Chapter 399 – Mother and Daughter’s Resolution (1)
After Lu Bu left the airport with his men.
The saint was able to board the plane back to her home country safely.
Before putting herself fully on her plane, she turned around and thanked me.
“Thank you very much.”
“It was a deal, right?”
It wasn’t something she deserved a thank you for.
I just did it because it was a deal.
If nothing else, I saved someone’s life, so I have to do as much as I can.
“You are such an unpredictable person.”
She was puzzled.
I just faithfully fulfilled the terms of the deal, but what part is it that I can’t figure out?
“No matter how much of a deal it is, not many people go that far. And…”
She paused for a moment and then shook her head.
“No, we’ll talk about this later.”
“… “Later?”
Well.
Will we ever see each other again in the future?
What… , I’ll have to see it if our schedules overlap, but I’m not the type of person who actually wants to see it that much.
I need to be able to see what kind of expression they are making and what kind of eyes they are making beyond that veil.
“You said it was a deal, but to me it was a favor. “Because you saved not only my life, but also the lives of the knights.”
“That means… ?”
“If you need my help, please contact me anytime. “I will help in any way I can.”
An unexpected reward comes along.
It is the help of a saint who takes off her feet.
At this level, it is safe to say that one life has been saved.
While she was internally happy, she continued speaking.
“And I would like to ask you one thing.”
“Please speak.”
“Please don’t lose your mind.”
“… ?”
Don’t lose your mind now.
What are you talking about?
Just as she was about to open her mouth to clear her doubts, she turned around and stepped inside her plane.
I’m sure I could have caught her if I had raised my voice, but I didn’t.
He turned his back exactly when I was about to ask.
That means you don’t want to or can’t answer whatever the question is.
“What… “You don’t need to know.”
Whether you know it or not.
There will be no change in my mind.
I’ve never lived as comfortably as I do now, and I’ve rarely had happy moments.
After confirming that the plane carrying the saint is running down the runway and soaring into the sky, he turns his back.
“Now I have to go back too.”
It’s time to go back to Korea.

After returning to the hideout, Yeo Bu was quietly lost in thought.
The operation was a failure.
But she didn’t feel too bad.
Of course, it is unfortunate that she was unable to deal with the saint who would turn into her enemy at any moment.
‘William Turner.’
It was thanks to meeting an opponent I liked quite a bit.
“I never thought there would be such a warrior hiding in the Vatican…”
It was a moment when my perception of the country called the Vatican changed.
I thought they were only good at protecting the Paladin family they boasted about.
That doesn’t seem to be the case.
“That’s fun.”
He had ambitions to rule the world beyond this country, but his essence did not change.
Warrior.
A race that reflects on the meaning of life by facing strong enemies.
Although the man named William was still lacking in many ways, he was a talented person with a promising future.
So how could you not be happy that you found an enemy you like?
But this is only limited to feelings.
“… “Things went awry.”
The fact that the plan went wrong doesn’t change.
His presence in his country has already gone far beyond that of the president of the country.
Therefore, it is clear that this country will fall into my hands at any time.
However, as this plan went awry, the timing was delayed.
Several plans have already gone awry due to external interference.
There was no time to delay any longer.
At the moment, I was wondering if I should raise an army and take over the country by force.
Smart!
Someone knocked on the door.
“General, a guest has arrived.”
“Who are you?”
“He is a black market figure.”
“… Black market?”
It’s a black market.
Currently, the shadow market, including the black market, is undergoing upheaval by the day due to changes in the power structure.
It was obvious that he was a shadowy person who would come to visit at a time like this.
He must be the one causing the upheaval from behind the scenes.
“Bring it inside.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and a man walked in.
He was a skinny man wearing a black beanie just above his eyebrows.
She was so thin that her cheeks were hollow and her cheekbones were prominent.
At the moment when Lu Bu’s eyes narrowed at the sight reminiscent of a sick person.
The man bows his head politely and says hello.
