Chapter 88

nHwa-ok realized that something inside him had been broken.

nSleeping with Taesan last night was really special.

nTo be honest, his memory was hazy. Only vaguely remained in his mind that I was drowning in the swamp of great pleasure.

nAnd he definitely felt it yesterday. Taesan’s heart.

nHe felt how careful and tender he was, and how much he cared for him.

nTo 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.

nIn any case, that feeling was definitely etched in his memory and heart.

n“I’m sure everyone is doing this.’

nHwa-ok now understands why Danyeong and other quarrels for Taesan. They probably felt the same way.

nHwa-ok closed his eyes, placed his hand on his chest, and pressed it gently.

nSomething solid inside him broke because of last night’s experience.

nIt was like breaking an egg.

nHwa-ok knew from a young age that he was different from ordinary people.

nOtherwise, there would be no way to see what others couldn’t.

nAnd from that moment on, he naturally recognized that something that gave him the ability to see something different from what the others can see.

nBut he has no idea what it was.

nIt broke this time, what he originally knew was wrong. It wasn’t the hard thing inside that gave him that kind of power.

nRather, it was an obstacle that was blocking his ability. It was a big rock blocking the waterway.

nAnd it was shattered when he spent overnight with Taesan.

nThe barrier blocking the way was neatly evaporated in a huge fire.

nIt was the first time in his life that Hwa-ok was so refreshed.

nHe opened his eyes And I looked around the hall where Byeoktaesan was staying.

nHe realized once again what a great person I was serving.

nHwa-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.

nHe left the golden closet and headed for Baekhwaru.

n* * *

nHwa-ok arrived at Baekhwa-ru and found a familiar person.

n“Oh, who is this? Aren’t you the former Uichang branch manager who abandoned us and changed ships?”

nJo Tae-joo came over with a smile on his face.

nHe came to Baekhwaru to gather information and come up with a countermeasure after he was devastated by Byeoktaesan.

nI checked what Byeok Tae-san had instructed Hao-mun, and I was thinking about how to change Byeok-taesan’s heart.

nBut in the meantime, Hwa-ok came here.

nAs Jo Tae-joo is the son of Hao Moon-ju, he was able to check most of the information flowing through Hao-mun.

nIn any case, it was because he was the most influential next-generation Hao Moon-ju.

nHowever, not all Mundos of Haomun supported Jo Tae-joo. There were quite a few people who disliked Jo Tae-joo.

nOf course, I didn’t reveal it.

nHwa-ok was also one of those who disliked Jo Tae-joo, and so was Baek Hwa-ru.

nJo Tae-joo’s eyes lit up and looked up and down the Hwa-ok.

n“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?”

nWhen Hwa-ok showed no reaction, Jo Tae-joo asked.

n“We’re not even Haomen people anymore, what are you doing here?”

n“I came to check how far the work that Confucius had instructed us to go. We also check the recent situation in Wuhan.”

nJo Tae-joo’s expression was slightly distorted.

n“Our Haomun. Since when did Byeok Tae-san become private?”

nHwa-ok frowned and looked at Jo Tae-joo.

nJo Tae-joo continued to speak while glaring at Hwa-ok.

n“Hey, Uichang Branch Manager. Are you really going to turn your back on Hao-Mun?”

nHwa-ok didn’t even feel worth responding to.

nIn his eyes, it was clear that Jo Tae-joo was enveloped in jealousy and desire.

n“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?”

nHwa-ok was ignorant on the inside.

nDoesn’t it seem as if he took it for granted that he would later become the master of the gate?

nThe possibility is high, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

nIn this situation, if Jo Tae-joo made a few big mistakes, he could have been dismissed quickly.

nAnd it turns out he was making that mistake now.

nWhen Hwa-ok didn’t say anything, Jo Tae-joo laughed as if he had taken it in a positive way.

n“The information I mentioned earlier is on the table over there, so make it yourself. What It seems nothing, though.”

nHwa-ok went to Seo-tak, which Jo Tae-joo was pointing to, without saying a word.

