Side story 163. The Demon’s Society (7)
Baek So-dam went to the criminal law party on her own. It was before the criminal law party’s masters could even raid the office of the Red Flag Association.
Lee Cheon-sang thought her choice was very clever.
It is a completely different matter to be summoned after an incident has occurred and to go there before it has occurred. Especially since she went right before the criminal court entered, it would be difficult to interpret her choice easily.
Thanks to this momentary choice, Baek So-dam can avoid being evaluated as being hostile to or not paying attention to the Gwanghyeol Shinma.
Rather, it can be interpreted that he went first to the head of the criminal law department to try to properly coordinate this situation. On the other hand, it can also be interpreted that he went first to the head of the Hwanheewon department to take moral responsibility as an individual.
That is, as before, she can create a picture that does not take anyone’s side. It is up to the viewer to be suspicious, but at least no one can be sure which tribe she belongs to.
One choice can mean losing everything, or gaining everything.
Baek So-dam’s quick choice proved how quick her wit was.

“… … adventure.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s calm appearance as he ate his food looked strangely relaxed.
Heo Pil cleared his throat by coughing and asked quietly.
“Your Majesty.”
“Speak.”
“Can we come here to eat in such an open manner?”
They came into Jamiru again and ate.
But it wasn’t a deserted dawn. It wasn’t night either, but after noon, many of the people who had taken a vacation or had nothing to do were drinking in various places in Jamiru.
Heo Pil, who knew the general situation, felt a strange burden. In other words, there might be a crazy drunk who swings a knife, so how could he eat?
“Only when your stomach is full can your head work and you have the strength to fight.”
“That is true, but.”
“If you’re not going to eat it, give it to me.”
The rice in front of Heopil had already cooled down slightly.
“No. You have to eat. If it’s not enough, should I order more?”
“Okay.”
Heo Pil, who had ordered another bowl of rice for Jeom So-yi, glanced to the side.
Hongsan had his arms crossed and his eyes closed. On the outside, he seemed to be sleeping. In the meantime, he had finished eating his share of food.
Heo Pil, who had just seen Hongsan, asked Lee Cheon-sang.
“How did things go? Judging from the atmosphere, things are quite chaotic.”
“It was handled well.”
“Who came from Hwanheewon?”
This was only the third time I was asked this question.
When he was first asked that question, Lee Cheon-sang did not answer. To be exact, it would be more accurate to say that he did not listen properly because he had a lot to think about. When he was asked the second time, he was teaching Hong San the art of magic, so he did not answer either.
And this was the third time.
Lee Cheon-sang said in a blunt voice.
“Wonju came in person.”
“omg!”
Heo Pil was startled. Hong San, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, also flinched.
“Lord Hwanhee? Lord Baek himself?”
“okay.”
“… … Really?”
Lee Cheon-sang picked up his chopsticks without answering.
Heo Pil let out a hollow laugh.
“Your Majesty, you’ve become so successful! To meet the legendary Lord of Hwanheewon in person.”
“legend?”
“Isn’t it widely praised that Baek Won-ju’s beauty is the best in Cheonmasingyo? She’s probably the idol of all the men in the school?”
“Do you idolize someone who would be lucky if he didn’t die?”
“What does that mean?”
“He was not an ordinary person.”
“Of course he’s not an ordinary person! He’s been known as the number one flower in the magic world for twenty years! And up until now, no one has stolen that reputation!”
“Who would take away the nickname of someone who is as famous as Gan Hui-wonju?”
“… … That’s true, though.”
“He is a dangerous person.”
They say it’s dangerous, but they don’t even blink an eye.
Heo Pil grumbled.
“I would like to meet the Lord of Hwanhee even if it is the most dangerous place in the world of martial arts.”
“I’ll see you soon.”
“yes?”
“The investigation into the criminal party will be over soon. I said I would invite you, so I will send someone soon.”
“Excuse me? Can we come with you?”
“I don’t know about that.”
“no way.”
Heo Pil took a deep breath as if he was tired and picked up his spoon while grumbling.
“Well, that’s true. I don’t have that kind of luck in my life.”
That was when.
Knock knock!

