Episode 498: Emergency meeting (5)
Dal-Su returned to his seat.
Looking at him with a blank face, the lawmakers, including Myeong-ho Myeong-ho, asked.
“What happened?”
“The white-robed wizard will help you?”
their questions.
I wanted to answer truthfully.
I tried to persuade the white-robed wizard, but it turned out that he was a completely different person from the apostle of justice we know. But I couldn’t.
The white-robed wizard warned Jo Dal-su. If his identity is discovered, he will make sure to get a reward for it.
‘That’s not a lie. Even if I were part of the central government, I wouldn’t be able to handle the white-robed wizard.’
Korea’s only S grade.
A pioneer who opened the era of hunters.
Even the central government could not treat the white-robed wizard carelessly.
In a relationship where both parties needed each other, when given a choice between the two, the central government was more likely to choose the white-robed wizard.
Think about it. A catastrophe is just around the corner.
I don’t know what monsters will appear in Korea, but I can’t deal with the white-clothed wizard, the leader of the Hundred Days and an S-rank hunter.
Even if that were possible, the scales with the white-robed wizard and the golden sphere on both sides would tilt towards the white-robed wizard.
It was devastating.
I got goosebumps.
Until now, it was believed that the white-robed wizard represented justice, but it was all just a lie.
‘The fact that he has hidden his identity for the past 20 years proves how detailed and deep-rooted he is. In the political world where I live, there are many people like the White Wizard. The moment you cross the line that those types of people have warned you not to cross, you will face malice that will use any means necessary. This is a losing business. Just because you want to deal with Roman Dmitri, you can’t turn the white-clothed wizard into an enemy.’
The judgment was quick.
Dal-Su is a politician.
The reason why an ordinary person, not even a hunter, was able to take the seat of Geumcheon-gu assemblyman was because he read the situation and made a quick decision.
The white-robed wizard was untouchable. Because he knew that, he didn’t hesitate to take off his mask when it was just the two of them.
Dal-Su said.
“… … It seems impossible to get help from the white-clothed wizard. In fact, it is also a valid argument. The rebellion of Roman Dmitry and the Incheon government is clear, but it is clear that they are also the forces that will fight the apocalypse when it strikes. As the saying goes, we should rather use Incheon’s power, and once the storm of the catastrophe passes, Incheon will face a miserable reality anyway.”
I took a step back.
No, I was pushed back one step.
As a procurement officer, there was no other option.
The emergency meeting that brought in lawmakers concluded that Incheon should be watched for the time being.
* * *
That evening.
Park Min-woo called the 100 Days of Wizards together.
In a situation where people who could be considered leaders were present, Park Min-woo made a shocking statement.
“From now on, Baekil will actively support the Incheon government and promote cooperative relationships with them.”
“… … “What is that?”
“Incheon. “Don’t they have a lot of problems?”
The leaders protested.
recent.
The reputation of the Incheon government was not good.
They took a line that was blatantly opposed to the central government, and there were many public comments that Incheon would be abandoned in a great disaster.
However, Baek Il, not other forces, will promote cooperative relations with the Incheon government.
If this choice causes a conflict with the central government, even Baekil will inevitably suffer from a catastrophe.
One leader said:
“Guild leader. Why do you want to establish a cooperative relationship with the Incheon government? They are a group that does not have common sense. Although he is a citizen of the Republic of Korea, he has escaped the confines of the central government and has announced that he will follow an unknown person named Roman Dmitry. It’s a clear rebellion. As with the Red Moon massacre, they are a threat to the safety of the Republic of Korea. Baekil is a group that practices justice and puts the defense of the Republic of Korea first, but it is completely incomprehensible for them to cooperate with forces like Incheon.”
100 days.
They were drawn to Park Min-woo’s sense of justice.
They would sacrifice their lives if Park Min-woo ordered them to do so, but the most important thing to them was the cause of pursuing justice.
It was an expected reaction.
But I couldn’t tell them the truth.
Park Min-woo knows what kind of image he has to the outside world, so he needed an answer that would not deviate from that image.
Minwoo Park said.
“I understand. To you, my meaning may be sudden. However, I think that the negative view toward Incheon is actually the central government’s dictatorial policy. What on earth did the Incheon government do wrong? They did nothing wrong. Although the Red Moon incident was clearly self-defense, the central government created a negative perception of them in the process of forcibly recruiting Roman Dmitry, an S-class hunter. Keep in mind. The world’s evaluation is not the truth. What we need to note is that Incheon was completely excluded from the country because it did not listen to the central government. There are citizens of the Republic of Korea who we must protect. Let me ask you. Is it right to abandon them? Just because the central government is strong, is it right to follow their opinions and reject Incheon? I just decided not to follow the trend. “In the coming catastrophe, I will stand on the side of the weak.”
It was sophistry.
As if for justice, Park Min-woo presented a plausible cause.
that word.
The leaders of Baekil couldn’t help but cry.
It would have been different if they knew about Alexandre’s existence, but in their eyes, Park Min-woo existed as a ‘white-robed wizard’.
Actions so far.
It added credibility to the statement.
At the words that they would stand on the side of the weak, the eyes of the leadership, who had been protesting until now, turned red.
“… … sorry. “My thoughts were short.”
“As always, I will follow the guild leader. 100 days, and me. “I will sacrifice my life for justice.”
The atmosphere was ripe.
Everyone became one.
Thinking that the game was settled, Park Min-woo called someone.
“Jang Yoon-tae.”

“yes.”
“From now on, you must visit Incheon as a representative of Baekil. And to Roman Dmitry, convey my will in secret.”
Among numerous characters.
There was a reason why Jang Yoon-tae was chosen.
