Episode 201: Except for the occasional crazy guy.
“Please save me!”
The three immortals raised up the young man who was kneeling and begging.
“This makes me feel so uncomfortable.”
“How can I pay you back if you suddenly ask me to pay you back?”
Samseon sighed.
“I can’t help it, it’s an order from above. You know that, people like us have no choice but to do as we’re told.”
“But I can’t sell my house. If I don’t have a house, where will I take care of my parents?”
This young man’s weakness was filial piety. Samseon continued to exploit that weakness.
“I have to invite my relatives to their house.”
“Which relative would welcome all the old people?”
Samseon sighed.
“That’s why I told you not to borrow any more money?”
The young man also sighed.
“I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
The dream of a young man who went abroad to study martial arts and returned to his hometown was to become a military officer in his hometown. As he was working hard to somehow earn money and achieve his dream, Samseon approached him, offering to lend him some fresh vegetables.
Of course, the young man was skeptical at first.
But there was nothing wrong with the loan certificate. Besides, Samseon was so kind. He really treated me like his own older brother.
He didn’t even pressure me to borrow money until the end. He even advised me to borrow money at a later time because it would be difficult to have a lot of debt at a young age.
Then, when he tried to lend the fresh vegetables to someone else, the young man became anxious. He ended up borrowing money that day.
He bought an old manor and started construction to remodel it into a military base. But then an accident occurred where workers got hurt. The construction was delayed and he had to borrow more money to pay for the workers’ medical expenses. After that, materials were stolen. So he had to borrow more money.
Still, I tried to open a store and run it diligently to repay the debt. But this time, the store that was already built caught fire.
The young man felt as if the sky was falling. Then, as if things were not bad enough, Samseon came and demanded that he pay back the money. He was told to sell the house where his parents lived.
“I’ll do anything, but I absolutely cannot sell the house!”
“What are you doing? Are you planning to commit murder? Stop talking nonsense like that.”
“sorry.”
“I will try to explain the situation to the government somehow, so discuss it with me.”
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
“Then see you later.”
A smile appeared on Samseon’s thin lips as she turned around to leave the young man.
‘It’s almost time now.’
All it takes is one crime and you’re done. The moment you take that first step, you can use him for the rest of his life. Especially if he’s kind, innocent, and filial to his parents, like this young man, it’s like eating him for free.
Passion, dreams, hope, youth, family… … .
These bright and warm things were the bait that led the youth to hell. Push forward with passion! You have to dream while you are young. Have hope! You are young! Think of your family! How can hot-blooded young people avoid this?
Samseon got on the carriage that was waiting with a cold smile.
He asked the horse mackerel’s subordinate.
“What’s next?”
“I am a new borrower.”
“What are you doing?”
“He is the son of the head of the Jeonggwonmun (正拳門) school.”
It was a sect I had heard of before.
You may wonder why a child from such a prestigious sect would want to borrow money, but in my experience, those who really need to borrow money don’t, and those who don’t need it do.
Samseon leaned his head against the carriage. These days, he was really busy and didn’t have time to breathe.
The Dark World was run by four sworn brothers who committed all sorts of evil deeds. When they started this business, they abandoned their names and became Ilseon (一仙), Yiseon (二仙), Samseon (三仙), and Saseon (四仙).
Ilseon, who first created the Dark World, was a very clever and ruthless man. He had no sympathy for others since birth.
He suddenly came up with a large sum of money and proposed this project. He didn’t tell me where he got the money. There must have been someone else who provided this huge amount of money.
In any case, one thing was certain: if those ruthless frontliners set their minds to making money, they would make a lot of money.
To maintain secrecy, the number of subordinates was kept to a minimum and work was strictly divided.
The Sasaeng led the elite drones and moved only when force was needed. If the Sasaeng was the fist, the Yiseon was the foot. The Yiseon was in charge of finding those who would become victims.
The front line decided where to use these prey. They made them do all sorts of things. They made them do everything from assault and murder to stealing the secrets of their relatives and acquaintances. And when it seemed like the secrets would be leaked, they would fake suicide and kill them.
If there was a first line that was the head, there was also a third line that served as the mouth.
If you endure a little bit, you would be able to get a better life.
“We have arrived.”
The meeting place was a guest house.
The man pointed to the young man sitting in the corner and said.
“I am the author.”
Samseon walked towards him and Suha waited a little way away.
Samseon greeted the young man warmly as they sat together.
“I’m sorry. Did I keep you waiting long?”
“It’s okay.”
