The richest man of all time (2)
The journey of the Dark Ten Merchants was different from usual.
They usually only accompanied one or two escorts very secretly, but today they came out blatantly taking all the unmanned soldiers with them.
One person appeared with as few as a dozen or as many as dozens of warriors. The strength of each one was unusual, and they were the strongest among the warriors that the Dark Tensang had with them.
They divided themselves into different areas and kept a tight guard around the manor.
Dark Tensang was anxious about this meeting.
I understood the sudden declaration of bankruptcy. Because the blood seller died and Yasi was closed. However, I did not understand why the bankruptcy declaration was suddenly lifted and an emergency meeting was held. Moreover, there were incomprehensible rumors going around.
Thinking that something must have happened, they each attended with their men with the strongest martial arts skills.
When they confirmed that they had similar feelings, they were internally relieved.
They entered the guest room.
A dark object and a dark ideal were waiting in the audience hall.
The Dark Target knew that their lives were at stake in this meeting. Byeokridan will be watching this manor from afar.
If persuasion fails, Byeokridan will kill himself and Darksang, and as before, torture the remaining eight leaders to extract money. Of course it will take much more time. So I left it to myself.
“How have you all been?”
“Thanks to you, I had a good time. “Daesang and Lee Sang’s faces were very hurt.”
“As you all know, the recent events related to the bankruptcy declaration are not something to be comfortable with, are they?”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
After exchanging formal greetings, everyone sat down.
“Since you are all busy people, I will tell you why I called you here today.”
Everyone looked nervously at the dark object.
“Everyone probably knows. The King of Heaven succeeded in teaching Dafa and became a martial god. He also became a very cruel and heartless martial god.”
Everyone nodded. Everyone knew that he took control of the Murim Alliance in an instant and used cruel hands in the process.
“I took over the Murim Alliance without even being able to do it. “He came back not as a person, but as a monster.”
The target of darkness talked about what happened that day and maximized the fear of the King of Heaven.
“That Heavenly King’s army is targeting us. “He’s not just looking for it, he’s trying to take all our property.”
He said ‘everything’ especially emphatically. Because today’s fight had to be a half-and-all fight.
Everyone turned to each other at his words. They too seemed to have heard something.
Dark Osang asked calmly.
“Is this revenge for something that happened before?”
Everyone knew that they had hired Byeokridan to try to eliminate Cheonwanggun and Cheon Soseon.
“Now that you have absolute power, you probably want to take revenge. But his real reason is different.”
“The real reason?”
“He needs a lot of money now.”
It was explained that the Cheonwanggun was planning something after setting up a workshop in the basement of Maengjujeon.
Some of those listening were very surprised, while others were not so surprised. It seemed that each person had some information obtained through their own information.
Rather, it was a good thing for the target of darkness. Because he didn’t have to prove that the story he was telling was true.
Of course, he didn’t just tell the truth.
“They say he made a confession to Cheon So-seon. “After taking everything that belongs to us, they will skin our entire bodies, pickle them in salt, and hang them at the main gate of the Murim Alliance.”
Of course, no such declaration was ever made. However, it was a lie that others could not confirm its authenticity. Because you could have said that.
The target of darkness was a person who knew how to skillfully mix truth and lies.
“I should have killed him before I succeeded in Dafa.”
The object of darkness sighed in regret.
Until now, he had always shown the relaxed side of a strong leader. Because he was so talented, he was able to hold the position of grand prize president for twenty years. But today, instead of his usual boldness, his nervousness appeared.
Darkness, who had been listening from the side, began to fire in support.
“If things continue like this, everyone will suffer. With their incredible martial arts skills and even control of the Murim Alliance, it will only be a matter of time before they find us.”
Then the Dark Master sitting across from him looked at the Dark Master and asked vaguely.
“Could it be that the rumors you are spreading around have something to do with this incident?”
“What rumor?”
“I heard your collection came out in black poetry?”
Then the Dark Seven came out.
“I even heard a rumor that Lee Sang sold all his other assets.”
As expected, since it was around the time of darkness, the information power was not normal.
Darkness nods his head and obediently acknowledges it.
“It’s not a rumor, it’s a fact. I sold my collection, and I also sold several tops. “I have sold more than half of my possessions.”
As expected, it was a mixture of lies and truth. It was all, not half, but there was no one here who could know for sure.
Everyone was surprised when the rumor turned out to be true.
Even among the ten merchants of darkness, he had an outstanding talent for making money. How can he sell half of his assets? why?
It was the dark object that revealed the reason.
“I told Lee Sang to sell it. “I needed half of my property, so I told you to sell it and get money.”
Everyone’s surprise grew even bigger. But the story that would really shock them began now.
“I also sold half of my possessions.”
Some people were surprised and others nodded. I couldn’t ask about it outright, but there was definitely a rumor that a shadowy person had disposed of his property.
The target of darkness answered honestly and maintained trust. Lying must be done when it is crucial. It is mixed with information that can never be confirmed.
Dark Osang came forward and asked on behalf of everyone.
“What on earth is it about?”
“To hire one person.”
“Who is that?”

“It’s Byeokridan.”
Everyone was surprised by the unexpected name.
“What if you say Byeokridan?”
“That’s right. “The guy who killed the blood seller and closed down Yasi in two days is our enemy, the Byeokridan.”
The scene in the hall was filled with continuous surprises and there was nothing more surprising.
“He is the only person in his time who can kill the King of Heaven.”
“Are you saying you will hire him to kill the Heavenly King?”
