Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

71. Watcher

#71. The Watcher

Several months have passed since Yun Ga’s misdeeds became known through the media.

The situation in Ilwol-yun-ga was still not good.

How did they cover up the poison terrorism caused by planting Sejak, but there were many other problems as well.

The power structure of the noble families.

The family’s lifeline.

Assassins sent by Han Seong-jin.

The two most powerful of the Seven Great Families remained indifferent, while the other two sided with the Kwon Seong-shin family.

Han Sung-jin’s funds were drying up as he completely blocked overseas trading routes.

And because of the assassins he sent every day, the power within the family was weakening day by day.

‘…Why does Yoonga have to be pushed around like this because of one guy?’

Yoon Hyuk-kwon wanted to kill Han Seong-jin right away. He wanted to go into the shrine, drag him out, and tear him to pieces.

Because of that, the plan that had taken nearly ten years to build was distorted, and the family’s reputation was tarnished.

‘Even though Baekga joined… we are still being pushed back.’

After Shin Chang-baek joined, the assassin problem and financial situation improved little by little, but it was almost at the status quo.

The fundamental problem was not being resolved.

“Phew… This is annoying.”

Yun Hyuk-kwon wanted to lead his family’s power and invade Kwon Seong-shin’s house right away.

“In times like these, it would be nice to have a strong force… Is there no such place?”

Among the domestic powers, the only one that can compete with the Ming family is the Shin Gangwon family. However, they have been stockpiling their forces in preparation for becoming a Ming family. They have tried to negotiate several times, but they have threatened not to lend their strength.

‘These guys from Shingangwon-ga, how can they kick me out after all the help I’ve given them? After I finish cleaning up Shingga, I’ll have to deal with these guys too.’

I tried to get rid of the Kwon Seong-shin family and put the Shingangwon family in their place, but there were a few other families that could replace them. Let’s think about that later for now…

‘The only guys who can cooperate… are those guys.’

Yoon Hyuk-kwon stared blankly at his smartphone before quickly making a decision.

Things were not going well. He had to choose the lesser of two evils to avoid the worst. He dialed a number and called somewhere.

-Yoon. You’re finally calling now.

“David. Is that offer from earlier still valid?”

-Of course. We welcome Yun Ga at any time. Isn’t the enemy of my enemy my friend?

The target of the call is David, the deputy director of the ‘Watcher’, a huge American force.

It was one of the forces that had previously fought greatly with Yun Ga over interests.

“Is Han Seong-jin your enemy?”

– Of course, the power of the ‘watcher’ alone is not enough. But wouldn’t it be different if the watcher and Yoonga joined forces? Even though Yoonga’s power is weaker than ours… In a country like Korea, Yoonga’s influence is much greater on your side than on ours.

Although Yoon Hyuk-kwon did not like David’s attitude, he endured it and continued to listen to the story.

“What’s the plan?”

-Of course I’m ready. If Yoon Ga gets involved… I can hit Han Sung Jin right away.

“What benefit does it give to the viewer to hit Han Seong-jin?”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon pointed out the most important part.

The purpose of the observer.

What advantage will they gain by attacking Han Seong-jin? Avoiding the worst is not the end. If they do not prepare for the lesser evil, the family will just stay in place.

-Let’s say it’s to completely eliminate his influence. Even though he left for Korea…he’s a guy who’s been a nuisance to our long-cherished desires in many ways.

“A long-cherished wish… I’ve heard that phrase often before. You don’t plan on telling me what it is, do you?”

-Haha! If Yun Ga wants to join our forces, then there’s nothing I can’t say.

“Then I guess I can’t hear it.”

-By the way, I’d like to talk to just the two of us now. How about sending that person next to you somewhere else?

David told the butler next to Yun Hyuk-kwon to get out. He recognized the faint trembling of air coming from the other end of the phone and recognized the presence of a person.

“Your ears still sound good.”

-Haha. Thanks for the compliment. So what’s your answer?

“I will decline. Butler Yu has sworn loyalty to his family for generations. I don’t mind hearing it with you.”

-Well, if that’s the case… .

David told Yoon Hyuk-kwon about his plan to hit Han Seong-jin. The old butler next to him was blankly staring at Yoon Hyuk-kwon with empty eyes.