The young man answered softly. Usually, young men who came to borrow money were tense and stiff. But this young man gave off a dark and gloomy vibe rather than being tense.
“What is your name?”
“This is Jeong Yang.”
The person who introduced himself as Jeong Yang was none other than Geommugeuk.
“I heard you are the successor to the throne?”
The Jeonggyemun sect actually existed not far from here. The youngest member there was Jeongyang.
Of course, this sect was a sect of the Cheonmasingyo managed by Tongcheon-gak. If someone actually went to investigate, they would find out that there was a son who looked like Geommugeuk.
Just like the Seodo faction that was used in the last martial arts league tournament, the Soryongjeon, the Jeonggwonmun was a disguised faction created to prepare for such a situation.

“Why would someone like that need money?”
Samseon asked as if he was floating.
Instead of answering, Geommugeuk asked.
“I heard you can lend it to me without charging interest.”
“That’s right, fresh vegetables don’t charge interest.”
Geommugeuk raised his head and looked at Samseon. Geommugeuk was giving off a gloomy vibe, different from his usual appearance.
He could have acted like he was an arrogant person, or he could have acted like he belonged to a very prestigious family. However, this is what Go-wol demanded of his opponents.
“How much can you lend me?”
“How much do you need?”
“One hundred thousand nyang.”
Samseon was shocked. It was the first time he had ever been asked to borrow a hundred thousand nyang at once.
“Where are you going to spend that much money?”
Geommugeuk lowered his head and said nothing.
“Listen. It’s up to you to decide where to spend the borrowed money, but a hundred thousand nyang is a lot of money. Shouldn’t you know where to spend it?”
Samseon thought to himself.
‘This doesn’t feel good?’
That was when I decided that I shouldn’t lend it out.
As if he couldn’t control his anger, Geommugeuk suddenly threw his fist to the floor from where he was sitting.
The floor of the guest room dented even though I didn’t hit it directly.
Samseon was surprised. What was even more surprising was that he didn’t make a sound, so much so that he didn’t notice it from the person next to him. His aerodynamics were profound for his age.
“Okay. Let’s pretend this never happened.”
As if he had come out for no reason, Geommugeuk tried to leave, but Samseon stopped him.
“Wait a minute! Why are you being so hasty?”
Even at this moment, Geommugeuk acted as if he was contemplating whether he should borrow it or not.
“Okay, first, sit down.”
It was because of his skills that Samseon was able to capture Geommugeuk.
‘The one the front line is looking for!’
The front line was looking for a master to use in a big case. An order was even given to capture a master at all costs.
“Okay, I’ll lend you the money. How you spend it is your own business, so I won’t ask any more questions.”
A hint of joy crossed Geommugeuk’s face.
“You’re not even going to say thank you for lending me this much money?”
Then the sword dance was heard faintly.
“Where in the world is there such a thing as a free lunch? You’ll probably get something back from me later for lending me money.”
He glared at Samseon with eyes that said that the sword dance could not fool him.
Samseon had never met anyone who gave him this kind of feeling. He was a guy who made people feel uncomfortable, but also strangely attractive. He seemed like he would cause a big accident, which meant he was someone who would make them a lot of money.
“Okay! Use the loan receipt.”
Geommugeuk looked over the loan certificate here and there.
“It really is as I heard, there is no repayment date.”
“If you wanted to make money, you would have invested at the top. We are investing in your youth.”
At the word youth, Geommugeuk laughed and continued to examine the loan certificate.
“If I soak this in water, won’t the contents of the loan certificate change or something?”
“If you’re that suspicious, go ahead and check.”
The sword dance really tried splashing water and even bringing a lantern to heat it up, but there was no change in the loan certificate.
This time, Samseon snorted inwardly.
‘You’re very suspicious.’
So isn’t it difficult to use? No. Suspicious people tend to be easy to use. Once they overcome their doubts, they tend to show a confident faith. If you decide to deceive them, the other person’s personality doesn’t matter at all.
Geommu-geuk, who had been looking at the loan certificate for a long time, nodded.
“If you give me money, I’ll take a picture of you.”
At the order of the three lines, a subordinate driving a carriage came to find the receipt. After receiving the money, Geommu-geuk left his seal on the loan receipt.
“Then let’s meet again.”
As the swordsman who had taken the money left without looking back, Samseon gave an order to his subordinate.
“Let go of the surveillance team and see where he’s spending his money.”
“All right.”
After the two people left the inn, they got into a carriage and left the place.
Geommu-geuk and Gowol watched the two people leave from the alley of the building across the street.
“Well done.”
