Opening(1)
The act of saving a life has greater meaning than anything else.
Seongwangbo bowed his head, formally expressing his gratitude.
“I will never forget the grace that saved me.”
Seongwangbo prayed to the moon in his carriage. If someone saves him, he will do anything for him.
Of course, now that I was out of the back yard, I wasn’t as desperate, but it was still completely different from how I felt before.
‘If it weren’t for him, I would be among those corpses.’
At the same time, resentment toward Cheon So-seon boiled up like lava.
‘You damn bastard! Are you trying to kill me? I will definitely take revenge.’
Looking into his eyes, I read gratitude and revenge at the same time.
“Who tried to kill you?”
Seongwangbo answered my question.
“Cheon So-seon. “You know him, right?”
“Of course.”
I raised my finger and pretended to blow an earth breeze.
Seongwangbo chuckled.
“That’s right. “That’s him.”
“Why did he try to kill you?”
“I don’t know either. Do you think it was me who brought you to our side? Or is there another reason?”
“What do you plan to do next?”
This may be the most difficult question for Seong Wangbo.
“And you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You killed Danju of the Murim Alliance, right?”
I firmly refuted it.
“You are the one who killed it.”
When I glared at him coldly, Seongwangbo nodded.
“but. “He died because of me, so I killed him.”
It was a clever move to use that incident as a weakness to take the lead in our relationship, but it was a foolish attempt.
“Okay, if you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll see you later.”
He did not express displeasure at the other person’s attitude. There was no need for him to damage the grace that saved his life.
I acted as if I had no regrets at all and didn’t look like I was trying to take advantage of him.
The unwillingness to take advantage of the other person’s desperation sometimes lends trust. As in the case right now.
He said behind my back.
“Will you help me?”
I turned towards him.
“Do you know what that means?”
“Of course.”
“Say it with your own mouth.”
“It’s a betrayal of the organization.”
Probably not. If Cheon So-seon tried to kill him, he would have to hang on to the dark target. Because it was my only lifeline at this point. But what does it mean to say this to me? This means that I will hold onto both the dark object and myself.
I understood his sinister intentions but did not show it.
“Honestly, I hope so too. Because I want to know those behind you. So I’ll ask again. Do you really want to hold hands with me?”
“exactly.”
I didn’t immediately question the person behind it. If you force yourself to delve into it, he will make up a story mixing truth and lies. He is now only looking for his own way to live.
Since I am in charge, there is no need to rush.
As expected, he will come first and hand over information about the dark target.
I walked over and held out my hand to him.
“Let’s do well in the future.”
“Thank you.”
Seongwangbo held my hand. I could feel the desperation in his tight grip.
It was the moment when the hole in the embankment became a little bigger.

The death of Gwangwol Danju Joo Cheol-ryong shook the Murim Alliance. An emergency was declared, and the rumor that it was the work of a demonic cult quickly spread.
Of course, Ma Cheol did not believe the rumor.
“What on earth is this? “I asked you to find out who was behind it. Why did you kill Joo Cheol-ryong?”
Majeol made a loud noise. In front, the demonic person protested with an expression of injustice.
“I didn’t do it.”
“Then who did it?”
“I don’t know either.”
“Don’t lie!”
Ma Cheol suddenly got up from his seat. I really wanted to rush in right away and throw a punch.
“Wouldn’t it have been better if it didn’t work out better?”
“Is everything going well?”
“After all, Joo Cheol-ryong was a thorn in his side, right? “It was handled well this time.”
Majeol Ma frowned.
Of course, it wasn’t wrong. I will take this opportunity to plant Gwangwoldanju as my own person. If Gwangwoldan becomes yours following the Annihilation Order, you will now have a solid foundation in Maengnae.

