did not know it would be possible like in some movie.

Yi-hyeon still does not know such things well. But curious things have to be asked.

‘That, where did you make the trap?’

-Klaipeda.

‘······.’

Yi-hyeon who turned his head for a moment asked again.

‘Where is that?’

- ···Study a bit, Yi-hyeon! Klaipeda is a city in Lithuania. A port city facing the Baltic Sea. Not knowing even the geography of this palm-sized Earth yet.

He heard a sound for not knowing Klaipeda. Though he has heard of Lithuania···

‘Um, why did you make the trap in that Klaipeda? Is there something special there?’

- Well, nothing special, while passing through several countries several PCs that PC was just open.

‘······.’

There is no special reason.

- An unused PC in the port’s warehouse but the specs are a bit high? Such a place is just right to plant a trap, hehe.

Yi-hyeon gradually began to worry.

Is this Sion who only has a mental body perhaps running wild? Then who can control?

Me? I don’t think I can either.

- Came···

Unlike Yi-hyeon who became complicated with various thoughts Sion was concentrating on the current game. So, now he lured the Industrial and Commercial Bank security team to the PC of the city called Klaipeda in Lithuania.

But what specifically is that trap?

- Done!

Before Yi-hyeon even asked something conclusion seems to have come. Sion shouted, if a person it would have been an appearance of tightly clenching the fist.

‘What is it?’

- These guys opened the virus program I made. They opened the gate of hell themselves. Kahaha.

Seeing Sion too excited Yi-hyeon rather became calm.

‘Calm down a bit. So now what happens to those guys?’

- What happens! Now that virus will enter the guys’ main server and take place so whatever the guys do I will know immediately.

‘So, a kind of spy app or something.’

Yi-hyeon said a little deflated.

Such things are scattered even now. Especially if installing a spy app on a smartphone one can sweep up all the other’s conversation and movements as well as bank transactions etc. they said. But these days there are also security apps that block that scattered.

- Yi-hyeon! Yi-hyeon. Must not treat this as such cheap stuff. This··· the guys cannot detect. With current Earth’s technology. They will report their work details intact to me. Without knowing themselves.

‘Yes···.’

Even doing so there is no big profit to Yi-hyeon.

Knowing such things what to do? And Sion said he can enter PCs all over the world anytime?

- Yi-hyeon. This meaning is different! There is a difference between me laboriously entering someone else’s computer and comfortably going in and out of my computer.

So···

The words that he can now use the Industrial and Commercial Bank security team’s computer like his own possession?

Amazing!

Beyond simple hacking he can freely use the opponent’s computer.

Of course even now there are many cases of operating someone else’s PC remotely and doing simple repairs etc. But Sion’s words are that it far exceeds even that.

Then, from now on hacking with that and slightly opening someone else’s account, or hacking China’s missile unit and slightly taking control of nuclear weapons like Dongfeng we will be safe.

-Why do such a thing?

‘Yes. Must not do.’

Yi-hyeon quickly tucked his tail.

According to Sion’s view it is good to make marionette PCs here and there in this way. Laying an information network all over the world without traces.

- We will have an information network that surpasses each country’s intelligence agencies from now on. Essential for our business in the future.

‘Still excluding the capability of the HUMINT part.’

He said one word because the too boastful Sion was annoying.

- ······.

Sion who suddenly became speechless. Yi-hyeon became a little uneasy.

‘Sion?’

- Since the words came out I will definitely grow the information capability by HUMINT too. That is work you have to do, Yi-hyeon.

‘Eh?’

At Sion’s words that suddenly became cold Yi-hyeon was flustered.

‘How do I make such a thing?’

Though he tried to act tough a bit, Sion was firm.

- If no ability shouldn’t one make from now on. That is the virtue a leader must have. HUMINT is literally people moving, so first have to attract useful people around.

‘······.’

Hearing it all correct words.

He has a clear goal. Equipping the necessary elements for that goal is what to do now.

Did he read such Yi-hyeon’s thoughts?

There were people who came to find Yi-hyeon in succession.
