Episode 305
Two days passed.
I opened my mouth, looking around at the n gathered in the large indoor space.
“As you know, I have the authority to decide your disposition.”
A large group of about 100 people in total.
All of them were apostles who had been expelled from the inspection departnt and the law enforcent party and were waiting for my decision.
As I sat with my arms crossed arrogantly and watched the reactions of the middle school students, I scolded them with a hint of force in my voice.
“According to the rules of the ng, depending on the nature of the cri, punishnts such as confiscation of property, flogging, imprisonnt, and abolition of Dantian will be imposed!”
gulp.
The sound of soone swallowing dry saliva pierced my ears.
“It’s an exhibition now. It’s a sha that one person is an expert. So, just once for all of you gathered here. “We will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes.”
Of course, not everyone was given a chance.
The head of the inspection departnt and the law enforcent leader had to punish him in front of the general public, even if only because of symbolism.
In the anti, I planned to dispose of so particularly bad criminals and those who were likely to rebel against all at once.
“Once you are dismissed from this position, you will be stripped of your qualifications as a monk and expelled from the gang.”
“what do you an! “Didn’t you say a little while ago that you would give a chance?”
So, are you planning to show rcy to the rest whose cris are relatively less serious?
No way.
I said I would give them a chance, but I did not say I would guarantee their identity and status.
“Listen to the end of the story. In the future, Cheonan Inspector General plans to operate several unofficial units. “You will be assigned to each unit and carry out your mission.”
“Unofficial unit?”
The na of the man who is tilting his head as if he does not understand what is being said is Park Woo-kyung.
He was a forr mber of the Inspection Departnt and held the position of leader.
“If you plan to refuse, please say so here.”
“…….”
“As I said, this is an opportunity I am giving you. The property of those who accepted the offer will not be confiscated. “I will not abolish the Danjeon or flog you.”
“What if I refuse?”
“He should be severely punished according to the rules of the ng. According to due process.”
I responded indifferently, as if asking sothing so obvious.
Park Woo-kyung, who was at a loss for words, pursed her lips.
Everyone just looked at with uncomfortable expressions and couldn’t easily open their mouths.
They should have known that too.
If things continue like this, they have no future.
How many people have been hard by them so far?
‘The words of those who lost power and fell are established.’
The positions are reversed and the prey becos the predator.
The karma that you have accumulated so far cos back and is suffocating you.
Moorim was that kind of place.
The people gathered here couldn’t have been so stupid that they couldn’t even picture that natural future in their heads.
Those whose cris are of low quality and who have preserved their martial arts skills may sohow succeed in escaping and start anew.
So what happens to those who lose their Danjeon?
‘Even at this point, no one knows the criteria for determining punishnt.’
What if I, the head of the Cheonan Inspector General, gave an order to ‘treat all non-compliers as felons and destroy the Danjeon’?
From their perspective, it was sothing that seed unlikely but could very well happen.
No one would want to take that risk.
In the end, there was only one option for them to choose from.
“It won’t be such a bad story for you either. Depending on the nature of your cri, we will determine the period of ti you will be active as a mber of the unit, and after completing your duties, we will take steps to ensure that you can safely return to your hotown or to your shrine. Of course, it is possible for the person concerned to remain in the unit if they wish.”
“…….”
“We will pay your basic salary and activity funds. We will also consider reducing the mandatory period or providing additional compensation depending on performance.”
The Inspection Departnt and the Legislative Assembly.
Due to the nature of the work, among dozens of departnts, these are organizations with many elite military personnel.
It was too much power to just throw away.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea if I could eat as much as I wanted in exchange for my sins being abated.
I hope there will be a mont of silence.
Park Woo-kyung carefully raised his hand and started singing.
“I want to ask you one thing.”
“Please speak.”
“I understand the manager’s intention. But can’t that plan be promoted only after the credit-related issues are resolved first?”
“credit?”
“Please don’t misunderstand. I don’t doubt the manager’s words that he will allow to return ho if I complete my mandatory period. In fact, it’s the opposite. Manager, can you trust us?”
“…….”
“If we are unable to give up the habits we had when we were leaders and commit evil deeds again, or if we hold a grudge against the manager and stab him in the back. “What would you do if such a situation occurred?”
“Don’t worry about that. “I am planning to run a separate execution unit separate from the units you will be a part of.”
As Park Woo-kyung said, the military personnel of the inspection departnt and the law enforcent party simply could not be trusted.
Let alone individual skills, you cannot expect loyalty.
So, I was planning to take various asures to prevent problems from occurring.
The execution squad was just one of the deterrent devices I had envisioned.
Create a rank system within the unit, plant inforrs, receive periodic reports, etc.
The point was to prevent the mbers of the unit from having different feelings and from uniting with each other.
Of course, I had no intention of telling that much to those gathered here.
I would experience it directly in the near future.
“Is there anything else you’d like to ask?”
* * *
The training hall within Wolhwajang.
I kicked off the ground and jumped up, swinging my arms vigorously.
