Episode 102 Itâs better for you to survive.
Not only the Bisain, but also Seo Jeong-tae and the seven Apostles were surprised to hear that I was the son of the Heavenly Demon.
âAre you really a sword dancer?â
Bisainâs face became more distorted and his voice became more subdued.
âexactly.â
Bisain asked Extreme Soma for confirmation.
âWould you like to ask the Majon? âIs it true?â
âWhat kind of person in the world would dare impersonate the religious leaderâs blood relatives in front of him?â
That was the end with those words. Because you wouldnât call a fake real unless the evil Soma goes crazy.
âWhy are you here?â
Although the Apostolic Association knew that the extremely evil Soma had been expelled from the church, they did not find out that I accompanied him.
âI guess itâs the same reason youâre here. To resolve this matter without bloodshed. âIsnât that why you came too?â
Instead of answering, Bisain asked the question again.
âHow did you know it was me?â
Thatâs because it happened in the past.
But I couldnât answer that way.
âThe two Apostles are known to be strong enough to take on a single Mazon. However, while dealing with one Mazon, eight Apostles came? âNo matter how important this matter is, donât you think itâs gone too far?â
âBut I donât think thatâs grounds for finding me?â
âOf course it is. So I looked at you. Usually, you put an important person in the middle, so I looked at the person in the middle. So there are definitely differences.â
âWhat is it?â
âEven though we wore the same clothes, we couldnât pay attention to our shoes. Your shoes are very high-quality, hard to find in the central region. The sword he was wearing wasnât an ordinary sword either. Not only that, but when I prayed earlier, the way I blended in with other people was different. âSince we rarely prayed together, we had no choice but to leave a mark.â
âYou really felt the difference?â
I nodded, and Bisainâs expression hardened. Although it could not be said that there was a clear difference in skill just by reading the prayer, it was not a pleasant situation.
I pretended not to notice and continued talking.
âThere is another reason. I noticed that the owner of the top was sending a telegram. Sending a message at such an important moment means that you are asking someone about a decision. A person who can give orders to the lord of the upper tier here, guarded by the Seven Apostles and wearing a precious sword and shoes. âShouldnât I guess this is you?â
With his face still stern, Bisain nodded slowly.
At that time, Extreme Soma and Ian sent the same electric sound almost at the same time.
âYou are a genius.
-You are a genius.
I sent a message to Ian.
âYou just sent a message similar to that of Extreme Soma.
-Both good and evil have been recognized in you.
-Which side are you?
-young master!
If it were just the two of us, we would have laughed and continued to joke, but I stood calmly, controlling my facial expressions.
If the two people were pleasantly surprised, Bisainâs mood was on the contrary subdued.
Bisain, now is not the time for you to feel bad. Because now you have a unique opportunity to change your destiny.
âenvious.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âHasnât he already been confirmed as the successor? âIâm still struggling.â
Bisainâs mouth twitched. Even if he smiled slightly bitterly, his entire mouth would turn into a wrong expression, creating a very provocative expression.
I know why he makes this face when he is in a situation where he would be proud.
Although the successor had already been decided, a fierce secret struggle was still going on within the Sado League.
Weâve already been attacked three times, and one of them was really dangerous. Because so many people were aiming to become the successor, it was impossible to find out who was responsible.
That was the reason why he was now carrying seven of the Apostles with him.
However, in his life before returning, he ends up being assassinated.
Will his fate change when he meets me?
That was something I couldnât figure out. Will what will happen happen or will he live a new destiny?
At that time, one of the Thirteen Apostles who were guarding Bisain took off his bamboo robe and stepped forward. He was a gray-haired veteran.
âNobu is the person who leads the Apostles.â
Ylang (äžçŒ) Baekcheolgi (çœé”æ).
He was the leader of the Thirteen Apostles and a confidant of the Apostle Lord.
For the rest of my life, I felt guilty for not being able to prevent Bisain from hurting my face when I was young. And when Baek Cheol-gi is assassinated by secret forces and dies, Baek Cheol-gi dies with him while trying to protect him.
Was that why? I had a crush on him. This is because I saw Ian in the man who died trying to protect the leader.
âRecently, I heard that a scholar from Shingyo is gaining prominence, but it is truly a masterpiece.â
âI just guessed it based on my keen eye.â
âFor a warrior, keen insight is a talent more important than any other talent.â
âThank you for a good look.â
After exchanging good words, Ilang got to the point.
âThe reason why Lord Xiao came out in person today was not just to solve the problem at the top.â
âThen what is it for?â
âSomeone is hoping that Extreme Soma will cause blood death once again.â
When he was mentioned, Extreme Soma stepped forward and asked.
âWho are they?â
Ilang shook his head.
âWe donât know either.â
Then, Extreme Soma looked at me as if seeking an answer. I lived up to his expectations.
âThey must be aiming to become the successor to the Apostle League.â
âWhat do I have to do with them?â
âSuppose Soma annihilated the Baekgye Sangdan today. There will be another uproar, right? Perhaps those behind this incident are trying to plot something by taking advantage of the conflict and dispute between our church and the Apostolic Alliance.â
When I guessed right away, not only Ilang, but even Bisain, with whom I was talking, was surprised. This is because they figured out what they knew all at once.
Bisain started the conversation again.
âHow did you know that?â
âAs you said, the Prince himself came forward today. âIf it wasnât directly related to his problem, he would have sent someone else and not come forward like this.â
âSince you are so intelligent, I donât need to explain why you have to die. Please return to your school now. That will be a good thing for both sides.â
âWe also have something to ask of the Prince.â
âWhat request?â
âPlease hand over the Baekgye Sangdan in Gwiju right now. And please compensate Soma for all the losses he has suffered over the past two years.â
Everyone was surprised by the unexpected words. Although he probably doesnât know it, even Extreme Soma would be surprised by my suggestion.
