Chapter 297
Episode 297 Why Me??
The enemy who lost his limbs did not feel sad..
A dead person is a dead person. Even if he loses his right arm, it is obvious without asking how he would feel about himself..
“You have to hold him until I get back..”
Because he knew the nature of enemy defeat well, Joo Yang was able to figure it out. If you miss the sword dance, you will die. You are already between life and death.
The first thing to do faithfully is to go collect interest..
The next day, the knifeman who went to collect interest came back with a broken hand..
It was the same the next day. I was hoping they would show up on the second day, but they didn't show any appreciation for the sword dance performance..
When he returned with a broken hand for two days in a row, the knifemen at the Tongteon Station were shaken. Some suddenly fell ill and lay down, and some even disappeared, saying that something urgent had come up..
Among swordsmen, the sword dance was criticized as heartless, but Jooyang thought the opposite. The other person was showing mercy. If he were heartless, no one would have survived the electrification center already..
‘Why didn't they kill everyone that day??’
When the eyes of the person who had been tortured by cruelty were closed, Joo Yang despaired and thought, 'Oh, we will now be exterminated.' But that wasn’t the case with Geommugeuk. There's definitely a reason they were saved..
Anyway, I had to go collect the interest today too..
“I'm going myself today.”
The expressions of the swordsmen, who were nervous that they might be caught by Jooyang's words, brightened. As a manager, there were limits to blindly sending out swordsmen, so he took the initiative himself..
I left the power station feeling bitter as I saw that no one was following me to escort me. Okay, I understand. Even I wouldn't have followed him.
Rather, Geommugeuk welcomed me with a more welcoming face than the subordinates..
“Why have you come? The men have already run out.?”
“Everyone is afraid..”
“But that doesn't mean you're the kind of person who worries about your subordinates.?”
“what do you know about me?”
Geommugeuk stared at him..
“Be confident. I went somewhere to call a great expert.?”
Although it hit the nail on the head, Jooyang tried not to show any signs of surprise..
‘How quick are you?.’
I was acting scared. How on earth did you notice this??
“It wouldn't be easy to find someone more skilled than the person sent to kill me back then..”
Joo Yang could tell that the person speaking in the sword dance was referring to Jeokpae's right hand man. That is correct. So I went to the Demonic Cult to ask for help..
Instead of answering, Jooyang changed the topic by asking a question..
“Why didn't you ruin my hand??”
This is the most curious thing. I didn't really do anything good to him..
Geommugeuk took out two coins and placed them on the table and said..
“I might need your hand.”
Jooyang was puzzled by those unexpected words, but Geomugeuk did not say anything more and went up to his room..
Zhou Yang lifted the coin on the table..
I was just about to leave when I suddenly looked down at my hands. You need these hands? Why on earth?
* * *
“It seems like the landowner is starting to dig up the owner's back..”
At those words, a groan came from under a rock the size of a house..
Surprisingly, there was a person carrying the large rock. No matter how much strength I used, how could I hit such a large rock? It was a sight that made me think..
thud.
A rock fell to the ground and a man emerged from behind it and walked out..
He had strong physical strength and a sharp appearance, but if he were to be compared to an animal, he would be a tiger..
Master of the Demon Sword Jungak (仲岳)).
This is a man who explains everything in one line..
The Demon Sword Corps was the elite of the Heavenly Demon Church and was a military organization deployed to the Gangseo region, the front line, in preparation for war..
Jungak was an expert with strong martial arts skills, as befits the person in charge of leading an elite organization, and he also had a wealth of practical experience..
“When you're carrying this heavy thing, reporting like that means you're trying to kill me.?”
The subordinate who made the report was Chahoe, the commander of the Mageomdae, a member of the middle evil tribe..
“Shouldn’t I also take a shot at juju and retire??”
His personality was so cold and stern that even the warriors of the Demon Sword Corps were afraid of him, and the only person he had an informal conversation with was Chahoe. Their loyalty was so deep that there were no secrets between them..
“That person is investigating my background.?”
“Yes, I released someone secretly..”
In terms of rank, Danju was higher than Daeju. However, elite organizations such as the Demon Sword Corps had authority that went beyond rank. So usually in cases like this, there is an appearance of respect for each other..
However, this was not observed well in Gangseo District..
