Side Story Episode 87. Demon and Jeong (5)
“… … .”
Ho Sangbaek’s face was truly a sight to behold.
It seemed like a collection of negative emotions such as fear, anger, embarrassment, disbelief, and astonishment.
“This is truly absurd.”
The face of the Grand Elder of the Dragon Quan Gate, Chang Chun, also became serious.
“The power of the Tiger Sword Dan is incredible. “The martial arts skills of the lower-ranking members are unremarkable, but as a unit, they are extremely efficient.”
“… … .”
“Did everything really happen?”
“… … yes.”
Ho Sangbaek gritted his teeth.
“It’s clear that something was done.”
Of course he had no choice but to think that way.
It was he who was on good terms with those in power in Protestantism. However, it was a situation where Ho Sang-baek was thoroughly offering bribes.
‘No matter what!’
If the Demonic Church had sent a force that was difficult to handle, ‘that person’ would have contacted them in advance.
He’s not human enough to worry about this person’s life, but he probably doesn’t want his money to be cut off. The bribe that Ho Sangbaek sent to ‘him’ every quarter was a considerable amount. The amount donated per year was equivalent to the annual budget of a small or medium-sized sect.
Even if you pay that much bribe, there was no problem in the operation of the Homa Company. Rather, the top was able to grow to this level because they paid that much bribe to ‘that guy’.
If they had sent a combat unit to Shinkyo Castle or a unit close to it, they would have contacted us unconditionally.
‘… … ?!’
Ho Sangbaek, who was anxious about the current situation, suddenly thought of a possibility.
‘Certainly not, right?’
Is it possible that they are just cutting off their tails now that they have seen all the things to see?
‘Nonsense. ‘I’m not the type of person to do that.’
Even if it were true, I wouldn’t be the type of person to use such a conspicuous method. No one wants to cut their tail like this.
However, once the anxiety arose, it was eating away at Ho Sangbaek’s reason little by little.
“Whether we won through trickery or through pure skill, the entire power of the Tiger Blade evaporated in an instant.”
Jangchun frowned.
“This is a unit that you have invested and taught for several years. What do you plan to do now?”
Ho Sangbaek bit his lip.
“We have to grow it again.”
“That is natural. “I’m asking what you plan to do if those crazy demonic cultists storm here soon.”
Ho Sangbaek’s eyes wavered.
“Elder?”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand.”
Jangchun waved his hand.
“Of course, the warriors of the clan we brought with us will fight against them. Shaolin will also come forward. “I mean their viciousness.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I fought the Shaolin monks and the Tiger Swordsman in a place that could be called my front yard. “They must have suffered a lot of damage.”
A trace of tension appeared on Jangchun’s face.
“Have you ever seen demonic cultists with their eyes turned?”
“… … !”
“They will attack from the outskirts of the city. “There will be nothing visible now.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know, but I think they’re coming with the intention of completely burying this city.”
Ho Sangbaek’s eyes wavered.
Yes. The magicians he had seen were crueler than anyone else. Moreover, since they suffered greatly, I didn’t even know that they were really determined to destroy this place.
“This city west of Yeonseong has developed greatly in a short period of time. It’s thanks to the Homa Sangdan. However, if you say that it is the power of the Gouma Sangdan alone, that is not the case. “Didn’t you also receive a lot of help from the people here?”
“… … That’s right.”
“Before advancing to the center, your plan was to establish this as a branch of the Homa Sangdan. “In fact, we have been preparing a lot for that.”
“… … .”
“Even if 30% of this city is destroyed, the branch’s dream will disappear. The reason is that the branch’s overall operation is based on the city’s economy and information network.”
It was an accurate judgment.
The moment the city here is even slightly destroyed, the branch’s dream will be delayed by the year.
Once completed, it could be operated even if half the city was blown away, but it was currently in full development. If this city were to be destroyed now, not only his dreams and the money he had accumulated, but also the money he had invested would suffer astronomical losses.
“But are you going to defend this entire city?”
“Isn’t there a Shaolin group with the elders and other dignitaries?”
“We are not losing. I have that much confidence. But I don’t think we can stop those crazy people without causing any damage.”
“Then what should I do?”
Ho Sang-baek let out an annoyed voice without realizing it. I regretted it as soon as I spit it out.
Jangchun said coldly.
“Evacuate people.”
“… … yes?”
“Buildings can be rebuilt. Trust is difficult, but there is a way to build it again. But it cannot save a person’s life.”
“… … !!”
“It doesn’t matter who you are. However, there will be people who influence the branch. “At least let them evacuate first.”
“that… … !”
“Now is not the time to argue about this or that. “I heard the information that the Tiger Blade was defeated, but I haven’t been able to find out where the demon cultists are after that, isn’t it?”

“… … .”
“As the Tiger Blade itself was responsible for one axis of information power, it is as if one of your eyes has gone blind. “It means we can’t search through western Fujian, focusing on Yeonsheng, like we used to.”
A gloomy look appeared on Ho Sangbaek’s face.
Jangchun smiled.
“You can experience a crisis like this at any time in your life. “It’s important not to worry so much and just get moving.”
“… … “That is correct.”
“They are the ones who could attack us tonight. I don’t have time. “I will write a letter, so please select only the most important human resources and send them as text.”
“Well, is that okay?”