“Hello, General.”
A voice that feels very thin and cunning for a man.
“I am Master Farm of the ‘Adrenaline’ clan, which is active in the shadows.”
Clan.
This is a term used by the active underworld and villains in China to refer to their group.
And Adrenaline is the clan currently making the most noise in the shadows.
Because they are the main characters of the cataclysm that is currently taking place.
“That rat of the shadows somehow managed to show his face to me.”
This was a very brave, no, reckless act.
The reason why Yeo Bu interferes with the government’s secret conquest is simply to reduce the people’s trust in the government.
I wasn’t worried about shadowy forces.
On the contrary, it was the opposite.
After the government’s operation failed, Lu Bu planned to step forward and suppress the shadowy forces.
If that happens, the government will fall and naturally swallow them up.
“I appreciate the courage you have found me, so I will at least listen to you.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man who introduced himself as Pam opened his mouth.
“I heard that the government is planning an operation to subdue us.”
Lu Bu’s eyebrows frowned slightly.
“… “Where did you pick that up?”
Palm smiles at the sharp question and vaguely answers it.
“If people like us are to survive, don’t we have to be tactful?”
It wasn’t information you could know just because you had a good sense of humor.
This is an operation that the current government is pursuing in complete secrecy.
It was information that even Yeo Bu himself could barely find out.
How can the target of subjugation acquire that information in advance?
The answer was obvious.
This operation is one that only a very small number of people within the government are aware of.
That would mean that one of those few people is in a relationship with them.
Yeo Bu shakes his head at that miserable fact.
“This country is in such bad shape.”
I really couldn’t help but feel sad.
Even when the shadowy forces they accepted have expanded excessively and the country is in danger, there is an idiot who is leaking information to the target of subjugation to take care of his own interests.
He let out a small sigh and warned Palm.
“Tell me quickly why you came to see me. “The limit of my patience is slowly approaching.”
“Please support the soldiers under your command.”
Yeo-po frowns at the direct request for help.
“Are you telling me to join hands with you now?”
“If you would just do that, it would be great for us… “If you don’t feel like it, how about considering it as a temporary transaction?”
It’s a deal.
He asked, slightly interested.
“Tell me what I get.”
“Aren’t you hoping that the government’s operation will fail?”
This means that if you provide support, you will cause the government’s operation to fail.
Lu Bu snorted at that absurd price.
If only the government were their opponent, they too might be able to predict victory.
The current government has become extremely corrupt because it has been in power for a long time.
But this time it was impossible.
“The government has already joined hands with Korea, Japan, and the Vatican. “Do you think you can survive against all of them?”
“It is entirely possible if our organization and the general join hands.”
I got curious.
What is the basis for their confidence that they can defeat the punitive force formed by a total of four countries, including Korea, China, Japan, and the Vatican?
“Give me a reason.”
In response to Lu Bu’s firm reply, Pam took out one of her pills from her inner pocket and showed it to him.
It was none other than the Narcotics Redemption Committee created with the energy of Yeo Bu.
“I heard that the Red Crime Commission is having difficulties with reform recently.”
“… So.”
Yeo-po reacts sharply when pointed out the most troublesome situation recently.
Palm responded.
“We will help you improve it.”
“…”
An offer was made to him that he could not refuse.

While Kim Do-jin suddenly left for China, Shin Yu-jeong was deeply troubled.
And today, I finally put an end to that worry.
Maybe later, no, not long after, you may end up regretting your current choice.
However, it is undeniable that it is definitely an attractive option right now.
“… Fuck, I don’t know.”
And half of it was despair.
I’m afraid of the world pointing fingers, but what can I do?
Both you and Kim Do-jin are already doing things that go against common sense.
Whether I took a step further from here or not, it was the same as remaining in an emergency situation.
With that in mind, Shin Yu-jeong left the room and stood in front of her mother, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
“Mom.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s form an alliance with me.”
It was the moment before the birth of a real blood alliance.