Eight needles protruding from the sleeves flew towards the target, each tracing a semicircular trajectory.
Puff poop!
Needles stuck at regular intervals from the head of a large straw doll to its groin.
I sorsaulted and landed, frowning slightly.
I couldn’t draw the perfect number 1.
Third from top and second from bottom.
It was noticeable that the two needles were slightly off the intended point.
It was a subtle difference, but I knew that in real life, that error would be the deciding factor between victory and defeat.
So I couldn’t help but feel dissatisfied.
‘It has sohow reached a level that can be used in actual combat.’
There is still a long way to go.
Dark flying sword.
As a martial artist with the spirit of a poison king, it was not easy to achieve great success.
Still, it was worth training because of its usefulness and power.
Even though he made an unconscious attack at close range, he was able to guess just how outstanding a martial arts fighter he was by just looking at him defeating the director of the inspection departnt, who was an expert at the highest level, with one move.
‘If the opponent is a low-ranking warrior, this would be enough.’
However, assuming that I had to fight against a high-level expert, I couldn’t be satisfied with this.
During that ti, there was not a single day when I neglected my martial arts training.
No matter how busy or hectic I was, I never missed personal training.
Thanks to this, the proficiency of auxiliary martial arts, including Amyeongbido and Sueumgong, has greatly improved.
As the number of cards in hand increased, the range of tactics to choose from naturally expanded.
Now I have confidence that even if my opponent is an absolute expert, I can endure to so extent.
Although I have not yet overco the wall of the current police, I did not feel impatient or at a loss.
I am confident that if I continue to move forward like this, I will eventually reach my destination.
“Whoa.”
I left the gym, wiping the sweat from my face with a dry towel.
A young man waiting outside spoke to as if he had been waiting.
“A ssenger has arrived.”
“Who sent the ssenger?”
“Sohyeongeom (昭賢劍). “I am an elder from the Hwasan faction.”
After completing the report, Hong Seong-hyeon handed a letter.
He bowed lightly and left.
“…….”
After checking the contents of the letter, I narrowed my eyes and beca lost in thought.
It was a sensitive ti when the launch of Cheonan Gambu had just been announced to the world.
There was no way that Sohyeongeom could not have known what political significance it would have for to et one-on-one with an elder of ng at this ti.
Although they colluded with Yeongseong Dojang to absorb the inspection departnt and the law enforcent party, there was a strong impression that it was a public affair.
‘I don’t know your intention.’
After washing my body and changing my clothes, I left Wolhwajang and headed to the location ntioned in the letter.
There wouldn’t be much point in worrying about it alone.
I decided that it would be better to face it directly and respond accordingly.
‘Anyway, it’s been a while since I had a drink with Sohyeongeom.’
* * *
A base adjacent to Dong-ho Lake.
As I climbed to the top floor of the palace, I found an old man sitting by the window leisurely drinking a glass of wine and bowed to him.
“Have you been well so far?”
“Welco.”
“It seems like the junior kept the senior waiting for a long ti.”
“There is no need to apologize. Rather, I am grateful that you responded to my sudden call.”
Light greetings were exchanged.
As I headed toward the window, I let out an inward exclamation.
‘That’s what I thought when I saw Maengjubu in my conference room.’
Sohyeongeom still looked sane for his age.
It felt like I had bypassed the passage of ti.
‘In fact, I feel like I’ve beco even younger in three years.’
It was the exact opposite of Maehwashingeom, who was getting older day by day.
After all, people should live by eating what they want and doing what they want to do.
If you put your body through a hard ti by saying you are abstinent and abstinent on bad days, aren’t you aging prematurely?
“Co and sit down.”
Although the Hwasan Sect collapsed, Sohyeongeom’s position was still strong.
It was different from the Hujeong faction, which lost its power base after the fall of the Kunlun faction and went into seclusion for a while.
There were several reasons.
First of all, most of the main factions of the faction, including Maehwasingeom, survived and are currently exerting a strong influence as an axis of the allied forces protecting Sacheon.
In addition, the political power of the parties was outstanding and the foundation built so far was solid.
When the volcano wave collapsed, it was not that there was no one who checked and put down Sohyeongeom, thinking it was ti.
But Sohyeongeom did not take it easy.
He seed a little shaken at first, but at so point he cornered his political opponents and silenced them.
You can’t tell how impressed I was when I learned about the series of processes through Hao Wen’s information magazine.
“So why did you call ?”
“I called because I wanted to have a drink with my junior after a long ti.”
“Is that all?”
“Why are you disappointed?”
“Is that possible?”
I never thought that Sohyeongeom would really call for no reason.
Basically, he was a person who acted for his own gain.
Until now, his and my interests were aligned, but now they are not.
If I were to let my guard down because my vision was obscured by the emotions I had been feeling, I could have been stabbed in the back of the head.
“Take it.”
Sohyeongeom handed a drink.
Afterwards, we exchanged small talk near the class.
As the atmosphere matures.
He suddenly asked a question I had heard before.
“What do you want to achieve?”
