EP.96 Watching Sex Across the River
The church was in an uproar.
The events of last night still hadn't been resolved.
Moreover, quite a few followers were caught up in this incident.
It was such a widespread bombing.
Or should we call it a suicide bombing?
Because of that, several followers were sitting in front of Jeonjanggyon, pleading.
"Aigo, my father died in the explosion yesterday!"
"My daughter became paralyzed! She's my everything."
"Please, please give our family a miracle! We'll pray, please!"
Even other followers who came to pray normally had confused faces.
There was wailing everywhere.
Jeonjanggyon went to the lounge prepared in the back and sighed deeply.
At least Jung-hyuk, who had gone on an expedition for external area sales issues, was back.
Choi Jung-hyuk clicked his tongue.
"Are we just going to stay like this? Your Holiness, I'll go to the Association!"
"Haa, it's not such a simple matter. Calm down a bit."
"What do I need to calm down about?! Didn't you hear! Those followers, and even my mother were attacked!"
"That was beyond my calculations too..."
"Does this make any sense? Didn't you say the Lord is watching over us? If we're not going to move now, we should at least find the enemy within!"
"Haah, I'm sorry about your mother but we did treat her anyway, didn't we? And what enemy within?"
Choi Jung-hyuk glared at Jeonjanggyon for a moment.
His one and only mother was raped and nearly died.
But Jeonjanggyon was indifferent, like a politician receiving some annoying report.
The anger inside Jung-hyuk grew.
"So you're saying we should just stay like this! Is that God's will?!"
"Calm down for now. Someone might have played tricks in between. For example, that child of Satan!"
"No, that person doesn't do things like this."
"...Huh?"
He mentioned Sung Ikhyun to at least divert attention.
But Choi Jung-hyuk's reaction was unexpected. He shook his head.
"He purely displays his own skills, he's not the type to scheme something in between."
Jeonjanggyon, who had been pondering for a while, clicked his tongue. It sounded right when he heard it.
"Well I guess that's why he's famous. He wouldn't be famous for no reason with only good stories."
But this left no good options. Jeonjanggyon rubbed his face.
"Let's proceed carefully with this one."
"Your Holiness, I'll take the entire Youth Department and judge the Association!"
Jeonjanggyon immediately shook his head.
"That's not possible."
"Why not again?!"
"Half the Youth Department members can't move properly right now, maybe food poisoning."
"Then a miracle..."
"Didn't you hear? That miracle can't be used often! I'm telling you I'm exhausted from treating your mother? And other healing doesn't work at all!"
The situation was chaotic.
Why did this happen all at once? Choi Jung-hyuk hung his head.
'Am I being punished? At first I just joined the religion my mother believed in. But it's turned out like this, it's the wrong path, am I being punished?'
It felt like his will would break.
In vulgar terms, it felt like he would fall into post-nut clarity.
Jeonjanggyon cleared his throat looking at Choi Jung-hyuk, then stood up.
"Let's go out for now. We need to calm the people."
So he stood before the people. But nothing changed.
People were even more frantic than before. They clung to Jeonjanggyon and wailed.
"Lord, Lord! Are you abandoning us?"
"We came to worship without missing a single time!"
"I always prayed. When will you answer?"
"Your Holiness, you won't just let this incident pass, will you? I hear the Players Association did it!"
People clamored even more.
It seemed uncontrollable.
Jeonjanggyon let out a hollow laugh as he tried to calm the people.
'They've really fallen for it perfectly. This is checkmate!'
Where did it go wrong?
It seemed too late to think about it now.
He tried to pacify them with lies as always.
But now even that didn't work.
The name of a clearly hostile target came out.
The Players Association.
So all that was left was judgment.
Actually, physical confrontation was the worst when some issue arose.
But it looked like they would do that from the start.
And with the Players Association that was recently growing in size.
He had always done illogical things while pretending to be logical.
He had to do so now too.
Why?
Because that's how pseudo-religious groups are maintained.
"Don't worry, my little lambs! I will punish the Association in the name of the Lord! Holy war, it's a holy war!"
"Wooooah!"
"Amen!"
"Amen! Ilsim Peace Ameeeeen! Jeonjanggyon Amen!"
He didn't want to, but he had to do this.
Jeonjanggyon instructed Choi Jung-hyuk.
"Cardinal, take the Youth Department and deliver our message. To the Association!"
"Understood, Your Holiness."
As if he had been waiting, Choi Jung-hyuk went to the Youth Department.
He took only carefully selected elites.
He inquired about the Players Association scouts proselytizing nearby.
The orders had already been given.
Then what to do was clear.
All-out war, only all-out war.
He found visible scouts, ambushed and killed them.
One scout was flustered.
"Wait a moment, why are you doing this?"
"Shut up!"
Choi Jung-hyuk was not his usual cold self. He continued speaking with a face distorted like an evil spirit.
"You took everything from me! So I will judge in God's name. No, I will judge directly. Because I don't need God's name or anything!"
