Heavenly Demon’s Request (3)
First of all, the name of the head of calligraphy and painting was Gyu Taebo (奎太寶).
He was a man of great standing who entered the work of painting and painting at a young age and established a calligraphy and painting bureau as a self-made man. He has had a good reputation so far and has never caused any controversy.
On the other hand, Joo Yang, who became the leader this time, has already caused problems several times. Most of them were women’s issues, and there were also cases of mistakes caused by alcohol.
Such Jooyang has become the representative head this time.
While continuing to investigate the calligraphy and painting bureau, I found out that after Zhou Yang became the head of the bureau, there were personnel changes within the bureau and several people quit the bureau.
I went to see one of them. It was a man named Sogu (小龜) who worked as a messenger.
There was a reason why I chose this man.
He was unfairly kicked out because he followed Baek Seong-won the most.
“I came here because I wanted to ask you something about Baekpyo-doo.”
When I asked him about Baek Sung-won, he gave me a suspicious look.
“Why are you asking about what happened in the past?”
“I’ll be honest with you. I am a person who received a great favor from Baek Pyo-du a long time ago. “I would like to visit you this time and say hello, but I learned of the situation Eungong is in.”
“So what are you going to do?”
The man still did not let go of his guard and asked in a questioning manner.
“We have to find out first. Under what circumstances did Eungong experience this and why did this happen? “Wouldn’t it be up to me to decide what to do next?”
His attitude softened a little at my sharp words. I felt that I truly cared for Baek Sung-won.
“Eun-gong is not the kind of person who should suffer something like this.”
As I became indignant, Sogu sighed in unison.
“exactly. “You have truly earned the respect of many ambassadors here in the country.”
“I heard there was a rumor. “Juyang used a male and female to become the representative head.”
“Shh!”
Sogu was startled and looked around.
“Do you want to die?”
“Was it true?”
“It is true that there were such rumors. “If you say something like that in a situation where there is no evidence, you will lose your life.”
“Is there any way to find out? “I really want to make Eun-gong’s injustice clear.”
Sogu thought for a moment and then spoke softly.
“Go see the Lord.”
“Why are you asking me to go see him?”
“The state lord cared a lot about Baekpyodu. But I can’t understand this at all. “It is strange to have him compete with Joo Yang for the position of head coach, but it is even stranger to appoint him to the position of head coach even though there were rumors that Joo Yang was openly using a male and a female.”
As he said, it was definitely something to be suspicious about.
“If we find out why the Lord tolerates this incident, perhaps we can uncover the truth. Anyway, that’s all I can say.”
“Thank you.”
As I turned around and came out, he spoke worriedly behind me.
“Please keep your visit here a secret.”
I turned to him and reassured him by asking one question.
“Who are you?”
I started looking into Gyu Taebo in more detail.
Cheonma must have felt frustrated by this or that process and couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted.
[Just take that guy named Jooyang and beat him! If you step on it, you will confess!]
[Of course it is. But if you handle things like that, it may make it difficult for your son to return.]
[You should never go to a country like that again!]
[That’s our opinion.]
This was the place of work and life where Baek Seong-won lived his entire life.
If it is possible to return, we will need to provide a situation that will allow for that to happen as much as possible. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t like Baek Seong-won.
[Let’s meet Gukju first.]
If a person suddenly changes, there must be a reason.
* * *
On a dark night, I quietly sneaked into Gyu Tae-bo’s office.
When Gyu Tae-bo, who was sitting at his desk lost in thought, inadvertently looked up, I was sitting across from him.
Gyu Tae-bo, startled, jumped up and pulled out the sword lying next to him.
“Who are you?”
“I came here because I had something to quietly share. So there is no need to make a fuss.”
I treated him in a rather harsh tone. He didn’t come to ask him a favor, but to reveal the truth.
He pointed his sword at my face. Considering the prowess of the blade, it was a sword that could be called a treasured sword.
“If you want to talk, come visit me formally on a bright day. If you don’t leave right away… … .”
