Episode 573
The inspectors of the Office of the Inspector General are literally the ones who conduct inspections.
What matters is what they inspect, and they inspect the ‘law’.
They can investigate when someone acts in violation of the law, and when there are clear circumstances that indicate a crime has been committed.
The inspector general can bring along the ‘inspector generals’ from each inspection office, but there were no inspector generals in the Eastern Continent.
In the first place, does it make sense that the Inspector General’s Office has one director, one deputy director, and one general administrative employee?
So now Melon came alone.
The current situation is that he has overturned the Namman Jincheon Palace, saying that he will make an emergency arrest on his own.
Namjeon quickly stood up from his seat.
First, let me make an excuse.
“I think there is some misunderstanding.”
“Are you misunderstanding?”
“Why are you arresting me?”
“Are you really asking because you don’t know?”
“I don’t know. Why on earth did you touch the Nammanjincheon Palace in the first place, and why on earth did you touch our lord? Do you know what kind of results your actions will bring about?”
Needless to say, the powers of the inspector general are enormous. With such powers, it is only natural that reflexes should be taken into account.
When you start an investigation, you turn things upside down here and there, but if it turns out to be a place that has no relation to anything and was out of the blue, the inspector will be severely punished.
You could even be sent to prison, and if you receive a more severe punishment, you may be forced to do hard labor as a ‘normal person’ for a while.
Now Namjeon was picking on it, but Melon, on the other hand, just laughed at his words.
“You seem to have a good understanding of the Inspector General Act and its enforcement procedures.”
“… … .”
“Nan Jeon, former inspector of the Milos Empire Inspectorate’s Cheonhasung branch and the princess of the Southern Manchu Heavenly Palace, you are under emergency arrest for violating the Academy Special Law, the Inspectorate Law, and the Milos Empire Law. Failure to comply may result in your limbs being cut off and your mana circle exploding. Kneel down on the spot and raise both hands above your head… … .”
“I think you’re making a big mistake. I’m not Namjeon.”
As the words ceased, Melon’s eyes twitched slightly.
“I think you said you were the Melon Inspector, but you have the wrong person. The Southern Lord of Soga died a long time ago. So, let’s stop here. At this point, even the Southern Manchu Palace can close its eyes. Let’s not blush at each other.”
The polymorph spell that had been covering Namjeon’s face was broken a long time ago. In other words, Namjeon is now protesting that he is not Namjeon with his own face.
Let’s just leave it at that.
Let’s not do any more than this and pretend not to see it even when we see it with our own eyes.
It’s like talking like this.
Sigh, Melon let out a deep sigh and quietly looked around.
The fallen warriors of the Nammanjincheon Palace stood up from their seats and reorganized their battle formation.
It happened.
At this point, I’ve talked long enough.
Melon started walking. As soon as Namjeon realized that Melon’s steps were heading towards him, he hesitated and took a step back.
What should I do?

There is no answer.
That guy was too strong.
Then a word came to my mind.
escape.
Let’s think about it after we escape somehow. Let’s avoid this place for now.
It was at that moment that I turned around and tried to get up.
Ugh.
Something grabbed his neck. With a bang, Namjeon’s body fell to the ground.
“Let go of this… … .”
It was a melon.
Melon grabbed Namjeon by the back of his neck and threw him to the ground.
Melon whispered softly in Namjeon’s ear.
“Senior. Are you going to do something so shameful?”
“… … .”
“There is a limit to how dirty you can be. If I kill everyone in the Nammanjincheon Palace, including Nam Seong-hui, and display their heads in front of you, will you only confess then?”
“… … This crazy bastard, even if he is an inspector, if you do something like that, you will be severely punished.”
Melon snickers.
“so?”
“… … So that’s why, didn’t I say you’d be severely punished too… … .”
“Do you think you can’t do it?”
At that moment, Nam-jeon felt goosebumps all over his body.
“Severe punishment? That’ll be the end of it. Do you think I’ll let a brat like you go because you’re scared of something like that? And.”
In some ways, this is the most important.
“I’ll borrow your words. Do you have any evidence that I did it?”
“… … .”
“Do you think I would leave any evidence?”
“… … We can’t kill them all. There must be witnesses… … .”
“Do you really think there will be witnesses?”
“… … .”
“There may be circumstantial evidence. However, without solid physical evidence like what I am doing now, circumstantial evidence will only remain as suspicion. The only thing left is the destruction of the Namman Jincheon Palace. Do you want that?”
Melon’s hand tightened. It took her breath away.
“Decide. Will you confess to being the Namjeon here and end the situation, or will you have a second chance to confess after everyone in your family, including your father, is dead? I’m telling you this just in case, but there will be no third chance. You’ll be killed too. Now count to five.”

Melon’s warning was real, at least to Namjeon’s ears.
It was when one came out of Melon’s mouth, and then two came out.
“stop!”

