Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1496



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1496. Impressive.

Jangwan District, Shiyan City, Hubei Province.

Hongryeon Trading Company.

Late at night.

Jin Gwa-wol returned to Hongryeon Sanghoe without a sound, together with Yeon Jeok-ha, who had saved him.

And he gave Yeonjeokha one of the staff quarters.

“It’s a one-room apartment, but it has everything you need, so you won’t have any inconveniences. I’ll introduce you to the boss when he comes to work tomorrow, so until then, try to stay in your room as much as possible. It’s temporary, but there are procedures.”

The president, Dong Zi Jian, is a senior member of the Hong Kong Red Lotus Association, but he has been demoted to the position of Shiwenshi and has become the new leader.

Even if the triad is a split faction, it still uses the name of the main faction.

The name of Hongryeon Sanghoe contains such profound meaning.

Therefore, Hongryeon Sanghoe becomes the Hongryeonbang of the ten-character poem.

Jin Gwa-wol, who suddenly remembered Jang Rak-bang while talking, ground his teeth in resentment.

‘How can someone like Jangrakbang touch Hongryeonbang?’

Even if the Triads were powerless on the mainland, it was an excessive provocation.

“It might be a bit noisy when the staff wakes up in the morning… … If you stay in your room, no one will come looking. If someone asks who you are… … Just tell them you’re a distant relative of mine. If you tell them you’re only staying for a short time due to personal reasons, they won’t ask you any more questions.”

“All right.”

“And… …I’ll buy you breakfast at the convenience store on my way to work, so wait until then.”

“yes.”

“What else is there? There’s a refrigerator, a washing machine, a dryer, a microwave… … The TV is satellite, not cable. But you can watch pretty much anything, so you can choose what you want to watch.”

“… … .”

When Yeonjeok-ha didn’t know what was going on and didn’t respond, Jin Gwa-wol turned on the TV himself and found a martial arts channel.

“If you want to see something else, just press this.”

Jin Gwa-wol flipped through the channels with the remote control as if he was bored, then returned to the martial arts channel.

Then I put the remote control on the table and took a quick look around the studio.

I felt like I had learned everything I needed to know.

“Do you have any further questions?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Then I’ll go home now and rest. I’ll see you again tomorrow morning.”

Jin Gwa-wol patted Yeon Jeok-ha on the shoulder in a friendly manner and then went out.

The next day.

Jin Gwa-wol went to work early in the morning as promised.

On the way, I also bought some instant food for microwave at a convenience store near Hongryeon Sanghoe.

I think it would be good to keep it in the refrigerator and take it out to eat when you go out.

Since the boss hadn’t come to work yet, he went to the employees’ dorms first.

As I opened the door and went in, the room was filled with hot heat.

“Oh my! The air is stuffy. Have you been watching TV all night?”

“Oh, is it morning already?”

Yeonjeokha got up from her seat with a red face.

I didn’t realize how much time had passed while I was watching TV.

Come to think of it, the air in the room was warm even though it was before spring.

‘Tsk tsk!’ Jin Gwa-wol, who had been clicking her tongue, opened the window wide.

As the cool air rushed in, the stuffy room quickly became comfortable.

“They used to call TV the idiot box. Once people get hooked on TV, they can’t get out.”

I couldn’t find anything to say in response, so I just scratched my head.

I stayed up all night unintentionally, but I have no regrets.

Because I was able to close the 390-year gap a lot thanks to watching TV all night long.

“This is breakfast. What would you like to have?”

Along with the words, Jin Gwa-wol spread out three lunch boxes on the table.

He pointed at one of the ones he was dating with his finger.

Then Jin Gwa-wol said.

“Then I’ll just microwave it and eat it. The restaurants around here are only open for lunch, so you have to cook for yourself. I’ll eat lunch with my coworkers, and I’ll buy dinner.”

“yes.”

Yeonjeok, who had no money in his hand, did not refuse Jin Gwa-wol’s consideration.

“And… … do you have money?”

Jin Gwa-wol stared at Yeon Jeok-ha intently.

