Episode 431
A report ca from the subordinates who repelled the Ganja and invaders overnight.
I praised their hard work and went through each docunt one by one, carefully examining the contents.
‘There are three injured. There were no deaths.’
The scale of damage was small.
Those who were injured were limited to shallow cuts and bruises.
It was a completely natural result.
Because we invested too much power compared to the enemy we had to deal with.
Since I did not take the lead myself, I carefully arranged the personnel.
To avoid any unexpected damage.
‘The only anxiety I had was that it was difficult to predict where the disciples of the Hundred-Faced Reaper would appear.’
Fortunately, no significant variables occurred.
One person disguised as Namgung Cho-un sent an investigation team, including Cheon Ga-ryeong and Seo Ho-seon, to watch closely and then sent Woo Ga-jin and Bang Cheok-sam to catch him.
I didn’t think Namgunggeum would be involved in the process.
He said that he had been subdued and detained in an underground prison as per his wish, and I thought I should go see him right away after taking care of a few important matters.
‘by the way.’
I put the report down for a mont and rubbed my chin with an uncertain expression.
I was a little tired.
In the end, no disciples of the Baek-faced Reaper except Namgung Choun were found.
The expectation that one person would act as bait and attract attention while the other would move to achieve the goal was wrong.
‘I don’t understand.’
I don’t know if it was the Hundred-faced Reaper or the Demon Cult Master who ordered this incident, but either way, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of discomfort.
Should I say that it feels sowhat clumsy?
The level of enemies was below expectations.
To compare, the situation was like this.
‘I waited with a knife to kill a cow, but what appeared before my eyes was a chicken.’
Was the idea to give it a try even if it didn’t achieve results?
For that to be the case, the work began in too earnest a way.
Didn’t he use the advanced power of being a disciple of the Hundred-Faced Reaper as bait?
‘Normally, a corresponding person would be assigned to the side executing the operation.’
No, if it were in the first place, I wouldn’t have used soone like that as bait.
Perhaps Namgung Choun was just an outcast.
When I thought that for so reason I was out of the sight of the Hundred-faced Death God and had received an unreasonable order and was forced to jump into the grave, the back and forth ca into sharp focus.
You might wonder what kind of teacher in the world would reject a student like that, but considering the group called Demonic Cult and the tendencies of the White-Faced Reaper, it was quite possible.
‘For now, let’s just be satisfied with the fact that it ended cleanly and without any damage. As a bonus, a large number of criminals who had previously infiltrated the headquarters were also captured.’
I was reading the report again with a smile on my face.
I felt like I could feel presence outside the door, and then I heard the voice of my adjutant, Hwa Dae-rang.
“Boss. “A guest has arrived.”
“custor?”
“Pang Mun-hwan Daehyup would like to see the manager.”
“A welco guest has arrived. Please take us inside.”
I raised my head with a strange look in my eyes.
As I expanded my sense of energy, I felt a powerful presence waiting in the reception room on the first floor.
Pang Mun-hwan, Commander of the Hyeonmu Unit.
One of the connections made through the introduction of Lee Kang-hak.
Because he was frequently dispatched to Hebei, it was rare to see his face recently.
I knew that he had returned to the headquarters because I had seen him co to deliver the Lord’s Order not long ago.
‘Sooner or later, I will exchange with Lord Hyeonmu and head to the front again.’
So ti passes.
The door opened and a middle-aged man with a bushy beard appeared in the office.
I asked with a blank expression.
“……Are you senior Pang Mun-hwan?”
“Don’t you even know the report?”
“You look very different from what I rember.”
“You an this?”
Peng Mun-hwan smiled and touched his chin.
In my mory, Pang Mun-hwan was a man with a neat appearance who gave the feeling of being caught.
However, his appearance now was enough to believe that he was a mountaineer with a bit of exaggeration.
“It’s not that surprising. “I just put on so makeup.”
“make up?”
“After all, there is no way the beard could have grown this much in such a short period of ti.”
“I also wondered if you had a special constitution that was different from others.”
“Did you have a constitution that allowed your beard to grow abnormally quickly? At least I’ve never heard of it.”
“So why are you looking like that?”
A laugh ca naturally.
Isn’t this what you would see when visiting another departnt?
Pang Moon-hwan, who always looked stylish, couldn’t help but feel so fresh in his ridiculous outfit.
“I don’t know if you know, but Hyunmudae recently selected new mbers.”
“Did you?”
“Unfortunately, around the sa ti, there was talk that Cheonan Inspector General was recruiting applicants, so it was quietly buried. By the way, Hyunmudae is not a unit that can be looked down upon.”
“For that… I am sorry.”
“There is no need to be sorry. Thanks to you, the recruitnt was successful. “People who thought it would be difficult to pass the Cheonan Gambu flocked to Hyunmudae.”
“…….”
I pursed my lips.
It was a topic that was difficult to answer.
If I spoke incorrectly here, I could have been misunderstood as ignoring the current stage.
“To go back to the story, this is just makeup to scare the new recruits.”
“……?”
“New recruits think that I am an incompetent person who has not been promoted even at this age and is rotting at the bottom. Isn’t it fun just to think about it? “I wonder what will happen after this.”