“exactly.”
“oh my god! Did you make such an important decision on your own? “You should have discussed it with us first.”
“Of course it should have been. But the situation turned so urgently.”
“What kind of situation was it?”
“I will be honest with you. “I almost died a while ago.”
It wasn’t a lie. Because he almost died when he met Wall Li Dan. The object was simply changed to the Heavenly King.
“I lost almost all of my men to the Heavenly King’s army. “I barely survived.”
The deaths of his subordinates were something that could be confirmed, so there was no room for doubt.
Everyone was agitated. They have always been hidden in the dark. Their first rule was not to show themselves to the world.
But something happened that almost cost the leader his life.
In different circumstances, these words would have had a completely different meaning. When the power of the dark target weakened, there would have been people looking for the next dark target.
But the meaning was different now. The position of the target of darkness is not a battle to be won, but has become the enemy’s number one target.
“How on earth does this happen?”
“Information about me was leaked.”
“Could it be that there is a traitor among us?”
The hall was buzzing.
The dark target said.
“I already know who the traitor is.”
“Who is that?”
“Seongwangbo, he is a traitor.”
In fact, truth and lies were cleverly mixed together. If Seong Wang-bo, the commander-in-chief, was a traitor, there was a good chance that the target of darkness would have died.
“I’m not the only one whose information has been leaked. “Seongwangbo even handed over all of your information.”
Insults about Seong Wang-bo were thrown out here and there. It was a much more violent reaction than when it was said a moment ago that the target of darkness was almost dead.
When the commotion subsided, the dark target spoke again.
“That’s how I went to Byeokridan. “I asked him to save my life and give me half of my property.”
Everyone’s thoughts became complicated.
“Bringing you here was a big adventure for me. If we move in such a large scale, we may be caught under surveillance by the Heavenly King’s army. “But I couldn’t help but give you a chance to survive while I was in the target position.”
The words ‘chance to survive’ were cleverly inserted.
The dark target did not push them. Rather, he took a step back.
“I didn’t call you to join me. I plan to tell you exactly the current situation and let you make a choice. “The Byeokridan can’t protect us all anyway.”
“What do you mean you can’t protect everyone?”
“I asked Byeokridan for a favor. “Please save at least a few more of us.”
The tone was as if he felt guilty about being the only one to survive.
“So I received a promise to save four more people. Of course, the condition was that I had to pay half of my assets.”
The object of darkness said while looking at the object of darkness.
“I gave the first opportunity to Lee Sang. You might think it’s unfair, but as you know, I had a special relationship with this person. “I believe you will understand.”
This time, the word ‘first opportunity’ was emphasized.
The dark object was drawing the picture it had envisioned, whether the other person was conscious of it or not.
“Out of the eight people here, three have a chance.”
Everyone was inwardly embarrassed. I really didn’t expect that today’s meeting would have this kind of atmosphere.
“The choice is yours. Either give up half of your wealth and receive his protection, or survive on your own. “I will give you some time to think.”
The dark object and Lee Sang stood up from their seats.
At that time, Dark Land suddenly stood up and said.
“I will ask you just one thing.”
“what?”
“How far are you looking?”
It was an ambiguous question as to what it meant.
But the target of darkness gave a confident answer.
“You’re looking very far ahead.”
It was a meaningful answer. And the dark land that asked the question interpreted the answer as having a plan to get the property back.
The dark objects and dark ideals that I have seen over the years were not people whose property was taken away so easily.
“I will join you too.”
The object of darkness actually stopped him.
“You have to give up half of your assets. Decide carefully. “Even if we give up our money, I’m not sure he’ll be able to protect us.”
“I know. I don’t believe in Byeokridan. Trust the subject’s judgment. “I believe in what has guided us for the past twenty years.”
“Okay. “Let’s go out together, too.”
That was when they were about to go out together.
The dark stigma suddenly arose.
“I will join you too.”
Dark Osang had a close relationship with athletics. After much thought, athletics made a decision, so I followed suit.
“Okay. Let’s do that. “Now all you have to do is decide.”
In an instant, two people joined and there was only one seat left.
“It’s something I can’t judge either. So there is no need to force yourself to come forward.”
It’s always like that. If you push them to do something, they will instinctively resist and say they won’t do it. However, if you try to step back like this, you become impatient.
At that time, the two people stood up at the same time. It was a dark plan and a ten-sang.
“I will do it too.”
“Let’s go, me too!”
The two people looked at each other and shouted.
“I woke up first.”
“No, it’s me.”
The two faced off tightly.
The dark ideal spoke to the dark object.
“Now that it’s like this, can’t you two be together?”
“It doesn’t work. “I promised him that I would pick exactly five people.”
Then Gusang and Sipsang again claimed that they were first.
The target of darkness was smiling inwardly.
This was the reason why they called them all at once instead of meeting them separately and tried to compete.
If we had met each of them separately with the intention of defeating them individually, it would have been much more difficult in the end. Because I would have doubted more deeply and hesitated more.
When people are together, people let down their guard.
The mind that says, ‘I can just judge wisely’ prevents cool-headed judgment. Sometimes we make emotional judgments like, ‘That person must have a reason for making the choice.’
Of course, we can come to a wiser conclusion by working together and discussing things. But on the other hand, you can get swept away by the atmosphere like this.
But it was only half a success.
There were four people who were still unmoved. They were people who never intended to give up their wealth.
The dark target came forward to mediate between the plan and the ten awards, which were in a tense conflict.
