Chapter 703 – 704

“Isn’t the situation completely different now from then!?”

Heo Sam-gwan was furious and raised his voice.

Things were different back then.

At the time Jangsam was cornered for the murder, wasn’t it a situation where he was arrested as a red-handed criminal and even fled, and was confirmed as a suspect under the circumstances?

It is a vast difference from naming a suspect as a suspect without any physical evidence, as it is now.

“What’s the difference?”

Lee Jae-won opened his mouth with a smile full of ridicule.

“At the time of being accused of murder, Jangsam was arrested as a red-handed criminal! Besides, he even fled, so he was presumed to be a suspect under the circumstances, right?”

“Isn’t it the same as saying that it’s just circumstantial and there’s no real evidence?”

“I should have told you he was a criminal in the act!?”

“Did you see?”

Lee Jae-won looked at him with sharp eyes and asked.

“Yes?”

“Did you see Jang Sam killing Paeng Ji-yoon?”

“…I couldn’t see…”

“Then why do you say that you are a red-handed criminal?”

Lee Jae-won continued with a smile as if he was having fun.

What is an active offender?

Isn’t it the name of a criminal who was arrested right after committing a crime or during it?

But how can he be called a red-handed criminal just because he is lying next to Paeng Ji-yoon, who has been dead for several hours?

It is nonsense.

“As far as I know, the current leader refers to a criminal arrested right after the crime or during the execution of the crime… Is it possible that the meaning has changed without the knowledge of the main leader?

“…He was lying next to Jiyoon Paeng, who had become a corpse…”

“But the time of death of Paeng Ji-yoon was two o’clock before the first discovery.”

“…”

“I’ll ask again. Do you really think Jang-sam is a red-handed criminal?”

“…”

Heo Sam-gwan was speechless.

It was because there was nothing that could be said to refute Lee Jae-won’s words that hit the point.

Because he wasn’t wrong.

Jangsam was not a red-handed criminal.

Heo Sanguan also knew deep down that he was not the culprit.

However, I was struggling to deny that feeling.

If he didn’t do that, it would be like admitting that he sacrificed Jang-sam in the name of the Cheonmu-maeng’s stability.

I’m sure other leaders will be the same as him.

In order to hide the ugliness full of desire, he was ignoring the uncomfortable truth.

However, Lee Jae-won revealed the inconvenient truth.
That too, frankly.

How can you respond in this situation?

What can I say

I just had to keep my mouth shut.

“You don’t talk. Beatitudes. A person who is usually so talkative.”

When Heo Sam-gwan kept his mouth shut, Lee Jae-won continued with a mocking expression.

“You and I have already crossed a river of no return. In this situation, building a conscience will not change anything.”

As if giving advice, Lee Jae-won began to speak slowly.

“If we frame Jang Sam as the culprit, this situation will be able to calm down enough.

“…”

“Hasn’t this happened before? Think of it as just repeating it.”

Lee Jae-won continued with his soft voice, as if seducing him.

As if to alleviate his guilt.

“…”

And Heo Sam-gwan did not refute anything.

It was an unspoken affirmation.

It is about trying to overcome the crisis by accusing Jangsam as a criminal.

Ssik

Seeing this, Lee Jae-won put a deep smile on his lips.

‘He’s a sure accomplice now.’

Now, the leaders and Lee Jae-won have become a community of destiny.

We have come to share each other’s weaknesses.

“This leader agrees with Gyebangdangju’s opinion. In order for Cheonmu-maeng to survive now, it is necessary to point out Jang-sam, the official of Murim, as the culprit, and solidify that the contents written on the poster are a scheme to discredit Cheonmu-maeng.”

Lee Jae-won looked around the crowd and continued.

“What do you guys think?”

And asked them

That’s what you think

“…I agree.”

At that time, he expressed the opinion that Lee Dae-gon, a pro-maengju faction, was in favor of it.

“I agree too.”

“I agree.”

“I don’t think it can be helped for the sake of the cause.”

