Walk alone but together (1)
After finishing Maengju’s official routine, I called Gwangdu.
“Gwangdanju. I have something serious to talk about, so please come out for a moment. “All my subordinates were bitten.”
An answer came from behind the pillar closest to me.
“Yes, Lord.”
As soon as the order was given, all of the warriors of the Menghoudan retreated quickly and sternly from inside the Mengjujeon.
Only then did Gwangdu appear. He was completely different from when he first became Lord Meng Hao. Now Meng Haodan’s military uniform suits him very well.
He was as completely adapted to the mission of the Tiger Corps as he was to the military uniform. Although he had only been there for a little over five months, he looked like he had been in the job for five years.
I heard that it is popular among Meng Haodan’s subordinates. He thought it was natural. Gwangdu’s interpersonal relationships had their own charm that was unrivaled. Moreover, he even learned how to use his own voice while leading the Taeseong Sangdan.
The guy looked tired today. Well, being good at interpersonal relationships is doing well, and being difficult is being difficult.
“Come here.”
I came down from Taesa and sat down at the reception table set aside.
“What are you doing instead of sitting?”
“It’s comfortable to stand.”
“You changed because you got ahead. How can a person’s heart change so easily? “You said you liked me like that.”
Then Gwangdu made a bewildered expression. If it were him, he would have shouted like this.
No, who is this all because of? My legs are hurting to death too! I was standing all day!
But Gwangdu quickly adjusted his expression and spoke.
“You misunderstand, Lord.”
haha. Now, he is quite like the leader of the fierce tiger group.
“Just sit down.”
“yes.”
“Relax. Now, quickly return from Meng Haodanju to Guangdu.”
“I don’t know if that will work.”
“You bastard, Meng Haodanju is a few months, Guangdou is decades.”
“Not for decades. “It’s been a little over thirty years.”
“That’s it. Now, take a drink.”
“I’ll give it to you first.”
“OK.”
Gwangdu poured the drink. I filled the glass of Gwangdu. It’s been a long time since I drank alcohol. If the reason why he stopped drinking with Gal Sa-ryang after coming to Maeng was purely out of concern for his health, Gwang-du’s case was a little different.
I wanted him to navigate his destiny alone without relying on me. I feel good because I feel like I’m doing as well as I wanted.
“Let’s drink.”
“Yes, Lord!”
“When you two are together, call me Master.”
Gwangdu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and accepted the offer.
“Yes, master.”
“Are you tired?”
“it’s okay.”
It must be difficult. Moreover, unlike other lords, the leader of the Meng Hao did not sit at the head of the desk, but had to personally escort the leader.
“sorry. “I’m making things difficult for you because of my greed.”
“Don’t say that. Like this, with the Lord… … .”
“young master!”
“To be able to be with you like this, there is nothing more I could wish for.”
“You don’t have to protect me like this from now on. I can protect my body. “You go and practice martial arts and do your own thing.”
“You can’t do that for the organization. “Every day’s missions come together and become the history of the Tiger Corps, which will be passed down to the younger generations of the Tiger Corps.”
“You’re all grown up.”
“Heh! “Aren’t I older than you?”
“Haha, right.”
I laughed happily at Gwangdu’s joke.
“How are you, Master?”
“what?”
“Young Master, haven’t you been running around like crazy without even being able to rest properly?”
“Did it look like that?”
“yes. All I saw of Mr. Master was him doing his best for everyone’s happiness. Do you really feel happy? … “I’m a little worried.”
“I am happy. “If I wanted more, it would be greedy.”
“Are you sure?”
“No problem.”
“Then I’m glad.”
We toasted vigorously and then emptied our glasses.
“These are the times to rest.”
“I like it too. “Sitting with you like this makes me feel like my fatigue has completely melted away.”
“The escort mission is a long-term mission compared to the work of other organizations. You shouldn’t pour it all in at once. It is something that must be endured slowly and over a long period of time. So, don’t be rigid and work flexibly.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
When work becomes rigid, eventually life becomes rigid as well. Work should be what supports life, but life becomes dragged down by work. In other words, it becomes a life lived to work.
