Chapter 268
268fury. In this land
Even today, the front of Baekryongjang was crowded with dancers holding number tickets. Everyone was gathered in small groups, talking loudly and waiting for their turn..
One of them, a man with a grim expression, grumbled..
“shit. I came all the way from Guangdong to meet the famous Blue Dragon Credit Union. Are you telling me to just take a number and wait??”
“It looks like there are a lot of waiting numbers left for the execution, so wouldn't it be better to wait comfortably in the guest room??”
In response to another man's question, the man with a grim expression crossed his arms and glared at the wall of Baekryongjang..
“I should be able to wait quietly in the guest room while I am suffering from a bit of a pain. I'm still thinking about jumping over the wall..”
Then the men around him shook their heads and tried to dissuade him..
“If you want to go back after seeing the face of Blue Dragon Credit Union, don't be too brave. There were many who climbed over the wall and were beaten by the disciples and thrown out..”
“What? Do you think this body will lose to the bloods that go to the academy?!”
“Oh my. If you feel confident, try it. It's good for us to have fun watching.”
“A brother full of spirit. Please go over it quickly. Let's see what happens!”
“These guys are really good……!”
The man with a grumpy appearance was grinning, but he did not climb over the wall carelessly. It was because I felt uncomfortable ignoring the warning..
‘Wouldn't it be a shame to climb over a wall and get beaten up by kids?.’
It was time for the timid man, despite his harsh appearance, to let go of his anger inside..
“Huh? Isn't that person cutting in line??”
Everyone turned their heads in the same direction at someone's shout..
Isn’t there a man walking to the main gate of Baekryongjang without his name being called??
“hey!”
At that time, a man with a grumpy face suddenly stood up and walked toward the man who was trying to cut in line..
I just felt like you were caught well..
However, the moment the man standing in front of the gate turned around, the man with a grim expression cringed without me knowing..
“what's going on?”
“That, that…….”
He was a man with a neat appearance and almost no expression. Even the slight movement of turning around was done with restraint, giving the impression that he was stubborn..
But the moment I hear the other person's voice, I strangely feel intimidated..
The impressionist man spoke in a hushed voice..
“Did you bring your number tag?…….”
“I visited here on official business.?”
As the expressionless man narrowed his eyes sharply, the impressionist man was suddenly overcome by the feeling of having to confess even if it was an innocent sin..
Why do I suddenly remember being taken to a government office and beaten with a stick for stealing alcohol when I was young??
“Oh, you were a civil servant. Take care of your business in peace. ha ha ha.”
“…….”
In the end, the man with the grim expression walked backwards with a servile smile..
When he returned to his seat, all the soldiers watching laughed..
“You went out with great momentum and came back without saying a word..”
“Climb the wall? A pea-sized liver will do just fine..”
“Hehehehe!”
The impressionist man cleared his throat and made his own excuse..
“Didn't you all hear? They say they are carrying out official duties. This means that the person who came out of the coffin visited the Blue Dragon Credit Union! Don’t you know that government affairs are inviolable? Inviolability of government affairs!”
Inviolability of government affairs.
It is the most common excuse given by warriors who have had an accident involving the government, and it was the thing the man who opened the door of Baekryongjang a while ago hated the most..
Anyway, the words seemed to have made sense, and the warriors began to mutter..
“Military officer? What does podu mean??”
“It seems like that when I look at the clothes.…….”
“He seemed to be quite an expert for a Podura. What's so disappointing about being such an expert??”
While there was a lot of talk about the identity of the man who entered Baekryongjang, someone hit his knee with his palm and said:.
“Hell Judge Cheongcheon!”
“What? A nickname that would be suitable only for the great head of Sapa?”
As curious eyes gathered, the talkative man showed off his knowledge..
“One of the special things about this city. In addition to being known as a top martial arts expert, he is also the embodiment of integrity and innocence that does not accept bribes at all. In particular, he has no mercy for the crimes committed by the martial arts people, so his nickname is Judge of Hell.!”
Some people frowned in disapproval at the grandiose explanation..
