When a person is faced with an unexpected situation, their thinking is paralyzed for a moment.
It was not different from Yeorin Hong. The insults biting the tail were passed somehow, but I never imagined that there would be such a superpower.
She opened her eyes and looked at Cheon Ha-jin.
It's a calm expression. Her eyes are directed at herself, but she felt determined as if she was seeing something beyond them.
'Ser, really?'
At that time, the escort captain lowered his head.
"I will send a message to the Demon Shrine. However, how long will it take until the entry permit is issued... … ."
"It doesn't matter."
"All right. As soon as permission is given, I will prepare the wagon."
The captain of the escort, who was moderately courteous, stepped back with a gun.
Hong Yeo-rin involuntarily stopped breathing.
'I mean it!'
In fact, there is no need to ask again.
This is because no one has gone so far as to falsely request entry into the Demon Palace.
The demon palace is a sanctuary that the school leaders fight all kinds of dirty politics, but never touch.
demon palace.
It is the dwelling place of the religious leader, the incarnation of Pasoon, the heavenly demon who rules the realm of desire, and a gigantic temple that is considered sacred in itself.
This madman really intends to go to the Demon Shrine, the Gyojujeon, with that memorandum.
"Three Gongja!"
Chun Ha-jin didn't answer, sat down on the bed and crossed his arms. She wasn't interested in her in the first place, but she really didn't know anymore.
Hong Yeo-rin was restless with a pale face.
He was the one who turned the one-on-one fight into a local battle, but it was the three fighters who turned it into an all-out war.
And she didn't have the confidence to handle this all-out war.
"… … Do you want to die with me now?"
Chun Ha-jin smiled.
"I won't do it unless it's a profitable business."
"I beg your pardon?"
"If I die with you, I will be the only one who suffers, so why die with you? Do you think your neck is worth it?"
Hong Yeo-rin's face was distorted.
"What are you trying to hear from the headmaster?"
"Any problem?"
"If the headmaster finds out that you made a deal with me, you won't be safe either!"
"whatever?"
"what?!"
"Tsk tsk."
Chun Ha-jin flicked his index finger left and right.
"I don't want to talk about hurting my mouth anymore, so I'll just tell you. You're right. If I knew that this sadal was happening, I would be in a state of confusion.
He's a guy who's lost his martial arts anyway, so he might kick you out."
"… … ."
"It's me, but what about you?"
Hong Yeo-rin's eyes shook violently.
"Your family is amazing, everyone in the world knows, but there's something else to do with that. If I'm serious, I'll be expelled, but if you're stubborn, you'll be imprisoned.
It's only natural that he'll be robbed of the enemy for the crime of misplacing my daughter."
Do not be ridiculous!
Yeorin Hong wanted to say that. But deep down, she had already admitted that the other person was right.
Arms bend inward.
If the words and actions she showed today are known, the three Gongja will also be treated as ugly, but she will be buried in the Madou Murim.
And in the worst case, the enemy will also go out of sight of the leader.
'What the hell?!'
she couldn't understand The Three Gongs she knew were never the kind of people who would shake hands like this.
So, she too was able to come out strong.
The reason why I was sure that the Three Gongja would not shake hands.
"you… … Don't you want to hold the presidency?"
His ambitions are comparable to his own.
He was a man who would do anything to become the next successor.
There was a reason why he was sure that he would never do something that would crush his opponent while cutting his own reputation.
However, Chun Ha-jin's answer was speculative.
"uh."
"What, what?!"
Even if you add up all the shocks you received before, you won't be as embarrassed as you are now.
"I don't know how you saw me, but that was a long time ago. I am not interested in the presidency right now."
"why?!"
"What a pretty stupid bitch. Will it be, the successor? With this body?"
Chun Ha-jin laughed as if he was having fun.
"You know that, so you came here, didn't you?"
"… … !"
"Why were you so sure my desires would be the same when you knew there was no hope?"
For a moment, Hong Yeo-rin felt like she had been hit in the back of the head.
Yes. She no longer thought of the Three Gongs as a red horse she could ride.
It's a sick horse, but it was once a great horse that covered a thousand li in a day.
He should have thought about what he would do when the famous horse was cornered.
Only those who already hold the reins, the conviction that they have an advantage over their opponents.
Crucially, the vague confidence that she would never be harmed drove her into a corner.
"I don't want to look like you, so stop leaving."
Chun Ha-jin closed his eyes. By controlling her mind, she regained her composure.
On the other hand, Yeorin Hong could not relax at all.
As time passed, my heart was beating wildly with anxiety. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his complexion became visibly pale.
'no! Things can't go on like this!'
The other person was sincere, and there is no choice but to be sincere. The escort commander had already gone to the Demon Shrine to put a pipe on it.
She frantically shook her head. She thought over and over again to solve this situation for the best.
But I couldn't find any answer.
'What do we do? how… … ?'
Then, Chun Ha-jin opened his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
"… … ."
"Should I call the escorts and kick them out? Get out, quickly."
Hong Yeo-rin bit her lip.
no answer?
no. there is. However, the contents written on the answer sheet were so humiliating and humiliating.
If I died, I would die. An answer I never wanted to choose.
