Infinite Talent Reset Life Episode 208
54. Africa
Larry looks up at Johann.
Initially, the adoption had proceeded based on Larry’s own impulsive emotions. He was merely a legal guardian, not truly a father and son in the genuine sense.
However, as time passed and they experienced many things together, they became a real family, a father and son.
That was enough, just calling each other father and son was enough, yet he’s making a vow to live as your son forever.
He’s saying that no one, no situation could ever tear this relationship apart.
Seven years ago you took me as your child, but now I want to become your son and am making this vow.
Johann tightly embraces Larry, who is shedding tears.
“I’ll say it again.”
Forever, I’ll say it countless times.
“Thank you for becoming my father, Dad.”
“Sob!”
Embrace!
Larry resolved to never let this child go and held him tight, and everyone who saw this shed tears.
Clatter!
After the heartwarming meal ended, Larry grits his teeth while looking at Johann, who grins when their eyes meet.
“Sigh… You said you’re going to Africa?”
Can’t you not go?
Why do children who can live without lacking anything want to go to such a dangerous place?
But he can’t stop them. This was the first notification Johann and Emily made after becoming adults.
The first notification as independent adults.
The true beginning as adults who must take responsibility for their own words.
So he smiles to let them go comfortably.
“Contact me immediately if it becomes dangerous. Wherever that place is, whenever it is, I’ll come running!”
This father will.
Your eternal protector will.
“Me? My shooting skills?”
“Haha.”
“Be careful.”
“…Yeah. I’ll definitely protect Emily.”
“I’ll also be careful.”
“…Yes. Come back safely.”
The six embraced each other and shared warmth.
* * *
“Ahem!”
The adults who flinched at Sandra’s fake cough look at their wristwatches and stand up with an “oh my.”
“Oh my, it’s already this late.”
“Should we get going now?”
Johann and Emily are surprised by their sudden behavior.
“W-weren’t you going to sleep over?”
“You’re leaving already?”
Sandra comforts the disappointed two.
“Of course we have to go. It’s your first day moving in, wouldn’t it be better for just you two to be alone?”
“Right. It’s the first night in your first house.”
Emily’s face flushes red at the parents’ mischievous smiles.
Everyone bursts into laughter as Johann also turns his head away.
“We’re leaving. Don’t come out.”
“…Be careful, Larry.”
Johann, who saw off the four people at the entrance, looks at Emily.
“They said it’s our first night.”
“Yeah…”
When their eyes meet and she lowers her head fidgeting, Johann can no longer hold back and pounces on Emily.
Swoosh!
“Kyaa?!”
Emily, lifted up in a princess carry, feels comfort in Johann’s steady eyes gazing at her.
She nestles into his arms.
“Don’t you regret it? You donated all the money you worked hard to earn.”
Johann decided to donate a whopping $100 million worth of medicine to the country they’re about to visit.
Though the world is praising him for it, Emily felt it was such a waste that Johann spent all the money he worked hard to earn over almost 8 months.
“It’s okay. I have you.”
Emily, the source of inspiration.
“I can earn money anytime.”
“…You know how to say what women want to hear.”
“It’s an honor.”
Johann, who briefly touched lips, chuckles.
“But are you going to keep talking like this? They said today is our first night?”
“…Let’s take it slow today.”
“No way.”
“Ah, really!”
Johann headed to the bedroom while tightly embracing her as she struggled.
* * *
Generous donation of $100 million for Africa! Turns out it’s all album profits?!
He’s not a holy knight. He’s a saint! Johann Jefferson!
Pope Benedict XVI, he has done a great deed.
Still undecided hip-hop+classical genre name?
Eminem, though Johann poisoned the hip-hop scene, thank you for yielding.
Johann who poisoned the hip-hop scene, independence! Is his first house in Beverly Hills?!
Johann and his girlfriend personally carrying materials!
Johann and girlfriend stopping by the DMV!
Medicine heading to Africa!
Tanzania’s President registers Johann Jefferson as honorary Tanzanian citizen!
New Jersey, USA.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“…Please take care of Evgen.”
Clap clap clap clap clap!
In the large main auditorium, amidst pouring applause, the elderly veterans who shook hands with Engel Barber make eye contact with the teary-eyed staff members one by one before turning around.
