Chapter 1214. Finishing Touches (4)
“Good morning, Prime Minister,” said Lee Hyeon-Su.
He looked a little flustered while answering the sudden call from Kim Myeong-Chan.
Why was this politician calling him out of the blue?
Of course, Kim Myeong-Chan must be on the edge regarding the Martial Assembly’s situation. The Japanese invaders destroying the Assembly meant they would be taking over Korea’s martial society in one fell swoop, after all.
Even if the surface world and the martial world had a relationship akin to cows and chickens, considering the influence the martial artists had in their countries... That event could’ve flipped Korea on its head, and then some.
So, the Prime Minister must’ve been anxious.
What flustered Lee Hyeon-Su, though, was that the Prime Minister had personally called him. Until now, Kim Myeong-Chan took on the attitude of a distant observer. Other than some minor behind-the-scenes support, the Prime Minister’s office remained hands off from this whole war situation.
‘Could there have been a change of mind on their side?’
Lee Hyeon-Su patiently waited for Kim Myeong-Chan to speak. The scenery rapidly passing by outside the car window stung his eyes.
—We heard the news, Mister Lee. Congratulations on your overwhelming victory.
“Thank you, sir.”
Since Lee Hyeon-Su had notified the government earlier, it was no surprise that the Prime Minister knew about it. But that couldn’t be the reason for a phone call like this.