The first person to get angry was Seo Jeong-tae, the head of Baekgye Sangdan.
âWhat are you talking about? Are you going to bite me right away? And even compensation? âDoes this make sense?â
I looked at Seo Jeong-tae coldly.
âIt seems there is no hierarchy here. âWhen a small lord is talking, a subordinate casually interrupts.â
I felt sorry for saying that. Because our school was a mess.
Bisain spoke coldly on behalf of Seo Jeong-tae, who was in tears.
âInstead, I should thank you for the warning and extend the period further. What nonsense are you talking about?â
âIt is the prince who is making absurd remarks.â
âI?â
âHow long has it been since you became the official successor?â
âItâs been a year.â
âThe people who planned this incident must have been trying to become the successor since the time when the prince became the successor, or even before that. âIsnât that right?â
âLetâs say yes.â
âThen do you have any proof that they were not involved in the bloody death that Soma caused two years ago?â
âwhat?â
Bisain was puzzled. You probably havenât thought about that part.
âYou must have seen Somaâs work today. I can see you trying to control yourself even in angry situations. But why was it like that two years ago?â
I looked at Extreme Soma. Extreme Soma said with an expression of disbelief.
âno way? Are you saying that there was some kind of background to that incident? They used me? This extreme soma? âThere was a reason why those guys attacked me like they were crazy because they wanted to kill me?â
With each word, the cold demonic energy deepened.
Soon, Extreme Soma started laughing like a crazy person. It was his laugh when he was really angry.
âSir, as a joke, I said I would wipe them all out and be locked up for ten years, but I might have to stay locked up for twenty years.â
Bisain, sensing that Extreme Somaâs reaction was genuine, was unable to say anything for a moment. He, too, must be suspecting that the bloodshed two years ago may have been a conspiracy.
âBut I have no intention of biting the Baekgye Sangdan.â
âOkay. âThen letâs add one condition.â
âWhat are the conditions?â
âSoma and I will help you find out who is behind this incident.â
It was a series of surprises. This may be the first time Bisain has been surprised so many times in one day.
âYou told us to go back, but we wonât go back. Isnât Soma the kind of person who will go back just because you tell him to?â
Extreme Soma helped me and said something.
âIâm the kind of person who would stay if I had to go.â
I smiled slightly and continued.
âAs you can see, he is like that. So we will help. âIf they drag Soma in, we canât stand it either.â
âAre you confident that you can find out whoâs behind it?â
âIt may be impossible to completely reveal them after years of hiding, but I will find a clear clue to reveal them. âIf I give you that clue, will you listen to the demands I suggested earlier?â
The reason for this suggestion is simple.
Because I already knew who was behind it.
Bisain will eventually be accepted.
You must have seen something extraordinary in what I showed you today, and more than anything, the profits in Gwiju and the punishment for the evil Soma were nothing compared to finding and eliminating the person behind the attempt to kill me.
Bisain and Ilang Bisain and Seo Jeong-tae exchanged messages with each other.
I gave them time.
At that time, Extreme Soma sent a message.
-Will they accept it? The amount of loss would be enormous.
-I will definitely accept it. Shall we bet? Buy food! How is it?
-Youâre obsessed with Bob and my mask again. I donât like it.
I laughed out loud and he didnât laugh.
Eventually, the meeting ended with Bisain exchanging notes.
âgreat. I accept it. Instead, I will step down when you give me a clue.â
âgreat. âLetâs do that.â
I pulled out the dark magic sword and held it out to him. Bisain drew his sword and lightly hit my sword.
visor.
This clear sound of swords clashing was the seal of promise.
We looked at each other between our crossed swords.
My eyes were extremely calm as I looked at his crushed and distorted face.
Even though I didnât have any particular fondness for him, I did have ill feelings toward the next successor. Because a really trash guy is going to take his place.
Of course, this life would have no meaning if it went on like the past. Because that guy also gets killed by fire weapons.
But what if we all survive?
Then there is meaning.
Itâs better for you to survive.
Because your scarred face will be more helpful to Moorim than the handsome face of the trash that was being ignored.
âSee you later then.â
âLetâs do that.â
So we left Baekgye Sangdan without shedding a single drop of blood.
On the carriage ride back, Extreme Soma asked me.
âIt was boring, right?â
âDid you meet the successor to the Apostolic Alliance between the Thirteen and Seven of the Apostles? Were you talking about the person behind the plan to kill him? âWhich point is boring?â
Extreme Soma laughed. Although it was a habitual smile, I felt a little different.
âHow did you know he would accept?â
âYour life and your position as Lord of the Apostles are at stake. âI thought you would accept any conditions.â
âAre you confident you can catch them?â
âThat is a question for Soma. Are you confident? âBecause they are the ones who will attack Soma, not me.â
Extreme Soma laughed even louder.
âMy boring world is getting fun.â
âIt wasnât boring from the beginning. âMurim is so exciting, but I think Soma and I have been stuck at our school too much.â
âBut where do you find them?â
âWe wonât have to look for it. Because they will come. We just have to do our job.â
Extreme Soma gave me a look of sincere admiration. They are going to be attacked anyway, and if they can get a clue in the process, all of Gwijuâs troublesome problems will be solved at once. And that while making up for all past losses.
I added another emotion to his admiration.
âI donât care whether the successor to the Sado-maeng will live or die. âThe only thing Iâm interested in is Somaâs world. Itâs about seeing that world.â
This journey is to see the world of Extreme Soma, and by the end of it, we will know more about each other.
Extreme Soma, who was quietly staring at me, said with an interesting sparkle in his eyes.
âThis time, I have to go and show you why the ugly heart is ugly.â
So the carriage started running towards somewhere else in his world again.
