Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 104 One who looks into the heart of God (4)

“Take a drink.”

“…I am honored.”

Grrr.

The amber liquid filled the empty glass, drawing exquisite curves.

The flowing incense was very fragrant. Ji Woon-hoe didn’t usually drink alcohol, but this time he felt drunk.

That’s how excited I was, and that’s how distraught I was.

“Try it.”

Ji Woonhoe politely turned around and drank.

Certainly, Six Thousand Heart Juice was worthy of hearing the sound of famous liquor. Although it was a strong drink, it even felt like it was protecting my body.

“Is it good?”

“Very good.”

“Then that’s it.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his cup.

He himself pours and drinks the six thousand heart liquor given to Ji Woon-hoe. However, such actions instead caused turbulence in Jiwoonhoe. The sight of Lee Cheon-sang drinking the alcohol that was his was not only touching, but touching.

“Who did you hear it from?”

The question “Did you know?” rose up in my throat. I also felt resentful, wondering why you didn’t tell me.

Fearing that his unscrupulous feelings might be discovered, Ji Woon-hoe lowered his head.

“I heard it from the Three Dukes.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“I heard a report that something quite interesting happened in the side story.”

It may seem like he doesn’t care about trivial matters, but that means seeing Lee Cheon-sang as simply a power-hungry politician.

He knew everything about the events taking place within the Protestant Church. This is because he hears each and every detail of what happened, when and where it happened.

And he remembered it all.

Lee Cheon-sang spoke into the air.

“Bring the third one.”

There was no answer back. But Lee Cheon-sang didn’t care at all.

After a while.

Kugoogung!

With a heavy sound, the door to Daejeon opened and Seo-ryang entered.

Seo-ryang, standing twenty steps away, bowed his head.

“I’m meeting the leader.”

“This way.”

Xu Liang glanced at Ji Yunhui.

Ji Woonhoe was lowering his head with an expressionless face. Even Xiliang of the world could not guess what he was thinking.

“Would you like a drink?”

“it’s okay.”

For a moment, Ji Woon-hoe’s eyes wavered.

How dare you turn it down when your religious leader offers you alcohol? Is there anyone else in the world who has a big liver like that?

What was even more surprising was Lee Cheon-sang’s reaction.

“You don’t seem to be in the mood for a drink. “Sit down.”

“yes.”

Xu Liang sat across from Ji Yun Hui.

Lee Cheon-sang looked at Ji Woon-hoe and opened his mouth.

“You showed courage.”

“yes?”

“It’s not easy to stand out in front of everyone. “It’s like you.”

Although he said it was befitting of Jiwoonhoe, it was actually a remark that was not befitting of Lee Cheon-sang. He wasn’t the type of person to say things like that to anyone.

Ji Yun-hoe was embarrassed and lowered his head even deeper.

“Here comes the Emperor. “I just…”

“I’ll ask.”

“….”

“How do you want to handle it?”

Ji Yun-hoe’s eyes shook greatly.

It was a short question, but I don’t know what Lee Cheon-sang’s question means. As a father, what should you do with a child who has committed an unreasonable crime?

The situation, feelings, and weight are different from when Seo-ryang suddenly asked a question. The person who just asked the question was the strongest and most feared Absolute on this endless continent.

“…Privately, he is my son, but he has already become the religious leader’s disciple. “I think this is a problem that is out of my hands.”

It wasn’t about avoiding the answer. He truly thought so.

In the Church of the Heavenly Demon, or rather in the martial arts world, Lee Cheon-sang’s words are the law. Since he announced that he would accept Ji Kang-hyeon as his disciple, he could no longer get involved in his son’s affairs.

This is because getting involved with a cult leader’s disciples can mean ignoring the cult leader’s authority.

“Head of the Demon Sword.”

“Yes, leader.”

“Are you going to make me ask the same question twice?”

“…!”

Ji Yun-hoe’s face turned pale.

“Forgive me…! I just…”

“What do you want to do? “Answer me.”

What on earth is your teacher thinking?

Ji Woon-hoe, who had been shaking his head furiously, soon shook his head. Trying to guess the leader’s intentions is in itself immoral, and even if you knew, you would never know.

All he can do is convey his honest feelings as they are.

“No matter how heinous the crime may have been, a child is still a child. “The only people in the world who can embrace their children are parents.”

“is it.”

“But… I am the head of the Demon Sword Family. Therefore, I think we should treat it more strictly.”

“so?”

Ji Woonhoe closed his eyes.

“I want to give a punishment that is appropriate for the crime committed.”

“Is that your truth?”

“That’s right.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“I understand.”

“I apologize.”

“As you said, that child has become my disciple. “It seems like it fell out of your reach.”

“….”

“But I don’t want to ignore your sincerity. “I will personally handle the eighth disciple of our school without anyone knowing.”

Lee Cheon-sang placed the liquor bottle in front of him.

“Take it.”

“I don’t know what to do with the blessings of the religious leader. “If you do that, your conviction will disappear.”

Ji Woon-hoe bowed to Lee Cheon-sang and took a polite step back. Before retreating, he glanced at Seo-ryang, but Seo-ryang did not look back at him.

