Episode 61. Purging the Rose Society (2)
“Well… it might be possible with your brute force. But, the rose society is different from the Imperial Sandals who fight squarely, shouting for pride and honor.”
Haseo’s biggest dark house. That was the rose society.
A one-on-one duel of honor or a fair confrontation based on the pride of a warrior was the farthest from the rose society.
The Rose Society did not solve problems with tradition, prestige, and the natural power that came with it, like the Empire’s Zach and Roll Mandi families.
Of course, they didn’t have as many strong people as the great aristocrats of the empire.
In terms of pure force alone, a superhuman warrior like Haseoje Ilgeom Cherkin could have sufficiently destroyed the Rose Society.
Even so, the reason why King Seong-seong of Haseo-guk couldn’t do anything about the rose society was no different.
It was because the rose society always repays what was received.
Kidnapping, assassination, family murder, intimidation, torture, terrorism, etc. Jangmihoe unreservedly used all means suitable for the title of the world’s most famous underworld.
In addition, the minister of Haseo-guk, who was pandering to the rose society, could not be counted.
It was a natural result, as the Rose Society very ‘neatly’ resolved all the issues that Wang Seong was uncomfortable with.
If you think about it, there is a saying of Haseo-guk that ‘the bright is the royal castle, and the dark is the rose circuit’. This ambiguous maxim contained the essence of the Rose Society.
“This could be a dirty fight.”
“Of course, since I know the rose meeting method well, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“Ugh. When the Rose Society is completely absorbed into my power, I will have to reduce such bloody methods. Unlike Haseoguk, the Empire is not tolerant of the dark group’s methods.”
“What would it be? Best of all, you don’t have to do that.
Kidnapping, assassination, and family murder are things hyenas like us do. The lion doesn’t have to.”
Yuma tried to nod, but then he remembered the nobles of the imperial castle when he was a eunuch and shook his head.
Most of the aristocrats experienced as eunuchs were obviously those who did not hesitate to commit subhuman acts.
“As I said before, the Rose Society is currently splitting due to the pressure from the Haseo-guk leadership. This is what happened when I followed you to Joachim.
Even if it wasn’t for that, it would have started someday.”
King Haseo-guk decided that it was time to throw away the rose society, which had been doing the dirty work for him.
So King Haseo-guk was ready to absorb the rose society into a special national intelligence agency.
It was in the name of using talent from the dark side to raise it to the bright side.
However, since it was a special spy agency, it meant that it would take away all of the rose society’s independent authority.
Most of the conflicts in the Magul conflict area, which is the biggest problem of Haseo, have been resolved, and the frequent infighting has ended. For King Haseo, ‘dark things’ were no longer needed.
The king began to put pressure on Jangmihoe in earnest while Natalie, the owner of the party, left for Yoheim. Haseo, the first swordsman, General Cherkin, stood up and shouted for the dissolution of the Rose Society.
So far, ministers with close ties to the Rose Society are still blocking it, but since Cherkin moved, the dissolution was postponed.
As a result, the Rose Society was divided into a moderate faction led by the current leader, and a hardliner following Natalie, the current leader.
Moderates agreed to the king’s proposal, while hardliners insisted on the opposite.
Of course, the target of the purge that Natalie decided was moderate.
“In the first place, the rose society was a thorough top-down system of one-person supreme. While I’m opening my eyes, bastards who follow the previous lords aren’t worth keeping alive. Those who betrayed once will betray again. Dogs can’t stop pooping.”
“That’s a good idea.”
Two days later, Yuma took Natalie and Cheryl aboard a ship to Haseo. This time, the method was stowaway.
It wasn’t that he stowed away conscious of the Empire’s gaze. Because Yuma is no longer a commoner and has received the imperial family’s special treatment.
However, Yuma was a hero to the common people of the empire, but in Haseo, Yuma was a national enemy. That is why it was necessary to enter the country secretly.
Of course, this time too the stowaways were destined to be beaten by Yuma.
“Why don’t these two bouncy ladies pay for the ferry with their bodies instead of money?”
Especially this time, as he asked for a stowaway with two beauties named Natalie and Cheryl, the janitors had no choice but to flick their tongues and spit dirty words.
When bastards see beauty, they have to spit out obscene words.
Of course, this time too, the five stowaways were beaten by Yuma and their bones were broken.
Yuma was amazed at the behavior of the stowaways, who did not change even when the person changed.
“…I will live a fine life.”
Boss, a smuggler with a swollen face, thought all the way to Haseo-guk that he would give up his smuggling business and return to his hometown.
Cheryl kindly treated the stowaways’ fractures before arriving in Haseo.
“What are you treating these guys for?”
Natalie asked curtly.
“It just happens.”
Cheryl scratched her head in response.
* * ‘It’s been a while since Haseoguk.’
The place where Yuma and the others arrived was Kalam City in Haseo, where the rose meeting annex was located. It was where Puang and I first visited Haseo Guk and met Natalie.
They immediately moved to the outbuilding of the rose society. Cheryl and Yuma walked next to Natalie, their faces covered.
