Episode 236Conflict (6)
âThe practitioner has been contacted.â
Full-sangâs eyes sparkled for the first time in a while.
âIt looks like things are going very interesting, huh?â
After hearing his explanation after a while, the group couldnât help but be amazed.
Paeyul grumbled.
âThat guy must have been a nine-tailed fox in his past life.â
Zhuge Zhenyan chuckled.
âJeong must have been in trouble too, right? âI never thought Yang Cheon would collapse so suddenly.â
Tang Sang-ah said with a serious face.
âWhat on earth is going on? Yangcheon is a rare expert who is treated on the same level as my grandfather. For a master of his caliber to fall unconsciousâ¦â
âSister, Iâm curious about that too. âFor now, letâs just think about our safe return.â
âAhâ¦â
Tang Sang-ah said awkwardly.
âBecause itâs so unexpected.â
âWell, thatâs true. âIf you think about it, depending on the state of Yangcheon, the entire world could change.â
âI⦠honestly, itâs out of pure curiosityâ¦â
âPeople who change the world are always driven by trivial curiosity.â
Paeyul clicked his tongue.
âLetâs stop talking about useless things.â
âyes.â
âSo when should we move?â
Full-sang shook a document.
âI think we can move on the day the practitioner and Mr. Moyong meet. Looking at the situation, it looks like Moyong-gun will at least contact you within today.â
âIn that case, I will give it three days at the latest.â
âYou can think of it as two days later.â
âgood. And they?â
ââ¦Iâm waiting.â
âhmm.â
Full-sangâs expression suddenly became uncomfortable.
That wasnât all. Not only Tang Sang-er, but even Zhuge Zhen-yeon had a somewhat uncertain look on their faces.
âThat senior.â
âWhy are you doing that?â
âIs it really okay to leave it like this? Otherwise, what crime can these people have? In a way, they are victims.â
âI know.â
âI donât know if it would be better to risk your life to screw over Prince Moyong, but⦠to use him like thisâ¦â
At that moment, Paeyulâs eyes became sharp as if he were being cut.
âDonât insult them.â
âyes?â
âThey were not taken advantage of, but chose their own end. âNeither you nor I, who are just beggars, have the right to disparage their choices.â
ââ¦.â
âEven if it werenât for us, they wouldnât be able to survive for less than a month and would die. âIsnât that why they willingly participated in this plan?â
ââ¦.â
âThey committed countless mistakes in the past, but at least they repented of their past life at the last moment. âMay you know that it is an honor to be able to be with such people, even if just for a moment.â
Paeyul, who spoke as if scolding, stood up.
âI would think it was two days later. âYou should also rest well until then.â
âAll right.â
Just like that, Paeyul left the room.
Zhuge Zhenyan quenched his appetite.
âI think I know why Jeong brought you.â
ââ¦.â
âHonestly, I thought he was just a martial arts fanatic who likes to fight, but I was wrong.â
Tang Sang-ah nodded.
âI think he was a person who realized a lot before learning.â
âthatâs right. I guess this is why it is said that there is no knowledge before wisdom. âHe is truly someone worthy of imitation.â
Full Sang sighed.
âTo be honest, I still donât know.â
âis that so.â
âLooking at things like this, I definitely donât think Iâm going to be big.â
Zhuge Yan smiled.
âThat canât be right.â
Yeon Ho-jeong can be colder than anyone else depending on the situation. As he has fought countless battles, his wisdom in life is also outstanding.
Even with considerable experience, there are not many people who can make as sharp a sense of insight and cool-headed judgment as those two people.
But what was more difficult than that was Hugeâs good nature. Hu-gae is frustrated with himself for not being able to keep up with Yeon-ho-jeong and Pae-yul, but it is a thousand times more difficult to live with a good heart like Hu-gae in this harsh world.
âI understand why Yongdubark placed this person as his successor.â
Those who handle information inevitably stray away from convention and morality.
But Hugae didnât do that. He looked at people rather than information, and although he could make wrong decisions because he looked at people, he tried not to create unhappy people.
Zhuge Yan hoped that he would not lose that good heart in the future.
âYou guys, take a break. âIt wonât be long before I return home.â
* * *
âYouâre here.â
Yeon Ho-jeong headed straight to Baek Seo.
âI received a call from the head of the Moyong family.â
ââ¦.â
âI think we need to leave today evening to be able to arrive by the appointed time.â
White Paper silently looked at Inkryongjeon.
Yeon Ho-jeong patiently waited for his answer.
After a while, the white paper opened its mouth.
âDirector of Intelligence.â
âPlease speak.â
âYou know, I canât leave. âItâs impossible for me to be absent while the vice-lord is still unable to come to his senses.â
âI know.â
The white paper is one of the zodiac signs, but it is in a completely different position from the other signs of the zodiac.
In other words, even if he acts as deputy governor, no one in the department will be able to say anything to him. White Paper was someone who was trusted to that degree.
âI feel like canceling everything, including my promise to the head of the Moyong family. âIf the Vice Lord has fallen, what is the use of meeting with a mere head of the Sixth Generation?â
White Paperâs eyes cooled.
âSo I cannot understand the urgency of the head of the intelligence department.â
âI understand.â SÑará´h the NôᴠelFirÑ.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I understand.
Youâre not trying to convince yourself, youâre just saying that you understand.
The white paper thought that this aspect was extraordinary. The new head of the intelligence department is as tough as anyone else, but at the same time, he is a person who is able to fully recognize the other partyâs situation.
