Chapter 301

The woman sitting across from the table asked back with a surprised expression.

“So you came all this way to recruit me?”

“That’s right.”

I nodded calmly and answered.

The woman, Yu So-hwa, smiled as if she was in trouble and scratched her cheek with her index finger.

“I’m a little embarrassed. “It’s such a sudden offer...”

“It’s okay to be honest. Now, it’s too burdensome to apply to a new organization or a department with a fixed period of activity.”

“There is no such side. “I’m older now too.”

“I know this is not an easy decision to make. But it may be worth considering positively.”

“Could you be more specific if possible? “What benefits will it bring me if I change departments?”

“First, I will give you a raise. “Twice as much as now.”

“...These are quite unconventional conditions. “I almost said yes without realizing it.”

“And this is my personal opinion, but even if you continue to work at Yeonhwagak, I think your future will be uncertain.”

“what do you mean?”

“How many times have you been promoted in the last five years?”

A shadow fell on Yu So-hwa’s face.

Before coming to Meng’s headquarters, I gathered information about her through Hao Wen.

Since the Yongbong Branch, she has only been promoted once.

It may have been difficult for her to make notable achievements due to the nature of her administrative position, but she was basically a capable person.

In fact, I heard that she handles nearly 30 percent of the work at Yeonhwagak (蓮花閣) by herself.

‘You can literally say he is the key figure of Yeonhwagak.’

The interesting thing was that her status was not that high compared to her abilities.

The reason was simple.

Because their status and background are unique.

Even in every small department, there are internal conflicts and competition for promotions.

And it was easy for those who had a background as a great monk to gain an upper hand in the competition.

Moreover, the department that Yu So-hwa belongs to is Yeonhwagak.

It was a subordinate organization of Jujakdae (朱雀隊), one of the Four Gods (Four Gods).

The unit swarming with famous female masters was the main unit.

Women who joined the league because they admired such masters were generally strong and unyielding.

To put it bluntly, the chances of Yu So-hwa, who came from an unknown shaman family, competing with them and winning were not very high.

[Judging by your attire, it looks like you belong to Yeonhwagak. Are you in charge of the reception of this Yongbong branch meeting?]

[Yes. I’ve gotten quite a few promotions along the way. Because he was recognized for his clerical skills.]

In the early days of joining the alliance, he must have been able to establish himself easily.

Because, as I said, she is basically competent.

However, achieving a certain level of status was a different matter.

His competitors are disciples of the Nine Great Gates Sect and blood relatives of the Five Great Families, he is checked by the envious and jealous bandits around him, and he is despised and discriminated against due to his poor background.

It’s unfortunate, but the Murim Alliance has not been an ideal organization that evaluates members based solely on ability.

Yu So-hwa could be said to be a representative example of the victims that resulted from this.

Many warriors join the military with big dreams.

However, there were only a handful of people who achieved stable status and status.

‘Slowly, the time has come for the members who joined the alliance after the Yongbong branch to feel the wall and express their dissatisfaction.’

Here was the starting point to persuade Yu So-hwa.

She, too, must have been quite dissatisfied with the Suzakudae and the Murim Alliance for not treating her well.

All I had to do was suggest a way for her to resolve her complaints.

“Whether I change departments or continue working at Yeonhwagak, the future is uncertain. In that case, you should at least work for an organization that will evaluate you properly.”

“.......”

“There is no law that says that even if the Cheonan Inspectorate is disbanded, its members will become unemployed. Rather, he may be recognized for his contributions during his career and be given a key position in the military.”

“It’s tempting to say that.”

“Take your time and think about it. There is still time. “I’ll just go now.”

I put my hand on the table and got up from my seat.

Yu So-hwa, who followed, asked.

Isn’t this what most of them are probably thinking?

I waited for the commotion to subside and slowly opened my mouth.

“And there is one thing that needs to be resolved before reorganization.”

“......?”

“From now on, the person I am calling by name, please stand up from your seat.”

I unfolded the paper I took out from my pocket and read the names written on it one by one.

From the head of the inspection department to the lowest level subordinates.

When the name was called, about 80 people were standing up.

“Tsk.”

The head of the inspection department clicked his tongue as if he was displeased.

Even though there was a difference in rank, he didn’t seem to like the fact that he, the head of a faction, was treated so carelessly.

‘I guess I thought they would at least show me respect.’

I chuckled and threw the paper on the table.

And then he made a declaration that seemed like a bolt out of the blue.

“All those whose names were called are expelled.”

“......yes?”

“I said I was expelled.”

“What nonsense is that!”

“I don’t know why it doesn’t make sense.”

“There is no law like this in the world! I know that the Cheonan Inspector General was granted personnel authority by the Maengju, but that is not a reason to unfairly kick out the Maengs who were previously working in the department! “Do you think this kind of violence will be tolerated?”

I placed my head on the back of my hand and made eye contact with the head of the inspection department.

Then, with a terrifying force, he pressed him and asked.

“Did you just say it was a riot?”

“yes!”

“If you do, I will ask. “Do you remember the name Bu Yeok-woon, the head of the inspection department?”

“Who is that?”

“This is the name of a blind man who was expelled by the head of the inspection department four summers ago for a crime he did not commit.”

“What are you talking about!”

“I’m shocked that you don’t even remember. “Well, I committed more than one or two crimes, but I guess I didn’t keep them all in my head.”

“I will not tolerate any more insults!”

“Nowadays, even reporting facts is considered an insult? “I guess I’m behind the times.”

“dare!”

The head of the inspection department shouted, blood forming on the back of his neck, and placed his hand on his waist.

I narrowed my eyes and spoke as if warning.

“If you pull out that sword, I will take that to mean that you will be punished. If you want to be executed right here, go ahead.”

“.......”

The inspector general finally regained his senses and looked around.

The members of Cheonan Gambu, who were standing behind like a folding screen, were all showing their enthusiasm.

Bangcheoksam, Yeo So-ok, Cheon Ga-ryeong, Dang Seoyeon, Hwang Ho-jin, Seo Ho-seon, Cheon-woo Dojang, Chang-in Dojang.

Each and every one of them was an expert who had reached at least the highest level.

If we decide to use force, the bandits gathered here will not be able to withstand even an inch of it.

“Why on earth are you doing this to us!”

“Don’t look so upset. “I wonder how absurd it must feel for the deputy warrior whom we worked so hard to bring in.”

“...What did you say just now?”

“It means that the deputy warrior who became a criminal without knowing why, lost his Danjeon, and was expelled from the military is here.”

Kwadangtang!

As soon as he finished speaking, a man broke through the paper door and rushed towards the head of the inspection department, screaming loudly.

I reflexively snapped my fingers at the head of the inspection department, who was preparing a counterattack.

Puff poop!

Needles flew secretly and stuck in various parts of the body of the inspector general.

The head of the inspection department’s body became as stiff as a log.

“You son of a bitch!”

Wow!

The fist swung by the company’s vice president exploded in the face of the inspector general.
