Chapter 485
Chapter 485 Trouble (2)
It was an embarrassing answer.
To be precise, it was something that Incheon should not have said.
Taejun Moon said coldly.
“I will give you just one chance to repeat what you just said. After that, there is no turning back.”
It was a warning.
Roman Dmitri is a foreigner, so he may not know the situation in Korea, but Kim Jun-hyeok, the mayor of Incheon, is different.
If you show an effort to pick up spilled water even now. Thinking of the value of Roman Dmitri, he had the mercy of giving him a chance just once.
however.
Kim Jun-hyeok kept silent.
Moon Tae-joon laughed as if he was absurd in a situation where he silently supported Roman Dmitri’s will.
“This is a very interesting situation. Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok seems to have forgotten the tragedy of six years ago.”
“… I just made a decision because I didn’t forget.”
“Do you really think that a cataclysm can be prevented with just one person? Catastrophe (大災殃) refers to the time when monsters run rampant all over the world. Unbeknownst to us, the monsters that were crouching down like this anthill incident attack humans simultaneously. Six years ago, Incheon was destroyed like that. The walls collapsed and countless people died because they couldn’t stop the A-rank monsters from entering. Even if Roman Dmitri is a great master, it is impossible to block all the monster attacks with the support of Incheon. Of course, it will be different from the last catastrophe. Just like we subdued the ant nest, we will deal with the enemies that Incheon couldn’t handle, but that’s only about it.”
Fiercely shot.
Central government inspectors.
Locals called them demons.
With the central government on their backs, they wielded enormous power as they existed to monitor the provinces and extract parts that could benefit the central government somehow.
Moon Tae-joon worked as an investigator for a whopping ten years.
He knew all too well what his remarks would mean to his warnings.
“Face the reality. In Korea, there is only one white-clad wizard and less than 30 A-rank hunters. Why do most of them seem to be active in Seoul? This is because no matter how great a person is, they know that they cannot protect themselves when there is only one person. When monsters overflow, dozens of A-rank monsters attack at the same time, but no matter how great a person is, how can he stop it alone? Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok’s will is Roman Dmitri’s remarks. It means to get out of the fence to survive in this Republic of Korea.”
Taejun Moon saw Roman Dmitri.
squeezed reality
Roman Dmitri showed the reality of what kind of judgment he had to make in order to survive in this land.
said Roman Dmitry.
“If the price of safety is unreasonable control, the Incheon government does not need the help of the central government. Isn’t that rather a good thing? Set us as a precedent. Watch what the Incheon government will end up without the help of the central government, as they say so loudly.”
It was a provocation.
Moon Tae-joon’s eyes trembled at the openly heartbreaking remark.
Even though I clearly told the truth.
Roman Dmitry was arrogant.
“If you are confident about the future, it is enough to take the Incheon government as an example.”
pop.
It felt like reason was being cut off.
recent remark.
It’s beyond the realm of tolerance.
No matter how coveted he was, he could not allow himself to speak like Roman Dmitri.
Moon Tae-joon kicked off his seat and stood up.
“I understand the will of the Incheon government. remember this day When Incheon repeats that day six years ago, you will realize how wrong the choice to trust an individual was. It was already too late then.”
I turned my steps around.
Moon Tae-joon, who was escaping outside, couldn’t hide his anger until the moment he left.
* * *
Boom!
I shut the door hard.
As soon as I left the office, Taejun Moon called me.
Click.
[What happened?]
“The Incheon government has gone crazy. They have stated that they will follow Roman Dmitry and will go on a separate line from the central government in the future. Congressman. A hundred precepts are required. No matter how great a person is, if such an example is allowed, an independent force like the white-clad wizard might emerge.”
Like Moon Tae-joon said.
The white-clad wizard was a special being.
It is true that an S-class hunter is great, but even a white-clad wizard cannot survive a cataclysm alone.
So he entered into a symbiotic relationship with the central government.
However, because of the symbolism of being the first S-class hunter, they allowed a lot of freedom, so now the white-clad wizard has been evaluated as being outside the control of the central government.
thing at that time.
It was the central government’s shame.
Despite holding the Republic of Korea in their hands, some lawmakers were dissatisfied with the white-clad magician.
beyond the phone.
A person called the Senator said.
[okay. As you said, there is no reason to be swayed by an individual in a situation where having power is absolute. Take Roman Dmitry as a solid example. What kind of future the guys who think nonsense will face in order to prevent them from overstepping the authority of the central government again in this land of Korea.]
“I know.”
Moon Tae-joon’s eyes turned ferocious.
A picture of the future was already drawn in his mind.
“There is no need to wait for catastrophe to come. Please wait one month. I will stop Incheon’s breath in it.”
* * *
The place where Moon Tae-joon left.
Kim Jun-hyeok showed a complicated expression.
He gave strength to Roman Dmitri’s remarks, but there was no certainty that his choice was correct.
“Are you worried about the future?”
A calm voice.
Kim Jun-hyeok did not hide his true feelings.
“… yes. The central government is everything in Korea. Most of the powerful people in this small land belong to the central government, and I’m not sure if it’s right to side with them. If the reality that Incheon cannot handle is confronted. There may come a day when you will regret the current situation, which has been abandoned by multiple camps.”
It was an understandable statement.
but.
The first thing Roman Dmitry decided to do while learning about the world was to abandon the central government.
said Roman Dmitry.
“The South Korean system is truly deformed. The central government prioritizes the safety of Seoul, the capital city, and exerts great power in the rest of the land mass, which is dozens of times larger than Seoul, as a ‘part’ that is really nothing compared to what Seoul occupies. Incheon and the local government. Only by getting out of that part can you regain true peace. If you always hang on to the central government in a situation that is not the top priority, the system that is not independent is bound to be swayed by the choice of the third party every time.”
if.
