Chapter 498 Emergency Meeting (5)
The procurement staff returned to their seats.
Looking at him with a blank face, Myeongseong-ho and other lawmakers asked.
“How was it?”
“Would the white-clad wizard help you?”
their question.
I wanted to answer truthfully.
I tried to persuade the white-clad wizard, but it turned out that he was a completely different person from the apostles of justice we know. But I couldn’t.
The white-clad wizard warned the procurement officer. If his identity is discovered, he will surely pay for it.
‘That’s not a lie. Even if I belong to the central government, I can’t handle a wizard in white.’
Korea’s only S grade.
A pioneer who opened the era of hunters.
Even the central government did not treat the white-clad wizard lightly.
Given the need for each other, the central government was likely to choose the white-clad wizard as an alternative option.
Think about it. A cataclysm is right around the corner.
You don’t know what kind of monsters will appear in Korea, but you can’t handle the white-clad wizard who is the leader of the 100 days and an S-rank hunter.
Even if that were possible, the scales with the white-clad wizard and the golden sphere on both sides would tip against the white-clad wizard.
It was disastrous.
I got goosebumps.
In the meantime, I believed that the white-clad wizard represented justice, but all of that was just a lie.
‘The fact that he hid his identity for the past 20 years proves how detailed and black he is. In the political world I live in, there are many figures like the white-clad wizard. The moment you cross the line that such people warned you not to cross, you will face malice that does not cover the means and methods. This is a losing business. I can’t turn the white-clad wizard into an enemy just by taking care of Roman Dmitri.’
Judgment was quick.
Cho Dal-su is a politician.
The reason why an ordinary person who was not a hunter was able to take the seat of Geumcheon-gu was because he read and quickly judged the market situation.
The white-clad wizard couldn’t be touched. He knew that too, so he took off his mask without hesitation in a situation where it was just the two of him.
said the procurator.
“… It seems impossible to get help from the white-clad wizard. In fact, it’s also a valid argument. The rebellion of Roman Dmitry and the Incheon government is obvious, but when a cataclysm strikes, it is clear that they are also a force to be reckoned with. As the saying goes, “Ijei (以夷制夷),” we should rather use the power of Incheon, and after the cataclysmic storm passes, Incheon will face a disastrous reality anyway.”
took a step back
no, it’s a step away
As a procurement agent, there was no other option.
The emergency meeting that the lawmakers were called in like that concluded to watch Incheon for the time being.

That evening.
Park Min-woo gathered the wizards of the 100 Days.
Park Min-woo made a shocking remark in a situation where there were figures who could be called the leadership.
“From now on, Baekil will actively support the Incheon government and promote a cooperative relationship with them.”
“… what is that?”
“It’s Incheon. Aren’t they in trouble?”
Leaders protested.
recent.
The reputation of the Incheon government was not good.
It took a line that was openly opposed to the central government, and there were many openly said that Incheon would be abandoned in a catastrophe.
However, it is not another force, but Baek Il will promote a cooperative relationship with the Incheon government.
If this choice goes against the central government, even Baekil will suffer from catastrophe.
A senior official said.
“Guild leader. Why are you trying to establish a cooperative relationship with the Incheon government? They are an unconventional group. As a citizen of the Republic of Korea, he escaped the fence of the central government and said he would follow an unknown figure called Roman Dmitry. It’s an obvious rebellion. Like the case of the massacre of Red Moon, they are a threat to the safety of Korea. Baekil is a group that does justice and puts the protection of the Republic of Korea as its top priority, but it is completely incomprehensible to cooperate with forces like Incheon.”
hundred days.
They were attracted by Park Min-woo’s sense of justice.
They would give their lives if it was Park Min-woo’s order, but the most important thing to them was the cause of justice.
It was an expected reaction.
But I couldn’t tell them the truth.
Park Min-woo knew what kind of image he was externally, so he needed an answer that did not deviate from that image.
Minwoo Park said.
“I understand. For you, my will must be sudden. However, I rather think that the negative view of Incheon is rather the central government’s dictatorship policy. What the hell did the Incheon government do wrong? they did nothing wrong The Red Moon incident was an obvious self-defense, but the central government created a negative perception of them in the process of forcibly recruiting Roman Dmitri, an S-class hunter. keep in mind Public opinion is not the truth. What we should pay attention to is that Incheon was completely excluded from the country for not listening to the central government. There are the people of the Republic of Korea that we must protect. I will ask you. Is it right to throw them away? Is it right to follow their opinions and reject Incheon just because the central government is strong? I just decided not to follow the trend. In the catastrophes to come, I will stand on the side of the weak.”
It was sophistry.
As if for justice, Park Min-woo put forward a plausible justification.
that word.
Baekil’s leadership couldn’t help but cry.
It would have been different if they knew of Alexander’s existence, but in their eyes, Park Min-woo existed as a ‘magician in white’.
actions in the past.
He added credibility to his remarks.
The words that he would stand on the side of the weak brought tears to the eyes of the head of the leadership who had been protesting until just now.
“… sorry. My thoughts were short.”
“As always, I will follow the guild leader. Baekileun and I. I will give my life for justice.”
The atmosphere was ripe.
All became one.
Thinking that the plate was laid, Park Min-woo called a person.
“Jang Yoon-tae.”
“yes.”
“From now on, as a representative of Baekil, visit Incheon. And tell Roman Dmitri my will secretly.”
among numerous figures.
There was a reason for choosing Jang Yoon-tae.
