Episode 598
“Say it again. What did you say?”
“… … Chief Inspector Melon has provided a list of those believed to be members of the Hoecheon Church… … .”
“Other than that, what we talked about next.”
“… … I asked the patrolmen to make a choice. Either travel around the entire Eastern Continent and subdue the remnants of the Hoecheon Sect, or stay in Cheonha Castle.”
Namgung Cheol-yeong was in a very bad mood.
It’s impossible to hide the crumpled expression on his face.
In a word, I blurted it out.
“You crazy kid.”
“… … .”
“I felt it when I first saw him, but he’s really a tough guy.”
Should I say it’s absurd?
Since the head of the household wasn’t stupid, he could fully understand why Namgung Cheol-yeong was acting like this.
“… … This kid, it seems like he didn’t subdue the Hoecheon Sect, but ate the Hoecheon Sect?”
“That’s right. According to the report sent by the patrol officers, the temporary chief brought a woman named Yeongwol with him.”
“Yeongwol… … Is this the Yeongwol I know?”
“… … Yes, that’s probably right.”
The situation was simple.
I can confidently say that there is not a single person among the major figures of Cheonhasung who does not know the existence of the Hoecheon Church.
In the first place, it is possible to reach the position of patrolman through force or popularity alone, but not from there on.
The most important thing to get to the top is the ability to keep secrets and the network of people who can provide information.
Hoecheon Bridge is the best in the water industry.
That is, it could be used as a secret sword to kill those who opposed the will of the world.
The reason why Hoecheon Church was able to do business like that was because they were connected in some way to the major figures of Cheonha Seong, and the fact that information spread in the past that a member of Hoecheon Church had been caught and banned was ultimately just a result of ‘deals’.
To elaborate a little on that incident, there was a time when a contractor from the Hoecheon Church killed a person who was ‘not to be killed’. The Hoecheon Church and Cheonha Seong made a deal.
At that time, I decided to give up one of the assassins who made a mistake.
It was settled that one person carried everything, and that information remains in Cheonhasung’s data.
The head of the clan, Namgung Cheol-yeong, and the head of the clan, Ak Jeong-gun, who are currently talking about Yeongwol in this place, know about the existence of Hoecheon Bridge and also know about the existence of Yeongwol.
Yeongwol is the name of a woman who receives requests and arranges for contractors at the secret meeting place of the Hoecheon Church, and is also a woman of around 2nd or 3rd rank within the Hoecheon Church.
Not only was she pretty, but she was also smart.
I’m not a genius, but I guess you could say I’m a bit of a wit.
Within Cheonha Castle, it was determined that Yeongwol’s abilities as a strategist were in the top 0.1%.
That person just entered the Eastern Continent Inspectorate? The temporary director brought him?
“… … I ate it. What the hell is this kid doing?”
Namgung Cheol-yeong simply found this situation absurd.

A person who is an inspector and has absorbed the ‘assassination organization’?
The combination didn’t work.
“… … Your Majesty. How about thinking about it this way?”
“how?”
“The temporary chief has left the Eastern Continent in ruins. Isn’t it a result of that that he has come to be called the temporary chief?”
Namgung Cheol-yeong nodded.
“In the end, he was ostracized from the Western Continent world. Reduce the crime rate to a decimal point? This is something that can never happen without the cooperation of the Heavenly City. In the end, he will be dismissed in one way or another. In other words.”
“in other words?”
“… … Wouldn’t it be right to see that he found his own way to live?”
“Is the way to survive by settling down on the Eastern Continent? By becoming the new leader of the Hoecheon Church?”
“… … Honestly, from his perspective, there would have been no method more certain than that. The reason is… … .”
“Because the world has already been touched.”
“That’s right. If that bastard hadn’t touched Cheonhasung, I wouldn’t have clashed with Raymond Beck, I wouldn’t have become the interim head, and now, I wouldn’t have become the head of the clan, and I wouldn’t be having this conversation with the great lord.”
It’s all true.
The two men were silent for a moment.
Melon was speaking now.
I’m a kid who goes this far, with no back or front, a madman who doesn’t just subdue the assassination organization, but also doesn’t hesitate to do crazy things like devour the organization, so if you don’t want to turn Cheonha Castle into a wasteland, cooperate with me.
“… … Really, he’s not an easy guy.”
I don’t know how far Melon had come in thinking about it, but Cheonha Castle wanted to maintain a good relationship with Melon and have Melon handle various affairs of Cheonha Castle.
Of course, the various things I’m talking about here are illegal.
It’s not like they’re killing anyone or anything. Those kinds of things are dealt with without a trace in the first place.
However, smuggling, which involves the exchange of goods and money, is a bit of a problem.
We need an inspector general to cover it up.
“Melon, ever since this kid came to the Eastern Continent, nothing has gone as planned.”
Akjeonggun said to Namgung Cheolyeong, who was mumbling like that.
“It might actually be a good opportunity.”
“Is this a good opportunity?”
“Yes. It is true that the interim headman swallowed up the Hoecheon Bridge, but he did not swallow it completely.”
Of course, the people of Cheonhasung do not know all the internal circumstances of the Hoecheon Church. However, anyone who is not an idiot cannot possibly guess the internal circumstances based on the current situation.
As I said before, from the head of the clan and above, the difference is not simply a matter of power level, but rather a matter of the amount of information they have and the level of thinking they can do.
It was not swallowed whole, the meaning of this was very simple.
“Are you in a factional fight? Are you dragging our world into that factional fight?”

