Chapter 876 – 867 Abduction and Hwan-Innae Talk
A few days after the Incheon Bukhang faction was attacked by Geumran and came under Geumran’s protection.
Hwanin intensively monitored an OL woman with the code name Hyewol.
I wake up early in the morning in a luxury apartment in Gangdong-gu, have a wake-up routine, shower, eat, and then go to Geumran for work. Afterward, I proceed with my daily routine, develop myself after work, eat, take a bath, then go to bed, and sleep at 10pm.
There are no holidays or weekends, and the routine after going to work at 6 a.M. Is simple.
There are three special rooms in the internal organization of Geumran. Rather than being divided according to role, there are silver orchids, copper orchids, and blue orchids based on performance, performance, and ability.
And there are multiple groups in each group, among them Hye-wol, the leader of the third petal of the orchid, instructs her members to track down her Skull Face and Gold Dropper, while she herself watches out for Ki Woo-hyuk. And investigate.
Ki Woo-hyuk has now returned to Baekwang Kendo and is working in the information general department.
He is also a person who deals with information and has even been mentioned as the successor to Baekwang Kendo.
If it is discovered that Geum-ran is conducting a background investigation, it could lead to a conflict between Baekwang Kendo and Geum-ran. You can’t do it in vain.
However, this does not mean that Hyewol has legitimacy and justification in this investigation.
Putting up suspicions based on intuition that cannot be scientifically proven as evidence and justification is the same as saying let’s fight.
Anyway, Hye-wol was convinced that there was some kind of connection between the unidentified duo that attacked Ki Woo-hyuk and the trio of Skull Face and Gold Dropper.
But Hye-wol, who trusts her sixth sense, has no other options. In particular, her sixth sense, which is accompanied by a feeling of pain in her lower abdomen, boasts an accuracy close to 100%.
Because of that, her period came a week early!
As long as there is evidence to support that belief, a formal report can be made to her godmother. Then, the number of cases she has investigated will go up in her top code of conduct, and her team will move up one level in her organization’s ranking for that achievement.
Although Hyewol was more interested in Congo products, she was also well aware of how dangerous this job was.
A person who spends billions of won worth of gold.
A man who single-handedly wipes out dozens of elite gangsters like the Special Forces and disappears without a trace.
A person who gave birth to a former successor to Baekwang Kendo, one of the best in the world.
Isn’t every single one of them an extremely dangerous element?
Because of that, Hyewol was proceeding with the operation more cautiously and cautiously than ever before…
What would she have done if she had known that the person she was currently pursuing was watching her every move and learning all about her Geumran and Baekwanggeomdo, as well as Korea’s hidden world power structure and scope of influence?
And what would it have been like if she had known that that person was a god, a monster who could be wiped out in a second even if all the capable people in Korea rushed at him?
What choice would he have made if there were dozens of women under that belief who would slaughter them without even raising an eyebrow even if talented people from Korea, China, and Japan all came at them?
Hyewol was slowly moving toward the cheese like a mouse in a mousetrap.
[Hyuk. What happened to what I asked for?]
[Brother, I think it would be best to take your hands off that work. There are many circumstances that the speculum noticed.]
[Umm… It was something my father cared about, so a lot of investment went into it.]
[One of the people we are keeping an eye on is District Prosecutor General Park Cheol. Since they have a line connected to Geumran, not only do they not listen to what we say, but they may think it is a case and report it to Geumran.]
[If you do that, you will lose more than the cost you have invested so far… Wow, this is true.]
The man who was talking to Ki Woo-hyuk, a middle-aged man who resembled Ki Woo-hyuk, stroked his well-trimmed beard and smiled.
[Even now, I feel glad that you came back, and I also feel regretful that it would have been better if you had come back sooner. The human heart is so treacherous.]
Ki Woo-hyuk also smiled bitterly at what his older brother said with a smile.
How will he say that the reason for his return was the recommendation of a transcendent being that he could not measure?
Even if I told you, not only would they not believe me, but if I told you, Baekwanggeomdo itself, including yourself and your precious family, might evaporate.
Ki Woo-hyuk recalled the events of that day as he took out the information his older brother had requested from the pile of documents on his desk.
Hwanin, the person who suddenly appeared while living in hiding in Japan.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Ah… No, what do you think?”
“I was just looking for you, just like you were looking for me.”
