Ma-ui spoke in a calm tone.
“As a long-time friend, I ask you to please, Elder, do not make the same mistake.”
“you…….”
If it was just Doksan-gak, it would be different, but if Dokma sets out for revenge, it would be a different story. He is a veteran of the previous generation who even he cannot guarantee victory.
‘His return would be a major scandal for the school. And given his personality, I’m sure he wouldn’t have wanted to let me know in advance. But the fact that he told me… ‘
That means Jang Seo is an important person.
Again, my gaze turned to him.
It looks extremely ordinary. But that makes it even more difficult to understand.
He was clearly a stray dog from the suburbs and was rotting away in the counterintelligence unit. But not only did he build up Chilsogung to this extent, he also withstood his own Bukmyeongsingong.
But that’s not all. Suddenly, a demon appears and says that it is my aura and that he is risking his life to protect me.
‘What on earth is your identity?’
Going around and around, eventually coming back to the same place.
Just then, the magician, carrying the luggage on his back, put an end to Milesung’s doubts.
“This child is the incarnation of Him and His everything. Just know that much.”
“… … !”
Miles’ mouth opened slightly.
‘What does that mean… … is that child the successor of Dokma… …?!’
Is there any identity more clear than this? No, there isn’t one even if you look for it.
then…….
He is a seasoned political expert. He spoke with a serious look in his eyes at the end of his speech.
“Have you eaten?”
It was a point where their relationship entered a new phase.
*
There was chaos as if Mark had been struck by lightning.
‘Hey, the Gyeongcheonchae has collapsed!’
How could I not be shocked when the main building where the head of the household was staying suddenly collapsed?
Even though there was no fire, they were carrying buckets of water and crying.
Fortunately, there were no casualties because Milesung had told Jang Seo not to let anyone in.
After the commotion ended, Jang-seo and Ma-ui followed their guide and moved to a quiet, isolated annex.
“The master will be here soon. Please wait a moment.”
The spacious, antique-style space is filled with plants and has an elegantly placed side table in the middle for you to sit across from.
It was the place where Milesung often spent his time lost in thought.
“I survived thanks to you, brother. Thank you.”
Without even having time to look around, he started by expressing his gratitude.
“That’s not how family greets each other. Saying you’re leaving is the greeting. You don’t do what you’re told and you do useless things… Tsk!”
The magician sitting next to me had a look of regret on his forehead, perhaps because he was very upset that I had left Doksan Pavilion without saying anything.
Why does that sight make me feel so affectionate and smile?
As I burst out laughing without realizing it, Ma-ui raised his voice and made an even angrier expression.
“Is that funny? Is that funny? If I hadn’t shown up on time, I would have been left behind like Kyungcheonchae by now!”
“Are you that upset that I came without even saying hello?”
“It’s noisy!”
I felt grateful and happy, so I grabbed the magician’s hand and said.
“Next time, I’ll definitely be the first to say hello. And I’ll take care of myself too.”
“Okay, okay, you punk. Get your hands off me! You filthy bastard.”
“yes.”
“Anyway, this rascal. Gosh, how come I end up getting involved with a guy like this.”
I cough for no reason, looking at the distant mountains. It’s nothing special, but I feel warm inside. Still, I guess the month we spent together was quite a big deal. It’s nice to see you like this.
The dangerous friendship deepened even further.
Only then did Jang-seo look around and speak.
“But I didn’t know there was a place like this in Maga.”
“It’s a place that only very special people are allowed to see. I’ve only been here three times, so I’ve said it all. It seems like you really like it.”
“How could that be my fault? It’s all thanks to Doksan Pavilion.”
“You still don’t know much about the elders. You’re not the kind of person who would treat someone based on their social status. On the contrary, you’re the opposite. You like them all, but there’s one. You were concerned about that one social status. That’s why I tried to kill you, and that was resolved, so I brought you here.”
Is that how it is? I asked with wide eyes.
“But how do you know that?”
“There are two ways to please an elder. Either kill him or take care of him. That’s just the way he is.”
Oh, who would call him a demon? He has a very evil temper.
Knock knock!
While we were talking like that, the front door finally opened and he finally came in.
Elder Miles.
He had already changed his clothes.
“You seem to be on pretty good terms.”
He walked over with dignity and sat down across from me. His face looked so relaxed that I wondered if it was him who had just turned Kyungcheonchae into powder.
Jang Seo also greeted him warmly with a smile.
“I didn’t know there was such a quiet place in Maga.”
“Hehe, there are times when you just want to concentrate on a conversation quietly without any interruptions.”
“It seems like a good place for us.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
As the two talked like old friends, Ma-ui, who was standing next to him, stuck out his tongue inwardly.
‘Anyway, these bastards. Just now, they were talking about life and death, but when… . . . ‘
I understand that Miles is a powerful politician, but Jang was a very annoying person the more you looked at him.
How can he be so calm while talking to someone who was almost torn to pieces by the Bukmyeongshinkong? Most people would cringe just by meeting them, let alone laughing.
But Jang went beyond being confident and led the conversation.