“How dare you arrest a martial artist? Isn’t this a violation of the non-aggression policy??”
“That's the problem!”
“huh?”
“The most common tactic used by the Hell Judge is to cut off the limbs of a martial arts criminal and then claim that the problem was resolved through martial arts as a martial artist versus a martial artist..”
“……Really?”
“Is there such a crazy person? Are you saying that the surrounding clans are leaving it alone?!”
“Most of those who are punished by the Judge of Hell have clearly committed sins, and since he advocates righteousness and integrity, there is nothing we can do about it.?”
The faces of the soldiers who usually looked down on military officers turned pale..
If you think about it that way, the government affairs are inviolable and there is no reason to argue..
The more I thought about it, the more I realized how scary Podu was, who was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had the law and public power on his back..
“Anyway, brothers, please don't get caught in the author's eyes. I heard that there has been an increase in the number of martial artists around here these days, making the government feel uncomfortable..”
The impressionist man who almost pulled out the nose hairs of a tiger swallowed his saliva..
“However, the author visited this place because of some connection with the Blue Dragon Credit Union.?”
“I don't know about that either. I'm sure they didn't come to arrest you... … . Isn’t it because of the Namgung family’s affairs?…….”
Everyone looked at Baekryongjang with curious expressions, but Cheongcheon had already opened the front door and entered..
* * *
The disciples who were training in the yard greeted Cheongcheon happily..
“Cheongcheon Podu! What's going on here??”
“I came to see your teacher. Is it inside??”
“yes. stay in your room.”
Cheongcheon nodded and walked to Baeksuryong’s room and stopped. Then he turned to the students and said.
“It's not Podu, it's Podobujang..”
“yes?”
Cheongcheon fluttered his newly-made official uniform with great energy, and then started walking again..
And he still spoke in a blunt voice and with an expressionless face..
“I was recently promoted..”
The disciples looked at the back of Cheongcheon moving away and whispered with puzzled expressions..
“He was just bragging about getting promoted.?”
“Did you see him smiling slightly? oh my god. That Cheongcheon Podu…….”
“I guess it's good that I got promoted.”
Leaving behind the students' whispers, Cheongcheon headed straight to Baek Soo-ryong's room..
Before I even knocked on the door, Baek Soo-ryong’s voice was heard from inside..
“Come in.”
As we entered, Baek Soo-ryong, almost buried in a pile of documents, was stretching out..
“The line outside was long..”
“I'm so tired of working and dealing with people. I'm slowly going to stop accepting customers..”
White Water Dragon gave a long yawn and said.
Since I had handled all the guests without hesitation for over 10 days, I had enough justification to lock the gate for a while..
In any case, the real experts were likely to come only after the commotion quieted down..
Cheongcheon looked at that and laughed..
“You too are quite a workaholic..”
“Are you in a position to talk to someone else? Mr. Podu is the busiest in this neighborhood..”
“It's the grape manager..”
“Oh, I heard you were promoted recently. congratulations.”
The two chatted for a while, clearing their minds for the first time in a while..
When Cheongcheon looked at the documents piled up around Baek Su-ryong, Baek Su-ryong held one of them and shook it..
“I have final exams starting tomorrow..”
Cheongcheon read a little bit of what was written on the document that Baek Soo-ryong was shaking..
After a while, Cheongcheon’s expression, which had never changed for the most part, became strangely distorted..
“……That's the test?”
“Hehe. Looks like fun?”
Looking at Baek Su-ryong, who was smiling like a devil, Cheongcheon expressed his condolences in advance to the students who would take the exam tomorrow..
“So what business did you suddenly come to see me for??”
“Recently, martial arts crimes have been increasing in the city..”
“……Because of me?”
“I can't say no. There are cases where the martial artists who come to visit you become mischievous in the guesthouse, and there are also cases where conflicts arise when the martial people gather together. The manpower of the government is now at its limit..”
“hmm…….”
Baek Soo-ryong crossed his arms and pondered..
Fortunately, before his worries deepened, Cheongcheon told him a solution he had thought of in advance..