Then I grabbed the blade of his sword with my bare hands.
Wow.
In an instant, the sword was bent. The part I held in my hand was dented, as if I had crumpled a piece of paper. The tip of the curved blade was pointed at his face.
Gyu Tae-bo looked at the sword with a mesmerized face. This was probably the first time he had encountered such inaction in his life.
I looked at him and said coldly.
“A sword that remains silent even when it sees injustice would be of no use.”
For a moment his face trembled.
“Please sit down.”
He sat back down with a complicated expression on his face.
“What does it mean?”

“Don’t you already know what it means?”
“Who are you?”
“I don’t think that’s important.”
Gyu Tae-bo’s eyes turned to his crumpled sword on the desk.
“It’s important. “Who are you?”
Then the Heavenly Demon spoke.
[Kill this bastard too!]
[then no. Man, this is a world of political factions. Your son is also living in that world.]
[Are you a political faction? Are you sure?]
[Let’s check from now on.]
I said while staring at Gyu Tae-bo.
“Why did you put Zhou Yang in the position of leader? “You’re not that kind of person, are you?”
He was agitated by the question as if he knew everything.
He was in a state of great psychological decline. The move of bending the sword earlier was having a big impact.
Now was the opportunity. I pushed him hard.
“Why did you try to poison Baek Seong-won?”
“Poisoning? No! “I didn’t do it.”
“Then who is it?”
His eyes trembled. I could tell. He was feeling guilty the whole time. It was this feeling of guilt that was causing me so much trouble earlier.
He said with a long sigh.
“It’s Miss Joo.”
“Even though you knew that, you put him in the position of CEO.”
“That’s right. Even though I knew that Zhou Yang used poison, I tolerated it.”
“What is the reason?”
He lifted his lowered head and looked at me.
I hesitated to answer.
I said, getting up from my seat.
“Okay. “I’ll take care of the investigation.”
At that time, Gyu Tae-bo shouted and said.
“He poisoned my granddaughter.”
I wasn’t surprised. I thought there must be a good reason for that, and it was mostly because of this reason.
At times like this, my blood actually gets colder and I feel more calm. When dealing with non-human beings, heating the blood is a waste of mental energy.
“I’m sorry. “I’m so sorry.”
He bowed his head.
“How long has Miss Zhou been here? “I think he would have been around for quite some time if he had been a representative candidate.”
“It’s been over twenty years.”
One question that suddenly comes to mind.
After working for 20 years, he poisoned Pyo Guk-ju’s granddaughter and became the head of the company? It wasn’t even aimed at becoming Pyo Guk-ju. I thought something was strange.
“What happened to your granddaughter?”
“I’m getting my contract canceled by him every month. They say that if you don’t take the medicine, you will die from the terrible pain of your blood vessels in your limbs being twisted. “I can’t let that little thing die like that.”
“So, Baek Pyo-du, who devoted his entire life, is left to die like this?”
“Keuuuuuu. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
Gyu Tae-bo beat his head in pain. Tears flowed from his eyes.
Good and evil seem to be as far away as heaven and earth, but sometimes they are so close that you can reach out and grab them. Good can become evil at any time.
The same goes for life-changing decisions. In one moment, with just one decision, everything changes.
Of course, I understood Gyu Tae-bo. How could she make a rational decision when her young granddaughter was poisoned to death?
That’s why I didn’t pity him or hate him.
“Your granddaughter will survive.”
He looked at me. He might trust me, or he might betray me and get to him.
“I hope you make a good choice this time.”

I was standing on the wall overlooking Joo Yang’s office window.
Through the window, I could see Joo Yang talking to someone. The other person was the same man who first opened the door when I found Pyo Guk. He even visited Cheonma’s son to check his movements, and it turned out that he was indeed Jooyang’s minion.
[Why don’t you go and kill him right away? Go take the contract and kill it!]
The Heavenly Demon was enraged the whole time. Since his son and grandson were also involved, he could not face the incident calmly.