nThen, he picked up the cluttered papers one by one.

nYou can’t just bring this to Byeoktaesan. Checking and organizing were essential.

nHwa-ok checked the contents first.

nIt didn’t take long for her expression to harden.

n“What is this?”

n“what?”

n“Why is there so much information? Have you stolen any key information?”

n“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?”

nHwa-ok put the documents he had organized and put them back on the desk.

n“This is information that doesn’t need Haomun’s help, so I’ll just leave it alone.”

nJo Tae-joo blocked Hwa-ok.

n“What else are we going to do with this?”

n“If you read the information, you have to pay.”

n“Are you going to pay for all that rubbish?”

n“I decide whether it is garbage or not. And you saw it.”

nHwa-ok’s expression hardened.

n“Whoa. good. So how much do you want?”

n“There were a total of thirteen high-quality information… Cheaply, only sixty-four gold.”

nHwa-ok looked at Jo Tae-joo who is being shameless.

n“Now… Are you trying to build a gold wall top and chuck?”

n“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?”

nHwa-ok roughly guessed what Jo Tae-joo was going to do.

nIt was the intention to separate himself from Taesan.

nPerhaps 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.

nThat was Jo Tae-joo’s specialty.

nHe has the ability to persuade.

nHe was able to sm hake someone’s heart by putting emotion into words.

nIf Jo Tae-joo succeeds in defeating him, he will do the same to the others around Mt. Byeoktaesan.

n“By the way… Do you have the money to pay sixty gold? If not, You would have to pay by selling your body.”

nJo Tae-joo’s eyes gleamed like snakes. From the moment he saw Hwa-ok today, he was full of lust.

nHwa-ok pulled out a long, thick gold bar from his sleeve.

nIt was a gold ingot that was likely to exceed a hundred yang.

nJo Tae-joo’s eyes widened and grabbed the gold reflexively.

n“You made a mistake.” Hwa-ok said and left.

nJo Tae-joo glared at Hwa-ok’s back, squeezing the gold in his hands.

n“Now, shall we hurry and visit Taesan?”

nJo Tae-joo stroked his arms once. It contained information that was originally intended to be given to Byeoktaesan.

nHis body quickly turned towards the gold closet.

nIt will probably arrive sooner if only Hwa-ok did not interrupt during the process.

n* * *

nHwa-ok looked at the front door of the golden closet with a serious

nexpression.

nAs soon as I left Baekhwaru, he came here right away, but there was a lot of work in the middle.

nI had no idea that Haomen would come out so blatantly.

nThe infinite Haomundos openly obstructed the movement of the flame.

nOf course, he didn’t touch his body or attack.

nHowever, it took time by lining up and blocking the road or blocking the alley that had moved in a different direction with a cart.

nIn the end, we arrived at the golden closet, but half the time wasted

nhalfway through.

nHwa-ok noticed Jo Tae-joo’s plan.

nIsn’t it strange that it comes out so blatantly that he didn’t know?

nShe slowly entered the gold closet. Then they headed to the residence of Taesan.

nNot surprisingly, Byeoktaesan and Jo Taejoo were standing in front of the hall.

nJo Tae-joo gently turned his head to look at Hwa-ok. His lips rose slightly.

nHis eyes were full of laughter and ridicule.

nHwa-ok ignored his gaze and looked at Byeoktaesan.

nByeok Tae-san was holding a bundle of papers in his hand. It was information brought by Jo Tae-joo.

nIt was clear that it was the very information Hwa-ok had asked for from Jo Tae-joo.

nJo Tae-joo was convinced. Byeok Tae-san’s view of himself would have changed now.

nWouldn’t it be nice to work hard until now for that?

nJo Tae-joo clearly confirmed it while speaking hard earlier. Byeok Tae-san’s expression changes slightly.

nThat was undoubtedly an admiration.

n“Our former head of Uichang has just arrived. It is really nice to see you after a long time.”

nJo Tae-joo lied without blinking an eye.

nBut 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.

