## Chapter 52 – 05. Knight of Muyeol
+++
“Huff…! Haa…! Keueuk!”
He ran with all his might.
Twigs and leaves scratched his face and body, leaving countless wounds, and he stepped on sharp fragments as he ran barefoot,
Yet, he didn’t stop.
Pyoong – !
“Eek!”
The sound of air being torn apart echoed from far behind, making him even more terrified and increasing his speed.
However, a bare-bodied person, no matter how fast, could never outrun an arrow.
“S, save me…!”
Thwack.
“…!”
In the end, an arrow pierced his head from behind, and he collapsed.
“Keok…. Euh… Ugh….”
Falling helplessly, he looked up at the arrowhead protruding from between his eyebrows, marking the end of his life.
A moment later.
A man in a black suit appeared, pushing through the path he had run through.
He examined the corpse, checked the location where the arrow was lodged, and immediately reported.
“Hit directly in the center of the head. Confirmed immediate death.”
And without any respect for the dead, he roughly put the body into a body bag.
.
.
Beep – !
“Direct hit in the center of the head! 11 points!!”
A man shouted from atop a massive vehicle specially designed for hunting.
The men in suits, who had been watching carefully, applauded and cheered in unison.
“Executive Director, nice shot!!”
“As expected of you, Executive Director! Truly amazing!!”
Clap clap clap clap.
The sight of nearly ten people cheering and applauding with all their might was quite bizarre and strange.
Especially their expressions.
They were cheering with smiles, but they all looked so artificial that it felt rather sad.
Nevertheless, the protagonist of this scene, the woman who shot the arrow, pulled back the bowstring, smiling brightly as if she felt refreshed.
“Oh, you’re all too kind. It’s all thanks to my teacher.”
She smiled radiantly, put down the large bow and arrow, and twisted open the cap of a refreshingly chilled drink.
Tss!
“To our invincible gold medalist, Teacher Ahn, this student offers a drink~.”
“Ah…. T, thank you, thank you….”
The woman in uniform held the glass with trembling hands.
Even then, she worried about spilling the drink and tried to suppress the trembling as much as possible.
“Cheers!”
“Ch, cheers…!”
‘Crazy bitch…!’
She had come along, thinking it was just hunting, but this hunting wasn’t the usual kind where you catch deer or something.
It was hunting living people.
And they were even keeping score.
Hitting the center of the head, right between the eyebrows, was 11 points,
Hitting the head elsewhere was 10 points,
The neck was 9 points.
They were competing by assigning points to different body parts in that manner.
‘At least don’t smile.’
What was most shocking was that she was doing this with a smiling face.
She looked so innocent while doing this, it was chilling.
“Alright~, now that we’ve quenched our thirst~. Shall we move on to the next one~.”
Gominji stretched and warmed up, then picked up the bow and arrow again.
“Excuse me, Executive Director.”
At that moment, a man approached her with a troubled expression.
“We have a problem in Nonsan.”
“Oh? What kind of problem?”
“One of the trainee knights was found with his testicles and genitals ruptured. It has been confirmed that his life is not in danger, but he has been castrated-“
“Wait a minute. Nonsan? Are you talking about the knight training center?”
“Yes.”
She, who had been smiling, became serious.
“That’s where Muyeol went. Was there an accident? Is he hurt??”
“Rather than an accident, well…”
“Speak clearly. Is he hurt?”
“N, no. The young master is unharmed.”
Gominji sighed.
“You should have said that first, damn it…. But.”
“Well…. It is believed that the young master is the one who castrated the trainee knight. He used his exclusive knight.”
Gominji put down the bow and arrow.
“So, Muyeol made a trainee knight a eunuch by ordering his newly exclusive knight to do it?”
“To be precise, there is a love triangle between the exclusive knight Baekseol and the trainee knight, but in many circumstances, it is highly likely that the young master created the situation.”
The man sent her the mind scan information of Jin Guok.
“Hmm.”
It was clear that Baekseol was the one who proactively crushed the trainee knight’s testicles.
But when she saw Muyeol clapping and cheering, or scenes of him unnecessarily provoking the trainee, it seemed fair to say it was Muyeol’s intention.
Especially ‘that’ scene.
When the trainee knight went to Baekseol’s dorm, Muyeol deliberately had sex there.
– Aren’t you a stalker? It feels exactly like that.
– I wonder if he’ll come out if I do this?
– Hmm, is he not here? Is he not coming out?
From Jin Guok’s perspective, only Baekseol’s face sticking out of the door was visible, but judging from the sounds and Go Muyeol’s lines, it was obvious.
He deliberately had sex to show off.
The actions that followed were the same.
