Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 307
Episode 307
‘But at least it doesn’t seem like he came to me with bad intentions.’
Jujakdaeju is a man of principle.
There was no profit or loss calculation in her actions.
Just do what you think is right.
Ordinary people do not give advice to people they have publicly criticized.
Because I knew for sure that the other person wouldn’t react well.
As I was thinking about how to respond, I picked up the teacup and drew a smile on my face.
“That’s surprising. “I just thought the great lord hated me.”
“You’re saying something strange. I don’t put my personal feelings first when dealing with others in public. “I just say that what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong.”
It was something I couldn’t relate to at all.
In the meantime, I’ve seen her point out other people’s mistakes, but I’ve never seen her praise or support someone.
By nature, humans are creatures that pay attention to other people’s shortcomings rather than their strengths and their evil deeds rather than their good deeds.
In her case, that tendency was a bit blatant.
‘I don’t know if he is even aware of that fact.’
Because of her personality, she had many enemies around her.
Not only the elders but also those belonging to the Maengju faction did not like her.
There were few people who tried to openly fight with her because it was tiring to get involved.
‘It’s not just about getting tired. ‘Because he is a person who has a great influence on the monks in a different way from Lee Kang-hak.’
Of course, there were people who were influenced by her outspoken words and actions.
Rather, the majority of followers supported and cheered her.
There were few people who worked as hard as she did for the rights and interests of ordinary believers.
If she had not had a solid support base in the first place, she would not have been able to rise to the position of the main leader.
As I said, she has many political enemies.
“It is an inexcusable fact that you have learned magic. “It is also clear that I view you negatively.”
“…….”
“But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of denigrating or belittling the achievements you have made so far. When I heard the news about the Inspection Department and the law enforcement party, I felt relieved. “It felt like a ten-year-old congestion was subsiding.”
I thought this might be the reason why Jujakdaeju came to me to give me advice.
It seemed like her evaluation of me had risen sharply without me knowing.
“I hope you will continue to fulfill your duties as the head of the Cheonan Inspectorate.”
“of course.”
Suddenly, a curiosity arose.
If I were to reveal here that I had used the bait of reduced immunity to placate the members who had been expelled from the inspection department and the law enforcement party, how would the head of the Jujak react?
I decided not to try the experiment because I was afraid of the consequences.
“Don’t worry about the part about the spiritual stamp. I know very well that he is a dangerous person. “This will be the first and last time I hold hands with him.”
It was a blatant lie.
If necessary, I was willing to join hands with not only dark people but also enemies who threatened my position.
“I guess I was worried for no reason.”
“no. Thank you for caring me.”
I left the place in a warm atmosphere.
I emptied my teacup and stared at the master of the jujakdae as he left the living room, and I muttered to myself.
‘I’m going to get a big gift soon, so I don’t want you to be too surprised.’
* * *
Five days later.
Sawooyeon said, handing me a report.
“I caught the tail.”
As I scanned the contents of the report, a satisfied smile appeared on my face.
It was a much neater job than I had vaguely imagined.
Seo Ho-seon glanced at my expression and quietly clenched his fist.
‘It’s rewarding to support and develop elixirs and martial arts.’
I felt like I could entrust missions with peace of mind in the future.
There were many things the two of them had to do.
Not only were they directly active in the field, but their responsibility was also to educate those who would later become members.
“I’d like to hear your impressions.”
“What sentiment are you talking about?”
“How do you feel about successfully completing your first mission?”
“It wasn’t much different from the missions the manager had given us so far.”
Sawooyeon answered simply.
Seo Ho-seon, who was watching quietly, smiled bitterly and added.
“There are more things to pay attention to than before. “More than anything, I was concerned that there were so many eyes watching here and there.”
“Are you talking about the dark night unit?”
“yes.”
“Except for the Senate, you should see that there is no place within the headquarters that is not under their gaze. However, there is no need to feel intimidated. They will literally just watch and not interfere with our event.”
“Honestly, I was surprised. “Some of them were difficult for us to detect.”
“It is said to be an organization directly under the military department, but in reality, it is an organization that carries out the orders of the leader. “It goes without saying that the standards are high.”
“…….”
“In the future, you two will have to lead a similar organization.”
Seo Ho-seon nodded with a heavy expression.
It felt reassuring to see him feeling so burdened but not resisting.
If it had been the old Seo Ho-seon, he would have said something he disliked first.
[Are you telling me to assassinate them?]
[Yes.]
[How can I assassinate them? They have a background!]
[It would be possible. I will support you to make it possible. Don’t worry about that.]
[How can you not worry!]
A conversation I had with him in the past at a guesthouse in Honam flashed through my mind.
The expression “immeasurable” is probably used in times like these.
‘It means that you have gained a lot of confidence in yourself.’
I felt confident.