nHwa-ok approached quietly and bowed his head slightly to Byeok-taesan.

n“I’m home.”

nHwa-ok hesitated for a moment, Iooking at Taesan. Didn’t know what to report.

nIf 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?

nHe had all sorts of thoughts.

nPerhaps, if the opponent was not Byeoktaesan, he would have been able to make a decision quickly.

nThis time, by breaking the barrier that was blocking the ability, the ability he used before has grown to a higher level.

nBeyond confirming the essence of the other person through the scene, he could now vaguely read the current state of mind.

nHowever, there was nothing to be seen from Taesan.

nIt was like facing a black wall.

nWhen Byeok Tae-san looked at Hwa-ok, he made a decision.

nIt doesn’t matter whether Byeok Tae-san believes in himself or not. What matters is how you feel and what you do.

n“I bought rubbish information with a single bullion of gold.”

nByeok Tae-san laughed. Jo Tae-joo’s expression, judging it as a laugh, became a little brighter. And looked at Hwa-ok happily.

n“He was the one who boiled tiger liver. Who did that?” Hwa-ok turned and looked at Jo Tae-joo.

n“It’s that person.”

nJo Tae-joo looked at Mt. Byeok with a bewildered expression. Of course, it was also acting.

n“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.

n“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?”

nAt Jo Tae-joo’s words, Hwa-ok bit his lip with an angry expression.

nByeok Tae-san saw it and stepped out.

n“Okay. What do you see in this guy?”

nByeok Tae-san asked Hwa-ok.

nHwa-ok’s eyes widened slightly.

n“It looks a little different to me, isn’t it? Can’t you see things a little different from before?”

n“Ah… No, that’s right.”

nByeok Tae-san smiled and pointed at Jo Tae-joo with a chin.

n“What do you see?”

n“I see lust, ambition, deception, ridicule,”

nByeok Tae-san tilted his head.

n“Ambition and deception, though… lust? What, were you aiming for the body from the beginning? Isn’t this guy crazy?”

nJo Tae-joo was really upset. Doesn’t Byeok Tae-san seem to believe in Hwa-ok’s nonsense? It shouldn’t be like this.

n“Oh, Confucius…”

nByeok Tae-san raised his hand and stopped Jo Tae-joo’s words. He still hasn’t finished what he has to say.

n“But what is a joke? Are you laughing at me now?”

nByeok 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.

n“You mean you laughed at me because I was just listening?”

n“Hey, Confucius! no! How can I! Do you really believe in that absurd statement?”

nByeok Tae-san laughed bitterly.

n“Then will you believe me? Only the second time you met? And the words of the guy who broke trust in the first place?”

nJo 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.

nStill, it’s too much to believe in Hwa-ok’s words.

nByeok Tae-san looked at Hwa-ok, not paying attention to what Jo Tae-joo was thinking or how he looked.

n“It has become more useful.”

nHwa-ok smiled brightly and shook his head slightly.

n“Thank you.”

nAll the worries and worries that had been firmly entrenched melted away.

nHe looked up at Mt. Byeoktaesan with happy eyes.

nAt that moment, Byeok Tae-san was putting his hand on the crown of Jo Tae-joo.

nJo 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.

nHwa-ok’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at it.

n“Oh, Confucius. If you kill him right now, things get complicated.”

nByeok Tae-san laughed bitterly.

n“Why? Do you think you can’t fix it?”

nHwa-ok shook his head with determined eyes.

n“no. I will definitely fix it.”

nJo Tae-joo’s complexion turned pale as he heard the conversation between the two.

n“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!”

n“It’s noisy. Just because you talk doesn’t change the outcome.”

nDespair appeared on Jo Tae-joo’s face. I thought I was going to die now.

nOf course, Byeok Tae-san didn’t care whether Jo Tae-joo was desperate or not. His gaze was directed to Hwa-ok.

n“Look carefully.”

nByeok Tae-san pulled out the soul of Jo Tae-joo. Hwa-ok’s eyes became the size

nof a candle.