“That guy really likes making enemies. We actually did all the fighting..”
Jungak took off his sweaty clothes and washed his body under running water. His whole body was full of scars. It was a body that made you feel what kind of history you must have in order to become the Great Master of the Demonic Swords..
He continued talking while washing his body..
“How good would it be to live a good life? Comfortable among people who are neither enemies nor friends.”
“I don't know what the intention is behind pretending to be upright..”
“No, he's just sick. I'm the type of person who can't stand it if you don't show off like that..”
After washing up, he put on new clothes prepared in advance..
“so? Will it be a problem??”
“For now, I have restricted the entry..”
The most serious evil was corruption, as suspected by Jidanju. He was secretly collecting bribes from various clans in Gangseo..
On the other hand, Zidane, who was new last year, had a strong personality and never allowed bribes. As a result, more and more bribes were given to the worst. Jung-eok took whatever was given to him..
“They say they'll give away the extra money, but I don't know why they're having such a hard time. All I have to do is take the money that those scum give me, take care of it, and make my own decisions..”
It actually did that. He did not accept all of the other party's demands just because he accepted a bribe. I ignored what I thought was wrong, and did what I thought was okay..
The four letters that made it possible, Demon Sword Master.
Of course, most of the bribes they paid were for things that haven't happened yet..
“We're fighting anxiety, right? how good?”
Chahoe laughed lightly at Jungak’s joke..
The problem was that this wasn't something to laugh about..
“As you know, I'm not usually a picky person, so if I start digging like this, I'll eventually find out..”
Jung- Ak's eyes shone coldly. The fact that he decided to investigate his background means that he also risked everything. The relationship was pretty good at first. Where on earth did it go astray??
Jungak slowly walked to the rock and drew his sword..
I swung it lightly as if cutting down a tree branch..
Oh my gosh.
The big rock split in half..
The meeting was filled with respect for this amazing move..
“Even for the sake of martial peace…….”
Jungak added while touching the smooth cross section of the rock..
“Even if the owner changes, we have to stay the same..”
And at this very moment, as fate would have it, there was a visitor..
Another subordinate came and reported..
“A guest has arrived.”
* * *
The person waiting in the secret room was the enemy..
This was a place used by Jungak to have secret meetings..
Jeokpae was also wearing a bamboo hat and a shabby jangsam to avoid revealing his identity..
When Jungak came inside, Jeokpae jumped up and greeted him politely..
“Long time no see.”
“I would have told you not to come visit me until I called you.?”
Jungak's reaction was cold. Originally, he openly ignored the enemy team that ran Yeomwangchae..
‘Then you should have ignored my money too..’
The enemy hid his true feelings and bowed down..
“If it had been so urgent, would you have come to visit me like this??”
“what's going on?”
“A person impersonating a mine has intervened, and he is a master we cannot touch..”
The part where he impersonated the head of the Demonic Church was intentionally left out. If that was the case, it was clear that they would use that as an excuse to backtrack, saying that they were asking us to deal with such a crazy person due to his nature as a serious evil..
“Is impersonating our school a serious crime? What great skills you have?”
“So much so that I have to rush here. please help me!”
In a situation where Zidane was doubting himself, he would have originally refused unconditionally. But one thought crossed Jungak’s mind..
“I get it. I'll take care of it.”
“thank you.”
They gave permission so willingly that I was rather embarrassed..
“Instead, there is one thing you must do..”
“Please state.”
“Let Jidanju hear that there is someone impersonating Mine. I can't handle this kind of thing alone..”
I could see the enemy and defeat..
‘Since the opponent is a master, I'm not moving and I'm trying to get rid of him using Jidanju. Anyway, the fine hair.’
Anyway, it didn't matter. All I have to do is get rid of him..
“I will do as you command..”
In fact, Jungak was planning a much more ruthless plan than the Red Army expected..
Gangseo Jidanju dies while going to catch a man pretending to be a member of the Demonic Cult? The revenge will be taken by the demon sword team.?
Will that work? If I had lived a life of doubt, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now..
I have to make it happen.
This was the life Jungak lived..
* * *
Joo-yang came again the next day..
“Our teacher, now you can come alone without fear..”
“At least I said I needed my hand, so I guess I can protect my hand.?”
