Chapter 644: Descendants of the Sun

"Yes, yes, I know. We are investigating, and I believe we will have results soon. Please rest assured. There will be no problem."

In the Blue House, the South Korean president hung up the phone, his upright posture slowly relaxing as he exhaled lightly.

Unconsciously, beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.

His male assistant, standing behind him, immediately approached and asked softly, "Are you okay sir?"

The South Korean president shook his hand to indicate that he was fine.

After hesitating for a moment, the assistant asked in a low voice, "Mr. President, do you have any orders?"

From the president's facial expression and demeanor, it seemed that a significant event had occurred this time. Otherwise, the president, who was well-experienced, wouldn't be so startled after just one phone call.

Indeed, he was startled, and his assistant, who had been by the president's side for some time, could tell.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novel35.com

The South Korean president tapped the table with his fingers. His earlier performance was indeed embarrassing. There were things he didn't want to say, but he also knew these things couldn't be left unspoken. He sighed and said, "Just now, it was a call from the leader of China. He claimed to have reached an agreement with the presidents of the United States and Russia, formally requesting South Korea to investigate the whereabouts of a book called the 'Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan'. The tone was quite intense..."

“If South Korea doesn't respond, the Chinese and Russian forces stationed in the north may join forces with North Korea, crossing the 38th parallel.”

"What? This is an invasion, an aggression! This is an attempt to provoke a world war!"

The assistant, his face flushed with anger, exclaimed, "Didn't the United States say anything about this?"

The American president was not foolish. Knowing that the South Korean people wouldn't hand over such an important thing, the Americans had already obtained a copy of the book. Although it might not be as powerful as the original, it was still valuable. So, instead of keeping the secret, the United States had decided to share it with China and those supernatural individuals. This not only allowed America to make its presence known but also potentially gain some benefits. Why not take advantage of the situation?

As a result, South Korea was thoroughly betrayed and now finds itself standing on the opposite side of the strongest three countries on Earth.

"We can't wait any longer!"

The South Korean president took a deep breath, "Send our special forces out. Break into that slaughterhouse and find that mysterious book. We can use the excuse that the book was found by us in South Korea to request joint research with other countries. Ideally, we should keep the book in South Korea and have them send experts."

Anyone who could be a president wasn't foolish. The South Korean president immediately chose the option that would benefit his country the most. Going against the United States, China, and Russia was not an option; it was practically suicide. If he chose that path, the North Korean leader born in the 1980s would probably wake up laughing from his dreams.

In fact, the national forces of South Korea had long been involved in the investigation. A targeted courier could easily be traced, and even the leader of the 'Christ New Century Church,' Lee Uijin, obtaining the book and establishing a slaughterhouse in the outskirts of Seoul, causing hundreds of killings – all of these activities were thoroughly investigated by South Korea's National Intelligence Service.

Lee Uijin, the self-proclaimed leader of that cult, believed he was acting without anyone's knowledge, but little did he know that modern state powers had infiltrated even the most subtle corners.

However, the reason the South Korean president did not order a direct crackdown on this cult was that he knew the book required blood sacrifices. If the South Korean government obtained this book, some actions would become challenging to justify, such as conducting secret blood sacrifices. If such information were to leak, the president would be in deep trouble, likely becoming a scapegoat.

Therefore, Lee Uijin's blood sacrifices inadvertently provided an opportunity for the South Korean government. It allowed them to observe and gather more intelligence, knowledge, and experience. When the time came, all they needed to do was shift the blame onto Lee Uijin, and everything would be fine.

But now, it seems that it's time to close the net.

The South Korean president doesn't believe that the special forces will fail. After all, Lee Uijin was just an ordinary person who obtained something extraordinary; he's not one of those truly extraordinary individuals. How powerful could Lee Uijin be?

‘Remember, our special forces were the 'Descendants of the Sun'!’