I have to relieve my stiffness somehow. If you unravel it little by little, your work and life will open up and become softer.
“Gwangdu.”
“yes.”

“I have somewhere to go for a while. “I will go alone.”
Gwangdu stared at me for a moment and then answered.
“Yes, please come back.”
“Aren’t you worried?”
“Who cares about whom?”
“ha ha ha.”
These are words typical of Gwangdu. Yes, don’t forget your original self and live like this.
“It won’t take that long.”
“Please be careful. “I will take good care of it.”
“thanks.”
I stayed up late drinking with Gwangdu while enjoying the night view of Gangho seen from the window.
Before the sun rose, I quietly left the Murim League.
[Where are you going?]
[Gangho inspection.]
[inspection?]
[Now that I’m a lord, I’m going to take a look around.]
But contrary to what I said, I had one clear goal.
Easy profit.
With the Demon God Yeongpungbo reaching Daeseong, he escaped from Wuhan in an instant.
* * *
A month later. Sichuan Province, Xichang.
There was silence in the small swords hall.
The owner of the small farm and his family were tied up in the warehouse with their blood vessels suppressed.
In front of him, a furry man was eating chicken frantically. He tore into the meat, his hands and lips glistening with oil, as if he had starved for several days.
“Please understand even if I’m obnoxious. I haven’t eaten properly for three days because of those damn Murim bastards. Ever since the Byeokridan or something else became the leader, they’ve been making a fuss about catching us. Implementation of consultation? “Tell me not to give a damn!”
The man picked up the bottle of alcohol sitting next to him, took a gulp, and then cut into the meat again.
“They said that not only me, but also all the wanted people are in similar situations. Murimmaeng bastards! Why are they so clean! “I think I’ll rip it to shreds.”
The cattle shop owner, his wife, and their young daughters were trembling. The soldiers, including Sodojangju, had their faces and bodies beaten.
On the outside, he looked like a lowly mountain thief, but the hairy man was a great expert.
After filling his stomach, the furry man wiped his oily hands and clothes.
With his stomach full, the man’s gaze turned to the owner of the small dojo and then to his wife and daughter next to him.
“No! Please don’t do that.”
The furry man grinned at the surprised shout of the owner of the small dojo.
“Don’t worry. “Because I’m not that dirty guy.”
“There is money in the living room. “Please take everything and leave.”
“I have to go. “I’ll go even if you don’t say that, so don’t worry too much.”
The man got up from his seat and left the warehouse.
The owner of Sodo was inwardly relieved. At least he didn’t seem like he was going to rape his wife and daughter. He tried to calmly reassure his children.
“Nothing will happen, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yes, father.”
As long as the person was safe, it was not a waste to lose that wealth. Please just leave like this.
At that moment, the warehouse door opened and the man came back in. The man brought a bale of straw and scattered it around. And started pouring oil on it.
The owner of the small dojo was scared and shouted.
“Ji, what are you trying to do now?”
The hairy man said with a smile.
“don’t worry. “It will be over soon.”
“It’s over soon?”
The owner of the small dojo was very surprised.
“Don’t do this! There are kids. “They are only twelve and nine years old now.”
“okay. “You raised it beautifully.”
The man took out the Hwaseopja from his arms.
Sodojangju shouted.
“no! “Just kill us all with your sword!”
Sodojangju knew well how painful it was to be burned to death. He cried out in fear and begged for his life.
The hairy man shook his head and spoke evilly.
“Then it’s not fun, is it?”
“what?”
“I kept getting chased around, but I’m really sensitive these days. “I should have some fun too, right?”
“please! Please at least save the children! “Please!”
The man lit the Hwaseop jar on fire.
“You crazy bastard! Just kill me with a knife! “You bastard!”
“Hehehe, it’ll be nice because it’s warm.”
“Aaaah!”
It was just when I was about to throw Hwaseopja on the straw bale.
Pick.
The fire at Hwaseopja went out.
The furry man turned his head in surprise. Someone was standing next to him, and he had turned off the light with his hand.
Shhh.
The hairy man threw the flower pot and quickly punched it.
puck!
The fist filled with energy hit the man’s side squarely.
