Chapter 102
Episode 102 You'd rather survive.
Not only the Bisain, but also Seo Jeong-tae and the seven Apostles were surprised to hear that I was the son of the Heavenly Demon..
“Are you really a sword dance??”
Bisain's face became more distorted and his voice became more subdued..
“exactly.”
Bisain asked Extreme Soma for confirmation..
“Would you like to ask Mazon? It's true?”
“Who in the world would dare impersonate the religious leader's blood relatives in front of him??”
That was the end with those words. Because I wouldn't call a fake real unless the evil Soma goes crazy..
“why are you here?”
Although the Apostolic Association knew that the evil Soma had been expelled from the church, they did not find out that I accompanied him..
“It's probably the same reason you're here. To resolve this matter without bloodshed. You didn’t come out for that reason either.?”
Bisain asked the question again instead of answering..
“How did you know it was me??”
Because it happened in the past.
But I couldn't answer that way.
“It is known that the two Apostles are capable of taking on a single Mazon. However, while dealing with one Mazon, eight Apostles came? No matter how important this is, I don't think you've come too far.?”
“But I don't think that's the basis for finding me.?”
“Of course it is. So I looked at you. Usually, you put an important person in the middle, so I looked at the person in the middle. So there are definitely differences..”
“What is it?”
“Even though we wore the same clothes, we couldn't pay attention to our shoes. Your shoes are very high-quality, hard to find in the central region. The sword he was wearing wasn't an ordinary sword either. Not only that, but when I prayed earlier, the way I blended in with other people was different. Since we rarely prayed together, it was inevitable that there would be votes..”
“I really felt the difference.?”
I nodded, and Bisain’s expression hardened. I couldn't say that there was a clear difference in skill just by reading the prayer, but it wasn't a good situation..
I pretended not to notice and continued talking..
“There is another reason. I noticed that the owner of the top was sending a telegram. Sending a message at such an important moment means that you are asking someone about a decision. A person who can give orders to the lord of the upper tier here, guarded by the Seven Apostles and wearing a precious sword and shoes. At this rate, I shouldn't have to guess that it's you.?”
Bisain nodded slowly, still with a stern face..
At that time, Extreme Soma and Ian sent the same electric sound almost at the same time..
―The scientist is a genius..
―You are a genius.
I sent a message to Ian..
―You just sent a signal similar to the evil Soma..
―It seems like both good and evil have recognized you, Mr..
―which side are you?
―master!
If it were just the two of us, we would have laughed and continued to joke, but I stood calmly, controlling my facial expressions..
If the two people were pleasantly surprised, Bisain's mood was on the contrary subdued..
Bisain, now is not the time for you to be offended. Because now you have the only chance to change your destiny.
“I'm jealous.”
“What do you mean??”
“Hasn't he already been confirmed as the successor? I'm still struggling.”
Bisain’s mouth twitched. Even if he smiled slightly bitterly, his entire mouth would turn into a wrong expression and he would have a very provocative expression..
I know why he makes this face when he is in a situation where he would be proud..
Although the successor had already been decided, a fierce secret struggle was still going on within the Apostolic Alliance..
There have already been three sneak attacks, and one of them was really dangerous. Because so many people were aiming for the position of successor, it was impossible to find out who was responsible..
That was the reason why he was now carrying seven of the Apostles with him..
However, in his life before returning, he ends up being assassinated..
Will his fate change when he meets me??
That was something I couldn't figure out. Will what will happen happen, or will he live a new destiny?.
At that time, one of the Thirteen Apostles who were guarding Bisain took off his bamboo robe and stepped forward. He was a gray-haired veteran..
“Nobu is the person who leads the Apostles..”
Ylang (一狼) Baekcheolgi (白鐵期)).
He was the leader of the Thirteen Apostles and a confidant of the Apostle Lord..
When Bisain injured my face as a child, I felt guilty for my entire life for not being able to prevent it. And when Baek Cheol-gi is assassinated by secret forces and dies, Baek Cheol-gi dies with him while trying to protect him..
Was that why? I had a crush on him. This is because I saw Ian in the man who died trying to protect the leader..
“I've heard recently that a scholar from Shingyo is gaining prominence, but is this really true?.”
“I just guessed it with my keen eye..”
“For a warrior, sharp eyesight is a talent more important than any other talent..”
“Thank you for your kind opinion.”
After exchanging nice words, Ilang got to the point..
“The reason why Lord Xiao came out today is not just to solve the problem at the top..”
“Then what is it for??”
“Someone is hoping that Extreme Soma will cause blood death once again..”
When he was mentioned, Extreme Soma came forward and asked:.
“who are they?”
Ilang shook his head..
“We don't know either..”
Then, Extreme Soma looked at me as if seeking an answer. I lived up to his expectations.
“They must be aiming for the position of successor to the Apostolic Alliance..”
“What do I have to do with them??”
“Suppose that Soma annihilated the Baekgye Sangdan today. There will be another uproar, right? Perhaps those behind this incident are trying to plot something by taking advantage of the conflict and dispute between our church and the Apostolic Alliance..”
When I guessed right away, not only Ilang, but even Bisain, with whom I was talking, was surprised. Because they figured out what they already knew at once..
Bisain started talking again.
“how did you know that?”
“As you said, the Prince himself came forward today. If it wasn't directly related to his problem, he would have sent someone else and not stepped forward like this..”
“Since you are so intelligent, I don’t need to explain why you have to die. Please return to your school now. That would be a good thing for both sides.”
“We also have something to ask of you..”
“what request?”
“Please hand over the Baekgye Sangdan in Gwiju right now. And please compensate Soma for all the losses he has suffered over the past two years..”
