Episode 304
“……Sothing like that happened.”
“I see.”
“I think you need to be careful from now on.”
Woo Hwayeon, a beautiful woman with dark skin, nodded with her eyes delicately distorted.
For a while, the plan was to have Woo Hwayeon live in Wolhwajang (月華莊).
As a new organization, Cheonan Gambu found it difficult to imdiately provide a place for her to stay.
Although the foundations of the Inspection Departnt and the Legislative Assembly were absorbed, the buildings that the two departnts used as bases were not suitable for use as lodgings.
Above all, there was no way to know what Youngseong Dojang would do if Woo Hwayeon stayed and stayed in the building.
It’s hard to say that Wolhwajang was a completely safe place, but it would have been much better to protect Woo Hwayeon’s personal safety.
‘Once we start commuting together, the ti I can directly protect her will increase.’
In addition to Woo Hwayeon, many people would reside at Wolhwajang.
Due to the nature of the work, Cheonan Inspector General had no choice but to make many enemies.
Until the new building was completed, I had to live side by side with the mbers, even if it was a little inconvenient.
For reference, the new building for which Damwoon was drawing up plans was scheduled to be plastered with all kinds of structures and institutions.
So that outsiders cannot trespass.
“You’re calr than I thought.”
“I’m feeling very anxious inside.”
“Don’t worry too much. “I will take care to ensure that Sojeo’s personal safety is not in danger.”
“Just the words alone are reassuring.”
Woo Hwayeon drew a faint smile on her lips.
She was contemplating sothing, made eye contact with and said.
“Now that I think about it, I guess I should call you manager now.”
“You can call whatever you want. Sojeo is not my subordinate, is he?”
“Can I call you Unlang? “They say that won in the central plains use that title when calling n they are close to.”
“It’s not possible.”
“Why not?”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
I frowned and asked back.
Woo Hwayeon tilted her head as if she didn’t know why she was reacting that way.
‘The smoke is increasing day by day.’
Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference.
Is the kindness that Woo Hwayeon sotis shows purely from her heart, or is it a strategy for survival?
As a prisoner of war, she stayed in the central plains and the person she could trust and rely on the most was .
Of course, she needed to look good to .
Furthermore, it would be great if we could improve the relationship between n and won.
“Could you please spare so ti?”
“Do you need anything?”
“It’s not that, it’s because I wanted to take a look at Dongho Lake for the first ti in a while. I would like you to co with like you did before…”
“Soje. ” As I said a mont ago, now is a ti to be careful.”
“What’s the danger when the manager, and no one else, is with you? “I’m sure you haven’t forgotten the deal you made with .”
I nodded with a bitter smile.
I couldn’t refuse her request, let alone anyone else’s.
[May I ask why you are asking such a request?]
[If my workload is reduced by helping with the work, wouldn’t the branch manager be able to devote as much ti to ?] [
So, since I will be helping with the work, are you asking to hang out with Sojeo often from now on? [… ]
A promise made many years ago.
Hwayeon Woo has quietly helped with my work.
She might have complained about the endless workload she received every day, but even though she worked without pay, she never emphasized her hard work.
Honestly, I felt sorry for her.
Compared to the amount of work that Hwayeon Woo has done so far, the ti I gave her was very limited.
“If you do, please leave right away.”
“yes?”
“Don’t they say to remove the ox’s horn as quickly as possible? “It’s going to be hectic in the future, but at least I have so free ti right now.”
“All right. “Let’s get ready to go out.”
Woo Hwayeon stood up from her seat with a satisfied expression.

Road adjacent to Dongdong Lake.
A woman walking next to him let out a soft exclamation.
“It’s amazing to see it again. “I can’t believe such a big lake exists.”
The woman, Woo Hwayeon, was currently covering her face with cotton thread.
Unlike before, he did not insist on walking around with his face proudly displayed.
After staying in Jungwon for several years, she probably experienced a change in her state of mind.
“It’s nice to be walking leisurely like this. To be honest, when I passed by here before, I didn’t have ti to leisurely look at the lake.”
“…….”
That’s right.
In the past, when she passed this road, all the eyes of the people around her were focused on her.
There was an incident in which the author of the Un-O-Sega family nad Grand Duke mistook her for a slave and spoke harsh words to her.
She would not have been able to enjoy the scenery in peace.
She and I chatted for a while and stopped in front of a ship.
After paying the rent to the boatman, we rented a boat and moved to the middle of the lake, then took out the alcohol and glasses we had prepared and placed them on the ground.
After tipping the bottle and filling the glass, I handed it to Woo Hwayeon and asked.
“Aren’t you feeling stuffy?”
“What does it an?”
“I’m asking whether it’s frustrating to be locked up in the na of protecting one’s safety.”
“I appreciate your concern, but I don’t feel as uncomfortable as you think.”
“…….”
“As you know, I have lived my whole life under the gaze of surveillance. As my maternal grandfather’s puppet. In fact, I feel like I am freer now.”
