Episode 407 Abduction 5 7 years later (abduction complete)
The loud sound of cheers resonated in the training hall filled with the prosecutors’ enthusiasm.
“Ha!”
The children are the ones responsible for the sound of cheers that shakes the gymnasium.
Young swordsmen who looked to be around ten years old were holding wooden swords with fern-like hands.
“Vertical cut. Ninety-seven!”
Baek Cheon-woong stood on the podium and gave commands so that the children could swing their swords.
“Ha!”
The children swung their wooden swords in accordance with Baek Cheon-woong’s commands. Although he was inexperienced, he had a serious expression as if facing an enemy.
“Vertical cut. Ninety-eight!”
Baek Cheon-woong shouted his command with a kind face like the grandfather next door.
When I saw the children slashing their swords with sweat beading on their foreheads, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Vertical cut. Ninety-nine!”
I looked at each child from the front row to the back row, and my eyes stopped on the two children in the last row.
‘It catches my eye right away.’
Although they wore the same uniform and held the same wooden sword, the two of them stood out in particular.
The two children were a little shorter than the other children, but that was not the only reason.
The black-haired girl’s swordsmanship was powerful enough to make you believe she was in her mid-to-late teens, while the red-haired boy’s swordsmanship was fluid as if it was his first time holding a sword.
‘Twins are so different.’
Haha, I burst out laughing.
‘Are those kids unusual?’
Those two children are twins born to Baek Woo-jin and Jeok Yeon-hwa.
Interestingly, Baek So-yeon, a black-haired girl, was born with Baek Woo-jin’s face, and Baek Woon-chan, a red-haired boy, was born with an appearance similar to Jeok Yeon-hwa.
Baek So-yeon has a confident personality and excellent sword skills, so she has already surpassed the level of swordsmen in her mid-teens.
On the other hand, Baek Woon-chan had no talent with the sword and had a timid personality, so he only stayed next to his older sister.
“Vertical cut. hundred!”
Baek Cheon-woong took his eyes off the two children and shouted his last command.
“Ha!”
The children fiercely slashed their swords and looked at themselves.
“Everyone did well. This is the end of today’s training! “Go and rest.”
“Wow!”
The children cheered and ran to the break room. The serious faces returned to their original age in an instant.
However, Baek So-yeon and Baek Woon-chan remained there.
“Ha!”
Baek So-yeon stayed behind and swung her sword, while Baek Woon-chan stayed next to his older sister and hesitated.
“Soyeon and Unchan, please rest too.”
“grandfather! “I want to do more!”
Baek So-yeon shook her head confidently.
“What about Unchan?”
“I’ll stay with my sister.”
Baek Woon-chan wiggled his small fingers.
“Is that so?”
Baek Cheonwoong smiled slightly and nodded his head. The confident Baek So-yeon and the shy Baek Woon-chan are just cute.
“Soyeon. When you go back, take care of Unchan. “My back hurts, so I guess I’ll have to go first.”
“Ha, grandpa.”
When Baek Cheon-woong stroked the two children’s heads and was about to leave, Baek Woon-chan grabbed his sleeve.
“hmm?”
“Hey, can I stop now?”
“That’s enough, do you mean sword training?”
“huh….”
Baek Woon-chan slowly nodded his head.
“It’s not fun, and I’m not good at it….”
“Hmm, shouldn’t you ask your dad about that, not me?”
“Yes.”
The child stood with his thumb in his mouth and lowered his head. He looked anxious.
“Why are you doing this?”
“I said I wanted to follow in my sister’s footsteps, but if you quit first…”
“Do you think your father will be disappointed?”
“yes….”
Unchan nodded his head slightly.
“Hahaha!”
Baek Cheon-woong burst out laughing and caressed Baek Woon-chan’s cheek.
“Ha!”
In the meantime, Soyeon swung his sword without paying attention. It was incredible concentration.
“Then shall we go see your father?”
“huh? “To dad?”
“You have to say this directly.”
“Yeah, but!”
“You have nothing to worry about, so relax.”
Baek Tianxiong smiled softly and held Yunchan’s hand.
“Are you going to see your dad? “Then I want to go too!”
