chapter 193
192 – Guild Internship_23
There was not a single hint of hesitation in Shin Jin-ho’s actions.
The way he quickly picked up his phone and pressed the button looked like he had practiced it dozens of times at home for this moment.
As if he had won, he lifted one corner of his mouth while looking at Shin Jin-kwang.
‘You look happy.’
Just show me a picture.
I was wondering why he was putting on a show, but since Shin Jin-ho also knew that he would fall anyway, I could just ignore him if he wanted to do one last performance.
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Is that true?”
“The possibility of manipulation…”
Anyway, the team leaders looked shocked when they saw the photos sent to their cell phones.
That was because the photos clearly showed scenes of Shin Jin-kwang stabbing Shin Yang-cheon with a knife while he was down and of him dealing with Shin Yang-cheon.
“This is such a shocking photo that some might think it’s manipulated, but this is the clear truth. The guild leader, no, Shin Jin-kwang, used poison to incapacitate the previous guild leader, then ambush and kill him. He hid the fact and, under the pretext of an emergency, exercised emergency powers to seize the position of guild leader…”
In response to the crowd’s reaction, Shin Jin-ho raised his voice again.
Shin Jin-kwang glared at Shin Jin-ho as if he was going to kill him.
“There is no reason for that.”
At the same time, the team leaders of the Shin Jin-kwang line immediately objected.
They could not have been unaware that if Shin Jin-kwang were to become a figure of no confidence, their mythical life would also come to an end.
“There’s no reason for that?”
“That’s true too. The Vice Guild Master said that the Guild Master committed genocide in order to become the Guild Master. That’s ridiculous. The Guild Master is the eldest grandson of the previous Guild Master. He would definitely inherit the guild if he just stayed still. Why would someone like that do something like that? And it’s a well-known fact to everyone in the world that the previous Guild Master, Sin Yangcheon, is loved and cared for by Guild Master Shin Jinkwang. In the first place, there’s no evidence that this photo wasn’t manipulated. This is a false accusation. Rather, it seems that the Vice Guild Master is coveting the position of Guild Master and is framing the Guild Master with forged evidence…”
That made sense.
On the surface it looks like this.
But for those who knew the details, those words were nonsense.
That would be the case. In fact, the relationship between Shin Yang-cheon and Shin Jin-kwang was not good, and Shin Yang-cheon had no intention of handing over the guild to him because he was the eldest grandson.
There are two reasons.
One reason was that Shin Jin-kwang did not catch his eye.
Another one was because of Yuchae Ah.
However, since those gathered here did not know the exact details, they seemed to be slightly inclined to listen to the words of the team leader who defended Shin Jin-kwang.
“Parenting? Fraud?”
Shin Jin-ho seemed dumbfounded.
“That’s funny.”
He shook his head from side to side and took out several pieces of paper from his bosom.
“Can you say that after seeing these things?”
Then he shook it towards the crowd.
“What is that?”
“This is a confirmation from experts that there is no possibility of manipulation in those photos. This is the will of the previous guild master. It is an arrangement prepared in case there is a problem with the guild’s succession in the future. And the contents are as follows. If the position of guild master becomes vacant due to an unexpected event, that position will be given to Shin Jin-ho.”
It was a rebuttal to what the Shin Jin-kwang line had claimed.
“That’s nonsense. Didn’t the vice-guild leader claim that the previous guild leader was poisoned and ambushed by the guild master? But where would he have had time to leave a will? And it doesn’t make sense why the vice-guild leader has the will, and the content is only favorable to one side…”
“It’s quite funny that a mere team leader is discussing the authenticity of the will and its contents.”
“I was just raising a suspicion.”
But the team leaders on Shin Jin-kwang’s side did not back down.
“Yes. Where is the evidence that this is really the will of the guild leader of the Shin Yangcheon dynasty?”
“And although they say it is a confirmation from experts, I doubt that it is true.”
“Isn’t the guild leader lying?”
Also known as rainy mode.
Even if there was room for argument, I wouldn’t have gone this far, but I found out about this fact an hour ago.
It was clear that he was trying to buy time by destroying this place somehow, as there was no way he could be ready in that short time.
‘I was wondering why you were preparing so diligently when you were locked in the guild room earlier.’
I knew you were preparing for this kind of tantrum.
But that won’t be a problem.
In the first place, that was Shin Jin-kwang’s only thought.
There are many ways to break through it.
Shin Jin-ho handed over the will(?) to Team Leader 1.
“Is it wrong?”
“…The content is not wrong, though.”
“You’ve been with your grandfather for a long time, so you should know his handwriting well. Then let me ask. Is it his handwriting?”
“you’re right.”
Team leader 1 nodded.
Of course, it was a natural reaction since it was written by Shin Yang-cheon himself.
“The handwriting can be as good as you want…”
“There is a blood seal under the will, and there are also DNA test results for it.”
“…”
“And although the certificate is from a trustworthy institution, if you are so suspicious, you may verify it until you accept the evidence presented so far.”
The team leaders who had entered the crying mode eventually began to close their mouths, turn their heads away, or bow deeply.
There are many team leaders here who are on Shin Jin-kwang’s side, so if you can entice the neutral line to vote against the vote of no confidence, you know you can somehow survive.
At that time, it was obvious what would happen if Shin Jin-ho handed over the data to an association or government agency.
Seeing that their master, Shin Jin-ho, had not said anything until now, even if they wanted to cry, the thought, ‘perhaps?’ came to mind.
