Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 55 I can’t stand feeling uncomfortable (5)

“….”

Hong Yu-wen’s face visibly hardened.

Xu Liang shook the bottle.

“I drank it all and there is only one left. I told him to follow me and he came quickly. “The taste is amazing.”

“….”

“Aren’t you coming? Are you really saying they won’t eat you?”

Hong Yuwen looked around.

Demons passing by from afar were glancing at the two people. In the past, he would have approached me quickly and bowed his head, but not now.

It was because of a rumor that had spread around campus a few days ago.

It is said that the Three Dukes, Seoliang, and the Four Dukes, Hong Wimun, entered into a power struggle.

Kuuk.

Hong Wei-moon, who unconsciously clenched his fist, approached Seo-ryang with his characteristic leisurely pace.

Xu Liang smiled.

“That’s right.”

Grumble.

A thin thread of blood flowed from my tightly clenched fist. My fingernails were digging into my palms because I was gripping it too hard.

‘No need to be sensitive.’

There are a lot of people watching, but they say things like that.

If it were him normally, he wouldn’t have even snorted, but he keeps reacting in tears. This meant that I had no more mental space.

Hong Yuwen took a slightly deep breath.

‘He can’t do anything rash anyway.’

This is a guy who quickly agreed to the mediation of the criminal law party. I don’t know if he’s sincere, but at least he won’t do anything embarrassing right away.

‘It’s far away, but it’s still the territory of the penal court. He doesn’t know that either.’

What if I try to do something here and now?

‘Life as a Protestant in the future will become quite difficult.’

I don’t know about that side, but anyway, this side had no intention of giving in to the threats of the criminal law party leader. But at least I needed to take some time to save face.

Hong Yu-moon knew well how important it was to have face. Thinking about that, I actually hoped that Seo-ryang would go wild.

chuck.

When Hong Wei-wen arrived in front of Xu Liang, he pointed to the ground with his chin.

“Your cup is there. “Don’t step on it.”

Flap!

Hong Yu-wen sat on the ground with his long gun flapping loudly.

With a loud bang, the dust settled into the glass.

Xu Liang smiled.

“That guy is right.”

It seems like an older superior is looking at an immature subordinate. I kept my facial expression, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

“Take a drink.”

Hong Wei-wen held out the glass without saying a word.

Grrr.

A luxurious scent rose from the poured liquor.

One scent is definitely a good drink. Even when I was in a bad mood, I was secretly impressed.

“Are you fine?”

“It’s okay.”

“Let’s have a drink.”

Xu Liang held out his glass.

Hong Wi-moon, who was looking at the glass, emptied his own glass.

“Narrow-minded.”

Seo-ryang chuckled and emptied his own glass.

Kuuk.

Hong Yu-wen’s fist inside the long, wide sleeve was clenched once again.

I don’t even know why I react so sensitively. He was someone I hated for a long time, but not to this extent.

‘Since when did it start? Just hearing this guy’s voice made me irritated.’

After thinking about it for a while, he was able to recall that time without difficulty.

‘Since then. When I met Hwanhee Wonju.’

Before that, I only thought of him as a strange guy who was annoying but could be stepped on at any time, but showed unexpected side of himself. He’s strong and strong, but not very smart.

However, when his guest, Hwanhee Wonju, was taken away, he truly felt angry at Seo-ryang.

If he had lost without martial arts, he would have gritted his teeth even though he would have been angry. However, when the Joyful Wonju was taken away without even being able to use it, I was unable to come to my senses even for a moment.

However, Seo-ryang did not captivate Hwanhee Wonju with his amazing speaking skills.

‘Whatever the reason, he is still just a guy who will be eaten by me.’

Hong Wei-wen picked up the bottle and filled Xu Liang’s cup.

“oh? “What is this?”

“….”

“People suddenly change and you don’t know what to do. “Can I at least become a peacemaker?”

“Would you believe me if I told you to reconcile?”

“I will believe it if a trustworthy conversation continues.”

Hong Wi-moon filled his glass and then emptied it. Indeed, as Seoliang said, the liquor made by the head of the Hyeongbeop clan was very tasty.

“Why did you call me?”

“There is no particular reason. “It’s just that I don’t think we’ve ever talked to each other like this before.”

Hong Wei-wen frowned.

“We’ve talked among ourselves a lot. “It was like that when I was young.”

“Is that so? Well, I say it starts after you grow up. “Because that’s not important.”

Yes. That’s not important.

However, Hong Yu-wen found Xu Liang’s words strangely annoying.

‘what? ‘Why?’

Even though I pierced my ear, it felt like there was a small bug wriggling inside. It’s a dirty feeling that keeps bothering me even though I know it’s not true.

What is it? Why do I care about what this guy says?

“What do you plan to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you planning on living in that mess from now on?”

Quite a direct question.

In the past, he would have been embarrassed, but Hong Yu-moon, who has experienced this kind of behavior from Seo-ryang several times, was not like that now.

“Were you curious about that?”

“I thought you would be shocked and ask what I meant, but you came out honestly. “Yeah, I was curious about that.”

“What does that have to do with you?”

“It doesn’t matter. “If that mess happens again, it’s clear that I will be the first target, so how can I not care?”

“….”

“I don’t think I have any intention of giving up at all.”

“Of course.”

“Why are you trying to live so tightly?”

It’s never a joke. Xu Liang’s voice was as serious as his face.

A spark flew into Hong Wei-wen’s eyes.

“You’re not asking because you’re really curious, are you?”

“Don’t ask questions, just answer. “Why do you want to live so tightly?”

