Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 440 The Necessity of Madness (5)

The next morning.

“omg? “What is this?”

The face of Jin Guang, the general manager of the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce, turned pale.

“Golden Dictionary? this!”

The golden certificate was meant to be a first grade certificate. As soon as the name is given in a color that only the head of the company can grant, a letter is delivered to the information office of the company.

“This is not the time!”

Without even looking back, Jin Gwang ran to the conference room at the headquarters of the company,

followed by a secret shadow.

“Sir!”

Looking at Wijinobaek who had returned, Jin Gwang hurriedly asked,

“How are you? Are you okay?”

“It’s okay.”

The voice was particularly hard and awkward. However, Jin Gwang was so anxious that he did not notice it.

“What did the Demon Cult say… Oh no! That’s not important right now! What happened to the Golden Battlefield all of a sudden?!”

“I’m tired. “I just want to rest, so please leave.”

“Hoeju!”

“I asked you to leave.”

“⋯⋯.”

Jin Gwang had no choice but to lower his head.

“⋯⋯Yes.”

“General.”

“yes?”

“Do not allow anyone into my residence until noon tomorrow. “I want to be alone.”

Jin Gwang’s face showed concern.

“Could you at least explain the situation, Lord? The elders are agitated. There is a lot of backlash for blocking Zhejiang’s trade route without any word…”

“I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“⋯⋯I understand. I will do my best to comfort the elders.”

That’s how the light went out.

Wisinobag, who was left alone, sat on the chair with a blank face.

He usually had good posture, but today he was particularly stiff. He was acting like a person whose joints couldn’t straighten well, and that appearance gave off a strange eerie feeling.

After a while , .

“It’s really hard to do the fuhu stealth technique after such a long time.”

Suddenly, Seo-ryang appeared next to Wijinobaek.

He grumbled softly.

“They say it’s the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and the security is much stricter than that of most major clans. After all, it’s about managing money.”

One of the misconceptions people have is that the top guard is weaker than that of the martial arts faction.

The majority of the members of the martial arts faction are trained in martial arts. Therefore, even without setting up separate guards, each member also acts as a security guard.

On the other hand, the main members of the upper tier are merchants. Most of them are even connected to the martial arts group, so the risk of being robbed by thieves is much greater than that of the clans

. Naturally, they had no choice but to be thorough in money management and expenses. In particular, the perimeter of the headquarters must be considered almost impregnable.

Although it is not as strong as during active duty, even Seoryang, who remembers King Sal’s martial arts, had to feel embarrassed several times despite having Wijinobaek at the forefront. If you think about it, it was truly a great caution.

“Just in case, should I continue to pay attention to stealth techniques in the future?”

He muttered to himself, but the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who was protecting him from an unseen place, couldn’t help but be horrified.

‘What on earth can’t you do?’

He also assisted Lee Cheon-sang, the leader of the previous sect.

Lee Cheon-sang never showed any stealth skills. This was because he had no need to use them in the first place and Lee Cheon-sang’s way of doing things was not that secretive.

On the other hand, Seo-ryang, the leader of the contemporary sect, not only did simple martial arts, but also actively developed strategies. In addition, he was skilled in stealth and conversation skills, which instantly overturned the plan he had set up.

In particular, in the case of stealth, he was at a better level than a new member of the Hocheon Demon Emperor. Even though he learned traditional magic arts, not magic arts specialized in stealth like the Hocheon Demon Emperor Dan, he was still good at it. C.

It was not an area that could be explained as having a high level. Demon Emperor Danju was beyond surprised by Xoryang’s versatility and was appalled.

‘This is why he is called a god.’

There is nothing that cannot be done and there is no place that cannot be advanced.

A person who sees everything and can do everything.

“Anyway, I arrived safely, so I must do what I have to do.”

Seoliang placed his hand on Wizinobaek’s shoulder.

Wizinobaek was steadfast. As before, he was staring blankly ahead and did not even blink.

“Excluding the public funds of the Chamber of Commerce, how much are your personal assets?”

“ “It’s 2.45 million taels of gold.”

Seo-ryang stuck out his tongue.

“You stole quite a lot of it?”

“That’s right.”

Seoliang answered in a polite manner.

Seoryang ridiculed such a Wizinobag.

“You guys gathered together because you hate the main school? Is the purpose of destroying it? You are making me laugh. I can’t help but think about the idea of having a guy who is drunk on money and embezzles public funds as the leader.” “I will deal with our school.”

It’s a common story. They come together for a common goal, but they become so absorbed in success and wealth that they soon become complacent. This

is the type of person that Seo-ryang absolutely detests. It doesn’t matter if he or she is complacent, but those who deceive themselves are the ones who deceive themselves. I hated it.

It was the same with Wijinobaek.

He said he didn’t mind losing everything, but when Seoryang was in front of him, he trembled with fear.

It wasn’t because Seoliang’s presence was overwhelming or because of the primal fear of demonic energy. From the beginning, Wijinobaek was prepared to die. I didn’t do it. It was because I was completely fed up with the power and power that money gives me.

That’s why I fell under the spell of death so easily.

‘When can I use it again in the future?’

The command beast is close to a type of mental torture technique that injects extreme fear into the opponent and breaks his or her mind.

However, as the reigning Demon Emperor gets closer to greatness, there are more things that the command beast can do. One of them is hypnosis. It is possible to almost completely turn an opponent into a puppet.

