# Vice-President Election Day

Meanwhile, at that time.

At Wolha Village Chilsogung, there was a guest who arrived before Soo.

“Who are you?”

“Boss Jang?!”

Hongran and Maenghui, who were sweeping the floor, ran to open the door and a sturdy man wearing a bamboo hat was standing there.

“I have come to see the Seven Princes.”

A middle-aged man with curly hair and a cheerful appearance.

“you…….”

Maeng Hui noticed first and narrowed his eyes.

“It’s been a long time since I greeted you, Your Majesty.”

“Counterintelligence chief?!”

Yes, the head of the counterintelligence unit!

He, who had disappeared while being surrounded, appeared here at Chilsogung Palace.

His counterattack has begun.

Shh …

The wind blew through the bamboo forest.

That’s a very ominous wind too.

*

“Come this way.”

Hongran smiled shyly and guided Gyeomsaik into the inner quarters.

“I heard the story. He is like a big brother to Assistant Jang.”

“Did he say that?”

A bitter smile appeared on Gyeomsaik’s lips.

“Yes. You often talked about it.”

“Haha, he’s a tight-lipped guy, but it seems he and the young lady were quite close.”

“Is it just me? Everyone here follows and thinks like Assistant Jang.”

“Is that so? I felt a little uneasy after sending you here. I’m glad you’re doing well.”

Hongran walked ahead without saying a word, smiling bashfully.

Gyeomsaik followed him, his sharp eyes flashing.

The fact that he still shows me favor means that Jang Seo hasn’t told me his story yet.

‘A spy who needs to make full use of his surroundings has cut ties with the nearest palace, Chilsogung…?’

It may not seem like much, but the opponent was the leader of the agents, and he could see it in his eyes.

‘You gave me your heart.’

Jang Il-seo had feelings for the Chilsogung Palace he had been in.

A line was drawn to keep them out of danger.

‘Were you swayed by these mere minds? The footnote’s judgment wasn’t necessarily wrong.’

A faint anger appeared in Gyeomsaik’s eyes.

Of course, now we are in a situation where we have to kill each other, but there is no personal grudge.

Rather, I felt sorry.

Jang was just a sacrificial lamb for the sake of justice. But now it seems that wasn’t the case.

‘You will soon learn how worthless their loyalty is, and how they think little of you.’

There is venom in the eyes of the humble man.

And just then, Hongran, who had arrived at the inner quarters, pointed to the gate and said.

“You can just come inside.”

“Thank you.”

Gyeomsaik, who had entered the room, frowned at the sight of the unlit interior.

The furniture on the floor is all broken, and it’s hard to believe that it’s an abandoned house.

It’s less surprising because the old institutional systems have all been dismantled.

“who is this.”

As I went inside with all my thoughts, a languid voice came out from inside the slightly open door.

I could tell without even looking.

That’s it.

Seven Princes Mao.

“Who are you?”

“It’s been a while, Your Majesty the Seven Princes. I am the Chief of the Counterintelligence Corps, Gyeomsaik.”

“What do you want me to do? Just tell me what’s going on.”

What an incredibly rude tone. Strictly speaking, he was the teacher of the three princesses and should not be treated like this.

One opponent is the bastard Chil-gong-ja.

The sea as expected.

“Can I come in… … huff!”

The moment Gyeomsaik opened the door and was about to enter.

Hurrruk!

Hot air like lava gushed out through the gap.

“If you want to die, then do it.”

Gulp. Sweat was beading on Gyeomsaik’s forehead. He hadn’t expected this much. This was an overwhelming force that he couldn’t handle.

‘Is it really true that he is the son of a bitch? Haha, that’s surprising.’

He knew Mao well enough not to be swayed by anything.

Wouldn’t that be natural?

He is the head of the agents here.

When it came to information about successors, he was so knowledgeable that he could recite it even in his sleep.

But I never imagined that I would become this strong.

So it was even more spine-chilling.

It was only a year.

It was after he gave the mission to No. 103 to make Chilgongja a minor cult leader.

‘It’s scary. How on earth did you let that scoundrel grow up to be this much? Jang-seo, you bastard… … .’

The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached.

The most powerful agent ever, who achieved what no one else could.

Thinking back, I should have cooked him somehow and used him for a bigger cause instead of just throwing him out.

Now, if he were to rise to the position of vice-chairman, it is unimaginable how much greater the aftermath would be.

“If you have nothing to say, get out.”

So now it is the natural order of the organization to eliminate it by any means necessary.

“I have something to tell you about Jang Seo.”

“what?”

At the word “Jang Il-seo,” a door that seemed like it would never open opened wide!

And then one person appeared.

The red-haired ghost. No, the disfigured Maoda.

“Why Jang Il-seo!”

Your eyes are sparkling like that. You must have been quite close.

It must be because Jang Il-seo put that much effort into it.

But even so, it’s still mine. Will it be the same even if I find out about this?

“How much do you know about Jang Il-seo?”

The question is whether you can keep that promise.

“That guy’s other name is 103.”

“uh……?”

“Your true identity is a spy from the Murim Alliance who came 14 years ago. Did you know that?”

“… … !”

Mao’s mouth opens.

Gyeomsaik thought to himself, Jang-seo, there will be no one to help you tomorrow.

Those you gave your heart to will never give it to you again.

The loyalty of the Chilsogung ends here.

A wind of crisis blew gently toward Jang I-seo.

* * *

The next morning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From early morning in Cheonsan, the sound of loud drums extends through the mountain range.

There has never been anything like this since Jin Woo-gwang ascended to the throne as Cheonma.

