Chapter 840 Devil to The Others, Hero to His People - Part 4
As soon as Tang Shaoyang arrived in Legion Guild's smart base, the first thing he did was to install the portal gate. This way, he could delegate further work with the Legion Guild to his subordinates.
"The portal gate is about five meters wide and ten meters tall, so where do you want me to install the portal gate?" Tang Shaoyang asked Park Nam Hoon. "We will talk about the application portal gate, about who can and who can't use the portal later with my people. For now, let's install the portal gate first so we can travel to each other's territory easily."
Park Nam Hoon glanced at Yu Jin Sang. This was not something he could decide easily and by himself, but he knew that The Emperor wanted an immediate answer from him. "Can I have ten minutes…. No, can I have five minutes to talk about it with my friends, Your Majesty? This is not something I can decide by myself, and I need to discuss with my men that are responsible for the infrastructure."
"You can, five minutes or ten minutes, I don't care, but make sure to make it quick. I have to visit the other territories later," Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. With the return of the Legion Guild's main force, the civilians cheered up as the Legion Guild brought them good news by defeating the four guilds. The gripping atmosphere in the smart base eased up with the good news.
"Welcome back, Master," Zaneos and Bronson returned to their Master's side and reported what they encountered. He told Tang Shaoyang everything, including the result of his interrogation with the man called Man-Shik, Ah Jae Wook, and Sim Ki Nam.
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow when he heard the report. He was not expecting this kind of development despite his suspicion of the former mayor Tae Bong and his secretary. He intimidated them just because he did not like people like them, having a big mouth and being arrogant, but their work amounted to nothing in the crisis.
Instead of five minutes or ten minutes, Park Nam Hoon returned within three minutes with his two Vice Leaders, Yu Jin Sang and Yoo Kwang Sung. Tang Shaoyang spoke first before they could tell him the result of their discussion. "I have bad news for you."
"Huh!?" Park Nam Hoon, Yu Jin Sang, and Yoo Kwang Sung were shocked to hear that from Tang Shaoyang. Especially Park Nam Hoon, he felt ominous about the bad news. 'Do we take that long? Does he want to break our relationship and take Seoul by himself?' There were so many things crossed in his head about this bad news.
"Do we do something wrong that displeases you, Your Majesty? If that's the case, we apologize. I will ensure that we will not repeat the same mistake again in the future, so please give us a second chance," Yu Jin Sang was quick with his action. He did not know what happened, but the first thing he did was apologize.
"What are you talking about?" Tang Shaoyang was puzzled by Yu Jin Sang's action. "You did nothing wrong, and I just want to inform you there's a traitor within your people." At this moment, Bronson returned by dragging three people with him. Two of them lost their legs, but the third one had his limbs intact and only had superficial injuries.
Park Nam Hoon, Yu Jin Sang, and Yoo Kwang Sung recognized the three people. The Black Knight's Guild Leader and Vice Leader, but what shocked them was the third person. The third person was the Legion Guild's member, Man-Shik.
"Throw the guy called Man-Shik here," Tang Shaoyang pointed at the front of Park Nam Hoon's legs. "If you want to keep your life, tell your Guild Leader everything." Zaneos' voice rang, causing Man-Shik's body to shiver fiercely. Man-Shik grabbed Park Nam Hoon's legs and put his head on Park Nam Hoon's feet as he kept apologizing. He was crying and telling Park Nam Hoon everything about Tae Bong's plan.
Park Nam Hoon rooted on the spot as he could not believe the story. If not for Man-Shik, who told him this, he would not believe that Tae Bong planned to kill him and his friends after what they had gone through together. Then he realized that if Your Majesty Tang Shaoyang did not come, they were doomed even if they won against the Warlord Guild and The Shade Guild because another enemy would wait for them in their home.
"This is your guild's internal affair. I don't care what you want to do with the traitors as I will respect your decision as The Leader of the Legion Guild, but just this once. Once the Legion Guild joins the Tang Empire officially, you have to follow the Tang Empire's law about handling the traitors," Tang Shaoyang said to Park Nam Hoon, then looked at the two leaders of the Black Knight Guild. "Clean them up. It seems we don't need them."
Bronson was about to kill the two, but a shadow came over, swallowing the two people alive. After that, the shadow returned to Tang Shaoyang's shoulder. Greed was quick with his action and cleaned it up without making a commotion. Of course, the Dark Predator did not care about making a commotion. He just did not have enough food earlier, so he ate the two people.
"Drag this traitor to confinement. We will take care of him later," It took a lot of effort for Park Nam Hoon not to take an impulsive action in front of Your Majesty Emperor. Yoo Kwang Sung knew well how angry his friend was, so he immediately dragged Man-Shik away.
"We agree to put the portal gate in the front of the smart base, Your Majesty. We will create a perimeter around the portal gate, so not just anyone can use it, and we will have people guard the portal gate too," Park Nam Hoon was angry, relieved, and ashamed at the same time deep inside. He was angry at the traitors, he was relieved Tang Shaoyang did not break their relationship, and he was ashamed as he could not manage his own people. The Legion Guild kept showing off their bad sides to Tang Shaoyang.
"Alright then, lead me to the exact location," Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. He then followed Park Nam Hoon to the location. The front of the Legion Guild's smart base was similar to a plaza, a big area for people to gather or hang around. Park Nam Hoon led Tang Shaoyang to the middle of the plaza, "I think this spot is good, Your Majesty."
"Good, now you make space for me. I will put the portal gate right now," Tang Shaoyang nodded.
Aleesa, Sylvia, Park Nam Hoon, and Yu Jin Sang retreated ten meters away from Tang Shaoyang.
[Do you want to install the portal gate here? (Yes) (No)]
The screen popped out in front of Tang Shaoyang. He tapped yes without a second thought. The ground was shaking as something emerged from the ground. This caused commotion to the civilians inside the building. The people ran out of the building as they tried to figure out what had happened. By the time all the people came out of the building, the portal gate's installation was over, and the ground stopped shaking.
