Chapter 263: Come on! – 4
The world was agitated again by the news that Jaehwang had destroyed the Kingdom.
The Master Archer, who people thought had returned to Korea modestly, flew to Elus unexpectedly and destroyed the Kingdom of the Three Sky religion. They were shocked to see that the largest villain group in the world was destroyed.
It hasn’t been too long since the last raid on the dragon threatened the U.S, but did they really immediately seek to destroy the Kingdom, the world’s largest villain organization?
On the scale alone, the Kingdom could even be considered a small county. However, Jaehwang went into their capital on his own and wiped out all of their leaders.
The dragon appeared out of nowhere to pressure the Kingdom and sided with Jaehwang; but shortly before the battle, the two became enemies. This led some to the conspiracy theory that the Master Archer was the owner of the dragon from the beginning and that the occupation of Las Vegas in the United States was originally part of his plan. However, in the end, the majority argued that if Jaehwang had that much power, he did not need such plans, so the conspiracy disappeared without a trace.
His identity was appalling. The raid took about three hours. The mercenary hunters hired by the Rothschild family quickly came in to settle the confusion, but the Kingdom’s damage was not even countable.
Regardless of how the Kingdom was registered as a first-class Villain organization and, in principle, that was a sufficient cause for their slaughter, Jaehwang honestly expected people to be quite opposed to this. Human beings instinctively reject things that were different from themselves. There was still a tense public opinion among people about hunters that they should be controlled through a law that was enforceable. It was clear that when people were wary of the Hunters who were around them every day, they would be alerted that one was dehumanized and massacred nearly a thousand people in El-Seoul.
But what’s interesting was that the world doesn’t just flow as one might think. Rather, the people around the world praised Jaehwang. Of course, he put down all his rights to the World Hunter Office and the Republic of Korea, and the Invincible Palace and the Martial Arts House intentionally paid attention to the image he was making; but more likely, his actions were presented as a lonely god, trying to carry all the sins of the world alone.
With just a flick of his hand, all the reputation and power in the world were his and the beauties would have lined up to see his face. But as if he was not interested in anything like that, he did the things in his way without hesitation and people even voted to turn him into the fifth saint following the four saints – Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, and Socrates.
For a long time already, the madness for him was going too far and it culminated in the collapse of the Kingdom.
A month had passed since Jaehwang returned to Korea.

“Now the Master Archer became a treasure of the world beyond Korea. In the future, he will lead the raid of humanity. However, we should not think that only a rosy future will unfold ahead of the Republic of Korea. We should not sit still simply because he’s a Korean. We must thoroughly manage him to be more patriotic in the Republic of Korea. In addition, he should make a family in this country as soon as possible. That’s the first step in protecting the Master Archer of the Republic of Korea from those who are seeking to become the powerhouse of the Raids.”
Quite a long story, but here’s the bottom line. They were saying that he should adapt to the social system of the Republic of Korea so he could not leave. When the lawmakers. who usually take a nap or sleep at the National Assembly attended this meeting, this was the thing that they realized.
“As far as I know, there’s a woman for him in the InvinciblePalace, and yet it’s not known who she is. Is that right?”
“Yes, I’m afraid so.”
The public does not yet know about Goongi.
“The priority is to get all the information about her as soon as possible.”
“It is not necessary. He’s an adult, too. I actually don’t understand why we have to hold these meetings.”
Yoo Jung-min of the current ruling party tapped the table with a pen with a disgruntled expression. Originally, the meeting now was held to discuss how to treat the refugees generated from the Kingdom of Three Sky religion. But what they said together was nonsense, and that’s why Yoo feels uncomfortable.
At his remarks, members of the current opposition party raised their voices with a frown.
“Don’t tell us you don’t know why we should do this? What would you do if she had an antisocial personality or asked him to emigrate to another country?”
“Well, so what do you want to do? You want to create a department investigating the deep personal life of the Master Archer?”
“It’s not that, but he’s still young. I mean, he’s very healthy. It’s a problem if his judgment can be clouded because of women. Let’s say, if a woman goes at him naked, Master Archer wouldn’t be any different from a man of his age.”
“That’s right. We’re the kind of people who have a complete personality and we should step up and coordinate. What if she’s a spy from another country?” Yoo Jung-min smiled despondently as he looked at the opposing lawmakers clamoring in all directions.
In particular, the congressman who had been clamoring for his completed personality was caught playing with female secretaries in a club and was now referred to the ethics committee.
“Anyways, it’s not going to work. Although we do not manage the Master Archer as a national asset, we should at least control him to move for the benefit of our Republic of Korea. So please, cooperate with the ruling party on this!”
