#Declaration of Surrender

‘You showed me something useless.’

Jang-seo saw her surprised and thought that he should be more careful in the future. In the world of martial arts, it was only common sense to show off one’s strength.

I never thought that the three energies would remain for this long.

But in the end, it was beneficial.

By dampening Myo Chae-kyung’s spirit, we were able to reduce unnecessary wars of attrition.

“Come in.”

“Huh? Huh. That’s what I was going to do.”

If someone saw you, they would think it was your house. Myo Chae-kyung tried to calm her surprised heart as she went inside.

As time goes by, his scent becomes stronger. I feel like a rat in front of a snake.

I came here to tease you, but I ended up feeling embarrassed for no reason.

I glanced around uselessly and glanced at Jang Il-seo from the corner of my eyes.

Then, my surprise grew even bigger.

‘Was this guy originally this big…?’

Up until now, I had clearly thought that the position of 3rd-grade assistant was not a good fit for Jang Il-seo.

Of course, the idea was still the same, but the meaning was different.

‘Why do I feel the aura of the Grand Master from him?’

Judging by the aura he was giving off right now, he seemed to be lacking even in the title of Elder. At this level, even if he were to be called the successor to Cheonma, it would be believable…

‘Does that make sense?’

It was a ridiculous thing to think about. I shook my head and dismissed it.

Could it be an illusion created by the memory of the defeat and shame I felt last night?

‘There’s no way that’s true! It feels so vivid!’

Of course not. Who is she? She is Myo Chae-kyung, the head of the Biryong Party.

If you can’t even guess this much, you should take off your clothes.

This just means that Jang Seo has become stronger than before.

“What are you looking at like that?”

When Jang Yi-seo asked bluntly, Myo Chae-kyung was startled and started talking nonsense.

“What did you see! There’s so much dust inside!”

Where in the world is there a dust-free prison?

“Keep your voice down. It’s ringing.”

“Huh, how picky someone is about to die… … .”

He said that, but his voice gradually decreased. At this, Jang-seo let out a chuckle.

In any case, her visit was a welcome development for Jang Seo.

‘The Biryongdangju is just a pawn of the Grand Duke. He is a pawn who is only used and if any trouble comes up, he will take full responsibility.’

And sorry, but Jang-seo also needed a long-term partner to move on his behalf right now.

If possible, a white hawk that flies well.

Of course, taming comes first.

“Are the ball-shaped objects safe?”

Myo Chae-kyung was once again greatly surprised by Jang Yi-seo’s question. This time, it was not the same confusion as before, but admiration.

‘Does this kid have feet in his eyes? How on earth did he figure out what was happening to those around him?’

Because he came running as soon as he heard the report that all of his entourage had been captured.

“How do you know that?”

In fact, there was no need to think about it for long. What was bad news for him was a blessing for her. That’s why she must have run over there smiling.

“Don’t worry too much. No one has touched you yet. Just kill you and everyone will be free.”

“Do you still think I did something wrong?”

“Huh, are you trying to trick me again?”

She snorted and threw a piece of paper on the floor.

“It came from your room.”

When Jang Yi-seo picked it up and opened it, he saw a concise sentence written on it.

【This month’s end. Cheonghae Lake. Request for contact No. 12.】

And underneath is the seal of the Murim Alliance stamped on it.

“What is this?”

“Isn’t this evidence? Clear evidence that you’re in league with the Murim Alliance.”

“haha.”

It’s so ridiculous that I forgot what to say. Do you know how big Cheonghaeho is? And it’s not 12, it’s 103.

Of course, I can’t say that.

“Isn’t this fabricated evidence? Who would have put a secret letter in my room? Surely you’re not trying to implicate me with this? That would be disappointing.”

“Huh, no matter how much I hate you, a cadre is a cadre. Do you know what kind of trouble I’ll get into later if I cut off your head with such flimsy evidence?”

Although Myo Chae-kyung is a bit cunning, her head is still spinning.

He said that he would not foolishly be fooled by the Grand Duke even though he knew it. The reason he tried to release Jang Yi-seo yesterday was similar to this.

“Then is there any other evidence?”

“Of course. Would I come here to laugh at you without any faith in you?”

Myo Chae-kyung continued with a sly smile.

“There is testimony that while you were working in the counterintelligence unit, you framed innocent people as spies, killed them, and stole a huge amount of money.”

“… … !”

“Your shabby house on the slopes of Mt. Gomi. You hid your treasures and the Murim Alliance seal you used back then inside, right? Oh ho ho!”

It’s Cheonmago. I found out about that place.

*

– Mid-slope of Mt. Gomi.

“Is this the place?”

In front of a ruined house collapsing on the edge of a cliff.

Caw, caw.

A place where no one seems to live except crows.

“Inside this is the Murim Alliance seal that Jang Yi-seo used and the treasure he had collected. You must find it!”

“yes-!”

The Biryongdang stormed into Jang I-seo’s home.

*

Jang-seo stroked his chin with a blank expression.

The treasure hidden in Cheonmago is enough to shake up the world. What’s more, there is clearly a seal of the Murim Alliance inside.

Clear evidence that, if revealed, can never be avoided.

“Ohhohoho! Judging from your expression, you seem to be human too. Seeing you so desperate.”

“It certainly looks like you’ve prepared a lot. You even found out that I went outside Cheonsan and found my home.”

