Of course, I didn’t want to meet him now.

First, after solving everything that is in front of you.

After that, I thought it wouldn’t be too late to think about it slowly.

I kept the information about Haejin in my mind for a while.

But it was a little strange.

Natural enemy… There was something holding me back from saying that.

At most, Ahn Hae-jin had the ability to squirt liquid.

Although they said it nullified my regenerative ability, I wasn’t done with regeneration.

Basically, your body is strong, and the more you fight, the less pain you feel.

When it reaches a near-death state, overwhelming monstrous power surges.

I was an invincible enemy of such abilities and there was no way I would pay attention to them.

I thought it would be okay to think that just as I was hiding something, they were also hiding something.

“Ah, Mr.”

I scratched my head.

It was because my head was so complicated that I felt like I was going to die of boredom.

It wasn’t just a matter of worrying about the saint.

I frowned, but then managed my expression. Oh Han-young and Kang-gil were walking from afar.

Both were dressed in ordinary clothes. It seemed like he was dressed appropriately for the weather.

“Nice to meet you, teacher.”

Oh Han-young came closer and held out his hand.

I held his hand and shook it. I could understand why these two were here.

He’s probably trying to be friendly with me.

Now I see that the barricade was also part of the Ministry of Defense.

And because the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense overlapped in their work, the relationship between them was not very good.

So, it felt like brothers.

In fact, the Minister of Public Security and the Minister of National Defense said they were family members.

Did you say that they are people who have been working hard even before the Jinju Citizens’ Union was established?

Although he is considered a hero here, he is not very credible.

Even if he was a hero of the marauder faction, he would be good at killing people.

First of all, I felt like I should organize my thoughts here.

I stood across from Kang-gil and Park Kang-chan.

Even though Kang Gil was my superior at the same Ministry of Public Security, he was my friend now.

I couldn’t tolerate staring or anything like that.

When I glared at him with all that determination, Kang-gil made an annoyed expression.

When I saw that expression, I felt really sad.

Who told you to say no?

Then this time, Oh Han-young blocked the space between me and Kang-gil.

The place was the place, and I had no choice but to step back because they looked like they were asking if I could just tolerate it for a little while.

If it had been anywhere else, it might have been, but this was City Hall.

I don’t mind, but it was clear that Park Kang-chan would get caught up in it.

I had to blend in comfortably until I got the information, so I decided to leave it at that.

Only then did Oh Han-young smile as if she was relieved, and then slowly opened her mouth.

“For reference, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense sit in the same area.”

“… Ah.”

“The ministers say they distinguish between public and private affairs, but family is still family. You know what it feels like, right?”

“So, you want to sit together? The seat next to me is definitely Park Kang-chan. It will only be one of the two. Right?”

“You seem to care about your people very much.”

Oh Han-young grumbled that he was jealous.

Kang Gil looked at Oh Han-young for a moment, then briefly cursed and walked in the other direction.

It didn’t seem like there was any discord between the two or anything like that.

It was clear that both were in a cooperative relationship.

They will maintain a strong relationship by providing what each other lacks.

The rational Oh Han-young assisted the hot-tempered Kang-gil, and the relatively weak Oh Han-young seemed to be under Kang-gil’s protection.

He probably cursed at me like that because he thought I was a bad person.

To be honest, I was dissatisfied, but I couldn’t help it.

I don’t know about Kang Gil, but Oh Han-young needed to narrow the distance a little.

The reason was simple. Oh Han-young was the person who would spread my rumor further.

Perhaps this guy also knew the value of information.

Thanks to this, you must have saved a lot of money in the last few days.

Since the invasion of Busan was virtually certain, everyone would be busy looking for information about Busan.

Even if the decision is made by the National Assembly before proceeding, it is important to obtain information first.

I shook my head. Assuming that about five or six saints arrived, it seemed like each department was trying to recruit saints in some way.

Although it is called a department, it is a gathering of small marauding forces.

Since they can immediately turn into plunderers, there will be no shortage of people targeting Congo goods.

If you have information, you can make a profit without suffering any damage.

And if we assume that all the saints here are somehow connected to other departments.

I felt like my value had increased significantly now.

Since you escaped Busan for the last time, you probably think that the information you have is of great value.

Above all, I wonder if it is connected to other forces.

The person next to me was none other than Park Kang-chan, a member of the Public Security Department.