The founders who started from nothing in their immature twenties without anyone’s help and built the current pharmaceutical company Evgen.
As every moment of about fifty years flashed through their minds, hot tears flowed from their eyes too.
“Farewell!”
“Thank you!”
They wiped their tears and left the main auditorium, and Engel Barber didn’t wait for the hearts of the staff members he would work with to settle down and immediately knocked on the platform.
Thud thud!
The large auditorium instantly falls silent.
Engel Barber looks at the old man he brought, the professional manager.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Bill Curb, who will be taking the CEO position at Evgen, no, Buy Medicine from now on.”
Clap clap clap clap clap!
The boss who now holds the power of life and death over them.
They quickly come to their senses and applaud.
“You must be confused and worried about the sudden change in all management, but once you see this, you’ll realize there’s no reason to be.”
Snap!
As Bill Curb waves his finger, the auditorium lights go out and a screen descends, showing some kind of list.
Texas, estimated $30 billion oil field
South Dakota, estimated $3 billion gold mine
Strange lists continuing below that as well.
“These are physical assets that will soon be included in Buy Medicine.”
Thump!
Everyone’s eyes widen at the shocking blow to the back of their heads.
“I can guarantee this one thing. There will be no reason for Buy Medicine to fail due to lack of money in the future.”
“…Woooooooh!”
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!
As Bill Curb steps back with a satisfied smile, Engel Barber takes the platform.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Engel Barber, CFO and Chief Financial Officer of Buy Medicine. From now on, Buy Medicine will operate with a greater focus on new drug development. Research Director?”
“Yes!”
An elderly man in his 60s with clenched fists hurriedly raises his hand.
“We will temporarily suspend all development except for five important ongoing research projects.”
“Yes, what?!”
Murmur! Buzz buzz!
Everyone who thought they’d be able to research freely with increased research budgets is greatly shocked.
“Instead, we will prioritize the development of vaccines and treatments for these three types of pathogens.”
Snap!
As Engel Barber snaps his fingers, information about pathogens appears on the screen.
“Corona virus…?”
“Look below that too.”
“Pan… demic?”
These are pathogens that various international organizations including WHO warned about last year.
The researchers who had fallen into shocked betrayal at the mention of research suspension become serious.
“The data on the pathogens is like this.”
Click!
“…Huh? What?”
“Crazy?”
Though briefly summarized data, all the researchers realize the moment they see it.
‘The new management had already been researching those things?’
And for a very long time at that.
Details that wouldn’t make sense otherwise.
Engel Barber also looks at the data again, bewildered.
‘They must have raided the Chinese research facilities.’
Probably that researcher who warned Johann, the researcher whose daughter was saved by Johann, must have stolen and handed over all the internal data.
Such a vast amount of data that wouldn’t make sense otherwise.
This was data Johann created by reading Ling Ling’s mother and other virus research facility researchers in China, but Engel Barber, who couldn’t know that, misunderstood it that way.
“This data should be updated on the research facility intranet, so please check it when you return and immediately begin development… Why are you doing that?”
Engel Barber wonders as he sees the researchers looking at one person.
“Um… I’m Senior Researcher Jack Boyan. I think this reaction is because I’ve been personally researching one of those pathogens, SARS-CoV.”
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus, which he was about to register as the company’s research and development project.
Like-minded researchers in the company had been researching it together for 8 years now, but there were limits beyond that point and there were visible results, so he was going to register it with the company.
He couldn’t register it because the acquisition talks came up about two months ago.
“Really? Then you must have deep understanding?”
‘What a coincidence?!’
Buy Medicine, meaning no one should be unable to buy medicine due to lack of money. It felt good from the start.
‘No, we were lucky from when we bought this company!’
Evgen happened to have a high research and development ratio, and they were even deeply researching one of the pathogens Johann wanted.
It seemed like God was blessing them.
‘Come to think of it, things seemed to go smoothly from when Mr. Johann became independent…’
Since independence and things going well had no correlation at all, it soon disappeared from Engel Barber’s mind.
“Then Senior Researcher Jack Boyan, please take the position of development team leader and organize a team.”
“Ah, understood!”
“The research budget for these three types is unlimited, so Research Director…”
Thump!
“Un, unlimited you say?”
