Episode 745: The Mysterious Woman
The main hall on the first floor of the Cheonin Tower.
“Your Majesty, I have come to tell you some very important news.”
Son Oh-gong said secretly.
“Are you trying to say that Im Buk-jin is dead?”
Joo Jun-nam was full of complaints, but he barely controlled himself and spoke calmly.
“I already know that. That guy was hit by the ‘Polar God Town Palace’ and died.”
“no.”
Son Oh-gong shook his head and corrected himself.
“Your Majesty, you have received false news. Imbukjin is only pretending to be dead. His injuries are not serious and he is still in good spirits.”
“what?”
Joo Jun-nam and Gal Mu-u screamed at the same time.
“Do you have any evidence?”
Joo Jun-nam looked at Son Oh-gong and spoke with a solemn expression.
“You shouldn’t fool me here.”
Son Oh-gong immediately took out Ryu Yeong-seok.
“Your Majesty, if you look at this you will understand.”
Joo Jun-nam received Ryu Young-seok half in doubt and played it back.
Then the saved screen was projected into the air.
Im Buk-jin on the screen had an ice arrow embedded in his left chest, but overall, he looked to be in very good condition.
He was holding two beautiful young maids in his arms, with glossy faces.
The sight of them drinking and chatting away seemed extremely debaucherous.
He looked a long way from being seriously injured and dying.
Joo Jun-nam’s head was spinning.
What is going on?
As we all know, Ryu Young-seok was incapable of manipulation.
Lim Buk-jin in Ryu Young-seok not only looks alive, but also energetic.
“How did you get this Ryu Yeong-seok?”
Joo Jun-nam asked with a very depressed expression.
The Sangjeolwon is currently sealed off like an iron gate and no outsiders can enter, so who could film a screen like this?
It would have been impossible without ordinary means.
Son Oh-gong said.
“I have a special way.”
“You came to me just to tell me the news?”
“Of course not. I came to see you, Your Majesty, because of the balance.”
“What kind of deposit are you talking about?”
“Of course, it’s the remainder of the payment to assassinate Im Buk-jin.”
“But that guy is still alive.”
“I’m alive now, but I’ll be dead soon.”
“What does that mean?”
“The fact that I can get this Ryu Young-seok means that I can approach him at any time.
There’s still an arrow in his chest. He’s probably pretty drained of strength. I can kill him at any moment.”
“Can you really do that?”
“I, Son Oh-gong, never deceive people.”
“Then when you kill them all, I’ll pay you the balance.”
“That won’t do. This time, I am confident. After killing him, I will immediately leave the Northern Sea Empire and run away, so Your Majesty the Lord must give me the balance.”
Joo Jun-nam was troubled.
He wanted Im Buk-jin to die.
This was the mission he had to perform in the North Sea Empire.
If he completes this mission, he will surely gain a great deal.
“Okay, I will accept it.”
Joo Jun-nam gritted his teeth.
He decided to trust Son Oh-gong for once.
He turned his head and looked at Galmu.
Galmu was holding a purple porcelain teacup and reminiscing about the conversation between the two people.
Then suddenly I felt Joo Jun-nam’s gaze and almost dropped the teacup.
My heart was pounding.
‘no way…….’
“Why are you looking at me? Don’t look at me.”
“Hehe, let’s go hyung……”
“I’m not your brother. I don’t know you.”
“Brother Gal, since you already lent me Hyunseok, could you lend me 400 more? That won’t make much of a difference, right…?”
“I have nothing. I am very poor now. That’s all for now.”
“Don’t go, go, I’ll write you a promissory note……”
“No, I really don’t have anything.”
“I’ll pay the interest. Eight cents a month! How about that?”
“Oh, really?”
“Indeed, not only can I write a promissory note in the name of God, but I will also wear the nameplate of the Heavenly Man and the status of the children of the Zhou family!”
“Oh, so then 400 Hyunseok would be enough? Actually, I could lend you more……”
“……”
Joo Jun-nam made a disgusted expression.
‘That son of a bitch Galmu, he really has some money.’
“No, exactly 400 is enough.”
Since the balance promised to Son Oh-gong was 400, Joo Jun-nam did not want to borrow more.
There was no need to borrow a lot because it would mean paying more interest.
At this point, Son Oh-gong intervened and said.
“400 is not enough.”
“What does that mean?”
Joo Jun-nam looked at Son Oh-gong and said with a dissatisfied expression.
“It’s not a very nice thing to charge too high a price.”
“That’s not it.”
Son Oh-gong said with a smile.
“This is not my job alone. I will be working with two other comrades this time. They have asked me to tell the Lord Zhou to give them the remaining money.”
“what?”
Joo Jun-nam was dazed for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and reacted.
“Are those two comrades really Sa-o-jeong and Jeo-moo-neung?”
His eyes flashed and he asked with a surprised look on his face.
“Your Majesty, you are truly intelligent, for you have guessed so accurately.”
Son Oh-gong added after a word of flattery.
“We met while trying to assassinate Im Buk-jin. They say men become friends through fighting, so we decided to work together for the second assassination. That’s why I’m confident that I can kill him this time.”
Joo Jun-nam was half in doubt.
