Chapter 31

Episode 31: You are the crazy one.

My glass of alcohol, which was heading towards my mouth, stopped in midair.

Want me to be your water? no way?

“What do you mean?”

“I’m asking you to be mine.”

I didn’t expect the cutting board to come out like this. He was publicly known to support his brother. But you’re abandoning your brother and choosing me? It was truly the most unexpected moment since I met Hyeolcheon Doma.

“This Confucius.”

“yes.”

“Do you want to become the Heavenly Demon?”

“I want to be.”

I answered without hesitation.

“Then drink that drink. “I will be your back.”

“You support your brother, right?”

“That was my choice when I didn’t know you were such a crazy person.”

“I’ve become a useful person, I’ve become a crazy person, I’m busy.”

You are the crazy one.

I killed his younger brother, ruined his student, and imprisoned his subordinate. However, this old man is offering to be my ally. This old man is a man who will sell anything for his own ambitions.

“I killed your younger brother.”

“If you leave your parents’ arms, you are a stranger. Do you feel the pain of your intestines being cut when a relative dies? Tell them not to laugh. “As a human being, the thorns under your fingernails hurt more.”

Everything this old man says now is sincere.

“Anyway, we haven’t officially joined hands with the Archduke... Even if we do, our minds can change as much as we want.”

“If you win the elder, it will be like winning a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses. But...”

“What are you hesitating about?”

“I don’t know if I can trust you. “You could abandon me just like you’re abandoning your brother.”

“If it’s time to throw it away, you should throw it away. Do you think it’s me who would do this because you trust me? “Until now, I’ve never trusted anyone.”

“Then why did you choose me?”

“I thought I could bet my fate on the madness of you pushing forward so fearlessly.”

“In the end, it means that I chose him because he was crazy.”

“It’s going to eat everything up with that madness.”

If I were a young man at this age, I might have completely believed Hyeolcheondoma’s words out of the pride of being chosen.

But I know well the despicable tricks that old people use to take advantage of young people.

Do you want to become the Heavenly Demon?

The question asked earlier is similar. These words make you think that if you hold his hand, you can become a Heavenly Demon.

The question I am asking now has the same intention.

“If you become the Heavenly Demon, what kind of Heavenly Demon would you be?”

“At least in the church that I rule, the Mazon will not be able to put external pressure on the Nether States.”

“ha ha ha. “As expected, my eyes were accurate.”

That snarky attitude of never showing it even when he’s in a bad mood.

It’s all the old man’s old tricks to mislead me about my decision at this moment.

For now, I politely declined. In the push and pull of human relationships, if you are pulled by the pull, you become unattractive prey.

“I am grateful that you think so highly of me, but now I feel like it is time to do my job. What would your father think? “I entrusted you with an important responsibility, but wouldn’t you say that you don’t do any work and just do politics?”

“I hide with the leader. “Is this really a wise choice?”

“What does it mean?”

“If you just let me go, I’ll pretend it never happened. “I will personally tell you about Majon’s anger so that no harm will come to you.”

He also tried to appease him like this.

He had never experienced such a desperate situation in his life. Looking at the records, it was a life of success from starting as a demon to becoming a demon of ten demons and becoming a demon of a hundred demons. He had never suffered, and no one had ever argued about his life.

So he didn’t know how to act in this situation. Instead of sincerely apologizing and asking for forgiveness, they only used cajoling and threats in the same way they had lived in the world until now.

Unlike yesterday, I treated Yang calmly.

“Yang Mu-in. Please sit down. “Today, the Namdo Order officially announced that it regrets this incident.”

Then Yang Tae was overjoyed.

“I told you so. Mazon will never abandon me. Now, release me.”

Yang Tae’s expression became gentle at the thought that he would soon be released.

“Let’s forget everything about the past.”

I calmly asked his attitude as if he would forgive me.

“Why do you think I am treating you so politely now?”

“Isn’t that what you want to end on a good note?”

“no. “Because it’s the last time I see you.”

“Is that what you mean? “After I leave, we won’t see each other again.”

Yang Tae’s face was full of joy. Now is the time to find the true expression that face should make.

“I think you’re mistaken.”

“mistaken?”

“The Nandu Sect did not express regret to us, but to you. “I feel sorry for you for tarnishing the reputation of the Namdo Order.”

“...what?”

“And I officially apologized for causing this unpleasant incident. I also apologized to the victims and promised compensation. “I also said I would make sure something like this never happens again.”

“What... bullshit? Until now, Namdojong has never officially apologized for something like this. No matter what incident happens.”

Yang Tae’s voice was trembling.

“It would be an honor. “By changing the Namdo Order.”

“Don’t lie!”

“Well then, I hope you have a pleasant life in prison.”

I got up from my seat. Later, Yang Tae started yelling and making a fuss. I told him to just leave it alone. Because today was the last day of that damn thing.

Instead, he must take responsibility for his actions, for which he never showed any sincere reflection until the very end.

I gave instructions to Seo Dae-ryong, who was waiting outside the door.

“Contact the jail and send them to the most difficult place.”

“yes.”

Our school’s prison is hell even if you go to a comfortable area. It is not just a saying that it is better to be beheaded than to go to prison. With that personality, he wouldn’t be able to survive in prison. The same goes for my son.

I didn’t pity them.

If I hadn’t intervened, they would have lived their whole lives complaining, and the victim, Kwak Soo’s family, would have lived a miserable life. There must have been Kwaksoo that I don’t know about before, and other Kwaksoos will continue to appear in the future.

Investigator Jong-hwa, who was threatened, would also have his future life completely ruined.

So I have no sympathy or regret whatsoever.

“What happened?”

“what?”

“Why did the Namdo Order issue an apology statement? “This is unprecedented.”

“Go and ask. “Why did you do that?”

“If I could, I would. “If you go to Namdojong in the current climate, you probably won’t be able to walk.”

“no. “Now, I will be able to walk safely out of the Namdo Order dance hall.”

I added as I walked down the hallway with great strides, leaving Seo Dae-ryong saying he didn’t know why.

“Until the next two days.”