It is said to be delicious food that no one has ever touched.

Well, that wasn’t all. To be honest, my value was much greater than that of other saints.

Well, I happen to have connections with almost everyone in Busan.

Kang Si-woo, the representative of the campus faction, relies on me.

Noh Chang-hoon, a capable officer who calls each other idiots, is also secretly relying on me.

The church powers and other places felt sick of talking.

It was obvious that if I said even one correct word, the parliament would be overturned.

But since I can’t do that, I just sit quietly at the table and wait.

“Hmm.”

“What’s going on, sister?”

“No.”

As if my thoughts were roughly correct, the saints were sitting in different seats.

It was surprising that it was evenly distributed.

To be honest, I thought one power would have it all to themselves.

Although there were often departments that did not exist at all, the balance of power seemed to be roughly in line.

At least it didn’t seem to be rotten at all.

He must be someone who knows that division here too is dangerous.

I calmly rested my chin and looked ahead.

Before long, the parliament session began.

The Congress had more procedures than expected.

The atmosphere was seemingly quiet, but…

Some people seemed to think this was just a joke.

There were quite a few people chatting and joking around without disturbing the council.

Of course, it seemed like a high-ranking civil servant could do that.

Low-ranking civil servants were transfixed and listening to the agenda presented to the National Assembly.

I looked at it for a moment, then skipped it over.

Anyway, it seemed like the important issues I would consider now would not come out until a long time later.

So I focused my attention on the directions I had memorized a while ago, and that choice was valid.

“Then, from now on, we will recruit people by department.”

The host slowly started calling out people’s names, saying they were recommended people.

Sometimes those people were here, sometimes they weren’t.

It seemed like most people who were at a high or advanced level were here. You’ll be sitting comfortably.

However, all the low-ranking people were standing or walking from outside, saying hello and then disappearing.

And how long has it been?

Before we knew it, the host had called in people who were qualified to specially apply to each department.

Of course, that person included me.

Following the host’s instructions, I slowly stood up.

Unlike the person who had been called before, there seemed to be no need to go forward and say hello or provide support.

Everyone must have recognized my worth, and all their meaningful eyes were focused on me.

I thought for a moment.

And finally, I changed my mind and opened my mouth.

“I would like to apply to the Ministry of National Defense.”

“I understand. Mr. Minister of National Defense. Will you accept her offer?”

The Minister of Defense nodded.

After summarizing the situation, the moderator asked for applause by saying that I now belong to the Ministry of National Defense.

I sat down slowly. The reason I changed my mind at the last minute was simple.

Although the Ministry of Public Security overlapped with the Ministry of National Defense, it was focused solely on the Citizens’ Union.

However, the Ministry of National Defense could leave to invade other powers in case of emergency.

When I think about my lie that I came here because I wanted revenge on Busan…

As expected, the Ministry of Defense seemed to be better than the Ministry of Public Security.

To be honest, I thought others would refute or cause an uproar, but the council was quieter than I expected.

No, it seemed like everyone had already let me go.

From the moment I sat down, I knew it would be the Ministry of Defense or the Ministry of Public Security, so it was worth it.

However, that did not mean that I would only do the work of the Ministry of National Defense.

It was natural that I would have to continue collecting data, so I planned to wander around when I could.

For that, Oh Han-young from the Ministry of Public Security was essential.

I grumbled as I looked at Oh Han-young, who looked surprised.

“Of course, patrolling is good, but… I like it best to be at the forefront in times of emergency.”

“I knew the teacher would do that, but I didn’t know it would really happen.”

“Because we will invade anyway. Are you disappointed?”

“No, that can’t be possible. I was impressed by your insight.”

Chit-chat continued without breaking the mood of the council.

After some effort, I was able to get the answer I wanted from Oh Han-young.

It’s a bit annoying, but they said they would connect me with a civil servant who would answer the question of whether I could participate in the patrol as I please.

Perhaps that civil servant sees me as his boss, and that boss sees me as another boss.

It seemed like they would continue to connect me upwards like that, and then connect me to the Minister of Public Security.

It may be a bit cumbersome, but it doesn’t seem to matter as long as you manage your time well.

And the boring parliament continued.

Except for a few testimonies along the way, I memorized the surrounding geography.

So much so that Oh Han-young looked at him with interest.

After working hard for a few tens of minutes, I was able to memorize the map just as the assembly was ending.
