“No problem?”

The bearded man frowned at Lim Seo-ryeon. Lim Seo-ryeon thought that this behavior, which had previously seemed scary, was like a wild animal threatening to avoid having its food taken away. It was such an amazing thing.

“Does that make sense now? uh? I sent you for inspection because there was evidence, but there were no problems with the documents? If you don’t have it, you should at least make it and bring it! uh? If you do this, what will happen to Venerable Geumbok, who gave you valuable information, and what will happen to me, who entrusted the job to you?”

When I was suffering from the obsession that I should not be kicked out of the Murim Alliance under the name of the Hangsan Sect, those eyes looked like a tiger or wolf, but now that I look at it, it was a threat no worse than a neighborhood dog.

She didn’t understand it herself. Have you been struggling with such a trivial thing until now? Have you lived your life being rattled by such an insignificant person?

“Inspector Lim Seo-ryeon! If you have a mouth, speak! Aren’t you embarrassed to be called the Kirin of the Xiangshan School? I made another mistake this time… .”

“It was because it was a giraffe.”

Lim Seo-ryun’s words sounded like nonsense to the man. He narrowed his eyebrows and raised his voice to Lim Seo-ryeon.

“Are you asking me to answer Zen questions now? How do I take responsibility for this situation… .”

Lim Seo-ryun did not listen to the man any more. She cut her words sharply, as if she were writing herbivorously.

“How can you call yourself a Kirin by accusing an innocent person? How can you call yourself a follower of the Xiangshan School?”

“What, what is it?”

“You asked how I would take responsibility. I will quit. I want to go back to the Anti-Sweet School, so if you want to send a letter to my teacher, feel free to do so.”

“This, this bitch!”

Lim Seo-ryeon turned around with the man in front of her. The sound of the door closing rang loudly. The man left alone had a venomous look on his face, but there was nothing he could do. Because she had lingering feelings about her position as the Murim Alliance’s inspector, she was able to control and shake him. The moment she let go of that slight authority, the man was unable to do anything to Seo-Ryeon Lim.

The man looked down at the documents.

[As a result of verifying the ledgers of the Hongryun faction, it was concluded that there were no abnormalities and that the information of Geumbokjonja was incorrect.]

“Aaaa!”

The man threw the document away with his face turning bright red.

“Subzero. Long time no see.”

Lim Seo-ryeon’s adjutant. The youngest of the Zhuge family. Zhuge subzero. He was sitting on the street in front of the branch with a deep worry on his face. The sight of a man with a rather smooth appearance rubbing his chin and contemplating his thoughts was enough to attract attention, and the man who recognized him waved his hand and said hello.

He joined the Murim Alliance around the same time and started working there. Youngha bowed to the man and said.

“Large. It’s been a while.”

The man wrapped his arms around Youngha’s shoulders and smiled.

“That’s right. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other like this. How about going to a trip together? I heard that your family’s eldest brother is also playing in Giru right now. Let’s go and say hello together. I’ll give you a treat. There is a rumor that courtesans came to Giru this time with fair-looking clothes.”

Youngha smiled bitterly and shook his head. And he said this.

“Thank you for your kind words, but it is large. The stoma is fine.”

When Youngha declined, the man spoke in a stronger tone.

“Uh huh, how easy is it for us to see each other like this? You’re busy following the inspector, and I’m busy being held here. Since we are both relaxed like this, wouldn’t it be right to have a drink at a time like this?”

“Then, now that you’re done, why don’t you go here and have a light drink.”

It was a place where the fleshy hostess greeted customers warmly and encouraged them. The man nodded and spoke at Youngha’s words.

“Yes, it’s not a bad idea to have a quick meal and then part ways. More than that, what is it like with the inspector general these days? The woman called the Giraffe of anti-midwives. Contrary to its name, it is rumored that Young is clumsy at work.”

Youngha smiled bitterly.

******

“You are a woman who has no answers.”

“That’s right. You shouldn’t do things this way just because you’re brave enough… . Since the inspection results showed that there were no problems and the documents were thrown away, it became difficult to send the inspector down again.”

As the bearded old man frowned and spoke, the middle-aged man nodded. They clearly seemed troubled by the incident committed by Lim Seo-ryun this time. He said, holding a teacup in his hand.

