Episode 8
Have you ever felt like you were playing into someone’s hands?
Jang Sam-tae, who was sitting in an alley where people didn’t come and go often, felt that way and slumped his shoulders. I thought I was free from Dan Woo-hyeon’s clutches, but all of that was in Dan Woo-hyeon’s head.
The reason he took the sack was undoubtedly to prepare for something like this.
‘You son of a bitch!’
The complaints don’t stop.
No matter what, you’re putting your hand in someone else’s pocket.
Even in the world of Danwuhyeon, there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done, but this time it went a bit too far.
‘Are you going to inform the prefectural office?’ Jang Sam-tae thought.
Dan Woo-hyeon is captured by the police.
The scene of him kneeling in the center of the prefectural office and being called a thief.
A smile appeared on his lips, as if he was happy just thinking about it.
“But that doesn’t mean it won’t work out the way you want...”
Jang Sam-tae, who eventually stopped laughing, leaned his body against the wall and sighed. Imagination is always just imagination.
Even if you take Dan Woo-hyeon to the county office and feed him taffy, will you believe the words of Jangju of the Honam Danga or the words of a beggar who has no money?
No matter which prefecture he was, he would believe in Dan Woo-hyeon, and even if he did not, considering the majesty of Dan Woo-hyeon heard in the world and his relationship with Heung Won-chang, it was a fight he could not win no matter what he did.
“Damn it...”
If this happens, you have no choice but to find money by any means necessary. Although the journey was a journey, he had no desire to return to Dan Woo-hyeon again, so he had to pioneer his own path.
The easiest way is... pickpocketing?
Jang Sam-tae thought for a moment and shook his head.
I washed my hands.
Didn’t you promise to never do something like that again right after you met Dansomi?
Although it was ridiculous for a thief to change his mind, Jang Sam-tae still wanted to keep his promise to Dan So-mi.
So what is the easiest way to make money other than those illegal things?
‘Haomun?’
Going into Haomun and extorting money?
If you think about it, it seemed like he was pickpocketing or something similar, but since he accepted it politely, I didn’t think he would feel guilty at all.
But Jang Sam-tae shook his head. It was clear that if he did something like that, his position would be immediately revealed to Woohyun.
So, the other way to think about it is to catch the criminals and collect the current prize money.
Or extorting money from such people.
Jang Sam-tae got up from his seat and headed towards the street. This is because it is a place where the most people come and go, and accidents occur frequently.
‘If you’re a bully or something, just catch one.’
Jang Sam-tae’s eyes flashed and he looked around like a hawk.
The fierce gaze it was aiming at seemed like it was full of intent to rip off anyone who got caught, whether it was punching them or punching them.
He did not seem to have the slightest sense of guilt since he was admonishing them and taking the money earned through crime in a fair manner, but he did not seem to be aware that this appearance itself bore a strong resemblance to Dan Woo-hyeon.
Jang Sam-tae, who had been looking around for a while, suddenly fixed his gaze on a person. The cloth was pressed so deeply over the head that even the face could not be seen, and the movements were quite strange.
He had a stocky physique, probably because he was quite skilled at martial arts, but since his face was not visible, I couldn’t tell how old he was.
The only problem was the way he played with his hands.
In an instant, I close the distance with people and pass them by. The time it takes for the bag hidden in my arms to pop out and escape is literally a split second.
In fact, the person himself did not even know that something had been stolen, meaning that the theft within the company had reached the heavens.
“hey! at there!”
Jang Sam-tae jumped out and shouted harshly. The man, who had tried to sneak away with the crowd, flinched and ran away.
“omg?”
“It’s mom!”
Disappears from sight in an instant.
Isn’t it strange to think that we still hear the name Geumwangsu?
“Hmm... Well... Actually, Nobu is curious about that too.”
Namgungcheon also nodded and agreed.
When I didn’t know anything, I thought I was just learning a rare exercise, but the moment I checked Jang Sam-tae’s physical condition, I knew that wasn’t the case.
In that case, he was an old man who should have died, but it was good for him to be alive.
“Why are you thinking so seriously, you guys?”
“hmm? “Do you know something?”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze turned to Sadohak.
Sadohak, who was walking with a nonchalant expression and gnawing on the kudzu he had just plucked, seemed to find the two people with questioning expressions very funny.
“That old man. I spend all the money I have on buying elixirs. Even if you say you are an innate guardian, it is energy after all, so there is no way there are no elixirs to control it.”
“Huh, then in the end, stealing is also for survival.”
Only then did Namgung-cheon nod his head in understanding.
In the first place, they were just going around stealing.
There will be no need to use a lot of internal strength, so just avoid the fight. If you don’t get caught when invading, you don’t need to use light attack, so you can save as much as possible.
The empty energy is restored by taking the elixir, so it is being healed naturally to some extent, if not completely.
So it is still alive.
“That’s funny. “They steal to survive, and they die every time they steal.”
“Isn’t that their nature? To be honest, if you rob it properly, you will have enough money to buy elixirs, so you are killing two birds with one stone.”
“It’s amazing that these things called Geumwangsoo have been like that for generations... If it were me, I would be sick of it.”
Nam Gung-cheon shook his head.
Even though he knows he will die, he cannot stop stealing. Since he took on the name Geumwangsu, he was destined to become a thief.
However, he realizes that his life will be diminished from the moment he steals and uses light, so he cannot quit for the sake of survival.
The vicious cycle continues endlessly.
Namgungcheon clicked his tongue.
“This is why the things called magic skills are not something you can learn.”
“Magic is as good as magic. “Are you comparing that trash’s martial arts skills to this old man’s martial arts skills?”
Sadohak, who was following behind, stopped walking.
He did not like Namgungcheon’s attitude of ignoring Demonic Gong.
As he frowned and looked at him appreciatively, Nam Gung-cheon, who was walking ahead of him, also stopped and looked at Sadohak and smiled.
“Isn’t that wrong? Are there people who have mastered magic and become proficient at it?”
“Hey? me!”
“Not you!”
“So you’re saying that all the other members of the Demonic Cult are idiots?”
Namgungcheon laughed again at Sadohak’s words.
The fact that he didn’t answer seemed like he was saying yes.
A storm raged
around Sadohak, who was looking at him intently .
As the energies, which were completely different from before, began to dissipate, Namgungcheon’s soft energy also flowed out, as if fighting against him.
Dan Woo-hyeon just looked at the two people.
The swirling wind and strong forces collided, creating a tremendous sense of intimidation.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon felt the momentum they gave off and let out a small sigh.
“Is there really nothing to fight about? “You can’t even do it with kids, tsk tsk.”
Saying those words, he slowly walked ahead.
The two old men, who were about to clash violently, flinched at the sound of voices coming from them and slowly calmed down with awkward expressions.
