Episode 342:
After going to the family battle, I looked up at the sky and muttered.
‘The Dragon King….’
The king of dragons.
It was a perfect title for , a reviewer and absolute expert.
The feeling was new.
I vaguely thought that one day I would occupy a place in the Ten Heavenly Emperors, but it didn’t feel real when I was actually called by the nickna of King.
‘This is not the stage to be satisfied and complacent.’
There was strength in the hand I was holding.
It’s still too early to raise your nose.
I’ve only just overco the wall, but I’m still immature compared to other absolute experts.
It is true that he has achieved great heights that are not appropriate for his age, but this was only possible because it was based on mories and experiences from his past life.
When I thought about the enemies I would face in the future, I had to grow and beco stronger.
‘Even after reaching the prefectural level, he fell far short of Lord Ma.’
The leader of the cult who jumped into the middle of the Heavenly Cult all alone returned to the Demon Cult’s sphere of influence without a single injury.
Since I had missed this opportunity that I would never have again, the place where I would encounter him again would most likely be the battlefield.
To catch a monster, I also had to beco a monster.
I will continue to advance without stopping and will definitely reach the sa realm as the Demon Cultist.
“Boss.”
It’s been a while since I moved on.
A young woman ca up to and spoke to .
It was Lee Su-yeon, a new mber of Cheonan Gambu.
“Were you waiting?”
“yes.”
When I saw her bowing her head politely, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Sima Wun, Hong Seong-hyeon, and Hwa Dae-rang, who previously served as assistants, were not by my side at the mont.
Sima Yun remained in the Sima family, and the other two returned to ng’s headquarters.
‘There is no need to be so strict with manners.’
As soon as the personnel were decided, the person who stepped forward to take their place was Su-yeon Lee.
It’s good that they volunteered, but they were so motivated that it felt like a burden.
It seed like even I would be affected by the stiff atmosphere that was unique to the newcors.
“The ssenger sent by Elder Hwang Bo-gyeong left a ssage for .”
“Elder?”
“They said they would be waiting for you and asked you to co and show your face.”
“All right. Sojeo, please go back and rest now.”
“I will wait until you finish your business.”
“……Anyway.”
Perfect!
I fed honey chestnuts to the head of Lee Su-yeon, who maintained a stubborn attitude.
Lee Soo-yeon clutched her forehead with a bewildered expression at the unexpected attack.
“Relax your shoulders.”
“Director Boo.”
“Why do you think I returned most of the mbers to the team and selected only the minimum number of people?”
“That is because they are concerned about the safety of the injured…”
“It is because they want to create an atmosphere as comfortable as possible. This is not a mission that will be completed in a day or two. “Now that I’m leaving on a long journey, I’m going to go on a leisurely outing.”
“…….”
Cheon Ga-ryeong, Dok-go-seong, and Lee Su-yeon.
They were one of the few people I could talk to comfortably.
It wasn’t for nothing that I chose two new, less skilled swordsn as my companions.
“Of course, there should be a clear distinction between public and private affairs. However, there is no need to forcefully extend the boundary. “You know what I want to say, right?”
“yes. Brother.”
“If you understand, just go back and rest. “Even if you traveled by carriage, you would still be tired.”
“I will.”
Lee Su-yeon’s cheeks turned red as she lightly stroked her head as if comforting a child.
For a while, I just stared at her back as she headed towards her dorm.
I turned around and headed to Hwang Bo-sega’s Elder Hall.
‘I think Hwang Bo-gak rushed to the Presbyterian Hall as soon as he arrived at Sega. I’m worried that he may have heard so harsh words.’
* * *
“Did you tell Taesangga Lord about the Heavenly King?”
“yes. “It just so happened that it happened that way.”
“But you really tried to stop .”
“What happened?”
“What happened? He suddenly barged into my house while I was sleeping and threatened to explain the whole story.”
“…….”
“I thought my heart was dropping. “You have to be able to stay calm when you sit across from and ask questions incessantly.”
“A person’s heart does not break that easily.”
“Are you making fun of now?”
Hwang Bo-kyung’s face beca grim.
I giggled and picked up the glass on the table.
Seeing that the snobbish old man was unable to regain his composure, he must have been very upset.
My shoulders were shaking with joy.
“But in the end, things didn’t work out well.”
“If the outco had been bad, I wouldn’t have left you alone.”
“Those are scary words.”
“Anyway, thank you. “Thanks to you, I can relax for an hour.”
“It was not I who killed Hwang Bo-hoon, but the Demonic Cult leader.”
An uncomfortable atmosphere was created.
My gaze and that of Hwang Bo-kyung t in the air, sparks flying.
[Since the target is the head of the Heavenly Kingdom and not anyone else, I should receive additional compensation.]
[Tsk, the calculations are so thorough.]
It was a truly ambiguous situation.
Hwang Bo-kyung asked to assassinate him.
I accepted it and made it clear that I would demand paynt in return after completing it.
However, the Great Lord of the Heavenly Kings died not by my hands but by the hands of the Demon Cultist.