Baek So-yeon hung her wooden sword on her waist and held Baek Cheon-woong’s other hand. The two siblings’ personalities were completely opposite.
“Hehe.”
She had to bend her back slightly to match the children’s height, but it wasn’t difficult for her. She just had fun.

“It’s branch expansion….”
Baek Woo-jin narrowed her eyes as she looked at the documents and world map lined up on her desk.
“There are many organizations that want to take shelter from the rain under the umbrella of Shingeombaekga. “Increasing branches would not be a bad choice.”
Moon Juyoung, standing in front of the desk, handed over a few more documents.
“It’s the same overseas. “There are more than a few countries that have offered to create branches of Baekga.”
The document contained detailed information on countries and organizations that wanted to be protected by Shingeombaekga.
There were countless countries, guilds, and talented people who wanted to be under the influence of Shingeombaekga, which had become the world’s most powerful guild.
“There are many prosecutors who have grown, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to send them abroad.”
Thanks to himself and his dark education, the skills of his prosecutors improved greatly. These are guys who will do their job no matter where they are sent.
“However, there will be prosecutors who do not like being appointed overseas, so make sure to research their likes and dislikes. We are also preparing additional compensation plans for prosecutors going overseas.”
“As expected, you are thinking about that first.”
Moon Joo-young smiled as if she knew that would happen.
“I thought that would be the case, so I came up with a compensation plan and additional points.”
“Then check it and give final approval….”
As she was returning her documents to Moon Joo-young, the door to Gaju-jeon burst open.
“dad!”
Soyeon came running, covered in sweat and dust, as if she had just finished training. Behind them were Unchan and Baek Cheonwoong.
“Are you finished with your swordsmanship training?”
“huh!”
“yes….”
Baek Woo-jin smiled brightly and hugged So-yeon.
“Ugh!”
Unlike So-yeon, who pressed her face against her shoulder, Un-chan lowered her eyes and had a gloomy expression.
“Unchan has something to say.”
Baek Cheon-woong came late and gently pushed Un-chan on the back.
“What should I say?”
“that….”
“say it.”
Baek Woo-jin approached Baek Woon-chan while holding Baek So-yeon.
“Uh, over there….”
“Unchan wants to stop training!”
Perhaps out of frustration, Soyeon spoke first before Unchan could open his mouth.
“Wow….”
Moisture seeped into the corners of Unchan’s eyes, which closely resembled Jeok Yeonhwa’s eyes.
“okay? “Do you want to stop?”
Because he expected him to say something like that, he made eye contact with Unchan and smiled.
“Yes.”
The child stopped crying at her smile and nodded her head.
“why?”
“It’s not fun, I’m not good at it, and I don’t know why I need to learn it…”
“Why didn’t you tell me until now?”
“I said I wanted to do it first, but I thought my dad and mom would be disappointed if I quit…”
“Mom and Dad are okay. “If swordsmanship isn’t for you, there’s no need to learn it.”
He gave me a friendly smile and shook his head.
“B-but people said that since my older sister is a woman, I should become the head of the family. “I’ll have to work hard at swordsmanship training…”
“who?”
“I heard it while I was passing by the North Garden!”
Soyeon raised his hands and shouted.
“How dare you!”
“It’s been a while since I had to tidy up.”
Moon Joo-young and Baek Cheon-woong left the room with eyes that could slay the devil. Those two will take care of it.
“There’s nothing to worry about, Unchan! “I will become the head of the family and beat them all!”
Soyeon twirled her clenched fist.
“Soyeon, Unchan.”
Baek Woo-jin got down on one knee and sat in front of the two children.
“You can do what you want. Soyeon said she wanted to follow her father and become the head of the family, right?”
“huh!”
“Unchan doesn’t have a dream yet, so let’s find it slowly.”
“Um, is that really okay? They said that my father had a really hard time becoming the head of the family…”
“okay.”
He nodded and closed his eyes. Past events pass by through that dim vision.
Death in a past life. A new life gained from encountering darkness. Until the moment when he fought numerous enemies and eventually defeated his father.
It was a difficult time, but the happiness I have now exists because of that moment.
