Episode 284 The Ultimate Demon (4)
“Matriarch. “The entire amount of consolation money to be given to the bereaved families has been allocated.”
“Yes, you had a hard time.”
“no.”
A shadow fell on Namgung Dan’s face.
The bodies of the people who died in Gwangmokrim were recovered and the news of their deaths was delivered to the bereaved families. The head of the family personally delivered the news of the death.
How could I curse when the world’s Nangong family came to visit me in person? However, he could see signs of resentment on the faces of some of the bereaved family members.
It’s natural. I couldn’t help but feel resentful because he was the one who took my son’s husband and lost his life.
In the end, the only thing he could do was to make life easier for the bereaved family, such as solving their financial problems so that they could live well in the future.
It would be nice if there was something more I could do.
“Make sure to send it along with a letter saying you will visit whenever you have time. Of course, there may be some who are not happy.”
“All right.”
“Just go out and have a look.”
When the prosecutor left, Namgoong Dan swept his face with both hands.
‘Heavenly Dragon Palace…’
A few months ago, mysterious kidnapping incidents occurred throughout Anhui.
In most cases, this could be resolved with the power of the government, but the problem is that most of the families that were kidnapped were military families.
In the end, the Namgung family stepped forward to solve the problem. However, even though the rumor that Namgung was involved spread, kidnapping cases did not decrease.
It was not until several months later that it was revealed that the force that carried out the kidnapping was Cheonryonggung.
‘No matter what, you can’t believe you did something like this.’
An organization the size of Tianlong Palace has no choice but to pay attention to the opinions of those around it.
The perfect crime is never possible.
However, even though countless unmanned personnel were involved in the investigation, the kidnapping case continued. It wasn’t because I was confident that I wouldn’t get caught, but because I didn’t care if I got caught.
That means.
‘It means that someone is watching your back.’
And the identity of the person watching behind him was highly likely to be Uicheonmaeng.
‘I really don’t know. Lord, what on earth are you trying to do?’
There was no way to calm my frustrated heart. I wondered how someone with the name Uicheon could be so evil.
The real problem was that the current Namgung family could not do anything about the Uicheon lord.
Lord Uicheon was holding hands with most of the old factions. They were even joining hands with three of the five major powers.
Of course, it is not a strong cooperative relationship. This is because it is not a relationship where hearts are truly exchanged.
Still, there is no change in the fact that the Namgung family cannot do anything.
“How can the world go on…”
What deepens is a sigh and what increases is wrinkles.
Namgoong Dan, unable to overcome his frustrated feelings, left his office and walked around the area.
“Meet the matriarch!”
“Meet the matriarch!”
Every time he passed by, warriors knelt down and saluted him.
Normally I would have answered them one by one, but right now I wasn’t in the mood to do that. His steps were extremely heavy as he walked with a lot of worry.
How long did it take to walk like that?
‘hmm?’
Suddenly I looked up and found myself in front of the guesthouse.
Papa papang!
A faint crackling sound was heard from quite far away inside the guesthouse.
It was the sound of weapons tearing the air. Even though it does not contain any real energy, it produces such a powerful sound.
Namgungdan entered the guesthouse with a slight smile.
wickedness! Puff!
A special room in the guesthouse that is open to the most distinguished guests of the family.
In the wide open space in front of him, a man was taking off his shirt and brandishing a sword.
Namgung Dan’s face was filled with admiration.
‘That’s amazing.’
Once again, I am amazed.
Ma Dong-pil’s body without his top was absolutely perfect. Long, flexible, well-compressed muscles will be able to produce incredible endurance and explosive power.
The physique is large, but not so large that it interferes with movement. Although his body has been honed with a strong sword, at times he will be able to wield a sword that is as good as a strong sword.
‘How much effort did it take? Even I couldn’t train myself that much.’
It can be said to be the most ideal body for a swordsman. Although it is not an appropriate expression for a guard warrior in Xiaojiao Province, his body was disciplined to a degree that would make it unbelievable that he was a mere guard.
‘Every day must have been a series of pain. If you didn’t think about the sword even when you were sleeping, you wouldn’t have a body like that. He is truly a man who burned everything for the sake of martial arts.’
