chapter 22

nLife was mundane for a while.
nTaesan still went to the brothel every night and cured his heartbeat with the magical spell.
nIt seemed like a life that didn’t change at all from the outside.
nHowever, Taesan was paying attention to it.
nHe was trying to get rid of factors that bothered the peaceful, quiet life shortly.
nTwo places were involved with Taesan.
nThe first was the Jong family, and the second was the brothel.
nThere was no movement yet with the Jong family, but he had to check if there was no movement.
nAlso, the brothel was one of the groups that were trying to attack Taesan directly.
nTo be exact, it was the connecting point for the attack.
nHe was intensively investigating that part as well.
nThe doctor’s people were researching it.
nThen, Taesan looked at what they found.
nTaesan checked all the documents and looked at the doctor after throwing it on the table.
n“Is that it?”
nThe doctor gave a sad face as he sensed that Taesan was not satisfied.
n“Honestly, there wasn’t much time to investigate. Information isn’t something you can pick up like a stone on the ground. Many procedures are starting from planning out.”
nTaesan laughed.
n“Do I need to know that?”
nThe doctor closed his mouth as he had nothing to say.
nTaesan was correct. Why would a superior who gave orders need to know about that? The ones who work should know about it.
nThe doctor felt creeped out as he sensed something familiar when he talked with Taesan.
nHonestly, Taesan was just a rich young prince from a Clan, but it felt like talking to a superior.
n“Perhaps, you are used to the life here.”
n“Sorry? What do you mean……”
nThe doctor’s eyes were shaking in nervousness.
n“You seem like you are too comfortable.”
n“No way. Not at all. Do you know how much I work? I feel tired healing Gyeongwan and Yoo, who train every day. It’s not easy to make the golden medicine. I’m always short on time.”
n“So, do you want me to split your body into two?”
n“Wow, your jokes are too much. Please don’t. When you do that… it reminds me of what happened in the past.”
n“Yeah? You used to cause trouble, huh?”
n“What trouble? I used to be a genius that people gave credit to. Everyone said I’m the best in the medical field. However,…. At that time, I was having a hard time in fear.”
nTaesan laughed.
nThat’s because he knew what the doctor was talking about.
nIn Cheonma’s religion, there was harsh training for new entrants in any organization.
nThey would wake up middle of sleep, remembering the memory.
n“So, I hope you understand me.”
nTaesan laughed while looking at the doctor’s confident face.
nThat laugh made the doctor very nervous. There was coexistence between the laugh and the bad memory.
n“Why do you need four staff to cure Gyeongwan and Yoo? You can do it alone.”
n“Sorry?”
n“If you sent those four staff to gather information, you would probably get the desired result. Am I wrong?”
nThe doctor opened his eyes widely and took a deep breath.
nHe wanted to say it was wrong. But he knew he shouldn’t say such a thing.
nHonestly, Taesan was right.
nWhen the doctor’s twelve staff worked together, they always made optimal outcomes.
nThe doctor thought of excuses to make and looked at Taesan.
nHowever, looking at Taesan’s eyes made the doctor to not think of any excuses.
n‘Damn, he knows everything. His eyes know it all.’
nThe doctor lowered his head and spoke.
n“I will.”
n“Are you the only ones who collect information?”
n“Sorry?”
nThe doctor opened his eyes widely and looked at Taesan. Then, he couldn’t hide his anxiousness.
n“Is there anyone who is lost like you?”
nThe doctor’s eyes were shaking endlessly.
nHe couldn’t get a hold of his feelings.
nIt was certain that the Taesan knew a lot of the religion, but he didn’t know the details he should know as he talked.
n‘Well, no way.’
nAt that moment, there was someone who was like that, but the doctor forgot about it.
nThat was really an absurd thought.
n“As far as I know, there isn’t anyone. I honestly don’t know.”
nTaesan nodded his head.
n“Well, you said you manage them separately?”
nNormally, it was normal not to remember it as you let it go, but, in such cases, there was a detailed memory.
nCheonma religion dispatched organizations all over the world to gather information.
nEach group disguised into many occupations, and the doctor was one of them.
nHe heard there were other doctors other than doctors from God. Taesan didn’t know who they were.
nAlso, there were clans and companies operated by the Cheonma religion.
nNow, they must be all in panic.
nIf nothing happens, it won’t be bad for them.
nSince they didn’t say they worked for the Cheonma religion, they could live normally.
nNow, it wasn’t normal.
nThat was why nobody knew when they would be involved in any case. If there was a big fight, they could be involved at any time.
nThat was why the doctor was nervous.
n‘That part should be recalled…..’
nTaesan didn’t get a proper detailed report, so he almost didn’t know the detailed parts as it was an abstract report.
nWhen he was Cheonma, he didn’t have to know such things.
