It’s the 265th mine, so what if I kill some people?
The sword dance took its place again at the head of the table.
When Yeo So-gwang tried to sit next to him, Geommu-geuk made Yak-ran sit in his place.
Even though he was pushed out of his original position, Yeo So-gwang was not upset at all. Instead, he was impressed by Geommu-geuk.
With so many people watching, he ran into the room carrying a woman? And he sat her down next to him so openly? It was something he could never have imagined.
Anyway, everything was going as he had intended.
‘It’s all over.’
With such a unique and spontaneous person, perhaps he could seize the opportunity to advance to the main stage this time. With such anticipation, Yeo So-gwang tried to boil the sword dance drama down to better words.
“Look at the expression on the dancer’s face. She is completely absorbed in happiness. How could a woman not be captivated by the manliness of our little sect leader?”
Yeo So-gwang’s gaze turned to Yak-ran.
Her expression was different than usual. She had always been afraid when she saw herself, but now she looked confident for some reason.
‘You stupid bitch, you think you’ve won the cult leader just because you slept with her once.’
She doesn’t know that her lifeline is shortened because she got entangled with the cult leader. Later, when the cult leader sorted out his relationship, he couldn’t just leave her alone. Even if it wasn’t the cult leader, one of those guards would take care of it.
At that time, Geommugeuk asked Yeo So-gwang.
“What does our female leader hate the most?”
Yeo So-gwang racked his brain to figure out why the cult leader was asking such a question.
But I couldn’t guess his intentions. Although it seemed obvious, the leader of the cult had an unpredictable side.
“I am…….”
Things I dislike? Of course there are. I dislike anything that hinders my advancement. I dislike anything that hinders my ability to make money. I dislike it even more when someone sees through my duplicity.
Because there were things that could not be said together.
“I hate those political bastards who are trying to destroy our church. I hate their hypocrisy.”
“As expected! We have a leader, so we feel secure. Now, in that spirit, have a drink with me.”
“thank you.”
Geommugeuk poured Yeo So-gwang a drink and asked her in a suggestive tone.
“Hey, Mrs. Danju, have you made a lot of money?”
Yeo So-gwang flinched inwardly, but soon groaned.
“How nice it would be if that were true. As you can see, I have more than one or two subordinates. They have no connection with money, so they all leak out as soon as they come in.”
“Hey, Mrs. Yeo, stop joking around and lend me some money.”
Suddenly asking to borrow money? Is it a bribe? Or a drinking joke?
I tried to figure out his true intentions, but I just couldn’t figure out the true intentions of this cult leader.
Yeo So-gwang smiled and took out the pouch from her bosom.
“Our leader needs money, so we have to spend some money even if it’s pocket money.”
He opened the envelope and said.
“I have eighty nyang. I’ll lend you this.”
The swordsman accepted the money and then shook his head.
“This isn’t enough.”
Do you really want a bribe?
Yeo So-kwang had been bribing his way up to this position by offering many bribes. He could roughly calculate how much the other person wanted just by looking at what they said, and even without them saying anything, he could roughly calculate how much he had to give.
But the leader of the cult wants a bribe? And in such a public place?
Because it was something that went beyond common sense, no matter how hard I tried to figure out their intentions, I couldn’t figure out their true intentions.
‘Okay, then let’s go somewhere.’
Yeo So-gwang smiled and got up from his seat.
“Please wait a moment.”
Yeo So-gwang left the main hall.
Yakran, who was sitting next to him, looked at Geommugeuk with a puzzled expression, but he didn’t give her any explanation.
The escorts exchanged glances with each other, but no one could guess what Geommugeuk was thinking.
After a while, Yeo So-gwang came carrying a small box.
“Here it is.”
This was the conclusion that Yeo So-kwang came to after returning. It was the same with running while carrying the medicine. It was the same with this current situation.
‘The young sect leader is enjoying the attention of those around him. He seems to like to stand out even more than I thought.’
What would a small religious leader be afraid of? Look, I openly accept bribes like this. I think it’s cool.
‘You foolish cult leader. This is leaving a weakness. If it becomes a problem later, are you going to kill and exterminate all these people?’
Geommugeuk looked inside the box.
“Oh, you’ve saved a lot of money.”
“I’m giving you all the money I saved.”
Geommugeuk closed the box and spoke again.
“Hey, Mrs. Dan.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Please give me more.”
For a moment, Yeo So-kwang’s expression became frowned. However, he quickly put on his original good-natured smile. If it’s talent, it’s talent to be able to make one’s expression this hard.
“Didn’t I tell you that that was all I had saved?”
“I think you have some assets saved separately.”
“doesn’t exist.”
At that very moment when Yeo So-kwang was smiling and waving his hands.