White Paper nodded.
âI am the vice-lordâs confidant. Whether the Vice Lord takes control of the world or walks alone in the wilderness, all you have to do is follow his footsteps. But not you.â
ââ¦.â
âYou are the part necessary to make the Vice Lordâs dream come true. And each part has its own use. âJust like me.â
ââ¦.â
âI will protect my father-in-law. âYou do what the Lord wants you to do.â
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
âThank you for your understanding.â
White Paper turned around.
âWhat about the congressman?â
âThe ghost doctor responded. âIt will arrive within five days at the latest.â
âItâs faster than I thought. âThank goodness.â
White Paper looked up at the ceiling.
It was difficult for even Yeonhojeong of the world to guess what he was thinking.
âI will give you the Chinese zodiac signs: In (å¯ ), Jin (è¾°), Sa (è), Shin (ç³), and Sul (æ).â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
It is said that among the zodiac signs, the tiger, dragon, snake, monkey, and dog will be added.
Itâs not just about following the five masters. If you include the organizations under their command, there are at least 300 more masters following them.
âWith that level of power, even if the Moyong family had set a trap, there would be no problem in saving their lives.â
âThatâs enough.â
White Paper turned around.
âI will not receive a separate departure order. âYou can leave whenever youâre ready.â
âI understand.â
âDirector of Intelligence.â
âPlease speak.â
âI wish you luck.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at the white paper, took out three neatly folded documents from her arms.
âTake it.â
âWhat is this?â
âDetailed information about the traitor at headquarters.â
ââ¦?!â
In an instant, Baekseoâs face became as hard as stone.
âDid you just say I was a traitor?â
âexactly.â
ââ¦who the hell are you?â
Yeon Ho-jeong put his index finger to his lips.
âYou will find out more when you see this. âI didnât want to add unnecessary confusion to the already messy situation after the Vice Lord said so, so I put it off until now.â
ââ¦!â
âI called you to my residence and interrogated you, and you revealed your true colors. âInevitably, a fight broke out, and we managed to subdue it.â
There was surprise in White Paperâs eyes.
âYou said it was suppressed?â
âexactly.â
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his voice even further.
âI met him quite naturally and dragged him to my residence. âThe reason I have to tell you this now is partly because the wealth is in disarray, but also because I donât believe there is a chance that another traitor exists.â
ââ¦Hmm.â
âPerhaps the fact that the Vice Lord fell like that was a trick of the traitors.â
Tsutsutsutsu.
Intense murderous energy emanated from the white paperâs body.
âHow dare theseâ¦!â
Even though I know itâs just a family, I canât control my life. He found it difficult to keep his cool when it came to matters related to Yangcheon.
âWe will get ready right away and leave within an hour.â
ââ¦.â
âAfter we leave, go straight to my residence. âBecause they imprisoned a traitor there.â
ââ¦I understand.â
âIâll say it again. Youâd better move quickly. If there is any waterproofing, they will try to figure out the traitorâs last movements and then try to escape from here.â
âRight.â
âAs soon as we leave the club, please ban the entire Mukryongbu from entering. Then go to my dwelling place and catch the traitor. âAfter that⦠I trust you will take care of it.â
The White Paper took over.
âYou must have had a hard time in a place I donât know. âThank you.â
Yeon Ho-jeong took the lead.
âIt was something that had to be done.â
âI have one question.â
âPlease speak.â
âHow did you know he was a traitor?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âBecause he was too distant from the zodiac signs.â
ââ¦Zodiac!â
âThe first-class Sejak tries not to stand out in all aspects of personality, position, and location. However, Sejak, who is classified as a special class, is bound to hang around in a conspicuous place, holding a prominent position with notable moves.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
âWell, heâs just a traitor, but itâs a bit hard to call him a three-year-old.â
He turned around.
âI will take good care of you, my lord.â
White Paper nodded with a heavy face.
âI have no doubt that you will return after completing your work well.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who turned his back, smiled bitterly.
Iâm sorry, but weâll never see each other again.

Sigh!
âWow!â
Black Sheep felt himself come to his senses at the sudden thunderbolt of water.
âGasp! Ugh!â
As soon as I came to my senses, I felt excruciating pain all over my body.
I couldnât move my upper body because of my broken ribs and clavicle. My right arm, which had torn cartilage and shattered joints, had no feeling at all.
A dull pain also arose in my thighs and abdomen. All of them were areas that had been attacked by the head of the intelligence department.
âaffection!â
The black sheep gritted his teeth for a moment.
âHow dare this rat-like bastard launch a surprise attackâ¦!â
It was then.
âYou mean me?â
The black sheep felt as if her heart was dropping.
âYou shouldnât look down on him too much because heâs a rat. âBecause there are fierce rats like me in this world.â
The black sheep barely moved her stiff neck and raised her head.
In front of him was a white paper with a bloodier expression than ever before.
âTraitor black sheep.â
ââ¦!!â
âItâs a pretty cruel sight. âI thought the head of the intelligence department wasnât an ordinary hero, but I didnât know he was so cruel.â
The white paper lowered its upper body.
âBut you know that, right? âThere are many torture experts at headquarters who would consider the hand of the intelligence chief to be as bad as punching a child.â
ââ¦gulp.â
âWell, I think weâve set the mood at this point.â
White Paper smiled coldly.
âIf you answer the question obediently, it may be quite painful, but I will kill you. But otherwiseâ¦â
ââ¦!!â
âI will make it so that you can neither live nor die. Do you understand?â
