A Spy’s Demonic Life - Chapter 21

21.
What I wanted was simple.
“A sincere apology. Whether it’s the Sa brothers or the person behind it. I need to hear that much from everyone. Let’s stop there for now.”
“what?”
Mao, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth wide in shock. What the hell is this? What did you hear from the Si brothers?
“Are you crazy? Why did you go that far? Why did you go this far?”
Mao whispered in bewilderment. Zhang Yi snorted at this.
“Why? Don’t you want to receive it?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but why do you keep making things bigger?”
“You’re raising it?”
“Uh. Do you think those people will apologize?”
Is an apology a big deal? Is it so hard to say a word? The longer someone has been in power, the more difficult it is. But what’s even funnier is that victims like Mao understand and let it go.
Jang-seo opened his eyes and spoke like a scary older brother scolding his younger brother who had done wrong.
“My lord the Seven Princes, remember this clearly. There is no such thing as half-heartedness anymore. Once you start a fight, you have to fight until someone gives up or dies. Otherwise, you will have to crawl all the way. Do you understand?”
“No… … I think so too… … .”
The Sa brothers are among the top 100 masters in our school. Are you saying that knowing that? Mao swallowed his words, his eyes fluttering.
One of them, Jang, pretended not to care and took the ticket from Ji Dae-ho.
“Then it is fine. Anyway… … I ask for your help, my lord.”
Ji Dae-ho laughed heartily and returned the favor.
‘A strange guy has come into Chilsogung. Cheonsan will soon become very noisy.’
To be honest, at first, while watching their conversation, I felt a flash of contempt. To be exact, it was anger towards the Seven Princes.
As he said, an apology may not be accepted. No, it will not be accepted.
But a master should not scold a subordinate who speaks the truth. That is something that only small-minded people like paper bowls would do.
On the other hand, Jang-seo… … .
Ji Dae-ho’s eyes changed again, like a cat that found a toy. Jang Yi-seo felt a chill down his spine for some reason, but he thought it was nothing and let it go.
Beep beep-
Ji Dae-ho put his hands together and whistled. Then, sssssss. The bamboo forest shook, and his men came rushing in and stood up in unison.
“This is the Seven Princes and their assistant, Jang So-hyeop. Be polite!”
Chuck! As soon as he finished speaking, the Horong Party members all simultaneously knelt down and raised their fists to their chests.
He is definitely a person who is good at organizing relationships.
Ji Dae-ho nodded briefly and looked at Chil-gong-ja, then bowed politely.
“I will tell you again once the investigation is concluded.”
“Oh, okay. Whatever.”
“Take it.”
Yes! The men carried the corpses and followed Ji Dae-ho through the forest. Then, before disappearing from sight, they turned around again, glanced at Jang Yi-seo, and disappeared.
As if saying hello and seeing each other again soon.
The long and arduous slaughterhouse raid was over.
Jang Seo and Mao, left alone, awkwardly looked around the Chilso Palace, which was overgrown with bushes.
“What do we do now?”
Mao asked. Zhang Yishu nodded languidly and answered.
“We have to fill them up. One by one. One by one.”
There are many things I am lacking in. However, everything will change so that I can proudly ascend to the rank of a junior sect leader one day.
“It’s just the two of us now, but someday… … .”
It was the moment when Jang Yi-seo was about to speak of his grand goal.
“Your Majesty! Your Aide! Are you safe?”
In the bamboo forest, Yongtae and Megi can be seen running towards them with worried faces. Jang I-seo bursts into laughter at the sight of this and continues.
“It’ll fill up soon.”
Mao and Zhang Yishe looked at each other and smiled.
I guess I’ll have to get some good sleep today.
It was a very tiring day.
*
Several days have passed since the slaughterhouse attacked Wolha Village.
The town returned to its daily routine as if nothing had happened, holding back its shocked hearts and clearing away the rubble.
In the meantime, Chwiseonru prepared a small banquet in the name of the Seven Princes to appease the people, and Jang Yi-seo settled down completely in Chilsogung as an assistant.
Choaaaak!
“Ouch! My eyes! What, what is it?! Can’t you see me sleeping? Why are you opening the window?”
“Because it’s morning.”
“Oh, you crazy person! Get out! You’re fired!”
Of course, there are still many things that need to be adjusted.
Still, he has succeeded in becoming the confidant of the Seven Princes, so this is a great step forward.
Jang-seo went out after thinking about what he wanted to send to the rock carving in his room. But when he opened the door and went out, Mao was standing in the narrow hallway, leaning against the wall and glaring at him with his eyes wide open.
“What is it?”
“Be honest with me. Why did you come to me?”
“I told you.”
“Little cult leader? That’s funny. You’re just waking me up from my deep sleep by knocking on the window in the morning, so what kind of cult leader are you? You just came here to get a free paycheck.”
“I like to eat a lot rather than just eat for free. Who cares about the pitiful salary?”
Mao didn’t know, but the amount Zhang Li earned was beyond imagination. He went to work empty-handed, and returned in a golden carriage. It was a level that was beyond anything a mere salary could provide.
Zhang Yishu snickered and passed by. Then Mao got angry, ran over, blocked his way, and swung his sword at him.
“Aha, now I get it. So you came here to sell my name and make a big buck? Right? You got caught, you punk.”
