Episode 437
A coincidence that changes the situation (5)
When Mukbi leaves, only three people remain.
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Mo Yong-woo.
“I’ll let you know if I need to deliver something separately. “Brother, please comfort Tangma-kun and Mortal Death-kun.”
Mo Yong-woo asked curiously.
“The Mortal Islands?”
“why? “He’s the second-in-command of Uijeong-gun, so isn’t that a given?”
“Uh… Well, that’s true.”
I was embarrassed to be called second-in-command for no reason, and I also felt sorry for Mukbi.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“Regardless of how the Tangma army views me, the two units have not yet truly become one. Of course, it’s not something that can be solved by our efforts, but we should at least set the stage.”
“Well, Yeonje is right.”
“The two units have very different personalities, but there are times when they have to operate together depending on the situation. “Now that one mission is over, I think we should get to know each other’s strengths.”
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“I was worried about that part too. However, I tried to push it forward while the Mortal Army’s military was there.”
“Sometimes it’s good to face situations where you don’t know anything. “It seems like time is running out, so why not try making it cool at a time like this?”
“I understand. “Let’s do that.”
Mo Yong-woo stood up.
“If nothing special happens today, let’s have a drink later. “How is it?”
“If nothing special happens.”
Mo Yong-woo chuckled.
“I’m speaking as an older brother, but Yeon-je needs to know how to take a break. “No one can deny that Yeon-je is a genius who is rarely seen again, but if you look around, there are many talented people.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“So you’re giving your brother the authority over Tangma Destruction, right?”
“People really.”
Just like that, Mo Yong-woo left the room.
Yeon Hao-jeong looked at Sima Hyeon.
Sima Hyeon also looked at Yeon Hao-jeong and asked a question.
“What’s going on?”
“what?”
“Why do you have anything to say to me after forcing everyone out?”
“I didn’t force it.”
“Whatever it is, you have something to tell me.”
“There are a lot. “The situation just didn’t suit us.”
“That’s good because I also want to ask you something.”
“okay? “Then ask first.”
Sima Xuan’s eyes darkened.
“Why did you call me here?”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed slightly.
“I thought you would ask a big question.”
“There is no question more important to me than that.”
“is it.”
“exactly.”
“Then let me answer simply. “Come join us.”
“I refuse.”
It was a sharp rejection of a calm proposal.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“Why?”
“Are you kidding me? “I am an assassin.”
“I know, man.”
“Hong Guan, no, I said it was unreasonable. He killed my parents, erased my memories, and raised me to be an assassin. “The years I lived like that were longer than the years I lived normally.”
“I know that too.”
“Good thing you know. I became an assassin. “The knowledge I have seen and learned will never fall away in my life.”
It’s a situation that you can’t shake off even if you want to.
Yeon Hao-jeong understood Sima Hyeon’s words. The enemy raised him to be an assassin. He somehow killed his enemy, but now all he had left was his skills and life as an assassin.
Words like, “Get rid of that and live a different life,” don’t have any effect on me. Sima Xuan’s body and soul were already specialized for that of an assassin.
At least Sima Xuan thought so.
Although it wasn’t Yeonhojeong.
“So do you plan to continue living as an assassin? Do you want to become a new eumsin and continue the reputation of the legendary eumsin of the past?”
“….”
“It looks like you haven’t decided yet.”
“exactly.”
At least Sima Xuan knew how to be honest. That was the reason why Yeon Hao-jeong highly regarded Sima Hyeon.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t join us. “It’s unfortunate that I’m the one making the suggestion, but if it’s your choice, I can’t force it.”
“….”
“Like I said, I wanted to recruit you. That’s why I asked you to come here. However, construction work was busy in the meantime, so I’ve been holding you back until now.”
“It’s rude to invite someone over.”
“But what did you do during that time?”
“…?”
“It’s been over ten days and you haven’t even decided what to do next?”
Sima Xuan’s eyes deepened.
“I don’t know if you have this kind of experience, but I don’t think it’s a matter so light that it can be decided in just ten days.”
“Only ten days? Don’t be funny. “It only took three days for Director Mook to escape the death penalty that was like his family, and although he may not have decided on the purpose of his life, it took less than a day for him to decide to take a step forward.”
“…!”
“It’s good to think deeply, but there’s no need to think too much. If you don’t come up with an answer even after thinking about it, you have no choice but to take a walk, right? “Isn’t that life?”
“….”
“If you live because you were born and have no reason to live or die, then that too is your freedom. But if you want to survive like that, at least don’t become an assassin.”
“Why is that?”
“The moment you kill people for money, you have a reason to die.”
“…!!”
“I will kill you without hesitation. If you want to die, do it.”
Sima Xuan’s eyes were slightly bloodshot.
“Are you threatening me?”
“Did it sound like a joke?”
“That’s funny. “Not leaving a single blade of grass in enemy territory in the name of the greater good is no different from the Baekdo political faction.”
“You spoke well. At least we have a cause. What makes you so confident that you kill people for money? “What kind of person are you who kills people to continue your meager life without even a deep justification?”
Sima Xuan’s cheeks trembled.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s words denied the very existence of the assassin.
“If you want to make a living, don’t kill people, do farming. Do ordinary work, whether it’s running a business or working under a merchant. “That alone is no problem in making a living.”
“….”