“The reason dad became the head of the family was because he wanted to let you guys do what you want. Unchan and Soyeon can quit at any time and start at any time. “Dad and Mom are always on your side.”
“I will become the head of the family!”
Soyeon suddenly turned his head, pulled out his wooden sword, and stabbed the air.
“Does Unchan like animals?”
“huh.”
“Then do you want to learn elemental magic?”
“Spiritual magic?”
There was a bright light in Unchan’s eyes.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and snapped his fingers.
Phew.
The green wind that came in through the open window gathered into a circle and Leo, the size of a kitten, appeared.
“This child is father’s spirit.”
“wow!”
“Hey, what’s your name?”
Both Soyeon and Unchan opened their eyes wide when they saw the spirit.
“Leo.”
“Leo! “It’s Leo!”
“Leo….”
Soyeon petted Leo first, and Unchan sneakily approached him and touched his tail.
‘As expected, Leo works well.’
Ignis and Sulbing have dirty personalities, while Chrome has a gentle personality but a scary appearance.
For children, Leo, who was like a chubby baby tiger, was the best.
“Dad, one of my teachers is a really great spiritist. Should we visit this weekend? “I also saw the sea.”
“really?”
“okay.”
“I want to go too!”
Soyeon crossed her arms and ran around.
“okay. “Let’s all go with mom.”
“huh.”
“okay!”
Unchan had a bright smile with no shadows, and Soyeon was as lively as ever.
“Then let’s go see mom before it’s too late. “I need to eat.”
“What about Dad?”
“Dad, I’ll be back later.”
“huh! “You have to come quickly!”
The two children went out to the family battle with Leo in their arms.
“Aren’t you being too soft on your kids?”
I turned around at the cold voice. Darkness was looking this way with its chin resting on the window.
“Wipe that smile off your face and say that.”
Baek Woo-jin snorted. Darkness was pretending to be cool while laughing because the kids were cute.
“Uhm….”
After flexing his facial muscles, the darkness climbed through the window and came inside.
“You are too weak for kids. As the head of a family, you have to get things done. Let Unchan learn basic swordsmanship too. “If you can’t do it, I’ll do it for you.”
“Take care of yourself. “If Soyeon runs away saying ‘Uncle!’, he can’t do anything.”
“Ugh….”
“You.”
Baek Woo-jin leaned against the desk and crossed his arms.
“If you like the kids that much, say your lines. “Don’t just watch dramas all the time.”
“….”
“Karen and she got married, so why hasn’t there been any news yet?”
“Yes, there are circumstances.”
“circumstances? “Why did you do something so careless that you ended up in a separate room?”
“Ha, it’s not like that.”
Darkness let out a deep sigh. It was a little different from his usual reaction.
“Then what is it?”
“…all.”
“uh?”
“…Called.”
“You can’t hear me?”
Even if he concentrated his hearing, he couldn’t hear anything.
“Okay….”
The darkness came closer, chewing its lips.
“When Karen created this body, she omitted that part of me, the man.”
“What? really?”
Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth wide. There was only one thing that could come out of this situation.
“Well, then it doesn’t exist?”
“there is! It’s there, but it’s not functioning! “We’ve been reorganizing since last year!”
“How long does it take?”
“About a year.”
“Wow, then are you still a eunuch until then? “Have you been a eunuch until now?”
“shut up!”
Darkness roared.
“I’m the king of energy, I didn’t know you were going through that kind of pain.”
“dog sound! “What kind of energy king are you!”
“You know that. I ate Manlyeonhwari’s Naedan. “Soyeon and Unchan are also in the same room!”
Baek Woo-jin raised his waist with a more confident face than ever before.
“Ma, the inner altar of Ten Thousand Years of Hwari….”
Darkness closed his mouth as if remembering Naedan’s options.
“I am the king of energy, but you are a eunuch. Oh, this is true. “I can’t lend it to you.”
“Shut up!”
“uh? “Was the old man in darkness a eunuch?”
Baek Woo-jin and Darkness’ heads turned at the cheerful voice heard from the window.
“Oh, I guess that’s why… I’ll keep this a secret for now. “You know I have a big mouth, right?”
