Chapter 59

Episode 59. Even a tyrant can become a hero (4)“What?!”

Ma Dong-pil’s face became somber.

“I said you were imprisoned.”

“No matter how much it is, how can you imprison the Three Princes? “Unless we start a rebellion, that’s impossible!”

“….”

“Could it be a real rebellion?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Then why!”

Ma Dong-pil sighed and explained the whole story.

Upon hearing those words, Wei Hongryun’s face became distorted.

“Isn’t that bastard, the leader of the Criminal Justice Department, crazy? “What’s so strange about the candidates fighting among themselves that they’re even imprisoned?!”

“The situation is not that simple.”

“Why isn’t it simple? “Is there a reason as simple as the candidates fighting each other for the presidency?” S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“You swung a knife at the head of the criminal court who was trying to stop the fight.”

“…!”

“You may be the most respected person in our school, but this case is different. “Because there was a dispute not with anyone else but with the head of the Penal Court.”

“…Sipal.”

The prestige of the Penal Court, which carried out the punishment of Protestants, was truly remarkable. Even if the opponent was a disciple of the religious leader, he had swung a sword at the religious leader, so it was by no means an issue that could be easily overcome.

“Besides, there were too many eyes watching. “I guess they had no choice but to imprison Confucius for the sake of the authority of the Penal Court.”

Wei Hongryeon opened her eyes.

“You bastard! “Whose side are you on?”

“What do you mean?”

“So you’re saying the Head of the Criminal Justice Department did a good job?!”

“I said I understood him, but I never said I was on his side.”

“You speak well, you damn bastard.”

“That’s not the point. There is nothing we can do at this point. “I don’t know how the head of the Criminal Code will come out or how Confucius will respond.”

Ma Dong-pil’s voice gradually lost strength.

“Honestly, I don’t know what to do now.”

Wei Hongryeon, who was gritting her teeth, turned her head away. Because she couldn’t think of anything else.

A frustrating silence surrounded the two people.

Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.

“Anyway, why did you come here?”

“What man?”

“Shouldn’t Gwangma University return to work starting today?”

Wei Hongryun snorted.

“Only when an order comes from above can we go to the scene or not. “There hasn’t been much word from the higher-ups yet.”

“Then why don’t you wait….”

“That’s a lot of talk. why? “Can’t I come here?”

“It’s not like that, but…”

“The screening process is already complicated, so don’t bother me.”

Wei Hongryeon, who was sighing deeply, soon smiled cruelly.

“Anyway, you’re a hot guy. “Is it true that they destroyed the boatman on the spot?”

Although it was quiet, rumors were spreading throughout the civil war that the boatman had suffered irreversible injuries.

At the same time, the powerful inaction of the Three Dukes was reexamined. Not only was it not enough to escape from the demons, but the demons were surprised to see that their martial arts skills had become much stronger than before the demons.

Excitement and anxiety.

The Three Dukes’ military power left a strong impression on the hearts of the demons, but at the same time, it also caused them anxiety. This is because the fight between candidates that had been going on in secret was brought to the surface.

“Tch, it’s a little disappointing.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Three Princes were so splendid.”

“Be careful what you say.”

“It worked, and because of that, there weren’t any rumors that should have been spread.”

“rumor?”

“I mean Song Kyung. “It should have been revealed just how much that bastard got screwed.”

“Does it matter?”

“It’s important to me.”

Ma Dong-pil clicked his tongue.

“Why do you hate Lord Jinma so much? Was there any big problem between you two?”

“If he didn’t exist, why would I hate him so much?”

“What on earth happened?”

“Not long after I took office as the chief shareholder, there was a meeting of the lenders. At that time, that guy tried to discipline me. “I was so angry that I broke one of my balls.”

“…!”

“Ever since then, they’ve been anxious because they haven’t been able to catch me. “Ji was the one who made the mistake first.”

“….”

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…Let’s go get some food.”

“In these times, is a grain of rice going down your throat?”

“I don’t think this is what the Great Lord would say. “Let’s go. They said that no matter what you do, you have to eat to get your head around.”

“Who said they bewitched you with such foolish remarks?”

“Sam Gongja.”

* * *

“….”

“…?”

“….”

“Why don’t you just say something when you come in?”

“Three Confucius.”

“what.”

“What the hell….”

“Oh, that’s right. “Would you mind releasing this before that?”

Xi Liang raised both hands. On his wrists were the handcuffs of Geumhaecheol (禁海鐵), which Wei Hongryeon had been wearing earlier.

“My wrist is sore. “I don’t think it’s okay to let him go since he has no intention of running away anyway.”

“The Three Princes are currently imprisoned. Being imprisoned means you are a criminal, at least temporarily. Of course, that request cannot be granted.”

Quack!

Gogu’s eyes deepened.

Xiliang scratched his head. Geum Hae-cheol’s handcuffs on both hands were split in half.

“I thought it wouldn’t split, but it did. “I’m sorry for breaking it.”

Handcuffs made of gold sea steel seal the inner cavity.

Even the chains that connected the handcuffs were made of high-purity steel and could not be destroyed by the sealed inner strength. That golden metal was broken all at once.

“Isn’t your inner energy sealed?”

“It was sealed.”

“But how?”

“In the first place, strength is the business.”

It’s a ridiculous joke. These handcuffs are something that even a master of his mother’s family who has reached the top level with only external skills cannot break.

However, Seoliang was skilled in using objects that temporarily seal internal energy, such as handcuffs, rings, and bracelets. This is because I have used it countless times when assassinating a master who can judge the presence or absence of internal strength at a glance.

