Episode 100: Kangho never sleeps.
The carriage continued to run towards somewhere.
I was curious. Where would the evil Soma go first?
I know about the big incident that happened after he left school this time, but I don’t know the details like where he went first or who he met.
There must have been someone who had irritated him in the past two years. Is he going to kill that person?
Or should we rent an entire kiln and throw a wild banquet?
Maybe I’ll kill someone and go to Kiru.
Then the evil Soma suddenly asked.
“Why did that escort become a heart?”
He’s the type of person who wouldn’t ask questions about a simple escort, but I was interested because he’s someone I like.
“My escort was alive, so I took his heart.”
“Then is the scholar dead now?”
I looked at him intently and asked.
“Are we alive?”
I added with a smile to the extremely evil Soma who was momentarily at a loss as to what to say.
“It’s pretty too.”
“You have really unique tastes.”
“In my eyes, you are the prettiest.”
“Before we return to school, I think we should raise our standards for women in science and engineering.”
“Maybe I can show you.”
I wish Seo Dae-ryong was here.
Inspector Seo, did you ever imagine that you’d be talking about the evil Soma and the womanizer? This is what the future holds.
At that moment, Cheongmyeon’s voice was heard from the stable.
“I’ll have a meal in the village and go.”
From the first day of our trip, we ate our meals separately.
They did it in other guest houses, and the evil Soma even ate in a separate room.
Today, Ian and I were naturally finishing our meal together and leaving the inn when we saw some black bastards harassing merchants at the end of the street.
I just turned around and pretended not to see him and walked towards the carriage when someone spoke from behind me.
“You just pretend not to see me and leave.”
It was the evil Soma who had just finished eating at the inn across the street.
“Was it really just a show of justice to become the successor?”
I laughed at his mockery and said,
“I’m a bit pretentious.”
“I really like it. This is how a person should be. It’s a headache to pretend to be nice.”
We looked at each other and laughed.
As he walked towards the carriage, the evil Soma asked.
“Why does the scholar hate evil so much?”
“I just pretended I didn’t see the evil and passed by.”
“If I mess with one or two guys and leave, they’ll end up getting revenge on me, so aren’t they just going to leave?”
He read my mind exactly. If I wanted to touch it, I had to uproot it completely. I didn’t have the luxury of doing that right now.
“This trip is about seeing Soma’s world.”
“It makes me sad that those kinds of people are my world.”
“You misunderstand.”
“Then let’s resolve the misunderstanding.”
He gave Cheongmyeon an order with his eyes. Then Cheongmyeon strode towards the Heukdo guys.
As you heard our conversation earlier, I will clean up even the heads of these people. Of course, a new black market will appear soon after.
When I motioned for Ian to come with me, she moved quickly.
“I will go with you too.”
Ian followed behind Cheongmyeon.
The evil Soma flew up and sat on the roof of the carriage.
“It would be perfect to look around here.”
I also flew next to him and sat down next to him.
“Did you have a good meal?”
“I ate roughly.”
“It seems like you don’t eat well while traveling.”
“I don’t have any pleasure in eating.”
“Is it because of the mask?”
A slightly unpleasant expression crossed his face. The story of the mask always made him cringe. But I brought up the story of the mask without hesitation.
To remove that, we must pull the mask of myth down to reality.
“I never liked eating to begin with.”
“It must be because of the mask. If you take it off, I will treat you to a wonderful meal.”
The evil Soma tilted his head for the first time. He read this emotion in the look in his eye sockets.
What the hell are you? What is it about you that makes me so annoyed?
Then a scream was heard from afar.
Our gaze naturally turned to Ian and Cheongmyeon in the distance.
The two men were leading the way after beating up the black bastards savagely and dragging them somewhere.
Looking at that sight, the evil Soma said.
“Didn’t the scientist say before? The only time evil is cool is when it overcomes other evil. What do you think? Do I look cool now?”

“It’s awesome.”
“But why don’t I feel good?”
“I guess it’s because it feels like my flesh is being torn off.”
Even my joke made the evil soma laugh. He asked the same question again.
