Episode 485: Trouble (2)
It was a perplexing answer.
To be precise, it was something Incheon should not have said.
Taejun Moon said coldly.
“I will give you just one opportunity to retract what I just said. “After that, the situation cannot be reversed.”
It was a warning.
Roman Dmitry may not know the situation in Korea because he is a foreigner, but Incheon Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk is different.
If you make an effort to pick up spilled water even now. Considering Roman Dmitry’s value, he had the mercy of giving him just one chance.
however.
Kim Jun-hyuk remained silent.
Taejun Moon laughed as if it was absurd in a situation where Roman Dmitry’s will was silently supported.
“This is a really interesting situation. Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk seems to have forgotten the tragedy six years ago.”
“… … “I just made a decision because I didn’t forget.”
“Do you really think that just one person can prevent an apocalypse? A great disaster is a time when monsters run rampant throughout the world. Unbeknownst to us, the crouching monsters simultaneously attack humans, like in this ant cave incident. Six years ago, Incheon was destroyed like that. The castle walls collapsed, and many people died as they were unable to stop the A-class monsters that entered inside. Even if Roman Dmitry is a great expert, it is impossible to block all monster attacks with only Incheon’s support. Of course, it will be different from the last great disaster. Just as we subdued the anthill, we will deal with the enemies that Incheon was unable to handle, but that will only be enough.”
He fired wildly.
Central government investigators.
Locally they called them devils.
They wielded enormous power because they existed to monitor the local areas on the backs of the central government and to tear off parts that could benefit the central government.
Taejun Moon worked as an investigator for over ten years.
He knew very well what meaning his words and warnings would have.
“Face reality. In Korea, there is only one S-rank hunter, a white-robed wizard, and there are less than 30 A-rank hunters. Why do they seem to be mostly active in Seoul? This is because we know that no matter how great a person you are, you cannot protect yourself when there is only one person. When monsters flood, dozens of A-rank monsters attack at the same time, and no matter how powerful you are, how can you stop them on your own? Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk’s will and Roman Dmitry’s remarks. “It means that we will break free of the barriers to survival in this Republic of Korea.”
Taejun Moon saw Roman Dmitry.
Reality was intensified.
Roman Dmitry showed us the reality of what decisions must be made in order to survive on this earth.
Roman Dmitry said.
“If the price of safety is unreasonable control, the Incheon government does not need help from the central government. Isn’t that actually a good thing? Take us as an example. “As they say so loudly, let’s see what kind of ending this Incheon government will face in the future, as it has not received any help from the central government.”
It was a provocation.
Moon Tae-jun’s eyes trembled at the remark that openly hurt his feelings.
Even though I clearly told the truth.
Roman Dmitry was arrogant.
“If you are confident about the future, all you have to do is take the Incheon government as an example.”
Pop.
I felt like my reason was being cut off.
The statement just now.
It’s beyond what I can tolerate.
No matter how desirable a talent he was, he could not be allowed to make remarks like Roman Dmitry.
Taejun Moon got up from his seat.
“I understand the intention of the Incheon government. Remember this day. When Incheon repeats that day six years ago, you will realize how wrong your choice to trust in one individual was. “By then it was already too late.”
I took a sharp step.
Moon Tae-jun, who was leaving, could not hide his angry expression until the moment he left.
* * *
bang!
The door was closed strongly.
As soon as I left the office, Taejun Moon called me.
Sweet.
[What happened?]
“The Incheon government has gone completely crazy. They have announced that they will follow Roman Dmitry and will take a separate path from the central government in the future. Rep. We need one punishment and one hundred precepts. No matter how great a person he is, if this kind of thing is allowed, an independent force like the White Wizard may arise.”
As Taejun Moon said.
The white-robed wizard was a special being.
It is true that S-class hunters are great, but even if they are a white-robed wizard, it is impossible to survive the apocalypse alone.
So he established a symbiotic relationship with the central government.
However, because of the symbolism of being the first S-class hunter and allowing a lot of freedom, the white-clothed wizard is now evaluated as being beyond the control of the central government.
What happened at that time.
It was a neglect of the central government.
While holding the Republic of Korea in his hands, some lawmakers were quite dissatisfied with the white-robed wizard who was like a thorn in their eyes.
Beyond the phone.
A person called a congressman spoke.
[okay. As you said, there is no reason to be swayed by one individual in a situation where having power is absolute. Definitely take Roman Dmitry as an example. I wonder what kind of future awaits those who think nonsense so that they can never again overstep the authority of the central government in this land of Korea.]
“All right.”
Taejun Moon’s eyes turned fierce.
A picture of the future was already drawn in his mind.
“There is no need to wait for the apocalypse to strike. Please wait one month. “Within that, we will take the breath away from Incheon.”
* * *
The place where Taejun Moon left.
Kim Jun-hyuk showed a complicated expression.
Although Roman Dmitry’s remarks were weighty, there was no confidence that his choice was right.
“Are you worried about the future?”
A calm voice.

Kim Jun-hyuk did not hide his true feelings.
“… … yes. The central government is everything in South Korea. Most of the capable people in this small land mass belong to the central government, and I am not sure if it is right to pretend to be with them. If a reality comes that Incheon cannot handle. “There may come a day when we regret the current situation in which we have defeated the enemy.”
It was an understandable statement.
but.
As Roman Dmitry learned about the world, the first thing he decided to do was abandon the central government.
Roman Dmitry said.
“The Republic of Korea’s system is truly deformed. The central government prioritizes the safety of Seoul, the capital, and exercises enormous power over the remaining land mass, which is dozens of times larger than Seoul, which is a ‘part’ that is nothing compared to what Seoul occupies. Incheon and the local government. Only by breaking away from that part can we regain true peace. “If you cling to the central government in situations that are not always the top priority, a system that is not independent will inevitably be swayed by the choices of third parties.”
if.