He crushed the scout's skull with just the grip strength of his hand.
"You need to die, you need to die! I don't care about anything else, but you shouldn't have touched my mom!"
After dealing with the area, Youth Department members gathered one by one.
One of them asked.
"Cardinal, are we going like this?"
"Yes. Keep the women alive as much as possible and send them to His Holiness!"
"Yes!"
It was truly like crawling into chaos.
***
Meanwhile, Jeon Yo-hwan, who was receiving real-time reports, frowned as much as he could.
Because there was no such situation in the picture he had drawn.
He was appalled.
Just as they were solidifying their foundation, Ilsim Peace drew their sword first.
The reason was obvious without even hearing it.
It must be a full-fledged territory dispute.
'The era of buying land with points or taking it by force has come. A pseudo-religious group that has properly grown in size wouldn't just sit still.'
The problem was that Ilsim Peace was moving faster than originally.
Jeon Yo-hwan pressed his temples.
'But why now? They're rushing more than expected. Jeonjanggyon, are you trying to catch us off guard? Are you sane? No, pseudo-religious groups wouldn't be sane.'
He thought they would at least implicitly keep what should be kept.
It was a miscalculation.
Beren asked as she finished her report.
"What should we do?"
"What else? We need to show our will even if all-out war is too much."
"Then it will really become a war?"
"Should we just keep getting attacked like this? Our scouts have already been hit dozens of times. Over 10 are missing!"
Beren scratched her cheek.
Jeon Yo-hwan tapped the table while calming his excitement.
"I'll send the Policy Committee Chairman and 10 council members soon."
"What?!"
It was practically no different from opening the curtains of war, just short of a full-scale war.
Beren swallowed dryly while erasing her flustered expression.
"Then I'll relay that."
After Beren left, Jeon Yo-hwan sighed as if the ground would cave in.
Actually, he didn't want to do this either. But he had to.
'It's really a shitty timing. Tsk, can't be helped.'
He got up from his seat with a bitter smile.
It's a moment when it would be troublesome not to act. Then he had to show.
How much potential the Players Association, which will become the head of government, has.
How much guts the man who will be called president has.
***
I continued explaining while pointing at the map attached to the wall.
The place I pointed to was the church, Ilsim Peace's base.
"From now on, we will bring divine punishment to the pseudo-religion that disturbs the surrounding situation and deceives people!"
"Wooo!"
The stage was all set.
The cast had almost all come up.
Now it was our turn.
"We'll be able to give them a proper lesson more easily than usual now. We'll crush the pseudo-religion and take over Junggye-dong."
"Are you going alone?"
Kenichi asked in a polite tone.
This guy, despite his delinquent visuals, is really polite.
They said he's mixed Korean and Japanese. I understood what they meant by Japanese identity.
However, unlike his speech, his eyes looked like he would bite someone at any moment.
"Of course not! This time I'm taking the two new employees. Jin Woo-chi, Kenichi! Oh, both names end with 'chi'?"
People who were smirking looked at the two new employees.
They were very expectant gazes.
Jin Woo-chi rubbed his hands together.
"Well, I'm confident."
Kenichi snorted. He fiddled with the scabbard attached to his belt.
"I'll show you that I'm the best new employee. One sword strike, that's enough."
I nodded with a smile.
It's good that the new employees have spirit. This is how rookies should be.
"Then I'll announce. The time is one hour from now! The members going are me the president, Ivy the executive director, Jun-sik the director, So-eun the head of security, and regular employees Jin Woo-chi and Kenichi!"
Everyone seemed to agree with the atmosphere.
Kenichi briefly complained.
"Why am I behind Jin Woo-chi?"
"Jin Woo-chi came first. He's older too."
"Keu..."
"If you're upset, show results and get promoted. You can do that, right?"
"Of course."
Seok-do, who was leaning against the wall, silently raised his hand.
"Seok-do, what is it?"
"Is it okay if I don't go?"
"Seok-do, you guard the area around Rose Park. I'm leaving Jong-mi behind too because it could be dangerous here."
Similarly, leaving Gyu-mi behind was to protect the nuclear hospital area.
Jong-mi just nodded silently.
Everyone seemed to agree.
It was unanimous.
"Then everyone take it out!"
"Yeah!"
At my words, everyone held out cans of beer they had just taken out of the refrigerator.
Cans of beer exuding cool air as if just taken out could be seen.
Then Jin Woo-chi looked at Kenichi.
"You're not a minor, are you? In our country, minors drinking alcohol is, ahem."
"It's the same in Japan? And I'm half Korean nationality so stop with the 'our country' crap?"
"Sigh, you're so prickly."
"Ah, should I bite you?"
Even the new employees are having a battle of nerves.
Well, they're in the same year and not much age difference, so maybe it's natural.
Then shall we do it.
I raised my beer high and shouted.
"Today we will make history. To everyone!"
"To everyone!"
As if uniting our hearts.
We made a toast as one.
As I said, we will make history today. A legendary achievement that people will praise for a lifetime and still not be enough!