***

Cynthia, who had just returned from the academy, was shocked to hear that Shin Dong-baek had been hospitalized.

He said he was rushed to the hospital just now.

‘Did Grandpa get attacked by Yun Ga…!’

Her thought processes were working hard.

The Shinga and Yunga families were currently at war, so it wasn’t a strange story at all. It wasn’t an impossible story, considering they were cowardly men who tried to cause a poison terror attack within the family.

‘How dare you touch grandpa!’

Cynthia was furious, but first she had to get a clear understanding of the circumstances.

She calmed down and asked the people around her how Shin Dong-baek got hurt and who did it.

Maybe it’s because it wasn’t long after the incident happened

‘You were rushed to the hospital after talking to someone? Are you perhaps a spy from the Ilwol Yoon family that we couldn’t find before?’

Cynthia wondered if the spy had ambushed her grandfather. If her grandfather was hit, he must have been incredibly powerful… Could he get revenge?

While she was contemplating revenge, someone came to see Cynthia.

“Huh? You were suddenly taken away after talking to your brother?”

“Yes.”

The old butler who had spent many years by Shin Dong-baek’s side answered Cynthia calmly.

“… My brother is a spy of the Ilwol Yoon family?”

For a moment, a ridiculous idea flashed through Cynthia’s mind.

It was an imagination that Han Seong-jin sold Kwon Seong-shin’s family to Ilwol Yoon’s family.

“…….”

The butler looked at Cynthia, speechless, after hearing her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Cynthia was thinking seriously.

‘What if my brother is attached to the Ilwol Yoonga?’

Should I pass on my family line?

It was Cynthia who was thinking seriously.

***

A few days passed after Shin Dong-baek was hospitalized again.

-The watcher and Yun Ga form an alliance.

-Plan to deal with Han Seong-jin (txt)

I smiled as I looked at the message sent by one of the three sculptors I had planted in Ilwolyun-ga.

‘It was a good decision to buy it with money.’

Yun Ga’s vassals were loyal.

Although their history only spans a few decades, they have been loyal and truly follow the Yun family, which has risen to a prestigious position during that time.

Loyalty with conviction.

A heart that never breaks.

I bought it with money.

From noble mtl dot com

For example, in the case of the old man who just sent the message, he was given a lump sum of money that he would not have earned even if he worked for hundreds of years.

And every time he brought me good information, he would give me money, all kinds of elixirs, and rare artifacts.

Loyalty passed down through generations has been replaced by money.

If there is something that cannot be solved with money, you should think about whether you are lacking money. The old butler also stubbornly refused at first and tried to go straight to the head of the household, but when he was offered 50 times the initial amount, he reluctantly accepted the offer.

‘By the way, Yoonga and these guys are forming an alliance with Jusijara? Oh, really.’

When I opened the text files, they contained very specific stories. I looked through them and smiled.

“If we see this and prepare for it right away… we will be immediately caught planting a plot in Yun Ga.”

It wasn’t that the person I planted was a double spy or anything. Rather, he was being used.

By the observers.

“Are you going to tell me your crazy plan and see if it gets out?”

It was certainly a clever tactic.

If you prepare like this, you will be letting the enemy know that there is a plan, and if you don’t prepare, you will suffer a lot of damage. It won’t lead to death, though.

No matter what choice I made, it was not bad for the viewers.

“Hey, let’s just say these guys have been using shitty methods since the beginning. It’s shit whether you prepare for it or not, and it’s shit whether you don’t prepare for it.”

They and I have had a long history of bad blood.

Not only that, I knew them well.

Why?

They are a very famous group of troublemakers in the original work. They can’t be considered villains, but they are just as crazy as the main characters. They are also the crazy guys who interfere with the main character until the final chapter.

From the beginning, these guys’ long-held desire was related to the destruction of the world, so we can’t just leave them alone. If we just list them like this, they’re no different from villains, but on the outside, they’re a good force that makes a lot of donations and volunteer work, and they contribute to society very faithfully.

“Of course… that’s if I didn’t have any preparations.”

I chuckled and picked up my smartphone.

Sejak is not only planted in Yun Ga.

There was also a spy planted on the viewer’s side a long time ago.

“Come to think of it… Didn’t you say that guy became an executive this time?”
