Chapter 31
Episode 31: You are the crazy one.
My glass of alcohol, which was heading towards my mouth, stopped in midair..
Want me to be your water? no way?
“What does it mean??”
“I'm asking you to be mine.”
I didn't expect the cutting board to come out like this. He was publicly known to support his brother. But you're abandoning your brother and choosing me? It was truly the most unexpected moment since I met Hyeolcheon Doma..
“This Confucius.”
“yes.”
“Do you want to become the Heavenly Demon??”
“I want to be.”
I answered without hesitation.
“Then drink that drink. I will be your back..”
“You support your brother, right??”
“That's the choice I made when I didn't know you were such a crazy person..”
“It has become a use, it has become a crazy person, I am busy..”
You are the crazy one.
I killed his younger brother, turned his student into a wreck, and imprisoned his subordinate. However, this old man is offering to be my ally. This old man is a man who will sell anything for his ambitions..
“I killed your brother.”
“If you leave your parents' arms, you are a stranger. Do you feel the pain of your intestines being cut when a relative dies? Tell them not to laugh. Being human means that the thorns under your fingernails hurt more..”
This old man, everything he says now is sincere..
“Anyway, we didn't officially join hands with the Archduke... … Even so, your mind can change as much as you like..”
“If you get the elder, it will be like getting a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses. But…….”
“What are you hesitating about??”
“I don't know if I can trust you. Just like you're abandoning your brother, you might abandon me..”
“When it comes time to throw it away, you should throw it away. Do you think it's me who trusts you to do this? Until now, I've never trusted anyone..”
“Then why did you choose me??”
“I thought I could bet my fate on your madness, which you push forward so fearlessly..”
“In the end, it means that I chose it because I'm crazy..”
“It's going to eat everything up with that madness..”
If I were a young man at this age, I might have completely believed Hyeolcheondoma's words out of pride in being chosen..
But I know well the treacherous tricks that old people use to take advantage of young people..
Do you want to become the Heavenly Demon??
The question asked earlier is similar. These words make you think that if you hold his hand, you can become a heavenly devil..
The question I am asking now also has the same intention..
“If you become the Heavenly Demon, what kind of Heavenly Demon would you be??”
“At least in the church that I rule, Mazon will not be able to put external pressure on the Hwangcheonju..”
“ha ha ha. As expected, my eyes were correct..”
That snarky attitude that never shows it even when it feels dirty.
It's all the old man's old tricks to fool me about my decision at this moment..
For now, I politely declined. In the push and pull of human relationships, if you are pulled by the pull, you become unattractive prey..
“I am grateful that you think highly of me, but now I feel like it is time to do my job. What would your father think? I entrusted you with an important responsibility, but wouldn’t you say that you don’t do any work and only do politics??”
“He hides behind the leader. Is this really a wise choice??”
“what does it mean?”
“Netherfootnote? What happens if you do it well? What if the cult leader continues to keep you in the position of a corner of the nether regions? Do you plan to rot in the nether regions for the rest of your life? Right now it's just a process. There is always only one path for you to choose. It is one of the crossroads of whether to become a successor or not. The moment you get confused about that, you will get lost and wander in the fake forest called Hwangcheongak..”
He concluded his persuasion by involving his father..
“Rather, the leader will pay attention to me holding hands. Just the fact that I chose you will make you bigger and everyone will notice you..”
However, there is one thing that Hyeolcheon Doma overlooks..
This is the will to maintain the discipline of our school. Not only is there my will, but the Father's will is also present here..
“Give me time to think. I will drink this drink when I make a decision..”
I put down the glass I was holding..
Even though he postponed the decision, Hyeolcheondoma smiled with satisfaction..
“yes. Of course it should be. You shouldn’t drink because they tell you to drink like a fool..”
Hyeolcheon Doma got up from his seat and pulled out the Immortal Blade that was stuck behind him..
He pulled the sword out of the ground and swung it at me with the same force..
Instead of dodging, I pulled out the black magic sword and blocked the incoming attack..
Kaang!
An explosion mixed with the sound of metal erupted. Beyond the crossed swords and paths, Hyeolcheondoma spoke..
“I'll hear the answer tomorrow.”
“I'll tell you in five days..”
The tense fight that was glaring at each other took a moment..
“See you in three days.”
Without waiting for an answer, the Hyeolcheon Doma soared into the sky and disappeared over the fence. It was a quick and great new method without any unnecessary details..
After putting the black magic sword in the scabbard, I turned my wrist..
“Damn old man, I'm dying from pain..”
It wasn't my best attack, but the power contained in the sword that flew in was unusual, so my wrist was throbbing..
‘This old man. I secretly enjoy causing pain to others..’
It's about letting people know that their martial arts skills are superior. You may think it's just an old man's pride or bad taste, but I think there is a clear intention behind Hyeolcheondoma's actions..
