Chapters 398 – 399. Form an Alliance.

“What happened all of a sudden?”

Dang Jin-seol opened his mouth with a slightly surprised expression.

It was because a completely unexpected guest came.

“What is the reason you are coming to see your beloved brother?”

Kang Ha-yoon opened her mouth, bursting out with a voluptuous laugh.

“Well. It’s the first time I’ve known that you and I are so close.”

Dang Jin-seol spoke in a calm tone.

What she said was true.

They were two people who had not had much interaction in the past.

There was no such thing as a deep friendship.

“It’s friendship, shouldn’t we build it from now on?”

Kang Ha-yoon opened her mouth with a smirk.

“I guess it’s quite crowded, right? Seeing my unnie say something so regretful.”

Dang Jin-seol continued talking with a funny expression on his face.

The Kang Ha-yoon he knew was not the kind of person to come and say sorry.

He was the kind of person who was arrogant and said what he had to say.

But then she removes her heavy buttocks and comes to visit her and lets out a sad sound.

How could it not be fun

“It’s because I got caught by a terrible bitch.”

Kang Ha-yoon continued talking with an embarrassed expression on his face.

“Well, I heard about the trial. It was pretty serious.”

“I have nothing to say about the trial. I think it’s a legitimate punishment.”

Kang Ha-yoon opened her mouth in a calm tone.

Her words were sincere.

It ruined the life of a key figure.

A punishment like this would be too lenient.

“So you should have been caught innocently, did you rebel like that? Wouldn’t it have been enough for a few days of probation if it ended up with watershed or abuse of power?”

Dangjin Seol looked at Kang Ha-yoon with a pitiful gaze and opened her mouth.

“I couldn’t help it. I felt like I would die from my blood pressure if I didn’t squeeze the penguillan on the spot.”

“I’d rather have my blood pressure explode. Don’t kill the stern Baekho Dangju.”

“…Not dead.”

Kang Ha-yoon added her words as if making an excuse.

“Do you think she can recover from that injury? That’s enough to make her unmanned.”

After hearing her words, Dang Jin-seol snorted at her and opened her mouth.

It was because she was dumbfounded to say such a thing after taking her life as a soldier.

“It’s okay. You’ll be able to withstand that with your grit. Even though Baekho Dangju is weaker than me, he’s definitely a master of Hwagyeong Sanggyeong. I’m sure he’ll be able to recover.”

Kang Ha-yoon opened her mouth with a confident look on her face.

“What kind of confidence is that bastard’s theory of nature?”

Dangjin Seol shook his head from side to side and opened her mouth.

“So what do you want?”

Dangjinseol continued her words in a calm tone.

“…”

Hearing her words, Kang Ha-yoon bit her mouth tightly.

She couldn’t believe it because she didn’t expect that she would ask such a direct question.
‘… I thought there would be more Saddams coming and going.’

“You came because you wanted something. Or did you come to me to say sorry for your sister’s personality?”

Dang Jin-seol continued as if he knew everything.

“That’s true too.”

Kang Ha-yoon smiled and opened his mouth.

“Okay then tell me what you want.”

Kang Ha-yoon looked at her Dangjin Seol with her straight eyes and opened her mouth.

“Help me.”

“Yeah!?”

After hearing Kang Ha-yoon’s words, Dang Jin-seol asked her in return with an embarrassed expression on her face.

It was because he did not expect that the words to save his life would come out of the mouth of Kang Ha-yoon.

Who is Kang Ha-yoon?

Isn’t it the best military power of the Cheonmu-maeng that made even the head of the Phoenix Hall and the head of the White Tiger who reached the upper reaches of the Hwagyeong pass away from death?

But how could the words of asking for help come out of her mouth?

Dang Jin-seol made an absurd expression.

“I might die like this.”

Kang Ha-yoon spoke in a calm tone.

“Who the hell is killing her sister?”

Dang Jin-seol asked with an expression that he did not understand.

“The head of the law.”

“Paeng Garyeon, that girl? Do you have the ability to do that?”

After hearing her words, Dang Jin-seol snorted at her and opened her mouth.

Because she thought it was nonsense.

Paeng Garyeon was a master of transcendence.

She can be said to be quite strong, but she was so insignificant that she could not even be an enemy to Kang Ha-yoon, who was on the verge of greatness.

