Wolha Contest (1)
Leather bags were being carried on strong horses.
What was in the leather bag was a slip to be given to me. Their ability to mobilize funds was truly remarkable.
I don’t know if they had prepared it in advance, but less than half an hour after we shook hands, leather bags containing 35 million taels appeared in front of me. What was even more surprising was that the entire amount was a small amount note that could not be traced.
I stood side by side with Seongwangbo and watched the money being loaded onto the horse.
He told me the location of the cave where the old man I had to kill was hiding. Surprisingly, the cave was also located in Hubei, where the headquarters of the Murim League is located.
“Be careful. “Because he is a really strong person.”
“I know very well.”
“Are you confident you can beat him?”
When I saw the old man on the day of the Great Law, I decided that he was the same person as me. The difference between winning and losing is literally just a sheet of paper.
“I just hope your judgment in choosing me was right.”
“I will only trust you.”
“But I have one question.”
“Ask.”
“Why did you join hands with them? “I guess you were already rich enough?”
“That’s right. “He was very rich.”
The upper part of the continent he led had a very long history. King Seongbo was the heir there, so even if he had not joined hands with them, he would not have had to worry about money throughout his life.
“Have you been working with these people since your parents’ generation?”
“No. “I am the one who joined hands with them.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Well, why did you do that?”
He turned his back for a moment and thought about the past, then looked at me and said.
“You could compare it to Kang Ho-in. Let’s say you went to Bidong somewhere. There I found an old secret book with no title written on it. But you are a martial arts expert enough that you don’t need to learn new martial arts. Then he won’t open the secret?”
“no. “You must have opened it.”
It wasn’t a question of whether you were an expert or a poor player. It was a problem related to fundamental human curiosity. It would be natural to want to check what it is.
“Me too. “I opened the secret list and found a list of martial arts skills that were stronger than mine.”
In other words, it meant that he could not refuse their temptations and offers, and was now making more money.
Yes, there are temptations in the world that can be stopped by a mistake, and there are also temptations that you can never escape from once you step into them.
The devil’s temptations are always sweet. Of course, you have to pay a heavy price for sweetness.
“Do you regret it?”
“I don’t regret it.”
It was an answer without hesitation. Maybe that’s the first reason he should die by my hands. A life that does not regret things that should be regretted.
Meanwhile, the horse was fully loaded.
“Well, as you can see, I will give you the money I promised. But we also need to have some confidence.”
“What confidence?”
“What if I just take the money and you don’t get the job done? So I prepared this.”
He took out a small box from his pocket and held it out.
I accepted it.
“Open it.”
Next moment.
Grumbling.
The entire box burst into flames in the palm of my hand.
I burned it with samadhi fire without opening it.
Seongwangbo was startled and looked at me and my burning hand. There was a roaring fire burning in my hand, but I didn’t even blink.
“Even if it’s just a joke, if you try something like this again, I’ll kill you on the spot.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Just causing the evolution of samadhi and not even blinking even when fire was burning in his hands was truly a great feat of divine power.
Moreover, I burned what was inside without checking. Of course it would be harmful to me, but I could have identified what it was and burned it.
When we talked earlier, I said that I would also open the secretariat, but I expressed my will that I could not open it if I decided to do so.
Of course, right now, Seongwangbo is overwhelmed by my power and will not be able to think about the deep meaning.
When I blew air with my mouth, the fire went out and what was left burning on my palm flew into the air. The hand was fine as if nothing had happened. It was the power of my self-defense skills.
“If you want to take responsibility, look to Tokyo. “Because you will see in it the person responsible for making the wrong choice.”
I got on my horse and looked at him.
“Just one prank is enough, so don’t follow him around.”
“I understand.”
I spurred my horse and left there. Sheng Wangbo did not dare to follow him.

“You earned 35 million nyang?”
Gong Su-chan’s mouth opened wide. Gwangdu, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth even wider.
“Here, take it.”
Gong Su-chan, who stood blankly for a moment, laughed out loud.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
It was probably the most exhilarating and laugh-out-loud moment since I met him.
Gong Su-chan said to Gal Sa-ryang who was standing next to me.
“Did you hear? “You earned 35 million nyang in half a day and told me to take it with you as if I were throwing away some clothes?”
“Haha, I heard.”
“And no matter how much you trust someone, can you give away 35 million nyang so easily?”

“It looks like he wants to keep you by his side and never let you leave.”
“I think so.”
Gong Su-chan shook his head.
I said to Gwangdu.
“I don’t want you to be by my side either. “To escort the Commander-in-Chief.”
“yes.”
Gwangdu walked unsteadily with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“Thirty-five million, thirty-five million, thirty-five million… … .”
Gong Soo-chan supported him.
“Gwangmuin, would you like to ride the horse?”
“I’m so nervous I think I’m going to throw up.”
“Catch me. “I will protect you.”
“Thank you, Commander-in-Chief.”
Gal Sa-ryang and I laughed together as we watched the guest being defeated.
When the two people left, we sponsored them together.
“With that money, our power will instantly increase several times. “You did a great job.”
“When you finish the job, you will receive 35 million nyang again.”
“yes? “So you’re saying that amount is a down payment?”
“exactly.”
“oh my god.”
Gal Sa-ryang was astonished. He was a man who had made a lot of money while running the Murim Alliance, but the amount of 70 million nyang still seemed unbelievable.
“Who the hell are they?”
“It seems like he has been active in the dark and has raised an amount of money we could not even imagine.”
If you had saved money normally, there would be no reason to be angry. But how many people would they have deceived and killed to take control of the upper world of the dark world?
“I will destroy every last one of them.”
“You should.”
“Please discuss the use of the money with the head general. Please purchase elixirs and increase the strength of Baekdanju, Gwangdu, and important subordinates.”
“all right. “First of all, we will invest heavily in Black Panther and Taeseong Sword to increase its scale and make it elite.”
“Please do so.”
When it comes to war, we are sick of it. Several units are necessary, but the most important thing is a central elite organization.
When I went around the circle and returned to my starting position, I said the last thing.
“In my judgment, King Seongbo is nothing more than their lackey. “I will complete this task and approach the so-called dark target.”

