Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1508



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1508. Who’s following?

Masojeon was a person who was sent out from the family.

However, from a young age, Dou-ro followed his cousin Maso-jeon in a peculiar way.

Because they have similar rough and vicious personalities, it naturally turned out that way.

Masojun also loved Duuro more than his own family.

The reason that the gangster Duuro didn’t fall into the underworld was because Masojeon tried to stop him.

Thanks to that, Doo-woo was able to go to college and live a normal life.

But that didn’t last long.

A major change in Douro’s life came about while he was living as a gangster.

It was mutated due to the influence of the Black Spear.

Douro, who had become a mutant with 300 dimensional power overnight, was no longer an ordinary gangster.

He didn’t join the organization, but his actions were like “Get out of the underworld.”

When Du-uro went berserk, Maso-jeon told him to ‘come to Shinwha-pa after graduating from college.’

I thought it would be better to be accepted as a member of the underworld rather than become a petty criminal.

The Shiwonshi black society was making money through legal businesses, not illegal ones like in the past.

Relations with the police were also good, so even if they did break the law, most of them ended with just an acquittal.

Masojun was convinced that the current Douro would rather benefit from the dark society.

That’s how I designed Douro’s future… … .

Douro, whom he loved more than his own blood relatives, is half-crippled and lying in a hospital bed.

Just seeing it made my teeth chatter, but I couldn’t help but feel angry that they laughed and ignored me even though I was using the name Masojeon.

“I’ll cut that thing up and bring it to you before you leave the hospital.”

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

If only his life was spared, Vice President Jin Gwa-wol wouldn’t have raised an issue.

Especially in the midst of a dark society and a struggle like now.

“Thank you, brother.”

Only then did the face of Duuro, who was on the verge of death, come to life a little.

It was a bit disappointing that I couldn’t take my opponent’s life, but I had to be satisfied with that.

Even though the Triad was not very powerful on the mainland, it was stronger than the Shinwha faction.

***

Jin Gwa-wol, who had just gotten off work, glanced at the clock on the wall when she didn’t see her daughter.

The clock hands pointed to 9 o’clock in the evening.

Normally I would say it would be like that, but now my mouth is parched.

Because just a few days ago, my daughter was kidnapped.

Although things miraculously worked out with Jang Rak Bang, Hongryeon Sanghoe still had many enemies.

The life of the triad is far from peaceful.

The wife who ran away fifteen years ago also had several near-death experiences.

One of the reasons she ran away was probably because she was tired of her precarious life.

Knowing that, I didn’t bother to look for her.

It was also for her safety that Christie was sent to Hong Kong to study.

Of course, I have no intention of living with my daughter in the future.

This kidnapping incident has made that determination even stronger.

“Oh my, where have you been wandering around at this hour?”

Considering that he was twenty-four years old, it was not too late, but Jin Gwa-wol still could not sit still.

He paced around the living room, taking his cell phone out of his pocket and putting it back in.

When the clock struck 9:30, he took out his cell phone and called his daughter.

“Where are you?”

-In front of the house.

“Come quickly.”

He spoke bluntly and hung up the phone without waiting for an answer.

Not long after I hung up the phone, my daughter came home.

Jin Gwa-wol asked as soon as his daughter took off her shoes and stepped onto the floor.

“When are you going back to Hong Kong?”

“Why? I wish you could go quickly.”

“This is not a safe place for you to stay.”

“Would something like that happen again? In the Shiwonsi, Jangrakbang is the most powerful.”

“People don’t always die from being bitten by tigers.”

“Yes, yes, you could get bitten to death by a dog in front of your house, or you could get gored to death by a cow on the street.”

Christie shook her head with a look of disgust on her face.

That was something I had been hearing from my father since I was little.

Jin Gwa-wol smiled bitterly at her daughter’s rebellion and said:

“As you know, the Honglianbang’s position in China is worse than that of the underworld. Even if Jang Lebang steps down, it doesn’t mean that it’s a safe place for you to live.”