“Isn’t it already spilled water? I don’t think spilling it again will change anything.”

“Me too. If it’s for the Cheonmu-maeng…”

Then, the leaders, both pro- and anti-major groups, began to agree.

While spitting out the self-excuse that it is for the sake of the cause.

Seeing this, Lee Jae-won put a deep smile on his lips.

It seemed that things would work out thanks to a great disciple like Aemuldanji.

Sacrificing him again to secure stability for the Cheonmu-maeng.

“Okay, I’ll accept everyone’s opinion.”

Lee Jae-won continued his speech with a calm expression on his face.

I dare to add that I will reflect everyone’s opinions.

“I need to express my official position on this situation.”

“No.”

At that time, Gyebangdanglord Cha Do-jin, who had been silent, spoke slowly.

“I think it would be better to postpone the announcement.”

He continued with a serious expression on his face.

“Why?”

Jaewon asked him with a puzzled face.

It was because until just a moment ago, someone who accused Jangsam of being a criminal wanted to delay the announcement, which made them wonder.

“Shouldn’t we make evidence that everything is Zhang San’s work before we announce it?”

“…Evidence?”

“That’s right.”

Cha Do-jin nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“If it is not proven that Jangsam’s actions are not proven, there may be people who do not believe in the announcement of the Cheonmu Maeng.”

“…Hmm…Surely…”

Hearing his words, Lee Jae-won nodded as if in agreement.

It was definitely not wrong.

Like a country full of suspicious patients

In midfield, it was full of cockroach-like bastards who looked at them with suspicion.

Hard evidence was needed to incite such bastards.

It is a firm proof that Jang-sam is the culprit behind everything.

“How are you going to make the evidence?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to create a witness?”

“Witness?”

“That’s right.”

Cha Do-jin started to let out a cold smile.

It seemed like he had a pretty solid plan.

Lee Jae-won looked at Cha Do-jin with an interesting expression.

It was because he was looking forward to what kind of trick he would impress himself with.

“Do you have any ideas?”

“There’s no way I’ve been thinking about it…”

“Tell me not to mind!”

Lee Jae-won urgently urged him.

“But there is a problem.”

“What do you mean there’s a problem?”

“It may take some sacrifice.”

“…Sacrifice words?

“Yes, to add credibility, it is necessary to emphasize Jang-sam’s viciousness.”

“…Hmm.”

Jaewon Lee put on a worried expression.

He honestly didn’t mind being himself.

It doesn’t matter who dies or not.

But these snarky leaders didn’t seem to allow that.

“What do you guys think?”

Lee Jae-won handed over the decision as it was.

It was a specification to use dumpers.

“…I think I have to make sacrifices.”

Then Lee Dae-gon answered right away.

He immediately recognized what Lee Jae-won wanted and spat out his words.

“I never thought I would succeed without any sacrifices.”
“Neither do I.”

Then the top leaders all started to agree.

At the point of admitting the uncomfortable truth that Jangsam was the scapegoat

Hypocrisy seemed to have been put away.

‘Have you seen these power-mad assholes?

And Lee Jae-won looked at them with a funny expression.

It was because I found it so much fun to see them throw away all hypocrisy and run like dogs.

Now you’re being honest.

To their desire

And it went crazy.

To the power that is so sweet.

Soon, the meeting hall was filled with the voices of mad dogs and pigs.

In the end, all the leaders except for one person, Heo Sam-gwan, voted in favor of the inevitable sacrifice.

Cha Do-jin, who watched the scene, began to recite the plan he had in mind.

A mad smile began to form on the lips of the leaders who heard his plan.

It was because it seemed like a pretty satisfying plan.

************

“Whoaaaaam”

Jo Jun, a member of the Hyeonmudang, let out a big yawn.

It was because he was suddenly hired to stand guard duty near a commercial district.

In general, it was a basic consideration to inform in advance before standing on guard duty so that he could sleep.

