Episode 189. Superlight Speed
Then, a middle-aged man named Noh clan head flinched and slowly walked out.
His whole body was shaking as if he had caught wind.
“Can’t we come quickly!”
As the Emperor Ok-tae shouted, the head of the old clan approached him in haste.
As soon as he arrived, Emperor Yu called his name in a quiet voice.
“No Sang-chung(老想忠).”
The man called Noh Sang-chung spoke while trying to force his voice out.
“yes. Lord of the palace.”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“Please speak. Lord of the palace.”
Emperor Ok Tae quietly looked into his eyes and then asked.
“Who… invited Gu Cheon Se to come into our Cheon Seong Palace?”
“That…”
Noh Sang-chung’s eyes darted left and right violently.
Emperor Oktae said.
“Have you forgotten?”
Then Noh Sang-chung quickly answered.
“Oh no. “The person who recommended him… was me.”
Emperor Oktae said.
“okay. “I know very well.”
“I’m sorry. Lord of the palace.”
Emperor Oktae said with a grin.
“Is there anything to be sorry about?”
Then No Sang-chung looked at Ok Tae-je with a somewhat expectant expression.
At that moment, Emperor Ok Tae’s expression changed completely and he let out a yell.
“Isn’t it okay to take responsibility! responsibility. “Recommending someone always comes with responsibility.”
Noh Sang-chung said, rolling his eyes even more busily.
“I will take responsibility! “I will somehow correct this mistake.”
It was then.
Whiing.
The sound of something flashing and cutting through the wind.
“Aaaahhh!”
A desperate scream of extreme pain followed.
Noh Sang-chung was clutching both his eyes and screaming.
Blood was leaking out between his fingers.
A truly terrible scene.
Han Ibi thought.
‘It looks like a sword… but it was so fast that I couldn’t even identify it properly.’
At that time, Emperor Oktae spoke.
“I have to make it right. “Of course.”
He continued while crossing his arms.
“I couldn’t sleep a wink after receiving the report yesterday. Do you know why? huh? “I thought about how that son of a bitch was giggling in the annex when he saw my children.”
At that moment, Ok Tae-je looked back at Han Ibi and shouted.
“Commissioner Han!”
Then Han Ibi, who was surprised, answered.
“yes. Lord of the palace.”
Emperor Oktae shouted loudly.
“You did the same thing wrong. “Do you know what you did wrong?”
For a moment, Han Ibi’s heart seemed to freeze… but she
soon came to her senses and spoke.
“It may be rude, but I think two mistakes were made.”
Emperor Okta’s eyes twinkled strangely.
“What is that?”
“yes. First of all… no matter how bad the situation was… I dared to invade the palace lord’s villa. “I would like to sincerely apologize.”
‘Shit. I’m sure you’re not asking me to tear out my eyeballs.’
Emperor Okta nodded slowly and said.
“I know very well. “What is the other one?”
“One more thing…”
Han Yi-bi suddenly knelt down with an exaggeratedly sad expression on her face.
The disciples in the audience were watching this scene with astonished eyes.
Han Ibi continued speaking.
“…How dare I… kill Gu Cheon Se without the palace lord’s permission?”
Emperor Oktae said.
“yes. That’s right. “To gift such an easy death to that bastard… It was wrong, but it was so wrong.”
Han Ibi said while lowering her head.
“sorry.”
Emperor Oktae said.
“At least… shouldn’t I have given him a chance to rip out his eyes and chew them alive?”
“That’s right. “The small man’s thoughts were short.”
“joy. So I can’t solve this person. So…”
At that time, Ok Tae-je shouted at Noh Sang-chung, who was still crying.
“If you don’t shut up, your tongue will be ripped out!”
Then, Noh Sang-chung magically turned into silence.
Emperor Oktae said.
“Didn’t you say a little while ago that you would take responsibility? That’s why I can’t bear to go without digging out your eyeballs.”
Only then was Han Yi-bi able to understand Ok Tae-je’s sudden actions.
Oktaeje added.
