Hwa-ok realized that something inside him had been broken.
Sleeping with Taesan last night was really special.
To be honest, his memory was hazy. Only vaguely remained in his mind that I was drowning in the swamp of great pleasure.
And he definitely felt it yesterday. Taesan’s heart.
He felt how careful and tender he was, and how much he cared for him.
To be honest, he had no choice but to do that because he was dealing with souls, but up to that point, Hwa-ok couldn’t figure it out.
In any case, that feeling was definitely etched in his memory and heart.
“I’m sure everyone is doing this.’
Hwa-ok now understands why Danyeong and other quarrels for Taesan. They probably felt the same way.
Hwa-ok closed his eyes, placed his hand on his chest, and pressed it gently.
Something solid inside him broke because of last night’s experience.
It was like breaking an egg.
Hwa-ok knew from a young age that he was different from ordinary people.
Otherwise, there would be no way to see what others couldn’t.
And from that moment on, he naturally recognized that something that gave him the ability to see something different from what the others can see.
But he has no idea what it was.
It broke this time, what he originally knew was wrong. It wasn’t the hard thing inside that gave him that kind of power.
Rather, it was an obstacle that was blocking his ability. It was a big rock blocking the waterway.
And it was shattered when he spent overnight with Taesan.
The barrier blocking the way was neatly evaporated in a huge fire.
It was the first time in his life that Hwa-ok was so refreshed.
He opened his eyes And I looked around the hall where Byeoktaesan was staying.
He realized once again what a great person I was serving.
Hwa-ok turned and walked again. That’s all for enjoying the afterglow of last night. Now it’s time to get to work on the wall mount.
He left the golden closet and headed for Baekhwaru.
* * *
Hwa-ok arrived at Baekhwa-ru and found a familiar person.
“Oh, who is this? Aren’t you the former Uichang branch manager who abandoned us and changed ships?”
Jo Tae-joo came over with a smile on his face.
He came to Baekhwaru to gather information and come up with a countermeasure after he was devastated by Byeoktaesan.
I checked what Byeok Tae-san had instructed Hao-mun, and I was thinking about how to change Byeok-taesan’s heart.
But in the meantime, Hwa-ok came here.
As Jo Tae-joo is the son of Hao Moon-ju, he was able to check most of the information flowing through Hao-mun.
In any case, it was because he was the most influential next-generation Hao Moon-ju.
However, not all Mundos of Haomun supported Jo Tae-joo. There were quite a few people who disliked Jo Tae-joo.
Of course, I didn’t reveal it.
Hwa-ok was also one of those who disliked Jo Tae-joo, and so was Baek Hwa-ru.
Jo Tae-joo’s eyes lit up and looked up and down the Hwa-ok.
“Didn’t you become so pretty while we couldn’t see each other? It looks like you got a lot of good things from Byeok Tae-san?”
When Hwa-ok showed no reaction, Jo Tae-joo asked.
“We’re not even Haomen people anymore, what are you doing here?”
“I came to check how far the work that Confucius had instructed us to go. We also check the recent situation in Wuhan.”
Jo Tae-joo’s expression was slightly distorted.
“Our Haomun. Since when did Byeok Tae-san become private?”
Hwa-ok frowned and looked at Jo Tae-joo.
Jo Tae-joo continued to speak while glaring at Hwa-ok.
“Hey, Uichang Branch Manager. Are you really going to turn your back on Hao-Mun?”
Hwa-ok didn’t even feel worth responding to.
In his eyes, it was clear that Jo Tae-joo was enveloped in jealousy and desire.
“Don’t do this, hold our hand. In the future, you dig up information about Mt. Byeoktaesan and bring it to me. As long as I’m sure I’ll get a copy of it, I’ll promise you my post as department head. How is it?”
Hwa-ok was ignorant on the inside.
Doesn’t it seem as if he took it for granted that he would later become the master of the gate?
The possibility is high, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
In this situation, if Jo Tae-joo made a few big mistakes, he could have been dismissed quickly.
And it turns out he was making that mistake now.
When Hwa-ok didn’t say anything, Jo Tae-joo laughed as if he had taken it in a positive way.
“The information I mentioned earlier is on the table over there, so make it yourself. What It seems nothing, though.”
Hwa-ok went to Seo-tak, which Jo Tae-joo was pointing to, without saying a word.
Then, he picked up the cluttered papers one by one.
You can’t just bring this to Byeoktaesan. Checking and organizing were essential.
Hwa-ok checked the contents first.