Crack.
“Aaaah!”
It was the furry man who screamed.
The furboy’s wrist was broken and tattered. Even though the opponent hit him without counterattacking, his wrist was broken by the natural anti-tank force produced by the self-defense technique.
As if the man was noisy, he grabbed the broken wrist and flicked his finger at the hairy boy’s forehead, which was screaming.
Just right.
The furball flew off and rolled around on the floor. He was hit so hard that blood burst out from his forehead.
“Ugh, it hurts.”
Rolling around on the floor in pain, the furry boy looked up at the man and said.
“who are you?”
The man took out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it at the furry boy. It was a wanted leaflet from the Murim Alliance, and it contained the description of the furboy and the details of the wanted person.
“pup! “Are you a bounty hunter?”
Then the man smiled and said.
“no. “The person who pays the hunters.”
The man was none other than Byeokridan.
* * *
I immediately released the blood swords of Sodojangju and his family.
“Thank you, thank you very much.”
Those who came back from the dead greeted me.
I told his two daughters.
“Father was willing to die in your place to protect you. “You just have to remember that.”
“Yes, Eunkong.”
The children’s eyes, which had been frightened, filled with gratitude for their father instead of fear.
“Okay, everyone, get out. “Oh, and I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to rebuild this warehouse.”
Master Sodo understood what I meant and smiled in repentance.
“Even so, it was old, so we wanted to build a new one.”
He took his family and all the people who were trapped and went out.
I picked up the flower pot that had fallen on the floor and lit it again. Then the hairy boy was embarrassed.
“Well, what are you trying to do?”
“are you okay. “It will be over soon.”
“Take me to the Murim Alliance! “If you take me, I’ll give you a bounty!”
“Because it’s my money.”
“what?”
Well, there was no way he could understand my joke.
Cheeeeeeeek.
The guy shouted as the hwaseopja caught fire.
“please! Just kill me! please! “Just kill me with the sword.”
“hate. “I’m also sensitive these days.”
Grumbling.
I set his body on fire.
The man on fire rolled around on the floor like crazy.
I watched him burn painfully to death without any sympathy.
When I left the manor, Cheonma said.
[That guy is the 16th person.]
After joining the Murim Alliance, he executed sixteen evildoers. He moved so quickly that he caught and killed those with bounties placed on the Murim Alliance from east to west.
[Why does everyone look like such trash?]
[Because they are trash.]
[Is there anyone you liked among the people I killed?]
[What nonsense?]
[no. This is just something I tried.]
[But why is the Murim Lord in such an uproar? Don’t be noble.]
[Do good things and save the Murim Alliance budget. It’s good, right?]
[This is crazy!]
Actually, I was looking for someone who could become the Heavenly Demon. Since the soul is going to belong to the Heavenly Demon anyway, all you have to do is have a decent body.
However, most of those with high martial arts skills were too old. The guy who looked good was weak in both martial arts and body. He was a decent guy, but he really pissed me off and killed me on the spot.
In conclusion, a young, handsome, and strong martial arts villain was really valuable. Saving the body was much more difficult than expected.
It was something that could have been put off a little longer.
However, the reason I am in such a hurry to step forward myself is because I want to handle this matter at my own will.
I want to free the Heavenly Demon through my will before fate pushes me to fall where I don’t want to be.
[What on earth are you planning? It’s strange these days!]
[Now that I’ve had enough air, shall I head back?]
I instantly soared into the air with Demon God Buun and flew towards Hubei.
A person came to mind. When he thought of Cheonma’s body, he was also the first person that came to mind.
Machul-gun.
He threw the Murim Alliance into chaos and took the lead in joining hands with the Heavenly King’s Army and attracting powerful people to turn them into dark heavenly weapons. All of those who became Dark Heaven Weapons died, so even for this alone, Majeolgun committed a mortal sin.
The body is still young and possesses strong martial arts skills. Plus he’s handsome.
Still, the reason I hesitated was because he was such a famous person. Because he was the successor to Cheondo-mun and was the leader of the previous generation.
Can I really choose him?
I finally realized that it was time to talk to the Heavenly Demon.
martial arts,