“Oh, how nice it would have been if you were also this active in enacting a special law to shed light on the corruption of the former president in detention?” Yoo replied sarcastically.
“That’s absurd!”
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Please have a seat, Rep. Park.”
Watching lawmakers rushing like wild boars who were stabbed in their weak part, Rep. Yoo Jung-min shook his head. The leaders of this country were still illogical, even if the world was turned upside down.
“Let’s talk about something more constructive. I’m sure you know as much about the topic of today’s meeting. It’s about the acceptance of the refugees from the Kingdom of Three Sky religion. We need a supplementary budget and a special law on this matter. Also, although the exact number was not determined, there were opinions that the number of refugees would be at least 100,000. The place to accommodate them is also a problem.”
The Kingdom of the Three Sky religion had many races. However, since the religion originated from the Republic of Korea, the believer’s largest number was Koreans, and they too were from Korea.
In particular, as Master Archer had recently raised global awareness, many people wanted to move to South Korea, which was considered the safest place to be from monsters.
“Oh, we can just send them all to the north. We’ve got a lot of places to develop.”
“Are you saying you want to blindly drive the northward people who have been living in a cult for decades?”
“That doesn’t make them all citizens of South Korea. If we were to find a place to accommodate them, there would certainly be a lot of social backlashes.”
“Hey, is it not our job to solve it? This is about the Master Archer that you want to manage so much.” At Yoo’s words, the other lawmakers turned their heads with their mouths closed. He knew that they were anxious to find a shelter where their constituency was located.
Then, Hong Kye-won, the current leader of the opposition party, admonished Yoo Jeong-min. “Still, we shouldn’t rush to deal with this. And with an extra budget being poured into North Korea’s development right now, how can we afford that? And even if we are in the midst of a booming economy due to the Master Archer, the current ruling party will not be free at a time when the national budget is running short.”
Yoo almost lost his patience at the moment when the current leader of the opposition party said something nonchalant.
Whenever the ruling party tries to do something, the other party always tries to go against it, whatever the topic. The root cause of the tight budget in the current Republic of Korea was the responsibility of the former administrations that belonged to the current opposition parties. Although it was speculated that the national budget that President Lee Hyung-woo, who was now in detention, had appropriated through his coalition with all kinds of interest groups that was uncountable, it was only the tip of the iceberg. The sum of all the budgets used in vain by the wrong policy would easily exceed that.
When those who couldn’t escape the responsibilities of those regimes said things like that, his subordinates pushed him aside. Now, it was not right to just pass on to a year-old administration the 10-year-old wrongs of the former administration.
Yoo jumped up from his seat and began to collect his papers. The same ruling party members stopped him, but Yoo walked out of the meeting after collecting all the documents and said as if everyone was listening, “I apologize in advance. In fact, there was something that the current President asked me specifically about this matter.”
When congressmen, who had been smug about Yoo leaving the meeting, heard him mention the president, everyone took notice of him.
“The Martial Arts House asked the president for a special favor regarding the people of the Kingdom. And in this regard, the Master Archer promised to come forward if any help is needed. I think we need that help now.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“What? if there was such a fact, you should have told us...”
The congressmen’s outcry erupted, but Yoo left the meeting without even pretending to hear them. He felt ashamed, but he was convinced that he could no longer leave this matter up to them. It’s embarrassing to borrow the Master Archer’s help in what they should be supposed to do, but he doesn’t want to be in the same position as those congressmen who were willing to control the Master Archer in their own way.
#3
A few days later, many congressmen were involved in President Lee Hyung-woo’s corruption scandal and had to return the gold badge. Since most of the congressmen who resigned from the National Assembly were involved in the corruption involving President Lee Hyung-woo, a former opposition party member, they were the ones who were on their side in the early stages of a hunger strike or shaving their heads in front of the National Assembly. Only a handful of Koreans stood by them.
The biggest reason for this was that they defamed the Master Archer, Korea’s current pride, in the media, conversing about things they should not talk about as the representatives of the country.
Of course, this was only a fragmentary reason that was revealed to the public, and each media, sensitive to the current news, was influenced by the Martial Arts House behind the massive corruption scandal. In a way, this was a very improper problem-solving technique — a private group with hegemony initiated in secret to shake the national discipline.
In the distant future, however, the respondents said that they could not ignore the unexpectedly positive aspects of the incident. In any case, the incident prompted the collection of high fines from President Lee Hyung-woo and his former administration to make up for the lost national budget due to their wrong policies, and the enactment of a special law that would make high-ranking government officials pay more thoroughly for their crimes.
