Chapter 27
Episode 27 I heard.
A few days later, I officially ascended to the Nether Pole.
The warriors of Hwangcheongak arrived at my residence early in the morning.
The person who took the lead was Seo Dae-ryong, a special investigator who also investigated the Demon Army.
“I came to see you, Lord.”
“Investigator Seo. “There you are.”
“I applied.”
In fact, this small, gloomy-looking man in front of me played a big role in my becoming a netherworld.
“Let’s go.”
I decided to take Ian with me.
“Ian, you come with us too. “You have to learn how to run an organization.”
“thank you!”
She was so happy that she felt like she was going to fly, as if she thought I wouldn’t be taken away this time either.
“We are not going to have fun. Go learn. How the organization operates and how to treat subordinates. “Don’t miss a single thing and learn everything.”
“yes!”
When we arrived at Hwangcheongak, all the investigators came out and lined up at the entrance. It seemed like this was how a new state governor was welcomed.
As I passed by, they all greeted me loudly.
“See you, Lord!”
I expected that they would not welcome my appointment. But it was a more favorable look than I expected.
So, I quietly asked Seo Dae-ryong, who was standing next to me.
“Did you say that if I don’t pretend to welcome you, I’ll cut your monthly salary?”
“no.”
“Why is the atmosphere so good?”
Then Seo Dae-ryong lifted his foot and imitated hitting the ground.
When I saw that, I could understand the reason for their hospitality. It was because of the old temple in the Magun area. Godang killed the first investigator who went to investigate, and this time he injured the investigator.
In that situation, I killed Godang by smashing his head, so it was like getting revenge on them. In addition, the resistance of being too young to sit in the footnote position must have been compensated to some extent by the blood of the Heavenly Demon, and his martial arts skills have also been proven since he even killed the Demon Lord.
“Would you like to say something?”
At Seo Dae-ryong’s words, I turned to my subordinates before entering the building.
He slowly looked at each of their faces and said a short sentence.
“I don’t know whether you will be happier or more unhappy if I become a footnote. But one thing is certain. “Your heart will beat faster than before.”
After saying that, I turned around and entered the building.
A murmur was heard from behind. There is no need to worry about how my words will be received. You’ll find out soon.
Seo Dae-ryong, who guided me to the office, was about to leave when I left him behind.
“Inspector Seo, you never thought we’d meet again like this, did you?”
“Honestly, I was very surprised.”
“I came because I wanted to see the investigator.”
Seo Dae-ryong’s expression did not change at all, as if the words he spoke did not work.
“Ian, you must absolutely avoid such a blunt man. “Life is boring.”
“It could be Jin-guk instead.”
Ian took Seo Dae-ryong’s side.
“No, this guy is just soup without any ingredients.”
This time, Seo Dae-ryong came forward in person.
“It’s not real soup, but it’s not bland either.”
“Oh, you have personality. “There will be many times in the future when that personality will be needed.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who is quick-witted, immediately realized what I meant by this.
“no. This is bland soup. Please don’t come to me for something dangerous.”
“I’m going to eat that soup with rice. “With a lot of spicy seasoning.”
Seo Dae-ryong took a step back. Although he pretends to be scared, Seo Dae-ryong is a brave man. I know that there is great courage and spirit in that small body.
“Tell me about this angle. “I don’t know anything.”
Then Seo Dae-ryong explained as if he had been waiting.
“As you know, Hwangcheongak is an organization that protects and enforces the school’s rules and laws. In addition to eradicating corruption, we handle various incidents that occur on campus. The total number of people is 100, including 30 investigators and 70 execution officers.”
The execution officer was in charge of assisting and escorting investigators and arresting criminals.
“It’s not as much as I thought.”
“It’s an organization that doesn’t need to have a lot of numbers.”
Hwangcheongak was an authoritative organization that everyone feared. Of course, there were exceptions like the demon army, but most demons were afraid of Hwangcheongak.
“Out of the 30 investigators, there are a total of five special investigators. Special investigators are mainly in charge of cases that are considered difficult and important, but can be considered the same as regular investigators. “Executive officers are not assigned to separate investigators and provide support whenever necessary.”
After listening to the explanation, I asked him.
“Inspector Seo, what do you think is the biggest problem with Hwangcheongak?”
Seo Dae-ryong, who hesitated for a moment, answered.
“No organization at our school can escape Palmazon’s influence.”