“You made money by joining hands with the leader of the Cheonhwamun sect, right?”
Yeo So-gwang was startled by Geommu-geuk’s words. He was so surprised that he almost blurted out, ‘How did you know that?’
Of course, the worn-out Yeo So-kwang responded without showing any sign of surprise.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Why are you doing this between us? I understand. If you’re going to take care of your subordinates on a low salary, you need to earn extra income. Don’t you?”
The amount of money obtained from the Cheonhwamun case was too large for that to be true. Furthermore, more than twenty people were killed to keep the secret. It was something that absolutely should not be revealed.
‘How much do you know about what you’re talking about?’
Yeo So-kwang was caught off guard for a moment.
“I think there is a misunderstanding. I have certainly interacted with the Heavenly Flower Gate, but it was to handle Jidan’s business.”
There was a fake ledger set up just in case something like this happened. It was a ledger that made it look like the money that came in was used for Zidane.
Then, Geommu-geuk motioned for him to come closer. Yeo So-gwang brought his face closer, feeling nervous inside. He was afraid that a fist would fly at him at any moment.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen. But something more frightening than a fist came flying.
“Then how much did you receive from Soyabangju?”
“!”
“Don’t you remember? Then do you remember the money you received from the head of the Seo Chang-mun branch?”
In addition to these, several other names were listed one after another.
Yakran, who was listening, was inwardly surprised. These were the names that she had written down. When she was given the paper, she seemed to have just glanced at it, but she had memorized it all accurately.
Yeo So-kwang’s eyes shook. He was a man who rarely panicked, but this time, his composure was broken.
‘What? How on earth did you notice?’
No, that wasn’t the point. It was how to get out of this situation.
“Our female leader’s expression is stiff. It was always nice to see her smiling.”
Yeo So-kwang forced a smile. It was a situation where he had to use his wits, but with so many names coming up, he had a hard time figuring out what to say. The biggest crisis of his life had suddenly come upon him.
“Now I understand. What our female leader hates the most is giving away her own money. Right?”
The gaze of Yeo So-gwang, who had lost his way, turned to Yak-ran, who was sitting next to Geommu-geuk.
At that moment, Yeo So-gwang met Yak-ran’s eyes. The moment he saw her confident gaze.
‘Damn! That f*cking bitch is all blown up!’
Having done as I was told for so long, I never dreamed that something like this would happen.
“Did that dancer say anything bad about me?”
“Why are you suddenly saying that? Does the head of the household have any connection with this woman?”
In that moment, Yeo So-gwang realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. He should have stopped her immediately. In particular, he absolutely must not get involved with Yak-ran.
But that wasn’t the end of what was squeezing him.
“Where is the symbol of Honam Jeilpyoguk?”
Yeo So-gwang’s eyes darkened. The cult leader knew all about his corruption.
“It’s a conspiracy. Someone is plotting to bring me down!”
“Who is it?”
Yeo So-gwang’s gaze turned to Yak-ran again.
“Is this the work of a dancer?”
I couldn’t answer that way. Then all the previous incidents where I had entertained her would be revealed, and the bigger problem was that I had introduced such a woman to the cult leader. It would be better to become a corrupt person to have a higher chance of survival.
‘I already knew. You came to catch me. So what?’
Yeo So-gwang knelt down on the spot and bowed his head.
The music that had been resonating there stopped, and everyone held their breath. The sight of Yeo So-gwang, who had wielded absolute power in Honam, kneeling down was so unfamiliar.
“Please be lenient and forgive me. I was momentarily blinded and greedy.”
I just hoped that the improvisational side of the small group and that unique personality would come to fruition. I hoped that he would laugh heartily and say, “That’s nothing.” Isn’t he the one who wants to stand out from others? Please! Stand out while forgiving me! Show off!
But at the moment when it should have been exciting, the sword dance became calm and cold.
“Where is the money I saved up?”
“… … is on the battlefield.”
“Not that. Not the money you saved up to show off in preparation for the Hwangcheon Pavilion audit. The money you saved up like crazy.”
Yeo So-gwang didn’t say anything. No, he couldn’t. In order to survive, he had to give money right away, but what kind of money was that?
Geommu-geuk beckoned to the yellow flag standing in the distance.
Huang Piao ran over with a tense expression on his face and knelt down next to Yeo So-gwang.
“Do you know where I hid the money?”
The sword dance gave him a life-affirming blast. Then, all of Huang Leopard’s hairs stood on end. He felt blood flowing down his entire body. The chills of the real possibility of death came over him.
“To be honest, I won’t spare you.”
Huang Biao’s heart pounded. He had always thought that he could die for Yeo So Guang. However, when the situation of actual death came, he was scared. Was he really so good to him that he would die in his place?
The sword dance accurately read the wavering heart.