It didn’t take long for her expression to harden.
“What is this?”
“what?”
“Why is there so much information? Have you stolen any key information?”
“What are you talking about? I’m just setting a price. If you want the core, you can give it to me. Isn’t it simple and natural?”
Hwa-ok put the documents he had organized and put them back on the desk.
“This is information that doesn’t need Haomun’s help, so I’ll just leave it alone.”
Jo Tae-joo blocked Hwa-ok.
“What else are we going to do with this?”
“If you read the information, you have to pay.”
“Are you going to pay for all that rubbish?”
“I decide whether it is garbage or not. And you saw it.”
Hwa-ok’s expression hardened.
“Whoa. good. So how much do you want?”
“There were a total of thirteen high-quality information… Cheaply, only sixty-four gold.”
Hwa-ok looked at Jo Tae-joo who is being shameless.
“Now… Are you trying to build a gold wall top and chuck?”
“What a scary joke. I’m not at the top of the gold wall, I’m holding on to you. If someone other than you had come, it would have been a different story, wouldn’t it?”
Hwa-ok roughly guessed what Jo Tae-joo was going to do.
It was the intention to separate himself from Taesan.
Perhaps if Hwa-ok informs Byeok Tae-san of this incident, Jo Tae-joo will change his face and seize him because he has never done it.
That was Jo Tae-joo’s specialty.
He has the ability to persuade.
He was able to sm hake someone’s heart by putting emotion into words.
If Jo Tae-joo succeeds in defeating him, he will do the same to the others around Mt. Byeoktaesan.
“By the way… Do you have the money to pay sixty gold? If not, You would have to pay by selling your body.”
Jo Tae-joo’s eyes gleamed like snakes. From the moment he saw Hwa-ok today, he was full of lust.
Hwa-ok pulled out a long, thick gold bar from his sleeve.
It was a gold ingot that was likely to exceed a hundred yang.
Jo Tae-joo’s eyes widened and grabbed the gold reflexively.
“You made a mistake.” Hwa-ok said and left.
Jo Tae-joo glared at Hwa-ok’s back, squeezing the gold in his hands.
“Now, shall we hurry and visit Taesan?”
Jo Tae-joo stroked his arms once. It contained information that was originally intended to be given to Byeoktaesan.
His body quickly turned towards the gold closet.
It will probably arrive sooner if only Hwa-ok did not interrupt during the process.
* * *
Hwa-ok looked at the front door of the golden closet with a serious
expression.
As soon as I left Baekhwaru, he came here right away, but there was a lot of work in the middle.
I had no idea that Haomen would come out so blatantly.
The infinite Haomundos openly obstructed the movement of the flame.
Of course, he didn’t touch his body or attack.
However, it took time by lining up and blocking the road or blocking the alley that had moved in a different direction with a cart.
In the end, we arrived at the golden closet, but half the time wasted
halfway through.
Hwa-ok noticed Jo Tae-joo’s plan.
Isn’t it strange that it comes out so blatantly that he didn’t know?
She slowly entered the gold closet. Then they headed to the residence of Taesan.
Not surprisingly, Byeoktaesan and Jo Taejoo were standing in front of the hall.
Jo Tae-joo gently turned his head to look at Hwa-ok. His lips rose slightly.
His eyes were full of laughter and ridicule.
Hwa-ok ignored his gaze and looked at Byeoktaesan.
Byeok Tae-san was holding a bundle of papers in his hand. It was information brought by Jo Tae-joo.
It was clear that it was the very information Hwa-ok had asked for from Jo Tae-joo.
Jo Tae-joo was convinced. Byeok Tae-san’s view of himself would have changed now.
Wouldn’t it be nice to work hard until now for that?
Jo Tae-joo clearly confirmed it while speaking hard earlier. Byeok Tae-san’s expression changes slightly.
That was undoubtedly an admiration.
“Our former head of Uichang has just arrived. It is really nice to see you after a long time.”
Jo Tae-joo lied without blinking an eye.
But it was so natural and sincere that even Hwa-ok, who knew the truth, thought for a moment that he might have seen someone else at Baekhwa-ru.
Hwa-ok approached quietly and bowed his head slightly to Byeok-taesan.
“I’m home.”
Hwa-ok hesitated for a moment, Iooking at Taesan. Didn’t know what to report.
If I reported it as it is, would Byeok Tae-san believe what I said? It seems that Jo Tae-joo was working hard to instill faith in Byeok Tae-san now, but if he told the truth, would he really believe it?
