When darkness falls (1)
“How did you know?”
In response to the law enforcement merchant’s question, the dark target pointed to one item from the list he was holding.
“This picture here is Lee Sang’s favorite thing. Even if he lost everything, he would have sold this painting last. No, he would have died without selling it.”
The fact that this painting came out on the market meant only one thing.
“He is sending me a distress signal right now.”
Or already dead.
The execution merchant said coldly.
“It might not be a rescue signal, but a trap.”
“Maybe so.”
Acknowledging it obediently, the object of darkness closed its eyes.
“If so, the property is being disposed of, not disposed of by him.”
Frustration and embarrassment were all mixed up on his face. We have endured all kinds of hardships and ups and downs to reach this point, but this is the first time in recent times that we have experienced such difficult times.
“Where is Lee Sang now?”
“Based on various circumstances, we presume it is Shaanxi.”
“That’s where his base is. “You mean this mess happened in your own front yard?”
“I will go down and send it to you myself.”
“It won’t work!”
“You mean it can’t be done?”
“Sang Lee is not a person who can be easily mistreated by someone. It hasn’t been long since he was declared bankrupt, and he is being torn apart like this… … “It’s that guy from Byeokridan.”
During the fight, the blood seller discovered the identity of Byeokridan. Afterwards, they all disappeared from Shandong, but they suddenly reappeared in Shaanxi, peeling flesh from the bones of darkness.
“Are you saying he’s been fighting against us lately?”
“That’s right. The blood seller also died because of him.”
The collecting merchant was surprised to hear that the blood seller had died.
“The rumors were true.”
Since she was declared bankrupt immediately after her death, the law enforcement agent did not know the correct information. This is because the target of darkness did not address matters related to it through public discussion.
“He closed Yasi in two days and eventually made me declare bankruptcy. He is a monster.”
Nevertheless, the housekeeper was not shaken at all. He spoke with a more confident expression.
“Monsters have existed in every era. But we always caught monsters.”
“This monster is different.”
“You can still catch it. “All law enforcement officials will step forward.”
The underground commercial world’s law enforcement merchants consisted of a total of nine people. Each of them, like the law enforcement merchants standing here, were truly great experts. They were usually assigned one person per case to enforce the law. Despite that, there was nothing that couldn’t be resolved yet. Because they are like that, if they all come together, they will truly have tremendous power.
However, the Dark Target knew well that they alone were not enough.
“I understand. Gather all law enforcement merchants to Shaanxi. Instead, wait nearby until you receive my orders.”
“all right.”
The law enforcement merchant who received the order left the bookstore.
As he left, someone appeared.
The person who suddenly appeared like a ghost was a man of a similar age to the target of darkness. He was much more powerful in prayer than the law enforcement merchants who came and left before him.
He was the black sword, the guardian warrior of the dark object.
“Are you really thinking about going to Shaanxi?”
“I intend to do so.”
“It’s dangerous. “You must give up your ideals of darkness.”
“You know, I was too close to him to just throw him away.”
“It’s a construction problem. “Unfortunately, this cannot be done.”
“The reason I’m going isn’t just to save that person.”
“Then what is it for?”
“He is looking for me. He’s probably waiting for me to come. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put my friend’s items on the market anymore. That’s a kind of invitation. Even if not this time, we will meet someday.”
“Then it is even more dangerous. Please take my advice.”
After a moment, the dark object spoke.
“Yes, you are right. If I continue like this, I will die. “Even if there were 90, instead of 9, gatherings, I think I would die.”
The dark object’s eyes calmed down.
“Even if I go, I have to prepare a way to survive.”

“I threw the bait, so there will be bites.”
I nodded at Gal Sa-ryang’s words.
He sold all of his belongings, including his most prized painting, to Black Poetry. Since there were so many expensive and famous works, this would have definitely caught their attention.
“Instead of biting the bait, it will bite the angler’s neck.”
“I guess so.”
