Episode 13 My temper is even dirtier.
“Demon Lord. Name: Gu Cheon-yang (具天壤). He is the younger brother of the Blood Heavenly Demon Nine Heavenly Sect. It has been eight years since I became the Demon Lord, and by carrying out various dangerous missions, I have raised the Demon Army to the status of an elite organization recognized by everyone, both in name and reality.”
Seo Dae-ryong also knew the demon lord well.
“It means you did a good job.”
“That’s right.”
“Can I see the letter that came in this time?”
“Yes, I am here.”
He showed me the letter.
The content, written crookedly as if trying to fool the handwriting, was very simple.
-Serious corruption occurred within the Magun. Please investigate.
After looking down at it for a while, Seo Dae-ryong asked.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Let me imagine. There is corruption within Hwangcheongak. “You found out.”
I asked, looking at Seo Dae-ryong.
“Then are you going to send a letter?”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t send it.”
Seo Dae-ryong’s answer was without hesitation.
“yes? “It has nothing to do with you.”
“No, that’s not why.”
“then?”
“Nothing will change if you send a letter.”
I could sense a certain defeatism in his thoughtless answer.
“Your Nether Pavilion exists to change the main school, right?”
“Exactly, we are the sword used by those who want to change our school. “Not the subject.”
“If the higher-ups don’t change, the school won’t change?”
“I never said anything like that.”
But his expression was ‘Isn’t it?’ Since he naturally had a gloomy mood, these pessimistic and pessimistic thoughts suited him well.
“Anyway, this person sent a letter. I think I’ll die if I catch this. You can tell just by looking at him that he faked his handwriting like this. But why did this person send a letter? “Like you said, nothing will change just because of this.”
In place of Seo Dae-ryong, who did not answer, Ian quietly stepped forward and answered.
“They couldn’t have sent it because they were just. Could it be that they have a grudge against the person who committed corruption?”
“That makes sense.”
I nodded and returned the letter to Seo Dae-ryong.
“Anyway, we must find this person. “If we look easy, he’ll never show up.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
“how is it? “Can you do it?”
“I have to do it. “I already received the order and came here.”
“I mean, it’s really dangerous. The demon lord may be involved. “Aren’t you scared?”
“yes.”
“Did you know that the last inspector died?”
“I know. “The investigator who died at that time was my immediate senior.”
“Oh, I see.”
“He was the marksman who taught me.”
I could feel some sadness in those calm words. Maybe the reason he memorizes the information about all the demons in the demon army is because he wants to avenge his dead senior?
“Do you feel sad when you think of him?”
“He died in vain.”
“It is not a vain death. Because that death brought you and me here. And you have to be scared. They are the ones who killed the Hwangcheongak investigator and murdered his colleagues. “In short, they are people with no backs.”
“I don’t want to be scared by those dirty bastards.”
I could clearly understand these words. He wanted to avenge his predecessor. A great anger sleeps in that small body.
“Now then, shall we go investigate?”
As I was leaving the residence with Seo Dae-ryong, Ian followed me.
“young master! Please take me too.”
She thought investigating Demon Army was dangerous.
“No, it’s an official mission. “This is the time to call it a day and get some rest.”
She needs to get away from me.
Ian, who was looking at us worriedly as we walked away, suddenly looked around.
I directed my energy backwards and stroked her head once.
Don’t worry Ian. Because I have walked a very long way for days like these.

The Demon Dragon Garden, where the demonic forces reside, was located in the western district of the main temple’s outer hall.
As expected from an elite organization, the building was large and the facilities were very good.
When I arrived at the entrance to the Demon Dragon Garden with Seo Dae-ryong, two demons stopped me. As the demons boasted of their large size, these gatekeepers were also twice the size of an average person.
They parted ways and a man walked out.
“What kind of bastards come here and cause mischief?”
“This is Special Investigator Seo Dae-ryong. “Please identify yourself.”