He had all sorts of thoughts.
Perhaps, if the opponent was not Byeoktaesan, he would have been able to make a decision quickly.
This time, by breaking the barrier that was blocking the ability, the ability he used before has grown to a higher level.
Beyond confirming the essence of the other person through the scene, he could now vaguely read the current state of mind.
However, there was nothing to be seen from Taesan.
It was like facing a black wall.
When Byeok Tae-san looked at Hwa-ok, he made a decision.
It doesn’t matter whether Byeok Tae-san believes in himself or not. What matters is how you feel and what you do.
“I bought rubbish information with a single bullion of gold.”
Byeok Tae-san laughed. Jo Tae-joo’s expression, judging it as a laugh, became a little brighter. And looked at Hwa-ok happily.
“He was the one who boiled tiger liver. Who did that?” Hwa-ok turned and looked at Jo Tae-joo.
“It’s that person.”
Jo Tae-joo looked at Mt. Byeok with a bewildered expression. Of course, it was also acting.
“Chief of Uichang, why are you here? Today I never met you… Aren’t you confused with someone else?” Jo Tae-joo said that and made a puzzled expression.
“Besides, the time is not right. If that was the case, the Uichang branch manager should have come here before me. You must have come to our Haomun Wuhan branch, that is, Baekhwaru, right?”
At Jo Tae-joo’s words, Hwa-ok bit his lip with an angry expression.
Byeok Tae-san saw it and stepped out.
“Okay. What do you see in this guy?”
Byeok Tae-san asked Hwa-ok.
Hwa-ok’s eyes widened slightly.
“It looks a little different to me, isn’t it? Can’t you see things a little different from before?”
“Ah… No, that’s right.”
Byeok Tae-san smiled and pointed at Jo Tae-joo with a chin.
“What do you see?”
“I see lust, ambition, deception, ridicule,”
Byeok Tae-san tilted his head.
“Ambition and deception, though… lust? What, were you aiming for the body from the beginning? Isn’t this guy crazy?”
Jo Tae-joo was really upset. Doesn’t Byeok Tae-san seem to believe in Hwa-ok’s nonsense? It shouldn’t be like this.
“Oh, Confucius…”
Byeok Tae-san raised his hand and stopped Jo Tae-joo’s words. He still hasn’t finished what he has to say.
“But what is a joke? Are you laughing at me now?”
Byeok Tae-san turned his head and looked at Jo Tae-joo. Jo Tae-joo’s heart sank in the cold and calm eyes that had subdued emotions.
“You mean you laughed at me because I was just listening?”
“Hey, Confucius! no! How can I! Do you really believe in that absurd statement?”
Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly.
“Then will you believe me? Only the second time you met? And the words of the guy who broke trust in the first place?”
Jo Tae-joo’s eyes widened. It was only now that he realized that Byeok Tae-san had not listened to a single word from the beginning.
Still, it’s too much to believe in Hwa-ok’s words.
Byeok Tae-san looked at Hwa-ok, not paying attention to what Jo Tae-joo was thinking or how he looked.
“It has become more useful.”
Hwa-ok smiled brightly and shook his head slightly.
“Thank you.”
All the worries and worries that had been firmly entrenched melted away.
He looked up at Mt. Byeoktaesan with happy eyes.
At that moment, Byeok Tae-san was putting his hand on the crown of Jo Tae-joo.
Jo Tae-joo was confused. And fear came rushing in. I struggled to get out, but from the moment Byeok Tae-san raised his hand, he couldn’t move his body at all.
Hwa-ok’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at it.
“Oh, Confucius. If you kill him right now, things get complicated.”
Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly.
“Why? Do you think you can’t fix it?”
Hwa-ok shook his head with determined eyes.
“no. I will definitely fix it.”
Jo Tae-joo’s complexion turned pale as he heard the conversation between the two.
“Sah, save me! Hey, Uichang Branch Manager! I was wrong! So please save me! Confucius! We will make sure this never happens again! I will dedicate the Haomen to Confucius with all my might! Please, please, save me!”
“It’s noisy. Just because you talk doesn’t change the outcome.”
Despair appeared on Jo Tae-joo’s face. I thought I was going to die now.
Of course, Byeok Tae-san didn’t care whether Jo Tae-joo was desperate or not. His gaze was directed to Hwa-ok.
“Look carefully.”
Byeok Tae-san pulled out the soul of Jo Tae-joo. Hwa-ok’s eyes became the size
of a candle.