With Ji Woon-hoe gone, only Lee Cheon-sang and Seo-ryang remained.

Slurp.

Before I knew it, a new bottle of alcohol was in Lee Cheon-sang’s hand. He brought alcohol from somewhere as an empty gift.

“Take it.”

It is not an offer to drink, but a command to take.

Xu Liang raised his glass.

Lee Cheon-sang asked as he filled his glass.

“What did you feel?”

“yes?”

“What did you feel during the conversation between me and the Demon Sword Head?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I do not know.”

“I’m disappointed.”

“….”

“Drink.”

Xu Liang emptied his glass.

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass again and asked.

“Are the three sons of the Demon Sword Family still in the criminal court?”

As expected, this guy knew.

“That’s right.”

“It wouldn’t have been easy, but you managed to subdue it.”

“I should have caught it somehow.”

“The reason is?”

“Because it was something that had to be solved.”

“Do you think so?”

“yes.”

“Why?”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up. It was a powerful look in his eyes that had never been shown in front of Lee Cheon-sang before.

“There is no reason. “It just had to happen.”

“….”

“To be more honest, my heart just made me do that.”

Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking at him silently, nodded.

“I like that answer.”

“…?”

“If the answer had been one filled with unnecessary rhetoric and unnecessary reasons, I would have been disappointed once again.”

Either be disappointed or not.

What was important to Seoryang right now was not Lee Cheon-sang’s feelings for him.

“I have a question. Can I ask you something?”

“How did you know?”

“no. “I wonder why you kept quiet if you knew about it.”

Even Daehobeop, his closest associate, does not know Lee Cheon-sang’s true face. And we don’t even know how many hidden demons he has under his control.

One thing is certain: at least, it is not strange for Lee Cheon-sang to know whatever happens within the Protestant Church.

So I didn’t wonder how he knew the real culprit.

But I was curious as to why he hadn’t said anything until now.

A person died with a stigma attached to him. And the demon ended his life humbly, praying for Lee Cheon-sang until the moment of his death.

Why didn’t Lee Cheon-sang try to solve this problem if he knew who the real culprit was?

“I guess I was curious about the reason.”

“That’s right.”

“The answer lies in what you just said to me.”

Seoryang, who was tilting his head as he thought about his answer, momentarily hardened his face.

– To be more honest, my heart just made me do that.

My fist was shaking.

“Wasn’t that why you liked it?”

“….”

“Does not matter. “I am not someone who tries hard to please someone.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes became transparent.

“And it was the same for that Mine.”

“…yes?”

“The person who died unjustly prayed for me until the moment he died. Do you think he really hoped for something and prayed to me?”

“…?”

“Do you think he wanted to clear his name? Did he pray for at least a peaceful life in the afterlife? Not like that.”

“….”

“He was just doing it for me. All I want to do is hope for the well-being of the one god I devoted my life to believing and following. “There was no other intention there.”

“…!!”

“Loyalty and faith that expect something in return are unclean. It’s impure. The demon didn’t care much about his own reputation. “It’s just for me with a pure heart.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his cup.

Although he still had an indifferent expression, was it Seo-ryang’s mistake to see an inexplicable bitterness in the slightly shaded corners of his eyes?

“Being angry for the person who died unjustly is actually tarnishing his faith.”

“….”

“That’s why I’m called God. God is not a being who relieves injustice. Just knowing and understanding is enough.”

“But the leader…”

Seo-ryang cleared his throat without realizing it. I felt uncomfortable telling a man who called himself a god that he was not human.

Surprisingly, Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“Of course I am human. Although he is human, he is called a god. In that case, I too have no choice but to strive to acquire the appearance of a god.”

The word “effort” really did not suit Lee Cheon-sang. Looking at him, I thought he must have been like this since he was born.

The strength, personality, and presence.

Seo-ryang quietly looked at him and held out a glass.

“Please pour me a drink.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass as if it were natural.

Seoliang said as he watched the cup being filled.

“Can I ask one more question?”

“I allow it.”

“I understand why you did not resolve Mine’s injustice. “No, I didn’t understand, but I knew it in my head.”

“But?”

“Then why did you accept the eldest son of the Demon Sword Family Master as your disciple? “Just as there was no need to resolve the injustice, there was no need to accept him as a disciple, right?”

“Wrong. “There was a need to accept him as a disciple.”

There was a need? What does that mean?

“We needed him as material for our school.”

“Ingredients?”

“Yes.”

“What ingredients?”

“I don’t want to explain.”

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite. Well, just answering so many questions is something.

Lee Cheon-sang emptied his glass.

“But let me explain. “You too are involved in this.”

Are you involved in this? Oh, you’re involved with the Demon Sword Family?

Lee Cheon-sang stretched out his hand to the side.

Then, a powerful flow of power was felt in the air.

Kugugoogung!

With a harsh sound, several boxes flew through the air and landed next to Taesa.

At that moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes shook greatly.

“Would you like to know?”

“Uh… so… um…”

“These are boxes that almost fell into the hands of the attackers. You were there too, so you would know.”

‘…got caught.’

You’re screwed.