“I didn’t know that Assistant Jang had a connection with Doksan-gak.”
“Isn’t that the case with all relationships at our school? There are more things that need to be hidden than things that need to be revealed.”
Even now, the elder cleverly answered the question of why he didn’t know until now.
Besides, it makes sense.
Since it is a place where accumulating grudges is so common, the more you cherish a relationship, the more you have to hide it, which is the nature of the Demonic Cult.
Especially if the legend and the enemy are like a stone scattered along the roadside, it is quite possible that this will happen.
“Then the reason you were a suburban person is… … .”
As the questioning continued, the magician let out a shallow breath and cut him off.
“Elder. How long will you hold back on asking questions? If you still have doubts, then we will rise now.”
Although he is not as shameless as those two, Ma-ui is also an elder of the Demonic Cult. He is not a great man who would be happy with such treatment.
‘That’s great, brother.’
Jang Yi-seo smiled sinisterly at the timely intervention.
Identity verification ends here.
Miles also seemed to agree, opening his mouth in a cautious voice.
“I want Mark.”
“yes.”
“Haven’t you ever thought that it’s already too late?”
“I thought it was a good time.”
“The damage to Mark today is too great. The Maga Seven-Way Family has collapsed, and Jangja has been defeated. If no one is held responsible, the world will laugh at Mark and make fun of him.”
“But there are also gains.”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you have two children?”
“… … !”
Miles’ eyebrows furrowed greatly. A child.
“You talk as if nothing ever happened.”
“That’s not what I meant. But what has it been like so far? Two sons were born under the care of the wealthy. The children have failed. The world of Maga has come to an end. This is how the world sees Maga.”
It was a truly blunt attack. The harsh words made the 6th Elder Ma-ui cough and fidget. However, Milesung was surprisingly calm. Instead, he raised his head as if telling him to continue.
“But today, through the confrontation between the two, it has been revealed to the world that all of that was nonsense. People will talk. Oh, these two are indeed the children of Maga. I thought it was setting, but the sun rises again. And there are two of them. From now on, it is the era of Maga. Something like that.”
It’s Cheongsanyusu. Milesung slightly raised the corners of his lips as if he was satisfied. It was natural.
‘Because you, the elder, are the one who cares about status and honor more than anyone else.’
Jang Seo drove a wedge into this.
“Of course, the results of today’s match will be known to everyone. However, if Chilsogung and Maga remain silent, the results will be buried and only praise for Maga will remain. Both sides will be winners.”
“Hmm… … .”
A deep slurring noise is leaking out of Miles’ mouth. This means that everything has already been done.
“I will turn Chilsogung into a small devil’s palace.”
Finally, the main topic. From now on, it’s a battle of confidence, not brains.
“Yes. The Seven Princes will become the minor sect leader.”
Jang Yi-seo answered with an expression that showed no sign of wavering.
“You’re so confident.”
“That’s why I risked my life and came all the way here.”
“Do you think getting one more Mark will change things?”
“Why do you think there is only one? Mark is the beginning.”
Miles’ eyebrows twitch.
“The elders and the great lords are deeply immersed in the shadow of the Grand Duke. Just as the members of the Oryongdang cheer for the Duke. Since there is no apparent relationship, it may seem like nothing special… … . It is the result of a long period of time entangled in an invisible spider web.”
“No matter how much effort and dedication you put into it, it’s all just a sand castle until you become a cult leader.”
“A sandcastle built under an eave that is sheltered from wind and rain is quite durable and sturdy.”
“In a yard where even the Gyeongcheonchae has collapsed, what trouble can a mere eaves afford? If you help me, I will become a tidal wave.”
“… … What can’t be done with words?”
“Compared to the results achieved today, my words are somewhat lacking.”
Ha, Milesung stuck out his tongue and shook his head. He was cheeky and reckless. What was the result of today? Chilsogung defeated Maga.
What more can a loser teach a winner?
“They say that in the past, once the Dokma opened his mouth, there was no one who could stop him.”
Is that so? Well, it’s not usually stubborn. As Jang I-seo smiled without giving a specific answer, Maileong was lost in thought for a while.
Then he said softly at the end of the song.
“There will be no attack on the Chilsogung Palace from Maga first.”
Okay. I’ve gotten over one big hill.
“One, don’t think that we’re on the same side. As I said before, all Chilsogung has shown us is potential.”
Does that mean he’ll stay still but won’t help? In short, he’ll wait and see a little longer before making a decision.
I understand.
Gaining support on campus isn’t just about power and influence.
I had to build up achievements that would win everyone’s trust.
‘As expected, it’s not easy to get over it. It’s a shame, but for now, just tying up Maga is enough. If we were to become enemies, this would be the biggest reef.’
Jang quickly shook off his regret and answered with a bright smile.
“I will make sure it doesn’t take too long.”
“Don’t expect it.”
The two people’s earnest eyes met in the air.
It was the moment when a new relationship began for Jang Il-jang and Il Jang-ro.
And at the peaceful ending, Ma-ui also said with a warm smile.
“Have you eaten yet?”
The monopoly is over.