A large, hulking man stumbled toward the group’s table, his chair scraping against the floor.
Heo Pil frowned. Hong San also slowly opened his eyes.
“Oh my, those guys are so skinny and skinny that they only eat the amount of food a girl would eat. This keeps catching my eye and ruining the taste of my alcohol.”
The man, who looked to be well over thirty, but probably closer to forty, was holding a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
“You gentlemen. If you’re here at Juru, you should drink. Are you going to have a little bit of that and leave? Don’t you have any money? Should I order you some?”
The moment Heo Pil opened his mouth as if he was annoyed.
thud.
The giant man, sitting on an empty chair as if it were his own, cheerfully placed a bottle of alcohol on the table.
He burst out laughing.
“I’m joking, I’m joking. I just came here because I was curious since I hadn’t seen your face before.”
Heo Pil said bluntly.
“Go your way.”
“Oh, my. This guy has a temper. Why don’t you have a drink? Jamiru’s liquor is the best in the world. What could be a more wasteful way to spend your life than not having a drink on a day like this?”
I couldn’t figure out who the hell was wasting their life.
The giant poured alcohol into an empty rice bowl. A few grains of rice floated on top of the clear alcohol.
“Now, drink them all at once. You’ll feel better after drinking.”
At that moment, Hongsan opened his mouth.
“You’ve mastered the magic of two strong forces.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded silently.
Heo Pil smiled and rested his chin on his hand.
“Hey, big guy.”
“… … ?”
“There’s no need to act like a drunk and cause trouble. Just go back quietly and have a drink.”
“what?”
“Well, I’m doing it because I was told to, and there are a lot of eyes watching me, so I guess it’s a bit much to just let it go?”
Uh-huh.
Heo Pil broke the chopsticks with one hand and tapped the back of Geohan’s hand with the sharp part.
“How can we burn brightly in broad daylight when we live by orders and die by orders?”
The giant’s face was distorted.
“What are these guys talking about now!”
I shouted without realizing it, but my eyes shook in surprise.
I thought it was really clumsy. But even though people can be clumsy, it was hard to see the situation as being that way.
About half of the mines sitting around the table were glaring at me with shining eyes. They looked ready to pounce on me if I made a mistake.
One of the White Bone Demon’s statics has moved. Of course, it must have been ordered by a mid-level manager. The Teenage Demon King would not have raised such children while keeping them directly under him.
“Hey. Step aside quietly. If you were going to drink, you should have ordered it a long time ago. If you don’t step aside, there’ll be a hole in the back of your hand.”
“These kids!”
At that moment, Heo Pil’s eyes sank.
“Go quietly when I send you away.”
The giant flinched without realizing it.
Although the sealed power has not been fully released, the martial arts skills that have been developed so far are enough to kill a giant within two rounds.
Although it was only a few times, Heo Pil’s sense of intimidation, having recently experienced various real-life situations, was quite sharp. The murderous intent refined by killing people was on a different level from just swearing a little.
But Geohan was not just a simple idiot.
“You crazy bastards! Let’s have a fight, okay? Great! It was already tight, but let’s see some blood today!”
That was when.
“Don’t move.”
The giant’s body stood still.
That wasn’t all. Heo Pil’s hand also flinched.
Lee Cheon-sang looked at the stairs in the distance.
Before I knew it, there were people who had come up to this floor. Among them, the woman standing in the middle was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties, wearing a black robe that contrasted with her pure white skin.
“What kind of year is that… …!”
The giant turned his head and was startled when he saw the woman’s face.
“Hey, you?!”
The woman spoke with a cold face.
“He is a guest of our hospital. The moment we lay a hand on him, no one will be able to walk out of Jamiru today in good health.”
It was a voice that gave me the creeps.
The giant’s face turned red and blue. It was difficult to back down like this, given the orders he had received and the eyes he had.
But the opponent was too big a person. Even the immediate superior of the giant had no choice but to bow to that woman.
In the end, the giant gritted his teeth and retreated.
“Everyone, stand aside.”
Knock knock.
The men sitting in the center stood up and made way for me.
The woman walked between them as if it was nothing and arrived in front of Lee Cheon-sang.
Heo Pil stood there awkwardly. Hong San still had his arms crossed, but his expression did not look comfortable even with empty words.
The woman asked Lee Cheon-sang.
“Are you the one and only Lord of the Side Story, Yasha Commander?”
“exactly.”
“I decided to invite you to Hwanheewon.”
The woman took a small letter out of her bosom and handed it to Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang nodded after opening the letter and skimming through its contents.
“Let’s go.”
The woman turned away without saying a word.
“Your Majesty.”
Heo Pil scratched his head with a broken chopstick.
“What about us?”
“I was invited together.”
“100 million!”
A color came to Heo Pil’s face.
Hongsan got up, coughing in vain.
“If you’re invited, you should go.”
So the three followed the woman.
The moment the group was about to go down the stairs.
“Oh, I forgot.”
Heo Pil waved his hands in the air.
puck!
The giant flinched.
Before he knew it, the chopsticks that had pierced his sleeve were stuck in the table where the group was sitting.
“Use this when your head itches. It feels refreshing.”
A knowing smile appeared on the face of the woman walking in front.
So the group headed to the residence of the Hwanheewonju.

“Good.”
Yang Baek-ho put down the document.
“They are people who were recruited late, but their results are quite impressive. Not only did they master the formation in just a few days, but their individual skills have grown tremendously.”
“… … .”
“If the leader doesn’t lead well, this level of achievement wouldn’t have been possible. You’ve worked hard.”
“You are too kind.”
Yoo Sang-cheon answered stiffly and lowered his head.
Yang Baek-ho asked with a smile.
“The skills of your crew members are improving rapidly, but you say you’re stagnating?”
“… … .”
“There is no answer.”
“The stagnation is… … .”
Yoo Sang-cheon nodded after a moment of silence.
“It seems like the stagnation is right.”
“If you have too many thoughts and are confused, you won’t be able to cultivate well. That can also be seen as a stagnation period. If you had refuted that, I would have been a little disappointed.”
I really felt like I was disappointed in people for no reason.
Of course, he grumbled inside and didn’t say it out loud. This was because Yoo Sang-cheon also thought that Yang Baek-ho’s words were a joke.
Aside from everything else, Yang Baek-ho was a warrior worthy of respect. This was especially true for Yoo Sang-cheon, who had experienced many unwanted incidents due to his origins.
“How are the wounds?”
“I’m all better.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Yang Baek-ho, with his back buried in his chair, silently tapped the table.
Yoo Sang-cheon was puzzled. Why did Yang Baek-ho call him, who was not even a deputy chief of staff but just a group leader, to his office?
“Yoo Sang-cheon.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“I’ll go on a trip to the civil war.”
“……yes?”
“Of course I won’t send you alone.”
Yang Baek-ho’s face became serious.
“I plan to send them into the civil war one by one after an appropriate amount of time. The first among them was Captain Heo.”
“… … ?!”
“I originally planned to send you from the 11th platoon, but you’re still not in good health. That’s why I chose you.”
“… … .”
“How about you go and have a little fun with your superior?”
