Chapter 84 (1/2)
Even though there was a loud noise coming from behind, Byeoktaesan continued to climb the stairs.
Halfway up, Hwa-ok and Yoo Seo-yeon followed.
Machungsam, who leads the way in guiding Byeoktaesan, took such attitude of Byeoktaesan for granted.
As They climbed all the stairs, Hwa-ok suddenly stood close to Byeoktaesan.
She whispered quietly in the ears of Byeoktaesan.
“Sir, I think you should be careful.”
Byeoktaesan looked at Hwaok with eyes as if to what it meant.
Hwa-ok’s expression was not good.
Byeoktaesan stopped walking.
Then, she stopped taking the lead and turned around and looked at Byeoktaesan.
There was no question about his expression. She just seemed to wait until he moved back to her steps since Byeoktaesan stopped.
Byeoktaesan said without even looking at Machungsam.
“I have something to say to this child, so lead us to a quiet room.”
Machungsam bowed his head politely.
“That’s exactly the room I was going to take.”
Marchungsam turned around again and moved on.
And when They arrived at the room at the end of the hallway, he opened the door and stood next to it politely.
When Byeoktaesan entered the room, Hwaok followed in.
Yu Seo-yeon tried to follow, but Machungsam blocked it.
She looked at Byeoktaesan reflectively.
When Byeoktaesan shook his head, Yoo Seo-yeon stepped back.
After closing the door, Ma Chung-sam told Yoo Seo-yeon.
“Shouldn’t you step back more so you can’t hear his voice?”
“Oh…okay.”
Yu Seo-yeon saw Machungsam with fresh eyes and stepped down from there.

Entering the room, Byeoktaesan sat down in a seat that was originally prepared for himself.
It was a place where He could sit and look down at the room.
“Sir, I saw a sword standing in the black sky in that man.”
“A sword stands in the black sky?”
“Yes.”
Byeoktaesan asked with a curious look.
“So?”
Hwa-ok spoke in a serious tone.
“According to my experience… The scene is often seen in the warriors of Cheonmashingyo.”
“Cheonmashingyo?
“Yeah, not precise, but I guess it’s a low-level warrior.”
Byeoktaesan looked at Hwaok with interesting eyes.
“So you’re saying that the low-ranking warriors of Cheonmashingyo are carrying black skies and swords? Interesting.”
It was really fun. And He thought Hwa-ok’s ability was great again.
The black sky symbolizes Cheonmashingyo, and the sword standing there symbolizes the owner of the Hyeoncheon, Cheonma.
So, isn’t it a scene that expresses the true nature of Cheonmashingyo warriors?
“But low-ranking soldiers or what?”
The words bothered me a little. If so, isn’t it that he has a different mind when his position rises?
“In fact, I’ve rarely seen a high-ranking official from Cheonmashingyo…But everyone I saw was different.”
Byeoktaesan nodded.
There was no conviction in the tone of Hwa-ok.
I can fully understand. Perhaps it was not easy to see the lower level of Cheonmashingyo either.
Rather, it was even greater to see such a person often and gain related experience.
“Okay, go tell them to come in.”
Hwa-ok replied with a determined look.
“Yes, please… be careful.”
When she opened the door and went out, a waiting man named Ma Chung-sam and Yoo Seo-yeon approached.
When Machungsam went inside first, Yoo Seo-yeon tried to follow him, but this time Hwa-ok blocked it.
“I think we’d better wait outside.”
Yoo had no choice but to look at Byeoktaesan again this time.
A smile fell on the mouth of Byeoktaesan. And shook his head.
Yoo Seo-yeon had no choice but to take Hwa-ok to the waiting area.
‘I hope today’s schedule gets longer.’
* * *
When the door was closed, Machungsam fell flat in front of Byeoktaesan.
“Greetings again. Machungsam meets Byeoktaesan.”
Machungsam was a member of Cheonmashingyo’s Bicheondan.
Bicheondan was an organization of Cheonmashingyo that engaged in outside secret activities.
They were never allowed to reveal that they belonged to Bicheondan.
Machungsam kept his duty faithfully.
He never said that he was a member of Bicheondan.
“Yeah, why did you want to see me?”
“We’re ready.”
Byeoktaesan tilted his head slightly to the side.
“What do you mean?”
“We have organized all the forces around the Black Island around Dongho Pyo-guk. And we’ve absorbed all of the vastness of the Muhan Black Island forces.”
Byeoktaesan’s expression got cold.
It seemed that the Black Islanders on the first floor of the guest’s room absorbed it from Muhan.
“Why?”
“What?”
Machungsam was surprised and looked up at Byeoktaesan.
“Who did it and why.”
“Well, I… I just followed the Lord’s orders.”
The leader of Donghopyoguk was the leader of Bicheondan. Machungsam is a member of the team.
“You followed the orders? Are you going to follow my orders if your Lord orders you to hit the back of my head?”
A cold sweat flowed from the whole body of Machungsam.
“Oh, no.”
Byeoktaesan continued in a cold tone.
“Did you guys intend to go to Muhan?”
“Well, that’s… I honestly don’t know.”
Byeoktaesan smirked.
It would not be an ulterior motive for Machungsam to pass all his sins on Donghopyoguk leader. He was just saying what he knew.
In other words, this was done by Donghopyoguk leader.
“Who did I say I was?”
“I didn’t hear you.”
“Who do you think I am?”
Ma Chung-sam hesitated not knowing how to answer.
He thought he was the child of a very high man in Cheonmashingyo, but he couldn’t talk about it.
Because he was a member of Bicheondan.
“I thought you were very… precious.”
Byeoktaesan smirked.
“Did you decide to take on Muhan here?”
Machungsam crept up his head. For some reason, the atmosphere seemed much softer than before.
“Yes, I’ve decided to take over. But it’s only temporary. Things can change at any time.”
“Go and tell him to come in person. Tell him to keep track of what he’s done so far, what he’s doing, and what he’s going to do.”
Machungsam pounded his forehead on the floor.