The Geommu Theater was as dark and gloomy as possible, just as Go-wol had instructed.
“You did a good job of checking the loan certificate.”
The decision to sprinkle water and apply heat was a spontaneous decision by the sword master. It was based on the judgment that an opponent who approached with some evil intention would not make such a fuss about checking the loan certificate.
“Sir, wouldn’t it be better to capture that guy and torture him so he’ll tell you where the others are?”
Go-wol shook his head at Geommu-geuk’s question.
“The guy who planned this is a smart guy. If you mess with him, he’ll cut off his tail and disappear.”
“So what do we do now?”
“Buy one thing with the one hundred thousand nyang you borrowed.”
“What kind of thing?”
“Gowol said with a smile that he already had everything planned out.
“It’s something that will surprise them.”
* * *
Three days later, the subordinate returned and reported to Samseon.
“Jeong Yang went to the local black market with 100,000 nyang and bought poison.”
The dark merchants, also known as shadow merchants, were merchants who sold dark weapons, weapons, and poisons that were banned by the Murim Alliance.
“You bought poison? What kind of poison?”
“I bought the intangible poison.”
Samseon was surprised. The intangible poison was very expensive and not easily obtainable.
“Can you live on a hundred thousand nyang?”
“It looks like you bought only enough to use once.”
“Who the hell are you trying to kill?”
Samseon was embarrassed by his subordinate’s answer that he didn’t know that much. He had lent money to various places in the past, but he had never bought anything intangible. That must have been the uneasy feeling he had that day.
“I have a bad feeling about this.”
I didn’t intend to do that, but it was possible to use that invisible poison on myself.
“How on earth did you deal with the dark side?”
“There is a competent information agent in this area. It seems that a line has been reached through him.”
“Damn it! Tell him to meet again.”
“yes.”
Samseon sighed. He really enjoyed this job. The pleasure of gently seducing the other person and leading him to ruin was greater than sleeping with a woman. Furthermore, even as he was dying, the other person relied only on Samseon.
Samseon thought there was nothing more destructive and peripheral fun than this, except for the occasional crazy guy like this.
The next day, Samseon met Geommugeuk again.
“Why did you ask to see me?”
Knowing that he had bought poison, the sword dance seemed even more gloomy and dark.
“I have something to ask you.”
“What?”
“Where did you use the hundred thousand nyang you lent me?”
The swordsman frowned.
“Didn’t we decide not to ask that?”
“That’s right. But there was a strange rumor going around. Someone said that he bought the Intangible Poison for a hundred thousand nyang.”
For a moment, Geommu-geuk flinched. It was a reaction that didn’t need to be questioned because it was obvious.
“No, I am not.”
“Then show me the money. Or tell me where you spent it.”
The sword dance was silent.
Samseon spoke in a soothing tone.
“The moment you buy it, we’re in the same boat. If you cause trouble with that poison, we’re in trouble too. So tell me. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll help.”
“You can’t help it.”
“Who on earth are you trying to kill? If you use the Invisible Poison, the Murim Alliance will come to investigate. That means things will get worse. If you’re going to kill someone, you might as well hire an assassin… … .”
At that time, an unimaginable name came out.
“Is there a way to kill Kwonma?”
“!”
Samseon was really surprised. He was so surprised that he wondered if he had ever been this surprised recently.
“You’re not talking about the Demonic Cult’s magic horse, are you?”
“Why not? That bastard is going to be torn to pieces.”
Samseon forgot what he was going to say for a moment. He felt like he had been mistaken.
‘Ah! This guy is crazy. He’s really crazy.’
If things go wrong with the Demonic Cult, we will all die.
“Why do you want to kill Kwonma?”
“Kwonma touched my woman.”
“Why did Kwon Ma have to touch your woman?”
Geommugeuk hesitated to answer for a moment, but then revealed the family secret as if he was going to take the plunge anyway.
“Our government belongs to the Demonic Cult. It’s the place that Kwonma was in charge of.”
Samseon almost screamed. He was already entangled with the Demonic Cult. How could this crazy guy reveal such an important secret like this? But there was a reason why his eyes rolled back.
“Sometimes, a certain Kwon-ma would come and go to our house and see my fiancée and r**e her. Damn it! My father knew about it but told me to endure it.”
The sword dance showed its anger with blazing eyes that showed it would not hesitate to fight through water or fire.
“I will kill Kwonma.”
Samseondo had the same determination. He quickly sent a message to his subordinates who were behind him.
-Contact the gods. We need to get rid of this crazy guy and get out of here quickly.