“What are the preparedness measures?”
“We didn’t have time to create a large formation like Dark Geohaejin, so we set up a basic formation. “It’s not a threat, but at least it’s a formation that doesn’t allow for secret intrusion.”
“Good.”
“I’m thinking of buying a new safe house and moving the communist general and I there together with the Black Panthers.”
Whether they come for a rescue operation or an extermination operation, they will come properly prepared. Although the Black Panthers are showing great skills, they predicted that they would make a huge sacrifice if they entered into this fight.
“Good job. “I will take care of the rest.”
I’ve already talked about the advantages of having Gal Sa-ryang as my subordinate, but at moments like this, it really shines.
How could Gal Sa-ryang not be worried about me? But after making the most reasonable choice, he doesn’t show any concern.
At that time, Gong Su-chan came in. After I brought him the materials from the secret room in the warehouse ceiling, he became very busy.

Fortunately, the work was done faster than ever, taking advantage of the experience of dealing with dark or abnormal properties several times before.
“Is things going well?”
“Galgunsa helped us a lot, so it was handled easily.”
“I just ran a few errands.”
At Gal Sa-ryang’s humility, Gong Soo-chan waved his hand with an expression that said absolutely nothing.
The content the two worked on was incredible.
“Currently, the amount obtained is 450,000 nyang. If you combine it with the previous one, it is 605 million nyang. “If you include the things that haven’t been processed yet, the total will be around 900 million nyang.”
“Nineteen million nyang!”
I looked at Gal Sa-ryang with an expression of disbelief. Gal Saryang also shook his head, showing similar absurdity. It was truly absurd. Nine hundred million cats!
What’s even more surprising is that this astronomical sum came from just one of the ten executives.
Of course, considering that they moved so aggressively even after being declared bankrupt, it seemed that Lee Lee had the most assets except for the underworld, but if the assets of all ten of them were gathered together, it would be an amount that is difficult to even imagine.
Of course, on the one hand, I understood it.
This organization is one that has been around for over hundreds of years. Money begets money, and begets more money. The amount keeps growing and growing. You might have lost it in the middle, and you might have hit the jackpot. We collect and collect again, and that is what has been passed down to our descendants. Beyond a certain point, it would have become an amount that made it impossible to fail even if one wanted to. Just by taking a breath, it would have continued to increase by several thousand nyang.
“You two, please go to the new safe house and continue your work.”
“All right.”
The two people greeted each other politely and went outside.
Finally, Baek Pyo came in. He spoke carefully.
“I think those two will be able to escort the Black Panthers alone. So this is what I’m saying… … “Can I take you with me this time?”
“Of course.”
Baekpyo looked surprised because the answer was so easy compared to the extremely careful question. They probably thought I would fight alone.
“It would be nice to be with you and reminisce about the old days.”
“Thank you, Lord Maeng.”
Baekpyo was truly happy.
So there were three people left in the safe house.
Me, Baekpyo, and Darkness.
After suppressing the demon blood, Darkness locked him in the room and I and Baekpyo came out.
“Shall we share a trick for the first time in a while?”
Baekpyo’s face brightened at the unexpected suggestion.
What do my words mean? The intention is to teach martial arts. My one-step teaching will become more valuable and precious as my skills suddenly increase.
I said to him who drew his sword.
“You can come as much as you want.”
Isn’t this really what a person doing a massage wants to hear the most? Moreover, it was something I would never hear from someone as talented as Baekpyo, unless it was me.
Based on my judgment, Baekpyo’s current skill level was in the top ten in the midfield.
I thought that if I went up just one level higher than now, there would be no opponents except me, Cheonwanggun, and Cheon Soseon. Of course, Gangho is so large and a place where all kinds of strange people live, so it was hard to know who else would pop out.
In the case of Cheon So-seon, the wind was too strong. Even if his skills improved by one level, it was not easy for Baekpyo to avoid it.