If more than 90% of the 100 Days were ignorant people who cried out for justice, Jang Yoon-tae was truly a pragmatic person who saw Park Min-woo’s power and pledged loyalty.
A selfish person driven by profit.
So, because he is quick-witted and knows how to respond immediately with practical interests in mind, I deliberately appointed him as my agent.
of course.
It was best for me to step forward myself.
It’s a secret that can’t be told to people, but in fact, Park Min-woo didn’t have the confidence to face Roman Dmitry.
‘… … ‘That’s a little scary.’
The truth that people don’t know.
Jang Yun-tae shouted.
“All right! “I will clearly convey the guild leader’s wishes.”
he thought.
A proposal that the white-robed wizard made first.
This would be a really easy mission, not particularly difficult.
* * *
“… … yes?”
Jang Yoon-tae showed a bewildered expression.
The next day, he visited Incheon and, as prepared in advance, conveyed that Baekil wanted a cooperative relationship.
I didn’t even think about rejection.
Isn’t it natural?
There was no way Incheon could refuse Baekil.
however.
“Are you saying you won’t accept Baekil’s offer now?”
“Yes.”
Roman Dmitry was calm.
Even though Baek-il’s name was mentioned, he did not show any special feelings, such as hostility or favor.
Jang Yoon-tae reacted as if he couldn’t understand.
“No, are you really serious? It’s a hundred days. Baekil is considered the best group in Korea with its own independent power, excluding the central government. Baek Il extended his hand first and he rejected it. What on earth are you thinking? “If we use common sense and consider the safety of Incheon, there is no reason to reject this proposal.”
“If it’s common sense like you said, then yes. The problem is that Baekil’s proposal does not make common sense.”
100 days of suggestions.
It was attractive.
It was right to accept them for the safety of Incheon, but Roman Dmitry had clear boundaries.
“Incheon’s external evaluation is negative. Since the central government has taken the initiative to make it look that way, no one wants to be associated with Incheon. In the midst of all this, Baekil reached out to us. “What is the reason?”
“For the sake of justice… … .”
“That’s the problem. If you want to talk about justice, Incheon does not meet the criteria. Several issues claimed by the central government. I massacred Red Moon, and the direct commander of the Incheon government killed my opponent with my cruel hands during a promotion review. I’m not saying they are true. We have enough justification, but those who speak of justice do not consider reasons for murder. So your proposal is bound to be contradictory. If the actions of Baekil and the white-clothed wizard are to be followed, we are not a group that fits the definition of justice you speak of.”
Moorim.
Among the political factions, there were some who pursued justice.
That’s why I knew it.
If Baek-il truly pursued justice, he would not have done anything like secretly cooperating with Incheon.
A line was drawn.
There was no reason to accept 100 days.
Contrary to what Baekil thought, Roman Dmitry was not desperate for external power.
Jang Yun-tae’s face turned red.
I was angry.
I understand what it means, but I couldn’t accept the other person’s attitude.
“… … Are you saying you’re going to reject Baekil’s offer just with that intention? Ha, indeed. Do you know anything? The central government held an emergency meeting to punish Incheon, but the guild leader voted against it, saying that Incheon should also be protected because it is a citizen of the Republic of Korea. Incheon, and you. It means that you are safe thanks to the guild leader. I don’t think we yet know what kind of white-robed wizard is in Korea, but he is such a great person that he embraces the negative aspects related to Incheon even though he knows about it. “He is a just person who cannot be ignored because he is a minority!”
I got up from my seat.
Why are you angry?
It is not because of a sense of justice.
He didn’t like the fact that the power he followed was denied.
Negotiations broke down.
There was no reason to be here anymore.
“Don’t regret what happened today. Even if you contact me again later, there are no second chances.”
I took a step back.
I knew how to hold myself with an honest heart.
However, until he opened the door and went out, no sound was heard from behind him.
* * *
came out
I was very annoyed.
100 days.
Those who follow the white-robed wizards are almost religious.
Although I unconditionally praise Park Min-woo’s justice, Jang Yun-tae was fundamentally different from those people.
He lusted for power.
I was greedy for power.
So, since he followed the white-robed wizard, he couldn’t help but be dissatisfied with Incheon’s powerless attitude.
‘I am the guild leader’s representative. Therefore, rather than blindly persuading Roman Dmitry, you need to show an attitude appropriate to the situation. There is no reason for someone like a white-robed wizard to beg for money in Incheon. In any case, if a great disaster strikes and fire breaks out, only then will Incheon realize what a big mistake they have made and contact us.’
I made a wise decision.
Following orders unconditionally is something only stupid people do.
I learned that I had to act flexibly depending on the situation and the opponent in order to survive in a group called Baekil.
Perseverance is Jang Yun-tae’s weapon.
Therefore, I was confident that I had been chosen as an agent.
‘What on earth is Roman Dmitry thinking of being so bold? Tsk tsk, the people of Incheon are the only ones dying because of their stupid leader.’
I headed to the guild.
On the way, I briefly communicated the situation via text message.
Negotiations have broken down, and he will explain the situation accurately as soon as he gets back.
however.
Wooooow.
My cell phone rang.
It was Park Min-woo.
Jang Yun-tae, who was excited at the thought of receiving praise, answered the phone without hesitation.
Take off.
[So, what happened?]
Beyond the cell phone.
A cold voice was heard.
It was different from usual.
I instinctively knew it was strange, but I couldn’t even read the truth in the voice.
“As I said in the text, let’s break down negotiations first… … .”
[Give 10 minutes. Come right away.]
Tuk.
The phone call was cut off one-sidedly.
Jang Yoon-tae was momentarily embarrassed and looked at his cell phone with a dumbfounded expression.
“… … huh?”
Something was strange.
Even though it was cold, the reaction was too cold.
His instincts were warning him that trouble was brewing.