“I know. I won’t be here long.”

“How long will you be here?”

“When is your older brother leaving?”

When Yeonjeokha suddenly came up in the conversation between the two women, Jin Gwa-wol frowned.

“Why do you ask that?”

“I want to go with you when you go to Yeon Orabeoni.”

“What? Are you saying you’re going to follow that guy now?”

Jin Gwa-wol, excited by the unexpected answer, raised her voice without realizing it.

“Who’s going to follow me? When Yeon-oh leaves here, I’m going to go to Hong Kong too.”

Only then did Jin Guowue realize that he had been mistaken, but he was still puzzled.

“Why are you trying to accommodate that guy’s schedule? What did he say?”

“I’ll tell you about that later.”

“When later?”

“Before boarding the flight to Hong Kong.”

“Just in case, don’t pay too much attention to that guy.”

“why?”

“Why? Are you really asking because you don’t know? You should know how to distinguish between public and private matters. It’s true that he saved my life. So in return, I’ve decided to make him a new ID. And when he leaves this place, I’ll give him a lot of money. I think that’s enough to repay the favor.”

“Hmm! Dad, you don’t like Yeon-ohrabeoni?”

“I don’t hate him. He’s a nice guy, except for the head problem. But that’s about it. Any more sympathy is not good for him or us. He’s not our family. I don’t want him to be. I’m sure you know what I mean.”

Jin Gwa-wol looked at her daughter with a stern face.

A relationship that starts out of sympathy is bound to end up with regrets later on.

Just like himself and his ex-wife.

When his daughter did not answer, Jin Gwa-wol asked her in a threatening tone.

“By the way, since when did that guy become ‘Yeon Orabeoni’?”

In his memory, his daughter didn’t show even the slightest interest in Yeonjeokha.

When I called, I just said, ‘Excuse me.’

But now, whenever I open my mouth, I hear ‘Yeon Orabeoni’, which is embarrassing.

“My father introduced me as his nephew to the employees of Hongryeon Store. So I also call him ‘brother.’”

“You didn’t call me that before, did you?”

“It was just unfamiliar at first.”

“So this isn’t the first time? Have you met him?”

“I happened to meet him at the Shinrang Bookstore this afternoon and we had lunch together.”

“That guy was in the bookstore? What’s he doing there?”

“Are you reading a history book?”

“What good would it do to read something like that? Oh! You were a martial arts drama maniac. It’s fortunate that you got into that kind of thing. What would have happened if you had taken an interest in strange things when you weren’t in your right mind?”

Jin Gwa-wol shook his head as if the mere thought was terrifying.

Then suddenly I asked.

“But you haven’t been with that guy until now, have you?”

“Hey, Dad! I met some friends and had dinner. I’m tired, so I’m going to wash up and rest.”

Christie went into the bathroom without even listening to Jin Gwa-wol’s answer.

***

The next day.

As Yeonjeok-ha was browsing the magazine corner of the groom’s bookstore, her pockets started to tremble.

Yesterday, a call came in on the cannon phone that Ryu Cheong-woon had given me to use.

I went to the corner where the phone was being used and answered the phone.

“hello?”

-Brother, where are you?

“Groom’s Bookstore. Why?”

-The vice president is coming in right now.

“uh.”

After hanging up the phone, Yeon-jeok went outside and started walking along the main road.

After walking for about 30 minutes, the Hongryeon Store building appeared in the distance.

It feels like I’ve come home after being there for over ten days.

As Yeonjeokha entered Hongryeon Store, Ryu Cheong-woon approached him and asked.

“Did you have another accident?”

“That’s not happening.”

“Then, I guess you got your ID card.”

Ryu Cheong-woon said that out of concern and then quietly disappeared.

Still, it made me laugh to see him take care of me even though it had been a while since we had eaten from the same pot.