“Yes. Whether it’s $100 million or $1 billion, it’s unlimited. You just need to develop it as quickly as possible.”
Also, once development is perfectly completed, researchers who participated in this development will receive top priority support for whatever pathogen they research later.
“Cr, crazy?!”
Of the time and budget most needed by researchers, the budget is unlimited. Plus future promises too.
They couldn’t help but scream with joy inside.
“Research Director, please organize teams for the other two types as quickly as possible and begin development… Any questions?”
Raise raise raise raise!
“Yes, over there?”
“I’m Abigail from the PR department. Recently, famous singer Johann Jefferson purchased $100 million worth of our Evgen, no, Buy Medicine pharmaceuticals. Is he perhaps one of our Buy Medicine shareholders?”
“I understand he has a friendship with one of the major shareholders. Next?”
The fact that Johann is the real owner of Buy Medicine must not be revealed. If his name were put on the shareholder list, it could raise various suspicions, so Engel Barber decided to hide the relationship.
After that, all kinds of questions poured out.
* * *
A few days later at LAX International Airport, LAX.
“I’m going.”
“We’ll be back!”
Johann and the Flashes say goodbye to their parents who came to see them off and turn around.
“You’ll be able to return safely, right?”
“You’re going with a volunteer organization.”
“God, please let my child…”
Parents watching their children’s backs disappear with eyes full of anxiety.
The Flashes’ expressions are also stiff.
“So why didn’t you go to Coachella?”
“You attended the prom party, you bastard.”
“Did you really spend over $100 million? Bro, give me some snacks.”
“Get lost.”
Men bickering with each other.
“Sigh. Your house is really nice.”
“Right. The whole house is warm and cozy but also cool. It’s somehow like a mother’s embrace. How did you find a house like that?”
“Johann picked it. Originally it was incredibly cool, but after construction ended, it changed like that, you know? Tsk.”
“Really? Hmm. Then should we ask you to find houses for us to live independently too?”
“So you decided not to bring Planet Destroyer?”
“Planet Destroyer is Ada’s cat, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“Ugh, what a shame. I’m confident I’d spoil her every day if she were at your house.”
“I don’t like that though? If you’re coming, call first. Though I won’t answer anyway.”
“Mean girl. Oh, right. But if Johann becomes independent like this, what happens to Larry and Ada? Are they living separately now? There’s no reason for them to be together anymore.”
Flinch!
“Hey, read the room.”
Women having ordinary conversation.
Johann opens his itching lips at their words.
“No? They’ll probably get married soon.”
“What?!”
“I saw Larry touching Ada’s ring finger.”
That was more of an exploratory touch than affection.
“…?!”
“Kyaah! Really? Is it true?”
Emily gets excited too.
“Since we’re going to Africa like this and don’t have to worry about us barging into their house, probably….”
“Ohoho?”
“Ah. There it is.”
Flag of Salvation.
The children whose eyes had been sparkling discovered people gathered under the blue flag and began to tense up with their mouths shut, while the people gathered under the flag looked at them approaching, hoping they might be volunteer participants, then were shocked.
“Jo, Johann?”
A celebrity who needs no introduction now, no, Saint Johann Jefferson.
‘We’re going on volunteer work with Johann? Us?’
“What the fuck-?!”
That was everyone’s sentiment.
Murmur murmur.
Inside the bustling airplane with people trying to enter and putting luggage in overhead compartments above seats.
Johann and the Flashes sit in their seats with excited faces.
Getting on the plane finally made it feel real that they were going to Africa.
“Wow! It’s been a while since economy class, hasn’t it?”
They ended up taking economy due to the organization’s budget issues.
“Ugh. It’s cramped.”
“Well, we’ve all grown a lot bigger.”
“Yeah, you grew uselessly big. But you’re still shorter than Mason?”
“Okay. Die.”
“Gack! Gack gack!”
Mason, frowning at the shaking seat, looks at Johann who’s gazing out the window.
“Are you okay? Should I switch with you? Wouldn’t the aisle seat be better since you have long legs?”
“Don’t sneakily aim for the window seat.”
“Even when I’m trying to be considerate…. Ah, but Johann. Do you know how many hours it takes to get to the destination? Was that kind of thing written on the plane ticket?”