“Yes. If the interim chief takes complete control of the Hoecheon Church, it could be a ‘weakness’ for him, but a ‘weapon’ for us.”
Now it’s getting a little interesting.
“It’s clear that he intends to carry out the ridiculous order to reduce the crime rate to a fraction of a percent. If so, it would be a good idea for us to help him gain complete control of the Hoecheon Church.”

“You get a knife more useful than Raymond Beck, and when it becomes useless, you can throw it to the Central Inspector General as food, that’s the story.”
“That’s right. However.”
“but?”
“In this case, the matter is so serious that we don’t think we can start working on our own. I think it would be better to report to the lord and try to persuade him.”
That’s true in the current situation.
However, Namgung Cheol-yeong decided to think a little differently.
If you can perfectly utilize the man named Melon, you can rise above the ranks of the clan leaders.
The position of interim head is the one that can completely erase Namgung Cheol-young’s flaws.
Yeah, that’ll do.
So, Namgung Cheol-yeong made a choice.
“Don’t tell the lord.”
“……yes?”
“I will take responsibility. I will give you one hour. Bring all the party leaders and patrolmen who follow me here.”
“Choo… … Choong-!”
The evil forces left the room, and Namgung Cheol-yeong, left alone, put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it.
… … Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
Was this what they were aiming for from the beginning?
Looking at the current situation, Melon can reorganize the Hoecheon Church with the power of Cheonha Seong without the power of the Hoecheon Church faction that follows him.
in other words.
This means that those who follow Melon in the Hoecheon Church have not been revealed to the world. Although Cheonha Seong is aware of the Hoecheon Church, he does not understand everything about the Hoecheon Church.
There is no list of unmanned members of the Hoecheon Church who hide their identities and gather information here in Cheonhaseong.
Before he could even breathe, Namgung Cheol-yeong furrowed his brow.
Without revealing the power of the Hoecheon Church to the world, he swallows up the remaining power of the Hoecheon Church with the power of Cheonhasung alone, and hides all those who follow him in the Hoecheon Church. They can become a sword aimed at Cheonhasung or a sword aimed at the Western Continent.
Isn’t this the perfect strategy to blow your nose without touching it? Nevertheless, from Namgung Cheol-young’s perspective, this was like a kind of rat poison that he couldn’t help but take.
indeed.
“Is this the woman who brought the Hoecheon Bridge to its current position?”
Yeongwol must have devised all these plans.
A ignorant and strong punk like Melon could never do something like this.
Yeongwol.
She is truly an amazing woman.
“… … This is something to pay attention to.”
* * *
Yeongwol, who had been doing nothing but raising his own value, was now working at the Inspectorate.
To be honest, Melon didn’t have much time to look after the work of the Inspector General.
I did wonder what kind of wasteful way to handle things was this, but there was no reason why it couldn’t be handled.

