The 209th leader has no intention of losing the bet.
The person my father wanted was the Poison King.
The expressions of the demon lords hardened slightly at the mention of the Poison King and they looked at each other. Blood Heavenly Demon sighed so that only I could hear it. That meant that this task would not be easy.
Indeed, it seemed as if the father was certain that the Poison King would never come forward, as the demons had reacted.
“Can you do it?”
“I will try.”
The look in my father’s eyes as he looked at me was provocative.
Do you think you can do this? If you can do this, I will admit it.
Father’s gaze turned to the demons.
It was a gaze that held no emotion, but I sensed a subtle difference in that indifferent gaze.
The way he looked at Kwonma was different from the way he looked at Hyeolcheondoma, and the way he looked at the evil Soma was also different.
If you knew how much you respected your father, how nice it would be if you gave Ilhwageomjon just a little bit of a warm gaze.
The last place his gaze lingered was Chwima. Chwima accepted his father’s gaze with a calmer gaze than ever before.
After exchanging glances with the demons like that, my father turned around and walked towards the Cheonma Hall.
I and the Amazons bowed our heads to show respect.
What is my father thinking right now? Will there ever come a day when I can sit down with him and hear him tell me frankly about how he felt and what he thought at that time?
When my father left, I bowed my head to the demons and said hello.
“thank you.”
Ilhwageomjon said with an embarrassed face.
“There’s no need to say hello to me. I was dragged here by the drunkard.”
“That helped a lot too.”
“What do you mean?”
“If all five of you had pushed, my father, who is also a human being, would have been very angry. However, thanks to the buffering effect of Brother Chwima and Senior Geomjon, his heart may have softened.”
The horse was whining for no reason.
“I’m screwed. Getting drunk in front of the leader!”
Then, Ilhwageomjon snatched the bottle of wine hanging from his waist and drank it all down.
“I was the one who said too many useless things in front of the leader.”
The drunkard took the bottle of alcohol and drank it.
“It’s because of this loser friend.”
“Okay, I know.”
I interrupted the conversation between the two people.
“No, you gathered here because of me, so it’s because of me.”
I bowed my head respectfully to the Amazons once again.
“I will repay you for what I did today. You have no idea how much I depend on you five. Thank you very much. Since we’re all here today, I’d like to say just one thing… … Oh, wait a minute! I’ll make it short. I’m not a talkative person. Let’s all get together and devise a plan to subdue the Poisonous King… … .”
The five Amazons had already left in their respective five directions without looking back.
“You guys are going too far!”
Since I don’t have five bodies, I flew after one of them.
* * *
Of the five demons, the one I chased after was Blood Heavenly Demon.
He was upset for no reason even though I was chasing him.
“Why aren’t you chasing after the evil Soma?”
“For me, seniors are always the best.”
“Isn’t the best for you the worst?”
Bloodthirsty Horseman relayed exactly what had happened earlier.
“Just now, the evil Soma put everything on the line. The leader, me, and the demon lord. I didn’t know he would go that far.”
I didn’t know that the evil Soma would be this strong. Lord Soma, I received your response properly.
“I should have been there.”
“That’s why it’s even more amazing. That he did it without you. If you don’t truly love someone, you can’t do that.”
The blood clot at this moment is also amazing. I could have been secretly jealous of my relationship with the evil soma, but he was telling me everything as it was. I was saying, “It was amazing, it was amazing.” How could I not like this person?
“When on earth did we become so close?”
“I don’t know either. We just happened to become friends.”
“Friend? How big is the age gap? Are you still friends?”
That’s right. I’m much older than you. I’ve lived longer than you.
“Isn’t there such a thing as friendship that transcends age?”
“I am thirsty for that great friendship. Bring me some tea.”
I took the teapot from the table next to the bed and poured some for Hyeolcheondoma. My heart ached as I looked at his still skinny arms.
“Are you eating well these days?”
“Why are you suddenly talking about food?”
“Your health is the most important thing to me. What’s important about the Poison King and what’s important about that little permission?”
“Saying things that are not in your heart.”
Still, Hyeolcheondoma drank his tea with a faint smile, perhaps in a good mood.
“Did you go to your father first today?”
“It’s because I have a hasty temper. Don’t put any importance on the fact that I went first.”
“It will mean something. The elder who ran first for me!”
“Yeah, honestly, I was trying to show off by being the first one to go, but I got completely defeated by the masked man today.”