“22 hours.”
“…Huh?”
“That’s if we’re fast.”
Clap clap clap!
“Now now, it’ll take about 11 hours to the first layover, so everyone rest well until then! Don’t get off until I say we’re going!”
“Yes-!”
‘Crazy?’
‘Shit?’
They turned pale and headed to Tanzania, Africa like that.
* * *
Protect secretly. Absolutely.
“Absolutely….”
Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Near the blue Flag of Salvation where volunteers from various countries gathered, a black young man with a camera around his neck looks at photos and messages on his mobile phone with narrowed eyes.
Johann Jefferson.
The great saint who supported Tanzania, which always lacks medicine, with a whopping 100 million dollars worth of medicine.
Converting this to Tanzanian shillings, that’s 215 billion Tanzanian shillings.
An amount of medicine that vastly exceeds the 2016 health sector budget of 198.8 billion.
A medicine bomb, no, a nuclear bomb of the most needed medicines for Tanzania – antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, painkillers, cold medicine, sanitary pads – had dropped.
“Ha, how nice it would have been if he’d divided the support.”
“Right. 10 million to Niger, 10 million to Chad. There are so many countries in Africa more desperate than Tanzania…. Don’t you think so, Writer Tanga?”
“Hoho. You prefer being called Writer?”
Flinch!
The black young man who was asked, photographer Tanga who will move with the Flag of Salvation and take photos this time, smiles awkwardly.
“Still, thanks to that, the Tanzanian people are benefiting tremendously.”
From the exponentially decreased mortality rate to people from other countries crossing borders to buy medicine released in the market and get treatment.
With the money they spend boosting the economy, Tanzania was currently experiencing a boom.
“That’s true but….”
When Tanga didn’t agree, they moved to find someone else who would agree, and Tanga watched them and let out a sneer.
‘Stupid bitches….’
“Those people have a talent for spouting bullshit in novel ways. This is why you can’t just accept anyone.”
Tanga looks at the Tanzania Branch Head of the Flag of Salvation who approaches and sneers, smiling awkwardly.
The branch head snorts.
“How someone spends their own money is up to them, but telling them to do this and that….”
What nasty attitudes.
And they’re stupid on top of that.
“What if he had divided the support into 10 million each like those people said.”
This is Tanzania where people die from lack of a single pill – cutting off arms torn by tree branches due to lack of antibiotics, dying when colds evolve into pneumonia due to lack of cold medicine.
Tanzania has a population of about 70 million.
Pouring 10 million dollars worth of medicine would have been like pissing on frozen feet, but with 100 million dollars worth of medicine pouring in, the barely breathing lifeline continued and even a foundation to move toward the future was established.
“Of course, it’s not like there weren’t individuals and companies supporting medicine before….”
With 100 million dollars added to that, this phenomenon occurred.
“This isn’t thoughtless, it’s really using your head cleverly.”
‘That’s right.’
Johann’s clever decision saved Tanzania’s future.
Tanga looks at Tanzania’s current President John Magufuli and the military band lined up in front of the immigration gate.
‘Would they have given this kind of treatment even with just 10 million dollars in support?’
Not at all.
“At this level, even terrorist groups like Al-Shabaab wouldn’t dare think of touching… no, you never know with those bastards. Tsk.”
This is also true.
Terrorists who might commit any kind of act.
Tanzania’s political situation could be said to have become peaceful after the Burundian rebels who disappeared in the 1990s, but it became chaotic again due to Al-Shabaab and others that emerged after 2008.
Fortunately, the places they’re going are away from their areas of activity.
“Anyway, Boss Conner did something big.”
Conner Watt of Conner Company, which exports grain to Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, etc., and imports minerals.
As a member of Salvation Flag who makes large donations every year, he brought such an incredible person named Johann Jefferson.
With donations pouring in from various places because of this, he really did something big.
Whirrrr!
“Ah! He’s coming out!”
Bang! Ba! Bam!
Tanga shouldered his bag and came out, then spotted the military band and watched Johann, who was startled in surprise, his gaze growing serious.
‘Must protect him secretly at all costs…’
A teenage global star who could bolt anywhere at any moment. He already felt a headache coming on.
He fell into thought, unaware that Johann was looking at him.
