Chapter 810: Trace (1)
The news of Kim Shin-rok’s death reached Seong Guk-eon, and he briefly contemplated whether he should pay his respects to Jeon Moo-young, but soon dismissed the thought.
‘I graduated after he was assigned as a teacher. The students who passed away weren’t yet Eungwang High students.’
Had a joint memorial been established, it might have been different, but as a politician with no direct connection, visiting the funeral could be perceived as trying to exploit the death for political purposes.
As an alumnus of Eungwang High, sending a wreath in memory of the deceased was the sensible choice.
Still, it weighed on him.
Perhaps it was because Jeon Moo-young, who had followed Kim Shin-rok so devotedly, was now being criticized for failing to protect the students and letting them die.
‘The incompetent ones aren’t the powerless teachers but the negligent ones above them.’
Ultimately, Seong Guk-eon decided to focus on preparations for the aftermath, rather than attending the funeral.
He closely observed the movements of the Wung tribe, checked the status of Eungwang High's protective barriers, and strengthened the security in other exam halls to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
After reviewing the events surrounding the incident, it seemed that the students and teachers were caught in the clash between the Hojok and Wung tribes and had died as a result.
Thinking this way, his anger toward the True Family intensified.
Amidst this, Jeon Moo-young, who had visited the funeral, shared an unexpected detail.
