Chapter 267: Jaehwang at Martial Arts Nursery – 4

#1

“Where are they?!” One of the volunteers ran to inform the director who was guiding the other congressmen.

If the volunteer had been a little more careful, he would have told the director only, but he ran breathlessly and said to the director, “Mr. Cho… and… the guards of the Rep.Hong!’

Surprised, the director came running, forgetting that he was around people, and the other congressmen who were with him came to see the scene. Upon arriving at the scene, they judged Jaehwang as an enemy without question because what they saw was a young man with their colleague, Rep. Hong, who was intimidated with his bodyguards and secretary on the ground.

“What the hell is going on!”

“This is a villain! Bodyguard! Get him!”

“Yes, Sir!”

The number of bodyguards who answered in unison and took out their weapons was as high as 40. They were the ones who escort the congressmen, so they were professionals. And the team leaders were five-stars, so they had limited immunity and they didn’t hesitate to overwork.

But there were people who bravely came to the front.

“Come on, wait a minute!” It was the director of the Nursery and the teachers who blocked them. Even though his legs were shaking, he didn’t back down.

“Director, are you with that villain?” One of the congressmen shouted.

“Mr. Cho is not a Villain!” The director tried to explain and instead, it added to the anger of the congressmen.

“Look at what is going on! And you, Director! You won’t be safe, either!”

“What do you mean by that!?”

“A Billon is hiding in a nursery that should be the safest place in the Republic of Korea! Do you think that makes sense?!

“That can’t be true. This area was under Master Archer’s control! Please calm down a little. Soon you’ll get to find out the truth…”

The Director was trying to stop the congressmen in any way or another. “Even if Mr. Cho was a real Villain, this can’t be true.”

“Huh! How can we trust you! Maybe the Master Archer is involved in this.” As one of them shouted triumphantly, the others nodded in sympathy. Luckily they got one. They became a party to the incident that could be a fatal flaw in the Master Archer’s name. It’s their area to take advantage of such weaknesses of their opponents and make political negotiations.

In short, they could use public opinion to attack the Master Archer.

The director’s face became anxious. The two teachers who followed the director also had a look of confusion.

“Get out of the way!”

“No!” Director insisted stubbornly on his place.

“Mr. Director!” The teachers tried to stop the Director. These threats were too overwhelming to ordinary people.

“Uh! Director!”

Tension filled the hall.

Jaehwang’s expression as he looked at the scene was strangely twisted. Undoubtedly, he took his phone out of his pocket and sent a text message.

Then, he strode forward. It’s for those congressmen.

“Stop!”

The guards stood in his way.

Hong’s bodyguards were down to the ground. The opponent showed no sign of combat. It meant that he’s at least a six-star villain or had weapons equivalent to that class, but there was no weapon in sight. That was why they should not be careless. They won’t kill, but those bodyguards were preparing to launch a corresponding attack on Jaehwang.

Of course, that was the end of their plans.

“Huh…”

“Ugh…”

THUD…

Forty people fell down to the ground like broken dolls, only the congressmen, the director, and the teachers remained standing.

“What is this?”

Everyone in the hall fell silent.

Those people were hunters and others were considerably strong in their own rights, but these men simply groaned and fell down.

“I didn’t kill them.” Jaehwang grabbed the director’s shoulder slightly.

“You, what are you? The director asked with a trembling voice, but Jaehwang did not answer his question. It’s just an empty question anyway. He led the director close to two teachers who followed him.

The director collapsed first. The two teachers who took the fallen director suddenly also soon lost their minds too, and they lay on the floor as Jaehwang took them lightly.

‘Please manipulate their memory a little bit.’

‘Why don’t you just do it?’

‘I’m still clumsy. I don’t want to leave any aftereffects on their bodies.’

‘Hmm, I got it. But what about them?’

We all know who Goongi was referring to. Six members of the National Assembly were standing. If usual, they would have escaped somehow, but Jaehwang’s will was forcing their spirits to stay.

“They could have some after-effects.” Jaehwang calmed down his simmering anger. It was hard to control at first because it was the kind of anger he felt for the first time. It was often described as cultivating oneself morally religiously. Jaehwang was realizing that this statement was very accurate.

To cultivate meant to clean the mirror inside oneself and the first thing that one needs to do was to greet themselves in that mirror. When stained by the worldly dirt, the mirror becomes blurred and if that’s the case, then one won’t be able to see themselves clearly.

That’s why the apostles seep into places where there was no human presence.

This was to slow down the stain on the mirror but that’s not the answer either. They were just afraid of the dirt of the world. It’s just a temporary getaway.

And more importantly, it’s not just wiping it off. Each time one wipes them off, the mirror finally finds its true color.

One had to go through all the disgraceful things that exist in the world and wipe them all out. Wipe and wipe, and finally get it all together so that one could look at himself or herself in their original color.