If the central government could make rational choices or, even if irrational, guarantee people’s safety.
Roman Dmitry might have thought of a different path.
But the reality was not like that.
Just looking at Taejun Moon’s remarks, it was like that.
In the process of persuading Kim Jun-hyuk, Moon Tae-jun said that he would not treat the Incheon government well, but that he would exclude him from the order of assistance after securing the safety of Seoul.
Even if it is a top priority, it means that it is different from Seoul.
In an already ordered system, there was no reason to follow them.
Incheon.
This was used as a starting point.
In the process of creating a new Dmitry in the future, Roman Dmitry did not allow an unreasonable system.
“If you do not have the strength, it is right to endure even if it is unreasonable. However, because of my presence, Incheon will not need the power of the central government in the future.”
Kim Jun-hyuk swallowed dry saliva.
It was arrogant.
Roman Dmitry made an absurd statement that made Moon Tae-jun angry, but I wanted to blindly believe his words that he would put Incheon first.
Because it is clear that a better future will not exist if it can only be realized. Kim Jun-hyuk once again reflected on his intention to follow Roman Dmitry.
“… … All right. We will do our best to serve you in the future.”
Kim Junhyuk bows his head.
He was an unusual person.
Although he was just an ordinary person, he lived an unusual life.
In the process of creating a new Incheon in the future, Kim Jun-hyuk and his people were necessary.
Roman Dmitry said.
“Call your direct command. “In order to establish a minimum foundation, we will raise the level of our direct units from now on.”
As always.
The beginning of a relationship is first about building trust.

Several days passed.
Meanwhile, whenever people gathered in small groups, they talked loudly about a rumor originating from Seoul.
“Is that true?”
“Do I look like someone who would talk nonsense? There’s an uproar in the central government now because of that. “The central government tried to legally punish Roman Dmitry for the Red Moon destruction incident, but the Incheon government drew a line with the central government and said that it would not follow its control in the future.”
“The mayor of Incheon is completely crazy. Not following the central government’s control means not receiving help in an emergency. What kind of confidence is this? “If we see omens occurring in countries around the world, it means that a great disaster is imminent, but is it really possible that Incheon’s troops are going to handle the great disaster with only its troops?”
“Incheon is over too. There was once a saying that Kim Jun-hyuk was the future of Incheon, but what could a mere ordinary person do? “It’s clear that he was so absorbed in the power play that he couldn’t face reality.”
Separation from central government.
No one took it as good news.
Knowing that the national power of the Republic of Korea was concentrated in Seoul, people immediately grasped its essence.
Moreover, it seems as if it lives up to the rumors.
The central government sent an official letter to guilds in Incheon.
[…] … For this reason, the central government will not support Incheon in the future. The same goes for guilds belonging to Incheon. In the case of guilds cooperating with the Incheon government, the central government will not receive separate requests in the future, and even if a catastrophe breaks out, they will not be able to receive help from the central government.]
The rumor became confirmed.
Since this was to prove that the central government had abandoned Incheon, Incheon’s guilds had no choice but to put fire to their feet.
You may suffer losses simply because you are related to the Incheon government.
Some guilds looked into relocating to other regions, and other regions also welcomed the guilds’ entry with open arms.
Liquidation of the mercenary guild.
Their situation was the same.
Gu Cheol-ho, a C-rank mercenary and leader of Cheongsan, spoke to the leaders with a very worried face.
“Why on earth did Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk do that? “He wouldn’t be that stupid.”
“Guild leader. Incheon is now a shipwreck. If you hold on to the end to protect your base in Incheon, the company that deals with mercenaries will be ruined in an instant. Isn’t there already a widespread opinion in the mercenary industry not to accept requests from Incheon guilds? “There is no reason for us to be caught up in a single decision made by the mayor of Incheon.”
“Let’s move the guild immediately. “If the scale of the liquidation is high, it is clear that local governments will welcome it with open arms.”
Gu Cheol-ho frowned.
He knew it too.
The fact that I have to leave Incheon.
However, the foundation he worked so hard to build was a waste, and above all, he had a lot of trust in a man named Kim Jun-hyuk.
That’s probably the case for most people who settled in Incheon.
People who stayed here for a year or two will be blown away by outside influence, but those who experienced the tragedy six years ago knew the value of Kim Jun-hyuk.
he is.
He is an upright person.
He is a wise person.
He was never reckless enough to do things without thinking.
‘If you only trusted Roman Dmitry to do the job, the mayor’s choice was wrong this time.’
After much thought.
Koo Cheol-ho came to a conclusion.
Like other guilds that were already packing up, it seemed like he would have to move to an area that would accept liquidation on good terms.
Even though it is a job that makes money by using chaos. Still, they are people who hope to survive in this chaotic world. Day
If there was even a possibility, I would have tried to remain in Incheon, but I thought that the central government’s choice meant a hopeless future for Incheon.
It was then.
As I was about to say my decision, Park Ki-tae, who had been looking serious on one side of the conference room earlier, opened his mouth.
“Can’t we stay in Incheon?”
“What are you talking about?”
Park Ki-tae does not belong to Cheongsan.
However, I decided to follow Koo Cheol-ho, and thanks to that, I was able to be here.
People’s suspicious gaze.
Park Ki-tae met that gaze and said.
“I’m worried. Why would a smart person like Mayor Kim Jun-hyuk make such a choice? Roman Dmitry. There is only one reason. And as the only one among them who has experienced Roman Dmitry first-hand, I feel that I should not leave Incheon.”
It’s not something you say without thinking.
last few days.
Park Ki-tae had a reason for coming to this ridiculous conclusion.