But what made him feel bad was that none of this was his intention. He was at the mercy of circumstances beyond his control. He was someone who really hated being manipulated by anyone.
“Isn’t it really your doing?”
“No! “I may be a terrible person, but I don’t lie about things like this.”
Ma Cheol-gun could tell that Ma-ryeong-in was telling the truth.
Ma Cheol-gun’s tone became a little softer.
“Honestly, I feel bad. It feels like they are the main characters and we are minor characters. It’s okay to have it or not, it’s the feeling of being left out. “He is a Murim lord in name and name.”
The corner of the Demon Spirit’s mouth curled up, but no sarcastic words came out of his mouth. At least his current situation was not much different.
“I know very well that we are not meant to hold hands. But let’s make an exception at least this time. It won’t be too late even if we wipe out all of these in our fight. Until then, please keep the back of my head safe.”
Majeolgun did not trust Demonyeongin. The Demon Spirit was the type of person who would hit someone in the back, and was not the type to truly hold hands.
However, in the current situation where there are enemies on all sides, he had to attract the demonic people to his side.
The magician was lost in thought for a moment.
After meeting him, Joo Cheol-ryong died. In other words, they knew that they were trying to appease Joo Cheol-ryong. That’s probably why Joo Cheol-ryong died.
‘It’s dangerous.’
Ma Cheol-gun, who noticed that Ma-ryeong-in was conflicted, held out his hand and said.
“It’s unfortunate, but aren’t we related?”
The devil held hands.
“that’s right. There is no such thing as bad luck. but… … “They are even more unlucky.”
As expected, Seongwangbo contacted me first.
He looked very haggard, probably because he was worried a lot.
“I made a fair amount of noise, but my position within the organization became even more awkward.”
“I’m sorry.”
“To be honest, I don’t know what to do either.”
“The more complicated something seems, the simpler it is to solve.”
“They are strong.”
“I know.”
“no. You don’t know. “They have experts who are stronger than you.”
“Experts?”
“exactly. “At least two, maybe five or ten.”
“You are saying that there are as many as ten people in one era who can use the sword technique.”
“I know.”
“You’re serious.”
Seongwangbo raised his head and looked at me.
“Their power was not accumulated in one era. Pile and pile, crush what’s piled underneath and pile on top of it, and when what’s piled up is crushed, pile on top of it again. Even though it was so heavy that the floor collapsed, the holes were filled and the top was built to form a great mountain. “No one knows what’s in that pile.”
They could tell that Sheng Wangbo was truly afraid of them.
“Imagine there is an organization that has been developed and passed down for hundreds of years. Do you think that we have been seeking the martial arts level for hundreds of years? “What if you’ve been buying elixirs for hundreds of years?”
“Then how did you decide to betray me?”
“Until now, I thought I could climb that mountain. Because I believed that my ambition was formidable. “I felt like the stronger my opponent was, the bigger and better I became.”
“But now?”
“I realized that it was all a futile struggle. I was like a domestic chick. A chick that is infinitely cute when it’s cute, but it doesn’t matter if it dies one day, a chick that doesn’t even have a child to mourn for even a few days. Fortunately, even if I didn’t die, my fate was to be eaten as a chicken. “I will no longer dream of dreams that cannot be achieved.”
“Why are you saying this to me?”
“I’m hoping that maybe you can bring down that mountain. Anyway, I would have been dead if it weren’t for you. If it was fate that I met you, then it must have been fate. “I will bet the rest of my fate on you.”
I felt he was speaking the truth. He might try another trick later, but at least for now, he was sincere.
He said with a self-deprecating smile.
“I gave up my dream. “Aren’t dreams called dreams because they never come true anyway?”
“You can make your dreams come true.”
“What do you mean?”
“If that mountain falls, yours will be the highest anyway.”
“You… … “I’m serious.”
I looked at him and spoke calmly.
“I will make that mountain plain.”

After meeting Byeokridan, Seong Wangbo went straight to the dark target.
The object of darkness was with a fleshy man.
The fleshy man asked.
“I heard that Cheon So-seon tried to kill him?”
“exactly.”
“Luckily you survived. Well, our Sungchonggwan had excellent escorts. Fortunately, the.”
“You don’t have to think about it like that. “Don’t you already know everything that happened that day?”
“What do you mean?”
“He saved me. “If it weren’t for him, he’d be dead.”
King Seongbo knew well that trickery would not work on them.
“okay? There are countless people in the world who can be called that, aren’t there? “What kind of him are you talking about?”
“I mean him who is against us.”
“So, we don’t even know who he is.”
“I guess it’s the same there.”
“For some reason, I feel like I’m favoring that side.”
“If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be standing here.”
“so? Did you even join his side?”
“Anyway, you didn’t think of me as being on the same side, right?”
Seongwangbo continued to talk to the fleshy man, but his gaze continued to be directed towards the dark object.
“You almost died once and then you became bold.”
“This is what happens when people are cornered. “I tried to live a noble life, but it’s not easy.”
The fleshy man showed his life.
“How dare you make a modification like this. Anyway, these bastards will be damned if you treat them well.”
It was a primitive and violent act that had never been shown before. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Normally, he would have been discouraged by this behavior, but Seongwangbo instead smiled leisurely.
At that time, the dark object that had been quietly listening finally opened its mouth.
“I’m sorry. Forget about his rude behavior. “He’s really sensitive these days.”
“Yes, I will forget it.”
The fleshy man laughed coldly, probably because the words “forget” sounded provocative. On the other hand, the target of darkness asked in a soft tone as usual.
“What did he say?”
“They said they should get the money and I shouldn’t die.”
“How did you know and save it?”
“They said they were watching Joo Cheol-ryong.”
Sheng Wangbo told everything honestly. He wasn’t someone you could fool if you wanted to. He must tell ninety-nine truths and deceive only one. He might be able to fool even that.
“It looks like they are planning to use me to reveal the identity of the target.”
The dark object nodded.
“What was the person you saw like?”
“He is better than anyone I have ever seen. If you let your guard down… … .”
“Am I in danger too?”
“no. “That can’t be possible.”
“I understand. I’m sorry about this. You let an outsider save you. “I’m sorry for not being able to prevent it earlier.”
“no. “Well, if you don’t have anything to say, I’ll just leave.”
“Please take care.”
As Seongwangbo retreated, the plump man said with a disapproving expression.
“You shallow bastard! “He’s walking a tightrope right now.”
“know.”
“Let’s get rid of it.”
“Sure.”
“yes? Are you really saying you want to get rid of it?”
“As we eliminate him, let us eliminate the Holy Secretariat as well.”
The fleshy man who was quietly staring at the dark object was startled.
“That means… … no way?”
The dark object nodded and said.
“We will open an underground store and open a night market.”
The words to open a night market were an order to unseal the underground world, and the plump man knelt down on the spot.
“The great king of darkness, I obey your solemn command.”
The target of darkness gave a stern command.
“Summon all the ten dark merchants right now, and call in all the fighting merchants of the underground merchant world. Also, call the Gangbuk merchant, the Hwangryong merchant, the night merchant, and the waterway merchant, and tell the blood seller to come in immediately.”