I am confident that the second coming of heavenly death is not far away.
“Anyway, thank you for your hard work. “I will arrest Zhongli Xiaoyeon immediately.”
After finishing all the reports, Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon handed me over and were about to leave the office.
Following the sound of a knock on the door, a woman appeared inside.
Seo Ho-seon stopped in place and stared at the woman’s face with a blank expression.
“It just worked out. “I guess you haven’t greeted each other yet.”
“…….”
“This is warrior Yu So-hwa, who has recently become a member of the Cheonan Kambu. “He will be in charge of the department’s administrative duties from now on.”
Sohwa Yoo eventually accepted my suggestion and transferred departments.
Soon, he would become the central figure of Cheonan Gambu and oversee all administrative affairs.
Even if you were the general manager, you would only be working with less than five people.
“It’s Sawooyeon.”
“This is Seo Ho-seon.”
Unlike Sa Woo-yeon, who introduces herself bluntly, Seo Ho-sun’s voice comes out shaking.
Even I, who is insensitive to the relationship between men and women, could tell at a glance.
The way Seo Ho-seon looks at Yu So-hwa is unusual.
‘I didn’t expect this.’
Although she was an old maid who turned 40 this year, it was clear that Yu So-hwa was an attractive woman.
Her appearance looked quite young for her age, as if she were practicing Juan Gong (駐顔功).
He had a strange elegance and his abilities were also outstanding.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Seo Ho-seon felt a rational crush on her.
‘We’re roughly the same age. Maybe it will develop into a good relationship.’
I didn’t know it was an overly hopeful observation.
The woman I saw named Yu So-hwa was not interested in things like dating or marriage.
She must have been courted by many men, but there was a reason why she lived a life focused only on work.
‘Have I gotten older too? There is no other plan.’
To think this far with just the look in my eyes seemed like I was just using up a lot of useless imagination.
With a chuckle, he gave a congratulatory order to Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon.
Seo Ho-seon left the office, looking at Yu So-hwa with a regretful expression.
After the door closed and Yoo So-hwa put down the documents he had brought with him on the desk, he looked back and said.
“Did you say he was a warrior?”
After becoming an official member of the club, Yu So-hwa used the honorific treatment towards me.
I said it was okay to talk in private, but I didn’t really see much of anything other than work with her in the first place.
“I think I’ve seen you once before.”
“yes?”
“My memories are vague, but…”
Could it be that there was a connection between the two?
Is that why Seo Ho-seon looked embarrassed when he saw Yu So-hwa?
I stared at Yu So-hwa’s troubled figure with a different look in his eyes.
‘I heard that fate is so amazing.’
It made me realize that the world is small.
If there is a connection between the two, it means that Yu So-hwa became acquainted with Seo Ho-seon after he left the Manjang family and before Seo Ho-seon became my subordinate.
“First, I would like you to approve the documents I brought.”
“All right.”
“…Why do you look at it like that?”
“I’m just curious. “What happened between the two of you?”
Yu Xiaohua’s eyes were slightly frowned.
It was as if I was seeing my boss forcing me to talk about my first love while drinking.
“As I said, I don’t remember exactly. I think I’ve seen it somewhere before. That’s all I felt.”
“Is that so.”
“I’ll just leave now.”
It felt even more exciting.
Perhaps Yeo So-ok felt a similar feeling while watching me and Tang Seo-yeon?
To be honest, I wasn’t interested in documents at all.
I slowly stood up, looking away from Yu So-hwa, who was running away from the office.
I felt like calling Seo Ho-seon right away and asking him about the story, but now was the time to get to work.
‘Let’s go catch the criminal who sold Meng’s secrets to the devil’s cult.’
* * *
Kwajangchang!
A broken paper door making a loud noise.
Members of Cheonan Gambu entered the palace one after another.
“What are you doing?”
“This is not a place where outsiders are allowed to set foot!”
The indignant Suzaku members blocked the way forward.
Some even pulled out weapons and threatened them.
“I apologize for using a somewhat coercive method. Even if you explain that you are there to transport a criminal, they dismiss it as nonsense.”
“What a sinner! “What does that mean!”
“There is a person among the leaders of the Suzakudae who has been in secret with the Demonic Cult.”
“Nonsense! “There is no way such a person could exist on the Suzakudae!”
This was a problem for organizations with good internal unity.
When something happens, we cover it up and move on before looking into the context.
I spoke in a cold, subdued voice as if warning.
“If you want, I will show you the evidence later. So please do not disturb the Cheonan Gambu event anymore.”
I hope the imminent confrontation will continue for some time.
A roaring lion’s hoowa erupted.
“What is this!”
As I turned my gaze, the figure of a woman glaring at me with a terrifying force came into view.
Hwaseongdo, the master of the jujak, appeared in the arena.
