‘found!’

I grabbed the pocket again and looked for it with the touch of my hand, and I felt something sticking out of the pocket. I quickly turned the pocket over and found a small chip stuck between the seams.

It was very small in a clear plastic box. It was like a chip equipped with a warrior that Cheolwoo had planted in his head before returning.

‘no way···?’

[WA001.5, appears to be an early version of the Nano chipset for combat aid.]

‘Is this the very chip that was planted in my head?’

[It is the WA305.42 version. There is an incomparable gap with the initial prototype.]

‘Are you proud to say that your version is higher?’

[Unfortunately, neither of those early versions are in my memory.]

‘It’s true that you’re being proud of yourself!’

[Absolutely not!]

The Warrior strongly denied it, but Cheol-woo couldn’t help but laugh inside. A strange feeling arose as the Warrior became more and more human-like.

In the end, it was Cheol-woo himself that the Warrior resembled. The actions the Warrior was doing were unconscious actions of his own that he was not even aware of.

The pride of the warrior was the same as his pride. Seeing his confidence, which is unparalleled in front of anyone, through the Warrior, something like a strange emotion came up.

“Sir, I brought the coffee you ordered here.”

At that moment, a female employee approached with a tray with coffee on it. Cheol-woo hurriedly puts a plastic box of chips into his pocket.

The female employee was trying to put a teacup on the table, but lost her attention to the rough diamond on the table. These were rare stones of a size even here.

There were dozens of such gemstones, not one or two, lying on the table. It was difficult for her to reach near her table. If she lost even a single stone, it seemed that she would lose her life as well.

“I was so careless. Leave it here.”

Shrug!

Seeing her frozen while holding a teacup, Cheol-woo apologized. He then swept the stones scattered on the transparent table to one side like a broom with one hand.

Then she sighed and was able to put the teacup down. She, of course, kept the teacup as far away from the stone as possible.

“Oh dear···! I’m a little late. I was contacted in advance through Mrs. Amanda, but it must have been misdirected to the staff. I’ll apologize for you. My name is Simon Ryu. Just call me Simon.”

A man with a short beard with a strong French accent came in and trembled. His short, half-peeled red hair caught his eye in a tight striped navy blue suit.

The way he talked and the way he wore clothes was gay. In New York, gay people were very active in the arts.

There was also a joke that at least one gay friend is essential for wealthy women. With a male body and a female sensibility, they were active in various fields.

“Oh! Oh dear! How dare you mistreat these precious children. Hey, bring me the jewel box here.”

“Yes, Madame!”

After the female employee greeted the two of them, they left the room. And after a while, he encouraged me to put the gemstones that Cheol-woo brought into a box lined with soft, high-quality fabric.

“Huh! Now my mind is a little off. Now, let’s talk about the purpose of your visit. What can I do to help?”

“I want you to make an accessory set with these jewels.”

“I think there are too many jewels for that…”

“I would like to make three sets. With different designs…”

“Oh my, my! Be romantic. If that’s the case, it could be a great luxury collection…”

“I heard that secrecy is life here… isn’t it?”

After imagining a romantic scene, Cheol-woo issued a cool warning to Simon, who made a heart in his eyes and made a fuss. Startled, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

There has always been a different side of the world to what is known to the public. Tiffany’s situation was no different.

Their customers were the world’s upper class. There were so many secrets to keep.

Besides, gems like diamonds have been blood-calling objects since birth. Every single process from where and how raw stones were discovered and traded, and where commercialized gems were sold, had to be kept secret.

Many of their customers brought their raw stones like this. In this case, the floor rule was not to ask the source of the raw stone.

No one knew how many gems of unknown origin were crafted into the arms of an unknown woman. Precious metals that stimulate women’s desires were so quietly and secretly circulated.

“I was presumptuous. Because Miss Linda and her wife are regulars. Ho Ho!”

“If you want to get new regulars, it seems like you need to be a little bit heavier.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. If you leave it to me, I will make a luxury set that will satisfy any woman. Leaving no traces…”

“We look forward to it. No matter how much it costs.”

Then a smile spread across Cheol-woo’s face. Simon, who thought he had earned his trust, looked at the gemstones in the box and gave an ecstatic expression.

If not, these gemstones cost more than $50,000 per carat. Several such children were placed in the box.

Although he was in contact with gems every day, it was very rare to find a gemstone of this size and this condition. Wearing a magnifying glass with a diamond discriminator in his hand, he trembled with trembling while appreciating the light emitted by the gemstone.

“Let’s go to the Grace Building on Wall Street.”

After leaving Tiffany, Cheol-woo took a taxi again. Sitting in the backseat of the taxi, he pulled out a box of chips from his pocket.

The clear plastic box was smaller than a thumb. The chips inside were smaller than the box.

Who could have predicted that this object would give him such a power? And the thought of why these objects were kept in Hookchung’s safe, along with the rough diamonds, filled his head.

