Chapter 84
Even though there was a loud noise coming from behind, Byeoktaesan continued to climb the stairs.
Halfway up, Hwa-ok and Yoo Seo-yeon followed.
Machungsam, who leads the way in guiding Byeoktaesan, took such attitude of Byeoktaesan for granted.
As They climbed all the stairs, Hwa-ok suddenly stood close to Byeoktaesan.
She whispered quietly in the ears of Byeoktaesan.
“Sir, I think you should be careful.”
Byeoktaesan looked at Hwaok with eyes as if to what it meant.
Hwa-ok’s expression was not good.
Byeoktaesan stopped walking.
Then, she stopped taking the lead and turned around and looked at Byeoktaesan.
There was no question about his expression. She just seemed to wait until he moved back to her steps since Byeoktaesan stopped.
Byeoktaesan said without even looking at Machungsam.
“I have something to say to this child, so lead us to a quiet room.”
Machungsam bowed his head politely.
“That’s exactly the room I was going to take.”
Marchungsam turned around again and moved on.
And when They arrived at the room at the end of the hallway, he opened the door and stood next to it politely.
When Byeoktaesan entered the room, Hwaok followed in.
Yu Seo-yeon tried to follow, but Machungsam blocked it.
She looked at Byeoktaesan reflectively.
When Byeoktaesan shook his head, Yoo Seo-yeon stepped back.
After closing the door, Ma Chung-sam told Yoo Seo-yeon.
“Shouldn’t you step back more so you can’t hear his voice?”
“Oh…okay.”
Yu Seo-yeon saw Machungsam with fresh eyes and stepped down from there.
* * *
Entering the room, Byeoktaesan sat down in a seat that was originally prepared for himself.
It was a place where He could sit and look down at the room.
“Sir, I saw a sword standing in the black sky in that man.”
“A sword stands in the black sky?”
“Yes.”
Byeoktaesan asked with a curious look.
“So?”
Hwa-ok spoke in a serious tone.
“According to my experience… The scene is often seen in the warriors of Cheonmashingyo.”
“Cheonmashingyo?
“Yeah, not precise, but I guess it’s a low-level warrior.”
Byeoktaesan looked at Hwaok with interesting eyes.
“So you’re saying that the low-ranking warriors of Cheonmashingyo are carrying black skies and swords? Interesting.”
It was really fun. And He thought Hwa-ok’s ability was great again.
The black sky symbolizes Cheonmashingyo, and the sword standing there symbolizes the owner of the Hyeoncheon, Cheonma.
So, isn’t it a scene that expresses the true nature of Cheonmashingyo warriors?
“But low-ranking soldiers or what?”
The words bothered me a little. If so, isn’t it that he has a different mind when his position rises?
“In fact, I’ve rarely seen a high-ranking official from Cheonmashingyo…But everyone I saw was different.”
Byeoktaesan nodded.
There was no conviction in the tone of Hwa-ok.
I can fully understand. Perhaps it was not easy to see the lower level of Cheonmashingyo either.
Rather, it was even greater to see such a person often and gain related experience.
“Okay, go tell them to come in.”
Hwa-ok replied with a determined look.
“Yes, please… be careful.”
When she opened the door and went out, a waiting man named Ma Chung-sam and Yoo Seo-yeon approached.
When Machungsam went inside first, Yoo Seo-yeon tried to follow him, but this time Hwa-ok blocked it.
“I think we’d better wait outside.”
Yoo had no choice but to look at Byeoktaesan again this time.
A smile fell on the mouth of Byeoktaesan. And shook his head.
Yoo Seo-yeon had no choice but to take Hwa-ok to the waiting area.
‘I hope today’s schedule gets longer.’
* * *
When the door was closed, Machungsam fell flat in front of Byeoktaesan.
“Greetings again. Machungsam meets Byeoktaesan.”
Machungsam was a member of Cheonmashingyo’s Bicheondan.
Bicheondan was an organization of Cheonmashingyo that engaged in outside secret activities.
They were never allowed to reveal that they belonged to Bicheondan.
