Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1497

Episode 1497. So, are ordinary people livestock?

Ak Gang-rok asked Yeon Jeok-ha in the elevator of Shinwha Department Store located in Jangwan-gu.

“How much is your budget for a suit?”

“Three thousand yuan (about 550,000 won).”

This morning, Jin Gwa-wol introduced Yeon Jeok-ha to her employees as her twenty-five-year-old niece.

Contrary to Jin Gwa-wol’s concerns, he got along surprisingly well with the members of the Samhap Society.

If I may exaggerate a little, it was like meeting a separated family.

Thanks to this, I was able to quickly develop a close relationship with my coworkers.

This is why the 30-year-old Ak Gang-rok starts talking informally to Yeon Jeok-ha after just a few hours.

“I can’t buy anything nice… … I’ll just have to get something mid-priced. I’ll have to buy a dress shirt, tie, and some underwear. Oh, and I’ll have to buy shoes and socks too. Do you have a belt?”

“What’s a belt?”

“Oh, I asked the wrong question. There’s no way you’d wear a belt with that outfit. This is a belt.”

Ak Gang-rok opened his suit and showed off the belt he was wearing.

“Aha! A leather belt?”

“Oh, by the way, did you graduate from school?”

“no.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I asked a pointless question. That’s understandable. Even the youngest, Cheongwoon, only finished elementary school.”

“… … .”

Yeon-jeok just blinked, not understanding what he was saying.

Ak Gang-rok, who was observing his expression, asked cautiously.

“You didn’t just graduate from elementary school, did you?”

“I didn’t even go to elementary school.”

“really?”

Ak Gang-rok looked at Yeon Jeok-ha with absurd eyes.

Education is compulsory up to high school, but you didn’t even finish elementary school?

Of course, like Ryu Cheong-un, some people run away from home and only finish elementary and middle school – especially in disadvantaged environments.

But Ryu Cheong-un also graduated from elementary school.

‘Parents can’t not send their children to elementary school unless they’re crazy… … .’

No, it’s also strange that you don’t know what a belt is just because you didn’t graduate from elementary school.

That’s because it’s something you learn in everyday life, not at school.

‘The way you dress is like that too… … .’

Somehow I didn’t feel good.

But when you look into those gun-filled eyes, those worries go away.

In fact, he was a very sharp guy who would do his job wherever he went.

If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to become close with the Samadhoe staff in such a short period of time.

“I was locked in a warehouse for ten years, starting when I was six years old.”

“Uh… … That… … .”

Ak Gang-rok, who had nothing to say, patted Yeon Jeok-ha on the shoulder and sighed deeply.

My heart ached as I thought about the life of a twenty-five-year-old.

The bizarre clothing was no longer strange.

It would be a miracle if he survived such abuse for so long and still remained sane.

***

After finishing shopping at the department store, I went back to Hongryeon Store after having lunch with Ak Gang-rok.

The man in the suit naturally blended in with the Hongryeon Store.

He helped his brothers with their work during the day, and watched TV in the evening.

The exploration of modern civilization, which began in dramas, gradually moved into the news.

―… … In 2033, after the explosion of the French new magnetic research institute Cadarache, a rift appeared in the dimension, which soon led to the emergence of the Black Sphere. The world experienced rapid changes due to the Black Sphere. The biggest change was the mutation phenomenon. The unidentified energy flowing out of the Black Sphere brought rapid changes to life on Earth. However, there is a report that the Black Sphere, which had only emitted energy, has changed. Reporter Jang Ho-yu, please come out.

– This is reporter Jang Ho-yu. I am currently in Beijing. In Beijing… … .

The most incomprehensible thing in the modern age, 390 years after the war, was the Black Spear.

The first thought that came to mind when I saw it was ‘black sun’.

To be more precise, it was like the ‘Abyss Entrance’ before it became the ‘Black Sun’.

I wondered why something like that existed on Earth, which isn’t even the fourth heaven… … and they said it was because of an experiment by scientists.

“Those crazy guys.”