On the surface, it was like that.
“Shin Jin-ho.”
And since Shin Jin-kwang also knew that fact, he only glared at Shin Jin-ho as if he was going to kill him, and did not take any action.
To be exact, he knew that it wasn’t manipulated, so he couldn’t deny it.
“Then why did you do that, brother?”
Looking at him like that, Shin Jin-ho was shocked.
“You’ll regret it. I didn’t think you’d get away with this…”
What happened to Shin Yang-cheon was a joint effort of three people: Shin Jin-ho set up the situation, Shin Jin-ho poisoned the victim and carried out the work, and Yoo Chae-ah finished it off.
Shin Jin-kwang, who knew this fact, threatened while spewing out mana.
“How shameful to call it a curse, brother.”
“…”
However, Shin Jin-ho ignored it.
I think it’s because even he, a fool, realizes that if there was direct evidence, he would not have raised suspicions directly and would not have just threatened them like that.
If not, then he may have lost his mind at the thought of becoming the guild leader soon.
‘That can’t be right.’
I hope it’s not that stupid.
If you’re that stupid, even if you pay the price for your sins, don’t you think you’re the bad guy?
Anyway, nothing much happened after that.
A repetition of Shin Jin-kwang making threats and Shin Jin-ho killing Lee.
However, the vote of no confidence proceeded without any blockage, and the results were as follows.
15 : 0
It would be easy to raise Shin Jin-kwang’s hand even just by one vote.
As if it was something that had been squeezed.
All 15 team leaders of Shinwha voted in favor of the motion of no confidence against Shin Jin-kwang.
**
“Shin Jin-ho!!!!!!!!!!”
I finally succeeded.
I managed to push that damn new light out.
It wasn’t a success achieved on my own, but there were things I had to share.
Shin Jin-ho couldn’t help but feel relieved as he watched Shin Jin-kwang swear and rebel, only to be subdued by the team leaders and dragged out.
That would be the case, since he had not yet become the guild leader.
In this situation, only he could become the guild leader.
Of course, the position of guild leader was not determined by bloodline, but among those here, he had the largest share of the guild, excluding Shin Jin-kwang. He was also at the forefront of submitting a motion of no confidence and driving out the immoral and inhumane guild leader, and he made contributions by solidifying his legitimacy with his will, which was not a will, so who could stand in his way?
So, Shin Jin-ho wanted to go straight into selecting the guild leader.
It was because all the team leaders who had voting rights had gathered at that time, and it was difficult to wait any longer.
“That makes sense.”
“Since the Lotus is already aggressive, it wouldn’t be good for the guild leader to be empty.”
“That’s right.”
Although there were some who refused, saying that it was not being done in the right order and procedure, most of the team leaders expressed their agreement.
‘Okay.’
Shin Jin-ho clenched his fist and cheered inwardly.
The thought that there wasn’t much time left filled my mind.
“But before that, I would like to start with the second case of distrust that was previously planned.”
It was that kind of moment.
Team leader 1 pushed up his disheveled glasses and muttered something incomprehensible.
A second vote of no confidence?
“The second object of the motion of no confidence is Vice-Guild Master Shin Jin-ho. The outline of the motion of no confidence is as follows. Vice-Guild Master Shin Jin-ho, together with former Guild Master Shin Jin-kwang, are suspected of aiding in the murder of former Guild Master Shin Yang-cheon. As you all know, the evidence is what was distributed in advance.”
That’s nonsense.
No, it wasn’t bullshit, but it was bullshit.
There is no evidence left of that happening.
Therefore, it was clear that the evidence sent was false.
In the first place, a motion of no confidence must be notified here at least one week in advance.
And the consent of the majority of team leaders is a bonus.
But there was no notification, and there was no way that the majority of team leaders would have agreed.
“What the hell are you all talking about? A second motion of no confidence? I’ve never heard of such a thing…”
“I told you.”
“what?”
Shin Jin-ho looked in the direction where the voice came from.
An unlucky face appeared.
“Oh, I guess you were distracted and didn’t hear me. I told you about this at the end of the story. Don’t you remember?”
What are you talking about…
“It is certainly written in the official document transmission records.”
I didn’t understand.
That unlucky guy is saying the same thing.
Team leader 1 also accepted it as no problem.
And I also didn’t understand the other team leaders who didn’t object at all.
“Then there is nothing we can do. We have no choice but to start a second vote of no confidence.”
“Because rules are rules.”
“It seems the guild leader forgot. It’s too bad.”
The team leaders gathered in the large conference room shook their heads one by one as if they had no choice and gave small smiles.
It was like a laugh, no, it was a laugh.
Among them, there were those who stood on Shin Jin-ho’s line, those who stood on Shin Jin-kwang’s line, and those who declared neutrality.
“What, what… No way…?”
Shin Jin-ho looked around the room and realized something was wrong.
“It seems like there’s nothing we can do. In that case, let’s skip the debate and go straight to voting.”
“This is nonsense. This is nonsense. Who is doing this nonsense as they please!!!”
“Then, this vote of no confidence will quickly go to a public vote. If you are in favor, please remain still. If you are against, please stand.”
That’s why I scolded the team leaders, but they just continued voting, ignoring Shin Jin-ho as if he were invisible.
“3.2.1 I will close the voting. The results are as follows: 15 in favor. 0 against. Therefore, I hereby announce that the motion of no confidence has passed.”
