Episode 576
Melon turns her head.
First of all, this had to be made clear. Namjeon had no personal relationship with Jeokgaesan. So he had no feelings of mourning or anger at Jeokgaesan’s death.
The only emotion that Nam-Jeon had left was fear.
I wonder if I will end up like that too.
Even if you are an inspector, you can’t just commit murder on your own. You can get punished for doing something wrong, starting with the police report.
The punishments we are talking about here are severe punishments that lead to imprisonment.
If the level of murder is such that it amounts to a massacre of almost innocent civilians, then the death penalty should be imposed immediately without even hearing the circumstances.
He is a former inspector general.
That’s why Namjeon could clearly see just how absurd Melon was doing.
At that level, at the very least, a report should be written and you may be summoned to the Central Inspection Office.
Crazy guy.
I’ve never seen anyone that crazy in my life.
Melon, who had just turned her head, met his eyes. Namjeon flinched and took a step back, but that wasn’t the end.
I kept stepping back.
Because the melon was approaching slowly.
“Why… why… why are you doing that?”
The speech naturally becomes louder.
There are two ways to manipulate others.
One is character, and the other is fear.
Now Melon has taken control of the South.
In fear.
“Please, don’t run away or anything like that.”
“… … .”
“Do you understand?”
“Yes… … . Inspector.”
As I said before, Namjeon was not angry at Jeokgaesan’s death.
Perhaps, among all those on this Mount Bota, those who hold a grudge against Mount Jeokgae are very pleased with this situation.
But just one family.
It was different at Botachungung.
“What the hell are you doing now!!”
The punishment for evaders is simple.
He must then serve time in public office equal to the total period of time he was unable to complete during his time on the run.
In the case of Jeokgaesan, he must first serve for 4 years, excluding 1 year from the 5-year service period, and since 4 years have passed since he went into seclusion, he must serve for an additional 4 years.
That means he will serve for 8 more years.

That is the punishment that will be meted out to the enemy.
The important thing is who will supervise such an evader who returns to work as an inspector. If the evader returns to public office, his supervisor must write a performance evaluation report every month and submit it to the Central Inspection Office.
If your performance evaluation falls below the standard, then you’ll just be thrown in jail.
This is a relatively mild punishment, and if you ‘accident’, you will be thrown in prison with your mana shut off.
The important thing is that Botachungung asked for Jeokgaesan to be subdued and punished.
That was a request to at least spare his ‘life’, but now Jeokgaesan is dead.
I didn’t want this situation to happen. If the princess of Botachung Palace, who is not here, finds out, she will be furious.
No matter how much trouble they have caused, they are still my children.
The female general of the Botachung Palace who guided Melon here was incomprehensible.
Substitute.
“Why did you kill him! He should be brought to trial… … .”
“Wasn’t it renewal that Botachungung wanted?”
“… … What?”
“The worm that deserved to die is dead, so now you can do what you want. You wanted to restore your fallen honor, so do that. What more could you ask for?”
Melon, who had spoken up to that point, slowly walked away.
Melon approached the female general and asked in a small voice.
“And, I think I forgot to mention this, but do I look like someone loyal to the Botachung Palace?”
“……no…….”
Then it’s done.
Melon had no more business in the Botachung Palace. She was about to take Namjeon to the Western Continent.
“What is this…? What the heck?”
Everyone present turned their heads at the sudden sound of a voice.
There, there was Jeokcheonseong, the princess of Botachungung.
He looked at the dead enemy mountain and looked at the melon with a suppressed face.
“… … I didn’t hear anyone say they were going to kill him?”
Melon let out a short sigh.
“I don’t think I ever said I would let you live.”
“It’s a problem of concept. Since you committed a crime, you should pay the price. The price we’re talking about here is to serve the remaining mandatory service period that you couldn’t fulfill. Now, that’s meaningless. You, who ignored the concept, killed my son.”
“The concept… … seems like a very good idea. I think you would do well as an inspector.”
“Stop being sarcastic, kid!”
Melon stared blankly at Jeokcheonseong, whose speech had completely changed since the first time she saw him.
“But didn’t you say you were going to renew it?”

“I did. When a bastard who has abandoned his duty returns to fulfill that duty and returns home in glory, that is renewal. After all, Botasan is ruled by our Botacheon Palace. You have now… … done something useless. You have turned our Botacheon Palace into an enemy. How do you plan on handling this? Our Botacheon Palace will formally protest to the Inspectorate. You are not qualified to be an inspector!”
Melon shook her head.
“I don’t care about that, but can we interpret it this way: the Botachungung used the Milos Empire?”

