Overgeared

Chairman Lim Cheolho’s desperate threat made the skinny old man smile.

“In other words, you will cooperate with us if we give you a convincing reason?”

“It won’t be easy to convince me.”

Chairman Lim didn’t hide the incident from the company. He admitted to some team and key members that he didn’t know anything. He was planning to mobilize everyone in the company in order to prevent the update from rolling out.

However, it turned out that the update would be released in ten days. Finding the people behind this incident and preventing the update was practically impossible given the short amount of time he was working with.

How could he find people who had been missing for years in just ten days? Even more, this group had quickly taken over the S.A. Group’s network and easily gained access to their communication.

Chairman Lim Cheolho was nervous. Originally, in the worst case scenario, he was prepared to shut down the entire Satisfy server. However, given this group’s abilities, he didn’t think he would be able to do that after all.

The old man’s smile got wider when he saw the conflicting emotions on Chairman Lim’s face.

“As expected, you are clever. That is why we chose you.”

“I made the choice. I was the one who identified what you were capable of when you were scattered around the world and got you involved in this project.”

“Haha. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t only revolve around you. Was it really a coincidence that the manpower you desperately needed just so happened to be on your radar exactly when you required it?”

“Are you saying that you intentionally approached me from the very beginning? Now that things have turned out like this, that seems plausible.”

Chairman Lim Cheolho smiled bitterly as he recalled visiting the scientists in different countries decades ago. His anger flared up at the thought that he had been played like a pawn from the very beginning. However, he managed to calm down. These guys weren’t opponents who should be confronted without a plan. He had to reach a consensus with them.

“Tell me why. Why are people like you so obsessed with meddling in a mere game?”

“A mere game. That is a radical statement. Isn’t Satisfy a utopia to you? By now, your family should be living happily in that utopia of yours.”

Chairman Lim Cheolho’s expression darkened the moment the topic of his family was brought up.

“Oh, right, information about your family is confidential. I’m sorry to have offended you. I just wanted to tell you that Satisfy is important to us as well.”

The old man apologized and got to the main point.

“Do you believe that virtual reality, which provides people with the same five senses as reality, was created purely through the power of science? If you are smart, you have probably had your suspicions for quite some time. A congenitally blind person can see colors and objects in Satisfy. A person who fell into a coma through an accident could manifest their consciousness to the fullest in Satisfy... How could this power be obtained only through science?”

The old man was still taunting Chairman Lim Cheolho. A person who was born blind or fell into a coma because of an accident... The chairman’s family was a perfect example. The old man’s unique way of speaking made Lim Cheolho hyper-focused on what was being said.

The chairman barely suppressed his anger, though he knew that the old man always had such a temperament. He remembered something. The thirty-three scientists who used to solve the issues that he could never solve at critical moments... Their contribution and Lim Cheolho’s had come together to create Satisfy.

He had been skeptical of them for a long time. He suspected they weren’t just geniuses who were much smarter than him. They potentially walked the path of apostles rather than the path of scientists.