It seems that the masked man has moved Hyeolcheondoma’s heart today.
“But it seems like everyone’s efforts were in vain.”
He sighed when the story of the Poison King was brought up. The other demons seemed to have similar thoughts.

“Is it that hard to attract that person?”
“It would have been easier if you had just said, ‘Bring all the Palmazons.’ If you had held a meeting of the Palmazons and pushed for political cooperation, it could have been handled that way. However, by pointing out the Poison King and telling him to bring him, you prevented that from happening in advance. The leader is actually quite smart.”
“Do you know anything about the Poison King?”
“I don’t know him personally. I just think he’s someone who has his own world firmly established, has a strong sense of pride, and is obsessed with poison. That’s all I know about him.”
The worry of the Bloodthirsty Demon was not in such a personality aspect, but right here.
“Can you still be yourself in the face of the poison of the Poison King?”
Can I be me in front of the poison of the poison king?
I could tell what he was worried about. There was a fundamental fear of poison. He might die without even being able to fight properly, so along with the dead Sub-Hon-Ma-Jon, Poison King was the Ma-Jon that the martial artists were most afraid to face.
“No matter how good you are at talking and flattering, can you really be bold in front of a poisonous king? He’s the kind of person who could poison you without you noticing and make you sick and die in a few years.”
In fact, he may be the most blunt. As long as the poison doesn’t work, at least he’s the weakest character among the Palmazons to me.
Rather, that’s what worries me.
The moment you touch his pride, it will be impossible to bring him before his father forever.
When I returned to the original school to get Dafa materials before the return, the Poison King had already died and the next Poison King was in the Demon Lord’s seat.
I know how he died. I know how many people he took with him when he died.
While I was lost in thought for a moment, Hyeolcheondoma looked at me intently.
“Do you have a method in mind?”
“Yes. I must somehow learn the secret of making the Poison King take my side.”
“If I use the method inside me, I will end up distancing myself from even my close friends.”
Then, the blood claws stared at me intently.
“If I had to give you some advice, it would be to do what you do best.”
“What is that?”
“The cult leader called it a cheap sentiment that was perfect for death.”
When I heard that, I burst out laughing. I was surprised that my father and Hyeolcheon Doma had such a conversation. The fact that he said that to someone else was proof that my father and I had become one step closer.
“Do it like you did to me and the other Amazons.”
Look straight at the other person and say what you have to say without hesitation.
I treated people with these two beliefs. I don’t know if they would work on the Poisonous King.
“Okay, sir.”
Bloodthirsty Demon took something out of his bosom and handed it to me. It was the highest-grade poison liquor I had given him as a birthday present.
“Take this too. I washed it thoroughly, so don’t say it’s dirty.”
I looked down at the blood poison bottle for a moment in silence. This is the heart of the blood clot. This heart keeps shaking my heart these days.
I took two poison pills out of my bosom and put them on my cheeks.
“I’ll take it in my mouth like a squirrel! Keep it with you and if I get attacked by the Poison King, come and save me.”
“No problem! I will never go back to that dirty poison pit again.”
I won’t do that, because I know you’ll be the first to come running.
“Take a rest. I’ll be going now.”
“Don’t overwork yourself. Right now it seems like a grand undertaking that will determine your fate… … but in the end, it’s all nothing special.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
When I left the Bloodthirsty Horse’s residence, it was already dark.
When everyone is watching me and watching which path I will take, there are times when the pressure to do well weighs me down.
There is always someone who comes to mind at such times. Forgetting the Poison King and my father’s permission, I slowly moved forward, following the instinct to find peace.

Ian was asking the time for effort today as well.
The maturity created by her hard work was felt in the sword techniques she displayed.
Chook.
The black energy split in two in front of her chest. Although she was still lacking in internal energy to split it further, she succeeded in using the Yoocheon style accurately.
Shhh. Shhh!
Two swords flew through the air and struck my face on either side. Her sword on the left, and the sword-shaped sword on the right.
She, who had been so absorbed in her training that she didn’t even notice me coming, is now throwing me tantrums.
“Now you can send me to the Central Plains with peace of mind. Get off now, Ian. Don’t go around killing too many people.”
“No, my lord. I will stick close to you and live comfortably like this for the rest of my life. Ah! But now that comfort is over.”
“Congratulations.”
