Episode 102 It’s better for you to 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 dancer?”
Bisain’s face became more distorted and his voice became more subdued.
“exactly.”
Bisain asked Extreme Soma for confirmation.
“Would you like to ask the Majon? “Is it true?”
“What kind of person in the world would dare impersonate the religious leader’s blood relatives in front of him?”
That was the end with those words. Because you wouldn’t call a fake real unless the evil Soma goes crazy.
“Why are you here?”
Although the Apostolic Association knew that the extremely evil Soma had been expelled from the church, they did not find out that I accompanied him.
“I guess it’s the same reason you’re here. To resolve this matter without bloodshed. “Isn’t that why you came too?”
Instead of answering, Bisain asked the question again.
“How did you know it was me?”
That’s because it happened in the past.
But I couldn’t answer that way.
“The two Apostles are known to be strong enough to take on a single Mazon. However, while dealing with one Mazon, eight Apostles came? “No matter how important this matter is, don’t you think it’s gone too far?”
“But I don’t think that’s grounds 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, we had no choice but to leave a mark.”
“You really felt the difference?”
I nodded, and Bisain’s expression hardened. Although it could not be said that there was a clear difference in skill just by reading the prayer, it was not a pleasant 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. “Shouldn’t I guess this is you?”
With his face still stern, Bisain nodded slowly.
At that time, Extreme Soma and Ian sent the same electric sound almost at the same time.
―You are a genius.
-You are a genius.
I sent a message to Ian.
―You just sent a message similar to that of Extreme Soma.
-Both good and evil have been recognized in you.
-Which side are you?
-young 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 feel bad. Because now you have a unique opportunity to change your destiny.
“envious.”
“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, creating 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 Sado League.
We’ve already been attacked three times, and one of them was really dangerous. Because so many people were aiming to become the 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.
For the rest of my life, I felt guilty for not being able to prevent Bisain from hurting my face when I was young. 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.
“Recently, I heard that a scholar from Shingyo is gaining prominence, but it is truly a masterpiece.”
“I just guessed it based on my keen eye.”
“For a warrior, keen insight is a talent more important than any other talent.”
“Thank you for a good look.”
After exchanging good words, Ilang got to the point.
“The reason why Lord Xiao came out in person today was 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 stepped 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 to become the successor to the Apostle League.”
“What do I have to do with them?”
“Suppose 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. This is because they figured out what they knew all at once.
Bisain started the conversation 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 come 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 will be a good thing for both sides.”
“We also have something to ask of the Prince.”
“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 it, even Extreme Soma would be surprised by my suggestion.
The first person to get angry was Seo Jeong-tae, the head 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.
“It seems there is no hierarchy here. “When a small lord is talking, a subordinate casually 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.
“Instead, I should thank you for the warning and extend the period further. What nonsense are you talking about?”
“It is the prince who is making absurd remarks.”
“I?”
“How long has it been since you became the official successor?”
“It’s been a year.”
“The people 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 right?”
“Let’s say yes.”
“Then do you have any proof that they were not involved in the bloody death 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 attacked me like they were crazy because they wanted to kill me?”
With each word, the cold demonic energy deepened.
Soon, Extreme Soma started laughing like a crazy person. It was his laugh when he was really angry.
“Sir, as a joke, I said I would wipe them all out and be locked up for ten years, but I might have to stay 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 conspiracy.
“But I have no intention of biting the Baekgye Sangdan.”
“Okay. “Then let’s add one condition.”
“What are the conditions?”
“Soma and I will help you find out who is behind 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. Isn’t Soma the kind of person who will go back just because you tell him to?”
Extreme Soma helped me and said something.
“I’m the kind of person who would stay if I had to go.”
I smiled slightly and continued.
“As you can see, he is like that. So we will help. “If they drag Soma in, we can’t stand it either.”
“Are you confident that you can find out who’s behind it?”
“It may be impossible to completely reveal them after years of hiding, but I will find a clear clue to reveal them. “If I give you that clue, will you 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 you 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 is it?
-You’re obsessed with Bob and my mask again. I don’t like it.
I laughed out loud and he didn’t laugh.
Eventually, the meeting ended with Bisain exchanging notes.
“great. I accept it. Instead, I will step down when you give me a clue.”
“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 my sword.
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 ill feelings toward the next successor. Because a really trash guy is going to 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 what if we all survive?
Then there is meaning.
It’s better for you to survive.
Because your scarred face will be more helpful to Moorim than the handsome face of the trash that was being ignored.
“See you later then.”
“Let’s do that.”
So we left Baekgye Sangdan without shedding a single drop of blood.
On the carriage ride back, Extreme Soma asked me.
“It was boring, right?”
“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. Although it was a habitual smile, I felt a little different.
“How did you know he would accept?”
“Your life and your position as Lord of the Apostles are at stake. “I thought you would accept any conditions.”
“Are you confident 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 even louder.
“My boring world is getting fun.”
“It wasn’t boring from the beginning. “Murim 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 job.”
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. And that while making up for all past losses.
I added another emotion to his admiration.
“I don’t care whether the successor to the Sado-maeng will live or die. “The only thing I’m interested in is Soma’s world. It’s about seeing that 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 towards somewhere else in his world again.