“Are you upset? You shouldn’t have bothered me like that!”

Myo Chae-kyung felt a tingling sensation as she screamed. It felt like her lost confidence was being restored.

“At first, I was hesitant, but now I know for sure. You deceived me again! You are a spy. And you are a spy in collusion with the Murim Alliance!”

As she pursed her lips, Myo Chae-kyung spoke with a victorious smile.

“So, prepare to die quietly. I will come back to question you again as soon as I hear news. And when I do… … it will not end like this.”

bang!

She rolled her eyes and went outside. The loud sound of the iron bars echoed.

“hmm…….”

Jang-seo, left alone, was lost in thought.

“How did you find out?”

The fact that he went out of Cheonsan and hid his treasure inside the house is known only to Heukgeo.

Of course he would have found out since he blew it.

I wasn’t saying that because I didn’t know.

What I was curious about was why on earth Blackbeard was the subject of their investigation.

Even if the guards’ surveillance was thorough, they wouldn’t have noticed that he had gone outside Cheonsan.

The same goes for Cheonmago. There’s no way Heukgeo would have blurted out something that wasn’t asked. In the end, it’s saying that he asked because he knew something.

“It’s not the Archduke. It’s someone who knows me better than me who is reporting it. Who exactly is it?”

Of course, no matter what, nothing changes.

because…….

Boom! After some time, the door opened again and she barged in, grumbling.

“Jang Yi-seo-eeeeeeeeee!”

Screaming like I was going crazy.

It was natural.

“Have you found the evidence?”

Because Cheonmago no longer exists in this world.

Jang I-seo greeted them at their reunion.

With the world’s most sinister smile.

*

Strictly speaking, the disappearance of Cheonmago was thanks to Sakongja.

It was something I had thought about since the moment I found out about my master’s true identity, and also because I felt like someone was following me when I returned from Maga to Wolha Village.

‘While I’m gone, take care of a few things. It won’t be difficult.’

So I immediately told Hongran to move the treasure and break down the entrance.

“Where did you take it!”

“What are you talking about?”

“The treasure you plundered and the seal of the Murim Alliance!”

“Looking at you getting so worked up, I guess you didn’t find anything in the end.”

“This kid… … !”

“Of course I can’t find it. I’ve never done that before.”

“… … !”

Myo Chae-kyung despaired, and Jang Yi-seo laughed.

The outcome was reversed in an instant. Now it’s time to get to the point.

“Back to square one. Let me ask you this. Are you still going to send me to my death without any evidence?”

“Shut up… … .”

“If things go wrong later, you, Lord, will have to take full responsibility. You will probably lose everything and die. It will be a very miserable ending.”

“I told you to shut up!”

Myo Chae-kyung’s sharp claws trace a trajectory and rush forward. But just before they touch Jang Yi-seo’s body.

“… … !”

Stand tall!

She froze like a statue. She had a gut feeling after seeing Jang Yiseo’s indifferent gaze. Even if she went in now, there was no way to get through.

‘This guy… … is flawless!’

Even the golden glow rising from his body felt like an unreachable sanctuary.

This makes it clear. The last time I got hurt on my neck, it was because of this guy.

‘What the hell has this kid been doing?!’

I swallowed my saliva without realizing it, and the awkward hand I raised trembled.

It’s not that she doesn’t have the confidence to win if she just fights. She’s also a peerless master who’s looking to reach her peak.

However, the more I thought about Jang Il-seo’s words, the more they seemed true.

If this continues, all responsibility will be placed on me.

In the end, the Archduke only does good things.

“… … You fucking bastard. Get out of my sight right now.”

Declaration of surrender. Finally, she raised the white flag.

I lost not once, not twice, but three times.

At this point, I had to admit that Jang Seo was above me.

But… … .

“ha ha ha!”

Jang burst out laughing and fell to the floor.

“What are you doing? I told you to go?!”

“Master. Does this look like a fight between me and the Master?”

“what……?”

“This is a fight between me and the Archduke. Your Majesty is merely standing in the middle.”

“… … !”

“It’s not like the owner can end it just because he wants to.”

Myo Chae-kyung’s eyes shook greatly. Jang Yi-seo spat out a rebuke without stopping.

“And the Archduke will never stop here, whether there is evidence or not.”

“Why would you do something so reckless when you have no evidence!”

“authority.”

Where is this place? It’s a cult. It’s a cult that worships power and authority. But what would happen if the Archduke stopped here?

If he fails to properly handle one of his assistants, he will be left with a blemish. Then his status will be shaken and a hole will be made in his stronghold.

It’s a crack in authority.

So it was clear that he would do everything he could to prevent this.

But it was the same for Jang Seo too.

‘If I get out of here, the people around me will get hurt, and if I stay still, I’ll die. So I have no choice but to risk my life and confront it.’

He spoke firmly, as if making a decision.

“What will you do? Will you take all the responsibilities of the Grand Duke and go with him? Or… … Will you leave open a way for him to live as the Lord of the Biryong Clan?”

“you……!”

“I guarantee it. You, my lord, will never suffer any loss.”

A dark shadow fell over Myo Chae-kyung’s face.

Is it an illusion that Jang Seo looks particularly bigger today?

I don’t know.

But there’s only one thing she can say now.

“What should I do?”

It was the moment when a secret deal was made between the two.

and…….

The day of execution dawned.