Does that mean she kills who she is?

“Brother, I guess you didn’t listen to the verdict properly? My history was banned.”

Kang Ha-yoon opened his mouth with a confused expression on his face.

“Ah, that’s right.”

Dangjin Seol opened her mouth with an expression as if he remembered.

After hearing Kang Ha-yoon’s words, Dang Jin-seol agreed.

It was because he thought that if she was the forbidden Kang Ha-yoon, even if she was the weak Paeng Ga-ryun, she would be able to kill her enough.

“That’s why I’m asking you. Ensure my safety.”

“Is it safe?”

“I’ve already crossed the river that I can’t cross with Paenggaryeon. She will try to kill me by taking advantage of my weakness.”

Kang Ha-yoon spoke in a calm tone.

“Perhaps the best time to head to Danga. I need protection. So I want you to keep me safe.”

“Hmm…Well, no matter how much you pretend to be with the law enforcement party…”

“What are you talking about when you’ve already become a crippled enemy due to succession issues?”

Hearing her words, Kang Ha-yoon frowned at her and opened her mouth.

She didn’t like Dang Jin-seol’s cowardice.

They were two people who already recognized each other as enemies.

But now, what are you talking about pretending to lose?

It was an absurd sound.

“Even so, it’s not strategically good to openly show hostility…”

Dang Jin-seol made a troubled expression and blurted out his words.

Warak

Kang Ha-yoon, who saw her, frowned.

I didn’t like it either.

If you want something, just say it openly.

“What do you want.”

Kang Ha-yoon spoke in a calm tone.

“Oh no, I didn’t ask for anything in return.”

“Okay, if there’s something coming, there must be something going. What can you do to protect me?”

Kang Ha-yoon directly asked Dang Jin-seol.

“Hmm…I don’t have to do that… But if my sister really wants something in return, I can’t help it.”

Dang Jin-seol smiled and opened his mouth.

“You know Lee Chul-hwa, right?”

“Isn’t it the leader of the Phoenix Party?”

Hearing her words, Kang Ha-yoon opened her mouth in surprise.

It was because it was unexpected that her name would come out of Dang Jin-seol’s mouth.

Lee Cheol-hwa was quite famous even within Bonghwangdang.

It was because he was admired by other party members for his high martial arts achievements and beautiful appearance that did not match his age.

“Convince her of her, so that we can stand behind her hunger.”

“…”

Hearing her words, Kang Ha-yoon put on an expression as if she was in trouble.

She didn’t want her own men to get involved in her faction fights.

“Can’t there be another way?”

“No. What Kia needs right now is talented people. That is, talented people under the age of 30. Lee Cheol-hwa is the only person in Bonghwangdang that meets that condition.”

Dangjinseol spoke in a firm tone.

It seemed as if there was no room for compromise.

“…Huh.”

Seeing her attitude, Kang Ha-yoon let out a sigh.

It was because she reaffirmed her firm will.

“Okay, let’s talk. But if she refuses, I can’t help it.”

“Even if she refuses, persuade her. Otherwise, I have no reason to protect her sister.”

“You’re just as vicious as Paenggaryeon.”

“The original deal has to be equal. Can’t I guarantee her sister’s safety for no reason?”

“Okay, I’ll do my best to convince you. To live.”

“Good idea. I’m sure her sister will make it.”

Dang Jin Seol smiled brightly and opened her mouth.

Kang Ha-yoon shook her head as she looked at Dangjin Seol.

It was because she thought that she was a formidable woman indeed.

Dang Jin Seol slowly held out her hand.

“Please take good care of me. Kang Ha-yoon unnie.”

“This way.”

Then Kang Ha-yoon also reached out her hand and held her hand.

Tight

The strength in her two hands was tight.

It was the moment when an alliance of only two people was established.

*********

“Ugya gyya gyakya”

Returning to the prison after the trial, Lee Jae-won straightened his arms and stretched him.

And he immediately lay down on the bed and began to roll around.

He was in a very good mood now.

Kang Ha-yoon, whom she regarded as a thorn in her eye, was relegated to Sacheon, far away, and even her history was forbidden, causing her to suffer.

How could I not feel good

‘So this bitch, I should have been nice to Mr. Seo.’

Lee Jae-won began to enjoy the touch of the soft bed with joy and happiness.