The old man was standing alone on the cliff, looking up at the early evening moon.
“grandfather.”
When the old man turned around, Cheon So-seon was walking towards him.
“Soseon, why did you come out?”
The old man quickly approached Chen Shaoxian.
“I’m fine. “It’s frustrating to just lie down.”
“Are you okay?”
“yes. “I think moving a little bit is better for your body.”
The two stood side by side on the cliff.
“The moon is bright today.”
“I see.”
The two looked up at the moon for a moment, immersed in the atmosphere that can only be experienced here on the cliff.
“Soseon.”
“Yes, grandfather.”
“Do you blame me?”
The answer came without a moment’s hesitation.
“yes.”
The old man chuckled. Cheon So-seon followed suit and laughed.
“Why were you laughing?”
“Why did you laugh?”
“I laughed because I thought I was finally asking such an important question. “Why did you laugh, Grandpa?”
“I laughed because you spoke honestly.”
Cheon So-seon said.
“I resented my grandfather a lot. But now… … “I don’t resent it as much as I did back then.”
The old man had been running for a long time for only one purpose.
To achieve this, he personally conducted various tests, and as if that were not enough, he also mobilized his son for the tests. It was a test that only blood relatives could do.
Although he was used for several tests when he was young, my son was fine.
However, it was the grandson, Cheon So-seon, who caused the problem. Cheon So-seon was born with a disease that turned her into a woman. Her transformation occurred without delay.
Isn’t that good?
If I had experienced it as an adult, it might have been interesting and fun in some ways.
However, Cheon So-seon, who experienced this from a young age, suffered extreme confusion about her sexual identity and had to go through difficult times.
Fortunately, I am now able to control my transformation on my own. I had also overcome many of my childhood wounds.
“because? “Why has your resentment toward me diminished?”
“Because I came to understand my grandfather a little bit.”
The old man’s eyes trembled slightly, unable to hide his emotion. I was so grateful that Cheon So-seon told me her honest feelings. Yes, if you don’t say it, it won’t be conveyed.
It was then. A man without eyebrows came and reported.
“The Sungchonggwan has arrived.”
“Tonight?”
It was something that never happened before.
Cheon So-seon entered the cave with the man.
After a while, Seongwangbo appeared there.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, how have you been? “Elderly.”
“Thanks to you, I had a good time.”
Seongwangbo walked next to the old man. After exchanging a few words of greeting, Seongwangbo revealed the reason for his visit.
“It has been decided that 5 million nyang will be provided this time.”
“is it? “You managed to get it.”
“The ghosts’ failure is their mistake.”
“there?”
Instead of explaining the word “over there,” Seongwangbo said something strange.
“I’m thinking about my dreams.”
In other words, it was a hint that he was willing to betray.
Just when a smile was about to form on the old man’s lips, Seongwangbo spoke cautiously.
“I have one question for you.”
“Try it.”
“What do you plan to do next?”
The old man frowned slightly.
“Have you already forgotten?”
When I asked the same question before, the old man said: The right answer comes from the right question. The question is wrong.
That is why Seong Wangbo said twice that he would bring the right questions. There’s no way Seongwangbo could have forgotten that?
Seongwangbo said while looking at the old man’s face.
“Some questions have no right answer in the first place.”
At that moment, the old man’s brow twitched. Those were meaningful words. What if the question of what to do next is a question that has no right answer?
On the other hand, Seongwangbo’s attitude was the same as usual.
“Then I’ll just leave.”
The old man watched him go down the mountain.
* * *
I was preparing to fight alone.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to waste any more time knowing the location of the cave where the old man was.
I inspected the arm guards made of age-old iron and wore boxing gloves. In addition to the daggers made of age-old iron attached to the arm guards, I also brought separate daggers for throwing, as well as medicine for internal and external injuries.
Although he was damaged by the mysterious woman’s earthstorm last time, he also wore the Heilangdaeju’s breastplate that protects his heart.
[Huh, this is something I’ve seen a lot of times.]
[Your Heilang Daeju was kicked.]
[I see! Where on earth did you get it?]
[I went to Heuksi and it was there.]
[How much did you buy it for? 500,000 nyang? One million nyang?]
[It’s 10,000 cat.]
[Don’t lie!]
[It’s 10,000 cat. Have I ever lied about something like this?]
When Cheonma realized that it was true, he was speechless for a moment, probably because he was shocked. I heard that the Great Lord Heilang was a subordinate whom the Heavenly Demon trusted very much. Perhaps that’s why the shock was greater.
[We are the forgotten people.]
[Don’t interpret it grandiosely. This is because the unique wolf mark has been erased. I just didn’t know that the people selling it were Heilangdaeju’s breastplates.]
[Oh, is that so?]
[At least so far, the people of the world remember you.]
[I refuse to say things I don’t even mean to say!]
[Of course, they are bad memories.]
[joy!]
I felt that the Heavenly Demon was in a better mood. It occurred to her that she had been pushing herself too far lately. Yes, she doesn’t just need a whip, she also needs to be given a carrot sometimes.
[Now then, shall we go fight?]
[Okay, let’s go!]
I opened the door and went out with a very excited Cheonma.
The moon was bright and big today. The old man, the leader of the forces behind the scenes, will not be able to see the moon that rises tomorrow.
