Episode 31: You are the crazy one.


    My ss of alcohol, which was heading towards my mouth, stopped in midair.


    Want me to be your water? no way?


    “What do you mean?”


    “I’m asking you to be mine.”


    I didn’t expect the cutting board toe 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 be 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 was my choice when I didn’t know you were such a crazy person.”


    “I’ve be a useful person, I’ve be a crazy person, I’m busy.”


    You are the crazy one.


    I killed his younger brother, ruined his student, 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 own ambitions.


    “I killed your younger brother.”


    “If you leave your parents’ arms, you are a stranger. Do you feel the pain of your intestines being cut when a rtive dies? Tell them not tough. “As a human being, the thorns under your fingernails hurt more.”


    Everything this old man says now is sincere.


    “Anyway, we haven’t officially joined hands with the Archduke… Even if we do, our minds can change as much as we want.”


    “If you win the elder, it will be like winning a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses. But…”


    “What are you hesitating about?”


    “I don’t know if I can trust you. “You could abandon me just like you’re abandoning your brother.”


    “If it’s time to throw it away, you should throw it away. Do you think it’s me who would do this because you trust me? “Until now, I’ve never trusted anyone.”


    “Then why did you choose me?”


    “I thought I could bet my fate on the madness of you pushing forward so fearlessly.”


    “In the end, it means that I chose him because he was crazy.”


    “It’s going to eat everything up with that madness.”


    If I were a young man at this age, I might havepletely believed Hyeolcheondoma’s words out of the pride of being chosen.


    But I know well the despicable tricks that old people use to take advantage of young people.


    Do you want to be the Heavenly Demon?


    The question asked earlier is simr. These words make you think that if you hold his hand, you can be a Heavenly Demon.


    The question I am asking now has the same intention.


    “If you be the Heavenly Demon, what kind of Heavenly Demon would you be?”


    “At least in the church that I rule, the Mazon will not be able to put external pressure on the Nether States.”


    “ha ha ha. “As expected, my eyes were urate.”


    That snarky attitude of never showing it even when he’s in a bad mood.


    It’s all the old man’s old tricks to mislead me about my decision at this moment.


    For now, I politely declined. In the push and pull of human rtionships, if you are pulled by the pull, you be unattractive prey.


    “I am grateful that you think so 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 just do politics?”


    “I hide with the leader. “Is this really a wise choice?”


    “What does it mean?”


    “Netherfoot? What happens if you do it well? What if the cult leader continues to keep you in the position of a corner of theher regions? Do you n to rot in theher 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’s one of the crossroads of whether to be a sessor or not. “The moment you get confused about it, you will get lost and wander into the fake forest called Hwangcheongak.”


    He concluded his persuasion by involving his father.


    “Rather, the religious leader will pay attention to the sight of me holding hands. Just the fact that I chose you will make you bigger and everyone will notice.”


    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 ss of wine I was holding.


    Despite dying the decision, Hyeolcheondoma smiled with satisfaction.


    “yes. Of course it should be. “You shouldn’t drink just because you’re told to drink like a fool.”


    Hyeolcheon Doma got up from his seat and pulled out the Immortal de 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 ck magic sword and blocked the iing attack.


    Kaang!


    An explosion mixed with the sound of metal erupted. Beyond the crossed swords and swords, Hyeolcheondoma spoke.


    “I’ll hear the answer tomorrow.”


    “I’ll tell you in five days.”


    The tense fight where they were ring at each other was short-lived.


    “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 dark magic sword into the scabbard, he turned his wrist.


    “Damn old man, I’m dying from pain.”


    It wasn’t my best attack, but my wrist was throbbing because the power contained in the sword that flew in was unusual.


    ‘This old man. ‘I secretly enjoy causing pain to others.’


    It’s about letting people know that their martial arts skills are superior. You might think it’s just an old man’s pride or bad taste, but I think there is a clear intention behind Hyeolcheondoma’s actions.


    The blood chopping board pricks the side and leaves a bloody bruise or, like today, makes the arm tingle and cause pain that willst for several days.


    This pain instills unconscious fear in the other person. And this physical violence ys a very positive role in manipting 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 just because you don’t like it, the Murim Alliance or the 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 he was panting as if he was going to run out of breath, Ian held back and devoted himself to training.


    ‘Why you?’


    Because if it’s my order, you’ll be 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 rx.


    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 sses of alcohol for the first time in a long time, enjoying the bright moon as a snack.


    I thought about my father, I thought about Hyeolcheondoma, and I thought about other mazons. I also thought about my life after killing Hwamugi.


    * * *


    Even the next day, Yang Tae did not lose his spirit.


    “joy! Nether Footnote You touched the wrong person. Don’t you know that touching me is like touching the entire Nando Sect?”


    After making threats like this with the Hyeolcheon chopping block in front of him.


    “If you just let me go, I’ll pretend it never happened. “I will personally tell you about Majon’s anger so that no harm wille to you.”


    He also tried to appease him like this.


    He had never experienced such a desperate situation in his life. Looking at the records, it was a life of sess from starting as a demon to bing a demon of ten demons and bing a demon of a hundred demons. He had never suffered, and no one had ever argued about his life.


    So he didn’t know how to act in this situation. Instead of sincerely apologizing and asking for forgiveness, they only used cajoling and threats in the same way they had lived in the world until now.


    Unlike yesterday, I treated Yang calmly.


    “Yang Mu-in. 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.”


    Yang Tae’s expression became gentle at the thought that he would soon be released.


    “Let’s forget everything about the past.”


    I calmly asked his attitude as if he would forgive me.


    “Why do you think I am treating you so politely now?”


    “Isn’t that what you want to end on a good note?”


    “no. “Because it’s thest time I see you.”


    “Is that what you mean? “After I leave, we won’t see each other again.”


    Yang Tae’s face was full of joy. Now is the time to find the true expression that face should make.


    “I think you’re mistaken.”


    “mistaken?”


    “The Nandu Sect did not express regret to us, but to you. “I feel sorry for you for tarnishing the reputation of the Namdo Order.”


    “…what?”


    “And I officially apologized for causing this unpleasant incident. I also apologized to the victims and promisedpensation. “I also 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 Order.”


    “Don’t lie!”


    “Well then, I hope you have a pleasant 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 thest day of that damn thing.


    Instead, he must take responsibility for his actions, for which he never showed any sincere reflection until the very end.


    I gave instructions to Seo Dae-ryong, who was waiting outside the door.


    “Contact the jail and send them to the most difficult ce.”


    “yes.”


    Our school’s prison is hell even if you go to afortable 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. The same goes for my son.


    I didn’t pity them.


    If I hadn’t intervened, they would have lived their whole livesining, and the victim, Kwak Soo’s family, would have lived a miserable life. There must have been Kwaksoo that I don’t know about before, and other Kwaksoos will continue to appear in the future.


    Investigator Jong-hwa, who was threatened, would also have his future lifepletely 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 and ask. “Why did you do that?”


    “If I could, I would. “If you go to Namdojong in the current climate, you probably won’t be able to walk.”


    “no. “Now, I will be able to walk safely out of the Namdo Order dance hall.”


    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.”
