Episode 1047 The night before the storm (3)
Mukbi’s statement was as sudden and shocking as if a cannonball had been dropped on a peaceful village.
“Well, what do you mean by that?”
Jeong Iha asked in surprise.
“You’re saying we’re not going together? Oh, no, what does it mean to give up your position as an elder and go back… … ?!”
“I cut out the front and back and only got to the main point, so it’s no wonder you’re confused.”
Mukbi’s voice was truly strange.
It is calm yet contains an irresistible dignity. However, there was a gentleness that prevented the listener from feeling particularly resentful.
It was also thanks to her way of speaking. Although she was not without an air of coercion, her respect for her opponents was also evident. In addition, the prayers of a super expert who was on the verge of defeat and the strong atmosphere honed through numerous battlefields brought out the charm that made him completely dominate the conference room.
“I’ll be honest with you. “The current elders are not suitable to be the adults of the new organization that will be born under the name of New Mukryongbu and Black Emperor.”
“Please explain.”
Hong Guk, the leader of the waterway, was cautious and calm even though he came from a hostile background.
However, he couldn’t completely get rid of his displeasure. I couldn’t feel good when someone who suddenly became the highest-ranking person in the organization under the pretense of being the next careless friend suddenly came and spoke to me as if giving orders.
“We also thought that the moment would come when we would have to talk to the five of us. But you can imagine how we feel when we are told to stay or leave without any explanation.”
“Of course I do.”
“Please explain.”
Mukbi smiled.
It was a small smile, but that alone seemed to calm down the atmosphere in the conference room.
Even among those who are strong in Tang Geum, there are not many who would follow Muk Fei, considering his difficult life. This means that she is a person who has literally experienced all kinds of hardships before birth.
As a warrior, my prayers naturally became stronger and sharper. Her prayers made it impossible for anyone to ignore her silence, but on the contrary, they also served to diminish her charm as a person.
His tall stature, slender body polished through martial arts training, along with his clear senses and deep eyes make him an appearance that will make anyone admire him. His facial expression doesn’t change much usually, but when he smiles once in a while, his mood changes noticeably.
“Fortunately, the. “Because each and every one of the elders is cautious and maintains their pride as a warrior.”
“… … ?”
“That makes me even more frustrated. “I care about my family, but you don’t read the world properly.”
It was a strange thing to say.
It’s not that they don’t know how to read the world properly, it’s that they don’t read it. At the very least, it was a statement that implied that he was not incompetent.
“War is coming soon. “I don’t know where it will start or when it will explode, but I daresay it is highly likely that the entire midfield will be engulfed in excitement.”
“… … .”
“Do you think now is the time to worry about me? Or do you think it is time to think about future generations?”
Hong Guk’s eyes wavered.
Jeong Iha cautiously opened his mouth.
“Of course, the situation is like this, but in times like this, we have to be more careful… … .”
“I think the patience of a person who can see the situation clearly is prudent, but the patience of a person who is optimistic about the situation is nothing but laziness.”
The smile disappeared from Mukbi’s face.
“It is right to think about the future of my organization. No one can spit on that attitude. But aren’t you all elders of the Ink Dragon Club?”
“… … !”
“If you hold the title of elder of the Black Path League, and if you know that the shadow of war is looming right under our noses, then this cannot be the case. Even though I have little experience with a strong team, I know what to do at this moment.”
“… … .”
“I too want peaceful dialogue. I have no hobby of causing trouble by fighting, criticizing, or making fun of people. But you were too timid.”
“Please tell me in what areas you were timid.”
“If it were me, from the moment I became the new head of the organization, I would reorganize the organization’s system and immediately train the warriors. At the same time, I would think about which areas to defend in times of war, which areas to take advantage of, and to what extent to mobilize troops. “I would have planned to see if it could be done and raised the agenda to the top.”
The elders’ faces hardened.
Mukbi sighed and said.
“Thanks to you, the senior staff, you were able to eliminate the problems within the organization and create a stable foundation. But did it really have to end there?”
“… … .”
“Yeon Sobuju, whom you consider to be your benefactor, immediately left for the Murim Maeng and went to Shinmarim in Cheonghae, where there was a big fight. Afterwards, he returned to the Maeng and suffered all kinds of humiliation before returning.”
“… … !”
“If I had the authority of an elder, I would have led all the organization’s troops and rushed to the Murim Alliance. “Even if the vice-lord hadn’t given permission, I would have tried it.”
“… … .”
“What on earth were you guys doing? The reason why Yeonsobuju chose you was because he thought you had the ability, even if it was just a stopgap measure. In that case, he should have known how to envision the future beyond that, rather than just sit back and take care of his own home.”
Han Jong-rim sighed and opened his mouth.
“This is correct in every detail. I just want to tell you one thing. This is not an excuse… … . “Honestly, we didn’t know what to do.”
It was a completely understandable statement.
They had power. If you have ability, you also have power.
However, although they were different from the existing leaders, they were also deep-rooted black people. These are seeds of darkness that abhor betrayal and harbor a spirit of cooperation, but have never sprouted.