“You also have really bad taste.”
“I tried to avoid doing sothing like this. But the standards of new recruits have to be very high. “I thought it was necessary to press it a little like this.”
“Is there a reason why you, the unit owner, should take on that role yourself?”
“It’s because there aren’t many of the existing mbers who haven’t shown their faces to the new mbers. “A prank should only be played by a high-ranking person. If an unscrupulous person pulls it off, they may face retaliation in the future.”
I nodded with a bitter smile.
Hyunmudae’s thoughts were the sa as those of Cheonan Inspector General.
Although the thod is a bit extre, isn’t it ultimately intended to make new mbers respect the existing mbers?
“Anyway, sothing big happened last night.”
“It wasn’t really a big deal.”
“You’re saying sothing absurd. “If the incident of the Demonic Cult’s elite troops infiltrating the Maeng’s headquarters is not a big deal, then what is the big deal?”
“We successfully repelled the intruders and there were no victims. “It was just a light disturbance.”
“It must be so from the perspective of the Cheonan inspector general. The current stage is now in ergency condition. “We are making a fuss, wondering what might happen if the ganja sent from the Demonic Cult were mixed into our unit.”
“…….”
“Anyway, the reason I wanted to et you is to tell you a story.”
“What do you an by story?”
“Elder Namhakgeom (嵐虐劍) wanted to et you.”
“yes?”
“Take it.”
Peng Mun-Hwan took out a neatly folded note from his pocket and handed it to .
I opened the paper, checked the contents, and narrowed my eyes.
There were only words indicating the place and ti, but no other information could be found.
“I think he sent on his behalf because he knew that if he sent soone himself, he would be frowned upon by the other elders. First of all, externally, I am neutral, neither a leader nor a seniorist.”
“I don’t know why you want to see all of a sudden. “Do you know the reason?”
“How should I know? He suddenly ca to in the morning and asked all sorts of things, so I was taken aback. “I asked them to wait for a few days so that I could at least take off my makeup and co visit them, but I guess they’re asking to hire them because it’s a matter of urgency.”
I put the note down on the desk and got lost in thought.
I didn’t understand what Namhakgeom was thinking when trying to contact .
When Ho Jeong-kwon (豪正拳) expressed his intention to et with through Hwayang Sangdanju, I thought so.
Because his position is in jeopardy without the support of Hwayang Sangdan.
On the other hand, unlike Hojeongkwon, Namhakgeom was not desperate.
Although it seems that the asceticism collapsed due to the demonic religion, he firmly established his position during the period when the absolute expert, Eum-gwi, was active as the head of the White Rangdae.
Even though Eum-gwi gave up his position as the Great Lord of the White Wolf, there was no way that Namhak-geom would not have anticipated that and prepared for it.
At least for a while, he wouldn’t be shaken.
‘Rather, now that Eum-gwi has entered Cheonan Gambu, Namhak-geom would want to do his best to avoid being suspicious of other elders.’
Nevertheless, the fact that Pang Mun-hwan was sent to ant that there was a reason for doing so.
There is a reason why you have to et , even if it ans taking risks.
‘…Is it because you have sothing to say about Hwang Musa?’
Although unknown to the public, Hwang Ho-jin, a mber of the Cheonan Gambu execution team, was a blood relative of Namhakgeom.
However, I did not think that Namhakgeom would have contacted for that reason alone.
Although he was clearly attached to his children, taking care of his own health was his top priority.
Otherwise, there is no way he would have kept his only son imprisoned in Seonhojang (鮮好莊) for such a long ti.
“What can I do? Would you like to et him?”
“I think so.”
“Are you okay? “I understand that the relationship with the Senate has completely deteriorated.”
“It would be okay to at least listen to the story. Could it be that they have set a trap and are waiting for it?”
“I don’t think preparing a trap will pose a threat to you.”
I created a samadhi fire, burned the note, and got up from my seat.
Ti was running out.
If I didn’t want to be late, I had to head to the eting point right now.
‘It seems like you were in quite a hurry.’
For now, I was planning on eting him as if I was being deceived.
It would be okay to make a judgnt slowly after finding out the other person’s intentions.
* * *
“Welco.”
“Long ti no see.”
“How long has it been since we last saw each other in private like this?”
“Have you been well so far?”
“It would be difficult to answer that you are doing well. “It’s because soone broke into the Senate and started a riot.”
“Who on earth said that? “He is the most disgusting person in the world.”
An old pavilion that no one visits.
Namhakgeom, who was sitting across from across the table, made a bewildered expression.
It was as if he was asking if you, and not soone else, would say such a thing.
“So why did you ask to see ?”
“Are you going to ask about my business as soon as I arrive?”
“Wouldn’t it be better for both of us if we just quickly run errands and break up? “It was none other than my senior who called out, making it clear that this was a more urgent matter.”
“Well, that’s not true.”
Namhakgeom, who tilted his teacup to quench his thirst, stared at my face in silence for a while.
It was around this ti that I thought about why I was taking such a long ti to say sothing.
An unbelievable story ca out of Namhakgeom’s mouth.
“A disciple of the Hundred-faced Reaper is hiding, disguising himself as a mber of the Hundred Dragons. “Take it.”
“……?”