It is a situation where such consideration was not even received in an emergency situation that suddenly occurred.

‘It’s like a dog.’

Joon-joon swears inwardly.

It seemed that he did not like this situation, which was suddenly borrowed.

“I’m going to put flies in my mouth, dude.”

Then the woman next to her beat him up.

Like Jo Jun, she was a woman named Yehwa who belonged to the Hyeonwudang.

“What should I do when I’m sleepy?”

“Even if you’re sleepy, don’t show it. What will other people think if they see it?”

“Where is the other person at night!?”

Jo Joon frowned and continued.

It was because I didn’t like her attitude of bruising in a situation where not a single ant cub passed by.

“You never know. Always be vigilant and behave neatly.”

“I always feel that you are too stiff, Yehwa.”

“You’re too slow. Aim.”

“It’s not that I’m backed down. It’s relaxed.”

“What’s the point of not having even a single ability? It’s just a blur.”

“You have no ability!”

“You’ve been a regular warrior for five years, right? Isn’t that proof that you don’t have the ability?”

“I refused a promotion!”

“Don’t lie to me. I’ve seen the last time I missed a promotion and drank too much!?”

“Why are you being so sensitive today! Are you menstruating?”

Joon raised his voice with an expression of incomprehension.

It was because she didn’t like her for being sensitive to her today.

“I used to be like this! You bastard!”

A quarrel between the two began to intensify.

“Do not talk to me!”

Joon raised his voice and shouted.

Then she jerked her head to the side.

It was because I thought I couldn’t win in an argument.

“Don’t bet you!”

Yehwa also wondered if she didn’t feel the need to argue.

She groaned.

“…”

Silence soon established between the two.

How long has it been like that

“Hey, Joon.”

Yehwa, who jerked her head to her side, called out to her as she slowly opened her mouth.

“Are you really mad?”

“…”

But Jo Joon was just silent.

It seemed to have been squeezed hard.

“Whoa”

Yehwa let out a big sigh.

It was a sigh mixed with annoyance at this narrow-minded man.

“A narrow-minded bastard.”

She started provoking him again.

It was because I thought it would be better to have a big fight and solve it rather than an awkward atmosphere.

“…”

But Jo Joon was still silent and didn’t say anything.
Warak

Yehwa frowned at her.

Apparently, this small-minded man did not seem to have the ability to let go of his anger easily.

“Stop getting angry and get angry…”

Yehwa turned her head, which had been turned to her side, and opened her mouth again.

It was a way to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But she couldn’t follow all of her words.

It was because her brain stopped at the sight so astonishing that she doubted her eyes.

Although she turned her head to the side

There was no aim.

Instead, only his body remained.

She was cut off

That’s his neck

‘This…What is this…What the hell…Is this… A dream?…Is it a dream?

She closed her eyes tightly.

And she prayed inwardly.

I hope the scene unfolding before your eyes is a dream.

Flash

Soon she opened her eyes and became desperate.

It was because she was able to realize that the scene unfolding before her eyes was not a dream but a reality.

“Quaaaaa”

Soon, Yehwa, whose brain suspension was released, began to let out a shrieking scream.

Her comrade, whom she had shared and shared with her for years, became her decapitated corpse.

How can I not scream

Chuck

At that time, I suddenly began to feel a very cold touch on Mokwooldae.

Surprised, Yehwa screamed and then stopped.

She was frightened by the chill on her neck.

“Yehwa, you have to be quiet.”

And a man’s voice began to pierce her ears.

Yehwa slowly looked away from her.

And she could see

It’s the look of a man who is all too familiar.

“Are you going to take responsibility if you get caught?”

A man who was once the leader of the Hyeonmudang.

A man who was declared a Murim Gong for killing women’s cooperatives for decades.

A man who was the only disciple of Cheonmu-maeng.

It was Jangsam.

“It’s been a while. Our Yehwa?”

Jangsam continued with a deep smile on his lips.

And Yehwa’s eyes began to be colored with astonishment.