Machungsam kept his duty faithfully.
He never said that he was a member of Bicheondan.
“Yeah, why did you want to see me?”
“We’re ready.”
Byeoktaesan tilted his head slightly to the side.
“What do you mean?”
“We have organized all the forces around the Black Island around Dongho Pyo-guk. And we’ve absorbed all of the vastness of the Muhan Black Island forces.”
Byeoktaesan’s expression got cold.
It seemed that the Black Islanders on the first floor of the guest’s room absorbed it from Muhan.
“Why?”
“What?”
Machungsam was surprised and looked up at Byeoktaesan.
“Who did it and why.”
“Well, I… I just followed the Lord’s orders.”
The leader of Donghopyoguk was the leader of Bicheondan. Machungsam is a member of the team.
“You followed the orders? Are you going to follow my orders if your Lord orders you to hit the back of my head?”
A cold sweat flowed from the whole body of Machungsam.
“Oh, no.”
Byeoktaesan continued in a cold tone.
“Did you guys intend to go to Muhan?”
“Well, that’s… I honestly don’t know.”
Byeoktaesan smirked.
It would not be an ulterior motive for Machungsam to pass all his sins on Donghopyoguk leader. He was just saying what he knew.
In other words, this was done by Donghopyoguk leader.
“Who did I say I was?”
“I didn’t hear you.”
“Who do you think I am?”
Ma Chung-sam hesitated not knowing how to answer.
He thought he was the child of a very high man in Cheonmashingyo, but he couldn’t talk about it.
Because he was a member of Bicheondan.
“I thought you were very… precious.”
Byeoktaesan smirked.
“Did you decide to take on Muhan here?”
Machungsam crept up his head. For some reason, the atmosphere seemed much softer than before.
“Yes, I’ve decided to take over. But it’s only temporary. Things can change at any time.”
“Go and tell him to come in person. Tell him to keep track of what he’s done so far, what he’s doing, and what he’s going to do.”
Machungsam pounded his forehead on the floor.
“Sir!”
When Byeoktaesan saw the scene, he smiled again and again.
I haven’t seen this in a long time.
* * *
When Byeoktaesan came out, Yoo Seo-yeon and Hwa-ok stood in the middle of the hallway.
Then, at the end of the hallway, Cheon Kyung-wan just appeared from the place leading up to the stairs.
Behind Byeoktaesan, Machungsam followed in a polite manner as if he was a servant.
Byeoktaesan strolled toward the party.
“Let’s go.”
Yoo Seo-yeon and Hwa-ok quickly followed Byeoktaesan, and Cheon Kyung-wan, who came up to the second floor, waited and joined quietly after Byeoktaesan passed by.
As he went down to the first floor, he saw men scattered here and there.
Apparently, there were one or two broken places, but no one died.
Byeoktaesan stood under the stairs and looked over the fallen.
“You must have taught them something.”
At the words of Byeoktaesan, Machungsam quickly approached the side and bowed his head.
“Yes, I taught Samhwangigong.”
It was said to be Samhwangigong, but it was actually a Samhwanmagong.
It was the best to improve one’s skills with attributes.
However, the limits were too low, and the initial training was so painful that it was also a rare martial art within Cheonmashingyo.
If he wanted to supply a certain level of warriors, he found the right answer.
You can raise a warrior who is moderately strong and has considerable rage.
Apparently, I’ve barely taken my step.
Therefore, even though this many people attacked one of the people, it was not possible to touch the collar once.
“Well, take care of it.”
Byeoktaesan left the guest’s room.
Machungsam did not move his back deeply until he could not see Byeoktaesan.
As Byeoktaesan disappeared from view, Machungsam entered the guest’s room again.
The people on the floor wiggled little by little, wondering if they had come to their senses.
And they tried to force themself up.
Machungsam murmured at them.
“First of all, I’m going to make these guys useful. If you don’t want to be ashamed of the Lord.”
The men’s faces turned white when they heard it.
They looked mournfully at Machungsam with eyes mixed with fear and sorrow.
Of course, such things didn’t change the way he looked.
