Episode 587
Jack felt a sting.
“I understand that it is difficult to take care of everything while receiving reports from Aveiro, but he is our son. I hope it won’t be like this again.”
Seriously, Jack was sorry.
“I was so stupid. I shouldn’t have done that to you, let alone anyone else. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. Now tell me. What on earth are you thinking?”
“It’s simple. As I said before, the position of inspector seems like a chain to him.”
That wasn’t a wrong statement.
“When I saw him, he wouldn’t reveal his identity even if he was about to die. That’s the kind of guy he is. Then he’s just a ‘new inspector Melon’ with no backing.”
Commoners and nobles are bound to be different in the end.
You can’t deny that.
“There are some kids who are wary of him.”
“Is that the Central Inspection Office?”
“That’s right. To be exact, there are other places besides the Central Inspection Office, but let’s just talk about the Central Inspection Office here. The actions he took on the Eastern and Western Continents were justified, but excessive. That gives the Central Inspection Office a justification. It’s not that Daniel doesn’t have a justification, but if we really compare, the Central Inspection Office is ahead. So what can Daniel do in that situation?”
“There’s nothing else to do but run wild.”
“That’s right. It’s crazy and wild. But if Daniel were to fight the Central Inspection Office with all the ranks removed, at least Daniel as of now can’t defeat the Central Inspection Office. There’s a monster there.”
Valentine could tell who the monster was talking about here.
“Are you talking about Carl Sagan?”
“That’s right. I was so surprised when I first saw where that kid was hiding.”
Valentine was surprised too. Carl Sagan is a transcendent being.
It’s a beginner’s level of natural scenery.
There’s little room for it to go further than that, but a monster is still a monster.
And there is one such monster on the Eastern Continent as well.
“So, you approved the Central Inspection Office’s agenda.”
“That’s right. The Lord of the World, Ryu Jin. He’s also a natural beauty.”
Jack smiled softly once more.
“I wonder, too. What choice our son will make.”
I intend to respect whatever choice you make.
Because he is my son. Because he is my child.
Rather, it was also something to look forward to.
The two people watched the setting sun.
Jack said in a small voice.
“Raising children is hard, isn’t it?”
Valentine smiled as if he agreed.

The situation has become really dire.
The contents of the order spread like wildfire.
Everyone could see it.
Now, a man named Melon has been abandoned by the world of inspectors.
The hat Melon wears on his head is made of paper.
He has five years left. After five years, he will be expelled from the world of the Inspector General.
I repeat, this interpretation is correct.
If it were really possible to reduce the crime rate on the Eastern Continent to a decimal point, there would be no reason for the Eastern and Western Continents to be so separate, and Jack would not have declared that he was leaving everything on the Eastern Continent to its own hands.
Whenever Melon does something to lower the crime rate, eventually, in some way, a ‘problem’ is created.
This refers to issues that are not problems if left alone, but become problems if raised.
Looking at the path Melon has walked so far, Melon has killed quite a few people.
You will have blood on your hands again.
That’s because Melon is currently an inspector, so he didn’t raise the issue. If Melon is no longer an inspector and the hat he wears on his head disappears, Melon will not be protected.
In simple terms, the Central Inspectorate and the Milos Empire were talking to Melon.
I told you not to do anything anymore.
I will give you the title of temporary chief, so live like a king on the Eastern Continent for five years and then quietly disappear.
Cheonhasung moved quickly.
The newly appointed head of the Sacheon region headed straight to the cabin where Melon was staying.
Melon was lying there leisurely.
Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
‘… … This guy, if you think about it, isn’t he a guy that John X envies?’
He graduated at the top of his class at the academy when he was not even 20 years old, and now, although it is a position with no clear future, he has become the temporary director and is in charge of the entire Eastern Continent.
I know it’s rat poison, but I’m still jealous of it.
Wow, what an enviable life.
Since money comes in regularly without him having to do anything and he has already proven his power, he can enter any family as a guest as long as they are not an inspector. It may be a bit funny, but most daughters of decent families might want to take Melon as their son-in-law.
Melon’s talent is so great that if she has a child who inherits that talent, she can at least look forward to an interesting future.
I don’t know what he thinks, but I decided not to think too deeply about it.
“who?”
As soon as Melon, who was lying in the cabin, spoke, the lord smiled brightly and said.
“I am Akjeonggun, the new leader of Sacheon. I have come to greet the head of the Special Inspection Office of the Eastern Continent.”
Melon tilts her head.
“I am not the mayor.”