Zhou Yang was so curious that he couldn't sleep all night..
“Why on earth do you need my hand??”
Then the most surprising words of Zhou Yang's life flowed from the mouth of Geommugeuk..
“I was thinking of making you the head of the new power station..”
Jooyang shouted without realizing it..
“nonsense!”
On the other hand, the sword dance was calm..
“Why do you think it doesn't make sense??”
“That's right…….”
There were many reasons. But it was a reason I had never thought about or said before..
“You weren't going to kill me.?”
The sword dance he felt was not someone who just leaves the evildoer alone..
“That's right. Originally I was going to kill him, but now I need a villain..”
Geommugeuk revealed his plan.
“If you're a necessary evil anyway, I'm going to make it a real necessary evil. From now on, the central power station will lend money at a reasonable interest rate. Right now it's just the Tongjeonso, but someday I'll change where all the Yeomwangchae in the central plains are placed..”
I finally found out. Why did you save yourself? Why did I leave my hand intact? It meant that you should continue to bounce the abacus with this hand..
This man in front of me was having a truly absurd dream. These words came out of nowhere.
“What the hell are you??”
The answer I heard many times came again..
“Demonic cult leader.”
“you are just crazy!”
He is the one who punched a hole in a person's forehead and smashed the hands of a knife holder, making them scream like this. It keeps making me let my guard down..
“In the end, even the loan sharks listen to that. If the Mazons had listened to you, they would have laughed it off. I'm sure you'll be crazy for teasing me for a while..”
Zhou Yang shook his head. Either he's really crazy or... … Either he is making a joke in front of the real leader of the Demonic Cult, or.
“You think it's possible.?”
“I don't know. Because you have to take charge of it..”
How can this not be confusing??
“No matter how strong your martial arts skills are... … you're going to die anyway.”
“then you help me.”
“What kind of demonic cult leader wants help from a loan shark??”
Juyang laughed to himself as if he thought the joke was funny, but then quickly looked down. If you hang out with a crazy person, you'll go crazy together..
“Okay, let's say that. Why me? Wouldn’t it be enough to appoint someone worthy of that? Not someone like me, someone who isn't greedy for money..”
Personally, the thing I was most curious about was Jooyang..
“Since this is a place that handles a lot of money, that person will also become corrupted because of money. On the other hand, you will no longer be corrupted. If you break your promise to me and do something foolish, it will be easy for me to kill you without any remorse..”
I never thought it was for this reason.
“You do it too much in front of people..”
“If you think I will save you, you are mistaken. It won't be easy for you. You will have to manage your organization thoroughly, and you will not be able to steal even a single penny..”
This was the punishment that Geommugeuk gave him..
“Just like the people who paid you back the interest, you will have to work hard until the day you die. While receiving the wrong interest for the rest of your life,.”
“If you refuse?”
“The day the enemy dies, we will die together.”
Geommugeuk took out two coins one after another and placed them on the table. The behavior seemed like this. This coin belongs to the enemy, this is yours.
Upon seeing the coin, Zhou Yang's heart began to beat like crazy again. These days, I might die from my heart exploding before my forehead is pierced by that coin..
Is it because of the fear of death, the vanity of thinking he could become the owner of a power station, or the frustration of having to do boring work for the rest of his life? When I'm with you, my heart keeps racing like this..
Geommugeuk asked calmly, as if he were listening to the sound of Zhou Yang's heart..
“I'm afraid?”
“Then I won't be afraid.?”
“Even if you fall into the sea, you can survive as long as you have enough space to stick out your nose and mouth. No matter how wide the sea is, as long as it is just this big.”
Geommugeuk rolled his hands like cylinders in front of his face..
“Think carefully about whether this much pore space is mine or yours. You'll have to decide quickly. Because soon a big wave will come crashing down.”
Zhou Yang was looking down at the coins on the table. These two coins were about to change his fate.
How do you feel? I wanted to live. If I had to live my whole life in atonement, I would rather choose death. I don't have that kind of spirit or courage..
If the real devil comes out soon, he will be torn to pieces. Why does my heart keep shaking? Why do you want to say, even now, 'I will follow your will, so please save me!' Why does it feel like it has to be like that??
Jooyang said as he took the coins..
“Those waves are hitting you first. So take care of your pores..”