Jaehwang overcame a small test that had new meaning a little while ago. Whether it was anger, love or agony… There were many kinds of it. Just as not all anger was the same, one must awaken and overcome each and every kind of them.

Jaehwang experienced a new look of love in this Nursery.

It’s a kind of paternal love. It could be love from compassion. It might be a hormone-induced love caused by instinct based on the need to protect a child or there’s a little bit of guilt left over.

And now wiping them away had given Jaehwang an opportunity to take a step further on the path of becoming a god. He now had a more complete inner person.

He was going to check out the results now.

“I’d like to bury you all alive here, but thank the kids that I don’t want them to play around a piece of land that has rotting bodies under it.”

The moment they met Jaehwang’s eyes, they stiffened as if they had been struck by lightning.

The treatment preparation was complete. What Jaehwang was about to do now was an extension of controlling the energy around him. So far, with the children, Jaehwang pumped up the energy around him so that their minds could be stabilized. It was done by mere will, but the reality was based on a fairly complex mechanism.

The true nature of the energy that makes one’s mind calm was a reminder of the memories and feelings of when one was stable. If the method of mental manipulating hunters was simply to force the brain waves to go into “chaos” in their opponent’s head, what Jaehwang did was to awaken the memories of his opponent and heal them in their respective forms.

And…

Just as a doctor knows best how to save a person, it is a doctor who knows best how to kill.

With a better understanding of the human spirit, Jaehwang had also become proficient in how to kill the other’s mind.

“Ugh…!!”

Bubbles began to flow from the mouths of congressmen along with their groans.

Jaehwang was now looking for the traces of their most painful times and applying that into their minds. Of course, this was not the only punishment for them. God’s will could unfold it with more colorful options.

“How about ten times the amount?”

“Ugh..!!!!” Their bodies began to tremble.

“Twenty times.”

“Awk!!!!!!!!”

Jaehwang gradually increased the intensity of their pain.

He didn’t bother to proceed with it quickly. That was the punishment Jaehwang inflicted on them.

Jaehwang was also experiencing it in a small way. To determine the level of punishment to inflict on them, he was looking at the traces of sin buried in their memories. The difference between them, of course, was that Jaehwang’s strong mentality was not affected by such suffering.

And as a result of watching it all…

“A hundred times…”

Cough…

Blood slowly began to ooze from their nose and ears.

His respect for them as human beings had disappeared too. 100 times was lethal to them. If he continued any longer, their brains won’t last.

“Stop…”

“Huh…”

When Jaehwang stopped injecting his energy, their heads dropped with a light moan. This was a natural phenomenon that occurs when humans get out of pain, but Jaehwang didn’t want to know how painful they were.

They also lived without caring about other people’s pain. They make it a virtue to trample on others. At school, one learned that being a congressman was a job that empowers someone to save the people, however, there was no service recorded in their memory.

All they remembered was that they won only greater power by bringing down others and winning them over. The term “sociopath addicted to power” would be the most appropriate for them.

“Be human first.” Jaehwang’s eyes glowed brutally. Now that their brain had been formatted, it’s time to fill it in with new ones.

“I’m a little clumsy, but I hope you’ll understand.”

“Ahhhhh!”

#2

“Mr. Cho!!”

“Mr. Cho!!”

“Ahhhh!”

As soon as he arrived at the animal farm, the children crouched in one corner while clinging to each other began to cling on him as if they had seen their mother duck. There was no need to deliberately spray the energy of stability and peace anymore.

“Ah…”

“Mr. Nim…”

He didn’t have to stop them from crying. Crying was like a natural release of stress. When he rubbed their heads and patted their backs, they rubbed their eyes and smiled.

‘Ah.’ Jaehwang felt a small ripple in his heart with the affectionate consideration of these little children.

The children were smiling like this on purpose because they knew that it’s hard for the teacher when they were nervous or crying. Even such a small child tries to be considerate of his loved one.

“Mr. Cho, are you all right?” A worried-looking volunteer approached Jaehwang and said that to him.

He was standing on one side to take care of the children because the children were alerted.

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Oh, thank God. But they’re that bad…” The eyes of the volunteer who was speaking waves for a moment. It’s only for a moment but after that moment, the volunteer’s voice changed completely.

“Huh? Why are you here?” He looked around as if he had caused confusion in his memory for a while but soon, the warmth permeated his eyes as he looked at the children.

‘How’s my skill?’

“t’s the best,” Goongi said conceitedly, but she deserves a compliment. If Jaehwang’s skill was at a primitive level, Goongi’s memory manipulation was just microscopic. Moreover, her memory manipulation wasn’t just for those at the scene. Jaehwang knew that he manipulated the memory of everyone in this nursery school.

There was no need to worry now as he had written some instructions to Irumi regarding the external details of the aftercare. If it bothers him any more, he was really going to upset this Republic of Korea.

“Come on, shall we go to see the rabbit now?”

“Yes, teacher!”
