Chapter Index

    At that time, Seoul.

    Even though the capital of South Korea changed from Seoul to Busan, the country’s major infrastructure still remains in Seoul.

    Although everything has now been moved to Busan, the remaining government buildings in Seoul are closely managed by the government and military.

    And now, in the wee hours of the morning, at 3 a.m. when the subway is not running, Yeouido National Assembly Station is being controlled by suspicious men in black suits.

    To prevent even the homeless from entering the subway station, even agents with special abilities have stepped forward to block the entrance to the station, creating a restricted area where no one can enter.

    And the person inside the controlled area is none other than the president of this country, Tae Chae-jin.

    He opened the screen door of the National Assembly station with Hero Association President Jeong Ki-jo, went directly down to the railroad, and walked forward following the light of the Taegeuk Watch’s flashlight.

    Only the sound of shoes echoing underground.

    After walking for a while, the two soon discovered a dark-colored train illuminated by lights.

    “Is that….”

    “You two worked hard on the long way up.”

    A familiar voice.

    However, his tone of speech was polite, and his gait as he emerged from the shadows was also neat and quiet.

    “Grandfather. And the president of the association.”

    The person who appeared was King Taejo with black hair.

    It was clearly revealed that Taejo was ‘black’ in his appearance, dressed entirely in black from head to toe, but just by his actions and speech, it was immediately apparent what kind of Taejo he was.

    “I will take you inside.”

    When Taejo flicked his hand, a rail was laid with iron plates in front of them, and the president and the president of the association walked along the railroad made by Taejo and boarded the train.

    Click.

    After boarding the train relying on the flashlight of Taegeuk Watch, the president and the president of the association were astonished when they saw what was inside.

    “This….”

    “Is it really all gold?”

    “Yes. Yes.”

    It looks like a train, but it is actually a huge golden nugget in the shape of a train.

    When the door was closed and all access to the outside was closed, King Taejo removed the iron sand that covered the inside, revealing the interior sparkling with gold.

    “For camouflage purposes, the train carrying the idol group that joined was sent to Busan, and this train was brought here after pretending to be maintained separately at Seoul Station.”

    “I guess they didn’t get caught. That’s amazing. I never thought they would bring this from Sinuiju like this.”

    “It’s all thanks to Gwangikgong.”

    At Taejo’s words, the expressions of the president and the president of the association hardened.

    “…Okay. Gwangikgong. He showed up in person in Sinuiju.”

    That’s the information the world knows.

    However, because the information was known only to the president and the president of the association and not to King Taejo, the two could not say anything.

    They have already been communicating via text message without other people knowing.

    Is it true that Gwangikgong appeared?

    Can Gwangikgong be active now?

    And in the end, as a result of asking the person involved.

    “I never thought I would go to Sinuiju to help you.”

    He said he went to Sinuiju.

    It is said that Taejo had to deal with the Cheonma and Rasputin, and he had to deal with the Cheonma.

    “…Was it really Gwangikong?”

    “Yes. Where else can there be another Gwangikgong?”

    “Taejo. Is that true?”

    “Yes.”

    Taejo nodded casually.

    “If Gwang Ik-gong had not stepped forward himself, who else would have stepped forward? Is there anyone else in Korea, or even in the world, who can produce that much magic power and power, and who can defeat the Heavenly Demon with it, other than Gwangikgong?”

    “But Gwangikkong….”

    “……?”

    Taejo tilted his head for a moment at the glances of the two people, then blinked a few times and then closed them tightly.

    “I see…”

    I came to my own conclusion by asking myself questions.

    “Grandfather. President of the Association. Isn’t the important thing to let the world know that Gwangikgong is still alive and well?”

    Whatever the conclusion, it was more important to let people know that the existence of Gwangikgong is alive and well in the current world situation.

    “Why did Gwangikkong cover his face? Why did Gwangikgong come out with a new look and a hood? No matter how much I turned the satellite camera, I couldn’t see his face because he was wearing a hood. That’s not important at all.”

    “…right. What is more important is that the Heavenly Demon was blown away with one blow.”

    “No problem. …Well, honestly, from the manager’s point of view, I really want to know more, but wouldn’t the person concerned tell the story when the time comes.”

    “Keyjo: Didn’t I tell you too?”

    “Yes, Mr. President. It seems like some young friends are planning something nefarious.”

    The president and the president of the association looked at Taejo, but Taejo just shrugged his shoulders.

    “I don’t know anything.”

    “You know everything and yet you say such a thing. Sigh. Are you telling me to go around saying ‘the president didn’t know anything’ after the incident happened?”

    “Isn’t the suicide rate more important than the approval rating?”

    “Yes, it’s important. If the approval rating is lowered and the suicide rate is also lowered, what is the importance of the approval rating? Ugh.”

    The President pounded his chest in frustration.