n“I look forward to it.”
nTaesan waved his hand after commenting.
nThe doctor bowed and left.
nTaesan quietly checked his body quietly.
nIt was quite good. Of course, it was a trashy body, but it was way better than the beginning.
n‘I still got more to go.’
nHe should connect his heartbeat at least.
nIn order to do so, Taesan must continue to visit the brothel. Also, he needed to train his magical spell.
nWhile planning like that, he was quietly training the magical spell today, but he sensed something approaching from afar.
nThe energy was heading towards him. It meant someone was visiting Taesan.
nIt was not dangerous or not effective if he quit the magical spell in the middle, but it didn’t feel good to stop in the middle, so he decided to train after meeting the person.
nThe person who approached was a manager who came up with the news.
n“…Wants to see me at the tourney hall?”
n“Yes, My Prince.”
nThe manager replied, and cautiously looked at Taesan’s face.
nIt wasn’t sure why, but it was hard for the manager to see Taesan.
nHonestly, it wasn’t this uncomfortable for the manager when he saw Master Byeok.
n“He said he wouldn’t be coming here, but he wants me to visit. Right?”
n“Yes, My Prince. That’s correct.”
n“You know who is at the tourney hall right now?”
n“Yes. Someone sent from the Jong family.”
n“I don’t think so. The person from the Jong family would say, ‘Nice to meet you.’ Don’t you think?”
n“That’s why I’m trying to invite a person to protect you.”
n“It’s good to have many people who want to protect me.”
nTaesan laughed.
n“So, who is it?”
n“It’s not confirmed yet. I hope there will be a good result as we are trying our best to convince him.”
nThe manager spoke after taking a pause.
n“It’s Gyeongchoo from the Seom clan.”
n“Seom clan?”
nTaesan tilted his head. It was an unknown name.
nActually, if Taesan remembered the name, it meant that person had great skill.
nHow many people were remembered by Cheonma in this world?
n“He is quite famous. If he joins you, the Jong family won’t be able to plan something big.”
nThe reason why Gyeongchoo was recruited was that he could be scouted with cash.
n“Also, we are trying to recruit Gal as well.”
nGal also had similar name values.
n“Honestly, I want to hire both, but I will try to hire one at least.”
nTaesan frowned.
n“No need.”
nHowever, the manager was firm.
n“We need it. You can’t underestimate the Jong family.”
n“I know they are sly, but still, no need.”
nSaying they were sly made the manager’s face pale.
n“You can’t say such a thing. It will be a problem if they hear that.”
n“Anyway, I have two guards with me, so I don’t need unknown warriors.”
n“You may not know this, but they are famous.”
nThe manager stayed stubborn, so Taesan nodded.
n“Do as you wish. Still, if they show off, then I won’t have the patience to stand that.”
n“They won’t. They are getting paid for it. It’s an issue of accepting the offer or not, so it will be fine.”
nThe manager spoke confidently and spoke cautiously.
n“If you don’t provoke them first.”
nTaesan laughed.
n“Why should I provoke them? I’m not interested in picking fights with mediocre guys. Unless it is the senior man from the martial world.”
n“Hahahaha! You have strong guts. You gave me a good laugh after a while. Hahahaha!”
nThe manager took Taesan’s comment as a joke with lots of exaggeration.
n“Anyway, it reminds me of what you often said when you were young.”
n“When I was young?”
n“Yes. Don’t you remember?”
n“I don’t remember.”
n‘That time, I wasn’t myself.’ Taesan looked at the manager with curiosity.
n“At that time, you told me. I will catch Cheonma when I grow up. Hahaha. At that time, you were very cute.”
nTaesan’s face became serious.
n“Who….is catching who?”
n“You don’t seem to remember. Well, you were four years old at the time.”
n“A four-year-old dared to do what?”
n“Hahahaha. You were still young. Well… you became ill, and I couldn’t hear such energetic comments since then… Still, I hope you will get better soon. You did get better.”
n“Well…….”
n“I’m sure you will get better. You already experienced the doctor, so you probably know. We are still looking for better doctors, so don’t lose hope.”
n“I understand. Stop saying something obvious.”
n“Hahaha. Okay. I’m going to head off.”
nAs the manager left by greeting Taesan, Taesan tapped the table with his fingers while making an odd face.
n“A brave kid dares to catch me?”
nTaesan laughed.
nIt felt very odd.
n“Well, it was past, so is it important right now?”
nWhat will happen was more important.
nThere were a total of 20 people from the Jong family staying in the tourney hall.
nTwelve of them knew martial arts.
nTaesan had more detailed information than what the manager knew.
nIt was one of the pieces of information brought by the doctor.
nTaesan moved his lip angle.
n“Jong family….a piece of cake.”
