Sooho

“For them, they went into seed and biotechnology rather than production and circulation, so they shouldn’t be a problem.”

“I don’t see Amia.”

Ahn Soo Ho scanned the room and tilted his head when he didn’t see a familiar face he was expecting.

“Amia… was replaced.”

“Why?”

“Amia made a testimony at a recent ICC that was unfavorable to a general’s crime, so she ended up being replaced for violating good faith of a client.”

Gaius wasn’t the only major in pharmaceuticals. When only considering sales, Synizer Meditech was way ahead of Gaius. They were a multinational company, but they didn’t have an office in Congo. Amia Daruan was an international lawyer sent by the UN in order to calm down Africa’s public sentiment.

She became the face of Meditech and visited many regions to deliver rescue materials. The problem was that she didn’t realize the difficulty the businesses in Africa went through, and she didn’t want to understand it either.

“General Juma isn’t a tyrant who enjoys murder. He was actually a friendly man with a brilliant mind.”

General Juma’s soldiers that controlled Congo, Burundi, and Tanzania, wasn’t particularly friendly with any of the countries. For that reason, they were a threat to the countries while also being helpful, and in the eyes of foreign investors, they were no different from corrupt warlords. The conflict arose when NGO’s food relief program and medical support plan ended up in failure.

Bribery was rampant in Africa, but the international relief groups were usually not messed with. That was because their activities were suppressing the dissatisfaction the citizens had about the military. In Africa, there was no mindset that a country could look out for their citizens’ welfare.

“They replaced her because of one testimony? That’s too much.”

“There’s more to it.”

“So you’re saying the testimony isn’t all she did.”

“Yeah.”

Ahn Soo Ho showed the palm of his hands and cut off Felix. He didn’t know what kind of situation it was, but it wasn’t important at this very instant. He scanned the banquet hall once more. Most of them were connections Ahn Soo Ho made during his years in Africa. Unless they were a family-run business like Cargill with unlisted stocks, even large corporations were unable to survive their time limitations.

Despite Ahn Soo Ho’s retirement, their solidarity strengthened rather than it weakening. Why? Because they felt a large impact from his vacancy. This went along with the saying,

‘Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know.’

People were always too busy glorifying the good days than to focus on overcoming the current chaos.

Those who got a taste of the problem solver named Ahn Soo Ho got too addicted to be able to escape. He was retired now, but that didn’t mean he was going to completely ignore friends in trouble. Just by managing his connections well, he was able to stay seated and manage the world.

“I’m going to wipe out Boko Haram.”

“Hm.”

He had already known through his informants, but hearing it from Ahn Soo Ho himself made him flinch.

“If you have any connections to Boko Haram, take care of that as soon as possible.”

“Are you going to pull them out by the roots?”

“No way. It’s impossible to annihilate those cockroaches.”

If that was possible, America wouldn’t have had to be tied down by the Middle East for almost 20 years. No matter how many Taliban they killed, they kept appearing, and a mutated cockroach like IS appeared from time to time to harass the US military. That was why people called the Middle East a black hole. If another black hole was to form in North Africa, even the current American president was going to have a hard time.

‘A back-to-back impeachment?’

If another impeachment was to happen so soon, even the most optimistic Americans were going to have problems. What was funnier was that signs were starting to emerge, but not even the Republican party wanted another presidential impeachment. No matter how much they hated the democratic party, they had to maintain America’s democracy with the symbol of the utmost freedom.

‘America will not lose!’

The pride of Yankees was still as high as when America defeated Poland and France back during World War II. To the true Yankees, the only Muslims they would tolerate were those who were dead.

“Were you the one who ordered Pitch Stone to cut off funding to Boko Haram?”

“Yeah.”

“Figures. Even K-Bank froze Boko Haram’s accounts.”

“Really? I didn’t order that one.”

“Then they must have decided to do that on their own.”
