Chapter 15
The IMPU enforcers briefly returned to headquarters to obtain authorization to guard Geum Taeyang.
Normally, IMPU enforcers were never assigned to protect a specific man.
In the first place, since IMPU enforcers did not belong to any particular country, there was no reason for them to guard a man affiliated with one.
But this time was different.
Geum Taeyang himself had designated them as his escorts.
So the enforcers reported this fact to the Supreme Council.
What woman could refuse when a gentleman had personally chosen her as an escort…!!
The members of the Supreme Council sat within a giant dome.
They were called the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders because they had lived for ten thousand years.
They possessed power and might befitting their title.
"I see."
"Chief Park Hana is innocent."
"Lord Geum Taeyang has designated the enforcers as his escorts."
"The results of the psychological evaluation are all true."
Merely by looking at the enforcers, the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders had examined everything down to their souls and confirmed Park Hana's innocence.
If the contents of the report were true, such healthy semen could not have been produced after Park Hana raped him.
"But what happened during the semen collection…"
"Death penalty."
Park Hana was innocent, but the enforcers were not.
One of the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders, who knew everything that had happened during the semen collection, waved her hand.
Above the giant dome, the scene of the enforcers stroking Geum Taeyang's cock and collecting his semen was revealed in full.
Boom-!!
"Aaargh…!!"
The enforcers were forced to kneel and vomit blood under the pressure they felt.
This was the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders.
Even the enforcers, who had surpassed the first stage of the Immortal realm and were approaching the second, could not fathom what realm the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders had reached.
According to rumor, they had even reached the realm of gods who could create something from nothing.
There was no way the enforcers could escape the pressure of such powerful beings.
"But… since Lord Geum Taeyang has shown you special mercy…"
"Everything shall be according to his wishes."
"Effective immediately, I appoint you as Lord Geum Taeyang's escorts."
Yet the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders showed mercy.
A gentleman's word was absolute… well, not entirely, but an ideal wife had to obey it whenever possible.
Naturally, the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders were all ideal wives as well.
They had never intended to kill the enforcers Geum Taeyang had personally chosen as his escorts.
They had merely warned them so they could not gaslight Geum Taeyang while he remained unaware of everything.
"Th-thank you!"
Once the enforcers closed the door to the Supreme Council chamber and left,
the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders began to murmur.
"Has the time of the promised one finally come?"
"Could that be the person mentioned in the ancient documents from one hundred thousand years ago?"
"Even with our power, we could not find the terrible torture facility where that person was tortured."
"As if it did not exist in this world."
"And Park Hana's rape was covered up."
"Could this truly be the appearance of the gigolo mentioned in the ancient documents?"
Only the voices of the Ten-Thousand-Year Elders, whispering in words that only they could understand, echoed through the chamber.

On the evening of the day Geum Taeyang returned after completing his medical examination,
all the news channels in Baekunguk were broadcasting breaking news in unison.
[Today is a truly historic day for Baekunguk]
[With the number of new gentlemen increasing, the number of gentlemen in Baekunguk has finally reached one thousand!]
[It has been confirmed that there was tremendous diplomatic pressure from other nations]
[Thanks to the president's determination to protect the gentleman at all costs, Baekunguk was able to safely bring a new gentleman home]
Everyone in Baekunguk rejoiced, to the point that even the president went on the air to deliver an emergency address.
"Dear citizens.
Today!
Baekunguk has achieved victory.
Even under pressure from other nations that swarmed like packs of jackals, we were able to protect the great gentleman, Geum Taeyang, in our country."
President Rina of Baekunguk stood proudly before countless cameras, giving an interview with a confident smile and her fist raised.
-From today on, lesbians supporting the president regardless of party, upvote~
-I'll start, lol.
-For real, this is definitely a must.
-But seriously, how did she pull this off? To be honest, other countries are always taking our resources and technicians... and she protected a 'man'!
-Ah... You don't get it, do you? This is what being president means. She uses all her political power to protect a gentleman.
Voices supporting President Rina grew louder on the internet as well.
Baekunguk's citizens showed Rina such fierce support that her approval rating instantly soared from thirty percent to ninety-nine percent.
Being the first president ever to protect a man who belonged to no country was enough to earn her support, even if she ruined the economy, diplomacy, and politics.
Meanwhile, the news in other countries was as bleak as could be.
[Today, Her Imperial Majesty evaluated this as the greatest humiliation in the empire's diplomatic history and stripped the duke who had gone as an envoy of his title]
[There is no way to know what heinous acts were committed in Baekunguk, which perpetrated such terrible deeds against the gentleman]
[It is possible that extensive brainwashing had already been carried out before the gentleman escaped from the criminal organization...]
The duke was stripped of his title, ministers were forced to resign, and in some cases, kingdoms experienced revolutions while other countries began impeachment trials.
Yet even amid such chaos, all the news channels in every country held to a single opinion.
The conspiracy theory that the crime had occurred in Baekunguk and that the gentleman had even been extensively brainwashed…!!
"Huh…?"
Ninave, who had been watching the news, turned off the television.
As the matriarch of every criminal organization in Baekunguk, Ninave found the news extremely unpleasant.
Even if they were women who had chosen to live recklessly, how dare they lay a hand on a man.
And right under her nose, too.
"Which place was supposed to bring today's tribute?"
"The Chilseongpa."
"Let's start with them."
Had they thought that, because she was notorious for hating men, she would never act no matter what they did to a man?
Ninave clenched her teeth.