“Did you hear? Senior Cheongmyeon has finally entered the Gwiyeongdae Iljojang.”
Her voice trembled. Aside from what had to do with me, this would be the biggest event in her life. The successor to the next evil Soma had become the leader of the organization she was the head of.
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m shaking.”
“The most important thing is to trust you. People know like ghosts. Oh, that guy doesn’t have the confidence to lead us. He’s screwed. We’re going to end up dying.”
Ian sighed.
“I trust myself. I’m just worried about whether my abilities will keep up.”
“If you don’t trust yourself, trust your tail.”
Then Ian raised his head and smiled.
“That’s somewhat believable.”
“Get together and discuss things, and start forming an organization in earnest. There’s only one principle. Create the best elite organization in our school. Look at both skills and character. It’s not about creating a group of butchers with only skills, but an elite organization that can be trusted. Fill it with people like Jang Ho and Inspector Seo. Understand?”
“yes!”
“From now on, the ability to judge people is more important than your appetite. That’s what will save you.”
As the head of an organization, Ian’s life begins now.
I talked about this and that with her. I felt at ease being with her. The moon, which had seemed gloomy until I arrived, was shining warmly on the world outside the window.
When I broke up with her, I didn’t forget the last joke. I endured all the side effects and became pretty with difficulty, but since I’m only meeting her and practicing, I should say something to her.
“I thought you were the most beautiful in the world, but I guess you weren’t.”
For a moment, Ian became nervous about what she meant.
“You’ve become prettier since you left school. If you’re the most beautiful person in the world, you shouldn’t become prettier, right?”
I left her there, her face reddening. Ian, you slept well tonight.

The next day, I stopped by Ma-ui on my way to meet the Poison King.
He had no patients and was at his leisure, so he looked surprised.
“I see you a lot these days, Lee Gongja.”
“When I see Mr. Eui-seon saving people, I feel good for some reason.”
How could the devil not know that you came here on business?
“You never know when another patient might show up, so tell me what’s wrong.”
“I have something to ask you, sir.”
“Tell me.”
“Have you ever had any contact with the Poison King?”
I pretended not to know, but I knew that the only person the Poison King interacted with was Ma-ui. That was one of the few pieces of information I knew about the Poison King.
“One of you saves people, and the other kills people with poison. I think that since opposites attract, maybe the two of you will become friends.”
“Why the Poison King?”
“I have something to ask of my father, but he has set a condition: I have to persuade the Poison King and bring it to him.”
The magician shook his head.
“Then the leader has no intention of losing that bet.”
Ma Yi also didn’t think that the Poison King would be persuaded by me.
“I know you are a great person, Lee Gongja. But it won’t be easy for you to become the Poison King.”
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
Ma-ui was silent for a moment. He must have been contemplating how much he should talk about between his friendship with the Poison King and his relationship with me.
“I’ve met many poisoners throughout my life, but I’ve never seen anyone as sincere to poison as the poison king. He has such strong pride. He believes that the only person he can’t kill with his poison is the leader.”
That was also the reason why he couldn’t reveal his invincibility without caution. The moment he touched his pride and self-esteem, things would go wrong.
“Just wait a moment.”
The magician stepped away for a moment and brought a small vial.
“This is the best antidote I have. I can’t say for sure that it will cure all of the Poison King’s poison, but it will help.”
I gave the cancellation back to him.
“Please use this medicine for other useful purposes.”
“But why?”
“The Poison King would only use poison on me if he were risking his life to plot a rebellion. At that time, he would use poison that no remedy would be able to cure.”
“You are right.”
The magician nodded.
“Then I will come see you again.”
The reason I came to see the magician was because he was the person who would be most helpful in persuading the Poison King in the future.
‘There will be work for you to do in the future. And it will not be for me, but for your sake as well.’
As I was getting up from my seat and about to leave, the magician spoke for the last time.
“Do you know what the Poison King’s dream is? It is to compile all the poisons in the world and leave them in a book. Even at this moment, he is quietly researching poisons alone. The key is to get him out of the laboratory. He is a person who has no interest in the world.”
The Poison King lied to the only person he interacted with. His dream is not to collect all the poison in the world.
He is a person who dreams of becoming the world’s most poisonous person who will bring the martial arts world to its knees with his own poison.
After leaving the hospital, I walked to the southwest of the school. There was the Cheondokrim (Cheondokrim) where the Poison King lived.
