Episode 26 The more you take, the deeper your relationship becomes.
Geum Asu took the lead through the secret passageway underground.
The road was complicated like a maze. I could feel that there were deadly traps and machinery hidden throughout the walls, ceilings and floors. Geum Sa-yeon, who was following along, felt nervous.
After traversing a complicated path that only those who know the path can take, the place they arrived at was a secret warehouse where the golden treasure was stored.
“You saved our lives, so you should give us all your money, but that is unrealistic.”
“I don’t want to go that far.”
“It would be nice to set a certain amount in return, but how about this instead? From here, Eunkong takes as much as he can take at one time. You must not use a cart instead, nor must you accept help from others.”
“Are you even acknowledging that I brought it out?”
“exactly.”
“Can I use my inner energy?”
“Of course.”
“Then you’ll be carrying quite a lot, right?”
“If it weren’t for Eunkong, we would all have died, so we should compensate for this.”
“Thank you.”
“I will give you a test from now on. “Are you okay?”
“That’s enough.”
I slowly walked into the treasure trove.

When Geommugeuk entered the treasure trove, Geum Sa-yeon asked Geum Asu.
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you are a martial arts expert, you may take more than you think. “Isn’t it a waste?”
Geum Sa-yeon smiled and said it as if it were a joke, but deep down she was worried that her father might get sick later. My father was a man who devoted his life to accumulating wealth. However, a large part of that life could have disappeared in someone else’s hands.
But my father’s reaction was unexpected.
“Is there something more precious in there than what we protected today?”
Geum Asu patted his daughter’s shoulder.
“It’s enough for you and Yang to live together. “If I lost you guys too...”
Geum Asu couldn’t bear to continue speaking. All his life he had heard that even if he was pricked with a needle, not a single drop of blood would come out, but at least he was a person who shed both blood and tears when it came to his children. It’s just that I didn’t have a chance to express it.
Rather, there was something Geum Asu desperately realized during this opportunity.
I regretted so much that I had neglected my relatives in order to accumulate wealth, even though they were my relatives for whom I would have given all my wealth.
And another reason why it is not worth giving away all your possessions.
There are many types of death. There is nothing wrong with dying while striving for a certain purpose. In this case, it was a betrayal by a trusted vassal. He probably wouldn’t have been able to close his eyes even after death.
“I’m not an ordinary person from Sohyeop.”
“yes. “Even though he was young, his skills were not average.”
“What I saw was not just skill.”
“Then what else did you see?”
“I’ve been thinking about how to express that for a while, but I couldn’t come up with it. “That small cooperative has a momentum that cannot be expressed in words.”
He had met many people throughout his life. Even at such a young age, it was my first time seeing someone with such a relaxed and unique atmosphere.
“You can make money again, but a relationship with someone like that will only come once in your life.”
Moreover, the opponent was young. Geum Asu hoped that his relationship with that young man would continue in the next era of Geumjang led by his daughter and grandson.
“So it doesn’t matter if you take it all. “The more you take, the deeper your relationship with us will become.”

I can assure you.

I found a carriage in the village, loaded it up with treasures, and headed to the bridge.
On the way back, they shared and sold gold and treasure. Since it was a quantity that could not be digested in one place, whenever I stopped by the city, I stopped at several places to sell the jewelry.
Having wandered around the midfield all my life, I knew very well what was where and where to sell it. Except for the Yamyeongju and Pidokju, all gold items and jewels were sold.
So, I left the money I bought to the most trustworthy companies, Jungwon Battlefield and Daeryeonjeonjang Pungwonjang. The money I took like that amounted to a whopping 3.8 million nyang. It was a lot more money than I expected.
‘Thank you, Golden Pearl. I don’t know about you, but this money will become the cornerstone of an organization that will become a legend in the future.’
He left 3.5 million nyang on the battlefield and returned with only 300,000 nyang in vouchers.
As soon as I returned to school, I went to Cheonmajeon and met my father. As always, my father was protecting Cheonmajeon like a mountain.
As I walked the red carpet of the Road of Blood, this question suddenly occurred to me.
My father will be here several times a day, listening to Sima Ming’s reports and making important decisions. Some people live and others die because of that decision.
Will my father be satisfied with this life?
Could it be that my father, like me and Ian, was pushed to the position of Heavenly Demon? What you truly want is hidden deep in your heart.
“I heard you were expelled from school.”
“I went there to make money.”
“Why money?”
“You can’t live off your father’s money forever, right? “I think we’ll need it a lot in the future.”
“What are you going to use it for?”
“I want to own a private organization.”
“A private organization?”
My father’s expression became slightly harsh.
“Don’t the Mazons each have their own minions? “To deal with them, I also need an organization.”
“It can’t happen. If you have it, your brother will want it too. The mazon’s blood relatives and disciples will also try to get it. “Not possible!”
I didn’t think I could get permission all at once. It wasn’t something urgent right now.
If one or two good subordinates gather together and the water overflows, then they will not be able to prevent the dam from collapsing.
I didn’t press and my father didn’t mention it anymore.
“Did you make a lot of money?”
“Yes, I earned a lot.”
I took out a thick envelope from my pocket and held it out in front of me.
“This is my father’s.”
When my father held out his hand, the envelope in my hand flew through the air and went to my father. It was a piece of empty space that contained the secrets of extremely soft yet rapid rise.
My father checked the inside of the envelope. What he was carrying was a voucher worth 100,000 nyang.
“What kind of money is this?”
“This is my father’s allowance.”
“what?”
My father was surprised. The reason I was so surprised was not because it was an amount too large to receive as pocket money, but because of the word pocket money.
“I have a lot of money.”
“I know. He is the richest person in the world. “The money I just gave you is my first allowance as a thank you for giving birth to me and raising me.”
My father looked down at the slip for a moment and suddenly asked.
“Are you flattering me?”
“From now on, I will flatter you so much that it will be embarrassing, but not as much as this allowance. I wanted to give it to you at least once. Then rest. father.”
I bowed politely and walked down the bloody road.
My father’s gaze burned the back of my head until I left there. You must be very confused right now.
He would have been the first Heavenly Demon in history to receive an allowance from his son.