Although he didn’t point out Hwangcheongak, he meant that Palmazon was the biggest problem.
“Are you part of that influence too?”
“Not me. Like I said, it’s because I’m a loner.”
At least, this means that there was no involvement in school politics for money or promotion.
“But I am not a person with great beliefs. “You can just look at them as grumbling complainers.”
“So I like it. “I don’t like people who are too focused on ideals.”
I glanced back at Ian and said.
“I like reasonable people. “Take care of yourself first.”
Ian only smiled slightly because he knew he was talking about him.
My eyes turned to Seo Dae-ryong again.
“You did that, right? Our school will not change. What is it like? “What about changing me and my school from now on?”
“What if you show such passion and then leave? “It’s like you came so suddenly.”
“I will go when the time comes.”
“I, who ignited our passion together, must remain alone among the burnt ashes?”
“That’s none of my business. You said you were always a loner? “What do you want to do?”
Seo Dae-ryong sighed loudly as if he was proud of my shamelessness, but his response was different from his actions.
“I’ll do it.”
“The reason is?”
“Didn’t you already show me the reason in the process of handling Demon’s affairs?”
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“yes. Please leave it to me.”
I cheerfully extended my hand to him, and Seo Dae-ryong held it tightly.
‘If I go, what will happen to you? How can I sit in my seat?’
Anyway, I received a warmer welcome than I expected. What is needed now is to make sure that the person I am is recognized.
To do that, an example was needed. A very poisonous and bad guy.
“Are there any recent cases related to Palmazon that I need to revisit?”
The phrase ‘to be taken care of again’ is a paraphrase of the phrase ‘processed unfairly.’
Seo Dae-ryong understood what I meant right away.
“Of course… there is.”
The word “of course” brought back the problem of Hwangcheongak that Seo Dae-ryong mentioned earlier.
“Bring it.”
After a while, Seo Dae-ryong brought the documents.
After checking the details of the incident, I let out a long sigh.
“Are you doing this on purpose to kill me?”
The case brought by Seo Dae-ryong was, of course, related to the Hyeolcheon Doma.
“I don’t want to do this either, but… it’s a recent incident and fits what you said.”
“So why do you need a blood chopping block?”
Ian, who was watching, quickly intervened.
“Young master, you have to be patient this time. “Elder Thomas is probably on the verge of exploding.”
I handed Ian the documents.
“The story written there is too unfair to cover it up for that reason. “Read this and cover it if you can.”
After reading the contents, Ian couldn’t bring himself to close the document and sighed.
“I can’t stand this.”
I jumped up from the chair.
“Let’s go. If fate calls me, I have to go.”
Actually, this is not fate or anything like that. It’s just an inevitability that happens because of an old man who leaves trash around.
* * *
Kwak Su (郭洙) was drunk.
He was in a deep despair that even alcohol could not help.
My son, who was attending military service, was assaulted by his friends. The son, who suffered a head injury, did not regain consciousness even after 10 days.
Cho Chun-bae, the owner of Pungryu Bar, who knew his situation well, sat in front of him.
“Is the rumor true that they were released?”
Kwak Su drank alcohol in succession.
“shit! Shit!”
Investigator Hwang Cheon-gak investigated this incident. Of course, I thought the people who committed the accident would be locked up in prison. However, the three were found not guilty and were released. It was treated as an injury while having sex with a friend.
“You are all wrong. “They say the father of the child who led this incident is a white swordsman.”
Baekdogwi was the leader of a hundred demons.
“Oh my!”
Cho Chun-bae sighed. If the other person’s father was a subordinate of the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon and not even a Ten Demon Demon, but a White Demon Demon, this incident would have ended like this.
“The Hwangcheongak investigators are all the same. “Those bastards are worse.”
“Shh! Lower your voice. “What if someone hears it?”
Jo Chun-bae looked around and calmed him down.
“Tell me to listen. Tell the Hwangcheongak bastards to kill me first! “Tell the white devil himself to come and kill me!”
Boom!
Kwak Su slammed the table. Cho Chun-bae quickly caught the bottle as it was about to fall.
“You man! “Please be patient.”
“If my son doesn’t wake up, my wife won’t be able to live up to my orders.”
Cho Chun-bae knows that that is not an exaggeration. This is because he was Kwak Soo’s only son, and we have seen for a long time how much the couple raised him with care.
“You will wake up.”