He continued to make remarks that intentionally provoked the trainee knight.
She sighed deeply.
“How much is he worth, and he’s treating him however he wants. 5 years in the lab, 15 years in the training center. A 20-year project…. Ugh, I just want to stretch his cheeks and make him cry, ‘I’m sorry.’ He’s still wet behind the ears.”
She waved her hand and dismissed the hologram.
“Send this irregular to the lab.”
“Should we re-brainwash him? A backdoor has occurred, and if we leave him like this, it could all unravel.”
Gominji was indifferent.
“Why bother? Leave him alone. He’s only hurting himself if he doesn’t have brainwashing.”
“….”
“They’re just things that have to do what they’re told and die when they’re told to anyway. We’re spending money to brainwash them for their own good, but if they have such wicked thoughts instead of being grateful, why would I want to treat them well?”
“….”
“There’s no need to reconstruct his genitals, just use him for experiments. Then this idiot will realize how grateful he should have been for the brainwashing. We gave him birth, gave him abilities, and even brainwashed him so he wouldn’t feel bad. We did everything for him, so why is he like this?”
The non-brainwashed ordinary man was silent for a moment before answering.
“…Understood, Executive Director.”
+++
“Have you arrived, Young Master?”
“Yup.”
He arrived at the house prepared in Ganghwa.
Calling it a house, it was just the top floor of the Goryeo Entertainment office.
Thanks to the AV, it only took about an hour in terms of time, but since it was a bit of a distance, he felt subtly tired.
‘Or is it? Is it because I had sex?’
“Ah. Introduce yourself. This is Baekseol, my exclusive knight. And this is Seo Eunmi, my secretary.”
“I am Baekseol.”
“…I am Seo Eunmi.”
Baekseol greeted confidently, but Eunmi had a somewhat reluctant expression.
Looking closely, she seemed a bit nervous.
‘Is she wary? Well, she’s a NIS spy. She can’t help but be wary if a knight suddenly appears around me.’
Now that he had a trustworthy right-hand man, it was time to start messing with Eunmi.
Until now, Seo Eunmi had the best specs among the people around him, including Sua, so there was no one else he could entrust with the task.
But if he stabbed her with Prestige, things would get too big.
But now he had a knight.
A knight of his own who he could confide in and order to do anything.
After roughly introducing Baekseol to various people, he took her to his room separately.
“No eavesdropping or anything, right?”
She scanned his room and replied.
“No. There isn’t.”
He sat on the bed and patted the spot next to him.
As if she had some idea of what he was thinking, Baekseol blushed and approached.
Then she started to take off her clothes-
“Just sit down.”
“? O, okay.”
Perhaps because he had sex with her in her room and in the AV, she seemed to think of him as some kind of sex maniac who only knew about sex.
It wasn’t that bad, though.
“Do you remember the girl I introduced earlier? Seo Eunmi.”
“Yes.”
“She’s a spy.”
“???”
“But there’s no evidence. Watch her closely at all times, and if you see anything suspicious, report it to me. If you think you can get solid evidence, then do as you see fit.”
“Kill her?”
“No. If we secure evidence, we’ll capture her and train her.”
“….”
She didn’t seem to understand.
“If you’re so sure, can’t you just catch her now? There are many ways to make her confess.”
“That’s true, but if I just grab her and beat her without any visible evidence, how can the other girls live in peace? They’re already anxious every moment.”
“Ah.”
“I told you yesterday? They’re all slaves, unlike you.”
“Yes. You did say that.”
“Right. So keep a close eye on her. And don’t tell anyone about this. I’m only telling you.”
“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”
After the conversation was roughly over, he called Sua.
“You called?”
“Seol will be in charge of setting up the mercenary company. Being a knight, she’ll have a free pass for everything related to this, right?”
“Not exactly a free pass, but it will be much easier. Basic training? I’ll have to look into the details.”
“Seol will establish the mercenary company, and I’ll hire those mercenaries. That’s perfect. I’ll set up a corporation as soon as I dispose of the stock, so get ready.”
“Yes. Understood, Master.”
“And we’re going to Sinan this Saturday, so prepare for that too. I’m taking all the fucktoys with me.”
“Sinan? You’re taking everyone?”
“Yeah. There’s something I need to find. And it’s a good opportunity for the fucktoys to bond.”
“….”
Next week is Chuseok.
Grandfather gave him the gift of a knight, and White Sister gave him an AV, so he couldn’t just sit still, could he? He had to bring something.
Since his grandfather liked Go, he was thinking of bringing him a Go board made by a master that he could find in Sinan. And he didn’t know what to give his sister, but he thought he might find the answer by talking to the girls.
