Chapter 42

Episode 42.Loopholes in discipline (2)

After entering the head office, Yeonwi immediately started working.

But the documents were not in sight. This is because what my son said a moment ago was not forgotten in my mind.

‘Even though the meaning is different, my heart will always be here.’

Yeonwi’s eyes deepened.

The difference in meaning truly meant that the son’s eyes were on the world.

‘It’s really difficult, ma’am.’

I thought of my wife who died shortly after giving birth to Jipyeong.

‘I wanted to raise my two sons well so that they would not be embarrassed by you who left before me. He treated his children harshly under the pretext of being the head of a family.’ Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yeonwi remembered it vividly. A picture of himself yelling at Yeon Ho-jeong when he was young.

If you think about it, Yeon Ho-jeong was only six years old at the time. At an age when he could laugh at butterflies in spring, he spent every day with his father’s scolding and training.

At that time, Yeonwi realized something. As he watched his eldest son grow thinner day by day, he realized that there was a problem with his ways.

So, when teaching my second child, I never pushed him hard. Although she was afraid of herself because she did not speak much, Yeon Ji-pyeong grew up well and kindly.

But Yeonhojeong was different.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was jealous of her second son’s talent, had gone astray before she knew it. I put aside my martial arts training and started running on base.

Yeonwi could not bear to reprimand his son like that. It was because he was the one who raised his son that way. He, who should have taught his son that martial arts is not everything, ended up narrowing his son’s eyes.

As time passed, Yeonwi realized another thing.

I should have caught it right when it started to go astray. In other words, he reprimanded the person when he should have comforted him and ignored him when he should have helped him.

I am a failure.

Yeonwi truly thought so. So, I was always reluctant to see my first child.

‘But ma’am. That kind of friendliness is now growing into a manly man. I grew this far alone without anyone’s help.’

When her son changed, Yeonwi couldn’t help but feel joy. Even though he had not done anything, his son seemed to have suddenly realized something.

Although it was a bit extreme, I lived each day with excitement at my son’s wonderful growth.

However, the son, who has grown up so well, has no intention of becoming the owner of Yeonga.

‘Now that I think about it, I think it’s worth it.’

Yeonwi was bitter.

‘Who will you blame? It’s all my fault. If I had shown Hojeong a responsible attitude, Hojeong wouldn’t have gone out.’

It has already passed. Yeonwi knew that he could not change his son’s mind.

Yeonwi looked at the window.

I saw my son’s back heading towards his residence. It looked truly majestic.

“…Well, I’m glad to hear that your heart is still here.”

That’s enough. I thought Yeonwi should be thankful for just that, even though he grew up under an ugly father, his heart was still in his family.

How long have you been staring out the window like that?

“Matriarch. “This is the commander-in-chief.”

“Please come in.”

The door opened and Taekyung came in.

“Oh my, it’s still cold.”

“I see.”

“How did you end your meeting with the Archduke?”

Yeonwi didn’t say anything.

Feeling embarrassed for no reason, Taekyung took out the letter from his arms.

“I brought here what you mentioned earlier.”

“Give it to me.”

Yeonwi’s eyes deepened as she opened the letter.

“You are truly persistent.”

“Has the Moyong family not given up yet?”

Yeonwi looked at Taekyung.

Taekyung was certainly quick-witted. Although he was a bit frivolous, he was not lacking in the wisdom and speed with which he often got things done as the head of the Yeonga family.

Yeonwi asked as a sudden thought occurred to him.

“What do you think?”

“Is this what Mo Yong-se said?”

“That’s right.”

It wasn’t common for the head of the family to be asked what one thought about such a big task.

Taekyung responded immediately.

“I think it would be nice to hold hands.”

“The reason is?”

“The Moyong family, along with the main family, is considered one of the seven major families. “If we join hands with such a family and expand our business, we will be able to accumulate more wealth.”

“….”

“Of course, I know that the head of the family is not very interested in wealth. “You spend thousands of dollars every year on behalf of those who suffer flood damage, right?”

“If we accumulate more wealth, can we save more people’s lives?”

“That’s right. “Money is essential to living in this world.”

Tae-kyung’s words also had a point.

Yeonwi was worried. The son’s work was the son’s work, and business was business. It wasn’t a bad idea to join hands with Moyongga if we could contribute more to the safety of people’s lives.

but.

“Are you saying this because there is a possibility that the Moyongs may have different feelings?”

“The Seven Great Families are different from the Nine Files. Although they walk the right path, they try to solidify their position as a powerful family. “Most of them are desperate to increase their power.”

“hmm.”

Taekyung thought for a moment and clapped his hands.

“ah! “Then how about this method?”

“…?”

“Have you heard about the daughter of the current family head? “They say he is not only martial arts, but also intelligent and has a very good personality.”

“A child named Moyong Yeonhwa?”

“Did you know?”

Of course I know the names of the children of the same Seven Great Families.

“But why that child?”

“How about marrying the daughter of the Mo Yong family, Grand Duke?”

Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.

“Marriage?”

“That’s right. In fact, it may seem a bit excessive to pursue a marriage just for the sake of a business, but no one knows what the future holds. “If the two families move forward together through this project, wouldn’t it be of greater help to the people’s livelihood in the future?”

Yeonwi shook his head.

“It’s a matter of humanity. “I have no intention of getting married over something like this.”