“Why do you hate evil so much?”
Since you asked twice, I guess you should answer something. I said to him after a moment.
“There are people who push the people in front of them off the cliff while walking. If you want to go first, you can just walk faster and pass them by. You don’t tell them to help someone who has fallen down because they are tired. You can just go your own way, so why are you pushing them? When I see people like that, I want to push them too. That’s why I’m going to push them all away.”
“Then I would like to push too.”
The two eyes in the sockets are shining coldly.
Soma, how many people have you pushed into misery in your life?
I smiled and said to him.
“So, if possible, don’t walk in front of me.”
“Then I have to stand behind the engineer?”
“Then let’s walk side by side. I don’t think it’s bad to walk with the tension that we could push each other at any time.”
This is exactly the kind of relationship I want with him.
The evil Soma laughed loudly.
“Okay. If you are a science major, you can be a good companion.”
After a while, Ian and Cheongmyeon, who had finished cleaning up, returned to the carriage with the faint scent of blood.
Ian’s eyes trembled slightly as he looked up at us, who were standing side by side on the carriage roof. No matter how much he trusted me, it would not be easy to completely shake off the fear of the evil Soma.
The carriage set off again.
After running for several days, the carriage finally arrived at a farm.
A man was waiting in the yard.
I put on the white mask I had on my waist and followed the evil Soma down. I could reveal my face while observing the situation.
“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”
The evil Soma nodded with a cold gaze.
I remembered who the man was.
Linhu, the refusal of Guizhou.
Originally, this area of Guizhou was under the jurisdiction of the evil Soma.
Palmajons were in charge of each region and were responsible for business, intervening in or directly managing all sorts of interests such as Sangdan, Pyo-guk, Cheol-bang, Giru, and Taverns. Even Hyeoncheon Do-ma, who seemed to be leisurely reading a book, had a region he was responsible for.
Imho was the head of the Dahu Merchants Group, which represented Guizhou, and was an active supporter of the evil Soma.
“You seem to have lost some weight.”
Imho bowed at the blunt words.
“I’ve lost some weight recently. Thank you so much for noticing.”
The evil Soma patted his shoulder once as if to encourage him.
“thank you.”
Imho felt both afraid and ashamed.
Then Ian sent me a message.
– Did you see the person tapping you on the shoulder just now? It wasn’t a slap or a cracking of the shoulder. I thought it was someone else.
―If the evil Soma was just a crazy demon like the rumors say, he wouldn’t have even been a member of Palmazone. Take a good look at how the evil Soma treats and handles people. Whether it’s something to learn from or a lesson to learn from, it will definitely be helpful to you as you run the Guiyeongdae in the future.
-Yes, your highness.
There are many faces behind that mask. Some of them are faces I’ve seen before, and some of them are new faces that I’ve seen in the present.
Imho asked the evil Soma.
“Would you like to start with dinner?”
“Okay. Let’s look at the short stories first.”
“Yes, then come this way.”
Imho didn’t ask me anything about me.
Since they got off the carriage together, you might have guessed that they weren’t ordinary people, but you didn’t dare ask them to introduce themselves. Just by looking at that, you could tell how much Imho was afraid of the evil Soma.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that Imho is a cowardly or fearful person. He is the one who runs the upper class by joining hands with the Demonic Cult. He may be the worst Soma among the merchants.
Imho guided us to the main hall.
Inside, there were about twenty people waiting, all of whom were people who ran large and small merchant companies in Guizhou.
When the evil Soma entered, they all knelt down and bowed down.
“I meet the great Amazon.”
The most evil Soma sat at the head of the table.
Then, one of the supreme leaders who had been lying down got up and went in front of the evil soma.
He politely presented the ledger he had brought to the evil Soma. It seemed to be a ritual he always performed whenever Soma visited.
The evil Soma slowly flipped through the ledger.
Ian, who had been watching the scene, sent a message again.
-I didn’t know that the evil Soma would look at the ledger.
-I don’t know how to see.
-yes?
―The person standing behind you is the one who tells you the story through voice. He is the smartest and most intelligent person in the Ak-In-Gok. That’s why he is your right-hand man.
