Chapter 1272. Punishing (2)
Inside the Assembly Master’s office...
The Assembly’s executives had gathered here for the first time in a while. However, rather than raise a ruckus like usual, the grim-faced directors kept their silence.
Lee Hyeon-Su fake-coughed after sensing their gazes burrowing sharply into his skin.
“Before I begin, please note that the scope of our investigation didn’t extend to the demon cult, sirs.”
“Why not?” Vator asked pointedly.
Lee Hyeon-Su quickly explained himself. “The demon cult might be affiliated with the Assembly, but investigating the cult believers with the Assembly’s authority is treading on sensitive ground.”
“Sensitive, my foot!” Vator yelled unhappily. “If they are affiliated, that should be the end of the story! How can we not investigate the cult even though it’s a part of the Assembly now? That makes no bloody sense!”
Vator had a valid point. Currently, the demon cult was ‘co-existing’ along with the Martial Assembly in a state of half-affiliation and half-alliance. As such, the Martial Assembly was protecting the cult, but didn’t directly interfere with the cult’s operation.
Vator complaining bitterly about this state of affairs made some sense. But Lee Hyeon-Su could only smile wryly about it.
‘Yes, I understand you’re unhappy. But...’
Unfortunately, this topic couldn’t be approached so casually like that. The problem was with who brought the demon cult to South Korea; was it the Assembly? Or was it Kang Jin-Ho?
The demon cult was definitely not loyal to the Martial Assembly. As a matter of fact, it didn’t even accept the Assembly as a superior organization. The cult’s loyalty was solely reserved for Kang Jin-Ho and nobody else.