It was common to arrange marriages for cooperation between families. However, Yeonwi had no intention of doing so.

“But it may also be a good thing for the matriarch.”

“To Hojeong?”

“yes. The Archduke has changed a lot in recent years. But when the head of the family passes the family line on to the grand duke, wouldn’t you need someone by your side to help you?”

“….”

“If you are a wealthy daughter of the Moyong family, you will be able to be of great help.”

Taekyung doesn’t know. That Yeon Ho-jeong is not interested in the position of head of the family.

Yeonwi, who was about to shake her head, suddenly remembered Yeonhojeong.

‘…Have you set your sights on the world?’

The change in Yeonhojeong was rapid.

Of course, I didn’t think that Yeonhojeong would ever change like before. Still, Yeon Ho-jeong was nineteen. They are still at an age where it is difficult to know about the world.

I don’t know what my son’s dream is, but it’s definitely not a bad thing to have someone by his side to provide strong support.

Yeonwi, who was thinking deeply, nodded.

“Let’s think about it.”

“Speaking of which, the sooner the better.”

“I know what you mean.”

Taekyung lowered his head.

“sorry. “I was presumptuous for no reason, right?”

“It was I who asked. “It’s okay.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Let’s go now.”

“Yes, then.”

After Tae-kyung left, Yeon-wi was troubled.

“Marriage?”

* * *

Yeon Ho-jeong came into the living room and laid down on the bed.

“Sogaju?”

I had no idea that my father had any intention of appointing me as head of Soga.

Yeon Ho-jeong burst into laughter without realizing it.

‘I don’t even know what people’s business is like.’

To be honest, I didn’t want to become the head of a small household even in my previous life. However, when he heard that his younger brother was being appointed as the head of Soga instead of him, his inferiority complex exploded.

It was different now.

He knew his limitations. It was possible to unite a rough gang of black swordsmen and turn them into elites, but leading a family of white swords was impossible.

Of course, I thought he would entrust the position of head of the small family to his younger brother. I thought so even more because my changed appearance was so rough.

‘I wanted to test your capabilities as the head of the family, but as the father, you are frustrated when you find out that your will is not tied to the family.’

Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.

‘sorry.’

My father seemed to think this way. Even though it is radical, he will always walk the same path as himself. It is said that blood cannot be deceived.

But it was wrong.

Although he is his father’s bloodline, he has lived a hellish life that has even cut off his bloodline.

It was unfortunate for everyone that he became the owner of Yeonga.

‘And I have work to do.’

The evil beast that wiped out the family.

The task at hand was too big and daunting. Just recognizing it and preparing for it was enough to split my head.

Is that it?

‘The spread of the three religions must also be prevented.’

I realized something big while participating in the Review Index meeting.

The world now does not flow like past history. The reason is because he is moving differently than in the past.

The same goes for the three religions. They may appear later or sooner than expected.

No, we couldn’t ignore the possibility that it may have already permeated the midfield.

‘The three religions, especially the evil religion, do not compromise. That blind hatred was almost comparable to faith. To stop those guys, everyone, both black and white, must work together.’

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was deep in thought, scratched his head.

When I tried to think about the future for the first time in a while, I felt like my head was cramping. Of course, I made my own plan.

‘When Hugai comes after 15 days, it starts from then. Until then, let’s just focus on myself as much as possible.’

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.

I really felt like I needed to rest today.

The next morning.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who came out to the grand banquet hall, saw a strange sight.

“Is training like a joke?”

“no!”

“But why don’t you listen?”

“sorry!”

“I said it clearly. “Everything from meals to rest was thoroughly calculated.”

“….”

“Are you going to rebel?”

“no!”

“or not? “Do you think you don’t trust me?”

“Oh no!”

A man was standing with his back to the non-response desk.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

‘Non-responsive major?’

On the first day of returning to the past, it was Yeon Ji-pyeong who sneaked into Josa-dong and Kang Yoon, the emergency response manager who retrieved the rice balls.

Kang Yoon said in a cold voice.

“I am stronger than you. It means that you broke through the level you are on ten years ago. “I understand every detail of how you should cultivate.”

“….”

“It’s a schedule I made myself, so why aren’t you following it? “Don’t you want to become stronger?”

“sorry!”

“Or did you want to stand out? Or maybe I was sleeping too much? “Are you feeling energetic?”

“no!”

Thoroughly destroys the opponent.

Kang Yoon was begging his subordinates with profane language. But it didn’t look very good.

“It was a deviation from the carefully calculated schedule. That in itself is a serious violation of discipline. “I guess your resolutions have been met?”

“….”

“Why is there no answer? “Are you deaf?”

“no! sorry!”

Kang Yoon snorted.

“It is a joint responsibility. You will practice the flying sword technique until midnight today. There is no meal or rest. “I have the stamina to practice without sleeping, so I guess I can handle this much, right?”

“….”

“Why is there no answer? “You don’t want to do it?”

“Oh no!”

“It starts now. “Bring an iron core wooden sword for training.”

The faces of the emergency responders turned pale.

The iron core wooden sword was a training sword that weighed over ten pounds. Holding a sword like that and swinging it all day without a break?

“What are you doing? You can’t move right now!”

It was then.

“stop.”

Kang Yoon looked back.

Yeon Ho-jeong was frowning as he was.

“This is not a third-rate gangster, he is very versatile.”