Ki Woo-hyuk looked at Hwan-in, who was smiling, as if he couldn’t believe it.
He looks like he’s five years younger than when he saw him in person, and he’s even more handsome. He’s almost six feet tall, and his body proportions are golden, something he’s never seen before.
Of course, he had a great physique before, but if you compare then and now, the difference is as big as gold and silver.
Above all…
‘I put a lot of effort into erasing the traces, but how?’
“I put a lot of effort into erasing the traces, but I wonder how they were found.”
“… !”
“It’s not that difficult. Since we can’t keep talking outside, let’s talk inside.”
A tower mansion where relatively wealthy people in Japan live. Although there is a fair amount of privacy between residents, it is the same as luxury apartments in Korea.
When Ki Woo-hyuk sees Hwan-in entering the house, he reflexively touches his body… I tried to get off. That day, he remembered the warning of the kid who came with the silver hooded cloak.
The little boy, who was as cute as a baby angel, described Hwanin as an extremely dangerous person.
The fact that a child who had been walking around with a powerful man of such power that he could not even guess said that means that this man is also someone who plays in the same water.
If I had known that the request for a character investigation brokered by a high-ranking executive of a top conglomerate would be such a minefield, I would have refused even if I paid 100 million won…
Hwan-in enters the neatly organized living room of a luxury mansion and sits down on the sofa. The appearance is very natural and does not feel uncomfortable as if he were sitting in his own seat.
Ki Woo-hyuk said to his wife, who looked at Hwan-in with nervous eyes.
“Honey. “I’m in the room with So-eun.”
“But…”
“Are you okay. Don’t even call Cheolseung.”
If I had known that man would come, I would have sent him out of the house in advance, but he had already entered the house.
If he tries to send his wife and daughter out now, he might end up pulling out the tiger’s nose hair, so he lets his wife and only daughter into the room instead.
“You’re a cute daughter.”
“… This is a girl that won’t hurt even if you put it in your eyes. What would you like to drink? “We have everything from coffee, black tea, green tea, juice, and beverages.”
“I would like coffee, please.”
Ki Woo-hyuk made a cup of coffee using the coffee machine’s dripper and shook his head desperately.
He said that if it was enough to find him, it would take Baekwanggeom… No, the story is that it has the information power of the first leaf of a golden orchid. Even if he dies, he wants to save his wife and daughter…
Ki Woo-hyuk, who put down the coffee cup in front of Hwan-in, carefully sat down on the carpet opposite him and stared at him with a nervous look as he lifted the cup and savored the scent.
What story did that man change his name and face to find himself hiding in Japan?
“It smells good. “The skill of making coffee is quite good.”
“Because my hobby is coffee…”
“Coffee is a good hobby.”
From the exotic wood scent reminiscent of a subtropical jungle to the creeping spicy scent of spices. It is a proper Blue Mountain scent that has been dark roasted twice.
Hwanin felt a little better as he tasted good quality coffee and said with a smile.
“I will withhold the option of erasing you and your family from the world without a trace. “It would be sad for a coffee lover of this caliber to disappear from the world.”
“… !!”
Ki Woo-hyuk trembled at the feeling that the world was turning upside down with the man’s words.
The terrifying sensation of your soul leaving your body and plunging into the distant abyss of space. Ki Woo-hyuk’s entire body is covered in cold sweat in less than a second due to the experience of his soul being ejected.
《Before engaging in detective work, aren’t you also a resident of ‘that world’? You probably expected this situation to come. That’s probably why they abandoned their homeland and hid in this land.》
Every time I speak, my soul tingles. Who on earth is this man to allow something like this?
He almost died from the momentum that was only slightly revealed. A force that I have never felt even from my father, the master of the conduit, or from my godmother, the nine-tailed fox of Geumran.
Wasn’t it a rumor that a truly powerful person could commit ceremonial murder? … ?
When Ki Woo-hyuk realized that the evaluation of the child he met at that time was rather reduced, he knelt down and hit his head and asked for mercy.
“Under… I have no intention of adding excuses or cavils to the story I am about to tell. My daughter and my wife don’t know anything, so please don’t touch them. If you showed her mercy like that… “I will listen to whatever you say.”
“Good posture. There needs to be a proper way to endure the inconvenience and annoyance.”
Hearing the sound of laughter, Ki Woohyuk buried his head on the floor and his shoulders shook.
