Translator’s Ramblings:
d.a.m.n!
Lost all of the draft of this chapter I had done! I still have my rough version but will have to polish it all over again!
A sneaky little blackout (the one that comes and go super fast and only exist to screw your life) + the fact WordPress only auto saves AFTER I have saved at least once.
Really… It is like 8PM friday. I was almost done and 10 minutes tops of saving it…

Does Red Also Runs Through A Blue Heart?
(7)Seeing him move between joy and sorrow with each of Kang-Joon’s words one would able to understand the Director’s talent with words from miles away.
“Mr. Director, this too is for Mr. director best interests.”
“What are you saying?”
“Do you know of Gauss Pharmaceuticals company incident?”
“If it’s that… No way…”
Although information concerning BlueHeart was almost non-existent, Gauss Pharmaceutical company incident was famous.
Gauss Pharmaceuticals, a multinational enterprise, where the enterprise’s head as well as executives were all murdered due to some sort of terrorism. The reason for why it was so was unknown. There were rumours saying it was a vengeful act carried by Mutants who had escaped, and many said it was a systematic and violent way to keep their opponents in check between rival enterprises.
However, the phantasmagorical rumors roaming through the business circle were completely different.
Gaussian Pharmaceuticals was operating a secret illegal Mutant Pot, and the terrorism act was a retaliation related to that. It is uncertain what Gauss Pharmaceuticals experimented with and if the Mutant Pot was genuine. And whether all that was indeed the truth was still a mystery.
However, the circ.u.mstances of Gauss Pharmaceuticals operating an Mutant Pot were quite certain. Gauss Pharmaceuticals possessed new technology far ahead of its peers, and that technology source was unclear.
If it wasn’t operating an enormous number of illegal Pots, such accomplishment would have been impossible. As Gauss Pharmaceuticals’s executives were murdered the researches data were gone with them.
The director saw Jiwon’s regenerative power which surpa.s.sed a thousand. Although a full-fledged investigation was carried in the US — where their headquarters is located — the fact the investigation results were never made public was very unusual.
Because of all of that the Mutant technology had regressed some steps. It was unknown whether they could make that sort of Mutant if they had Gauss Pharmaceuticals’ missing technology.
Hearing Kang-Joon’s words the director understood Jiwon was completely different from an ordinary specimen. Most of all, if it was a problem related with that mysterious terrorism incident and Gauss Pharmaceuticals, it wasn’t something to mess with.
“You… How are you certain of that?”
“I am not…”
Kang-Joon spoke like that still without an ounce of concern.
“What I said might be a lie. It could be a simple bluff. However, isn’t it a little strange?”
Although he didn’t glare looking at the director in a relaxed manner, to the director the gaze was pressuring as if it was trying to pierce through his soul.
“Have you ever seem an Illegal Mutant Pot that was so clean and well-organized like that?”
The reason was the majority of illegal Pot were very dirty, messy, and inadequate. But, when looking at this incident’s scene pictures, although many parts were destroyed, that underground facility was very tidy. Valuable medicines were stockpiled, and only the data was lost, with the medical supplies and equipment they had composed of the best products available.
“The judgement is something to Mr. Director to do.”
In the end the initiative rested with the director. The director still had the authority of releasing or having Jiwon detained in this facility. While the manager in front of him, Choi Kang-Joon, was threatening the director with a completely unrelated topic.
A cruel terrorism case involving Gauss Pharmaceuticals, and the specimen which might be the outcome of that.
A situation where an incredible information could be obtained. It was, clearly, a very big prey, however, nothing was know about what would happen upon swallowing it. Putting aside how the retired Hunter and manager in front of his eyes knows of that group’s connection with the terrorism at Gauss Pharmaceuticals…
The director suddenly realized.
This person was formerly a Hunter and possessed an extremely detailed knowledge of the dirty things pervading through the Mutant industry. Had an extremely deep understanding of how the Mutants who were captured were traded by hundred of millions, and each and every one of the disgusting acts committed with the stability test as excuse.
Although I don’t now why he is a manager,
although I can’t understand why he would be here…
“You… Impos-”
“Now, be careful about guesses and dangerous misunderstandings. I want to say just one thing…”
Kang-Joon cut off the Director’s words as if he knew what he would say. Only throwing a few words.
“I am hungry and all I can think about now is whether I can grab something to eat.”
It were words that didn’t have anything to do the situation. Kang-Joon brought that sort of topic sucking at the coffee’s straw with absolutely no cla.s.s.
“I will wait for a positive answer.”
Kang-Joon held the coffee exiting the conference room. The director felt as if he had seen a ghost. There wasn’t ever any concrete threat. Neither was there a word about killing him. However, inside that atmosphere the director felt he had died and returned back to life an unknown amount of times.
If Kang-Joon words were correct, Jiwon was a specimen that they couldn’t carelessly touch. He couldn’t tell which part was truth, and which part was a bluff. A simple manager being related with Gauss Pharmaceuticals’ terrorism incident was something exceeding beyond nonsense, rubbish that couldn’t be trusted.
However, when considering the various circ.u.mstances, Kang-Joon’s words couldn’t be completely taken as bluff. If the extremely well-organized underground Pot and the incredibly outstanding experiment’s regenerative power were to be taken into account it was believable.
The chief was the one in charge of KML, a laboratory who worked under the government, and, as it usually is with those which worked in the government, he too understood well the methods to survive.
When giving cards where victory was uncertain, folding was always easier. He didn’t have an adventurous character. And had too much at the moment to risk now because of an adventure and greed for achievement.
They were detained for a whole week in the military facility. Eventually, because of the ‘real’ stability test, Jiwon had to go to through some tests. All who occurred under Kang-Joon presence. Followed by some checks about mental state and what sort of ability Jiwon could display.
Although some problems were found with the results, the director had no choice but issuing a ‘safe’ a.s.sessment in order to send out Kang-Joon and Jiwon as quickly as possible. Rather than curiosity, all he thought of was sending the dangerous manager and Mutant duo out quick.