It’s not that difficult.
Above all, the most important position Melon has been given is the acting director of the Planning and Coordination Department.
This position is practically the core department of the Inspector General’s Office and determines the direction of the Inspector General’s Office.
Of course, you have to write up the documents, make plans, and get approval from Melon, the temporary director, but in fact, this is something that has always been done at Hoecheon Church. As I said before, it really wasn’t difficult.
Then Yeongwol paused for a moment on a part of the documents he was holding in his hand.
Before long, laughter breaks out.
I laughed because it was so ridiculous.
It was a budget issue, and the amount of money that the Western Continent provided in support was a whopping 500 million nyang.
But this 500 million nyang.
Something feels familiar.
“… … The entire budget was spent on consignment… … . Oh my… … .”
How on earth do I explain this?
Should I say it’s reckless? Yes, you could say it’s reckless.
To put it nicely, it’s a driving force, but if things had failed, what on earth were you going to do?
500 million nyang is not a small amount of money, but what is this… … .
I was a bit taken aback for a moment, but it was okay.
Because this can be refilled.
We need to organize and budget.
Yeongwol thought about it for a moment.
To be honest, the 500 million nyang given from the Western Continent was like empty money at the moment.
But, Yeongwol could be certain that it was only ‘now’.
Investigators will be dispatched to the Eastern Continent Inspectorate within exactly one year.
The purpose is to find fault with how this 500 million nyang was spent.
Yeongwol quietly closed his eyes.
This part is very different from that of Hoecheon Bridge.
Of all places, I have to convince the ‘Central Inspection Office’ of the Western Continent.
Yeongwol let out a deep sigh in that state.
“… …Why on earth are there so many enemies?”
No, it’s not like they’re supporting the staff or anything, just giving them money and a position and telling them to figure it out is something that only neighborhood punks would do.
And if you nitpick it and legally grind it down, Melon won’t be able to say anything.
This was a natural guess, since Melon intended to serve out his term as inspector.
Then, we need to prepare a creative accounting that will never be found fault with.
Two things came to Yeongwol’s mind.
First of all, there is no building. We need to build a building. And we need to pay salaries to those who will build the building.
Labor costs and construction costs.

The picture was roughly drawn. Yeongwol was sure that he could fool any person from the Central Inspection Office without any conditions.
Yeongwol immediately turned on the communication port. This is a special communication port that cannot be wiretapped.
A masked man appeared in the communications room.
He was a special assassin who protected the Rouge of Hwawolru, and his martial arts skills were of the highest level.
Yeongwol spoke to him, who was an intermediate master.
“It’s been a while, Captain.”
They were friendly and had an acquaintance. The man who was called the leader of Yeongwol asked.
“Are you okay?”
“Is that what you mean?”
“Yes. I heard that the headquarters of the Hoecheon Church was destroyed. And.”
“and?”
“Rumors are secretly spreading throughout Cheonha Castle that the remnants of the Hoecheon Sect are being suppressed.”
A soft smile appears on Yeongwol’s lips.
So far, things are going without any problems.
It was a smile of relief. The man called the leader also laughed at that smile. Although he couldn’t see it because of the mask, Yeongwol knew that he laughed.
Yeongwol said.
“It was all planned out. We need to get rid of those who side with the ‘Vice-Chief.’ Before that, could you please give my message to Rouge of Hwawolru?”
“Yes. Tell me anything.”
“Please tell them this. Gather about 100 ‘high-level personnel’ and send them to the temporary inspection office building on the Eastern Continent.”
“If it’s a high-level human resource, is it that high-level human resource?”
“Yes. That’s right, they’re high-level personnel. They have to come from all over the country, and they have to come disguised as construction workers.”
The high-level human resources mentioned here did not mean prostitutes or such.
This refers to experts in the field of organ diagnosis.
“Yes. I will convey that.”
“Thank you. And sooner or later, the wind of blood will blow, so take care of yourself. It will take some time to meet the new leader, so please tell Hwa-wol-ru-ju not to be too impatient.”
“Yes, Yeongwol. Don’t worry.”
The communication was cut off like that.
first.
I had to build a fortress.
The building where the leader of Cheonmasingyo and the person who will be worshipped by Yeongwol resides must not become a space where people of all kinds can come and go easily.
The accounting for the snacks is no problem, and the ingredients are no problem either.
Yeongwol quickly organized the documents and went outside.
There, hundreds of people were lined up.
They were all patrolmen and city officials.
“Have you made up your mind?”
Advertisements
Yong Seong-un nods.
“Okay, I’ll assign you all positions, so just gather around, patrolmen.”
Melon, who was staring blankly at the scene from the top floor of the temporary building, stared intently at Yeongwol, who was working hard with sweat dripping down his forehead.
Yeongwol, who had skillfully assigned each patrolman a different area, raised his head.
Melon and her eyes meet.
She said to Melon.
‘I will guide you to where the vice-principal is.’
Melon nodded.
Anyway, it seemed like I had acquired some decent luggage.