“I want to believe your story, but humans are basically adaptable animals. If we go back like this, doubt will sprout in our heads at any time…”
As Hwan-in pretends to be lost in thought, Ki Woo-hyuk looks up with his pale and sweaty face and swears.
“I swear on the lives of my wife and daughter that something like that will never happen. So please, I beg you to show mercy just once!”
Hwanin waved his hand as if showing off Ki Woohyuk’s action of hitting his forehead on the floor again. Then Ki Woo-hyuk loosens his head-down posture and becomes a sitting position.
At the sight of Heo Gong-seopmul, Ki Woo-hyeok was so shocked that he looked as if he might have a heart attack, and Hwan-in stood up and laughed when he saw that.
“Should the whip be like this? Then I will offer you a carrot to motivate you.”
“W-what…”
Hwan-in opened a visit to Ki Woo-hyuk’s wife Yoo So-hyeon and his daughter Yoo So-eun. Then Ki Woo-hyuk rushes to her, and Yoo So-hyun, who was sitting on the edge of her bed with her six-year-old daughter, hugs her daughter with her body and covers her with her frightened face as if to protect her.
When her husband beckoned again, Yoo So-hyun’s eyes widened as she felt her own body move of its own accord and retreat, leaving behind her daughter.
I want to scream at her not to touch her daughter, but her lips won’t move, like her mouth is zipped. The same goes for Ki Woo-hyuk.
Ki Woo-hyuk and Yoo So-hyeon, whose movements were blocked as if they were paralyzed, looked at Hwan-in and her daughter, who was trembling so hard that her eyes were bloodshot.
“You are So-eun. How old are you this year? 6 years old?”
“Yes… “I’m six years old.”
Yoo So-eun looks at Hwan-in’s face and answers with embarrassment, not knowing that her father and mother are upset.
Hwan-in looked at the girl with a gentle expression and poked her forehead with his index finger. Immediately afterward, Yoo So-eun fell behind her as if she had fainted and fell asleep.
Hwanin, who placed his hand on the girl’s solar plexus, used spiritual energy to block the area around the girl’s heart and suck out the chill that weakened her heart.
As the cold, which is the main culprit in narrowing blood vessels, is eliminated, blood circulation begins to gradually improve.
Then, the healer sends out smoke to heal and strengthen the weakened heart and blood vessels around the heart.
As the missing smoke, and the high-purity smoke that Ashin himself had purified, flowed into her body, the girl’s small heart quickly regained its normal movement and began pumping out hot blood.
The change was dramatic.
Yoo So-eun’s complexion, which looked a little pale and listless, turned red, and her complexion began to turn red.
The couple, who opened their eyes with a different meaning at the sight, realized that their bodies were moving and ran to pick up their daughter and check her condition.
“Oh, this can’t be happening. How… A famous doctor said it was a heart disease that was impossible to cure, but in this one moment… !”
Upon briefly encountering the girl as she entered the house, she realized that her blood vessels were blocked due to excessive cold and that her heart was not beating properly due to the cold.
It is modern science that has not proven the power of phase. This phase force puts pressure on the heart and gradually weakens it, so at this level, it would be an incurable disease on Earth.
“It is not completely cured. But even with this level, there will be no sudden death.”
“… !”
Hwan-in gathered the low-quality chills extracted from the girl’s heart, showed them to Ki Woo-hyuk and Yoo So-hyeon.
“What do you think? “Is this enough to be a carrot?”
The couple, who were shedding tears as they heard her daughter’s healthy beating heart, knelt down in front of her and bowed their heads.
“Please! I will do anything you ask if you will cure her daughter! Please… !”
Thanks to the spirit who is watching Baek Wanggeomdo, I found out that Ki Woo-hyuk was spending a lot of money every year to prevent her daughter’s condition from worsening and dying prematurely, rather than improving her condition.
So I lightly shook the bait, and the response was beyond my imagination.
‘I guess it’s a story about Ki Woo-hyuk and Yoo So-hyun being parents who are devoted to their children.’
Hwanin nodded, looking at the shadows of his parents in the two people.
“Mr. Ki Woo-hyuk. “I have only one instruction to give you.”
“Well, just say the word…”
[… Then I won’t go. Good luck.]
[Yes. Please work hard, brother.]
At Ki Woo-hyuk’s polite greeting, Ki Woo-hwan smiled happily and shook his hand.
[…]
Grumble- thump.
