Parental Qualification Certificate

Chapter 11

For the first time in the entirety of the situation, Lisa felt nervous. She questioned, "Is it 10:20?" to mask her fear.

"Five minutes left," said Ok Taecyeon. "Come on! If you can't make a decision within a minute, I will choose your assistant as the first victim."

Lisa turned her head subconsciously to look at Jisoo and saw her fear.

With a sigh, Lisa turned her head to face Ok Taecyeon, and said calmly, "I choose myself... Kill me."

She had no apathy for this world, nothing to miss, unlike Jisoo who had parents that loved her. She had too many ideas and responsibilities. At this time, she did not need to consider and hesitate to offer herself.

Ok Taecyeon looked at her with surprise, "You really are not afraid of death!"

Lisa smiled lightly. "Does it matter if I'm not scared?" She couldn't say 'I am not afraid' directly. Ok Taecyeon felt that he had a common aspect with her, and would be reluctant to kill her. He then decided to leave her last on the 'to kill' list.

Ok Taecyeon smiled scornfully, with an unusually firm tone: "No matter! But..." He said lightly: "I actually feel very attached to you. I don't think I can kill you right away. We have a lot more in common than I expected... What do you think I should do?"

Lisa's expression remained unfazed. Her tone turned slightly ironic while saying, "I am the one who broke your good deeds and destroyed your hope. Only the first or the last kill is the most meaningful. If you leave me for the last, are you sure you can kill all of the hostages? If in the end the police rescued some of the hostages and I escaped, wouldn't you regret it in prison or in hell for years to come?"

Ok Taecyeon's face went gloomy. He stared at her for a few seconds, contemplating, and then said with a toothy grin, "You make more sense! Okay, then, get ready to die!"

He raised the gun, released the guard, and pointed the barrel at Lisa's head.

Lisa closed her eyes as she felt the cool metal resting on her forehead. Yet in her heart, there was an odd and peculiar feeling of overwhelming peace and happiness.

'I am doing the right thing. I have no regrets.' These were supposed to be her last thoughts until her eyes snapped back open to someone shouting.

"Don't!" Jisoo burst into a screaming plea. She stretched out the uncuffed hand, grabbed the barrel of the gun, and held it out of Lisa's range.

She cried to Ok Taecyeon and said, "Don't kill Lili! She has suffered so much. She shouldn't die like this!"

Ok Taecyeon smiled mockingly at her. "If I don't kill her, who shall I kill?"

Jisoo was so scared that her lips started to tremble. She looked at him with great fear and opened her mouth out of pure courage.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lisa quickly stretched out her uncuffed hand, covered her mouth, and said anxiously, "Think of your parents! Don't you have a heart? Don't do irrational things out of impulse!"

Jisoo leaned her head sideways, dodging her hands. She cried and said to Ok Taecyeon, no longer in fear, "Just kill me instead! I have been happy ever since I was a kid. Mom and dad have loved me so much, holding me and caring for me like a spoiled little princess. Aren't you envious? Aren't you jealous? Don't you hate children like me?"

Probably stimulated by adrenaline, Jisoo spoke rather quickly.

Ok Taecyeon's face turned gloomy yet again. "Since you want to die so much, I can fulfill your dream." The gun in his hand immediately pointed at Jisoo.

Lisa was going to grab the barrel of the gun, but Ok Taecyeon was faster. Ok Taecyeon struck Lisa on the side of her neck. She instantly fell to the ground, unconscious.

He once again pointed the gun towards Jisoo's head. She was panting heavily as if she was running out of the air, and her forehead was beaded with sweat. She hurriedly said, "Tell my parents! I love them!"

At that moment, a war robot who had been standing not far from the two rushed to Ok Taecyeon at speed invisible to the naked eye.

The robot lifted the gun to face the ceiling with one hand and grabbed Ok Taecyeon's arm with the other and twisted it. It snatched the gun from his hands and used his foot to force Ok Taecyeon to trip to the ground. The heroic robot then stood on Taecyeon's legs, disabling him from getting up.

All hostages widened their eyes and looked at how the tables have turned in surprise.

Ok Taecyeon's very own war robot had gone haywire?! The hostages thought, hope blooming in their hearts.

A while later, a series of loud and heavy footsteps suddenly thudded from the entrance of the test center.

A group of heavily armed men rushed into the scene. Looking at the three letters "MPS" on their body armor, everyone knew that the hostage-taking incident had concluded, and that meant they were safe.

The person who came to look at the situation gestured behind him, and then opened his helmet, exposing a beautiful pair of eyes.

These eyes looked at Lisa's unconscious state for a few seconds and then announced to the hostages in a deep voice, "We are special police of the special service bureau of the Earth Safety Department of the Ministry of Public Safety. You are all now in safe hands."

When he spoke, the robot behind him controlled Ok Taecyeon, who had been subdued by the war robot.

The electronic handcuffs on the hostages opened automatically one by one.

The hostages rubbed and soothed their wrists and looked around.

It was all over.

Then, huge sighs of relief and joy emerged from within them. They jumped up and hugged their relatives, friends, acquaintances, or strangers, and wept with joy.

Jisoo, who escaped death, rushed to Lisa's side and wailed while holding her tight.

Ok Taecyeon, still disarmed, had already returned to his thoughts, and his eyes were flushed and incredulously mumbled to himself in disbelief, "How is this possible? How is this possible?! How is this possible!"

The special police officer sneered and said, "What is impossible? Do you really think your technology is invincible? There is a sky outside! Didn't you know?"

Jungkook glanced at the rejoicing rescued hostages in the holographic image. A ghost of a smile graced his face. He then ordered his assistant Mingyu to pack up and get ready to leave.

He rose from his chair and bid goodbye to Commander Joo Won.

"Thank you very much today! Really, thank you!" Joo Won held Jungkook's hand in both of his hands. The expression on his face and his enthusiasm were charming and quite flattering.

A hostage-crisis that was extremely intractable and likely to lead to a bloody tragedy was solved in a bloodless and quick way, which was incredible. These years, technology truly was the king!

Jungkook kept smiling, retracted his hand, and politely said, "Mr. Minister is polite. If there is nothing else, we will now leave, so as not to delay the release."

Joo Won put one hand on Jungkook's shoulder affectionately and sent him out.

"Mr. Jeon, rest assured, I have issued a forbidden password as a Minister. No one will disclose your affairs at will."

"Thank you." Jungkook grinned politely.

Joo Won glanced at him and asked with some doubt,: "Mr. Jeon, if your role in this matter is announced, not to mention the interstellar, it will definitely smash the entire Earth Alliance. The greater your reputation, the more recognized your company's performance will be. Why would you ask for confidentiality?"

Jungkook resolutely replied: "Our company's performance is good enough. I don't need this to make the icing on the cake and keep me busy."

Joo Won laughed, "I sometimes meddle too much, my apologies."

He personally sent Jungkook to the place where his flying saucer was parked. He watched the flying saucer rise into the air before turning back to handle the aftermath.