Everyone in the Nammanjincheon Palace who was about to rush in at Namjeon’s shout stopped. They were unable to do anything because Namjeon was already subdued, and since Melon’s power was so overwhelming, they were considering running away if possible, so they welcomed Namjeon’s answer.
Namjeon said in a suppressed voice.
“I am Namjeon.”
Everyone in the Nanmanjincheon Palace thought as soon as they heard Nanjeon’s words.
It’s over.
It’s finally over.
Melon slowly stood up from her seat.
He turned his gaze towards Nam Seong-hwi, the head of the Namman Jincheon Palace.
“Will you do more?”
“It makes no sense.”
Nam Seong-hui, who said that, lightly gestured to those around him.
Then everyone in the Namman Jincheon Palace slowly lowered their weapons.
That was the end.
Melon said, walking away.
“Let’s go.”
Namjeon walked with a limp, like a dog being dragged to the slaughterhouse.
* * *
Caught one of the four.
Completely subjugated, now three remain.
Before that, I went to a nearby restaurant with Nam-jeon to have a meal, and there I asked him a question.
“I met Raymond Beckman and he told me to live like a mouse and on top of that, I paid him a certain amount of money?”
“… … Exactly ten million nyang of silver, several jewels, and.”
“and?”
“I gave the information.”
information.
This was important.
“What information?”
“Before that, I want to touch on this. Why are you talking down to me? I’m your senior at the Academy.”
He just waved his hand.
Crack-!
Namjeon’s face suddenly turns away.
Nam-jeon, with a blank expression, slowly raised his hand and touched his reddened left cheek.
He spoke to the man in a quiet voice.
“Say that again.”
“… … .”

“Who is your senior?”
I don’t know how I will appear in Namjeon’s eyes, but one thing is certain.
“I’m the inspector, you’re the criminal, that’s all. You’ve come too far to be judging by your seniority in the Academy. Do you understand what I mean?”
“… … .”
“answer.”
“Ah… … I see.”
He spoke as if informing the frightened Nam-jeon.
“Don’t cross the line. If you don’t want to get left behind.”
“… … Okay. Be careful.”
I asked, taking a bite of the pork on the table.
“What information did you give me?”
“… … The undisclosed pasts of the major figures of Cheonhaseong.”
The mouth that was doing the chewing motion stops for a moment.
Should I say it’s a bit out of the blue?
“Cheonhasung, key figure?”
“The two great lords, Namgung Cheol-yeong and Sahonje. And the information about the main lord… … uh.”
It was really out of the blue and unexpected.
Why on earth would Raymond Beck ask for something like that?
“18 years ago, the Namgung Se family destroyed six families in the martial arts world. The second son of the Namgung Se family, Namgung Ju-won, led the attack, and Namgung Cheol-yeong, the head of the Namgung Se family, stopped it. However, the truth is the opposite. Namgung Cheol-yeong started it and framed his second son, Namgung Ju-won. Namgung Ju-won was executed by the family because of it. Raymond Beck demanded evidence that Namgung Cheol-yeong was the mastermind behind all of this.”
“Did you bring it?”
“I brought about half of it.”
“half?”
“There is no testimony or evidence that Namgung Cheol-yeong was present at the time of the destruction of the six families, and nothing else.”
“What about the wedding ceremony?”
“Sahonje loves children. Regardless of gender.”
This was a bit unexpected. In fact, I didn’t know anything about the person called Sahonje, but this was the first information I had learned.
“The Sahonje system supplies children from all over the country. They are used once and then thrown away. I requested information about the supply source. And I.”
“You brought it to me?”
“… … I brought it to you. The Namman Jincheon Palace is quite powerful in the martial arts world. It shouldn’t be difficult to obtain that much information.”
What is Raymond Beck’s occupation?
He is an inspector.
He is also an inspector who rules over a certain department.
Even Raymond Beck has a ‘connection’.
The connection is very thick, connecting numerous places including the Central Inspection Office.
There were several things that were questionable.

First of all, why didn’t Raymond Beck resign from his position as inspector general?
Why did you ‘waste’ decades stuck on the Eastern Continent?
I think I get it at this point.
Wasn’t that ‘Herbie’, or Beck’s own preparation?
“… … I understand what you’re thinking right now, but honestly, I don’t think that can be considered a ‘weakness’.”
That’s right.
Because in the end, strength is what matters.
but.
“We can block the path to success. At least, the Lord of Heaven, Ryu Jin, will be keeping an eye on the Western Continent. And using that information, Namgung Cheol-yeong and Sahonje will be able to work ‘together’ with Raymond Beck. Are you denying this too?”
Namjeon shook his head.
Anyway, the Eastern Continent has its own laws, and the Western Continent has its own laws.
Originally, both continents should have been unified under one law, but now it is ambiguous.
Because my father, the Emperor, said that he would grant autonomy to the Eastern Continent.
The only one that can interfere with that autonomy is the Inspectorate on the Eastern Continent. Raymond Beck, the person in charge of managing that Inspectorate, has gathered information that can be used to pressure the key figures of Cheonhaseong. Even if he can’t kill them, he can at least put pressure on them. Judging from the current situation, it seems that the head of the clan, Namgung Cheol-yeong, doesn’t like Beck.
The situation is so strange that it makes me laugh.
Namgung Cheol-young reported Raymond Beck to the Central Inspection Office. In other words, Namgung Cheol-young also gathered evidence that could pressure Beck in his own way, and when Beck was in danger, he tried to get rid of him by immediately stabbing him in the Central Inspection Office. That is the current situation.
“Is there anything else?”
“……does not exist.”
Then it’s done.
Next is the princess of Botachungung, Jeokgaesan.
