00481 Operation name: Clown Play. ————————————————– ———————-=
“Whoa.”
Park Hwan-hee took a deep breath and counted the numbers one by one in his mind. She did, and she grabbed the doorknob. Two, I pushed the door open. Three, she took a step inside. Then her eyes caught sight of a dark conference room and a round table with eight people sitting in a circle. At the same time, everyone in her room turned to look at Park Hwan-hee. Most of them immediately turned their heads towards her as if they were indifferent, but some of them slightly frowned at her.
Park Hwan-hee quickly lowered his head and apologized in a polite voice.
“I was late because something came up. sorry.”
And then he walked quickly with his head down. The place where Park Hwan-hee stopped her steps was right next to Park Tae-jin.
“Hwanhee. What’s going on? You always arrived early, but today you were late… .”
“I am truly sorry. older brother.”
Park Tae-jin, who glanced sideways, whispered in a worried voice, but Park Hwan-hee did not say anything and just lowered his head even further. In the end, Park Tae-jin, who only shrugged her shoulders, turned her gaze to the front and spoke.
“sorry. It seems like there really was a situation. “I ask for your understanding just this once.”
“no it’s okay. If there are circumstances, it may be late. Anyway, can we continue talking?”
A mysterious energy appeared on Park Tae-jin’s face. And she nodded her head quietly, half laughing, half shaking. Shin Hyuk then cleared his throat a few times, made eye contact with Park Hwan Hee, and continued speaking.
“So this is what I’m saying. This is why it has come to this. First of all, let’s stop pretending to be a mercenary. Rather, I think building a good relationship is one way now. Oh, I know. Just how ridiculous it sounds that I’m saying this right now. But let’s look at reality, reality. In a situation like this, there is no solution, right? Did you know that Mercenary would return from the mountains where the dragon sleeps? . Anyway, it’s okay to say it’s the next best option, but for now, you have to do your best given the reality. Either way, I think I’ve done enough.”
“is it so. Hyuk really did his best. Even in that situation, he worked with the Mercantile to improve the Federation’s image, and eventually obtained Halo. Of course, there were some pains in the process… . “I would like to applaud Hyuk’s efforts to achieve the best results.”
After Shinhyuk finished his lengthy explanation, Woo Seolhee, who was sitting next to him, quickly joined in.
And after a while, the air in the conference room calmed down. The surroundings became quiet, and a damp air slowly seeped into the table. Seo Ji-hwan turned his head for a moment and savored his appetite once or twice. Then he let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth.
“good. Then, I heard Hyuk’s position… . Taejin, don’t you have anything else to say?”
Anyway, this meeting was focused on Taejin Park and Hyuk Shin. The other people also implicitly agreed that one of the two would be selected. As such, it gives Park Tae-jin an opportunity to appeal himself before the final vote.
“no. I am okay. “I don’t have anything else to say, so just vote like this.”
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Park Tae-jin turned down the opportunity.
Almost everyone, including Seo Ji-hwan, widened their eyes. Shinhyuk, perhaps not expecting this, blinked rapidly three or four times. But he soon smiled. I don’t know what kind of plan he has, but his remarks could be interpreted as giving up on Halo. Also, just looking at the situation that had unfolded so far, he had the advantage.
“… Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“yes. It doesn’t matter. After all, the union is one family. “No matter what the outcome is, I will submit to it cleanly.”
When Seo Ji-hwan checked again, Park Tae-jin nodded and shook his head. And she smiled at Shinhyuk. Shinhyuk also responded by raising the corner of his mouth.
“Uhm. then… .”
Seo Ji-hwan looked at Park Tae-jin and Shin Hyeok alternately. The moment the two men nodded their heads at the same time, Seo Ji-hwan finally got to the point.
“As announced in advance, there are no abstentions in this vote. You must unconditionally choose one person. You know, right? Well, I think everyone knows this, so let’s start voting… .”
Just as he was about to announce the start of voting, Seo Ji-hwan was interrupted by a noise coming from outside.
and.
bang!