“Then where will you send them? Are you going to tie me up on some mountain for no purpose?”
“… … .”
“You will figure out the reason. Do you understand?”
Ho Sangbaek, who was looking at Jangchun, bowed his head.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Jangchun burst into laughter.
“Hey man, we are not strangers so let’s put that kind of greeting aside. In difficult times, we should help each other. “Haven’t the situation in the main text improved thanks to you?”
“I’m just grateful.”
“Now, let’s start by making a list and gathering it.”
“All right.”
Ho Sangbaek hurried back to his office to make a list.
A bitter smile appeared on Jangchun’s once benevolent face.
‘He seems like a frustrating guy.’
The Homa Sangdan was an organization that could serve as a good foundation for Yonggwonmun. I couldn’t lose such an organization because of the demonic bastards.
That was exactly it. It’s a good foundation.
In other words, even if the Homa Sangdan disappears, Yonggwonmun can somehow advance to the center. However, the period only became longer.
‘I need to know my subject.’
Every time Ho Sang-baek spoke as if he could do something, I had to work hard to control my facial expression because I was afraid that I would laugh out loud without realizing it.
‘do not worry. If you keep giving good humor like you have done so far, the text won’t have to abandon you either.’
Jangchun turned his back and left the room.
He suddenly looked at the guesthouse in the distance. It was a place to host VIPs.
‘It was my first time.’
Cold sweat formed on Jangchun’s forehead.
‘It’s my first time seeing Lord Gyeyulwon so angry.’
It was worth it. Didn’t he lose the qualities he wanted to raise as the next generation of Arhats, as well as his beloved priest and vice-wonju?
‘Crazy demonic bastards. ‘Do you know who you touched?’
The enemy’s martial arts skills were so great that they were ranked among the top ten among enemy ships.
Although he was not as good as Master Jeoksong, who was said to be the strongest of the sons and one of the greatest talents in Shaolin history, he was also a talent recognized by Shaolin. He was not a great man who could be defeated by a few clumsy magicians.
‘I wish I had come sooner.’
There was a strange excitement on Jangchun’s face.
‘This is an opportunity to see with your own eyes how powerful the martial arts of Shaolin’s headquarters can be in actual combat.’
Jangchun hummed and walked towards his room.
He was the person I felt most comfortable with here at Homa Sangdan.

“Whoa.”
Yuljeoksan, out of breath, clenched his fists.
Next to him were a group of three armies led by Yang Jian and a group of two armies led by Seol Yi-jeon.
Guichang asked.
“How is your body?”
“Very good.”
“You may be young, but you fought against Shaolin monks. Have your internal injuries healed?”
“It’s a little bit, but there’s still some left.”
Yuljeoksan grinned.
“That’s better. I like the right amount of tension. “I like this feeling that it wouldn’t be strange if a fight broke out at any time.”
Guichang chuckled.
“Don’t move around like a dumbass and get caught.”
“don’t worry. “Even though he has a big body, he’s good at moving secretly.”
That was something Gwi-chang knew better than anyone else.
He looked at Yang Geon.
“Promoting work.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“This mission is particularly difficult.”
Yang Geon smiled.
“It’s a good thing that it has a use. Do not worry.”
“okay. “When I get back, let’s have a drink with the group.”
“It is an honour.”
When Gwi-chang was taking care of Yang Geon like that.
Unexpectedly, there was Lee Cheon-sang in front of Seol-yijeon.
“Heart is good at breaking through, and archery is better at technique than strength.”
The archery skills of these Yaksyas had considerable destructive power. Among them, the Lunar New Year match had a particularly high hit rate.
“It won’t be a problem to keep up with Lord Lee. “What Leader Seol must keep in mind is to read the surrounding situation faster than anyone else.”
“yes!”
Lee Cheon-sang took out several neatly folded medicine balls from his arms.
“This is the poison I created on my way here.”
“Poison?!”
“It’s not a poison that will work even if it’s just the Yachas. But it’s good to grind it into fine powder and spread it into the air.”
“Effectiveness… … ?”
“If it penetrates the wound, you will feel pain similar to a burn all over your body. “It is a poison that must come into contact with a wound, that is, blood, to work properly.”
“… … !!”
“It is not a poison that poses a direct threat to life. However, those who are hit by this poison during a fight will have a hard time fighting as usual. “If the fight gets difficult, I hope you explode at the right time.”
Lee Cheon-sang pointed to the slightly charred medicine ball.
“It is an antidote. Gather them together and inhale them before you use poison on them.”
“How did you manufacture this?”
“Because I’ve always done it.”
Seol Yi-jeon looked at Li Cheon-sang with strange eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang glanced at Yuljeoksan Mountain.
“A decent expert would not be able to show his courage in front of Lord Lee. However, since he is an expert in close combat, he will not be able to use black or red bullets on the enemy. “Be sure to use that poison.”
“yes.”
“See you later.”
Seol Yi-jeon said to Lee Cheon-sang, who turned his body.
“When this mission is over, will you buy us a drink?”
Lee Cheon-sang stopped walking and looked back at Seol Yi-jeon and her team members.
Although tension was felt, everyone’s eyes were filled with adoration as they looked at Lee Cheon-sang.
“There are conditions. “If those conditions are met, we’ll consider it.”
“What conditions?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at each of their faces and turned around.
“Everyone returned alive.”