Because it was the day of the unprecedented vice-presidential election.

“hmm.”

And Jang, the person in question, was busy preparing alone in his room, enjoying the sunlight.

He is running as a candidate for vice-chairman, but he is really petty as he looks at Tokyo and touches his clothes alone.

Still, I did pay some attention to it.

He changed into the black clothes given to him by Cheonma, and tied his loose hair neatly with a cloth.

When I got all dressed up like this, I looked pretty good. I definitely looked better after the makeover.

I don’t usually decorate like this.

But today is the day to let go of the past and be reborn anew.

This much is expected.

of course.

“You came quickly.”

The road ahead may not be smooth, though.

Kwajik!

“Die-!”

The windows broke and the assassins barged in.

Jang-i smiled faintly as he watched them running towards him from beyond the east.

*

Kwajik!

“Kuaaaah!”

An assassin fell down along with the door of the guest house. The believers outside were stirred.

Let’s take a quick look inside. It’s a total mess. There are just a lot of fallen people piled up.

The only things that are unharmed are the frightened guests and the man walking out confidently.

A problem child from Cheonsan who wears a neat black outfit.

“Huh? That person… … .”

“Brain… … horse?!”

It’s a market.

Groan, groan.

I can already hear the voices chattering quite loudly around me.

Of course. This is Tian Shan Zhai, the largest village in the Demonic Cult.

This is where Maga is located.

Jang has been here from the beginning.

Since it didn’t come off in the first place, everyone thought it was gone.

Moreover, he was not wearing a face mask, a black hat, or a mask at the moment.

I showed my face confidently and set out with a relaxed mind.

So some people had to recognize him and gossip about him. But there was no reason to hide it any longer.

Until yesterday, I lived as Agent 103, but from today on, I will live as Jang Il-seo.

“Is this it?”

Thanks to that, we quickly arrived at our destination.

The crowd that followed behind was also quite large. I didn’t pay any attention to it.

I just watched the front.

Strictly speaking, it was the starting point on the way to the synagogue.

Because you have to go through the outer gate in front of a wide open space and walk for a while to reach the main gate, and then go past that gate and climb up a small hill to reach the synagogue.

In fact, I have lived in Cheonsan for over ten years, but I have never been to the Presbyterian Church.

But it was clear that it had arrived in the right place.

“Brain, brain… …!”

“The brain demon has appeared!”

Otherwise, there would be no reason for so many warriors to be stationed in front of me like a barrier.

Boom-! Boom-! Boom-!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

A thunderous roar accompanied the sound of drums.

Jang took a deep breath.

My ears are ringing and my spine is tingling.

It felt like standing alone in front of an army of a hundred thousand people.

The believers who came after him all shook their heads and said.

“You came alone, didn’t you?”

“How am I going to get through all those people!”

“This is impossible!”

That might be the case.

Certainly, this elder put in his best efforts.

But if this is the way of the Demonic Cult that I can be recognized by, then I must follow it.

therefore.

『Heavenly Demon Eye』

“Welcome.”

Thud, thud.

Jang I-seo smiled and walked forward without hesitation.

Countless demons with a thousand spears and ten thousand swords, including the Seven Great Elders.

and.

Brain Demon Jang Seo, the number one ranked demon cult leader at the time.

It’s finally begun.

The final match that will end Jang I-seo’s life as a spy.

*

“You’re finally here.”

Meanwhile, in the synagogue on the hill, the appearance of Jang Il-seo made everyone on edge.

The seven absolute beings who will have the greatest influence on the reign of the Vice-Cult.

Iljang-ro, Bukmyeongma-gun, Maileong.

Elder Lee, Masan Cheonosan.

The third elder, Shin Chang-ma-gwi, Maeng Cheol-yong.

The White Ghost God’s dream of becoming the president.

Ohjangro Palmaek Gwanggyo.

Samajun, the poisonous snake of the six elders.

The two twin horses of the Seven Elders, Yangyo and Yangyu.

The Seven Elders are the real power holders of the Demonic Cult. If Jang I-seo becomes the vice-leader, he will become their direct superior.

In reality, the owner of the Presbyterian Church is born.

Even though the ending is obvious, how could I not pay attention?

Some people were full of anticipation, others were indignant.

‘Iseoya… … .’

Someone else was worried and suffering.

But everyone agreed on one thing.

Jang Yi-seo said that he absolutely had to get here today to prove his abilities.

Either by coaxing the opponent or by crushing him with a stronger force. By any means necessary.

If they do not arrive at the synagogue by noon, the election will be considered null and void.

These are the minimum qualifications that a candidate for the Demonic Cult that worships power must have.

So I looked forward to today with excitement.

I waited, imagining how Jang Yi-seo would overcome this attack from all these people.

But.

“You came alone?!”

Although it was a long distance, it was clearly visible to these peerless masters.

Although a large crowd had gathered behind him, there was no one there to help Jang Yi-seo.

I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it, so at first I waited in silence.

But no matter how long I wait, no one comes.

There is only one Jang Seo who walked into the enemy camp on his own two feet.

“Are you here to die?”

Other than that, there’s nothing else that comes to mind.

Today, even if it is called a hundred-horse race, the Cheonmajeon will never protect you.

That’s the same even if you’re number one in the hierarchy.

But you came here alone without any fear.

“There’s nothing to see.”

As the elders shook their heads, filled with disappointment.

“hmm…….”

Jang I-seo began to approach the enemy lines alone.

Like a tiger fighting a pack of wolves.

Silently. And majestically.