“This is the high party of the Magun area. Are you okay, you bastard?”
At that time, Seo Dae-ryong quickly sent me a message.
―This person is actually the highest ranking person. He is known to be the most evil among the demonic forces.
Godang must have seen him licking his lips while sending a message.
“Is this guy crazy about wanting to die? “How dare you make a joke in front of someone?”
The guys at the front gate and these guys were literally useless people. The reason they ignored me was because the Demon Army itself was an organization that supported my brother. The demon lord’s older brother, Hyeolcheondoma, is also known as his brother’s successor. That’s why you’re ignoring me so blatantly.
“Go Great Lord, I am a special investigator of the Hwangcheon Pavilion who came down under an official order. “Be careful what you say!”
Seo Dae-ryong was confident even in front of the old temple.
‘I like it.’
After watching the trashy disciples of Hyeolcheondoma and the demonic army, I felt like my mind was purified when I saw Seo Dae-ryong.
Godang rolled his eyes as if he didn’t like Seo Dae-ryong’s attitude.
“Careful what you say? “What are you going to do if I don’t do it?”
“We will all be arrested for obstruction of the Hwangcheongak investigation and contempt for the investigators.”
“arrest? Hahahaha.”
As he laughed out loud, the subordinates around him also burst into laughter.
“Do it if you can!”
Even if executioners capable of using force had come along, they would have turned out like this.
Seo Dae-ryong couldn’t do anything else and turned to look at me.
It’s time for me to step forward again.
“Long time no see, Daeju Go.”
I walked up to Godang with great strides and held his hand as if shaking his hand with a happy face.
“When did we last see each other? Was it at the last banquet? “It’s nice to see you like this.”
While I was happy to see him, Godang’s expression was not so good.
“I think I need to see the demon lord urgently, so please stop being territorial here and open the way.”
Then I walked inside with him.
The road naturally opened and Seo Dae-ryong and I entered together, still holding hands.
His subordinates looked puzzled at the sight of Godang opening the way too easily compared to his initial momentum.
I walked down the hallway and said goodbye to Godang in front of the stairs.
“I’ll buy you a drink next time.”
Seo Dae-ryong asked with a surprised face because he opened the way and climbed the stairs so easily.
“Were you acquainted with Godang?”
“no. “I saw it for the first time today.”
“But how?”
“He’s going to have to eat with his left hand for a while. “I broke his hand when I shook his hand earlier.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Seo Dae-ryong was so surprised that he screamed.
How could one not be surprised to hear that the hand of the Demon Lord was broken without even making a mark?
“I had no idea that had happened. But why didn’t he send his men to attack him?”
“Then it becomes clear what happened to you, right? Broke your hand while shaking hands? “I can’t pay the ticket even if I feel embarrassed in front of my subordinates.”
Of course, that wasn’t the only reason. When Godang, whose hand was broken by the sudden surprise attack, tried to fight back, I quickly sent a telegram.
-If you mess up, you’ll never be able to use your hands again.
I held my broken hand so tightly that I felt like I was going to crush it completely. Godang was scared because there was a previous precedent of crushing the arm of a Hyecheondoma disciple so that he could not recover.
“That foul-tempered old man won’t just sit there.”
“What if I just don’t have it?”
“I will do whatever it takes.”
“If you do that, your head will explode and you will die. “This is a prophecy.”
Seo Dae-ryong looked at me with a new look in his eyes.
“Isn’t it respectable?”
“Your personality is better than I thought...”
“Why do you stop talking? “Dirty?”
“....”
“Are you the kind of person who can’t lie?”
“That’s why I get a lot of hate.”
“What may be hateful to one person may be likeable to another.”
Seo Dae-ryong, who stared at me in silence for a moment, changed the topic.
“The Demon Lord’s office is on the seventh floor. Let’s go.”
“It’s needlessly high. Let’s go.”
So we walked up to the seventh floor.
