Chapter 119 - Chun Ma (10)

Baek Jinchang became intrigued. As far as he knew, the president of Yongchun Group was an unregistered Yulinian, but was at a certain stage in martial arts. Baek Jinchang also witnessed the president’s martial art prowess a few times while at the fight to protect the wall.

“Anyway, I heard that you requested to investigate our estate on the issue of the unidentified flying object?”

“Hmph. Yes, sir. We detected an unidentified flying object on our infrared radar, and it was lost on the Yongchun Group Estate.”

Baek Jinchang spoke apologetically. This meant that he was implying that he would have to investigate no matter what.

“Oh, I see. Of course you should. But you know…”

Chun Yujang then glanced at Director Huan Myungoh. Huan Myungoh then brought up a tablet pc and opened up an email to show it to Baek Jinchang.

“And this is?”

“We actually just got approved on our private investigation until tomorrow morning from the city Security Department Head just now.”

Baek Jinchang frowned. On the email, there was an electronically signed name of Jenam City’s Security Department Head’s name.

“Hmm.”

Even if it wasn’t for this, Baek Jinchang did not want to offend Yongchun Group so he was only going to do a light search and leave, but learning that the city hall was contacted prior to this made him feel uncomfortable.

“Lieutenant Major. Can’t the Defense Department still move on with the investigation no matter what city hall says for a matter like this?”

That’s when the Gatekeeper Captain Ha Hyunkang intervened. Chun Yujang narrowed his eyes at Ha Hyunkang.

“Isn’t the City Security Department higher in hierarchy than the Defense Department? Captain Ha?”

“That’s only when the matter is not about the Gate, President Yong.”

Ha Hyunkang took a step forward, and twelve men and women with Gatekeeper vests also took a step forward. It was apparent that they were going to move on with the investigation no matter what.

‘This fool.’

With the Yulin Organization, the Yongchun Group also was not really friendly with the Gatekeepers. Chun Yujang in particular was in not good mood because of what just happened with Chun Yeowun, so he was not ready to take this offense lightly. Chun Yujang raised his right hand up. All security agents of the Yongchun Group then reached down at their weapons by the waist.

“Huh? What is the meaning of this? Lieutenant Major, it seems like the Yongchun Group is trying to fight us. Are you really going to let them get all over us like this?”

Ha Hyunkang spoke aggressively, to which Baek Jinchang frowned at the frustration.

‘Goddammit!’

He was given no better alternative in this case. He had to give up the investigation if he wanted to keep up the good relationship with the Yongchun Group, and also to not offend the Security Department head. But if he were to do that, then he was not following the protocol of the situation where the Gate was involved, just as Ha Hyunkang had said.

‘I should have not brought the Gatekeepers here.’

They were only brought here because of possible danger, but he did not imagine it would cause more problems this way. It seemed the Gatekeepers too were ready to fight at a moment’s notice. It was when the crisis was just growing.

Someone got out of the Gatekeeper vehicle and walked up to them. It was a woman in her late twenties, with long brown hair in tight white shirts and skinny pants that showed her curves. Ha Hyunkang and other the Gatekeepers became weird at the appearance of the woman who had a cold look on her face. It was as if the Gatekeepers were afraid of her.

‘What is it?’

Chun Yujang looked at the woman. He had stayed in Jenam City for quite a long time now, but he had never seen the woman before. That’s when she spoke to Captain Ha Hyunkang.

“How long are you going to waste our time? Quit messing around and start the investigation.”

Ha Hyunkang replied hesitantly.

“Uh… Yongchun Group is claiming that they have talked with the Security Department at the city to proceed with their own investigation…”

“Since when did a mere private company have the power to stop the Defense Department and the Gatekeepers from investigating? Investigate the area, right now.”

“Yes, ma’am. Men! Move out!”

“Yes, sir!”

The Gatekeepers began to take steps to move into the estate at the woman’s firm order. The Yongchun Group security agents then pulled out their weapons to defend them. They were here as security agents to the company, but they were actually cultists of the Great Demonic Cult and first-class warriors. Chun Yujang then shouted to the Gatekeepers trying to bust into their estate.

“We have clearly stated that we are authorized by the Security Department. If you come in without our consent, we have no way but to exercise our right to defend!”

“Right to defend?”

That’s when the brown-haired woman walked forward and reached out toward the security agents. At once, all security agents blocking the entrance were thrown to the ground. Some fell on their knees while some just dropped entirely to the ground.

“Ugh!”

“M-my body!”

“I can’t… it’s too heavy!”