“No. You are the Inspector General. No matter what the future holds, for now, you are the emperor who holds all the personnel authority of the Eastern Continent Inspector General in your hands.”
Melon, who thought that the word emperor was too much of an exaggeration, slowly stood up from his seat.
“Did you say the evil army?”
Advertisements
“yes.”
“I am Melon. Starting today, I will be taking up the temporary position of the Eastern Continent Inspectorate. So let’s hurry and go. Why are you here?”
“As I said before, I came to say hello.”
I don’t think he just came to say hello.
Melon, who thought so, asked.
“I don’t like to talk long. Master of the Evil Army, let’s not talk long and let’s not tire each other out.”
The evil spirit said with a smile.
“I am different from my predecessor.”
“different?”
“Yes. The previous head of the family, Park Mu-gi, conspired with Raymond Beck to turn you into an enemy. But I have no intention of turning you into an enemy.”
The evil army’s expression was very serious.
“I would rather cooperate with you.”
“You want a relationship like that between the previous owners, Park Mu-gi and Raymond Beck, is that it?”
“No, strictly speaking, I want a deeper relationship.”
Melon expressed doubt at these words.
“A deeper relationship?”
“Yes. If others were in the same situation as you, Melon, they probably wouldn’t do anything.”
That’s clear.
“You shouldn’t do anything, so that you won’t become a ‘target of investigation’ by the Inspector General’s Office after you’ve been dismissed. But I don’t think Melon is the kind of person who would do nothing.”
Only then does an interested smile appear on Melon’s lips.
“Cheonha Castle is not the entirety of the Eastern Continent, but the majority of the Eastern Continent’s powerful martial arts families are affiliated with Cheonha Castle. If you reduce Cheonha Castle’s crime rate, you will be able to achieve meaningful results.”
Before Melon could even speak, the evil army continued speaking.
“You may be thinking of hiring general staff, but I will support you with the best talent.”
According to the provisions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office Act, holding concurrent positions is strictly prohibited.
In that case, can a person who concurrently holds a position such as a patrolman, a clan leader, or a grand clan leader within Cheonha Castle become an inspector or general employee under the Inspectorate Act?
Legally speaking, it is originally impossible, but there is a special provision in the Eastern Continent’s Inspectorate Act.
A regulation that states that the Inspector General can make arbitrary judgments only regarding concurrent positions, limited to the Eastern Continent.
So, there is no problem at all.
In reality, there is no supply office or administrative office within the Eastern Continent. Among the government agencies, only the Inspectorate is located within the Eastern Continent. And that is just one.
We need to recruit manpower, but the people from the Western Continent absolutely refuse to go. Even if we force them to go, they all end up involved in some kind of accident or report for transfer in some way.
That’s why that special regulation was created.
“As the newly elected leader, I have a duty to take charge of the security of Sacheon. I will use you, Chief. So, Chief, use me too.”
I like it. I really like the melon.
But there was just one thing, just one thing, that I didn’t like.
“I would like you to call me ‘Acting Director’ instead of ‘Director’.”
Advertisements
“… … .”
“I’m still the interim director.”
The evil forces smiled brightly.
“Understood, Acting Director. I will be counting on you in the future.”
At first impression, at least, it felt different from Park Moo-gi.
Melon and the evil forces joined hands like that.
Now we need to discuss the details.
The evil spirits said.
“There are quite a few private organizations not only in Sacheon but also in many other regions.”
“Are you talking about a private organization?”
“Yes. You can think of it as a criminal organization. It is made up of skeletal structures, and they commit countless crimes in the shadows, from drugs to people, and even contract killings. Their name is ‘Hoecheon-gyo’. No one knows who their leader is.”
Melon tilted her head.
Hoecheon Bridge.
First of all, it’s an organization I’ve never heard of before. But you don’t even know the head?
“Aren’t the Cheonhasungs the ones who are almost at the top of the Eastern Continent? And yet, you’re saying they couldn’t catch the evil spirit?”
“Unfortunately, yes. I have caught the weeds many times, but they were all banned.”
“taboo?”
“Yes. It was a taboo that if you mentioned ‘anything’ related to them, including the evil spirits, your head would explode.”
Melon gradually began to take real interest in the words of the evil forces.
“Not only the great lord, but even the lord tried to lift the ban, but they could not.”
“How was the Lord of the World, Ryu Jin?”
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t reach Ryu Jin-nim’s line. However, the Lord left these words.”
“What did you leave behind?”
“It is certain that this ‘imprint’ was created by a being that transcends humanity at the very least.”
“… … .”
“The leader of the Hoecheon Church is a transcendent being. I intend to catch him. To be exact, I want to catch him.”
Melon stared blankly at Akjeonggun. Akjeonggun’s current level is at best an intermediate master.
It’s not a common sight, but it’s not bad for someone who wants to catch a transcendent being.
“So you need me?”
“Yes. From our perspective, the Chief of Staff is clearly a transcendent being. Is that correct?”
Melon didn’t answer.
“We will hand over all the information we have collected. And we will supplement all the necessary personnel as much as possible.”
Melon nodded.
“I will send the patrol officers today. You can use them. They are all newly appointed, so you will probably find them easy to handle. If there is anyone you like, hire them as an employee. I will arrange for it to proceed as the acting chief wishes without any procedures.”
After saying this, Akjeonggun politely greeted Melon and left the room.

Melon stared blankly at the back of the evil army moving away.
There is no way that the evil forces can carry out this task alone.
‘Is it Namgung Cheol-yeong…?
There is a high probability that the person behind is Namgung Cheol-yeong.
There was no reason to refuse. Melon, who was left alone, let out a sigh.
I’m thinking of giving it a try. I’ll just try to do it, and if it doesn’t work out, then there’s nothing I can do.
This means reducing the crime rate on the Eastern Continent to a decimal point.
First of all, I think I need to hear some information about Hoecheon Bridge.