Paaaaang!
Ma Dong-pil, who burst into the air with a powerful punch, relaxed his posture.
He bowed his head toward Namgungdan.
“Are you here?”
Namgungdan approached with an embarrassed expression.
“I’m sorry. “Ma Howie’s training was so lively that I fell in love with it without even realizing it.”
“it’s okay.”
Even a three-year-old child knows that it is not polite to spy on someone else’s martial arts training. But Ma Dong-pil didn’t care, and that made Namgungdan feel even more sorry.
Ma Dong-pil said, wiping his sweat.
“Have you come to see Master Xiao?”
Namgungdan shook his head.
“I just kept walking and before I knew it, I had come to the guesthouse. “I was passing by when I heard a cheerful sound, so I stopped by.”
“I see.”
“What is the status of West Xiaoqiao?”
“You are regaining your strength.”
“He’s a very strong person, so there won’t be any major problems.”
“That’s right. But…”
Ma Dong-pil looked at Namgungdan as if he were puzzled.
“Do you have any concerns?”
“hmm? Hehe, Ma Howie thinks my face isn’t that bright.”
“That’s right.”
Namgoongdan, who was looking at Ma Dongpil with a smile, wanted to talk to this blunt man at that moment.
“Do you have a moment?”
“of course.”
“It’s a bit awkward to go somewhere, so let’s sit here for a while.”
Namgungdan, sitting on the stone that decorated the perimeter of the artificial pond, spoke calmly.
“It must be very difficult.”
“What do you mean?”
“If the person serving you is great, the subordinates will also get tired.”
Ma Dong-pil filed a complaint.
“you’re right. It is the honor of three lives to serve Lord Sogyo, but it is also true that it is difficult.”
“Seo So-gyo is by far the most outstanding young person I have ever seen. In fact, he didn’t look like a young man at all.
I felt like I was watching the Grand Master. In fact, it seems like he has accumulated a lot of martial arts skills.”
Namgungdan shook his head.
“He is a martial arts expert at the level of a teenage expert at an age when he is not even young… Even after ten years, even five years, there will be no warrior in the world who can rival Sogyo.”
There is no one to join the party. In other words, all couples are equal and the best in the world. Namgungdan truly thought so as he looked at Seoliang.
Ma Dong-pil did not say anything. There exists a real demon god that is difficult to overcome even after fifty years, not just five.
Perhaps the demon was not a human being and should not be placed in the category of the best in the world.
If you think about it in that respect, Seoliang could definitely be said to be the person closest to being the next best person in the world.
“Do you know what I thought was really great about Seo So-gyo?”
“What is?”
“That he is not arrogant.”
It always feels good to hear praise for the person you serve. A gentle smile appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s blunt face.
“You’ve never done that before.”
“Even Howie Ma knows how great that is.
“At an age full of blood, it is natural for one to become arrogant enough to be able to compete with the strongest fighters in the Central Plains, but that was not the case with Seo Jiao.”
Namgoong Dan smiled.
It was a truly nice smile.
“I look forward to seeing what a great giant he will become in the future and cast his shadow over the central region.”
“Isn’t it okay for the head of the house to say things like that?”
“hmm? “What do you mean?”
“The Heavenly Demon Church and the Namgung family are clearly in conflict. In other words, the head of the Little Church is the enemy of the head of the family.”
Namgungdan chuckled.
“There’s no law that says you can’t admire your enemy. “In the future, when you aim your spear knife, all you have to do is hit it with all your might.”
“…okay.”
“I think your own ability is enough to prove that you can become a great person. However, the proof for myself is to use the soul I have cultivated so far.”
Namgung Dan’s eyes lit up.
“At least I am confident that I have lived a life that I am not ashamed of. So, even if the opponent is a minor sect leader of a Protestant religion, I am not afraid.”
Namgoong Dan added with a puzzled expression.
“Well, it wouldn’t even take ten seconds to point it out.”
Ma Dong-pil thought. He is truly a man I cannot help but acknowledge.
Is it a soft and flexible drone? Not like that.
This person is a great hero who is both flexible and strong. With self-confidence and unobtrusive courage, there is nothing to be afraid of in the whole world.