In so way, the request was completed, but considering the progress, there was no need for Hwang Bo-kyung to pay compensation.
Because in reality, I didn’t do anything.
‘Actually, it was difficult to get a chance due to Hwang Bo-hoon’s unexpected behavior. If it weren’t for the cult leader, there is a high possibility that the request would not have been completed.’
However, it would have been awkward for Hwang Bo-kyung to completely wash her mouth here.
Whatever it is, it’s true that I moved to carry out his request, and I managed to handle the post-event process quite neatly.
Let’s keep fighting for a while while keeping an eye on each other.
It was Hwang Bo-kyung who broke the silence and spoke first.
He put down his drink, buried himself in the backrest, and said.
“I will keep my promise. With this, the debt you owe is settled. However…”
“Are you trying to say that additional compensation cannot be given?”
“I see.”
“I can’t help it. “It’s unfortunate, but I’ll accept it and move on.”
Hwang Bo-kyung’s eyes narrowed.
He seed to feel uncomfortable seeing obediently withdrawing.
The wariness on his face was like seeing a cat with its fur standing on end.
“Instead, I would like to ask you a light favor.”
“ask?”
“Take this first.”
I took out a book from my pocket and placed it on the table.
Hwang Bo-kyung picked up the book, looked at the outside, tilted her head and asked.
“What is this?”
“Jeongmyeong Gong (正明功). “It is one of the secret books obtained by attacking the secret temple of Muyeongshintu.”
“This is the vision left behind by Muyeongsintu?”
A light of greed appeared in Hwang Bo-kyung’s eyes for a mont.
It seed like he was quite excited, as his hand holding the ergency docunt was tense.
I smiled and said dismissively.
“It’s not a sitting exercise, it’s a moving exercise. “It’s nothing special, just a slightly unusual martial art.”
“…What is the reason you are handing such a martial arts skill?”
A tone that shows disappointnt.
The mont the word pupil was ntioned, the expression on his face beca bitter.
The change in attitude was very blatant.
“Because it is a Qigong that can be learned without Danjeon.”
“…!”
“The Lord of the House of Lords assured . Don’t worry, we will take steps to ensure that the children rescued from Samasega can safely return to their daily lives. But I felt like that alone wouldn’t be enough.”
The more advanced a martial artist is, the greater the recoil when he loses his power.
Conversely, the shorter the experience of learning martial arts, the smaller the recoil when losing the danjeon.
Among the children who lost power, none of them has yet had their health deteriorated and their lives put in danger.
Although it was not life-threatening, it did not an that there were people suffering from severe pain and lethargy.
It may get better over ti, but that doesn’t an you can be reassured.
The aftereffects should not be taken lightly.
Since I didn’t know when or how I would get sick, I had to pay attention in advance.
‘More than anything.’
The martial arts that the kidnapped children learned was magic, not Jeongjongsimbeop.
Once a side effect occurs, an uncontrollable situation could occur.
“If you teach those martial arts to children, you will be able to minimize the recoil from losing your danjeon. At the very least, the aftereffects will not interfere with your daily life. “If you do well, you could join the ranks of experts.”
“So now you’re telling to teach martial arts to children?”
“Isn’t it perfect for a pasti? If you think it would be difficult for the elder to teach it yourself, you can leave it to one of the guard warriors. “What we want is a promise to take full responsibility for the children.”
“Surprisingly. “I didn’t know you were this affectionate and gentle with children.”
“Actually, it doesn’t really matter to what happens to them. “It is true that they are poor children, but in the end, they are complete strangers, aren’t they?”
“But why do you care so much?”
“I thought that one of my subordinates would continue to worry if I didn’t make sure I cleaned up after it.”
“I know what you an. “So you’re saying this is a asure to ease that friend’s worries?”
“That’s right.”
“Good. Don’t do that. “It’s not a particularly difficult request to grant.”
“thank you.”
At first glance, it seems like Hwang Bo-kyung was losing money, but considering that he got the secret docunts for free, it could be said that he actually benefited.
Although it is not a martial art that can foster great masters, the value of Jeong Myeong-gong is by no ans small.
“Let’s stop talking about boring things and have a conversation suitable for drinking.”
match!
As Hwang Bo-gyeong, who gathered the energy surrounding her, clapped her hands, the servants waiting outside busily brought in food.
The table was quickly filled with delicious food.
I drew a satisfied smile on my face.
I was hungry at the ti, so he knew exactly how to prepare a al.
“You beca king this ti?”
“yes.”
“To reach absolute heights at the age of 25. There really is no such thing as a monster.”
“Do you know how many tis I’ve heard sothing similar to that?”
“Well, it doesn’t make sense for a young man who has just turned 20 to reach the level of Buddha. “What is the secret?”
“Is there such a thing as a secret? “I just practiced hard.”
“This is the problem with so-called geniuses. “They all give only boring answers.”
“…….”
We chatted and drank for a while.
Hwang Bo-kyung, who was shedding exclamation as she swept the neatly emptied plates, asked in a soft voice.
“Aren’t you planning on getting a useful new mber?”