They say black holes suck everything in, so I don’t understand why we would want to create one artificially.

As he was shaking his head, Ryu Cheong-woon’s voice was heard from outside the door.

“Brother Yeon.”

When Yeonjeokha opened the door, Ryu Cheongwoon smiled and said.

“The vice president is coming out.”

“me?”

“You said you wanted to have dinner together? He’s waiting for you to come out in front of the store.”

“Ah! Okay, thank you.”

Yeon-jeok hurriedly changed his clothes and ran outside.

When I opened the front door and went out, Jin Gwa-wol was standing there with a young lady.

“Uncle.”

As promised in advance, Yeon-Rik called him Uncle.

Jin Gwa-wol, who was smiling and nodding, spoke to her daughter who was next to her.

“He’s the nephew I was talking about. He’s one year older than you, so you can call him brother.”

Then Christie nodded slightly at Yeon-jeok-ha.

“It’s Christie.”

“Oh, nice to meet you. I’m in love with you.”

Christie glanced up and down at Yeonjeokha and then quickly looked away.

This is because she is a commoner and has a high self-esteem, and other things like that.

Yeonjeokhado didn’t show much interest in Christie.

She could be said to be a beauty, but compared to Namgung Yeon, she was ordinary.

After the two finished greeting each other, Jin Gwa-wol started walking ahead, staggering forward.

The place where Hongryeon Store is located is the bustling area of ​​Jangwan-gu.

There are five or six high-end restaurants within 100 meters of the store.

The place Jin Gwa-wol took Yeon Jeok-ha and her daughter was Guryonggak, which had recently become a regular place.

The owner of Guryonggak, who recognized Jin Gwa-wol, came out from the counter and personally guided him to his seat.

As Jin Gwa-wol, Christie, and Yeon Jeok-ha sat down, the owner asked.

“Vice President, what would you like to eat?”

“Three servings of the Kowloon special course.”

“Yes, thank you. Please wait a moment.”

The owner bowed deeply and then turned around and went back the way he came.

An awkward silence flowed between the three.

The one who broke the silence was Jin Gwa-wol.

“You look like a completely different person after changing your clothes. From now on, walk around like that.”

“yes.”

“And Sohee, you… … .”

“I’m Christie. It says so on my ID.”

“Ugh! The enemy is my savior. So you shouldn’t be rude to him either. Do you understand?”

“If someone heard me, they would think I’m rude to others. I treat everyone equally, regardless of their social status.”

“I know that. What I’m saying is, don’t hit equally.”

“Dad, who did you say I hit?”

“Who are you hitting? In the past month alone, I’ve settled two cases for you? One with a man, one with a woman.”

“The man kept hitting on me even though I said no, and the woman believed she was a mutant and attacked me first.”

“Thank goodness the settlement was cheap. The man had a broken arm, and the woman had cracked ribs. It was just a stroke of luck that it ended in a settlement… … . Tsk!”

In fact, it was possible to end it with an agreement because Jin Gwa-wol was the head of the Samhaphoe.

If Jin Gwa-wol had been an ordinary person, it would not have ended with an agreement between the parties involved.

“Phew.”

When Christie pouted, Jin Gwa-wol spoke sharply.

“You, since it happened in Shiwenshi, I took care of it. If it had happened in Hong Kong, you would have been locked up in prison. So, I’m telling you to kill that temper and live.”

“Oh, I don’t know. Anyway, I can’t live with injustice. I’d rather go to jail.”

“Do you think you could last even a day in prison?”

“Why are you doing this? Do you know how much Dimension Power I have? Even if a bunch of female prisoners attacked me, they wouldn’t be able to defeat me alone?”

“You won’t sleep? Do you know what will happen while you sleep?”

“… … .”

Christie also did not answer on that part, perhaps because she was not confident.

“So the best thing to do is to avoid prison. Do you know why ex-convicts are so afraid of being arrested? It’s because they don’t want to go to prison, which they often visit as if it were their own home.”

“Yes, yes, I understand. So please stop nagging me. Why do you keep embarrassing me in front of the guests?”