“Be prepared. I’m sure there’ll be another chance.”
That means they have to fight that monster again next time.
Everyone was in despair.
* * *
The next destination of Byeoktaesan was Seomundeok.
In fact, if he waits at home, he will come back anyway, but since he’s out, he decided to meet Seo Moon-deok and go back.
The place where Seomundeok stayed was a large guest room close to the place where the market for the Muhan branch of Homuryeon would be built.
On the way to the guest’s room, Hwaok was close to Byeoktaesan.
“Sir, may I ask what happened to them earlier?”
Byeoktaesan thought for a while.
Indeed, it is time to decide what to do from now on.
The mission of the Donghopyoguk is to secretly help Cheonmashingyo by taking root in the region.
If you run a country and secure information, spread rumors, and if you have to deal with someone, you can secretly deal with it.
The key is not to be caught. So you have to refrain from anything that stands out.
But he’s already done it.
The beginning was a mess, but there would have been no problem if it had ended there.
Jongri Sega is now destroyed.
But these guys didn’t finish there and grew their work.
It would never have been like that.
However, Cheonmashingyo is currently activated by Hyun Cheon-jin.
Then came Byeoktaesan.
Byeoktaesan recalled his memory of visiting Dongho pyoguk.
‘Was the sovereign an ambitious figure?’
How do you know what’s going on inside people? At that time, Byeoktaesan was not a man to grow things this big.
The mouth of Byeoktaesan crept up.
“Maybe… I think I found the answer.”
“What? What do you mean…….”
“No, just a little faster. I think I’ll have another business to do.”
“Yes, sir.”
Hwa-ok had something more to ask, but the atmosphere was unusual.
Soon, he arrived at the guest’s room where Seo Moon-deok was staying.
In fact, Seo Moon-deok visited Byeoktaesan to share greetings. To maintain a good relationship in the future.
So, Byeoktaesan didn’t have to talk to Seomundeok for a long time.
It was all about greeting and sharing a few words.
In the meantime, there was talk about the medicine obtained from the fortress near Uichang this time.
Seo Moon-deok carefully asked if he could share the medicine, but Byeoktaesan refused on the pretext of breaking his promise with Chunchushin.
Seo Moon-deok also said that he did not intend to demand more actively.
After finishing the schedule roughly like that, two doctors rushed out of the guest’s room.
“Sir! You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you so long!”
The members of the Cheon Yak-bang were closely attached.
It was because they wanted to get the medicine somehow.
They’ve already reported to the pharmacy. They couldn’t help doing it. They told Seo Moon-duk that they would ask him for help.
So They were watching the meeting between Seo Mun-deok and Byeoktaesan secretly.
However, Seo Moon-deok was so frustrated in the eyes of the two.
Why would they ask for a favor if they were going to do that?
Using the power of Homuryeon, you can draw a good atmosphere with just a little pressure, but he couldn’t understand why he didn’t do it.
That’s why he came out like this way.
“Sir, please consider the cause! We’ll find out for sure about the medicine! For the best of the world….”
Byeoktaesan raised his hand to cover the doctors’ mouths.
“It’s over.”
“What?”
“This means that analysis and countermeasures are complete.”
“What, what nonsense……!”
“That’s impossible!”
The eyes of Byeoktaesan became cool.
As the atmosphere subsided, doctors closed their mouths and turned white to look around.
“Now… am I lying?”
“Oh, no… I mean……!”
Byeoktaesan turned around and said,
“I understood the meaning of Cheon Yak-bang very well.”
Doctors were embarrassed and tried to catch Byeoktaesan, but Byeoktaesan was already not there.
Seo Moon-deok’s eyes, who was watching the whole scene, grew bigger.
He missed the movement of Byeoktaesan momentarily.
He’s heard a few things from the Homuryeon side.
He said that Byeoktaesan may be a master more than he thought. But He didn’t know it would be this much.
Seo Moon-deok thought it would be necessary to find out about Byeoktaesan once again.
In his eyes, two doctors collapsed on the floor with a devastated look on their faces.
Seo Moon-deok went inside.