“You must have watched your master amass a great fortune. What did he give you?”
He gave me crumbs. And he did it with all kinds of color.
Huang Biao looked at Yeo So Guang, who was kneeling beside him. Looking at him, who was unusually haggard, Huang Biao could tell that his loyalty was only valid when Yeo So Guang held the power over his life and death.
“… … The property was hidden in a temple called Yanghosa.”
The sword dance sent a message to the enemy.
―Send a message to Tongcheon-gak right now and have them all recovered!
-all right.
Huang Leopard pleaded earnestly.
“I confessed honestly, so please spare my life!”
At that very moment!
Phew!
Yeo So-gwang pulled out his sword and cut off his head. The blood spurted out and sprayed all over Yeo So-gwang’s body and face.
Yeo So-gwang wiped the blood off his face. Regret came before resentment toward Hwang Pyo. I shouldn’t have trusted him. I shouldn’t have trusted him until the end. This guy, that girl. I should have gotten rid of them after a few years and bought new ones.
Yeo So-gwang spat on Hwang Pyo’s corpse and spoke coldly.
“Who do you think you are, a retard? Do you think you can live with someone saying things like that?”
His always smiling expression changed as if he had taken off his mask. This was his real face. He didn’t know his mask could come off so easily.
It’s because of that strange cult leader.
“Little Leader, you never intended to let Iza live in the first place, did you?”
“You’ve probably spent your whole life flattering others and only caring about what they think, so are you trying to read other people’s minds until the very end?”
The sword Yeo So-gwang was holding trembled. He spoke with a sigh.
“It’s so unfair. I’ve never been able to spend the money I’ve saved my whole life.”
“You’re addicted to making money. You should have seen people and the world while spending money. You only saw money.”
Yeo So-kwang thought that maybe that was the case. He felt greater joy when he earned money than when he spent it.
“I am…….”
I wanted to say something in rebuttal, but I couldn’t find the words. I was known for being good at talking, but I couldn’t think of anything in front of that damned cult leader. The life I had built up for so long would just fall apart in an instant? Is that really true? It really felt like a dream.
Yeo So-gwang shouted in anger.
“That could be true! It’s mine, so why don’t you kill some of those lowly guys?”
It’s something I wouldn’t have said originally. It’s something only lower-class people would say.
If Geommugeuk had just responded with, “Yes, I’m a mine too. What if I kill someone like you?”, it wouldn’t have been this miserable. Geommugeuk just looked at him with indifferent eyes.
Yeo So-kwang shouted as if he was going crazy.
“Eww!”
Just as Yakran couldn’t handle him, he couldn’t handle Geommu-geuk either.
Yeo So-gwang flew. His sword, which had been flying as if it was going to kill Geommu-geuk, changed direction. The direction the sword was headed was the heart of Yak-ran. He blamed her for all of this.
Phew!
There was a sound of flesh being torn and a sword being stabbed.
Yeo So-gwang’s black magic sword stopped in front of his weak heart. Instead, the black magic sword of Geommu-geuk was embedded in his heart.
Geommugeuk said to Yakran.
“The ghost that tormented you has now disappeared from this world.”
As he drew his sword, Yeo So-gwang fell backwards and died.
“Let go of the ghosts in your mind now.”
Yakran could understand why Geommugeuk was saying this. It meant that she shouldn’t spend the rest of her life suffering from the wounds she received because of Yeo So-gwang.
She looked at Yeo So-gwang’s body, took a deep breath, and said.
“I will dance.”
She was waiting for this moment.
Then Geommugeuk said.
“Don’t dance here, dance later on stage. You should dance on stage, not in a place like this where dirty blood flows.”
“But you promised, right?”
Yakran could tell from the clear and deep eyes of Geommugeuk that he was silently looking at her. That Geommugeuk had made that promise to tell her this.
“There’s no need to vent. You’re not worth it. You can dance your best on your own stage.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Why are you being so kind to me, someone so insignificant?”
The sword dance stood before her.
“It is because the Cheonma Shingyo did you wrong.”
The swordsman looked at her and spoke politely.
“I will apologize on your behalf. I am sorry.”
Tears that had been held back flowed from Yakran’s eyes. The leader of the Demonic Cult was apologizing. Towards the insignificant lives that could be lost at the snap of a finger. How could he linger over past wounds in such a situation?
She bowed deeply to the swordsman.
“I will never forget this favor. Please come see my dance someday.”
The dancers and musicians there also bowed their heads.
Jeokyeon, who was watching the scene, could feel it. The magic of the sword dance that had been in the food prepared by Samho’s mother had been in that woman’s dance today.
And now, it seemed as if they could see just a little bit. What they had to protect. The pain in their eyes that had been so severe that they were about to burst out was less painful.