The conference room door, which had been tightly shut, opened wide, as if someone had kicked the door hard from the outside. If I had opened the door quietly like before, I wouldn’t have known. When an unpleasant noise rang out in a conference room filled with silence and solemnity, everyone’s faces scrunched up. In particular, Shinhyuk stood up and shouted in an irritated tone.
“who is this! “What kind of crazy person are you?”
It was then.
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap.
“What a crazy guy. Isn’t that a bit harsh? Nambeol Road.”
A cold voice came out at the same time as the sound of numerous footsteps. Then, a group of people entered the conference room and finally stopped. The eyes of the people at the table and the people who opened the door met in the air.
Shinhyuk looked at the entrance with a puzzled look on his face, then stuttered after checking the person standing in front.
“You, you…” . Cho Seong-ho?”
“I would like you to call me Goryeo Road. We’re not so close that we even call each other by our first names. Isn’t it? Nambeol Road? “No, Koranic Union?”
Goryeo Lord Jo Seong-ho, the representative clan of the eastern city of Prinsica, sneered and glanced at the crowd. It was an obvious ridicule. Nevertheless, the people in the conference room did not think to respond right away. All I can do is give a blank look, wondering how this happened.
It was like that. The group that invaded the conference room just now were users belonging to the central management organization. These are not just ordinary users, but big users who are in charge of clans such as Goryeo, the loser of the eastern part, Rivers, Han, Hamil, etc. In other words, they were users who did not bow down at all compared to the Koran Union, but rather had a stronger influence.
However, even the Koran Coalition did not remain silent. The first to come to his senses was Park Tae-jin, the leader of the union. He immediately recovered his complexion, smiled at me with a calm face, and opened his mouth softly. Of course, as their relationship with each other was very bad, the voice coming out was nothing short of bloody.
“Someone said this… . It’s not the central management organization that is responsible for the construction. No, by the way, what do people who are so busy go to such a remote place?”
“That’s right. I’m already so busy, but some crazy bastard has forced me to come to this remote place. huh? So, you should have managed it properly.”
When Cho Seong-ho answered, Park Tae-jin’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
“Crazy bastard? Huh, are you saying you want to leave now?”
“First of all, it’s funny that people who just left say this. “The world is so interesting.”
“… I don’t know why the party is doing this, but before criticizing other officials, why don’t you look back on yourself? Do you really think this is polite behavior? Goryeo Road is not even the name of someone’s dog… . Oh, did you not learn because you ate the clan lord raw? ha ha ha.”
“You think so? Still, I think I’m better than anyone else. “Rather than the ungrateful bastards who preyed on the people who raised and guided them.”
Park Tae-jin cited the death of Goryeo Lord of the Jeondae during the war, and Jo Seong-ho sarcastically cited the disappearance of Kim Yong-man, who was the head of the Jeondae Union. They exchanged words without losing an inch, but in the end, it was the Koran Alliance that made up their minds first. Bringing up Kim Yong-man’s work is no different than touching the backbone of the union.
“These… . Let’s see, let’s see… .”
As expected, Baek Du-san, who was impatient, opened his eyes and stood up in anger.
No, it was a moment when I was trying to wake up.
“Whoa, calm down.”
For an instant, an intense force pressed down on his shoulders, and Baekdu-san had no choice but to put his hips back, which had been separated just a little. I reflexively looked back at his left shoulder and saw a man smiling roundly with his thick hand on his head. After seeing his face, Baekdusan let out a phlegm-filled drool.
“Ki, Kim Deok-pil… .”
“Oh hey. Long time no see, friend. But don’t make any motions. Then you get hurt.”
Baekdu Mountain seemed to be trying its best to rise somehow. But each time, a stronger force pressed down on him, causing him to grit his teeth and hang his shoulders.
For a moment, there was silence. However, it was not a quiet silence, but a silence like an impending explosion that could explode at any moment.
Finally, the moment Cho Seong-ho took a step forward, Seo Ji-hwan, who had been silent until now, opened his mouth.
“Koryo Road. As Taejin said, I don’t know why this is happening, but this is not your living room. “If there is not enough cause to explain such behavior, it will be difficult to overlook the current rudeness with just a series of apologies.”