A person who has already achieved perfection on his own. There was a reason why he could not be discouraged in the face of someone stronger than him and could be confident in the face of injustice.
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
“Please correct me. “It won’t even be a mistake.”
“exactly? haha!”
Namgoongdan laughed out loud.
Soon his expression became bitter.
“But lately, my values have been shaking a lot.”
“Why is that so?”
“Do you know what I was doing a little while ago?”
Namgungdan looked up at the sky.
It was chilly, but there wasn’t a single cloud. It was a fascinating sight.
“This time, I have taken care of matters related to the families of the warriors who died in Gwangmokrim.”
“….”
“How can the weight of life be measured in money? However, money is the only thing that actually helps the bereaved families.
I went and apologized in person, but that wouldn’t be enough. “Nothing other than money will be enough.”
“I guess so.”
Ma Dong-pil shook his head.
“But the warriors who were with the head of the family would never think that their death was the fault of the head of the family.”
“Of course you will. I too know their hearts. “But.”
Namgungdan filed a complaint.
“Even though I’ve been doing this for dozens of years, I can’t imagine the weight of his heart.”
Ma Dong-pil, who was staring at Namgungdan, shook his head.
“Heads of all organizations in the world live with such concerns.”
“I know. “Maybe my worries aren’t that special.”
“But he doesn’t seem like a person whose values would be shaken by such concerns.”
Namgung Dan sighed.
“Values… It’s not just because of that that my heart is shaken.”
“if?”
“I don’t know if this is the right path.”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face.
“You probably know that we were there for the Tianlong Palace.”
“That’s right.”
“The cruel acts committed by the Heavenly Dragon Palace were probably able to last for so long thanks to this person who looked after them.”
Although it is not mentioned because it is the opponent, Ma Dong-pil also knew who Namgoong Dan was talking about.
‘Uicheon Lord.’
Namgungdan’s fist gained strength.
“Others say this. “I tell them to follow the trend and that the values of the world change with the passage of time, so don’t be stubborn and choose the easy path.”
“The easy path is not necessarily the wrong path.”
“exactly. but… “I think the path you’ve been taking lately is definitely wrong.”
“But why are you worrying?”
“People die.”
“….”
“My people are living a difficult life because the people in my family did not follow the trend.”
A dark shadow fell on Namgung Dan’s face.
“It’s not like my life is going to change just because I put a little dirt on my pants, but I feel bad because my people are suffering because of my pointless stubbornness.”
“You won’t be able to be confident.”
“hmm?”
“If dirt gets on your pants, the soul you are proving to yourself will become cloudy. According to what the matriarch said.”
Ma Dong-pil nodded.
“I think I understand why you’re worried. “If I were in the same situation, I would probably be in deep agony.”
“haha.”
“I am just a guard warrior, so I cannot fully understand the feelings of the head of the family. Just…”
“Just?”
“The moment a person falls into the mindset that since everyone else is doing it, it will be okay for me too, they lose their confidence.
The reason is because I know better than anyone else that it is not the right path.”
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
“That is why both the head of the family and I highly regarded the head of the family. “The matriarch did not waver even in the face of temptation to which everyone else had succumbed.”
“….”
“It is a difficult task even for the world’s top ten experts.”
Namgoong Dan, who was blankly looking at Ma Dong-pil, burst into laughter.
“I never thought I would be comforted by a Protestant warrior rather than an adult at home.”
“It wasn’t comforting.”
“The world will not know. “The people they despise as demonic religions are such proud and wonderful people.”
Ma Dong-pil chuckled.
“Didn’t Master Xiao come to the central plain to tell you that?”
“what? haha!”
Namgungdan stood up.
“I feel quite refreshed by this unexpected conversation. “If you have time, would you like to have a drink with this person?”
“I am Lord Xiao…”
“You can drink here. I don’t know if you know this, but there is no organization in the Anhui area that will touch my family. “Don’t worry.”
Ma Dong-pil cleared his throat.
“Then let’s just have a few drinks.”
“haha! Good!”
Seoryang, who was in the lotus position on the bed, began to tremble. His sensitive senses were able to hear the entire conversation the two were having in the garden.
Xu Liang grumbled softly.
“If you do well, I’ll date you.”
