Thunderstorm (3)
This time I coldly refused.
[I don’t like it either.]
[You don’t like it?]
[I don’t want to tell you.]
[why?]
[They say they will never teach you? I’m not going to teach you anyway, so why bother hurting your mouth?]
[Yes, but… … It’s okay to ask what kind of magic you want to learn, right? Our relationship is like that, right?]
[I don’t think that’s enough?]
[f*ck it! I don’t ask because it’s dirty. Anyone who sees it will think that I am trying to learn.]
Now, how long will that momentum last? Each day? Half a day?
Less than half an angle later, the Heavenly Demon quietly asked.
[What are you doing?]
[As you can see, it just stays there.]
[I’m bored. Should we have a conversation?]
[I hope you are not bored.]
Cheonma continued speaking, pretending not to hear.
[What did you ask earlier? I asked if you could teach me magic, right? What kind of magic do you want to learn?]
The Cheonma asked slyly as if nothing had happened.
When I didn’t respond, he started pestering me in earnest.
[What? What kind of magic craft do you want to learn?]
I didn’t even pretend to hear. Slowly, Cheonma started to feel feverish.
There was a series of swear words and threats starting with ‘You bastard.’ But I stubbornly pretended not to hear.
[Please tell me!]
Finally, the word ‘please’ came out. I felt like there wasn’t much left left.
[They say it’s okay if you don’t learn it. It’s not a big deal, so you don’t have to worry about it.]
These were words that would inflame him even more.
In the end, the fish that had been fluttering around alone with the bait in its mouth flew up powerfully and came into the landing net. Of course, myself.
[Got it! I’ll teach you! I will teach you!]
[You really teach me?]
[Yes, I am teaching you because I am dirty.]
[Do you promise on the honor of the Heavenly Demon?]
[Why do I risk my honor for something like this?]
[Don’t hate it.]
[shit!]
In the end, the Heavenly Demon raised both hands.
[shit! Damn it! Walk, hang. I teach you on the honor of my position. You bastard! What kind of magic craft do you want to learn? Instead, you can’t do the Blood Lightning Fireworks! Of course, the Blood and Lightning Act doesn’t work either!]
[of course. Do you really want me to tell you about your German martial arts skills? I am not such a shameless person.]
[What kind of magic craft do you want to learn? Is it a death sword method? Well, sometimes using a sword instead of a sword can change your mood. Because it’s fun to tear things apart roughly. Or Heukryuamwangtan (黑流暗王彈)? This has happened to you too. Do you remember?
After I raised the black ink, I fired 33 bullets, right? You bastard, how did you avoid that? Be sure to tell me later. Or should I teach you some fighting techniques? If it’s the Seven Fists of Soul Destruction, I’ll crush all the people in your political faction who use their fists.
You can pay it? Look at you, you’re so weak, do you think there’s one or two things you need to learn?]
For some reason, I mentioned a name to Cheonma, who was talking excitedly.
[Demon God Gyeol (魔神訣).]
For a moment, silence fell into my chatty mind.
[You crazy bastard.]
He spoke softly and fell silent. I didn’t say anything because I expected that reaction.

The manor was noisy.
The front and back yards, as well as each room in the building, were filled with guests.
A meeting of merchants from the Hubei region was held here today. More than a hundred merchants gathered around twenty large and small merchants in Hubei.
There were drinking parties all over the manor, and everyone was gathered in small groups and chatting. A deal that had been put off was concluded, and a private conversation with an unexpected person took place.
A short, white-haired old man entered the noisy place, escorted by another old man.
The merchants who recognized him greeted him politely.
“Lord of the castle! long time no see!”
“nice to see you. Lord Hoe!”
“It’s an honor to meet you!”
People rushed to greet the old man.
He was none other than Seongwangbo, the head of the Central Merchants Association and the owner of the upper part of the continent. He hosted the Golden Banquet and was also the person who went to see the old man in the cave the other day.
Seongwangbo entered the building, exchanging greetings with the merchants.
Every room was full of merchants sitting and drinking.
Seongwangbo went around the room and briefly exchanged greetings.
Everyone stood up, waved their arms around each other, and expressed their respect. Some people even shed tears of joy. So many people respected him and were happy to meet him.
He wandered from room to room, but this time he entered the room at the end of the hallway.
Here too, about a dozen merchants were sitting around a large round table, drinking and laughing.
Seongwangbo closed the door and sat down. The guard guard stood guard in front of the door.
He sat down at the round table.
“long time no see.”