[If you allow, I would like to analyze the information in the chip.]

‘Didn’t I say it’s useless because it’s a lower version?’

[It is not helpful for me at present, but it will be very helpful to analyze the basic algorithm without bringing down my system.]

‘Didn’t you say that you’re making new algorithms by expanding the area of ​​your brain right now? Can you afford to do two things at the same time?’

[I think it will help a lot in that part as well. If we combine McKay’s investment pattern data with the algorithm in the chip, it is expected that a higher-performance algorithm will be able to run without using a lot of resources.]

‘Do what you like. Anyway, it’s useless to me. What?’

[thank you. Then put the box with the chips inside the shirt.]

Cheol-woo put the chip in the velvet bag that contained the jewelry and put it inside the jacket. According to the Warrior’s speculation, the velvet material was able to detect it because the static electricity had penetrated the plastic box and hit the chip.

He said that from now on, the Warrior will analyze the data and algorithms in the chip using the radio waves and currents around it. When he saw the early version of the Warrior who returned with him, Cheol-woo’s heart was a little complicated.

‘Warrior, is it possible that this chip is the reason why the Chinese special forces raided Huoccheng’s stronghold?’

[At the moment, this is the most probable inference. What’s inside this chip will have a tremendous impact on the military power of each country in the future.]

‘Why did they put such a huge thing in my head? No matter how talented I was, I would have been just a mercenary to them, right?’

[The data for that part was not in my memory.]

‘I know. I was just asking as a complaint. Huh!’

A forest of high-rise buildings that seemed to pierce the sky spread out out of the car window that I looked out indifferently. Loud horns and sirens sounded in my ears, indicating that this was not Seoul.

“Did all the boys escorting Brian get hit?”

“Yes, Master!”

“He’s so arrogant. How many tubs did you run in a day? Catch it!”

A white-haired old man was sitting at an old and heavy wooden desk. He lost weight and was skinny, but his bones were the same as when he was young.

The cheekbones protruding under the sagging skin of his face showed his stubbornness. Even in his old age, his strong teeth were as hard as chewing anything in the world.

The old man was Marcella Zambito, the head of the Zambito family. It was a living legend of the New York mafia called Mr. Zambito rather than the name Marcella.

And in front of him stood Dario, Pietro’s uncle. Although the members of the organization spoke about the tragic incident, both of them showed an attitude that it was not a big deal.

“If he had cleaned it up to the choke, the diamonds would have fallen into his hands.”

“It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it is very likely.”

“Then, of course, the chip would have fallen into his hands… Huh!”

Zambito burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous. The result of years of painstaking work turned out to be like doing only good things in the end.

“Are you going to ask him to put it back?”

“Would you mind giving it back easily? The country would never have returned it. Huh!”

“He’ll never know what it’s like when he’s dead and awake.”

“Still, I won’t vomit. Look at what he’s doing. Of course, the country must have done the same…”

Zambito shook his head helplessly. From the outside, it looked like he had given up on everything.

But his eyes were still burning like fire. Knowing that, Dario wasn’t even a bit vigilant.

The Master he has enshrined all his life is a person who is like the incarnation of desire. He wasn’t the kind of person to make concessions until he let out his last breath.

“Let me call him…!”

“What shall I tell you?”

“Come here two days later and ask me to make a discussion…”

“Do you think he will come?”

“In the end, it will come. Two days!”

“I will tell you that.”

It was when Dario bowed his head to Zambito and was about to leave the room. As if he still had something to say, he called Dario back.

“Before contacting him, you should contact the CIA’s Knaful first…”

“How far should I go?”

“I’d say he’s got the stuff.”

“I will tell you that.”

“And again….”

Dario quietly turned around. It was not uncommon for Zambito to call him several times like a talkative old man.

I had a bad feeling. And the bad premonitions were always right.

“You’ve worked hard all this time. Dario!”

“…you knew. master.”

“If it’s not me, who knows you, my friend. Two days!”

“Since when did you know?”

“Well, my memory is hazy.”

“After all, you didn’t trust me. From the beginning…”

“This place made me that way. Our childhood relationship has been tucked away in this desk drawer of my father from the moment I sit here. So that I never have to take it out again.”

“…Thank you so much. Let’s go ahead and wait. master!”

“Yeah, you won’t have to wait that long. I’ll let you sit first and wait. Be it heaven or hell. Two days!”

“Finally, Pietro, please take care of him.”

“Well, shouldn’t he be responsible for that guy?”

Dario didn’t respond any further, and bowed deeply towards him. It was his last farewell to his old friend and boss.

As he left, Zambito turned the deep-backed chair back. Outside the window, the sun, which was gradually losing its heat, was scattered dazzlingly.

“What a perfect day to die. I am very happy to have a friend on a day like this, my friend!”

He quietly closed his eyes. Memories of his childhood flickered over his droopy eyelids.