A blood chopping board can stab you in the side and leave a bloody bruise, or it can make your arm tingle like it did today, causing pain that will last for days..
This pain instills unconscious fear in the other person. And this physical violence plays a very positive role in manipulating the other person to one's will..
The more I go through it, the more I feel that I am not an easy old man. At the same time, I also wonder why my father makes me dance with swords..
There was not one, but eight beings like Hyecheon Doma. If they were all united under the name Palmazon, it would not be easy for even their father to deal with them. Although they gossip, gossip, and fight among themselves, they are of one mind when dealing with Cheonmajeon..
Moreover, they are the main force of our school. If you get rid of it because you don't like it, the Murim or Sado Alliance will attack right away..
‘You like it because I’m crazy? That's what I say when I don't know how far I can go.’
Before entering the residence, I stopped by Ian's personal training center for a moment..
Ian was so focused on training that he didn't even know I was there, and like I said, he was doing basic physical training..
Even though Ian was panting as if he was going to run out of breath, he held it in and devoted himself to training..
‘why you?’
Because if it's my order, you'll become a foolish gomtaeng. You're not really a foolish person, but you're willing to be this kind of person for me..
After watching her practice for a while, I returned to my room..
I brought some drinks and sat by the window to relax..
When I think about fire weapons, I can't even rest for a moment, but that doesn't mean I can only look forward and run forward. If you lose the time to look around, you will definitely miss something..
I drank a few glasses of alcohol for the first time in a long time, taking in the bright moon as a snack..
I thought about my father, I thought about Hyeolcheon Doma, and I thought about other mazons. I also thought about my life after killing Hwamugi..
* * *
Even the next day, Yang Tae did not feel discouraged..
“joy! Nether Footnote, I touched the wrong person. Don't you know that touching me is like touching the entire Nando sect??”
After making threats like this with Hyeolcheon Doma in front of him,.
“Just release me and I will pretend it never happened. I will personally tell you about Majon's anger so that no harm will come to you..”
I also tried to appease like this.
He had never experienced such a desperate situation in his life. Looking at the records, it was a life of success from starting as a demon to becoming a demon of ten demons and becoming a demon of a hundred demons. He never suffered, and no one ever argued about his life..
So he didn't know how to act in this situation. Instead of sincerely apologizing and asking for forgiveness, he only used cajoling and threats in the same way he has lived in the world so far..
Unlike yesterday, I treated Yang calmly..
“Yang unmanned. Please sit down. Today, the Namdo Order officially announced that it regrets this incident..”
Then Yang Tae was overjoyed..
“I told you so. Mazon will never abandon me. Now, release me now..”
Yang Tae's expression softened at the thought that he would soon be released..
“Let's forget everything about the past.”
I asked calmly as he seemed to want to forgive me..
“Why do you think I am treating you so politely now??”
“That's not to end things on a good note.?”
“no. Because it's the last day I see you.”
“Is that what you mean? Once I'm gone we'll never see each other again.”
Yang Tae’s face was full of joy. Now it's time to find the real expression that face should make..
“I think you're misunderstanding something..”
“illusion?”
“Namdojong did not express regret to us, but to you. I feel sorry for you for tarnishing the reputation of the Namdo Order..”
“……What?”
“And he officially apologized for causing this unpleasant incident. I also apologized to the victims and promised compensation. I said I would make sure something like this never happens again..”
“What… … Bullshit? Until now, Namdojong has never officially apologized for something like this. No matter what incident happens.”
Yang Tae’s voice was trembling..
“It would be an honor. By changing the Namdo species,.”
“don't lie!”
“Well then, I hope you have a happy life in prison..”
I got up from my seat. Later, Yang Tae started yelling and making a fuss. I told him to just leave it alone. Because today was the last day of that damn thing..
Instead, one must take responsibility for actions for which there was never a single sincere reflection until the very end..
I gave instructions to Seo Dae-ryong, who was waiting outside the door..
“Contact prison and send them to the hardest place..”
“yes.”
Our school’s prison is hell even if you go to a comfortable area. It is not just a saying that it is better to be beheaded than to go to prison. With that personality, he wouldn't be able to survive in prison. Same goes for my son.
I didn't pity them.
If I hadn't intervened, they would have lived their whole lives complaining, and the victim, Kwak Soo's family, would have lived a miserable life. There must have been a Kwak Su that I don't know about before, and other Kwak Su will continue to appear in the future..
Investigator Jong-hwa, who was threatened, would also have his future life completely ruined..
So I have no sympathy or regret whatsoever..
“What happened??”
“what?”
“Why did the Namdo Order issue an apology statement? This is unprecedented..”
“Go ask. why did you do that.”
“If I could, I would. If you go to Namdojong in the current atmosphere, you probably won't be able to walk..”
“no. Now, you can safely walk out of the Namdojong dance hall even after dancing..”
I added as I walked down the hallway with great strides, leaving Seo Dae-ryong saying he didn't know why..
“Until the next two days.”