“Now we can no longer conduct inspections. There is no justification, is there? If there is talk of sending inspections down until the desired results are obtained, who will accept the inspection results? Venerable Geumbok wanted to handle things quietly, but things got messy.”

“There are ways to turn it back. It’s already too early to jump to conclusions.”

“Do you mean there is a way?”

The old man said, stroking his beard.

“Even if the guy who preyed on the Hongryun faction is of high power, he is at best third-rate. There is also a way to get rid of it without even a rat or bird knowing by contacting the party gate.”

The middle-aged man looked reluctant.

“I heard that his martial arts skills are third-rate, but even if he hits well, he is second-rate. Are you even contacting the party gate to get rid of such a guy? Moreover, the timing is not good. If you pass the inspection and suddenly die young, it will not be a good publicity.”

“Then what?”

“Killing by ‘accident’. How many times have you done this?”

The old man tilted his head at the word accident. However, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stroked his beard and smiled happily.

“Uh-huh! I know what you mean, yeah. In that way, both Venerable Geumbok and we can be satisfied.”

“Yes. Get rid of that annoying bastard with this and forget about it. Hehehe!”

********

“I’m sorry to say this, but she’s a really annoying woman. This time, they said they would quit their job as inspectors altogether, so what happens to you, Young-ha?”

Youngha nodded and smiled at the man’s words. The smiling face was full of deep sorrow.

“I was a bit disturbed and worried about that. I came here to raise the family name, but it feels like I’ve been blown away.”

“Right? There’s no need to follow a woman who doesn’t know how to take responsibility, right? You are still a talented person with a bright future ahead.”

“This is too much praise. large. I’m still not good enough.”

The man looked around and lowered his voice.

“So, if you go back to your family like this, wouldn’t you have to take on some work in the Murim Alliance to be able to see your family?”

Youngha’s eyes widened at those words.

“Is something happening?”

The man smiled with a triumphant expression.

“Since the inspection failed to kill Moonju of the Hongryun faction, it seems like the higher ups are making other plans. If I just step back like this, I won’t lose face with Venerable Geumbok, so my intention is to deal with it quietly in another way.”

Youngha looked embarrassed by the man’s words, but quickly corrected his expression. Then, after looking around, he leaned down and said.

“Please tell me in more detail.”

The man said with a satisfied expression on his face at this sub-zero temperature.

“It’s good to be proactive.”

Youngha seemed taken aback by those words for a moment, but then smiled again.

“Isn’t this how everyone goes out for the first time?”

“Okay, whatever, if you cooperate well, we’ll be happy. therefore. Listen. It’s a non-stage competition. They hold a martial arts competition, and when he participates in it, they kill him in an ‘accident’. Since it happens frequently, there is no need to raise suspicion, and the other party is planning to include someone from Safa, so there is no need for sparks to fly on our side.”

“Isn’t it okay if Moonju doesn’t participate?”

“It’s not that easy. Because no one knows how he defeated Hongryun Sect’s Munju. According to what I heard, after he entered Munju’s quarters, a very painful scream was heard. Is there any way to know whether he made a sneak attack or fought fair?”

“There is no one but me.”

“That’s right. So, I’m going to hang on to that point. There are rumors going around that he secretly attacked Munju in a very cowardly manner and took his place unfairly. To prove it, go to this dance competition and show your skills.”

“So, the plan is to use that as an excuse to capture Munju if he does not participate, and kill him by accident if he participates.”

“That’s right. Count that. It’s a very thorough plan.”

“So what is my role?”

The man showed a sly smile.

Youngha’s gaze gradually calmed down as he looked at the man.

******

In the author’s back alley, a woman was waiting for someone with her arms crossed. She seemed to be timing the time by snapping her fingers. The face, hidden behind boxes and miscellaneous items, caught the sound of rushing footsteps and straightened up.

For a moment, the face of her adjutant, Youngha, passed before her eyes. He acted as if he didn’t know that Lim Seo-ryeon was standing next to him.

Lim Seo-ryun looked at the alley he had passed. In the corner of the alley, I could see a small note left behind.

Lim Seo-ryeon picked up the note and walked briskly.

The contents of the note were as follows.

[We need to prepare for the secret martial arts competition. We were instructed to be more thorough as there may be an accident.]

“….Starting from the small things. That’s right.”

That alone was enough information.