Everyone was surprised by the unexpected words. Although he probably doesn't know, even Extreme Soma would be surprised by my proposal..
The first person to get angry was Seo Jeong-tae, the owner of Baekgye Sangdan..
“What are you talking about? Are you going to bite me right away? And even compensation? Does this make sense??”
I looked at Seo Jeong-tae coldly..
“There seems to be no hierarchy here. When a minor lord is talking, a subordinate suddenly interrupts..”
I felt sorry for saying that. Because our school was a mess.
Bisain spoke coldly on behalf of Seo Jeong-tae, who was in tears..
“Rather, I should be grateful for the warning and extend the period further. What nonsense??”
“It's you who is making outrageous remarks..”
“I?”
“How long has it been since you were the official successor??”
“It's been a bitch.”
“Those who planned this incident must have been trying to become the successor since the time when the prince became the successor, or even before that. Isn't that so??”
“Let's say yes..”
“Then, do you have proof that they were not involved in the bloodshed that Soma caused two years ago??”
“What?”
Bisain was puzzled. You probably haven't thought about that part..
“You must have seen Soma's work today. I can see you trying to control yourself even in angry situations. But why was it like that two years ago??”
I looked at Extreme Soma. Extreme Soma said with an expression of disbelief..
“no way? Are you saying that there was some kind of background to that incident? They used me? This extreme soma? There was a reason why those guys at that time attacked like they were crazy because they wanted to die.?”
With every word, the cold demonic energy became thicker..
Soon, Extreme Soma started laughing like a crazy person. It was his laugh when he was really angry..
“Lee Gongja, I jokingly said that I would wipe out everything and be locked up for ten years, but I think I might have to be locked up for twenty years..”
Bisain, sensing that Extreme Soma's reaction was genuine, was unable to say anything for a moment. He, too, must be suspecting that the bloodshed two years ago may have been a plot by them..
“But I have no intention of biting the Baekgye Sangdan..”
“Good. Then let's add one condition..”
“What are the conditions??”
“Soma and I will help uncover the background to this incident..”
It was a series of surprises. This may be the first time Bisain has been surprised so many times in one day..
“You told us to go back, but we won't go back. Master Soma is not someone who will go back just because you tell him to.?”
Extreme Soma helped me and said something..
“If I had to go, I would have to stay.”
I smiled slightly and continued..
“As you can see, he is that kind of person. So we will help. If they drag Soma in, we can't stand it either..”
“Are you confident in uncovering the background??”
“It may be impossible to completely reveal them after years of hiding, but I will find a clear clue to reveal them. If you provide me with that clue, will you please listen to the demands I suggested earlier??”
The reason for this suggestion is simple..
Because I already knew who was behind it..
Bisain will eventually be accepted.
You must have seen something extraordinary in what I showed today, and more than anything, the profits in Gwiju and the punishment for the evil Soma were nothing compared to finding and eliminating the person behind the attempt to kill me..
Bisain and Ilang, Bisain and Seo Jeong-tae exchanged messages with each other..
I gave them time..
At that time, Extreme Soma sent a message..
―Will they accept it? The amount of loss would be enormous..
―I will definitely accept it. Shall we bet? Buy food! How about?
―You're obsessed with Bob and my mask again. I don't like it.
I laughed out loud, he didn't laugh.
Eventually, the meeting ended with Bisain exchanging notes..
“great. I accept it. Instead, when you give me a clue, I will back out..”
“great. Let's do that..”
I pulled out the dark magic sword and held it out to him. Bisain drew his sword and lightly hit mine..
visor.
This clear sound of swords clashing was the seal of promise..
We looked at each other between our crossed swords.
My eyes were extremely calm as I looked at his crushed and distorted face..
Even though I didn't have any particular fondness for him, I did have some ill feelings toward the next successor. 'Cause some real scumbag will take his place.
Of course, this life would have no meaning if it went on like the past. Because that guy also gets killed by fire weapons..
But if we all survive?
Then there is meaning.
It's better for you to survive.
Your scarred face will be more helpful to the martial arts community than the handsome face of the trash that was left out..
“See you then.”
“That's right.”
So we left Baekgye Sangdan without shedding a single drop of blood..
On the carriage ride back, Extreme Soma asked me:.
“It was boring?”
“Did you meet the successor to the Apostolic Alliance between the Thirteen and Seven of the Apostles? Were you talking about the person behind the plan to kill him? Which point is boring??”
Extreme Soma laughed. It's a habitual smile, but I felt a little different..
“How did you know he would accept it??”
“It's a matter of your life and your position as leader of the Apostles. I thought you would accept any conditions..”
“Are you sure you can catch them??”
“That is a question for Soma. Are you confident? Because they are the ones who will attack Soma, not me..”
Extreme Soma laughed louder.
“My boring world is getting fun..”
“It wasn't boring from the beginning. Moorim is so exciting, but I think Soma and I have been stuck at our school too much..”
“But where do you find them??”
“We won't have to look for it. Because they will come. We just have to do our thing.”
Extreme Soma gave me a look of sincere admiration. They are going to be attacked anyway, and if they can get a clue in the process, all of Gwiju's troublesome problems will be solved at once. Even making up for past losses,.
I added another emotion to his admiration..
“I have no interest in whether the successor to the Sapostolic Association dies or lives. All I care about is Soma’s world. It's about seeing the world..”
This journey is to see the world of Extreme Soma, and by the end of it, we will know more about each other..
Extreme Soma, who was quietly staring at me, said with an interesting sparkle in his eyes..
“This time, I have to go and show you why the ugly heart is ugly..”
So the carriage started running again towards somewhere in his world..
