Episode 590
One who sinks into darkness (1)
“…?!”
Tang Hao’s face hardened.
I was so surprised that I even jumped up from my seat without realizing it. It was force majeure.
‘What is this energy wave?’
It’s tremendous power.
For an instant, a goosebump-inducing energy wave rose like fire in the direction of the outer garden where the attacker had appeared.
It flashed for a split second and then disappeared, but the force I felt in that moment was enough to make my stomach tingle. Tang Hao had never felt such a strong and devastating energy wave in his life.
“What on earth happened…?”
At that time, the door to the office opened and Dang Yeo-seon rushed in.
“father!”
Tang Hao frowned.
“The position is vacant, Yeo Seon.”
Tang Yeo-seon lowered her head with a regretful expression.
“I’m sorry, matriarch. “Did you feel it too, matriarch?”
“Yes, I felt it.”
I’m sure Dangho wasn’t the only one who felt it. It was an overwhelming energy wave that was felt by anyone who was a peak expert, or even someone who had practiced the Naegongsim method for even a few years.
“This is the direction the attackers entered! Something is definitely going on there!”
Who doesn’t know that!
Danho almost shouted like that without even realizing it. Even though it was only for a moment, I hated seeing my son saying something so obvious.
Tang Hao spoke in a calm tone.
“Dispatch the black wind corps and the green attire.”
“Oh, I understand!”
The Black Wind and Green Guards were elite units under the Tang Dynasty’s inner circle.
If it was Naewon’s elite unit, it could be said to be the party’s most elite unit. It is a unit that can be said to be on the same level as the Red Gal Dan and the Hoseongjo sent to the party.
They were the ones who received permission to read part of the Five Great Dramas and part of the Ten Memorizations, which was the final vision of the Tang Dynasty. Not only was each individual’s military power top-notch, but the grip and memorization of the weapon and memorization were also top-notch.
The ruling party leader left the office again.
Tang Hao’s face distorted.
“What is happening?”
He looked out the window.
“Who on earth did you call?!”
A leader must not move carelessly. If the leader’s hips are light, the organization also becomes light.
However, when it was necessary to step forward, there had to be distribution regardless. Knowing when and when was the basic virtue of a leader.
Unfortunately, Tang Ho didn’t have anything like that.
Even if he did not come forward in person, he should have sent a supreme expert rather than a combat unit. This was because a small number of elites were much better than large organizations for reconnaissance and resolution.
It was the limit of the party name. For him, who had seen, heard, and experienced things being done by other people’s hands for over a dozen years, this was rather a natural principle of action.
Tang Hao, who was lost in thought, called his warriors.
“Call Presbyterian Wonju right now.”
“I follow your orders.”
After a while, an old man came into the office.
The elders, including Dang-muk, were in their fifties and sixties, but this old man was different. He looked to be around seventy, and his eyelids were droopy, making his eyes difficult to read.
Looking at his age, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a figure from the past.
No, actually, he was a squadron expert. This was because Presbyterian Wonju, appointed by the party, was currently imprisoned in prison.
“You called me, ma’am.”
There was no perfect engineering school.
This was something that would have been unthinkable if it had been the existing party. It was the culture of the Tang clan that the moment one became the head of the family, even the previous head of the family treated the head of the family with respect in public.
Tang Hao spoke quickly.
“Did Wonju feel it too?”
“I felt it. Who hasn’t felt it? “It was only for a moment, but the impact was truly incredible.”
“It is highly likely that this is the expert we brought with us.”
A bloody aura flashed in the old eyes of Presbyterian Wonju Danghyangmun.
“The hotel….”
“That’s right.”
“I heard that you sent the elders under your command.”
Tang Hao frowned.
“I came back alive only as the president. “He said he needed to see him in person.”
“I guess I curled my tail.”
“He is someone whose ability cannot be denied. However, the Three Elders and the Five Elders would not have been defeated so easily, so the party hall would not be in a normal state by now.”
Tang Hyangmun shook his head.
“That’s not very likely.”
“What do you think?”
“Although he has a temperament that is unsuitable for ruling over someone, he can be said to be the best among the current members of the party in terms of ability.”
“I admit that too. But its limitations are also clear. “Three elders went and even sent Hoseongjo, so how could they be okay?…”
“Didn’t the chief elder say that he thought we should go together?”
“….”
“If the officer had been injured, that sneaky b*stard wouldn’t have said that. “I guess they said we should concentrate all our forces on the attack.”
Even low-quality ginger is definitely spicy because it is old. Danghyangmun was looking deeper and wider than Dangho.
“Also, the head of the family must not forget. “The fact that it was the Dark King who taught that guy.”
“…!”
“It may be said that we have a bad relationship now, but the ability of Donggwan, who passed all kinds of tests and ascended to the position of family leader, not only because he received the teachings of the King of Darkness, is one of the best in the history of the family.”
A slight look of displeasure appeared on Tang Hao’s face.
Although I recognized his ability, I couldn’t help but feel bad when the praise for the party came out. To him, Tang Gwan was just an arrogant being who could easily catch up with him with just a little effort.
“Then what do you mean?”
There was an irritation that couldn’t be hidden in Tang Ho’s voice.
Danghyangmun said.
