Chapter: 141
Yeowun then sighed in relief. At least the worst-case scenario did not happen. Hameng shook his head.
“Hmph. It’s too early to feel relieved.”
It was as Hameng said. If he had to return the yellow tag, it meant he would lose the right to become a leader. After five days in prison, it would give him only one day to get the tag back when he came out. But would there be any instructors left with a yellow tag on the last day?
‘...That’s a problem too.’
Lee Hameng had given such punishment to show all cadets what will happen when one went too far with violence.
‘I was going to make you stay for seven days, but that will give you no chance.’
This was a small gift from Lee Hameng. He couldn’t bear to lose talented individual like Chun Yeowun, although he was really disappointed over this issue.
“Well, so with that done, let’s talk about your foolishness as a senior graduate of the academy.”
Hameng then unleashed his powerful energy throughout the office. It was so terrifying that it even made Chun Yeowun flinch. The reason why Hameng covered his office was to mask the sound that could seep out of the office.
“I am very disappointed with you.”
Unlike how he was formally punishing Yeowun, he now seemed very angry.
“I had big hopes for you, and you’ve done something only a thug would do,” Lee Hameng spat angrily. Yeowun then thought Hameng was disappointed in Yeowun for destroying the internal energy of a fellow cadet and apologized.
“I’m sorry.”
“Sorry for what? Can’t you do your work better? You have no head to take care of your shit?”
“What?”
“Did you bring him to the medical room after you destroyed his internal energy because you sympathized with him?”
“That’s...”
“Of course not. You were afraid you might get expelled. Then you should’ve not have done that from the beginning.”
“But Chun Jongsum...”
“He used the poison that killed your mother, so he deserves to be killed? Is that it?”
Yeowun was confused and the words got stuck in his throat. Lee Hameng had found out every little detail of what had happened. Baek Jongmeng had spilled all the details about Chun Yeowun, in hopes of defending Yeowun’s position. Lee Hameng scoffed and spoke with a cold voice.
“You bring him to the medical room when you think he’s the one behind your mother’s death? Because you were afraid that you might be expelled? What a fool! If you were going to do it, then you should’ve done it right.”
‘Wait- is he...?’
Lee Hameng wasn’t talking about destroying internal energy. He was implying that Chun Yeowun should’ve just killed Jongsum.
“You shouldn’t have let an enemy live. That will only create more enemies.”
Lee Hameng got the report of what happened the other night when he came to work early in the morning. He quickly came to understand that Chun Yeowun had lost his control over his rage, and thus he was unable to comprehend the problem at stake.
‘He must have been busy learning martial arts for two weeks...’
Hameng hated Right Guardian Submeng, but he too knew that there was no time for Submeng to teach Yeowun things other than martial arts. It seemed that Chun Yeowun was missing out on real-life lessons.
‘I can’t just let him rot with his talent.’
Chun Yeowun had high potential, given the right lessons and guidance. Lee Hameng valued his connection with the six clans, but he was also intrigued by Chun Yeowun.