Of course, there are also ways to forcibly break the seal. To Seo-ryang, the Geumhae Iron Armor was nothing more than a slightly hard pair of handcuffs.

Quack! Quad deuk!

Seoryang ripped off all of the remaining handcuffs on his wrists and crossed his arms.

“So what do you have to say?”

“…I remember that you clearly agreed to my proposal.”

“proposal? “It must have been a threat.”

“Anything.”

“I had to agree. “To be honest, I didn’t want to make this mess either.”

“Are you saying it was force majeure?”

“Whether it was a suggestion or a threat, there was a mediator. “It’s not a bad way to reconcile, but doesn’t it require agreement between the parties to properly reconcile?”

“So you were the first to extend a hand of reconciliation?”

“It did. He kicked me. “The threat to kill him, even if not immediately, was a bonus.”

“….”

“I can’t stand feeling uncomfortable afterward. “Is there any reason to look at the guy who wants to kill me because of the mediator’s threats?”

Gogu’s eyes sank coldly.

“I don’t know how you heard, but I meant it when I said it would be quite difficult.”

“know.”

“Can you handle it?”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“That’s another interesting thing to say. “Why should I have to deal with that?”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I’m not talking about ‘threats’ under the guise of your proposal, but about the ‘reason’ for making such threats.”

Why? What does this mean?

“Whether you are the head of the criminal code or as an individual named Gogu, you don’t want trouble to break out on campus. That’s why I became a mediator. Am I right?”

“exactly.”

“Now there’s no more trouble?”

“…!”

“Is that so? “That guy Hong Wi-moon should be lying down for at least a few years. How can he provoke me with a body like that?”

Gogu’s complexion suddenly changed.

Yes. He did not want the campus to become noisy due to disruption by candidates or anyone else.

However, a conflict can only erupt if there is an opponent. The moment Xi Liang put Hong Wei Gate in a state where it could not be revived, his proposal was as good as gone.

because? Because the person who would cause trouble has disappeared.

“For whatever reason, this is what you wanted. But why are you talking nonsense now about handling it and all that?”

“….”

“Whether it’s disguise or not, are you, like that guy, the type of person who only needs all the demons in the school to bow their heads to get rid of their anger?”

Gogu slightly raised his eyebrows.

Xu Liang smiled.

“Stop loosening up.”

“….”

“If it wasn’t for my respect for you, I would have run out before the handcuffs were put on me. “I think I’ve done everything I could to ask you to be this patient as a third prince.”

“I felt it before, but you are quite eloquent.”

“I just mutter as much as I can.”

“What are you going to do if I don’t release you?”

“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t release you?”

“I’m just saying that because I’m curious.”

“I thought you were a person who didn’t have the knack of dragging out a conversation with unnecessary assumptions, but I was wrong.”

“….”

“Can I just leave now?”

Gogu, who had been staring at Seoryang, stood up from his seat.

“We will be paying close attention from now on.”

“Give, but do not block the path ahead. “I have no intention of dealing with the criminal court.”

“You are confident. You have not been designated as successor yet. “He’s just a candidate.”

“whatever.”

“If I decide…”

“Yes, if I decide to bury you through rumors, it won’t be that difficult. So, let’s go our separate ways quietly.”

“What do you mean?”

Xu Liang stood up.

“Wouldn’t it work well if someone with strict standards, whether it’s a criminal court or a defense court, is in charge? If there were rumors that the head of such an organization actually threatened the Three Dukes in secret, you would be quite tired, wouldn’t you?”

“….”

“Considering the fear and discomfort of demons about the penal court, I don’t think it’s a very difficult task.”

“You’re petty.”

“I’ll give it back exactly as it was said. “If you’re going to play as an executive, don’t mess with the strict people and just grab the subordinates.”

“….”

“Goes. “I hope we don’t have to see each other often in the future.”

* * *

Gogu sighed as he looked at the back of Seoryang scurrying away in the distance. I don’t know how long it’s been since I last sighed.

“He is a difficult person.”

And he is a dangerous person. I said it would be nice if I didn’t have to see him often from now on, but I had a feeling that I would see him often.

At that time, Sam Camouflage walked up from behind.

“Primary restoration of the damaged area has been completed.”

“Good work.”

“…head of the family.”

“Is there anything else to report?”

Sam stomach said in a dissatisfied voice.

“Can I send the three princes over there?”

“….”

“He is the one who even swung a sword at the head of the clan. It is not a matter of status, but a matter of school discipline. “We can put it together somehow.”

“It may take some effort, but it is possible.”

“But why did you send it?”

“Is there any reason to make any effort?”

“But….”

Gogu turned his head and looked at Samgyogi.

For a moment, fear appeared in Sam Wei’s eyes. The way Gogu looked at him was very cold.

“Your actions were quick, but your words and actions were careless. Do you admit it?”

“…sorry.”

“Never get caught by your opponent, no matter who he is or what he is. Each such statement adds up to create dissatisfaction, and as dissatisfaction builds, people who ignore the rules emerge. “The Three Dukes’ remarks even had their own validity.”

“….”

“I will take a three-month pay cut to make you reflect on yourself. Let’s use this opportunity to grow even further.”

“thank you.”

Three stomachs bowed deeply and disappeared at a brisk pace.

Gogu turned his gaze to the window again. The Three Confucius had already become a pitch-black dot.

‘Three Confucius.’

He no longer thought about the words and actions of the Three Dukes.

What he was thinking about was the martial arts of the Three Confucius.

‘It was worse and more vicious than martial arts, but… its methods clearly belong to the righteous sect.’

Gogu’s face revealed a distraught look that no one could recognize.

‘Same as me?’