“I will let you taste what it is like to neither die nor live.”
Han Ibi thought.
‘Huh… How did you get into such a mental state? There is no fool like this.’
At that time, Emperor Oktae spoke to Han Ibi.
“For this to happen, you too must be punished.”
‘omg.’
Han Ibi was startled and prepared herself in her mind.
‘If you attack, you must fight back immediately. You should also consider using Hongmongdaebeop.’
Emperor Oktae said.
“Commissioner Han. “Get up.”
“yes. Lord of the palace.”
Han Ibi stood up.
In times like these, a more confident response is needed.
“I will punish you.”
“Please tell me.”
“good. “As of this time, you are resigning from your position as Commissioner Yeohwaru.”
Very unexpected treatment.
Han Ibi, however, spoke with a calm expression.
“I will follow the palace lord’s orders.”
Emperor Oktae continued speaking.
“Yeohwaru’s job is so comfortable. “It’s not worth it for someone who needs to be punished.”
‘huh? Things are going a bit strangely here…’
“So… you…”
The two people’s gazes collided in the air.
“…From now on, he will have to take over as the head of the Seolmundang Party, succeeding the successor of the Noh Party leader.”
Then, the head of the family, including the Minister of Internal Affairs, were all shocked.
Seolmundang is one of the core organizations of Cheonseong Palace.
Noh Sang-chung was also a person who was favored by the palace lord until yesterday’s incident.
Wouldn’t that mean that the survey party would be entrusted to a young person with new terms and conditions?
There has never been a promotion at the speed of light.
At that time, Han Ibi said.
“All right. Lord of the palace. The minor will receive this corporal punishment according to the will of the palace lord. “I will work hard, prepared to break my body.”
Then Emperor Okta snorted and said.
“joy. Your body is my property. So, you shouldn’t be talking nonsense about how you can move your body as you please.”
“yes. My thoughts were short. Lord of the palace.”
Emperor Oktae waved his hand and said.
“I wish I knew. “Go back to your seat.”
“yes.”
Han Ibi politely stepped aside and returned to her seat.
Emperor Oktae said.
“Now then, the monthly meeting of Cheonseong Palace begins.”
At first, big and small things inside Cheonseong Palace were discussed.
Well, most of it was no different from the lectures given by Ok Tae-je’s dictatorial dictatorship…
Han Ibi was bored, but she didn’t show it and got through it well.
And finally….
“Then, now report on the operating performance of Giru and Guesthouse.”
After saying that, Ok Tae-je looked at Han Yi-bi and added.
“Until today, I came as the head of Yeohwaru, so please report.”
“yes.”
Cheonseong Palace operated a total of three large towers.
Yeohwaru, Nakcheonru, Gyeonghoeru.
Among them, Yeohwalu is the one that has shown outstanding performance recently.
After Eibi Han took over as director, performance nearly doubled and the number of regular customers also increased rapidly.
Han Ibi recited in detail about the incident with the Women’s Group and how she overcame it, adding seasoning.
Each time, Emperor Okta listened to his story, sometimes nodding and sometimes grinning.
Emperor Okta shouted.
“Have you seen these guys with swollen livers?”
This is the story of the Women’s Dan.
“You don’t know how to be scared of a one-day tiger. “How dare you go against Cheonseong Palace…”
Han Yi-bi said politely.
“Maybe that’s why you never know if Cheonseong Palace is behind you.”
“joy. Of course it is. “I will repair these foolish losses in the near future.”
“You are right.”
After that, reports from Nakcheonru and Gyeonghoeru continued.
Their sales decreased slightly, and they were compared to Yeohwaru and suffered a crushing blow.
Ibi Han kept thinking about the company’s sales meeting and laughed to herself.
‘It’s all the same now as it was then.’
At that time, Emperor Oktae spoke.
“You Rouges…”
The owners of the two bases waited for Emperor Ok’s words with nervous expressions.
“…You will have to learn a lesson from the head of a family. A head of a family!”
Han Ibi quickly answered.