Even if they didn’t know Seril, there were no members of the Rose Society who couldn’t guess Yuma’s identity just because he covered his face.
It is because rumors are already circulating that Hoeju will lead the rose society and go under Yuma.
Inside the outbuilding, there was a mix of moderates and hardliners.
They seemed to be doing their own thing, but they were constantly conscious of each other and checked each other. In particular, the moderate faction blatantly gave Yuma a hostile look.
Like a barrel of oil spilled in the middle of the floor, the annex was surrounded by murderous spirits and speculation that would ignite even the slightest spark.
While walking, Yuma judged the skills of the members who were exhaling death.
Most of them were at the level of children to Yuma, and it was embarrassing.
“You are cute. Is it attractive that your subordinates are fearless?”
When Yuma said a word, Natalie stopped walking. From the moment she entered the outbuilding, she had an expression full of anger.
Even though Hoeju was right in front of his eyes, he was full of spirits to hear that his subordinates, who did not know the subject, were fighting their spirits.
While Natalie was away, King Seoguk Ha successfully blurred the atmosphere of the rose society.
Natalie snapped her finger, and the sighted member rushed forward. He was a moderate who glared at Yuma.
baek!
Natalie’s fist turned his chin. He flew about a few meters and landed on the ground. Then all the nearby members hurriedly got down on one knee and bowed their heads.
The member who was hit in the jaw barely got up and came in front of Natalie and took a resting posture. Natalie stretches out her fist once more and he gets back up and bows his head.
After the process was repeated five times, Dan’s molars and front teeth all disappeared.
Natalie didn’t say a word and moved on again.
“You beat the kids as soon as you arrive.”
Then a middle-aged woman emerged from the upper railing. Yuma was focusing his senses on the strong energy he felt from above while Natalie was beating her subordinates.
‘That woman must be one of the previous members.’
He was a pretty strong man.
However, it was not enough to become Yuma’s opponent. There was no reason why four unmanned people like that couldn’t take a picture of ramen.
However, the former lords were not warriors, but giants of the underworld.
Skilled in trickery and meanness.
Even Yuma had to be extremely careful if he possessed something like the devil’s poison.
“What did Sheila’s previous owners do while I was away? The lower ones don’t know the subject and are fighting a war of nerves in front of Hoeju.”
“well. I didn’t do anything
What is the Lord of the Empire doing in the Empire…
Sak!
A flash of light flashed from Natalie’s hand. Before Sheila could finish her sentence, she took a dagger from her bosom and threw it.
Sheila quickly turned her head to avoid the dagger.
“Come down and be polite, Sheila.
Are you still the owner? No one in the Jangmihoe dares to look down at Hoiju and speak. Even if it’s the previous president.”
“Hmm. It looks like the frog forgot the verse when it was a tadpole. you’re right.
No one can talk while looking down at Hoeju. But…
Sheila paused for a moment and let out a mischievous grin.
“Should I still admit that you are the Lord? To me, she looks like a prostitute who has no self-respect and sticks her head in the lower body of the enemy of the country.”
When Sheila insulted Natalie, the hardliners, who had been hardened, were ready to draw their weapons at any moment.
Natalie raised her hand with an expressionless face and stopped the members from moving.
Dig!
However, Yuma had no intention of staying still. Yuma leaped to the second floor railing at once and pulled out an Ascalon and swung it.
It was not a threatening attack to give a warning.
Yuma instantly manifested Sword Eye. The moment when a cross-shaped aura formed in Yuma’s eyes passed, Sheila’s right arm was cut off.
Sheila, Natalie, Cheryl, and all the members who were watching were all unexpected actions. Even Natalie, who had just been insulted, was jaw-dropping in surprise.
Originally, Sheila was not a person whose skills were so low that she couldn’t even block Yuma’s sword. She was too careless.
Who would have known it would turn out like this? Natalie didn’t even know.
Sheila couldn’t even scream. It was because Yuma grabbed her chin with a tremendous grip.
“I was going to cut it in half nicely, but I managed to avoid it.”
Yuma grabbed her chin and jumped down to the first floor. grasp!
There was a dull sound as Sheila’s jaw collided with the marble floor.
“Did you say Sheila? You can’t look down at the hoeju. Please politely apologize to Natalie and resume the conversation. You should use the language appropriate to your position.”
The psychological shock was far greater than the pain of having his arm cut off and his jaw bone crushed. Sheila experienced temporary panic for the first time in her life.
Sheila wasn’t the only one whose brain activity stopped for a moment. The hardliners and the moderates, Seryl and Natalie, who were exhaling a lot of life, just held their breath at this unrealistic sight.
That’s right, Yuma was such a guy.
Natalie, who was the first to come to her senses, let out a big breath and ran her hair through her head.
Natalie didn’t have to explain to Yuma how mean the rose society was.
He was once a eunuch who had survived for decades in an even fiercer and dirtier strife in the imperial castle.
No matter how heinous and bloody the gangsters of Haseoguk were, they were meek compared to the imperial castle.
In Yuma’s opinion, the purge was done like this.