“Isn’t it obvious? We seven death penalty criminals will definitely have to fight in the future. No, the moment you become a disciple of the religious leader, it is no different from having your closest and deadliest enemy.”

“….”

“Our fight started right then. “Isn’t it surprising that you say something like that even though you know that?”

“Even if it was a fight, there wouldn’t be a need to kill him.”

“Do you want to keep messing around with me?”

“No, I just want to hear your sincere answer. At least for this moment.”

Grumble.

Xu Liang filled his cup. Hong Yu-wen coolly emptied his glass.

“If you look at the royal family of this country, you will know. The fate of the princes who did not become emperor was extremely miserable. “I feel like it would be better to die.”

“That’s right.”

“If you think we’re any different, you’re a really stupid person. We are like royal family. If you don’t want to be miserable, you should become emperor even if it means killing your brothers. Rather, it would be more merciful to kill him right now when he doesn’t know anything.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Is that what you think?”

“Isn’t it obvious? “How peaceful was your life?”

“I wish for a peaceful life, but the environment is not peaceful at all.”

“For us, true peace begins after we take office.”

“Wrong.”

“…?”

“Thank you for sharing your sincere thoughts, even if it’s only for a moment. Yes, that can happen. However, I would like to say that the idea that a peaceful life begins after taking office is wrong.”

Hong Yuwen smiled coldly.

“Do you want to teach me the principles of Confucianism?”

“What is the alliance? “Why bother giving lectures from saints to a guy who won’t get any results anyway?”

“….”

“You’re from Jeoksa, aren’t you?”

“however?”

“You’ve never been satisfied with something before, right?”

“….”

“Do you think you will be able to live in peace if you win the presidency? That sounds funny. “It’s only visible because the teacher’s martial arts skills are so great, nothing changes just because he sits there.”

“That’s the most absurd and trashy thing I’ve ever heard.”

“So, wouldn’t you rather put aside the principles of public alliance and speak based on experience? “If Confucius had said Mencius, you would be sitting there right now?”

“….”

“Are you scared?”

At that moment, murder appeared in Hong Wei-moon’s eyes.

“Did you call me here to insult me?”

“Why is it insulting to ask if you’re scared?”

“The taste of alcohol is poor.”

“Do you want to take over the presidency? Or are you trying to kill me first because you don’t want to die?”

“Why do you keep asking such trivial questions?”

“Just answer me. “Which one?”

“Of course the former.”

“Do you want to be the best?”

“of course.”

“Right.”

With those words, Seo-ryang closed his mouth. He just filled and emptied his glass over and over again.

Hong Yu-moon, who was looking at Seo-ryang blankly, opened his mouth.

“How are you?”

“me? what?”

“Don’t you want to be the best?”

“are you kidding? “I sat down and asked a question that wasn’t even funny.”

Hong Yuwen snorted.

“My brother thinks so too….”

“Of course I’m not interested in things like that.”

Hong Wei-wen’s eyes widened.

“Not interested?”

“Think about it. What happens when you take the presidency and become the pinnacle of Protestantism? Should I manage here or there? If an accident happens, I have to run until my feet get sweaty, and aren’t I going to have a series of meetings about how tired I am?”

“…?!”

“Why would you want to sit in such a tiring position? “I actually don’t understand you any more.”

“Instead, you can wield omnipotent power.”

“Can you eat that power?”

“….”

“I can’t take responsibility for myself, so who are you trying to manipulate with your power? “Power is ultimately just an invisible illusion.”

“It’s an illusion that everyone believes.”

“So, both those in power and the idiots who blindly trust and follow them suffer miserable hardships. “Because you have to lead an unpleasant life, obsessed with illusions that don’t even exist.”

Seo-ryang, who was shaking the bottle, filled his own glass and even filled Hong Wei-mun’s glass.

“It’s all empty.”

“….”

“I must have finished drinking, and I must have thought about you. Now I just need to check one thing.”

Even though the glass was filled, Seoryang did not lift it.

“What I said in front of the Head of Criminal Justice was sincere. I don’t really want to roll around in the mud holding on to others. I have no intention of forgiving the guy who messed with me, but I might just overlook him depending on how I feel at the time. “I’m a bit fickle.”

“….”

“What are you going to do? Are you planning to attack me from behind again?”

“If that’s the case, what will you do?”

“I’ll leave it to my whim. At least it won’t turn out like the beautiful story in the novel.”

“Right.”

“So what is the answer?”

Hong Yuwen’s eyes sank deeply.

The corner of the mouth rises slightly. The relaxed smile he usually showed Shinhoe came to mind.

“No matter what answer I give, you won’t believe me, right?”

“….”

“If there is no point in deceiving, then answer like this. “I will definitely kill you someday.”

“okay?”

“Did you get the answer?”

Seoryang bowed his head for a moment and was lost in thought.

He immediately smiled and nodded.

“enough.”

Hong Yu-wen also nodded his head.

“Let’s finish the last glass and go on our way….”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

A tremendous explosion that shook dozens of people in a radius resounded.

And the person who caused the explosion was turning his head back and forth in front of the tree that had been broken by the shock wave.

“Where are we going?”

“Tsk!”

Hong Yu-moon, who had retreated a long distance, turned red.

Xu Liang smiled.

It was truly the smile of death, contrary to his relaxed and serious expression before.

“I thought about it really deeply, but I really can’t stand feeling uncomfortable afterwards.”

Crunch! Crump! Crunch!

He loosened all his fingers and opened the Amyeongjin Magic Ball.

“I will uproot the roots and go my own way!”