“So, can I borrow some rehabilitation gate??”
“Gangsaengmun kids? Ho... … . That's a good idea?”
Baek Soo-ryong understood Cheong-cheon's intention at once..
“I'm going to use the Rehabilitation Gate to catch the martial arts people who are harming the city's security.?”
In addition, it was a golden opportunity to change the reputation of Gangsaengmun, which started as an organization of third-rate thugs. As a white water dragon, there was no reason to refuse..
“Take it and use it however you want. Because those guys are pretty useful now..”
“I feel relieved..”
If you are from the slums, you will have no problem dealing with rehabilitation workers..
“That's all there is to it?”
“One more thing. Did you hear the news that the Murim Lord is coming??”
“I heard.”
Baek Soo-ryong was constantly receiving information from Gyeongjae and Haomun..
The Murim Lord's visit to the Blue Dragon Academy will be officially announced soon..
It was planned to be a grand procession with over 100 attendants..
“Fortunately, I think it will arrive after the final exam period. I'm glad my academic schedule wasn't messed up..”
But Cheongcheon’s expression was a little strange..
“I guess you didn't hear me. There is a story that the Murim lord is trying to put the Blue Dragon Academy under the Murim League and into the wartime organization..”
“……what?”
Baek Soo-ryong’s expression hardened. It was my first time hearing this story. He adjusted his posture and asked.
“tell me in detail.”
“It looks like the Murim lord is already preparing for war against the blood religion. An official letter for cooperation was also sent to the government. I found out today and came to let you know right away..”
“…….”
“The name is to inspect the Gangseo branch of the Murim League and the Blue Dragon Science Museum, but the real purpose seems to be the Blue Dragon Science Museum itself..”
The Five University Halls, including the Blue Dragon Hall, are not affiliated organizations of the Murim League..
Rather, it is closer to a cooperative relationship..
However, the Murim lord was using the semi-war situation as an excuse to plan to devour the Blue Dragon Hall entirely..
Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes shone coldly when he learned of his intentions..
“Whoever wants?”
Cheongryong Academic Center is affiliated with the exhibition organization under the Murim Alliance.?
It was a story about a Murim lord holding the power over the life and death of students..
It was obvious that it would interfere with future academic schedules, and students might even be used as bait or expendables in the war..
Because the current Murim lord was a man who would do anything to eradicate the blood religion..
‘I agree that we need to prepare for war with the blood cult, but I can't see myself dragging my disciples to fight..’
I'm glad I found out in advance..
I almost got killed without knowing anything..
Baek Soo-ryong said to Cheong-cheon.
“Thanks for letting me know. Thanks to you, I can prepare in advance..”
“Let me know if you need help. I don't know if there's anything I can do about Moorim's work.…….”
“Just think about it first.”
After finishing everything he had to say, Cheongcheon stood up..
To talk at length, both of us were busy with construction work..
However, Cheongcheon wanted to ask one thing..
“Do you plan to confront the Murim Lord??”
“That will depend on how it turns out..”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and answered..
If someone else said something like that, they would think he was being arrogant, but strangely, Baek Soo-ryong didn't feel that way..
Cheongcheon realized the reason on his way back to the government office..
‘but. I have gained access to this city's commercial circles, public power, connections, military power, and now a reputation that will shake the world.…….’
Cheongcheon recalled the things that Baek Soo-ryong had one by one..
The Baekryong Sangdan is growing rapidly under the protection of the Golden Dragon Sangdan, one of the top ten in the world..
Podo Manager Cheongcheon is receiving unprecedented promotions..
Gongsun Su, the vizier who would immediately send 10,000 soldiers with just one letter..
Gaengsaengmun was once an organization of third-rate thugs, but is now transforming into a full-fledged martial arts faction..
“I'm sure there's more here that I don't know about..”
Even if the Murim Lord came, there was no reason for Baeksuryong to be defeated in the fight..
“At least in this land, it seems like the Blue Dragon Credit Union is stronger than the Murim Lord..”
Cheongcheon laughed and headed towards the government office with lighter steps..