I was wondering if they had money to buy coffee while hanging out with coworkers.

“doesn’t exist.”

Then, Jin Gwa-wol opened his wallet without hesitation, took out a wad of bills, and handed it over.

“It’s three thousand yuan (about 550,000 won). That strange outfit is too flashy, so I’ll buy you a suit.”

Yeonjeokha took the money and put it away, asking.

“Is there a clothing store nearby?”

“After I get to know the staff later, I’ll assign you a friend. You can get help from him.”

“Are the employees also members of the Samadhoe?”

“I guess that’s the case for the people in the staff quarters. The only regular people at Hongryeon Trading Company are the girls who do the accounting and the delivery people.”

“Oh, I see.”

Yeonjeokha nodded as if he understood.

On the way from Jupao Village to Shiyeonsi, I heard a brief account of the situation at Hongryeon Trading Company.

Hongryeon Trading Company was created because, in order to establish a foothold in China, it was necessary to conduct normal business.

In the past, I would have openly used the name Hongryeonbang, but now, if I did that, I would be immediately arrested by the police?

When Yeonjeok-ha didn’t move while holding the lunch box in her hand, Jin Gwa-wol asked.

“Have you forgotten how to use the microwave?”

“yes.”

Jin Gwa-wol said as she put the lunchbox that Yeon Jeok-ha had chosen into the microwave and pressed the switch.

“Just set it to 2 minutes and press start.”

Woohoo―.

As the microwave started to turn on, Yeonjeok-ha came closer and looked inside.

Then Jin Gwa-wol, who couldn’t stand to watch anymore, added a word.

“Don’t look at it because it emits electromagnetic waves that are bad for your eyes.”

“ah!”

The startled Yeonjeokha fell out of the microwave.

“When the time is up, I will stop and let you know. Then you can take it out and eat it. Then I will go now. If something urgent comes up before then, ask the staff for me.”

“Yes. Thank you, Vice President.”

I bowed my head politely and greeted him just like I had seen on TV.

Jin Gwa-wol smiled, patted his shoulder, then turned around and left.

***

10 am.

Hongryeon Trading Company president’s office.

“… … I made you use the temporary staff dormitory. I promised to make you an ID card, so I think I’ll take care of you until I get it. As for the accommodations… … If the boss tells me to send you out, I’ll get you a separate room. I apologize for doing this unilaterally without permission.”

After finishing speaking, Jin Guowue looked at Dong Ziqian’s expression.

Even though Dongjageon is an ordinary person, he is still the leader of Hongryeon Trading Company.

The sixty-year-old boy said with a smile.

“Where did you get the words you didn’t mean? Doesn’t the vice president have that much discretion? I’ll take care of that man’s ID, so you just focus on the Jangrakbang.”

“thank you.”

Jin Gwa-wol nodded his head.

If he asked for help from the Samhaphoe, there was no reason to object since Dongjageon, the leader of the Yongdu, had stronger influence than he did.

Besides, the fight with Jang Rak Bang was a problem that he, a mutant, had to solve anyway.

If a young man in his sixties is jumping into a fight, then Hongryeon Trading Company must have already gone under.

“Christie, you have a man with a wandering mind. One more burden.”

An awkward smile appeared on Jin Gwa-wol’s face.

Christie is Jin Guowu’s only daughter.

Dong Ja-geon said that because his daughter, who had graduated from college in Hong Kong, suddenly returned and was living with him, there was one more family member.

“Christie is my only daughter and my life-saving lover, so she is not a burden.”

“You said you were from Hapbi?”

“yes.”

“While I’m making my ID, can I do some background checks? I might be a swindler for Jangrakbang.”

“Yes, but the condition of the Yeonjeokha is not very good… … . I am not sure if the investigation will be conducted properly?”

“There’s no need to ask that young man. With fingerprints and facial recognition, we can tell who he is right away. Until then, even if it’s a little embarrassing, try to keep your distance.”

This is because Yeonjeokha came to him as a savior and may aim for something bigger.

