The 105th is not easy.
“I don’t know where you are, but I know where I am. It feels so empty without anyone here.”
Jangho sympathized with Seodaeryong’s regret.
“There is a big empty space.”
They were now on their way to the Pungryu tavern in Magachon.
Jang-ho was a large man, and Seo-dae-ryong was small, so the two men had such contrasting appearances that people passing by would sometimes glance at them.
“I never thought I would miss this unmanned person more than you, my lord.”
We used to drink together as a threesome, including Ian, but last time we drank together as a twosome. It was definitely less fun than when we drank together as a threesome.
Ian and Seo Dae-ryong had been leading the mood with all kinds of small talk, but with her gone and only the reserved Jang-ho left, the mood was bound to become dull.
Of course, there were some good points. Instead of giving up fun, seriousness took its place, and it became an opportunity to get to know each other. Because this was the first time I learned that Jang-ho’s childhood dream was to become a painter.
“I hope this unmanned person is doing well?”
Jangho was convinced by Seo Daeryong’s question.
“Of course I’m sure he’s doing well. Who went with you? Don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried. I’m just having a stomachache. I’m sure all sorts of unimaginable situations are unfolding in front of this unmanned person. I’m jealous. I want to be there and play with this unmanned person!”
“Don’t forget that there is also an evil Soma next to this unmanned area.”
“Come to think of it… … I think it would be better to have Lord Jang by my side.”
Jang-ho snickered. Seo Dae-ryong thought that Jang-ho’s manly smile alone was enough to make this drinking party worthwhile. He wanted to be like Jang-ho when it came to smiles.
While chatting about this and that, the two arrived at the Pungryu tavern.
It was when they were about to go inside.
The owner, Jo Chun-bae, came out and pretended to be quiet.
“You can’t go in now.”
“why?”
“The Amazons are here.”
“Who is it?”
Seo Dae-ryong poked his head in slightly and looked around this floor of the tavern.
At the place where they were drinking, their masters, Hyeolcheon Doma and Mabul, were sitting across from each other, drinking.
The surprised Seo Dae-ryong quickly retreated.
“We’ll drink somewhere else today.”
“Yes, please do.”
After sending the two men away, Jo Chun-bae came into the tavern.
He looked up at this floor. Even from a distance, he could feel the strange tension flowing between the Bloodthirsty Demon and the Demon Buddha.
“Why did you ask to see me?”
Ma-Bul did not answer Hyeon-Cheon-Do-Ma’s question.
It wasn’t like his usual self. Instead of his sharp temper, he felt a strange tiredness. Mabul drank his alcohol alone.
“It’s not like you and I can’t have a drink together, right?”
“Senior? You keep badmouthing me and calling me a traitor, so what are you doing?”
“Because a traitor is a traitor.”
“Aren’t you a traitor now? You came to me, leaving the Archduke behind.”
“Senior, you’ve always acted like you know everything. That’s why you ignored me so badly.”
The corners of Hyeolcheon Doma’s mouth curled up. But instead of saying a word, he emptied his drink. It was like that until just a little while ago. He felt sorry for Mabul. How could such a small man be so greedy?
But this arrogance changed when he met Geommugeuk.
“It’s not easy, is it?”
Ma-bul raised his head at Hyeolcheon Doma’s words. He tried to figure out what his intentions were, but Hyeolcheon Doma just filled his glass with alcohol.
Mabul blurted out those words without realizing it, as it didn’t seem like they were meant to mock him.
“… … It’s not easy.”
Ma-bul regretted what he said. He had given Blood Heavenly Demon an excuse to make mocking remarks. As expected, Blood Heavenly Demon had been offended.
“I’ve been living my life thinking I’m the Archduke’s right-hand man, but I’m not. I’m just a fish that’s been kept in captivity. I guess I’m just a golden carp.”
“Is it hard for you to have a drink with your juniors and feel good? Isn’t that narrow-minded and twisted mind of yours that doesn’t even allow that?”
“You should have done well in the past. And if you’re my senior, I’ll call you my senior until the end. If you’re me, I’ll call you from the beginning.”
“It’s bullshit till the end!”
Bam!
Ma-bul slammed the table. The table shattered and everything on it fell to the floor.
“Don’t break it next time. We’re the kind of people who don’t break tables.”
“What are you talking about? Are you crazy?”
Mabul left the place nervously.
‘shit!’
When you break the table, you’ve already lost. Why did you come to the Bloodthirsty Horse to see a good sight?
She hated that he had revealed her troubled feelings to her. She was angry at the thought that he would ignore her even more in the future.
‘Yeah, you twisted old man, ignore me as you please.’
After watching his back as he left the tavern, Hyeolcheon Doma also got up from his seat.
However, there was no trace of the contempt or mockery that Mabul had expected from him. Instead, the sigh that Mabul had let out earlier flowed from him as well.
“Yeah, it’s not easy.”
As Hyeolcheon Doma left the tavern, he gave money to Jo Chun-bae. He added the cost of the broken table to the cost of the drinks.
“it’s okay.”
When Hyeolcheon Doma glared at him, he quickly took the money.
“Don’t tell the story about the table being broken to the engineer.”
“Yes? Yes! Of course, don’t worry.”
So the Bloodthirsty Demon left that place.

Jo Chun-bae looked at his back for a moment and then went up to clean up the broken table.
Even without the scholar, people were coming. Not long ago, Ilhwageomjon came alone and left. He ordered alcohol, but didn’t drink a single glass.
Jo Chun-bae knows.
The reason they come to his bar is not because the alcohol tastes good, the food is delicious, or the atmosphere is good. They are all missing someone.

