Chapter 87 (2/2)
I laid on her lap looking at the moon.
In the moon I saw Song Hwa Rin's smiling face.
Then the girl asked me, ”Is the girl you are thinking right now the one you love?”
”I am thinking about you.”
She laughed and looked at the moon.
”The moon is very beautiful today.”

”What are you thinking about Miss?” Soo Ran asked.
”Just about him.”
”What?” Soo Ran was surprised, ”Could you be thinking about Master Byuk?”
”What? I can't think about him?”
”No. But you have never thought about h…”
”Yes, I have never thought about him before.”
”Yes, but do you have something in your mind miss?”
”No. I just answered your question about him.”
Soo Ran could tell that her feelings for Byuk Lee Dan was getting stronger by the day.
”But aren't you getting closer to him?” She said this to comfort her but it was the opposite effect.
”No, he is getting further and further away from me.”
Soo Ran looked at her with a confused look.
”It feels like when I take a single step, he takes three.” The feeling that Song Hwa Rin was feeling was regret.
”To me, you are the best Miss.”
Song Hwa Rin gave a little smile then waved at Soo Ran to come to her side.
When she came to her side, Song Hwa Rin stared at the moon again.
And Soo Ran thought, 'She definitely changed.'

The next day a mission came down.
It was a kill mission. He wanted me to kill a man named Um Haeng Bool. He was a pretty famed rapist and killer who was wreaking havoc in Ha Nam.
To track down this man people lost their lives, and there were no further words about his location till now.
”Is he your enemy?”
”No.”
”Then?”
”He was someone who wasn't caught for his crimes all this time. Luckily this time we found his location.”
A trap?
This was what I believed at first.
Maybe he wanted to kill me in this mission and cover it up as an incident? But why? He could use many other methods to eliminate me.
”You must capture him so we can hand him over to the Alliance.”
”So he even has a price on his head?”
”Yes.”
”And the reward?”
”You can take it.”
Showing that I didn't understand I blinked my eyes two times. But it seems like he was already expecting my response.
”What are you scheming?”
”What do you mean what are we scheming? We are trying to catch someone evil.”
”Bulls.h.i.+t! Who are you trying to fool?”
”Watch your mouth.”
”Fine, why are you trying to kill him?”
”Didn't I tell you? Because he is someone evil.”
”And you aren't one?”
Chu Do Chi laughed and said, ”I don't understand why Lord Ma is treating you so well.”
So it seems like the one who ordered this was Ma Ryung In.
”Fine. I'll catch him. I guess I'll take out my rage on him.”
I did as I was told since I needed to find out more.

Two days later I entered one of the Alliance Office building in Jung Ju.
The person that I was dragging into the office was a man named Um Haeng Bool. I dragged him into the office as he was all b.l.o.o.d.y and half dead since half of his bones were broken.
”I have someone who has a price on his head.”
One of the officials asked with a surprise, ”Who is he?”
”His name is Um Haeng Bool.”
Everyone seemed surprised at what I said since he was a pretty famed killer in Ha Nam.
”He is still alive so you can verify that it is him easier.”
The whole office was in disarray.
The City Lord even came after receiving the report.
”What is your honorable name sir?”
”The people in Kang Ho call me the Nameless Warrior.”
”Oh! So it's you Lord Nameless Warrior!”
All the other officials rose from their chair and started clapping for me.
It seems that even amongst the people in the Alliance my reputation for killing Yeom Hwa and denouncing the Heavenly Dao Gate was pretty good.
Now that I even captured Um Haeng Bool they were really praising me.
By the time I got the reward money, people from the whole city were lining up to see my face.
Just a few days ago I was surrounded by enemies. Now I am surrounded by these people as a hero.
That day I became the hero of Jung Ju.
The reward for capturing Um Haeng Bool was seven thousand nyang. This showed how much evil he did.
Taking care of an evil person, getting rewarded, this mission wasn't a trap.
But the real question remained.
Why was Ma Ryung In treating me like this?
[a]why does this say ”the Ha Nam” is Ha Nam a group of people or is it a city/location?
[b]Hey kidyeon, can you check over this whole conversation for me? It keeps sort of jumping around and I'm having a bit of a hard time following it, especially at the end.
