Episode 427

“Huh.”

“That’s amazing.”

The members of Cheonan Gambu, who entered the new base, let out exclamations of exclamation.

A huge pavilion that can accommodate up to three digits of people.

The interior of the building was divided into sections, giving it a practical feel.

Sima Yun led the members and explained each section.

“This is a place that will be used by the administrative unit. “Due to the nature of our work, we will need to bring in a lot of furniture, so we allocated the largest space possible.”

“Thank you for your consideration. Sima Xiaoxiao.”

A soft smile appeared on Yu So-hwa’s tired face.

Relocation of work location following large-scale personnel expansion.

Finally, a sunny day has arrived for the employees who carry out paperwork.

“Be careful. “If you touch that wall incorrectly, the formation might work.”

“……yes?”

Yu So-hwa, who had been looking around carefully with sparkling eyes, suddenly stopped.

When she looked back, her expression hardened.

At first I thought it was a joke.

But looking at Sima Yun’s face, I thought that wasn’t the case.

“Are you saying that there is a defense system installed inside this space?”

“That’s right.”

“I wonder if the defense against intruders is excessive, as traps are laid not only on the outside of the building but also on the inside…”

I wanted to raise my voice and argue.

Even so, what if we make it impossible to move around comfortably indoors?

If an accident occurs due to carelessness, will you be held responsible?

However, Simaun’s answer was decisive.

“We must have this level of defense.”

“…….”

“Didn’t our manager have a serious accident not long ago? There are too many enemies around Cheonan Gambu. In fact, I feel like this alone might not be enough.”

Yu So-hwa’s mouth was tightly shut.

I had nothing to say in response.

The ripple effect caused by the unstoppable actions of a boss with unconventional tendencies was currently shaking the entire Murim Alliance.

We had to make every possible preparation to avoid being blown away by the storm.

“The best thing is not to disturb the trap, even by mistake, but safety devices should be in place to prepare for possible accidents.”

“…….”

“I will teach you how to replace a way out when you are trapped in a camp. Everyone here must be fully aware of this.”

Yeong Jin-hwan, a thin man who was watching the conversation between Yu So-hwa and Sima-un, sighed deeply.

What kind of job doesn’t allow you to relax during work?

‘Of course it is.’

I thought things were finally getting a little easier, but now I have to study Jin method, which is not even in the Eight Characters.

Suddenly I missed the past.

Those were the days when I worked as a corrupt leader in the Sacheon branch and although my profits were small, my heart was rich.

‘It’s my arm.’

I felt my own situation was miserable.

Perhaps the current situation had already been predicted when Yeonsun picked him up and brought him to the headquarters.

There was a time when I felt grateful to him.

How thankful did he feel when he saw Yeon-woon, who had defeated the Kunlun sect’s Taoists on his behalf?

However, after moving to the headquarters, I was overworked every day, and that feeling disappeared like melting snow and disappeared.

‘Why did you choose me and not anyone else?’

It was a time when he was spitting out curses mixed with resentment in his heart.

Simaun’s powerful voice penetrated the ears of the middle school students.

“Oh, and the manager told me to tell you this.”

“……?”

“They said they would give me a raise. It has the meaning of hazard pay and also means praising you for your hard work. “He asked if it would be okay if the new members coming in soon and the existing members were treated the same.”

“…!”

Young Jinhwan cheered in his heart.

Long live Yeon-Woon!

Long live Cheonan Gambu!

Respected manager, I did not have any blasphemous thoughts!

I will remain loyal in the future!

Whilick! Swish!

A long line stretched down the high castle walls.

Men wearing black night clothes and masks began climbing the wall as if they had been waiting.

Everyone was capable of climbing onto the castle wall with just a few leaps, but in order to avoid activating the machinery, it was necessary to stick to the wall and step on a designated area.

The man who reached the castle wall first sent a message to the Murim leader standing next to the bonfire.

-What about border personnel?

-does not exist. Because we are the only ones here on watch during this time.

-Are the original Murim Alliance’s security forces this lax? I was so nervous, but I was feeling discouraged.

-It’s not sloppy. It feels that way because we responded internally.

-Even taking that into account, I think it’s true that there are only a few people watching.

-It has to be that way. Because Honam is not adjacent to the front line. Currently, most of the main force of the Murim Alliance is dispatched to Hebei and Sacheon.

-Things might turn out easier than you think.

-It would be better not to let down your guard. This is the headquarters of the Murim Alliance. The inside is full of monsters. It’s literally Yongdamhohyeol (龙潭虎穴).

-I’ll keep that in mind.

The masked man nodded and jumped down the castle wall.

Dozens of people followed suit.

– Spread out.

When the man in front gave an order in a telephonic tone, the adjutant who followed immediately sent a hand signal to his subordinates.

As soon as they reached the primary target, the masked people began to disperse and move in all directions.

Let’s go!

A night where the moon is obscured by clouds.

Black figures began to roam throughout the Murim Alliance.

* * *

‘Is it time to move on?’

I was lost in thought as I looked out the window without any moonlight shining through.