“yes. Lord of the palace.”
“Teach these people properly what it means to operate a stoma and send them back. Do you understand?”
“yes. All right. “I will pass it on to you by any means necessary.”
“good.”
But of course, both baserunners were not good.
Their expressions were so distorted as if they had chewed shit.
‘Someone I’ve never heard of comes out of nowhere…’
I was probably thinking something like this.
After that, after several discussions about palace life…
the boring monthly meeting finally came to an end.
Han Ibi thought as she left the road after disbanding.
‘No… How did you happen to be in charge of the head of a faction that is not in the eight families?…’
Even when he thought about it, it was a ridiculous result.
‘Well… Anyway, I feel good because I got promoted. How can I get a promotion here that I couldn’t get in this life? For now, let’s think positively.’
He walked slowly toward his dorm, lost in thought.
Since it was no longer a dispatched position, I would probably be given a separate room.
At that time, I saw a familiar face among the disciples who were busily passing by.
It was Eunhwadam.
Han Ibi immediately raised her hand and shouted.
“Howdy! Silver Soger.”
Then Eun Hwa-dam was startled and then pretended not to hear and turned around to leave.
Han Ibi tilted her head and quickly walked over to that side.
“No, Eun Sojeo. “He must have seen me, so how could he run away so quickly?”
Then Eunhwadam gave up running away and said with a sigh.
“Commissioner Han. “I… do you know how much trouble I’m in?”
Han Ibi put her finger to her chin and made an expression as if she was thinking deeply and said.
“I think I understand.”
“Why on earth did you do that?”
“Didn’t you start an argument first?”
“But… ah… I don’t know. “Why did you hide that you were an expert?”
“You never hid it? Besides, you didn’t even ask, right?”
“If you keep talking, I’ll be in trouble.”
“You mean I can’t do that as I please? “You say I’ll talk to whoever I want to talk to?”
Then Eunhwadam’s face turned slightly red.
“is it so. I’ll be honest with you. “If I hang out with Commissioner Han any more, I’m sure I’ll be reprimanded by the executioners.”
Hanyibi nodded and said.
“Hmm. all right. But… there’s one problem.”
“yes? “Problem?”
Han Ibi said with an even more serious expression.
“It’s such a serious problem.”
“What is that?”
“How can you not say a word while eating a pot of rice?”
Then Eunhwadam frowned and said.
“I can’t understand what Commissioner Han is saying.”
Han Ibi said with a grin.
“A little while ago… I became the head of Seolmun Party. “The palace lord appointed it.”
Then Eun Hwa-dam said in surprise.
“Are you the leader of Seolmundang?”
“that’s right. “I think Eun Sojeo was a member of the Seolmun Party.”
But Eunhwadam could not answer.
An expression of astonishment was spread across his face.
Eunhwadam soon came to his senses and spoke.
“Commissioner Han. “I’m not in the mood for jokes.”
Han Ibi said with a straight face.
“Isn’t this a joke? “I really became the head of Seolmun Party.”
“Am I serious? Then, Mr. Noh…”
“He… has become blind. Hmm hmm. It’s a bit hard to say with my own words. Anyway, he quit being the head of the family. “You will find out in a little while.”
Of course, Eunhwadam had a look on his face that didn’t seem to trust him at all.
Ebi Han said.
“So, according to the internal rules of the clan, I have to speak comfortably.”
From Eunhwadam’s perspective, it was a series of absurdities.
However, Han Ibi said without any concern.
“There must be people who have committed sins here.”
“yes?”
“Seeing the palace lord, I feel like that somehow. Is that right or not?”
“There’s that side to it, too.”
“okay. Then there must be a prison inside Cheonseong Palace. You know prison? “A place where people are confined.”
“Of course there is.”
“Where are you? “Please take me there.”
“Jail?”
“okay. “This is my first order after taking office as the head of the Great Cheonseong Palace Seolmun Party. I hope you will carry out it well.”
Han Ibi’s teeth flashed in the sunlight as she smiled broadly.