As I was sitting on a cart parked in an empty lot and looking up at the sky, I saw Bisain and the seven apostles and thirteen others walking towards me from afar.
They also decided on the meeting place this time.
An open space with no walls. You could tell they were worried about an ambush.
I understood him. If you keep being threatened with your life, you’ll be on edge. Yes, you have to be careful. Even if you were careful, he still died in the end.
Visain looked puzzled when he saw me coming alone.
“Did you come alone?”
“exactly.”
The evil Soma left this task entirely to me. Ian came with the promise to follow him.
Visain’s expression hardened slightly.
It seems that his pride has been hurt. Although he is not yet the official successor, he is still the blood relative of Cheonma, and his opponent is walking around alone like this. On the other hand, he is walking around with seven of the Thirteen Apostles, so it is only natural that he would think he is a coward.
I want to tell him that all that pride is useless. It’s a shame to hurt your pride. It’s all because you’re young.
“You’ve already found the clue, right?”
“exactly.”
Although he had expected it, Visain couldn’t hide his surprise at the answer that it was true.
“How did you find it so quickly?”
He asked with a suspicious look.
“I didn’t find it, they came to me.”
I opened the tarp covering the cart. There were five corpses in the cart.
“There was an ambush just as the secret agent warned.”
I didn’t say that they were after Cheonhwaruju. Whether they knew about Cheonhwaru’s existence or not, I judged it not to be something that needed to be said on purpose.
“These are the bloodthirsty spirits of Baekyaegok.”
“How did you find out?”
“Don’t underestimate our school’s information power. We know enough about you.”
The visage of the visage was distorted. He only frowned slightly, but his expression was distorted as if he was angry. The scars on his face were too deep and ugly.
“Baekyagok has taken on this commission. If you find them, you will be able to find out who is behind it. It is up to you to decide what method to use to get Baekyagokju to tell you who the person behind the commission is. What do you think? Isn’t this enough of a clue as promised?”
Visain didn’t respond for a moment. He wanted to say that it wasn’t enough, but would I allow it?
“Could it be that what you wanted was to find the mastermind and bring me his head?”
“You don’t need to provoke me like that. This is enough. As of today, the Baekgye Sangdan will withdraw from Guizhou. I will also calculate the losses for the past two years and send them to you.”
“As expected, you are the successor to the Apostolic Alliance! Well, let’s meet again next time.”
Just as I was about to turn around, I heard the sound of a visa sign.
-Scholar with a degree in engineering.
But that was the end of the transmission. As if I had misheard, as if the next words were a ghostly sound carried by the wind, they were not conveyed.
Visain was about to tell me something secretly, but then changed his mind.
I stared at the visage. I didn’t see his wounds. I only saw his eyes.
He looked much more vicious and strong than he really was because of the scars on his face, but to my eyes, I saw a young man struggling to survive.
Speak, Visan. Whatever it is, speak to change your destiny.
But Visain turned around without saying anything. The Sado Shibthirteen Rang followed him, pulling a cart.
After watching his back for a while, I also left the place.
* * *
When I came back, the evil soma was walking around the yard of Cheonhwaru. He looked calm, but I could feel that he was still angry and was trying to calm down.
I walked along with the evil Soma.
“Baekgyesangdan has decided to withdraw from Guizhou. They have also agreed to compensate for the losses suffered over the past two years.”
“The engineer took care of something that had been bothering me for two years in a few days.”
“You only accepted our offer because you were afraid of Soma.”
“There is no need to be humble. Thank you, Mr. Lee.”
The evil Soma, who had expressed his gratitude, stopped walking.
“Whoever gave the order to kill Cheonhwaruju will be killed by my own hands. Even if it means being locked up for a few more years.”
The evil Soma looked at me. I could tell what I was thinking by the look in his eyes.
“Of course you should kill me. I tried to kill the person I love, so of course I should kill him with my own hands. I will kill him too.”
The eyes of the evil soma shone brightly, perhaps because of the unexpected answer.
“Don’t you want to go back to school? Then I can avoid responsibility for the accident I caused?”
“I was so absorbed in observing Soma-sama’s world that I even forgot why I was here.”
“Shall we go back?”
“No, Lord Soma, show me more of the world, show me more, and kill that bastard behind it before you go back.”
I’ve been knocking on his door endlessly. I don’t want the door to open wide like I want it to on the Bloodthirsty Horse.
I just hope it’s half-open, so we can face each other at that point where we’re neither friends nor enemies.
I know who you are. You died regretting your life. An empty life filled with evil.
Are you the same now as you were then?
“Lee Gongja, there is nothing more to see in my world. This is all there is to it. Now I have to go and meet the people who manage the gambling house, and I have to meet the leaders of the black bandits who are attached to us. Lee Gongja has decorated my world as if it were something grand, but my world is ultimately about scaring people and taking bribes. Then I cut off the arms of those who embezzle the money, and I kill those I don’t like.”
You have changed. You have never been this honest in your life before your regression.
The person I met before I returned was old, and old again, a person who could no longer change.
How could I be your friend?
Maybe I was the same as you back then?
My life and I, frozen like a fossil with only the obsession to obtain Dafa materials, perhaps you felt a kinship with me and liked me that much.
“There is only one way to keep the world of the evil Soma from becoming trivial.”
“What is that?”
“Only when there is war. The world is a sea of blood, and Soma-sama is flying in the sky. I don’t want to see that kind of world. I still want to see this kind of world. How Soma-sama deals with the casino managers, how he deals with the black-do guys.”
A passion I had never seen before flashed through the eyes of the evil soma and then disappeared.
I walked a few steps ahead, then turned to look at him and said.
“Okay, let’s go. Let’s cut off the arms of those guys who are stealing money.”