“Are you an idiot? If you sell the name of Chilgongja in Wolha Village, they will chase you with a knife demanding your money. What kind of person would take money from the gangsters?”
“So! Then shouldn’t we do something?”
“What is it?”
When I asked him again in bewilderment, Mao lowered his head, twisted his body like a hemp flower, and laughed.
“What should I say… … . For example, making the genius me, Mao, the best in the world.”
Are you crazy? Zhang Yishu glared at him with disgust and walked away. Then Mao came running back and said.
“Or you can just do it like that and have everyone kneel before me. You’re strong, aren’t you?”
Ha. Are you serious, you punk?
Jang Yiseo scratched his forehead. Do you think the leader of the small group is some kind of gang leader? Judging from the way he was wiping his lips with his tongue in excitement, it seems like he had been having a lot of nightmares for the past few days.
Of course, it is true that making Mao stronger and making the Five Dragons Party and the Presbyterian Church kneel at his feet are all things that must be done.
But before that, there’s something you need to know.
“Why do you think you have caught the eye of the cult leader?”
“Well, first of all, he’s strong. Manly and with a good body. That must have caught your eye. Or maybe you recognized him at first glance. You knew I was going to do it again.”
“Ha, this kid… … .”
“what?!”
“Listen carefully. What caught the eyes of the cult leader was not his looks, his good looks, or his personality. There was only one thing. He was just born well.”
At Zhang Yishu’s words, Mao pushed away from the wall and folded his arms. Then he tilted his head and said.
“That’s what I’m saying. A good person born well. That’s me.”
“It’s different.”
“What’s different?”
“It’s not that he was born well and became great, he’s just a good guy. To put it simply, Chil-gong-ja is of the Maga bloodline. That’s the reason.”
Mao’s eyes become sharp. This means that his pride has been hurt.
“That’s funny. No one has ever said that. And if that’s the case, it should have been that person, Myshin. Why did it have to be me, the illegitimate child?”
“Because that’s politics.”
Kung! Mao’s eyes shook at Zhang Yishu’s words.
It was the first time I had ever heard that.
It is said that he became a Seven Princes for political reasons. Even if you look at the list of names obtained from the Zhuge Liangshi, it is written that it was because of his dantian.
But Jang Seo’s thoughts were different.
‘That may be the reason. But it is not the real reason. The real reason is the leader’s attempt to balance the power using the two as an excuse.’
That was it. That was the real reason he was looking.
“The cult leader is someone who rose to the position of the Heavenly Demon with incredible martial arts skills without any support. He is also a very intelligent person. That is why he adopted the children of the three major families one by one. Everyone’s greed is not for their own position, but for the empty position of the minor cult leader.”
“what?!”
“Of course, it would be sincere to pass on the Heavenly Demonic Art to the one who became the leader of the sect. Someone has to take over. But the process would be very cruel. You could even die. They probably don’t have any affection for their children in the first place.”
Mao is seen frowning and looking deep in thought.
It would probably be confusing. After all, the leader of the Demonic Cult is a god-like being. Moreover, it would be even more disheartening to find out that his adoptive father chose him because of a family he despised.
‘But Jin Woo-kwang’s ruthlessness will actually be an opportunity for the martial arts world. Because what Mao will be attached to will be the martial arts world, not the Demonic Cult.’
A faint smile appeared on Jang I-seo’s lips.
“at last…….”
And Mao, who had finished thinking, opened his mouth.
“You chose me as the representative of Mark?”
No, what the fuck?!
“Okay. I’ll take you to that brutal fight. Now, what should I do first? Should I run up the mountain and come back? Wear a sandbag? That’s how I train.”
Ah, this kid. What should I do? Jang-i nodded reluctantly after mumbling his mouth.
“… … Yes. Okay. Go ahead.”
“Hahahaha! I am the best in the world!”
Come on! Mao runs out. The dust storm is blowing hard. Zhang Yishu stared blankly at this and spoke softly.
“Can you do it?”
I have to. What can I do? Still, it was clear that that fool was born with that kind of constitution. Even though he was just running without any luck, his leaps were amazing, as if he had performed lightness.
This is because the meridian through which the energy flows is like a cool, open pipe, so even if you just apply a little force, it circulates throughout the body in an instant.
Other people take elixirs and go through hell from the time they are born to get rid of the accumulated turbid energy in the path of that meridian… But I’m just like that.
“It may be true that he is the real representative of Maga.”
Jang Seo-ga came out to the porch at the end of the hallway, shook off his shoes, and went out of the house. Then he looked back and said.
“If you want to change, you have to change it. But first, this house.”
The tiles are crumbling, the wooden floor creaks, and the main gate has disappeared. At this point, let’s just call it an abandoned palace.
“If we’re going to change, let’s do something nice.”
Shh. A cruel smile appeared on Jang Yi-seo’s lips, as if he was wondering what on earth he was thinking.
Sssssss.
And as I turned my head toward the swaying bamboo forest, I saw a beautiful woman with a fairy-like wind (outer garment) wrapped around her head.
Jang Yi-seo then waved his hand vigorously and greeted him.
Then she also shyly raises her hand and says hello.
Mo Yong-ran.
No, it was Chwi Hong-ran, the owner of Chwiseonru.
It looks like the banquet preparations are complete.
Jang I-seo started walking.