-Oh, I see.
The evil soma not only asked about the ledger, but also knew the personal history of the upper class. He apologized for not being able to attend his son’s wedding and mourned the bereaved family.
―So Cheongmyeon tells you all about these things.
-No, this is because the evil Soma remembers everything he has seen.
―Really? You remember all that and say something like that? Are you an extremely evil soma?
There was one thing I realized in my past life.
That real villains are meticulous.
It’s not a generalization, but the great villains I’ve encountered were meticulous. They had good observation skills and good memories.
On the other hand, the great heroes of the political faction I met were not meticulous. They were easily forgetful. They considered it a natural carelessness that comes from valuing the cause, but I thought that I had already been pushed back by the evildoers there. A cause that is like a cloud cannot win over the meticulousness that counts on one’s fingers.
Meanwhile, the evil Soma finished brief interviews with each of the upper class lords.
The upper class was moved that, although they were afraid of the evil Soma, he remembered and mentioned their daily lives.
―This brief meeting that we had every year will keep those people from moving for ten or twenty years. The evil Soma smiled and asked about the well-being of his family, so how could he dare betray them?
-That’s scary.
-Yeah, that’s what’s scary about it.
After greeting the heads of state, Im Ho stepped forward as the representative and reported.
“As you can see, our income has decreased significantly over the past two years. The reason is the Baekgye Merchants Association.”
The newly established Baekgye Sangdan in Guizhou grew faster than any other Sangdan. Behind it all was the active support of the Apostolic Alliance.
The beginning of this incident was the incident where the evil Soma massacred the Apostolic Alliance’s unmanned people.
The Cheonmasingyo did not officially apologize or compensate the Sado Alliance for this incident. Instead, they appeased the Sado Alliance by banning the evil Soma.
But the Apostolic Alliance felt that this was not enough.
As a form of retribution, the Apostle Alliance created the Baekgye Sangdan in the area of the evil Soma and was stealing his income as if it were nothing.
As the extremely evil Soma who was being punished by the Heavenly Demon was unable to fight, he could only watch them expand their territory for the past two years. In the meantime, the discontent of the affiliated upper class continued to grow.
It seemed that the problem with the Baekgyesangdan was already well known, and the evil Soma did not mention it separately.
“Now that you can move on your own, don’t worry too much.”
Only then did the faces of the upper class members brighten and show joyful expressions.
With those words, the evil Soma ended the meeting. He knew better than anyone that such meetings were a target for enemies. The meeting was to be secret and short.
The evil soma who got on the carriage spoke to Cheongmyeon.
“I’m going to Baekgyesangdan.”
“yes!”
The carriage started to move.
I said to the evil Soma in a subtle way.
“You were kind to the superiors. I thought you were a kind Soma, not an evil Soma.”
“Aren’t they the ones who make me money? They could make me a lot more money if I just say a nice word to them. Why are you treating them so coldly?”
This is a comparison to the black bastards who used to steal money from merchants and run wild. These are the real villains. They are the ones who squeeze the other person while smiling, and thus continue to make them suffer in a good atmosphere.
“The name is wrong. It must be the Baekgye of Ilbalbaekgye. I plan to go to Baekgye Sangdan and show them why I was given the nickname of Extreme Evil.”
When I didn’t respond, he spoke again.
“Aren’t you worried? Do you think I won’t be able to kill them all? The ban was just lifted, so I won’t kill them all? Is that what you think?”
“No. I can sense that Soma-sama is very angry right now. The air in the carriage is already different.”
“But why don’t you stop me? If an accident happens at Baekgyesangdan, shouldn’t Lee Gong-ja take responsibility?”
“Soma-sama, please stop the carriage. Calm down and go somewhere else.”
“I don’t like it.”
“I knew this would happen. That’s why I was constantly worrying. How should I stop you?”
“You will have to think about it a lot.”
With those words, the evil Soma leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.
I let out a sigh as if to let him hear it, but my eyes looking outside the carriage were extremely calm. The night was deep, but Kang-ho was not asleep.