If the central government can make rational choices or ensure people’s safety even if they are unreasonable.
Roman Dmitry might have thought of a different path.
But the reality was not like that.
Just looking at Moon Tae-joon’s remarks, it was like that.
In the process of persuading Kim Jun-hyeok, Moon Tae-joon said that he would not treat the Incheon government, but that he would exclude him from helping him after securing the safety of Seoul.
Even if it is the top priority, it means that it is different from Seoul.
There was no reason to follow them in an already ordered system.
Incheon.
I took this as a starting point.
In the process of creating a new Dmitri in the future, Roman Dmitri did not allow an unreasonable system.
“If you do not have the strength, it is right to endure even if it is unreasonable. However, since I exist, Incheon will not need the power of the central government in the future.”
Kim Jun-hyeok swallowed dry saliva.
I was arrogant.
Roman Dmitri spewed absurd remarks that made Moon Tae-jun angry, but I wanted to blindly believe in his words that he would put Incheon first.
It is clear that if it is possible, there will be no better future than that. Kim Jun-hyuk once again recalled his mindset to follow Roman Dmitri.
“… All right. We will do our best to serve you in the future.”
Kim Jun-hyeok lowered his head.
He was an unusual person.
Although he was just a normal person, he lived an unusual life.
In the process of creating a new Incheon in the future, Kim Jun-hyeok and his people were necessary.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Call your direct command. In order to have a minimum foundation, we will raise the level of the direct jurisdiction from now on.”
As always.
The beginning of a relationship was to build trust first.
* * *
Several days passed.
In the meantime, when people gathered in groups of three or five, they made a lot of noise about a rumor that originated in Seoul.
“Is that true?”
“Do I look like someone who would talk nonsense? Now the central government is in trouble because of it. The central government tried to legally punish Roman Dmitri for the destruction of the Red Moon, but the Incheon government drew a line with the central government and said it would not follow the control in the future.”
“The mayor of Incheon has gone mad. Not obeying the central government’s control means not getting help in an emergency. What kind of confidence do you have? Seeing portentous phenomena occurring around the world means that a cataclysm is imminent, but are they trying to deal with a catastrophe with only the troops in Incheon?”
“Incheon is also over. There was once a saying that Kim Jun-hyeok was the future of Incheon, but what can a mere ordinary person do? It’s clear that he’s too preoccupied with power games to face reality.”
Separation from central government.
No one took it as good news.
Knowing that the national power of the Republic of Korea was concentrated in Seoul, people grasped at once what the essence was.
Besides, it seems to live up to the rumors.
The central government sent an official letter to the guilds belonging to Incheon.
[…] … For this reason, the central government will not support Incheon in the future. The same goes for the guilds belonging to Incheon. In the case of guilds cooperating with the Incheon government, the central government will not put in a separate request from now on, and even if a catastrophe breaks out, they will not be able to receive help from the central government.]
Rumors became clear.
It was to prove that the central government had abandoned Incheon, so Incheon’s guilds had no choice but to fall on fire.
It is possible to lose money just because it is related to the Incheon government.
Some guilds recognized the relocation to other regions, and other regions also welcomed the guilds with open arms.
Liquidation of the mercenary guild.
Their situation was the same.
Gu Cheol-ho, a C-class mercenary who led the liquidation, spoke to the leaders with a very worried face.
“Why did Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok do that? He wouldn’t be that stupid.”
“Guild leader. Incheon is now a shipwreck. It is only a matter of seconds for Cheongsan, which deals with mercenaries, to perish to the end to protect the base in Incheon. Isn’t it already prevalent in the mercenary industry to not accept requests from Incheon guilds? There is no reason for us to get caught up in a single decision made by the mayor of Incheon.”
“Let’s move the guild right away. If it is the size of the settlement, it is certain that the provinces will welcome it with open arms.”
Goo Cheol-ho frowned.
He knew too.
The fact that I had to leave Incheon.
However, the hard-earned foundation was a waste, and above all, he trusted a person named Kim Jun-hyeok considerably.
Probably that’s what most of the people living in Incheon do.
Those who have lived here for one or two years will be blown away by outside influence, but those who experienced the tragedy six years ago knew the value of Kim Jun-hyeok.
he is.
a strong man
a wise man
He was by no means reckless enough to do something without thinking.
‘If you’ve only trusted one Roman Dmitri to work, the mayor chose the wrong one this time.’
at the end of trouble.
Koo Cheol-ho came to a conclusion.
Like the other guilds that were already packing, it seemed that he would have to move to an area that would accept liquidation on good terms.
Even though it’s a job to make money using chaos. Still, they are people who want to survive in this chaotic world. If there
was even a possibility, he would have tried to remain in Incheon, but he thought that the central government’s choice meant a hopeless future for Incheon.
It was then.
As he was about to announce his decision, Park Ki-tae, who had been standing in the corner of the conference room with a serious face, opened his mouth.
“Can we not stay in Incheon?”
“What are you talking about?”
Park Ki-tae does not belong to Cheongsan.
However, I decided to follow Cheol-ho Koo and was able to be here with him thanks to him.
People’s suspicious gaze.
Park Ki-tae met that gaze and said.
“It’s kind of heartbreaking. Why would a smart person like Mayor Kim Jun-hyeok make such a choice? Roman Dmitry. There is only one reason for that. And as the only person among them who has personally experienced Roman Dmitri, I feel that I should not leave Incheon.”
It’s not a thoughtless spit.
last few days.
Park Ki-tae had a reason for coming to such an absurd conclusion.