“Let me tell you that. From now on, we will announce the position of the central management organization.”
The user who responded to Seo Ji-hwan’s warning was Lord Seong Hyun-min. At first glance, he had a polite demeanor and a good-natured appearance, but there was a coldness that could not be hidden in the corner of his eyes.
“It seems uncomfortable for both of us to watch for a long time, so I’ll just end it. User Shinhyuk. An accusation has been received regarding the Mercenary Clan’s attack on the Mountain Where the Dragon Sleeps. So, I need you to come with me for a while and be investigated.”
“W-What?!”
“I don’t think you heard. If you just go along obediently, unnecessary situations will not arise. “Let’s not be pathetic.”
“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous! Mountains where dragons sleep? accusation? “What kind of ghost is suddenly disappearing?!”
Although he was shouting vigorously, it was only a reflexive statement. Before he knew it, Shinhyuk’s face had gone from white to pale. Then, he suddenly made eye contact with Song Hee-seon, swallowed his saliva, and steadied her words.
“Yeah, yeah. I have no idea what you’re talking about? Do you have any proof? “Do you have any proof?”
“evidence? then. Yes. So why would we do this without any evidence?”
Cho Seong-ho, who was still sarcastic in his voice, calmly reached into his arms, took out a bead, and threw it. Soon the marble, which rolled around and stopped exactly in the center of the table, began to play a video, emitting bright light. It was a crystal ball for recording.
(Yes! I did it. That’s what I did….)
Eventually, when all playback was over, the faces of the allied users were worth seeing. Among them, Shinhyuk’s face was especially spectacular. Aside from the somewhat desperate look on his face, his eyes were so wide as to be torn from shock.
“I think everyone knows anyway, so I won’t say anything more. Hey, get that guy out.”
Cho Seong-ho nodded and pointed at Shinhyuk, who was standing blankly. Then, Shinhyuk suddenly came to his senses and shouted as if he was struggling as he saw the users slowly approaching him.
“This, this is fabricated! okay! “It was rigged!”
“Operation? That’s lame. “Anyway, everything will come out when we investigate, so just follow along.”
“Shut up! Don’t be damned! Do you think I will follow? “Where did you get this fabricated evidence from?”
“hmm? Everyone be careful!”
At that time, Cho Seong-ho, with sharp eyes, shouted. For a moment, as Shinhyuk shouted, a terrifying magical power arose throughout his body.
As he is a lord of a clan, and as his class is a wizard. If you decide to use magical power, casualties may occur. Cho Seong-ho, who thought so, decided to attack him personally.
And, it was that moment.
Ta-da! Ta-da!
Suddenly, a ray of golden electricity flew from the very back of the entrance and struck Shinhyuk. Although it was thick, it was so powerful that Shinhyuk, who had been hit before he could react, was pushed back and hit the wall hard.
Boom!
“Gyeong!”
A single-word scream erupted with a loud noise. Shinhyuk barely managed to stop himself from falling even as electric discharges occurred throughout his body. And the users of the union, everyone, jumped to their feet.
However, he soon flinched as he saw the user slowly walking out next to Cho Seong-ho. The golden magic that covered his right hand and the deadly force that flowed from his entire body seemed to engulf the conference room.
It was the appearance of Kim Yu-hyeon, the Thunder Emperor.
“Hey, Kim Yu-hyeon! What is this! No matter what!”
Woo Seol-hee shouted angrily, but Kim Yu-hyeon’s face was expressionless, as if she wasn’t even paying attention. Then he walked over to Shinhyuk, who was staggering, and lifted his collar. Shinhyuk, who had not yet come to his senses, floated helplessly into the air.
After a while, Kim Yu-hyeon’s lips opened.
“Is it you?”
“Cruk, croak… .”
“Don’t make me say it three times. “Are you the one who touched my little brother?”
“Do it, Lord Hamill! “Stop it!”