    I understand the situation, but I’m still curious.

    “Good. Who is the Gwangyukgong? Is he really the Gwangyukgong? Let’s leave aside such questions. What’s important is this gold…how much is it?”

    “Total, it is approximately 500 tons.”

    “500 tons!”

    It’s a huge amount.

    Since it had the shape of a train, I thought it would be very heavy, but both the president and the president of the association’s mouths dropped at the sheer weight of it.

    “500 tons…is it almost 30 trillion in cash?”

    “It should be considered at least 30 trillion. If we can use this to create new added value… Haha, at least I don’t think there will be a shortage of gold for semiconductors.”

    “Uh huh. Association president. Why do you already think it’s the country’s money? This is the gold that Taejo mined.”

    At the president’s words, the president of the association narrowed his eyes and looked at the two grandsons alternately.

    “Are you trying to create a slush fund for your grandson? Cover my mouth?”

    “Can I take about 100 kg?”

    “What is 100kg? If you have 500 tons, you should give them at least one 1-ton truck.”

    “……Is it okay to carelessly exchange national property?”

    The president and the president of the association smiled shyly at Taejo’s words and stroked the gold inside the train with their awkward hands.

    “Just trying it out. Taejo, I think I did a good job entrusting it to you. If I had left it to others, I’m sure they would have stolen about 10%.”

    “That’s right. What is 10%? I may have stolen half of it. Everyone shared a few gold bars.”

    “…It’s not 10%, but about 10kg was stolen.”

    King Taejo took out 10 kg of gold from the wall.

    “Gwangikkong took 10kg of gold.”

    “Gwangikgong? No, if you’re going to take it, take more. Why are you only taking that? Are you trying to make a small gold statue?”

    “I guess I just took it in moderation. As a souvenir. Isn’t about 10kg just enough to fit in a sports bag?”

    “Well. Gwangikgong is said to be stealing gold because he is worried about money.”

    10 kg.

    Because it was such a small amount, the president and the president of the association did not think much of it.

    “Taejo. So where do you think this golden train should go?”

    “As long as it is not stolen, I think it is right to make all this gold national property.”

    “Um….”

    No one can steal it.

    Taejo, the president, and the president of the association.

    Even if it is stolen, if the amount is more than the 10 kg that Gwangikgong took, there will definitely be trouble.

    “First, let’s think more deeply about how to use it. Of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t keep it hidden underground in Yeouido, and we can’t bring it back to Sinuiju, so we’ll have to hide it in a place where no one can find it for the time being.”

    “Where can I move it? Moving along the railroad tracks won’t be noticeable to others. If you just pick a location, I will run straight to that station.”

    “Go to Busan first. And the military base in Busan… Sigh, if you put it in a military base, there will be people who will try to lick the gold dust with their tongues.”

    The President scratched his head in confusion.

    “Well, even if something called gold is created, it’s a problem. It’s hidden like this right now, but as time passes, this gold’s true identity will be revealed.”

    “…If you’re worried about me, don’t worry.”

    Taejo clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.

    ” King Taejo, I will continue to keep silent for the sake of the country’s well-being and peace. There will be no more frivolous talk in the future.”

    “……?”

    “Okay, thank you. Taejo.”

    The President tilted his head for a moment, and the Association President grinned, tapping the gold with his hand.

    “Taejo, you…?”

    “I’ll tell you more later, grandfather.”

    “…….”

    The President’s eyes fluttered slightly, but soon he closed his eyes heavily and turned his head to the side.

    “I see. If so…”

    There were slightly tears in the corners of his eyes.

    “I understand. If that is what you mean, then you should do it. First of all, if there is a safe place, it would be the basement of a trustworthy hero’s house.”

    “…President?”

    “Ah, well. Wouldn’t it be right for someone to replace or manage this golden train in case of emergency?”

    “Still…huh. All right. King Taejo said that he does not talk about this train carelessly, so I believe him.”

    The president of the association cleared his throat and lowered his head.

    “But if the world finds out about this gold, what would you like to say then? Everyone knows that resources are depleted in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. If they find out that there are this many resources left, they will continue to fight even if Gwangikgong steps forward.”

    “That’s right. You might think that there are enough resources left for Gwangikong to step forward. …then. Let’s make it a one-time event.”

    The president touched his chin, tapped his Taegeuk watch, and hung three hologram photos on one side of the vehicle.

    “Wouldn’t this be a good excuse to explain the identity of this golden nugget?”

    “…….”

    “What. why. What.”

    The president grinned casually at the association president’s gaze.

    “They say the Nazis also hid the Golden Train, isn’t that a perfect excuse?”

    The three photos were of three obese men whose faces looked suspiciously similar.

    “Roughly speaking, it was a slush fund that was accumulated illegally by sucking the blood of the people.”