For a mont, I saw myself reflected in her past life.
A passive life where I couldn’t do anything the way I wanted.
How much I longed for freedom back then.
Sotis I think about it.
Perhaps my decision to hold everything in my hands ca from my longing for things I didn’t have in my past life.
“I promise.”
“……?”
“We will create an environnt where no one dares to ignore or oppress Sojeo.”
“I will expect.”
“These are not empty words.”
He will beco a senator and gain omnipotent power.
So that no one can threaten or persecute and the people around .
Woo Hwayeon’s face beca slightly flushed.
He seed to be slowly getting drunk.
“It won’t take that long. “Please wait a little while.”
After speaking, he put his hand holding the glass in front of him.
Two glasses clashed in the air.

The conference room within the Inspection Departnt, now owned by the Cheonan Inspection Departnt.
I called two assistants and gave them a mission.
“Cheonan Inspector General’s first official task is to expose and punish the corruption of Jong-ri So-yeon, the leader of the Jujakdae.”
“Jongli Soyeon? “Are you talking about Geombong (劍鳳)?”
“That’s right.”
“What cri have you committed that you are punishing her for?”
“The cri of selling the secrets of the clan to the devil.”
Seo Ho-seon’s eyes widened.
A rising young nova.
It was hard to understand why a female expert who received so much attention from the world was so sad that she was engaging in internal affairs with the Demonic Cult.
To be honest, I didn’t know why she tried to gain power through such unfair ans.
With her qualifications, she would be able to achieve success even if she had an ordinary career.
Origin and background?
Although Botaam was not part of the Old Daemun faction, everyone acknowledged that he was a large martial arts power comparable to him.
Unless she dread of becoming an elder, she would never have been disadvantaged because of her background.
‘Well, that doesn’t really matter.’
The important thing was that she was a felon.
There was no one more suitable as the first sacrifice to raise the status of Cheonan Gambu than her.
Of course, it was not sothing that could be easily solved.
If she was treated as a criminal without securing solid evidence, in the worst case scenario, she could face a backlash from the main force.
Even so, Jujakdaeju was a person who did not like .
She is a principled person.
In a way, it was natural for her to give a negative look at , who had mastered goldsmithing.
Therefore, for the Cheonan governnt to take action, it had to be after all preparations were completely completed.
In the anti, we have entrusted Hao Wen with constant monitoring of Zhongli Xiaoyeon’s movents.
Although we have secured various circumstantial evidence, we have not yet been able to obtain conclusive evidence.
Basically, most Haomundo mbers’ martial arts level was not very high.
For them, it was impossible to attack the scene where Zhongli Xiaoyeon was dealing with the demonic cultists.
“I will leave this matter to you two. Please show the results of your training so far.”
“yes!”
Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon (Jeol Young-gaek) bowed their heads in a restrained gesture.
* * *
“Whoa.”
Seo Ho-seon took a breath with a nervous expression.
It was my first mission since becoming a mber of the Cheonan Inspector General.
I wanted to perform perfectly and prove that all my training was not in vain.
“…….”
On the other hand, Sa Woo-yeon was examining the materials handed to her by Yeon-woon without any change in her expression.
Seo Ho-seon looked at him curiously and asked.
“Aren’t you nervous?”
“Is there any reason to be nervous? “This isn’t the first ti I’ve received an order like this.”
The two n have learned the vision of Muyoung Shintu brought to them by Yeonsun.
We trained together for a long ti and naturally developed a friendship in the process.
It was safe to say that they were actually alumni, as there was no teacher who taught them.
“Isn’t the stage of activity different from before?”
“Of course, it would not be easy to secretly conduct an investigation within the main body of the Maeng. But I don’t think it will be a problem.”
“You’re confident.”
“Isn’t this already being done by the Black Night Unit directly under the Military Ministry? “There’s no reason it can’t be just the two of us.”
Seo Ho-seon smiled and nodded.
What Sawooyeon said was right.
Because both of them have achieved great achievents that cannot be compared to anything they have done before.
A transcendental peak just before the flower scene.
To borrow a phrase from Yeonsun, we had reached a stage where we could move straight to the next level if given so kind of opportunity.
It was not simply that the level of martial arts was raised.
He learned all kinds of skills, including stealth and disguise, and made them his own.
Professionalism has increased to an incomparable level.
I was confident.
Now, if you make up your mind and kill without warning, you can fool even the spirit of a hundred great masters.
Of course, the story would be different if the opponent was soone strong outside the standard, such as Yeon-Woon.
“It would be better to face it directly first.”
“I understand. “We will take turns watching the target.”
“I’m day, you’re night.”
“Why do you naturally want to take charge of dayti hours?”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll change it.”
“Change it for .”
“Tsk. “You don’t know how to refuse.”
Sawooyeon clicked her tongue once and put the docunts down on the table.
The new forms of the two n stood up and disappeared as if they were lting into the air.