Jo Seong-ho, who was a decent person, probably didn’t expect this kind of situation, so he urgently stopped Kim Yu-hyeon. Kim Yu-hyeon looked back at Jo Seong-ho. Then he looked at Shinhyuk again and turned around with a snort. Of course, he was still grabbed by the collar, and Shinhyuk was dragged out without being able to walk properly. Jo Seong-ho whispered to Seong Hyeon-min as he watched Kim Yoo-hyun slowly disappearing outside the entrance.
“I might kill you if you do that. “Hurry after me.”
“Ah, didn’t I tell you not to bring me?”
Seong Hyeon-min, who let out a sigh for a moment, smiled bitterly and chased after Kim Yu-hyeon. Jo Seong-ho shook his head excitedly. However, he soon put a smile on his face and spoke to the frozen allied users.
“Please be generous and forgive me for any minor mishaps. In the first place, Nambeol Lord rebelled, and Hamill Lord loved his younger brother so much. ha ha ha.”
“I beg your pardon? A little accident? Are you kidding me? “Isn’t that really too much?”
bang!
Woo Seol-hee hit the table hard. In fact, it was not a situation to proceed carelessly now that there was irrefutable evidence. But he couldn’t help it. If Shin-hyuk’s crime is confirmed, Woo Seol-hee will not be safe either. As I knew very well what the physiology of this bottom was like, I was in a situation where I had to deny it no matter how hard I tried.
“This is tyranny!”
“Tyranny? “Do you still say that after watching that video?”
“saw. But I haven’t admitted it yet. And best of all, we don’t remember saying anything that was said in the video? Also, there is no evidence that this crystal ball was not manipulated like Hyuk said!”
“aha. Are you going to deny it until the end?”
Jo Seong-ho clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry for him, but Woo Seol-hee kept his attitude and screamed.
“Because I have nothing to admit!”
“Yes, yes. All right. I fully understand what you mean. So don’t worry too much. “There are ways to clearly detect whether or not something has been manipulated.”
Woo Seol-hee stared at Jo Seong-ho with an anxious face. The words ‘How?’ were rising to the top of her throat, but seeing her confident face made her unable to get them out. Cho Seong-ho must have sensed this and continued speaking calmly.
“The people here… . So, you probably know about the vagrant hunting incident two years ago. “I mean the incident related to Baek Seo-yeon.”
It took exactly 3 seconds for Union users to understand this. And after three seconds, everyone’s pupils began to grow as big as a flower lantern.
“In fact, this crystal sphere has already been carefully examined by the central management body, and no evidence of manipulation has been found. Nevertheless, if there is someone who is being unreasonable… . “We intend to grant the Mercenary Clan the right to interrogate them.”
Cheolpudeok!
Woo Seol-hee slumped down in her seat, her face turning earthy. Seeing that, Jo Seong-ho smiled.
“The Mercenary Lord said so. The Mercenary Clan is ready at any time, so just hand over Shinhyuk. On the contrary, I would like it to be so.”
In a word, it was a kind of warning to just stay quiet if you don’t want to be robbed to the core.
Soon, Jo Seong-ho looked around, bowed his head politely, but spoke in a sarcastic voice.
“There were many examples. There was a bit of an accident, but I achieved what I wanted, so I’ll call it a day. “Then, please continue your meeting.”
And just before leaving the conference room, he turned his head halfway and continued speaking.
“The central management body has high expectations regarding the course and outcome of this incident. As such, the coalition members can also look forward to it. ha ha ha.”
The door closed quietly, without making the slightest noise, unlike when it was opened.
The users who invaded left and there was silence in the conference room.
However, Cho Seong-ho’s last laugh did not disappear, remaining like a lingering sound.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
A memorial service will be held at midnight today. ha ha ha. Today, my father came home late at night from a business trip, so I took care of various preparations with his older brother. It was only today that I understood how hard he worked each time he prepared. -_-a I reflect on how I always used to only put up folding screens, tables, and polish ware.
Probably by the time this article is posted, I will have hurried back to the living room and bowed. Or maybe they are performing a first marriage ceremony. I think it will take about 1 to 2 hours, so I think you can check the comments after that.
Have a nice day everyone! 😀
fantasy,