Ki Woo-hyuk, who closed the sliding window and sat down, turned his head and looked out the bright window.
It was thanks to him declaring his stance in front of his family that the author, who had always considered himself a thorn in his side, came out in such a friendly manner.
He said that he had no interest in inheriting the Taegwan, and after living outside for a long time, he realized that Baekwanggeomdo had a huge disadvantage.
If that shortcoming was left alone, it seemed that Baekwanggeomdo would suffer greatly in the near future, and as a member of the family, I couldn’t leave it alone, so I came back like this.
Baekwanggeomdo requires a proper information organization.
In addition, he declared that he returned because he realized that only family can truly support and worry about each other more than anything else in the world.
Thanks to him, with the help of Ki Woo-hwan, his wife and daughter were officially registered into the Baekju Gi family, and his brother-in-law, Yu Cheol Seung, was also accepted into Baekwanggeomdo.
Of course, there were some problems in the process, but Ki Woo-hwan eventually gave up his doubts in the face of his absolute concessions.
Her father’s personality may have become a bit rounder as he got older, or he simply accepted her granddaughter Yoo So-eun’s antics, and as a result, he was able to easily take over the information office that she had been running in her own way. 〉
What the man wanted from himself was to return to Baekwang Kendo and use what he saw and learned while working as a detective to Baekwang Kendo.
Of course, the antipathy towards my family, who opposed my marriage to my current wife due to the discord in the family, has not disappeared, but in order to save my daughter, I should bow my head to the unpleasant family and return to Baekwang Kendo.
[But I don’t understand…]
Why did he give such instructions? He said that it was helpful for him to process information like this in Baekwanggeomdo.
When we met again some time ago, he asked me carefully. Does he want to steal important information from Baekwanggeomdo?
‘I said no to that either.’
Ki Woo-hyuk, who was tapping the armrest with his index finger, slapped his cheeks with both hands and lost his thoughts.
What do you know? What he hoped for was instructions that were not problematic for both the law and human morality.
If I can save my daughter with this, if I can cure the incurable disease that afflicts her daughter 10 years from now, I can do anything.
These days, I feel so happy every time I see my daughter running around so cheerfully. Before that, she couldn’t walk properly and even if she walked a little bit, she would clutch her chest and scream.
Ki Woo-hyuk sat down at his desk again and began to wrestle with a large amount of documents.
And Hwanin, who had been watching the scene with the eyes of a hero, nodded his head.
“If we leave it like this, Baekwanggeomdo and Geumran will clash…”
There is only one reason why Hwanin sent Ki Woohyuk back.
The more Ki Woo-hyuk takes control of the information office and works, the more he can sit down and gather valuable news from home and abroad.
Baekwanggeomdo is also a somewhat narrow conduit with the government. He will be bombarded with all kinds of information that he cannot normally obtain, so he has no reason not to take action.
“Brother. Then there is no need for him to let Ki Woo-hyuk in… ?”
Baek Ryeo-gang, who brought the cut fruit and talked for a while, tilted his head slightly and became curious.
I wonder if there is any reason to use Ki Woo-hyuk when I could get the same information if I put the hero in the information room.
“There are limits to what a heroic spirit can do.”
“Limits?”
Considering that the soul of the Earth is too weak to be transformed into a heroic spirit, the number of heroic spirits that one can use in a complicated way is limited.
Moreover, it is a place where there is something like a sixth sense. It’s not like he doesn’t have the ability to capture the hero, and considering other risk factors, sending Ki Woo-hyuk back is the best course of action.
“Moreover, isn’t Ki Woo-hyuk a direct blood relative of the director? Since he is his biological child, the quality of information he will handle will be higher than that of other officials, so there is no reason not to use it.”
“Ah… !”
I’ve been attaching a heroic spirit to the current governor for several months because of how meticulous he is, but I’ve been unable to obtain much valuable information.
Gwanju sometimes talked to someone on the phone, and sometimes Ki Woo-hwan came to visit, and in the conversation, he only pointed out some context through Hwan-in’s insight.
Baek Ryeo-gang realized that Hwan-in’s explanation was short-lived and covered his cheeks with a little embarrassment.
“Come here.”
Hwanin, who found this cute, pulled Baek Ryeo-gang to sit on her thighs and tickled her cheek, and Baek Ryeo-gang started having a happy time, putting the cut fruit into his mouth with a beautiful smile.