"I… … How can I do it?"
Chen Ha-jin frowned.
"What are you talking about?"
Hong Yeo-rin bit her lip. Her blood flowed from her bitten lip, but she didn't even recognize it.
"How can I not tell the headmaster?"
"When I said go out, this sounded crazy and I fell asleep. Take those rice cake sticks and disappear quickly, you bitch."
My fists are clenched at the naked swear words. But I couldn't say that I would raise the amount like before.
charter reversal.
She, who pressured the trio with a deal, now finds herself in a situation where she has to make the deal a thing of the past.
What can I do to make all the secret deals of the past never happen?
rustle.
Hong Yeo-rin took out the contract and listened.
two contracts. It was a genuine copy of each other's handwriting.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked down at the contract.
Until just now, it looked like the best hand to put pressure on your opponent, but now it looks like a knife to cut your own throat.
Chii profit!
Chen Ha-jin's eyes shone.
Hong Yeo-rin tore the contract in half and then in half again. Then he put it on the candle next to him.
Fire.
Two contracts burning in the fire.
It was the moment when the amount of 12,000 Nyang was turned into ashes.
Yeorin Hong said.
"The memorandum is with you, but since the contract has disappeared, there is no physical evidence either."
There was a deep sense of defeat and a hint of relief in his softly trembling voice.
Chun Ha-jin tilted his head.
"Yes, but does that mean anything?"
"… … ?"
"Aren't you seeing the most powerful man in Murim too easily?
Is the head of the Great Heavenly Demon Goddess the kind to deal with people while examining whether there is physical evidence or not?"
"… … !"
"If he calls you a criminal, you just become a criminal, whether there is physical evidence or not."
Burr.
Hong Yeo-rin's hands trembled.
Chun Ha-jin let out a laugh.
"The important thing is not the contract or memorandum, but what I say to the headmaster.
Just like you tried to stir up public opinion with false rumors."
"… … ."
"You can do it, why do you think I can't? Do you really live an easy life?"
Chun Ha-jin waved his hand.
"I'm too lazy to say more. Go, man."
"I am… … ."
"How come he never listens to me at once. Shut up! I have nothing to say."
Hong Yeo-rin's expression was now a mess to the point where it was pitiful to look at.
Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to use the last move.
It was more disgraceful than throwing the tile in one's hand and destroying it.
Hiding in a corner of my head, but subconsciously ignoring and excluding it, the real answer to solve this situation.
It was just surrender.
'Submit? You say you lower your head?'
You mean I have to lower my head just because I'm afraid of this guy's snout? is this me?
'never!'
Absolutely not. It was a matter of pride for a person named Hong Yeorin.
but… … If you don't keep your head down, your future life will be a mess. Furthermore, it was clear that it would damage the family's reputation.
Hong Yeo-rin, who has always enjoyed only the fruits of success with the power of her family on her back, is the first to face the limit.
The wall called the limit was much taller, wider, and harder than I had vaguely imagined.
'profit!'
Should I really give in? Do I really have to get down on my knees because of this nonsense?
Chun Ha-jin shouted while looking at the cherry blossoms.
"Ah, it's annoying. Aenghwa! Call the escort warriors! These junk things just have to be dragged out... … ."
"… … do."
"huh?"
fluff.
Hong Yeo-rin knelt down and bowed her head.
trembling body. But the trembling was not due to fear.
"A girl… … ."
She closed her eyes tightly.
Transparent tears filled with arrogance fell.
"The girl dared to disrespect the nobles of Protestantism. I beg you, I beg you to have mercy on me."
Chun Ha-jin looked down at her with cold eyes.
The trembling in Hong Yeo-rin's body only got worse. I could see how much she despised the situation right now.
"… … ."
A thick silence fell.
In the long silence, only the sound of Hong Yeorin's rough breathing could be heard.
how long has it been
Roaring!
There was the sound of something burning.
"This is the end of our debt relationship."
"… … ."
"get out."
Hong Yeo-rin got up without answering. Because her head was lowered, her expression could not be seen.
That's how Hong Yeo-rin and the two attendants disappeared.
"Whoa! It's a really dirty neighborhood."
I felt like it was okay to tell the principal about the deal with Hong Yeo-rin, or not. But it's safer not to do it.
Chen Ha-jin's expression became serious.
"Now we just have to wait."
After all, Hong Yeo-rin is just a flying insect that is not worth worrying about. What was important to him now was the conversation with the religious leader.
What if he doesn't meet you?
Then you can't help it. After completely reorganizing your body, you have no choice but to think again about how to get out of the suburbs.
But what if the headmaster met him?
What if the ruthless master who had not summoned himself after waking up from a demon for three months allowed his disciple to enter the palace?
'I'll have to go with the regular method.'
half a day thereafter.
The voice of the captain of the escort was heard outside the door.
"Confucius, there is a call from the Demon Shrine."
"How have you been?"
"The permit has been issued. Now that the wagon has been prepared, prepare for entering the palace."
Chun Ha-jin woke up slowly.
There was a hint of tension on his smiling face.
"Shall we go?"
Suddenly, the affair with Hong Yeo-rin disappeared from his mind.