“If you want to organize things quickly, it would be better to use ‘that item.’”
“…!”
Tang Hao’s face hardened.
“If we dispatch experts for no reason just to capture our officer alive, the damage will only increase. Furthermore, doesn’t the fact that we sent the president back mean that our government also knows everything about the current situation?”
“…Hmm.”
“If you react hastily, you could end up in disgrace. In that case, it would be better to use ‘that thing’ and just kill it.”
Tang Ho knew. How much Tang Hyangmun hates Tang Guan.
But now his words were far from hateful. Although he had developed powerful martial skills, he also did not have much time left to enjoy a wonderful retirement. Maybe twenty or thirty years at most.
They believe that it is better to take bold measures for one’s own future, not because one hates the other person.
Tang Hao thought that Tang Hyangmun’s will was not bad.
“for now.”
Tang Hao shook his head.
“I think we need to do something about the intruder before moving to our hotel.”
“Of course he is too.”
“If Lord Won does not come forward personally, please order the elders under him to catch the intruder.”
Danghyangmun’s eyelids twitched.
Dangho continued.
“The troops have already been sent. “But I can’t feel relieved.”
“Hmm.”
Tang Hyangmun, who was quietly looking at Tang Hao, nodded.
“Okay. “This intruder case will be handled by the Presbyterian Church.”
“All right.”
“And go.”
“Please speak.”
“It is said that a person must know the time. “I don’t know how persuasive the old man’s advice may be, but I think it’s best to use ‘that thing’ to kill the official.”
“understand.”
He understood it, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of using it.
Danghyangmun was frustrated with such a name.
But his disposition was not bad. Tang Hao took over Gajuwi in one fell swoop, but it was not entirely through his ability.
Dangho was more indecisive than expected and liked being pushed around. If you have this temperament, you will be able to control it well until you live a wonderful old age.
“I understand. “If you do that, the old man will just leave.”
“Go ahead.”
Just like that, Tang Hyang-mun left the office.
bang!
The table that Tang Ho hit broke in half.
“How dare you…”
Dangho’s face was stained with madness as he chewed his lips.
“After treating the old man who was waiting for his death in prison, he dares to play on the head of the family.”
They say there’s nothing you can do about it right now, but isn’t he really a terrible old man?
Tang Hao realized it again. The fact is that new alcohol must be put in new wineskins. Right now, I am reaching out to secure real power, but I realize that there will be more people who will have to be sent to the grave when the time comes.
‘But what the old man said wasn’t wrong.’
Tang Ho touched his lips.
‘Only if you use that item can you be guaranteed a generous victory, not only for the party official, but even if the opponent is your father. The problem is that there are too many eyes.’
‘That thing’ was a weapon of destruction that only a person in power could operate.
Tang Hao informed several people about the existence of the weapon. This is because he knew very well that he could not completely take control of the Tang family with his own strength alone.
Still, you have to be the one to decide whether to use it or not. Even if everyone gathers their wisdom, it can never be used unless the decision maker gives permission.
‘What do we do.’
Tang Hao bit his lip again.
‘As time goes on, this is the one that suffers losses.’
The Tang family’s elite troops are stationed near Noksuzuru. No matter how much one is not interested in the civil war within the Tang family, when things get to this point, the people of the Party cannot help but become anxious.
No, it was a good thing if it ended up leaving me feeling anxious. If, by chance, the party official announces this fact and begins to attack his own legitimacy, then things become very complicated.
‘What should I do? What do we do?’
How long had it been like that?
“Matriarch!”
An urgent voice came from outside the office.
Tang-ho, startled, shouted in a cracked voice.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re in big trouble! The Hoseongjo and Red Gals dispatched to Noksuzuru have been destroyed!”
“…!!”
The time for decision has come.
* * *
Slurp.
An old man sitting on a rock meditating slowly opened his eyes.
“It’s messy.”
Gipa and living that feel like they belong to those who are not Danga people.
Not only the venom and memorization that hurriedly spews out, but even the tearing voices of those who move around busily.
The old man’s eyes deepened.
“It’s really noisy. “Has there ever been such a commotion at home before?”
He was neither a monk nor a Taoist. Of course, he had no magical powers and could not sit down and look a thousand miles ahead.
But he could feel it.
He was evaluated as the most dangerous warrior on this endless continent, and his senses reached all areas of the party.
So he could know. That someone is coming here.
A genius warrior who is just around the corner from a young and lively stage of martial arts and an experienced master who has grown under strict discipline are coming.
The old man thought for a moment. Should we block the infiltration of the two or should we let them?
‘…It’s useless.’
He is a forgotten person in the family anyway. No matter who comes, if you don’t like it, just send it back and that’s it.
The old man closed his eyes again.
How much time has passed like that?
“It’s quiet.”
Cheer ring.
The sound of chains crashing sounded very pure.
“There is no chaos in the world outside the cave, but it is quiet here. “It seems like a very nice place to live in peace because it’s so quiet.”
The old man opened his eyes and turned his head.
There were two men there.
“Who are you?”
Young Yeon Ho-jeong took the gun.
“Yeon Ho-jeong, leader of the Murim League’s remnant military unit, meets the former head of the Tang family.”