Everything was perfect

Everything that surrounds you

Kang Ha-yoon, who was digging into the truth of the Cheongsu Swordsman murder case, was demoted, and if he committed a crime, he perfectly took care of the fair image of punishing even his wife.

How could it not be perfect

Perhaps, not only the warriors of the Cheonmu-maeng, but also many warriors of Murim will praise him.

That too with fervor.

‘This is living!’

Jaewon Lee thought.

I wonder if living like this is true happiness.

There were beauties you could pick and eat here and there, you could eat whatever you wanted, and you even had a palace-like house that was cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

In addition, Ilshin’s martial arts were so powerful that they shook the heavens and the earth, and no matter what he did, many people acknowledged him and even praised him.

In addition, thanks to the body that is close to antiseon, I have been able to get the power of fire that does not age.

How could you not be happy

Here, he himself was a being close to God.

It is a divine word that no one can treat carelessly.

He thought.

That you will live happily here forever.

Jaewon Lee closed his eyes.

And he started to fall into the solsol suma.

I felt like I could go to sleep with a happy heart now.

Flash

At that time, a series of memories began to pass through Lee Jae-won’s head.

[Lee Jae-won, 3rd grade class 2 of English middle school]

[You always suffered from the fact that you had to go to school every morning, because all the kids ignored you and bullied you. It wasn’t just the kids. Even the teachers treated you as a problem child who couldn’t mix with you.]

‘No’

[But you know what? All of those things happened because you were ugly. The four of you who have never worked hard at anything, you didn’t study hard, you didn’t work hard, and you didn’t play hard!? You’re fat!]

‘No!’

[You seem to think you’re cynical yourself, but that’s just being rude and not paying attention to others!? That’s ignorant and a bunch of nuisance! You enjoy going alone and the other kids are childish!? That’s a lack of empathy, you stupid bastard!!]

‘No!!’

[You pretend to be cool, but in fact, you’re nothing more than a cool-headed brat who craves affection more than anyone else. You sick bastard Do you think you changed because you came to Moorim? Nothing has changed, you are still just an asshole!]

“Noaaaaa!”

Soon after recalling his memory, Lee Jae-won screamed and got up from the bed.

A cold sweat was dripping from Lee Jae-won’s forehead.

It was because just imagining it brought up terrible memories.

“Fuck”

Jaewon Lee spat out a curse.

It was because of the great anger.

At the same time, I felt puzzled.

Memories in modern times were memories that fell to Murim and had never been recalled.

But why do those memories suddenly come to mind?

“Keugh!”

In an instant, Lee Jae-won began to feel a severe headache.

At the same time, the memories that I had intentionally stored deep in my heart began to emerge clearly one by one.

I remember the woman sitting next to her crying unconditionally.

The memory of being locked in the bathroom with your mouth covered with duct tape until the security guard came.

The memory of being forcibly peeled in front of a woman I liked.

I remember being teased by all students for being nano-sochu because the peppers were small.

I remember having a fight with the next class bread shuttle called the bread shuttle battle.

The memory of losing to the bread shuttle in the next class and becoming number one in the school bread shuttle.

The memory of ignoring even the best friends whom I thought were friends.

The memory of going around alone in an amusement park where I went to a field trip because I had no friends.

When the teacher asked if I had any friends, I lied and said I was comfortable being alone.

Memories of swear words written on the blackboard every time after mobile class.

I laughed it off, saying not to play around, but I even remembered crying endlessly inside and erasing the curse words written on the blackboard.

That’s all.

Rumble rumble

Jaewon Lee shed tears.

Tears began to flow incessantly.

It was because the emotions that were tightly hidden burst out and stimulated the tear glands like crazy.

“Why!!!! Why are you thinking of me!!!!! Why!!! You must have sealed your memories!! Why!!”

Lee Jae-won, who was constantly rubbing his eyes, let out a scream.

Because he couldn’t understand English.

Memories that hadn’t come to mind for twenty years or so suddenly came to mind and made my heart ache.

“I’m the main character! This kind of past doesn’t matter to the main character! A three-line description is enough!”

Lee Jae-won let out a scream and emitted light.

“Forget it!!!!! Forget it!!!!”

Lee Jae-won’s crying anger began to grow even more.

Anger over an unforgettable past.