After a while, I knocked on the door of the vice president’s office and went inside.

“You were looking for me?”

In response to Yeonjeokha’s question, Jin Gwa-wol moved from her desk to the sofa.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

I sat down on the opposite side of the table where I was sitting.

Maybe it was because I was in front of such a high-ranking person, but I don’t remember doing anything wrong, but I felt a sense of insignificance for no reason.

“You had lunch with Christie yesterday?”

“Oh, yes. We met by chance at the groom’s bookstore and that’s how it happened.”

“and?”

“We broke up right away and I went back to the groom’s bookstore. Christie said she was going to meet her friends. Why? What happened?”

“That’s not it. I guess I’m a bit nervous because I was kidnapped.”

“Oh, yes.”

“By the way, about your ID.”

“yes.”

“I think I’ll be able to receive it tomorrow or the day after.”

“It’s faster than I thought. I thought it would take at least two weeks to receive it.”

“That’s how it is with people. When it’s fast, it’s surprisingly fast, but when it’s slow, it takes a while. In your case, consider yourself lucky.”

“thank you.”

“What gratitude? Isn’t that enough for someone who saved my life? I’m telling you this because I think you should start preparing to leave soon. When I get my ID… Where do you plan on going?”

“It’s a joint expense.”

“Are you planning to go to Seokgyeongjang?”

“yes.”

“… … .”

Jin Gwa-wol was silent for a moment after hearing Yeon Jeok-ha’s words.

Because I know that the stone pavilion was burned down during the Cultural Revolution 57 years ago.

“What kind of place is Seokgyeongjang to you?”

“This is my hometown.”

“If it’s your hometown, did you grow up there?”

“It’s not where I grew up, it’s where I lived.”

“Because it’s where I used to live… … I’ll be honest with you since you’ll find out anyway. The stone chamber was burned down during the Cultural Revolution 57 years ago.”

“… … .”

Yeonjeokha’s eyes, startled, grew as big as lanterns.

“The stone mirror was burnt down and disappeared?”

What was important to him was not ‘when’ but the fact that ‘the stone mortar shop was burned down and disappeared.’

“Yes, during the Cultural Revolution that lasted for ten years, many books and cultural assets were destroyed. The stone bookstore in Yeogang County also disappeared, unable to withstand the ten-year turmoil.”

“Then… … what about the people? Did they all die?”

“It is said that the people who lived there left Yeojanghyeon and went to Korea.”

“Korea?”

“Yeah, most likely they’ve settled in Incheon’s Chinatown. Do you plan on looking for them?”

“No. I’m going to go to Seokgyeongjang first.”

“Didn’t they say it was all burned down to ashes? I don’t know if it was rebuilt after that… … . Do you still want to go?”

Jin Gwa-wol couldn’t read Yeon Jeok-ha’s thoughts.

What are you going to do by visiting the stone monument that burned down 57 years ago?

“Yes, I have something to find in the stone quarry.”

“I don’t know what it is… … but I wonder if it’s still there.”

“If the Yeons hadn’t taken it to Korea, it would have remained there.”

“Were the people who lived in Seokgyeongjang the Yeon clan?”

“yes.”

“Oh, really.”

Jin Gwa-wol felt sorry for him because it was clear that he was not of sound mind, but she did not try to stop him.

The man who came out of the vice president’s office walked with a blank expression on his face.

It’s fortunate that people are safe, but the more I thought about it, the more unbelievable it became.

I read an article about the Cultural Revolution at a bookstore.

‘What the heck is going on?’ I was shocked, but the stone quarry was destroyed at that time.

I once again feel that ‘the world is unpredictable’.

Does the Goocheonhyeonnyeo Gyeong still remain at the Seokgyeongjang site?

Could it be that someone stole it during the chaos of the great fire?

If not, would their descendants have taken it with them when they moved to Korea?

With complicated thoughts, he started walking without thinking.