If more than 90% of 100 days are ignorant people who cry for justice, Jang Yoon-tae was a person who saw the power of Park Min-woo in a practical way and swore allegiance.
A selfish person driven by profit.
So, because he is quick-witted and knows how to respond immediately in consideration of practical benefits, he was deliberately appointed as his agent.
of course.
It was best to go out on your own.
It’s a secret that can’t be told to people, but in fact, Park Min-woo didn’t have the confidence to face Roman Dmitri.
‘… That’s a little scary.’
The truth people don’t know.
Jang Yoon-tae shouted.
“All right! I will definitely convey the will of the guild leader.”
he thought
A suggestion that the white-clad wizard reached out first.
That would be a really easy task, not particularly difficult.
* * *
“… yes?”
Jang Yoon-tae showed a bewildered expression.
The next day, he visited Incheon and, as he had prepared in advance, said that Baek Il wanted a cooperative relationship.
Rejection was unthinkable.
Isn’t it natural
There was no way Incheon would refuse Baekil.
however.
“Are you saying you won’t accept Baekil’s offer?”
“Yes.”
Roman Dmitry was calm.
Even though Baek Il’s name was mentioned, he did not show any special feelings, such as hostility or favor.
Jang Yoon-tae reacted as if he could not understand.
“Are you really serious? It’s a hundred days. Baekil, which is evaluated as the best group in Korea as an independent force excluding the central government. Baek-il reached out his hand first, but he refused. What are you thinking? Judging by common sense, there is no reason to reject this offer if you think about the safety of Incheon.”
“If it makes sense like you said, then yes. The problem is that Baekil’s proposal is not common sense.”
One Hundred Days Proposal.
It was charming.
It is right to accept them for the safety of Incheon, but Roman Dmitry was clear about the boundaries of the fence.
“The external evaluation of Incheon is negative. No one wants to be involved with Incheon because the central government has led the way. Meanwhile, Baekil reached out to us. Why?”
“For the sake of justice… .”
“That is the problem. If you are thinking of speaking justice, Incheon does not meet the conditions. A number of issues the central government is arguing against. I slaughtered Red Moon, and the captain under the direct control of the Incheon government killed my opponent with cruel hands during the promotion review. I am not saying that they are true. We have enough justifications, but those who speak justice don’t consider reasons for murder. So your proposal is bound to be contradictory. According to the steps that the white-clad wizard has shown during the past 100 days, we are not a group that fits the justice you are talking about.”
Murim.
Among the political faction, there were a few people who pursued justice.
That’s why I knew.
If Baek Il sincerely pursued justice, he would not have secretly cooperated with Incheon.
drew a line
There was no reason to accept Baekil.
Contrary to Baekil’s thoughts, Roman Dmitri was not desperate for outside power.
Jang Yoon-tae’s face turned red.
I was angry.
I knew what it meant, but I couldn’t accept the other person’s attitude.
“… Are you saying you’re rejecting the offer of 100 Days now with just such an intention? ha true do you know that The central government held an emergency meeting to punish Incheon, but the guild leader voted against it because Incheon was also a citizen of the Republic of Korea and should be protected. Incheon and you. It means that you are safe thanks to the guild leader. I don’t know what the white-clad wizard is in Korea yet, but he is a great person who embraces the negative aspects of Incheon. He is a righteous man who cannot be turned away because he is a minority!”
I got up and left my seat.
Why are you angry?
Not because of a sense of justice.
He did not like the fact that the power he followed was denied.
Negotiations broke down.
There was no reason to be here any longer.
“Don’t regret what happened today. Even if you contact us again later, there is no second chance.”
I turned my steps.
I knew I would catch myself with an honest heart.
But until he opened the door, no sound came from behind him.
* * *
Came out.
I was annoyed.
hundred days.
Those who follow the white-clad wizards are almost religious.
Park Min-woo unconditionally praises justice, but Jang Yoon-tae was essentially different from those people.
He coveted power.
coveted power
That’s why I couldn’t help but be dissatisfied with the attitude of Incheon, which had no power because I followed the magician in white.
‘I am the guild leader’s representative. That’s why you need to show an attitude appropriate to the situation, rather than unconditionally persuading Roman Dmitri. There is no reason for a white-clad wizard to be in Incheon. Anyway, if a cataclysm strikes and the fire goes down, Incheon will realize how big a mistake they made and contact them only then.’
judged wisely.
Obeying orders unconditionally is something only stupid people do.
I knew that I could survive in a group called Baekil only when I act flexibly depending on the situation and the opponent.
Notice is Jang Yoon-tae’s weapon.
That is why I was sure that I was chosen as an agent.
‘What the hell is Roman Dmitry thinking with such guts? Only the people of Incheon are going to die because of the tsk tsk stupid leader.’
went to the guild
On the way, I briefly conveyed the situation via text message.
Negotiations broke down and he promised to explain the situation accurately as soon as he returned.
however.
Woo woo woo.
The cell phone rang.
It was Park Min-woo.
Excited at the thought of being praised, Jang Yoon-tae answered the phone without hesitation.
click.
[So what happened?]
Beyond the cell phone.
A cold voice was heard.
It was different from usual.
I instinctively knew it was strange, but I couldn’t even read the truth in the voice.
“As I said in the text, we will break down the negotiations first… .”
[Give me 10 minutes. Come right away.]
Took.
The phone call ended abruptly.
Embarrassed for a moment, Jang Yoon-tae looked at his phone with a bewildered expression.
“… huh?”
Something was strange.
Even if it is cold, the reaction is too cold.
His instincts were warning him that something was wrong.