“Haa! Please don’t fight anymore. I’m worried about sending you to Hong Kong now.”

“Hey, right. I couldn’t hold back because I’m a novice. Do you think I’m stupid?”

The conversation between father and daughter ended with Jin Gwa-wol shaking her head.

The atmosphere, which had been heated by a tense argument, soon calmed down.

Christie, who was listening to the music flowing inside the restaurant, suddenly asked Yeon-jeok-ha.

“You’re an otaku?”

“What is that?”

“Haven’t you ever worn those weird clothes from anime?”

“Ah, strange clothes… …”

“People like that are called otaku.”

Jin Gwa-wol didn’t know what an otaku was, so she just quietly listened to her daughter and Yeon-jeok-ha’s conversation.

“Yes, then I guess I’m an otaku.”

“Wow! It must not be easy to live as an otaku at that age. Whose clothes are you wearing?”

“Count Elio Lagoa.”

“Ugh.”

However, Christie didn’t know who it was because she wasn’t an otaku.

Actually, I don’t care.

As a normal person, and even at the age of twenty-five, I’m an otaku, so I just want to distance myself from him more and more.

Jin Gwa-wol asked her daughter in a sly manner.

“Count Elio Lagoa’s costume? Not a martial arts one?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s strange. He seems to be really into martial arts dramas.”

“I guess you like martial arts too. Most martial arts dramas these days are fantasy.”

“Oh, really?”

Jin Gwa-wol decided to understand it because her daughter said so.

After finishing the meal, I parted ways with Jin Gwa-wol and his wife in front of Hongryeon Store.

Yeonjeokha returned to his room and sat in front of the TV again.

The news was all about the Black Spear.

While I was absorbed in the news, someone knocked on the door.

I turned down the TV volume and opened the door, where Ryu Cheong-woon was standing.

“why?”

“Why? I came here to have a drink with you, hyung. May I come in?”

“Oh, come in.”

As Yeonjeok-ha opened the door wide, Ryu Cheong-woon strode into the room.

Soon, Ryu Cheong-woon took out alcohol and snacks from the plastic bag he was holding and placed them on the table.

I sat down on the chair opposite Ryu Cheong-un, who was my rival.

Ryu Cheong-woon said as he passed by, pouring beer into Yeon Jeok-ha’s glass.

“What is it like to see Sister Christie up close?”

“If I had been born a man, I would have been a general.”

“Phew! Not like that. I mean, isn’t it beautiful?”

“Well, that’s pretty good.”

When Yeonjeokha answered indifferently, Ryu Cheongwoon’s eyes widened.

“Is that really the case? Brother, when Sister Christie was attending Hong Kong University, she was even chosen as Queen.”

“queen?”

“I was chosen as the Queen of Beauty.”

“I don’t think it’s that bad… … .”

He never acknowledged his love until the very end.

Is that all she is to be called a beauty queen? When I look at Namgung Yeon, I can’t help but lose my eyesight.

“Well, your tastes may be different, hyung. I will respect your tastes.”

“Yes, originally, love was subjective, so it’s right to respect each other.”

After that, the two of them drank in silence while watching TV.

How much time has passed?

Ryu Cheong-woon said, wiping his face, which was red from alcohol, with his palm.

“Haa! If only my DP was as good as Kang Rok’s… … .”

“How old is Brother Kangrok?”

“Five hundred.”

“you?”

“Only three hundred.”

Yeonjeokha tilted her head.

The average mutation diff is 150, so 300 is twice as much.

“Isn’t that high? It’s twice the average.”

“Do you know how old Sister Christie is? Seven hundred. She would have to be five hundred to be considered human… … .”

“Hey, if D.P. Sam Baek says something like that, it’s useless. Then are ordinary people livestock?”

“You don’t know yet, hyung… … Soon, people’s status will be divided by their DP value. The Triad is doing it right now. When your DP exceeds 500, you are appointed as a leader. There is no need for rank or achievements.”

Ryu Cheong-woon, 300dp, clenched his fists and trembled as if he felt wronged.