Muyeong-gaek disappeared at a brisk pace, letting out a loud noise.
“hey. “If you don’t stop that guy, tomorrow the whole family will say you’re a eunuch!”
Baek Woo-jin pointed to Mu Young-gaek’s back.
“You did it on purpose! “Even though I knew that a mysterious guest was coming!”
“Think about it later and stop it quickly!”
“What a punishment! Not a eunuch! It’s temporary! “It will work soon!”
The darkness let out a roar and chased after the running warrior.
“Whether it’s temporary or something, you’re a eunuch now.”
Baek Woo-jin returned to his chair and sat down, laughing.
“After all, darkness is best enjoyed when it is unfair and pitiful.”

As I was finishing up my work for the day, the door to Gajujeon opened.
“Are you still working?”
Standing in front of the door was Jeok Yeon-hwa, with silky red hair flowing down over her shoulders. Although a lot of time had passed, her beauty seemed to shine more and more.
“Is it time already?”
Baek Woo-jin raised his head and looked at the clock. The plump needle was already pointing to eight o’clock.
“We were the last. “Everyone is gathered together.”
“We’ll have to deal with this later. let’s go.”
I put the documents aside and left the room with Jeok Yeon-hwa.
As I went down the stairs to Gajujeon, I saw people gathered in the central garden.
There were Baek Cheon-woong and Baek Yeon-hwi and other direct descendants, Jeok Wi-jin and Jeok Gyeong-hoon, and Heuk-am and Karen.
“What if we invite you to eat and we’re late?”
“sorry.”
I held the hand of Jeok Yeon-hwa, who was now accustomed to speaking informally. She pouted her mouth, but did not avoid her hand.
Holding her hand, she went down the stairs and entered the garden.
“I….”
As she walked towards her table, Yeonhwa opened her mouth.
“why?”
“Aren’t you bored these days?”
“suddenly?”
“In the past, you risked your life on adventures and fought against the strong every day. “I think it would be boring to just look at documents and practice alone these days…”
Perhaps she had been thinking about it for a long time, but her questions were specific and contained concerns about me.
“If you feel frustrated, you can leave….”
“are you okay.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and pointed in front of him.
eunuch darkness. No, So-yeon and Un-chan were laughing while riding on the shoulders of the temporary eunuch Heuk-am, and the others smiled happily at the sight.
“I have kids, I have family, I have friends. And above all, there is you. Is there any reason to be frustrated? “I’m happy now.”
“right….”
Yeonhwa turned her hand and clasped it. The side of her face seemed slightly red.
“How about you?”
“me?”
“Do you regret anything?”
“Ha, there is one, but…”
“What?”
Baek Woo-jin stopped her steps and made eye contact with Yeon-hwa.
“Soyeon is learning swordplay, and Unchan is learning elemental magic. “I feel a little bit disappointed that there are no children learning how to play.”
“aha.”
She nodded. Yeonhwa seems to have been upset that she did not have a child to inherit her martial arts skills.
“then!”
“Ouch!”
Baek Woo-jin held Yeon-hwa in his arms.
“W-what are you doing!”
“Why are you worrying about something like that? “Just make another one.”
“Eh? “I need to eat now?”
Yeonhwa’s face turned bright red, and she began to address her respectfully, just like she did when she was a girl.
“They will eat on their own even without us.”
She turned her body in the direction where the bedroom was.
“Are you really going?”
“When have you ever seen me lie?”
“Wow, is this person really crazy! “What if the child doesn’t want to learn martial arts?”
“Then it’s only good for you and me.”
She smiled brightly as she looked at Yeonhwa, whose eyes were fluttering open.
“Ugh, are you really… Sigh!”
She lifted the complaining enemy Yeonhwa a little higher and then kissed her red lips. A breath as sweet as a peach stimulated her brain.
“Ugh….”
Red Yeonhwa’s eyes spin like a top. She was always beautiful, but she was cutest when she was shy, like now.
“Do you have something to say?”
“…Uh, none.”
“Then think about it while you go to the bedroom.”
“What?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he hugged Yeon-hwa tighter, her face as red as Hong-si’s.
“cognomen.”