“……what?”
“You must have reaped many benefits after sending your child to the Academy. Even better, since his grades were in the top 50 and he was certain to be given a key position in the Milos Empire, he must have received requests from all over.”
Melon, who had been wiping the blood off her feet, continued speaking.
“You’ve seen all the benefits, and you’ve put up with all the whining from your childish children, but now that it’s no longer possible, you want me to take it instead? Did the ‘Milos Empire’ seem that funny?”
There wasn’t even a hint of smile on Melon’s lips as he spoke like that.
Melon sometimes thinks like this.
The position of inspector can be very useful at times, but in this case, it is an ill-fitting suit.
But it doesn’t matter.
The position of inspector is just a garment one wears.
What matters is the body wearing the clothes.
The hanger is the most important. My mother said that if you worry about others when you try to do something, it means you don’t trust yourself.
If you are sure that you are on the right path, then you should have no worries.
What more could you ask for?
Do whatever you want.
He kicked the seat right away.
The princess of Botachung Palace, Jeokcheonseong, tried to dodge by drawing up all her internal energy, but it was impossible.
Pfft!
There was a loud noise and the enemy’s body flew backwards. At the same time, Melon stretched out her hand.
The rocks that had fallen on the ground came to mind. There were exactly five of them. The smallest of them was as big as a grown man’s torso.
Melon swung her arm without a moment’s hesitation.
The rocks are flying. Like that.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Blood and flesh, presumed to belong to the princess of Botachung Palace and Jeokcheonseong, burst out everywhere.
Melon then walked to the place buried under rocks.
There was a bloody enemy buried in rocks.
“You… … crazy bastard… … . Do you know what you… … have just done?”
The enemy’s right arm was completely crushed and both legs were buried in rocks.
It was clear that he was completely crushed from the calf down.
Jeokcheonseong is a beginner master. It makes no sense that a master of that level can’t move a boulder this small.
However, if Melon pours mana into the rock and forcibly presses it down, it becomes possible.
Melon walked in front of him and quietly looked down at Jeokcheonseong.
In that moment, Jeokcheonseong forgot the pain, because his whole body had become cold.
Should I call it horror?
This guy in front of me… … there was something strange.
It was just weird.

I guess you could say it feels like you’re wearing clothes that don’t fit.
“I thought about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, it seems like there is no reason for the Botachung Palace to exist in the martial arts world.”
“……what?”
“Just, just know that.”
Melon slowly stepped back and snapped her fingers.
Taak-!
As soon as the extremely clear sound spread.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
All the rocks that were weighing down the enemy’s body exploded at once.
Melon turned around.
Nam-jeon, who had been watching the situation while sitting down, flinches. Melon said.
“Don’t go anywhere and stay here.”
“… … Where… … are you going?”
“Botachungung.”
Before I could even ask why I was going there.
“If you run away, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you. If you understand, nod your head.”
Namjeon nodded his head madly.
After that, Melon walked towards the top of the mountain where the Botachung Palace was located.
That day.
The Botachungung sect was destroyed.
* * *
The Prime Minister of the Empire of Milos is very busy.
He’s so busy that it makes you wonder if he can handle that much work on his own. He handles things.
Aveiro.
He was the true core of the Milos Empire and one of the closest aides to Emperor Jack Milos.
There were countless documents on his desk in his office.
National key policies and academy status reports, quarterly reports from the Central Supply Office, quarterly reports from the Central Inspection Office, etc.
There were even documents related to the convent.
It was clear that each and every one of them was an important document.
But these are currently on the back burner for Aveiro.
This wasn’t a joke. I’m serious.
There was something more important than anything else right now.
This is the material you have in your hand right now.
[Report on Inspector Melon]
The title was neat.
But the content was by no means neat.

“The Cheonhasung branch has been destroyed… … Of the four evaders, one has been caught and the other… … is dead?”
For a moment I thought I saw something wrong.
It wasn’t just a simple death. And next to it were these words written:
“… … You destroyed the Botachung Palace… …? This is driving me crazy.”
To be honest, it was possible to deal with it in some way. To be exact, I should say it was possible to make an excuse.
The things that Botachungung has done are also organized next to it, and this is so much so that it makes you wonder if it would be worth it even if it were to be destroyed.
Should we say that he lived like a king on Mount Bota? From murder to rape, he even massacred people, stole their property, and suppressed them with force.
It was just plain ugly.
According to the results of the investigation by the Taoist, it was not the evader Jeokgaesan alone who ruined the ten families, but he worked together with Botacheon Palace. The inspector stormed into Botacheon Palace to catch the evader.
It could be seen that the evader responded to the inspector’s event by putting his family first, and the inspector reacted a bit too harshly. It’s a matter of interpretation.
To put it bluntly, he is a criminal.
They were clear criminals and deserved to die. The process and the result are important, and even though Melon seems to be going out now, he was somehow creating the process and the result.
just.
“The result is that he made the decision arbitrarily without the permission of the Empire of Milos… … .”
Aveiro let out a small sigh and quietly read the rest of the text.
After reading through it all, I let out another sigh.
Other things aside,
“What should I do about touching the world… … .”
Now, four patrolmen and one lord of Cheonha Castle are dead. Exactly 231 of the shamans under them have died, and it is all Melon’s fault.
No, it hasn’t been that long since you went to the Eastern Continent, and you already have blood on your hands.
Since Melon is currently away from Cheonha Castle due to other matters, there are countless people gnashing their teeth inside Cheonha Castle.
There’s no need to go far.
There is intelligence that Namgung Cheol-yeong, the head of the Cheonha Seong Sacheon branch and the superior of Park Mu-gi, is so angry that he wants to chew on Melon right now, and the same goes for Sahon Je, who is also the head of the Cheonha Seong Sacheon branch. The Melon issue has already reached Mu-jin, the lord of the castle.
“… … I think I know what my lord is thinking, but this… … seems too reckless.”
I’m serious.
Since he was someone as big as Aveiro, he knew what Melon was doing and why he was acting that way.
But that method was a bit extreme. No, the word “a bit” was inappropriate. It was very extreme.
What should I do with Melon, or rather, Daniel?
“I guess I’ll have to discuss this with my lord.”
I definitely had to talk to Jack in some way. I didn’t know it would be this bad.
Aveiro, who had been sitting quietly, lost in thought, suddenly chuckled.
The situation seemed familiar. Before he took the position of prime minister, when the Teslan Kingdom still existed.
It was so similar to the ‘someone at that moment’ I had seen back then when I was the branch manager of a mere information store.
“… … I wonder whose son he is. He really looks the same.”
This is also true.
