Chapter 30

Episode 30: The reason why Karl cries.

Seo Dae-ryong, who went out with his executioners, returned in vain.

“Yang Tae resisted arrest. In the realm of the Namdo sect, the justification was that demons could protect themselves. “I tried to drag him by force, but his subordinates came forward, so I had no choice but to retreat.”

Since he was a white devil, he had a hundred subordinates under his direct command. If he refuses to comply, it will not be easy to arrest him.

The investigators were excited as their morale soared.

“It’s disrespectful to us.”

“We must forcibly arrest them, even if it means taking all the executioners.”

The name of the song calmed the excitement of the young investigators and presented a cautious argument.

“You have to handle it carefully. “If there is a conflict with the demon, the executioners will be seriously injured.”

“But we can’t just move on like this, can we?”

While the investigators were arguing, I handed them a document.

“Now send this to him.”

“omg!”

What I showed was a summons, and the reason everyone was surprised was because of the crime I wrote on it.

The crime of rebellion.

“Will I be charged with rebellion for refusing to comply with arrest?”

It was a content that the veteran did not even know the name of the song.

“Okay. We are appointed directly by the religious leader, and Baekdogwi is appointed by the Hyeolcheondoma. Our orders and the orders of Hyeolcheon Doma cannot conflict. In the end, it’s like he disobeyed the leader’s orders. There is no need to go directly. “If you send a summons in person, they will come running.”

he will come If he makes a mistake and sparks the charge of rebellion among all the demons, he will die at the hands of the demons.

“all right.”

Seo Dae-ryong received the summons and ran straight away.

As expected, less than half an hour after the summons was delivered, Yang Tae appeared at Hwangcheongak in person.

The word ‘treason’ was a magic word that made even the most foul-tempered opponent obedient.

But although I could get him to come here, I couldn’t make him confess.

Even after an hour had passed since investigators began questioning him, he did not admit to having threatened to kill Jonghwa’s younger sister.

As I had expected, I went into the interrogation room myself.

Yang Tae was sitting on a chair with his internal energy suppressed, and when I entered, he flinched in surprise. No matter how good the white devil’s spirit was, it couldn’t compare to my strength these days after cutting down the demon lord.

“Gongja Lee.”

“You should call me Hwangcheongakju, not Lee Gongja.”

“I was rude. Footnote. The summons said it was a charge of rebellion. “What do you mean?”

“I think this is the only way we can see our sheep.”

When I smiled and spoke softly, Yang Tae also responded softly.

“I apologize for not complying with arrest. As you know, aren’t there a lot of things you have to pay attention to when you work in an organization? “I have dignity in the eyes of my subordinates.”

“I understand.”

“It wasn’t an issue that would become this big in the first place. “It happened because of their prank.”

“No, there is that side to it.”

When I obediently accepted his words to see what would happen, Yang-tae seemed to think it was right and began to cajole me.

“I thought he would be someone I could communicate with. “I think we can resolve this well.”

“how?”

“Isn’t this your first time taking on a major responsibility? As we run Hwangcheongak in the future, we will need a lot of outside help. “It will cost a lot of money.”

Although he was saying it differently, he ultimately meant that he would pay a bribe.

“Where is that? If you want to become an official successor in the future, you will absolutely need our help. I guess right now, everyone is lining up for the Archduke...”

“If you can help me, that would be great. Please help me a lot.”

Then Yang Tae’s expression suddenly brightened.

“As expected, you are a generous person. I will take good care of you from now on. And we’ll create a good spot sometime soon.”

He looked at me and quietly got up from his seat.

“Where are you going?”

“Isn’t the story over?”

“Didn’t you mean that you would help me when I get out of prison later?”

Yang Tae’s expression hardened at the word prison.

“What kind of joke makes you so upset?”

I looked up at him and expressed my cold prayers.

“I had a moment recently where I felt something new about you. When I won the dance and made a wish to the sect leader, I shouted this to myself. Yeah, that’s it. “If you’re smart, you should make a wish like that.”

“I think it was a really good wish.”

“Yes, it started from that day.”

Hyeolcheondoma emptied his glass and filled it again. They haven’t given me a drink yet. He started drinking again.

Hyeolcheon Doma was sitting against the wall, leaning against the great sword that was stuck behind his back, and compared to his skinny body, the overwhelming size of the sword aroused admiration.

“It’s a really nice knife.”

“Aren’t you afraid of that sword?”

“Why should I be afraid?”

“You make my sword cry.”

I did not avoid the gaze of the blood chopping block that seemed to be flying towards me.

“Is it because of me that Karl is crying?”

“Then why are you crying?”

“I cry because I feel sad.”

“what?”

“A disciple gave me a mountain attack at a martial arts competition, and another disciple came to me and insulted my subordinate. The younger brother used the demon army to satisfy his own self-interest, and the subordinate threatened to kill the Hwangcheongak investigator. “When a sword cries, it cries because it laments that those around its owner do not live up to its owner’s character.”

The corner of Hyecheon Doma’s mouth curled up.

“Your speaking skills are top-notch.”

“You’re just reciting facts, but you’re becoming eloquent.”

“What you said is wrong.”

“Please teach me.”

“First of all, you said that those around you don’t measure up to my personality, but that’s not true. They just suit my personality. “I am only that kind of person.”

As expected, he is a formidable old man. People with high pride or desire for honor are easier to deal with.

“And strictly speaking, it’s not their fault. “It’s your fault.”

“It’s because of me?”

“When a dragon ascends, it brings wind and rain.”

“Who is the dragon?”

“Who are you? “Aren’t my people being blown away by the rain and wind?”

“What kind of ascension is this? “Loaches cause flat wind waves in muddy water.”

“The loach becomes a snake and the snake becomes a dragon.”

Once again, Hyeolcheondoma emptied his glass. He still drank alone.

“shit! “It’s all good, but why is my person being swept away?”

Hyeolcheondoma put down his drink with a lament and directly revealed the purpose of his visit.

“Free the trapped white devil. “Because of you, our Namdo sect’s morale is at its lowest these days.”

“If they are investigated and found not guilty, they will be released.”

The Hyeolcheon Doma began to emit magical energy. Just as I felt the intensity of this demon energy before, I was able to understand why my father said that I could not handle the Blood Heaven Chopping Demon just yet. Certainly, Mazon’s martial arts are of a different level.

“Let me give you some advice.”

“Don’t do it.”

“what?”

Hyecheondoma’s expression distorted for a moment, but I calmly continued speaking.

“If you came to ask for a favor, just ask. Asking for favors and giving advice. Don’t do that. Young people these days view people like that unfavorably.”

It was a situation that made me angry, but the old ginger was very spicy. Instead, he collected the magical energy that was pouring out.

“That is correct. “Nowadays, it’s rare to find someone who gives such direct statements.”

“You must be on guard. Stagnant water tends to rot.”

“Who wants to be stagnant? “If you soak in it, you may miss the opportunity to take it easy and let it go.”

“But we’re not soaking in rotten water, are we? Please take this opportunity to wash away the rotten water. “He is not worth protecting.”

Hyeolcheondoma emptied the glass he was holding. After refreshingly emptying the glass, he held it out to me.

“Would you like to have my drink?”

It was the first drink offered to me since we sat down together. I obediently accepted the drink.

Hyeolcheondoma said while pouring the drink.

“Okay, I’ll wash away the rotten water.”

“You are truly wise.”

At the very moment I was about to empty my glass, Hyeolcheondoma said something meaningful.

“Instead, from now on, Lee Gongja will be my water.”