Surprisingly, Seongwangbo took the initiative to politely greet them.
Then the eyes of the dozen people there changed. From just merchants who had laughed and chatted before, they had changed into members of a secret organization.
“How have you been?”
Everyone waved their arms and greeted Seongwangbo. There was none of the respect or joy shown earlier. They seemed to be on an equal footing with Seongwangbo, who could be seen as the representative of the central commercial world.
After saying hello, Seongwangbo’s eyes turned to the man in front of him.
Seongwangbo looked at him and spoke politely as if reporting.
“He asked for help.”
The other person was a handsome, thick man, and he was the head of this group, a dark merchant. He was over sixty years old, but on the outside he looked like he was in his forties.
The target of darkness was elected through voting once every five years, and he had been at the head for twenty years. He was so capable that he was reappointed four times.
“That’s right.”
As he kept losing his subordinates, he recently sent Seongwangbo to warn him. Nevertheless, let alone self-respect, he directly asked for help. He wasn’t really a person who listened to them well.
Sheng Wangbo spoke calmly.
“It looks like the opponent is formidable.”
Then the plump man sitting next to the dark object opened his mouth.
“All enemies in the world are powerful.”
The quick speaking tone was frivolous, but the small but sharp eyes above his thick cheeks clearly showed that he was not ordinary.
In fact, not only that, but all the merchants there were not ordinary people.
They were not widely known or at the top of the business world. They were either small merchants or ordinary merchants with a few stores.
However, they were people who had amassed enormous wealth through hidden secrets. In short, they could be seen as the owners of the underground commercial world.
The dark target asked again.
“What kind of help do you want from us?”
“I am asking you to kill the person imprisoned in the Murimmaeng Prison.”
“Can’t you handle that much on your own?”
Seongwangbo didn’t say anything up to that point, as if it wasn’t his responsibility.
The plump man spoke again.
“I think it’s because of what happened when I sent down the Holy Secretariat some time ago. “Don’t you mean to stop nagging and just give me money?”
At those words, some men chuckled, while others made displeased expressions. Reactions were different, but everyone agreed with what he said.
It was a moment that would have shocked anyone else. This is because Seongwangbo, who represents the central commercial world, was called a general.
“Isn’t it time to change the sword?” … .”
The fleshy man trailed off his words and looked at the dark target’s eyes.
Seongwangbo was sitting calmly, but inside he was nervous. This decision will completely change the future landscape.
The dark object asked Seongwangbo.
“What do you think?”
“He is not a sword we can easily throw away just because we want to. “Don’t you know?”
“I know. That’s why I chose him. But isn’t that why you can’t keep carrying a useless knife?”
“Knives tend to become dull as you use them. Think of this as an opportunity to sharpen it on a whetstone, and give it a push. “Considering the money he has earned so far, I think you should give him more chances.”
According to Seongwangbo’s words, the dark subject’s worries did not last long.
“I will follow your judgment.”
It was a remark that subtly shifted responsibility to the other person, but Seongwangbo had guessed that he would come out like this.
But you can’t cut yourself if you fail this time. Many money problems are complexly intertwined, and there are some that cannot be solved unless you are yourself.
Instead, they will show all kinds of condescension for not reprimanding themselves.
“Send the ghosts away.”
“thank you.”
Seongwangbo got up and left the room.
The heavy-bodied man who was looking at the back spoke softly.
“When you change a knife, you also change the scabbard.”
The intention was to replace even Seongwangbo. I don’t like Seongwangbo, who takes the old man’s side.
Everyone nodded slightly and looked at the dark object.
Everyone was nervous about the old man’s repeated failures recently. Because failure did not end in failure. He was spending enormous amounts of money to continue interrupted research, recruit experts, and rebuild the organization.
What if you join hands with an old man to make money, but the money just keeps running out?
They were targets of darkness who worked harder to secure their own benefit than anyone else. That is why it has been in this position for twenty years.
However, the object of darkness did not reveal its true intentions. He raised his glass high.
“Now, have a drink.”
Those who were watching all raised their glasses.
Soon the place became as noisy as any other room.

[Where on earth did you hear the term demon spirit?]
Cheonma’s voice contained a different tension than usual. It was different from just being angry.
But I treated him as usual.
[It’s not that big of a secret, is it? If you don’t want to teach, just say no.]
When I treated him as indifferently as usual, he returned to his usual self.
[You crazy bastard! Are you saying you know what demon spirit is?]
[Okay, so I’m asking you to teach me.]
Drinking alcohol.
There is a legend that comes down from the Hyeolcheonsingyo religion.
However, the previous Heavenly Demons of the Blood Heavenly God Church were unable to solve the mystery of the demon spirit.
Because it was a legend, I couldn’t tell if it was real or fake. Even the previous Heavenly Demon said that there were people who said it was a fake.
Since I have lived as a Murim lord for a long time, I have heard about Demon God Gyeol.
However, I didn’t know whether it was an unofficial message, some other message, or some kind of problem that needed to be solved.
Only the Heavenly Demon will know the contents. It was known that the Demon God’s Gyeol was only passed down from Heavenly Demon to Heavenly Demon in the Blood Heavenly God Church.
Judging from his reactions so far, he clearly believed in the legend told by the Demon God. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have reacted so seriously.
[Because people like you are meant to break promises. I understand.]
[what are you talking about?]
[You made a promise on the honor of the Heavenly Demon, right? Let me know.]
[You bastard! That’s it!]
[I decided to tell you everything except the Blood Lightning Technique and the Blood Lightning Technique.]
[This is an exception!]
[stop. I understand.]
[Damn it!]
After being silent for a while, the Heavenly Demon spoke again.
[Telling you is of no use to you. You can’t solve the secrets that even I, who was born and raised at this school, couldn’t solve.]
I didn’t reply anything.
[You are useless!]
[I get it. In fact, I admit that this trap is unfair.]
[what?]
[It’s unfair to ask to know the devil’s fate. I admit it too.]
[What trick are you trying to pull again?]
[I didn’t think you would tell me that from the beginning. I was just curious as to whether demon spirits really existed. Now that I have confirmed that it is definitely there, my curiosity has been resolved.]
[shit. I feel like I was hit.]
To be honest, I was curious about what Masingyeol was about. However, this was not something that could be found out through any trickery. It may seem like a fool, but Cheonma is not an easy person.
However, this thought occurred to me earlier when the Heavenly Demon said that it was a secret that even I, who was born and raised in the Demonic Cult, could not solve.
Maybe that’s why the secret couldn’t be solved?
What the Heavenly Demon said to me.
You are stuck in a rut.
Perhaps the same is true for him in this regard?
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
[Please tell me another magic attack.]
There was a magic craft I originally wanted to learn.
[what kind of thing?]
[I want to see you in person.]
[what?]
The Heavenly Demon was surprised.
[This means that I want to meet and talk face to face, not just hear voices in my heart.]