“I will do that.”

Jin Gwa-wol accepted Dong Ja-geon’s words without any hesitation.

I don’t know about anything else, but it is true that the timing of Yeonjeokha’s appearance was coincidental.

“Wait a minute, since we’re on the subject, why don’t you bring that guy in now. We’ll have to see if he’s really out of his mind or if he’s just pretending to be.”

“yes.”

After a while, Jin Guowue returned with Yeonjeokha and introduced him to Dongjageon.

“This young man is Yeon Jeok-ha, the one who saved me in Jupao Village. Yeon’s nephew, please come and greet me. He is the president of our Hongryeon Trading Company and the dragon head of the Ten-Word Poem, Dong Dae-in.”

When Yeonjeok Jin Gwa-wol finished speaking, he bowed his head.

“I am in love with you.”

Dongjageon said, carefully observing the young man’s complexion.

“You’re telling me, Dongja Geon-il. You saved our vice president from a crisis?”

“The one who saved me was an unknown swordsman, and I simply ran away with the vice president.”

“You speak very clearly. So, you came from Hap-bi?”

“yes.”

“What a coincidence. My wife’s family is from Hefei. Where in Hefei do you live?”

“This is Yeo Gang-hyeon’s Seokgyeongjang.”

Then Dongjageon turned his head to Jin Gwa-wol.

You know my residence so specifically, but you don’t have any ID?

Jin Gwa-wol had nothing to say, so he just shrugged his shoulders.

“How long have you lived in Seokgyeongjang?”

“That… I don’t know.”

“I know where you lived… … but I don’t know how long you lived there?”

“yes.”

“You seem smart from the way you speak, but how did you lose your ID? If you can confirm your identity, it shouldn’t be difficult to get a new ID.”

Dongjageon, with his long experience, dug into the parts that Jin Gwa-wol had missed.

What I’m saying is that if your identity is confirmed, there’s no reason to create it through the Triad.

Jin Gwa-wol, who was watching from the side, saw a strange difference in his eyes.

Because he missed that part because of his preconceived notion that he was a ‘crazy person’.

Yeon Jeok-ha, slightly offended by the boss Dong Ja-geon’s urging and nagging tone, spoke forcefully.

“I’m not the kind of person who walks around spilling things.”

“Didn’t you say there wasn’t any? If there wasn’t any, then it must have been spilled.”

“there is.”

Along with the words, Yeonjeokha took out the seal from her bosom and placed it on the desk.

“Do you see the three letters of my name here? Yeonjeokha.”

Dongjageon looked at Ho-pae and Yeon-jeok-ha alternately with bewildered eyes.

Then Jin Gwa-wol sneakily intervened.

“He thinks of himself as the main character in a martial arts drama.”

An exclamation escaped Dongjageon’s mouth as he looked into Yeonjeokha’s straight eyes.

“ah…….”

That’s not a common performance.

Even the lead actor in a real martial arts drama wouldn’t have that level of acting ability.

Dongjageon took the badge and looked at it.

It was engraved with three Chinese characters for the name and four characters below it that appeared to indicate an official position.

‘Heavenly Sword Immortal?’

It was a badge made by the Imperial Guard during the time it was called ‘the Emperor’s hidden sword’.

However, since it was a position that did not exist in history, anyone could tell that it was the work of a martial arts fanatic.

Dongjageon’s thoughts were not much different.

He said, pushing the badge he was holding to the end of the desk.

“Impressive. It’s definitely better to see once than hear a hundred times. I will take responsibility for making the Yeon Brothers’ ID cards. Don’t tell anyone else that I made them for you. If you do, a good relationship will turn into a bad one. Do you understand what I mean?”

Dongjageon added a threat just in case.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who is from the same black world, could not have been unaware of the worries contained in those words.

He responded with a line from a drama he had been watching until dawn.

“I will take that to my grave.”

“And I’m just saying this out of concern, but that badge.”

“yes.”

“Don’t bring it up in front of the other employees. I think it might be a bit too much.”