“If he doesn’t wake up, I will kill him and I will commit suicide.”
It was right then. The sound of words coming from behind.
“Can I kill you?”
When the two people turned their heads, three young men were standing at the entrance to the bar.
“you?”
The person who just asked in a mocking voice was the young man in the middle, and this young man was none other than Yang Ho (梁湖), who had led the assault.
“What kind of man are you that would kill someone else’s precious son?”
Kwak Su suddenly got up from his seat.
“you! you!”
When he met Yang Ho in an unexpected situation, he was surprised and embarrassed. But then he shouted loudly.
“You bastard. Because of you now… save my son! “Save me!”
His emotions were so intense that he didn’t even know what he was saying, but Yang Ho was upset.
“You bastard! “We didn’t hear a single apology from you!”
Then Yang Ho stepped forward and bowed his head politely.
“I’m sorry. I have truly committed a deadly sin. This will never happen again. Okay? I definitely apologized. So, you too, stop being this bastard and that bastard.”
“what? “What did you just say?”
“I’m not your child, am I?”
The two guys next to him were giggling, and Yangho was also suppressing his laughter.
Gwak Soo, mixed with drunkenness and anger, could not hold back and tried to draw his sword, but Jo Chun-bae rushed in and desperately tried to stop him.
“Hold on. Hold on! “For the sake of your family, bear with it!”
It was obvious that if Kwak Su drew his sword here, he would be killed by Yang Ho. Kwak Su was a low-level martial artist in the side story, and Yang Ho was young, but he had learned martial arts properly from a young age.
“Man, are you crazy? “I asked to apologize, but he tried to kill me.”
Yang-ho continued to provoke Kwak-su, as if he had decided that he would just go.
“You really have no conscience. Now try killing it. “Kill me if you can.”
How can humans be so shameless? Kwak Soo wanted to stab the guy right away.
But that shouldn’t be the case. He couldn’t win, but even if he killed Yang-ho, that was a bigger problem. At that moment everything will end. Not only himself, but also his unconscious son and his grieving wife will all be murdered by Yang-ho’s father.
“You guys, please go quickly. hurry.”
Cho Chun-bae tried to get Yang-ho and his friends out, but Yang-ho acted like someone who had given up on being human.
“I was wondering who our Dong-i resembled to be a coward, but he turned out to be just like his father.”
At that moment, Kwak Soo lost his temper.
Kwak Su drew his sword and Yang Ho’s fist flew in as if he had been waiting.
Kwak Su, who was hit in the face, crashed into the table behind him and fell to his death.
“Obviously that guy drew his sword first!”
The two guys standing behind shouted that they had seen us, as if they were witnesses.
Yang Ho rushed in and started beating Kwak Soo.
puck! puck! puck!
“How dare the guy guarding the warehouse report me to Hwangcheongak?”
This was the reason why he didn’t go back and started a fight. After being reported to Hwangcheongak, he was greatly scolded by his father and was unable to control his anger, so he came to vent his anger.
Only after punching so many times did Yang Ho wake up from Kwak Soo’s body.
“This is all because of you. They told me to go home and steal the money. I can’t do it because it’s my father’s hard earned money. An asshole pretending to be nice on his own. Am I the only one who is trash? So how can I not hit you? This is all your fault. okay?”
“… You confessed with your own mouth!”
Guo Su’s lip was burst and blood was flowing from the cut under his eye, but at this moment, he found some hope.
“What confession?”
“Everyone here heard it! Why did you hit my son? “I confessed that it was an assault, not a fight.”
Yangho looked around wildly.
“Now, has anyone here heard what I said?”
There were several guests there, but no one came forward. Even the bar owner, Cho Chun-bae, could not come forward. The moment you step forward, not only will you have to close your business here, but even your life will be in danger. The same was true for those who were guests.
“They said no one heard anything? Hehehe.”
Yang Ho’s laughter finally made Kwak Soo shed the tears he had been holding back.
“Ughhhhh!”
I was so angry that I couldn’t stand it. The reality of not being able to do anything while the guy who put my son in a coma was laughing at me and making fun of me was so devastating. As a father, I was embarrassed and very sorry. I didn’t want to shed tears, but they kept flowing.
“An adult cries like an idiot. It’s really a treasure trove. ha ha ha.”
The guys who came with Yang Ho also chuckled.
It was at that moment. A young man’s voice was clearly heard from the second floor of the bar.
“I heard.”