Their eyes were only focused on Yeonhojeong. It wasn’t that I wanted to achieve something with him, but that I was feeling burdened by moving without his orders.
It was not because they were weak, but because they lived that way. If they had been vicious black people, they would have been doubled by this opportunity, but they respected Yeon Ho-jeong, who gave them a new life, and saw him as a leader who would lead them.
I could be a visionary leader in my own organization, but in the larger world, I was unable to do anything due to my timidity disguised as caution.
That was their limit.
They even acknowledged their own limitations.
It was something worthy of being evaluated as humble and honest.
but.
“If you knew your limits, you should have looked for ways to go beyond them. Since my limitations are this much, I should have thought about what I could do to break through my limitations and move forward, rather than just acknowledging them and finding what I was good at.”
“… … .”
“In times of peace, we need people like you. But war is just around the corner. “We do not need people who acknowledge their limitations and stop, but we need people who break their limitations and work hard to lead the war to victory.”
“we are… … .”
“And Yeon Sobuju, or rather the next Heukjeseongju, wants to win this war.”
“… … !!”

“You want to repay the favor to the next Lord of the Black Emperor, right? “If you knew that right away, you should have been ready to fight already.”
Mukbi’s voice, which spun around and returned to the starting point, was as calm and cool as the first time.
“What the Lord of the Black Emperor wants is victory and survival. Those are things that cannot be achieved without sacrifice. In order to minimize that sacrifice, you all must stand up. but… … .”
At that time, So Jeong-gwang opened his mouth.
“It is not easy for people who have once bowed their heads to rise again.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to So Jeong-gwang.
Although he interrupted himself, Mukbi was not angry. She just silently nodded her head.
So Jeong-gwang spoke in a calm voice that was as quiet as silence.
“That’s why I’m asking you to stay here. There should be a manager here in the first place, but there is absolutely nothing to gain by moving together. No, on the contrary, it would be easier for us if you were here.”
“What does it mean to be comfortable?”
“If you stay here, warriors from the Teenage Organization will also gather here. In other words, you can become the first line of defense for the Black Empire.”
“… … !!”
“If they are people who cannot swing their spears with lights in their eyes, it is in our interest to at least protect their front yard.”
The elders’ faces turned red. It was due to anger rather than shame.
Jinyang, who was quietly looking at them, suddenly asked.
“Are you embarrassed?”
“… … .”
“It’s good if you’re embarrassed. “It means I haven’t died yet or given up.”
“… … ?!”
“As Jeong Gwang said here, I have never seen a few cases where someone who acknowledged their limitations and settled down rises up to fight the world again. However, as someone who once led the Black Island Clan, I wish I could be with you.”
Gangryang received Jinyang’s words.
“I am the only survivor of the prestigious Heukdo clan, Gwicheolgeommun. Since it was wiped out by the hands of King Yang Cheon of the Mukryongbuju, it can truly be called Cheolcheon Jisoo. And yet I am here. Why do you think that is?”
“… … .”
“I wanted to help my benefactor, Brother Yeon, but it was also because I knew that my benefactor could not be released without winning this war.”
“… … !”
“Well, if I were to attack with my current skills, I wouldn’t even be able to point out the three-second point of the King of Fighters.”
He playfully shrugged his shoulders, but in reality, he had lived a more miserable life than anyone else gathered here.
Sima Hyun said with a grin.
“I didn’t have anything to say, but since you said that we are allies fighting together, I will just say one thing.”
“… … .”
“If you’re scared, just withdraw and leave. “The captain is a person who will quickly forget such trivial favors, so it will be beneficial for you as well.”
“… … ?!”
“Please pay the withdrawal fee instead. You need a lot of money to go to war. There must be that level of loyalty, right? “You earned a lot of money thanks to the captain, right?”
His words were decisive.
Hwaaaaaaa!
A ferocious energy emanated from the elders’ bodies.
Dan Lihu, who had been silent, spoke in a subdued voice.
“I don’t mind you looking down on us, but I can’t bear to think of you as such ungrateful pawns.”
“okay? “Then what are you going to do?”
bang!
The conference room table split in half.
The eyes of Lim Geo-suk, the new head lender of Nokrim, who could not follow the conversation properly, were burning with anger.
“What can I do? What can I do!” Since when have we, who represent the Black Island, been reduced to scared earthworms? “Even though I come from a bandit background, I’m not an insect that doesn’t know loyalty!”
“Are you not a bandit and still a bandit?”
“That bastard?”
Lim Geo-suk’s face changed like an active volcano.
“You bastard! I just listened to him because he was an acquaintance of Lord Sobu, and there was nothing he couldn’t say! It won’t work. You come out, man!”
“I’m not leaving, man.”
“W-what?!”
“A match is always welcome. If you want to fight us, make your intentions clear first and then draw your sword.”
“What did you hear? Green Forest will definitely participate in the war!”
“Then you come out. “Let’s take a look at your skills.”
Lim Geo-suk huffed and kicked the door of the conference room. Sima Hyeon chuckled and she followed behind him.
In a cluttered conference hall.
The calm voice of silence penetrated into their ears.
“I’ll give you half a day to think. “Once the decision has been made, you can come to us this time.”