[It will happen.]
[please! Don’t just talk!]
[Isn’t it strange? He looks so fine, but why did he suddenly become crazy?]
[What other reason could there be? The CEO is greedy for the position.]
[Is that really the case?]
[so? What should we do?]
[Hey, Cheon Gwang. This work is very important to me. It’s your son’s business, right?]
For a moment, I felt the Heavenly Demon startled.
The Heavenly Demon took a step back.
[When you kill that guy later, kill him in the most painful and cruel way.]
[of course. He is a man who deserves even a painful death.]
It was then. The man who was with Joo Yang came out of the building and left the office.
I kicked off the wall and flew into the sky.
I followed him in a demonic flight from a high place in the distance. It was night and it was so far away that I couldn’t see myself clearly even if I looked up from below. Now, tailing has become very convenient.
The place he was heading to was a nearby shopping street.
* * *
The man walked quickly.
It was late, all the stores on the street were closed, and there was not a single passerby.
The place he arrived at was a butcher shop selling meat.
The man went around the closed butcher building and entered through a small side door at the back.
I passed through the messy backyard and entered the building.
Beyond the stretched lines of the warehouse room, I could see the back of a large man drinking. Traces of slaughter were visible here and there.
The man did not dare to go inside, but bowed politely outside.
A man’s voice came from inside.
“I’m bored to death.”
“You have to be patient.”
“Are you saying this because I don’t know?”
“sorry.”
“no. It’s not something for me to lose my temper with you. Understand, I’m a bit sensitive these days.”
“I understand. Shall I come visit you every day starting tomorrow?”
“Are you saying you know that you’re a boring guy?”
“Is that so?”
“That’s it. Take care of your business. “I heard a new guy has appeared?”
“yes. “It seems like the guy who came looking for Pyo Guk also went to Baek Seong-won’s house.”
“who?”
“It was my first time seeing it.”
“It’s a coincidence. “It’s at a time like this that an unidentified person appears.”
“I don’t think you need to worry that much. From my perspective, his martial arts skills didn’t seem that outstanding.”
“If only you saw it that way.”
“On the contrary, there are some positive aspects. “I’ll have to use him to finish the job sooner.”
“how?”
“The original plan was like this. Baek Seong-won, who was pushed out of the position of head of the government, takes revenge and mobilizes assassins to exterminate the Pyo Guk-ju family. And it ends with suicide!”
“Good.”
“We are framing his visit today as contact with Salsu.”
“You might be able to kill two birds with one stone.”
“That’s right.”
The man looked satisfied and nodded several times.
“What about Miss Zhou?”
“I’m taking good care of his weaknesses, so I’ll listen to him well for the time being. If we get rid of Han Il-il and replace him with someone from our side, the calligraphy and painting bureau will become completely ours. “Please leave the details to me.”
“Okay, that’s enough. So what about the new task?”
“A total of ten projects are being carried out simultaneously: two in Shaanxi, three in Henan, one in Hebei, three in Hubei, and one in Honam. “These are all big deals worth at least 50 million nyang.”
“It has to be done secretly. “You know what’s going on these days, right?”
“of course. “I understand that, in principle, if a bankruptcy is declared, all external activities must be halted.”
“okay. We’re breaking the rules now. If this becomes known, the Grand Master will issue a disapproving order. But do you know why I’m moving?”
“What is?”
“It’s because it’s the first bankruptcy declared in our time. So it’s difficult for anyone to have any other thoughts. Because I have no experience with anything like this. In the end, everyone is following orders and sticking to their principles. “The opportunity is now.”
It was a statement full of confidence that I was different.
The door opened and a man came out. He was full-bodied and had an appearance that suited the butcher shop here, and he was nothing short of dark.
The flustered expression he had when he was with the dark object was nowhere to be seen. It was his original ruthless and cold appearance.
“To make big money, you have to take big risks. So, when the opportunity comes, take it all in stride!”
martial arts,