“why? Do you regret not being able to use the assassination skills you learned? Or do they seem easy?”
“Don’t say it so easily.”
“I don’t think you will understand if I say it in a complicated way, so I’m telling you in an easy way, you idiot.”
“….”
“This is just advice, and I’ll give you a few more words. Forced by the enemy to live a life as an assassin? Get out. “If you live your life using the skills of the assassin who killed your parents and siblings against strangers whose names you do not know, you will not be able to escape the shadow of the evil enemy even if you wake up from death.”
“…!”
“On the other hand, if you think that this is just one of the countless lessons you will gain in the future, then don’t even think about taking the life of someone who has nothing to do with you, even if it may not benefit the world.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were filled with solemn energy.
“Power is responsibility. And that power comes from civil and martial arts on a small scale, and on a large scale from organizations and society. Therefore, no one in society can be free from the responsibility that comes with power.”
“….”
“If you want to use an assassination technique, use it for the world. If you want to seal the assassin, leave Wurim and live a normal life. “These words are the last gift I can give to you, an indecisive b*stard who hasn’t been able to decide on anything for over ten days.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up and continued speaking.
“We received quite a lot of public money from the organization. There is no problem in feeding one person. “Whether you join us, live a normal life, or go back to being an assassin, feel free to think about it here.”
“….”
“But we don’t know when we will leave. Let’s make a decision within that.”
Sima Hyeon said as if he was throwing it away.
“You are a very simple speaker.”
“We live in a world where lives are at risk every moment if we don’t make things simple. It’s the same for you and me. But…”
“….”
“Hey.”
“…?”
“Now that I think about it, isn’t this my room? Why do I have to stand up?”
“….”
“If you don’t have anything to say, just get out.”
Sima Hyeon, who was looking up at Yeon Hao-jeong, suddenly got up and left the room with a thud.
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Are you upset?”
I also thought I said it a bit excessively.
Sima Hyun was an honest guy. His achievements were outstanding for his age, and even though he was raised as an assassin, he knew how to empathize with others.
So I spoke bitterly. I had faith that I wouldn’t go astray due to this level of stimulation, so if I couldn’t decide, I should at least try to make a move.
I got frustrated while talking, so I feel like I lashed out too much.
“There are a lot of really tough guys.”
Yeon Ho-jeong buried his head in the chair.
“Is that the same for me too….”
After one hour.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who closed his eyes and was contemplating the power of Yeonga Shindan from various angles, was caught in the mood of full-sang’s popularity.
‘My hindsight has definitely increased.’
Even though I was processing so much information, my skills improved compared to a few days ago. The increased density of true energy and lighter steps proved this.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes and straightened his posture.
After a while.
“Algebra. “I’m going in.”
“Please come in.”
The door opened and full-sang came in.
“What happened?”
Full Sang’s face was quite serious and dark. Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression also naturally became serious.
“Things are getting very rough.”
“What do you mean?”
“He said he wanted to meet Daesoo Yeon.”
“….”
“I tried to explain it roughly, but he was reckless. Of course, as the information advisor for the Murim Alliance, I could have refused his request. But…”
“I don’t think I did it on purpose.”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Huge said this earlier. “The reason Yang Cheon, the Lord of the Mukryong, sent a letter to me first rather than to the main body of the Murim Alliance was a decision he made because he knew that my influence was significant.”
“exactly.”
“But other tribes of Bothaam also want to see me. “What do you think this means?”
“They know that too. “The influence of algebra.”
“Didn’t you say that Bothaam is blind to information?”
“It did.”
Full Sang frowned.
“It seems like the influence of the Inkryongbuju has entered into it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Did you send a letter to ask for a good reception because you would send someone?”
This proved that Yangcheon was deeply involved in the Botaam incident.
And Yangcheon must have guessed that Yeonhojeong would look into it as well.
‘Work is done quickly and smoothly. ‘More than before.’
I may have come to some kind of enlightenment in the process of excreting toxins from the Yin Huang Kidney.
What is important is that Yang Cheon is determined to destroy Botaam.
‘This is hard to touch.’
I can’t tell you what to do.
The Yangcheon of today is not the Yangcheon of the past. Although Botaam is a sect classified as a white school, it is so independent that it cannot be easily involved.
‘The fact that I’m going to include myself in this means that I really have the confidence to do it properly.’
Full Sang asked.
“Would you like to meet me?”
“I heard you couldn’t refuse? “We should meet then.”
“I am sorry.”
“no. Thank you for your help. “I think Hugai is finally starting to understand my way of doing things.”
“…Just in case, please leave the ax behind.”
“There won’t be any accidents.”
“Leave the liquor to the drinker.”
“If that’s the case, why did you ask me to meet you?”
“Damn, that’s ridiculous.”
Full-sang grumbled.
“I’ll set it for noon tomorrow.”
“After a while.”
“Please speak.”
After thinking for a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly spoke.
“Please keep an eye on how the Ink Dragon Club’s intelligence unit moves.”
“huh? “Why suddenly?”
“Didn’t you say there are three tribes of Botaam? If one of them is the Ink Dragon Club, this is the one, what about the remaining one?”
“…!”
“I can’t predict how it will move. That’s why I’m asking you to keep an eye on it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.
“I’m sure he won’t make any damn moves, but…I think Vice President Yang has become a politician.”
Politicians never forget what happened to them.