Baekpyo swung his sword freely and pushed me fiercely. It was clear that his temperament had become rougher than before.
But there was still a sense of stability hidden within that rough temperament. To put it in a good way, it was a sense of stability, but in a bad way, it was passive and passive, in short, it was an inherent weakness of escort drones.
I’m not hoping to get rid of it forever. Because it was close to nature, it did not disappear easily and there was no need to eliminate it.
However, after getting rid of the existing one, you should have a new sense of stability again.
It is not an artificial feeling created by being an escort, but a natural sense of stability that a person named Baekpyo possesses. Even if it is the same sense of stability, it is a completely different sense of stability.
Only then will Baekpyo be truly reborn as a warrior who will compete for supremacy in the world.
The dance with Baekpyo proceeded in silence. He didn’t necessarily teach anything. And he didn’t even lengthen the dance. He said to him after rubbing together.
“Let’s do it again tomorrow.”
“yes.”
Baekpyo looked thrilled. It’s not something that ends once.
“I’d like to have a drink after a long time, but let’s do it later. “There is always time to drink alcohol, but today is the only opportunity to ponder this drink.”
“Lord!”
Baekpyo was so upset that he could no longer speak.
I plan to teach Baekpyo until he reaches the next level.
In the evening, I drank with Cheonma in the world created by Cheongisimhwan-gong.
[Now you are the richest person in Gangho.]
If I combined my existing money with the money beyond the shadows, it was worth hearing such words.
[But wouldn’t he be the richest?]
[no way? Is there anyone who has more money?]
[How did you know that this guy called Dark Strange had this much money? Just as there are unexpectedly hidden masters, there could be such rich people in the commercial world.]
[Anyway, please lend me some money later to give to my son and grandson.]
[However much. Instead, you should be careful about giving them money. If you suddenly have a lot of money, misfortune may also come.]
It was said out of genuine concern. If it’s a thousand horses, I can give you even 100 million nyang. No, I could give you more.
The Heavenly Demon also knew my feelings well, so she answered obediently.
[Sure.]
* * *
On the tenth day of dancing with Baekpyo, Baekpyo finally gained enlightenment.
Your skills have gone up one level.
If my skills hadn’t improved dramatically as I learned the Demon God’s Gyeol, I wouldn’t have been able to raise him to another level in just 10 days.
But I accomplished the difficult task.
Now I can say for sure. Among those I know, Baekpyo has the fourth ability.
First, I and Cheonwanggun, who cannot predict victory or defeat, then Cheon Soseon, and then Baekpyo became the fourth powerful players. I plan to eliminate those two, so Baekpyo will be the second in the future.
“Thank you so much, Master.”
Baekpyo bowed.
I grabbed his hand and helped him up.
“I should be the one to thank you.”
They say that results are important, but they are not. The process is always as important as the result. To get to where I am today, Baekpyo sacrificed and delivered much more than I did. There was clearly a white mark in my results.
“Thank you, Baekpyo.”
Two days later, the bell began to ring, announcing a visitor.
When I went outside, there were two men standing at the entrance to the camp.
I knew instinctively the moment I saw them. The fact that one of them is a target of darkness. Surprisingly, he came in person.
It was easy to figure out who the dark target was. Because the other one was truly a typical warrior.
“Let’s stop fighting for a while.”
“yes.”
Baekpyo stopped his line.
Two people walked into the house.
I stood face to face with the dark object. I could feel that I had reached a major turning point in my destiny. I haven’t even talked to him yet, but when I look back later, this moment will definitely be an important moment in my life.
“I am a target of darkness.”
“It’s Byeokridan.”
Baekpyo and the man also greeted each other.
“A white ticket.”
“It’s a black sword.”
Black Sword was a man of great skill who could rival White Panther. From what he felt in his prayers, he appeared to be an escort guard, guarding a dark caravan.
When looking only at martial arts, the person with the least skill was the target of darkness. He came to me with only this one subordinate.
What does he really believe?
martial arts,
