Chapter 232 – 232. Murim Lord

After rescuing the survivors of the Haenam Wave in Haenam-do and absorbing them into Haenam University, we were reunited with the branch manager Mo Yong-soo in Guangdong.
Just a while ago, he crossed the sea and annihilated even a marine monster that was presumed to be a Ma Gyeongju in the Tajin language, a sacred word of Haenam, so he wanted to rest, but he had to report on the request.

As a witness, Seonyu, a prominent scholar of Haenam, joined in and reported the present situation of Haenam.

“Huh. Such a terrible thing…”

Upon hearing the situation in Haenam, Mo Yong-soo made a face full of regret. The civilians of an island starved to death all at once, and even the Haenampa, a part of the Gupaibang, suffered enormous casualties to the extent that the Munpa could not maintain it.
It could be said that it was unlucky because it happened only on an island far from the inland, but the extinction of the great moon could not be expressed in that way.

Knowing that, Mo Yong-soo doesn’t say anything and makes a sad expression with such a miserable face.

“Thank you for your hard work, Jang Moon-in.”
“What should I do with the past? And now, please refrain from using the expression ‘Jangmunin’. I am just one of the leaders of Uicheondan.”
“Yes? The leader of the Uicheondan?”

His eyes widen when he hears that one of the leaders of the old file room has become the leader of a hunting party out of nowhere.

It was such an amazing thing. Usually, after a long-serving member of a clan retires, he lives quietly as if he were in hiding.
Isn’t being a long-time writer a top position in the organization you belong to? He may not be the first person in the world, but he has risen to the position of the first person under the gate, the first person under the gate. When you come down from such a position of a long writer, you have less lingering about life, so such people are common.

Even though he was still young, he couldn’t help but be surprised that Seon-yu, who was once a great writer, became a bloody subordinate like me.

I said with a light smile at Mo Yong-soo’s surprised expression.

“Kick. Don’t be surprised. I’ll explain.”

It is said that Uicheondan will properly cooperate and provide support for the reconstruction of Haenampa, and that in return for it, Uicheondan will establish Haenamdae and take charge of it for the next ten years.

To sum it up, it was like this, so after hearing my explanation, Mo Yong-soo nodded his head saying that he was convinced.

“It’s certainly reasonable. If the revenge of the gentleman takes 10 years, but if the reconstruction of the old file chamber takes 10 years, it’s a cheap price. Heavenly luck has arrived, Jang… No, Haenamdaeju.”
“…Was lucky.”

A bitter smile forms on Seonyu’s lips. Some of his disciples and himself survived by luck, but all of Haenam’s family and close friends died, and the Munpa was on the verge of disappearing into history as it stumbled before it even attempted to rebuild.
At least I agreed to support them, so they could try to rebuild them, otherwise it would have been close to impossible with only those in Haenam who survived.

It’s just that she will have a feeling that if that luck comes a little sooner, she won’t be able to do it.
The human heart is naturally cunning, so the more you feel regret, the more you want.

“Good job.”
“…Thank you.”

Mo Yong-soo’s words of sincere consolation.
Seonyu just lowered her head to hide her bitter feelings.

“It’s a big deal anyway.”

Seonyu, who was present as a witness, leaves the branch manager’s office.
As soon as she was alone with me, her eyes full of worry went where, and she frowned as if she was in trouble as someone who had to deal with business.

“I never thought that one of the old file rooms would collapse in vain. Something comparable to the ‘Sandong Rebellion’ that happened last time has happened.”

I am from Shandong. The case in which Shandong Yuga was greedy and used the Devil’s Edge as a resource mine for too long, and missed the timing of the attack, and the Devil’s Edge was opened.

Even unlucky, it meant an accident in which a large number of deaths occurred because it was a monster in the form of a translucent gas spirit like a ghost, so that those below the first class could not even hit it. Wasn’t that why Shandongakga was forced to give up the last seat of the five generations in favor of the Hwangbo family?

Perhaps, if it had not been for that incident, it is the opinion of the public that Akga would have been included in the composition of the five generations instead of Hwangbo by now.

“As soon as this man is a victim, he comes out in his true colors. Aren’t you talking too casually?”
“That means that the relationship between the dragon and me is very special.”
“…”

Hearing that special relationship from a man makes me want to kill.
He pondered over whether or not to hit him seriously for a moment, but stopped because he would die if he hit him.

I was confident that I would kill him overnight.

“What’s the point of escalating such complaints in front of me anyway?”
“…Is it too obvious?”
“Yeah.”