Son Oh-gong immediately took out two jade secrets and handed them over.
Joo Jun-nam received the jade and broke them one by one.
Then, the innate sage energy of Sa-o-jeong and Jeo-moo-neung burst out from within.
The aura of dizziness of all the thousand-level strong men was unique and could not be replicated.
Even if it was a revelation from the spirit of God, it could not be completely imitated.
This was the immutable truth of the martial arts of this world.
So Joo Jun-nam was able to trust it right away.
But he paused for a moment, thought about it again, and then asked Son Oh-gong.
“After killing Im Buk-jin, where are you all planning to go in hiding?”
Son Oh-gong said as if it was obvious.
“Im Buk-jin was seriously injured, of course, but he wasn’t easy to kill.
In addition, as His Majesty the Lord knows, he has at least three celestial beings under his command. He also has a silver-haired rat beast that rivals the celestial beings, and more than twenty great masters of the extreme. It is a very scary force.
Besides, he is under the protection of the North Sea Empire, so the three of us cannot remain here.”
“So, have you already planned out the withdrawal route?”
Joo Jun-nam asked.
But Son Oh-gong just laughed and said nothing.
Joo Jun-nam realized what he was worried about and immediately explained it.
“Don’t worry. I have no ill will toward you. Rather, I hope you will join our Zhou family.
Our Zhou family is the descendants of the imperial aristocracy of the Greater Empire. They are truly the three highest-level celestials. Even if you do not want to be bound and do not naturalize as an official, you can still enjoy various training resources. It will be much better than living as an independent practitioner.”
“Haha, so that’s what the Lord Zhou meant.”
Son Oh-gong showed a rather positive attitude.
“It will depend on how many conditions His Majesty the Lord can set in the future.
Besides, the three of us still have a debt left. I don’t know if the Lord Zhou can afford it.”
“Don’t worry, our Zhou family is the best, so I will definitely return everyone’s favor.”
Joo Jun-nam said as if he would take responsibility for everything.
As he spoke, he took out a small tablet and placed it on his palm.
“If you trust me, after successfully assassinating Im Buk-jin, take this badge and go to the Central Empire Alliance delegation and ask for me. I will arrange everything.”
“Your Majesty, were you from the Central Imperial delegation?”
Son Oh-gong was so surprised that a light flashed from deep within his eyes.
Joo Jun-nam captured this without missing a beat.
“exactly.”
Joo Jun-nam said with an arrogant expression.
Sun Wukong’s expression suddenly became polite and he reached out to accept the talisman.
“Then I will not refuse. Your Majesty, you must give us the remaining balance for the three of us. Each person will receive 400 hyunseok, so a total of 1,200 will be sufficient.”
Joo Jun-nam felt heartbroken, but he eventually gritted his teeth and wrote a loan agreement.
And he pledged his title of Heavenly Man and his status as a disciple of the Ju family and borrowed 1,200 Hyeonseok from Galmuu.
“Your Majesty, as expected from a great man of a great country, your hands are very large.”
Son Oh-gong picked up the stone and spoke with a very satisfied expression.
“I will send Imbukjin’s head to the Cheonin Tower at this time tomorrow.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left the Cheonin Tower with Hyunseok.
Joo Jun-nam watched Son Oh-gong’s back as he walked away with a bitter expression.
My heart ached, but I also felt hopeful.
Galmu looked at the loan certificate in his hand and smiled without realizing it.
‘Oh no. I made a mistake. If I had known this would happen, when Im Buk-jin forced Joo Jun-nam to borrow Hyun-seok, I should have signed a loan sharking contract with him. That would have been much more profitable than plunder.’
“Brother Gal, how do you have so many Hyunseok?”
Joo Jun-nam, who had come to his senses, looked at Galmu with a puzzled expression and asked.
“As we all know, your master is a spendthrift and a debtor. He could not have saved this much money on his salary.”
Galmu held a purple porcelain teacup in his hand and smiled faintly.
“That’s a secret.”
* * *
Graduate school.
The ward was open, and the Silver Guard patrolled from time to time.
A-Gwang was also hiding and constantly searching everywhere.
Except for Bukjin, they all spun around like a wound-up clock, never stopping for a moment.
This level of defense would be inaccessible even if the U-Seobuk were to be revived.
But there was a mysterious figure standing on the roof of the temple, looking down, as if he were a vision.
It was as if I could see everything in the garden.
Even though the moonlight was shining on his body, no shadow was cast on the floor.
The hem of Shinyoung’s clothes fluttered in the night breeze that blew gently.
The tight-fitting clothes clearly showed off her body’s curves.
The person was a woman.
She was clearly standing on the roof, but to Eunbaekwi’s eyes, she did not appear to be real.
The mysterious woman watched for a moment, then turned her gaze to the tower thirty steps away from the Sangjolwon.
Sasamtong, the ‘Visacheonin’ from Ryusa Kingdom, was glaring at Sangjolwon with his sharp eyes like a sword from the 6th floor of the main building.
He was under the orders of the ‘Shin Jeon Cheon In’ Gye Musang and was keeping an eye on Im Buk Jin and others here.
The mysterious woman frowned slightly, but eventually turned away without doing anything.
