He received favorable reviews from Gyeomsaik.
Was he the one who sent it? Sa Hae-ryeong’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Then, she tapped her fingers on the table. If she tapped one more time, the dagger of the abyss would be drawn before her eyes.
“To that extent, he must be someone that the Lord cares about. But why does his expression look so bad?”
“Well… … . He’s a son of a bitch.”
Just thinking about it made his head throbbing, so he pressed his temples. Then he said.
“Did you by any chance take his money?”
“What did you say?”
“Or… … Did you hit me?”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“That’s fortunate. So, is it true that he followed the third princess?”
Sa Hae-ryeong’s eyebrows rose slightly and then fell. Could it be that he didn’t know anything? He withdrew his raised finger and instead grabbed the water on the table.
“I’m looking into it.”
“this…….”
“Are you worried about your luggage?”
“Both.”
“What does that mean?”
“Do you know what his nickname is among the counterintelligence units?”
“Should I know?”
“Mad dog.”
I don’t really want to know. Sa Hae-ryeong narrows his brows as if he is slightly annoyed. However, Gyeom Sa-ik continues talking without paying any attention.
“A dog is a dog, but it has an owner and an adult. If it gets upset, it’s a crazy dog that will bite unconditionally.”
He was once a great master who even brought down birds from the Demonic Cult. This is a great reputation for him. What on earth has he been doing?
I hate to admit it, but I’m intrigued.
“Please continue.”
“Third-class noble Biryongdang Budangju Hwanik. There was an incident where he was revealed to be a spy.”
Sa Hae-ryeong nodded with an expression that said, “What does that have to do with anything?” It was such a big issue at the time, so of course he knew about it.
“It wasn’t Hwan-ik who originally spied, but his nephew. He was tricked by Sadoryeon at the Hanam gambling house and passed on the information, which was the cause of the trouble.”
“Was it so?”
This is something I didn’t know. If you’re in a position like the third princess, you often only hear the results. This was one of those times.
“Yes. And Hwan-ik visited the counterintelligence unit several times to try to cover things up and caused trouble. He beat them up, he broke things. And at that time, the one who dealt with him instead of me, who was on an outside business trip, was… … .”
“Jang-seo. That must be it.”
“That’s right. Huan Yi’s biggest mistake was messing with that guy. Jang made a deal with his nephew. He’ll let him go, but if he gives up everything about Huan Yi.”
Are you crazy? Sa Hae-ryung didn’t understand at first. What would a mere 7th-grade demon leader do without information on 3rd-grade demons? Aren’t they on different levels?
“So?”
“During the investigation, we learned that Hwan-ik was involved with the gambling den that his nephew frequented.”
“That means… … .”
“The real spy is Hwan-ik. He used my nephew as a tail. He can cut him off at any time.”
Was that so? Both Sahae-ryeong and Narak were secretly surprised. One.
“It must have been a coincidence.”
“That coincidence doesn’t happen every time you get involved with that guy. The starting point isn’t important. Whether Jang-seo will bite or not. That’s what matters. If it were me… … I don’t really want to get bitten.”
Gyeomsaik smirked and took a sip of water. Sahae-ryeong felt a little offended inside. Does that mean he doesn’t want me to get bitten?
To a 7th-grade captain who would fall like a leaf at the wave of his hand? Even my own child would look like a loser if I praise him too much.
“I guess Your Majesty has been in the outskirts for too long.”
The disappointment was great.
He was once a successful man, but he has been demoted to a major position for too long. So now his judgment has become clouded. Yes, that is the conclusion I have reached.
“No matter what, if possible, avoid getting involved with him. This is advice I give to my disciple whom I once taught.”
Sa Hae-ryeong stood up from his seat proudly as if he had nothing more to say.
“I will catch Jang-seo soon and personally hold him accountable. If he is innocent, he will live, but if not… … forget it.”
Because I will never see him again.
As Sahae-ryeong winks at Narak, he slowly brings his hands together in front of him. His work is done. Now, all he has to do is catch him and ask him.
Why did they investigate Mao? Who instigated it?
But at that time.
“Daeju-! I’m here!”
A loud voice flowed in from the hallway outside the door. Gyeomsaik muttered, his face hardening in an instant.
“Jang Il-seo… …?”
Shudder. Sahae-ryeong stopped walking. Who is it?
“Why is the guy who is on vacation until today… … .”
They say even a tiger will come if you call it. I have no luck. Sa Hae-ryeong laughed and shook his head. That’s good. I’ll just catch him.
But. Ah! Suddenly, a rough hand pushed my back.
“First, let’s get out. If he finds out we’re together right now, it’ll be a real pain. He might even go straight to the Grand Duke. Anyway, let’s get out… … .”
“What are you doing now?”
Sahae-ryeong fought back his steps, then turned around and shouted sharply.
Then, Gyeomsaik nodded to his assistant, Narak, and spoke urgently.
“Hell. You take him out quickly.”
He tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand the abyss. And the opportunity flew away in the meantime.
“Daeju, may I come in?”
Oh! Before I knew it, his notification rang right in front of me.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. You keep disappointing me. I’ll be going now.”
“Where! For now, hide!”
“Hiding? I told you to get out.”
“Over there. Behind that screen! You too, Narak, hurry up!”
Even though Sahae-ryeong and Narak looked at him with bewildered faces, he didn’t care. Gyeomsa-ik pushed the two people’s backs and sent them behind the folding screen. Then, he unfolded the folding screen all the way and sat down with a cough.