She did not care what happened to the man who had been brainwashed and tortured.
What mattered to her was protecting the underworld she had built.
In that case, she had to tuck in her tail and bow down before the government intervened.
For that purpose, Ninave began taking action herself.

After the medical examination ended and Geum Taeyang returned home, he lay down on the sofa without realizing it and muttered,
"Ah, I'm tired."
Even though he knew that the men of this world were almost as fragile as sunfish and lived their lives being utterly pampered by women,
he still had not fully adapted to this world.
Before he knew it, he had let the words slip out.
"Taeyang!! Are you all right?! Take deep breaths. Deep breaths…! Wh-what do I do…? I'll call an ambulance right now…!!"
"Ah, no! I'm fine, noona. It's not that serious. I just feel a little worn out after spending the entire day at the hospital."
"You're tired?! What on earth did those IMPU enforcers do to you…!!"
Park Hana shouted, her voice trembling as though she were about to burst into tears at the sight of Geum Taeyang saying he was tired.
"Did you call for us?"
At the same time, the IMPU enforcers appeared behind Park Hana.
They tore apart every defensive spell and incantation protecting her house in an instant.
"The house meant to protect the gentleman is trash."
"We'll cast the spells and incantations for you instead."
"Do you really think this will be of any help to the gentleman?"
The enforcers chided Park Hana while watching Geum Taeyang's reaction,
as though they were trying to show that they were superior to Park Hana.
"You... didn't you hear Taeyang say that he was tired because of you?"
"What?!"
"We're sorry!!"
Boom!!
But which side was actually superior?
The enforcers immediately knelt before Geum Taeyang and bowed their heads to the floor.
"Ah, it's fine. Could you stop suddenly kneeling and banging your heads against the floor?"
"Y-yes! We're sorry for making you uncomfortable…!!"
At Geum Taeyang's words, the enforcers stood back up.
"Would you like us to give you a massage?"
"What?! Absolutely not!!"
And they offered a massage to Geum Taeyang, who had said he was tired.
Naturally, Park Hana refused.
It was not because she was worried about losing Geum Taeyang.
It was perfectly normal and common for a man to date several women.
Moreover, the only person who had a say in deciding which women he met was the man himself.
But these enforcers were the very people who had dared to make Geum Taeyang tired.
How dare criminals who had committed such an impious sin lay their hands on Geum Taeyang's body?
It was impossible.
"By the way, are you going to be my escorts from now on?"
But that was not particularly important to Geum Taeyang.
What mattered was whether they would follow him around as his escorts from now on.
"Yes. That's right. We received word from our superiors that there would be no problem with guarding Lord Geum Taeyang."
"We absolutely will not let a drop of water touch your hands."
"If you wish, you will not even have to walk…"
"Ah, enough, enough. I'm just an ordinary citizen, so that sort of thing makes me uncomfortable. I would prefer it if you only helped me when I asked you to. You can do that, right?"
"…I-I understand…"
The enforcers felt as though their hearts had been torn into a thousand pieces, yet they forced themselves to answer.
What kind of horrible torture had the gentleman endured for him to refuse help of his own accord…!
"Taeyang… Sob…!!"
Park Hana began to cry as well.
'This is a disaster.'
Seeing them like this made Geum Taeyang feel dizzy, so he shook his head and sprawled face-down on the sofa.
"Then please give me a massage."
"Huh?"
"A massage. You just offered one, didn't you?"
"Y-yes!!"
The enforcers brightened at Geum Taeyang's words and immediately began rubbing his arms and legs.
Gently… gently…
But it was far too feeble to be called a massage.
Their touches were so delicate and soft, as though they were handling a fragile glass ornament.
'Are they kidding…'
The sensation of being toyed with irritated Geum Taeyang slightly.
"Please massage me a little harder."
"Yes…! Yes!"
Press… press-!!
At Geum Taeyang's words, the enforcers began putting a little more strength into their hands.
"Whew… What? You're good at this."
As befitting ideal wives, they possessed truly first-rate massage skills, and Geum Taeyang sincerely praised them.
"Thank you."
"If it hurts, you must tell us immediately…!"
"If you don't mind, we will continuously monitor your vital signs…!!"
"Ngh… M-me too…!!"
Though their faces flushed, the enforcers began to worry that Geum Taeyang might suddenly suffer a heart attack.
The men of this world often had arteries clogged with fat, and sometimes suffered heart attacks during massages after being startled by blood surging through blood vessels that had suddenly opened.
Park Hana also watched worriedly as he received his massage, biting her nails.
"Massage the front too."
"Underst—?!"
"Kuhup!!"
"Cough…!!"
"T-Taeyang!! A man shouldn't be showing himself like that…!!"
When Geum Taeyang turned over, the unmistakable shape of a huge dragon writhing beneath his pants came fully into view.
Park Hana and the enforcers all drew in a sharp breath.
Feeling their crotches inexplicably growing damp, they all began squeezing their thighs tightly together.
"Please massage me quickly."
Only Geum Taeyang calmly urged them to touch his body.
'Shall I make them my allies for good now?'
Geum Taeyang had not chosen them as his escorts for no reason.
The enforcers in front of him were the easiest ones to pull to his side, without a doubt.
After merely collecting his semen, they were already emitting female pheromones like mad, as though they were in heat. They would surely explode at the slightest touch.
Geum Taeyang had made them this way starting with the semen collection.
He had deliberately teased them with only moderate caresses.
Their bodies, unable to bear it any longer, had already grown scorching hot.