If it were the usual Moyongsoo, he would have sent us out after receiving a report as a hunting team. However, leaving only Seonyu and leaving me means that he has something to say.
If it was something to say privately, of course we would have had a separate meeting later.

It was still a public position, so he said that he had something to do with me in public.

In the current Murim, there was only openness after Haomun’s destruction of the information group.
Because they smelled so bad, they often got information from Mo Yong-soo under the pretext of their friendship – they obtained it as a bribe called Jeong Ryeok-hwan. It’s a bit cocky, but to get the point across, I could tell because they were very close, just like what he just said.

“Kuhmm. In fact… Not long after you left for Haenam, a jeonseogu flew in from Bonmaeng.”

Main Blindness. It meant the headquarters of the Murim League, not the branch of the Murim League.

“At home?”
“That’s right. I was surprised when I opened it too. It was sent directly by the leader.”
“The leader? Goj… No, Dokgoja’s father?”
“Because it is.”

What kind of letter did the father of the eunuch send, so that branch manager Mo Yong-soo was paying attention to him like this?

‘No, more than that, what kind of business is the nobleman who didn’t say much when Dokgoja joined the Uicheondan?’

Because he was the Murim Lord who opposed joining the Uicheondan in the first place.
There was no reason why he, who formed an estranged parent-child relationship with Dokgoja, called me, the owner of Uicheon Dan.

A young man who is gritty, but can’t be reckless because he is an absolute master, is acting as the head of an organization as a friend of his son. As the leader of the Murim League, created with the ideology of putting importance on equality and peace, he would not have approached so as not to blush.
But starting with the designation request and sending a message through the branch manager? I don’t know what the purpose is.

“The lord said he wanted to meet you secretly.”
“…Now?”
“Of course not now. When you come to Meng to receive a reward for a designated request, they say they want to have an interview time. Maybe you’ll ask someone else to go and get the reward, so it seems like you’ve conveyed your intentions in advance.”
“It’s using your friendship with the branch manager.”

Mo Yong-soo smiled bitterly at my realistic point.

“The word use is therefore mutual aid. Although I invest a lot, there are times when I have to give change because I get more back than that.”

Mo Yong-soo, the king of investment. He had excellent negotiating skills and discernment, and he wondered why he hadn’t become a merchant.
The Murim Lord, who recognized his lumber, gave the position of branch manager to Mo Yong-soo, who lacked in martial arts, and that is why he gave convenience in many ways.

And in exchange for that convenience, he made me tell him to come to Maeng.

‘It’s embarrassing. It’s because I’ve been secretly drugged.’

If he refuses this, Mo Yong-soo will be evaluated as an incompetent person who can’t even do this simple task. As much as that, the convenience will be reduced and the inconvenience will not be one or two.
In other words, the Murim lord secretly told me to come to the Murim guild calmly if he did not want to embarrass Mo Yong-soo. Indeed, it was like the lineage of a family that stood tall as the guardian of Moorim by striking the back of the yellow dragon.

… But why is Dokgo so stupid?

It seems that he became more ignorant after becoming a patient with incomplete erection due to Geumgang Cheongoegong. Is it true that a man’s brain rests on his lower body?

“If you really don’t want to, I’m fine with sending a substitute, so don’t worry.”
“Huh? Really?”
“That’s right.”

Before I was surprised that Mo Yong-soo had said that seriously.

“Even though you will be demoted from branch manager to deputy manager due to your choice, and you will be criticized by his wife and lose your authority as the head of the household, but it doesn’t matter.
“…Chief, do you know that you have a really bad personality?”
“Chuckling. Sometimes trust is the scariest thing.”
“Trust? Not affection?”
“Isn’t it because I trust you, not the person you would do? If you didn’t trust me, there’s nothing.”

As if saying, “This is my belief,” Mo Yong-soo, who insisted so, was indeed a man worthy of the nickname King of Investment.

Laughing at the same appearance as always, I took out a power ring from the space expansion pocket and handed it to Mo Yong-soo.

“Here, take Jeong Ryeo-hwan, branch manager. Even if it’s hard outside, you shouldn’t live being mistreated inside.”
“Keuhmm. Kkeuhm. All these things…”
“Then can I not give it to you? Then I’ll take it back.”

It was the moment he said that. Mo Yong-soo used his internal energy to the maximum level to the limit of not suffering internal injuries, and took the short medicine that it was placed on my palm in the hands like a flash war.
I could have stopped it if I wanted to, but it was a bit surprising.

‘No, really. How did he move at a speed comparable to that of that man?’

It seems that Jeong Ryeok-hwan was an object that allowed men to overcome their limitations in many ways.