It was a naughty night.

It occurred to me that there was no better environment for the ganja within the group to move around.

‘All preparations have been completed. Now all you have to do is wait for the results.

After the inspection, Dok Go-seong and Byeok Ri-so worked diligently to contact and visit the applicants, and the outline of the infiltrators was roughly revealed.

It became clear that Namgung Choun was an infiltrator, and there were about four other suspects.

‘First of all, it is certain that the White-faced Reaper did not hide in the Murim Alliance. From the beginning, I thought it was unlikely, but….’

How were you able to determine the existence of the White Faced Reaper?

It was simple.

Two days ago, a letter sent from the Hebei Paeng family reached the Murim League.

The existence of the Baek-faced Envoy was confirmed in Baoding, Hebei Province.

Baoding is a region located in the central part of Hebei Province.

It seemed that the entire Hebei region was shaken by the white-faced envoy who suddenly appeared in the middle of Baekdo’s territory.

They tried to catch him by launching a campaign led by the sword king and the teacher, but it seemed like they ended up missing him.

‘The date Jeon Seo-gu arrived at the Murim Alliance was two days ago. Considering the timing, it is physically impossible for the White Faced Reaper to be in Honam.’

At least there was no need to worry about the White-Faced Reaper attacking.

Thanks to that, I was able to make a clear decision.

How to deal with the infiltrators.

‘I am not stepping forward.’

I planned to leave this matter entirely to the members.

Of course, things would be easier if I took the initiative myself.

However, the activities of the members could not help but appear reduced.

Currently, Cheonan Gambu’s reputation has skyrocketed, but the name value of each member has not.

This was because my reputation as the head of the organization was so great that the presence of others was drowned out.

Dang Seoyeon, Bangcheoksam, Yeo So-ok, Seo Ho-seon, Cheon-woo, Chang-in, Hwang Ho-jin, Hwa-daerang, etc.

They were all talented people who could not be ignored.

I actually chose a major that matched my skills several times.

However, whether they received an evaluation commensurate with their skills and major was not the case.

In the case of Sima Yun, however, he became famous as his record of putting the ironclad giant into a corner became known to the world.

This is what came to mind when I saw him like that.

‘In the meantime, I may have been depriving members of the team of opportunities to stand out.’

So far, I have solved most of the problems on my own.

But it couldn’t be like that in the future.

The size of the department will grow to an extent that cannot be compared to before.

I had to study how to manage my members efficiently.

This could be said to be the first step.

‘I don’t think the rest of the members, except for Hwang Bo-jin, are concerned about fame or anything like that.’

In fact, the world’s evaluation itself was not that important.

What was important was how the new members, who would soon be officially assigned to each group, viewed the existing members.

Among the new martial artists who would join the ranks, there were many prominent ones.

What more can I say since they are the elite selected from among numerous applicants?

‘At least they should not ignore their seniors.’

To put it bluntly, they were people who flocked to see an individual named me, not an organization called Cheonan Gambu.

So there was a need to spread their gaze.

We had to give existing members a chance to stand out by creating a stage for them to play.

‘Maybe the infiltrators didn’t go into hiding with a long-term vision from the beginning.’

Because it was known that the Sword King had been stabbed in the back by the disciples of the Baek-faced Reaper, the entire Baekdo Martial Forest was currently on high alert.

In particular, the Daemun Sect and the large corporations were keeping their eyes on as they were on the lookout for infiltrators who might be hiding.

There was no need to mention the Murim Alliance.

There was also a reason why I sought to expand the size of the department during this period.

It was decided that there was no better time than now to filter out ganja that might be hiding.

‘They probably knew it too. If you infiltrate Cheonan Inspector General during this period, you will inevitably get caught.’

The current situation was such that newly infiltrated personnel were bound to be subject to intensive surveillance and suspicion, even if they were previously hidden criminals.

Nevertheless, if they were trying to infiltrate, their intention was obvious.

‘Achieve your goal before your identity is completely revealed.’

Simaun said that the infiltrators would target him first.

I also agreed with that thought.

Of course, the zero-priority target would be me, but without the White Faced Reaper, it was close to impossible for the infiltrators to kill me.

It is said that the King of Swords was caught off guard by the disciples of the Hundred-Faced Reaper, but that was ultimately the result of many factors overlapping.

At that time, the Sword King was very tired and his attention was distracted by the appearance of the Demon Cultist.

On the other hand, I am on full alert against infiltrators.

So, realistically speaking, it was correct that the target that the assassins would target first was Simaun.

However, we had to keep in mind that there were people other than him who could be targets.

For example, Seonhye Dojo.

If the goal was to kidnap or harm Sima Yun, there was no need to target the target directly.

If you hold a knife to your fiancé’s neck and threaten him, wouldn’t things get easier?

‘In fact, the moment when ambushers become most fearful is when they think of the next best solution and take it.’

So, the members were distributed and deployed.

To be able to respond flexibly to the situation.

‘Tomorrow morning, the entire Murim Alliance will be turned upside down.’