However, it cannot be returned to the way it was before being attacked by the spirit beast, and because the victim’s brain power is used ten times more than normal, the lifespan decreases rapidly. In other words, it is okay to kill. ‘It is a secret art that should never be used unless you are the target of it.

Moreover, hypnosis is the final secret art of the spirit beast and cannot be used for several months until the death spirit energy is recovered.

‘ Actually, it’s not a method I like very much.’

It is better to just cut off the opponent’s head cleanly than to make fun of him. That was the way of Xiliang. Unless it was a special case like this, the commandant would not have even brought it up.

“Now, let’s get back to work.”

Xi Liang asked Wizino Baek,

“The golden letters sent to each intelligence office are your sole authority, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t it true that no one can confirm the contents until we reach the intelligence office?”

“That’s right.”

“Once the golden letter enters the information center, how long does it take for it to spread throughout the central plains?”

“It can be as short as two days or as long as five days.”

The golden book written by Wijinobaek, precisely under the direction of Seoliang, contained detailed information about the illegal businesses that Gangseo Store had been secretly carrying out.

If the contents spread throughout the central region, Gangseo Merchant Association will suffer a serious blow. We will no longer be able to care about Honam affairs or trade.

“It’s perfect. And one more thing.”

Xiliang’s eyes flashed.

“In order to restore the blockage of Zhejiang’s trade routes, I need your seal and secret language, as well as permission to write your own handwriting?”

“That’s right.”

Xu Liang frowned.

‘You can do that with the seal and secret words, but the handwriting…’

People who professionally check letters can identify people with only subtle changes in strokes.

Currently, Wizinovac’s condition is very unstable. Although he could clearly carry out the tasks he was asked to do, it was difficult to perform even delicate tasks such as writing letters without making mistakes.

‘Well, just delivering the seal and secret language in the first place will take quite a long time. That’s the way it should be…’

How about changing your thoughts?

The fact that Zhejiang’s trade route is blocked means that the southern commercial route is also blocked. Gangseo Chamber of Commerce, which is considered the highest peak of the Southern Chamber of Commerce, has blocked 70 percent of them, so it is a huge blow to Shinkyo as well.

However, if you try to resolve this right away, your connection with Dam Sa-yeong may be severed. Xiliang didn’t want that.

‘You have to kill two birds with one stone. ‘It’s an issue that cannot be prioritized.’

It was then.

“uh?”

A sudden thought occurred to Seo-ryang and he asked Wijinobaek.

“You said that Damsayoung should contact you first, right? “Can’t you send a message from your side?”

“Yes.”

“How often do you usually contact me?”

“It’s different every time, but on average, you will be contacted once a quarter. Sometimes it comes over three or four days.”

An evil smile appeared on Xu Liang’s face.

“So, you’re saying we leave a certain period of time?”

“That’s true if nothing special happens.”

Then, we can make a big deal out of it, right?

‘I guess I’ll have to use a method that old Dam used often.’

His hand holding Wizinovac’s shoulder tightened.

“Now, you have a chance to extend your life for a few more days.”

“Master.”

“What’s going on?”

Dam Sa-young, who had been chatting with Zheng Zhenbaek for a while, frowned.

Dan Li-hu’s face still did not change. But Dam Si-young felt intuitively that Dan Li-hu was embarrassed. She had an

ominous feeling. Seeing Dan Li-hu so embarrassed. I’ve never seen it

before. Dan Lihu glanced at the money transfer bag.

Dam Sayoung raised her hand.

“It’s okay. “Report.”

“Gangseo Store is suffering from bad rumors.”

“What do you mean, bad rumors? What?”

“All kinds of illegal businesses that the company has been conducting over the past dozen years have been put on the chopping block.”

Damsayoung frowned.

“Aren’t such rumors common?”

“That’s right, but this time it’s more problematic because the atmosphere is criticizing anti-Jeonghoe and Chilpa.”

“what?”

“An atmosphere was created that it was because the factions that should have stepped up in time did not correct the situation. “If such an atmosphere spread so quickly, it is proof that the negative rumors about Gangseo Sanghoe were highlighted in great detail and seriously.”

“her!”

Damsayoung shook her head.

“Where does the rumor come from?”

“That’s…”

Dan Lihu could not easily open his mouth.

“Why are you silent? Where did it come from?”

“This is Biyeondan (飛燕團).”

“A non-podium? You really mean that non-podium?”

“That’s right. “The Gangseo Chamber of Commerce’s best source of information, Bipyeondan, is spreading rumors throughout the central region.”

Dam Sa-yeong almost refrained from swearing without even realizing it.

Although the intelligence power of the Feidan cannot match Hao Wen in scope, it is comparable to Hao Wen in terms of the area they are in charge of. And that information power has helped tremendously in the growth of Gangseo Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, Biyeondan was an organization under the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce and was inseparable. That kind of information center is spreading such evil rumors?

“There is no way the Bi-Podium could have done something like that on its own. “Is this the work of the Lord?”

“I can’t figure it out for sure. But I heard that he received a golden letter.”

“Golden Dictionary?!”

The Golden Book refers to an absolute command that only the Lord of the Lord can write. No one can know its contents until it is delivered to the main altar, and in terms of the sect, it is an emergency color that is not easily used except in times of war. “That can’t be possible… unless

Hoeju doesn’t go crazy.”

“Didn’t you get hit?”

Song Sang-baek frowned.

“I don’t know the circumstances, but if such a bad rumor spreads, I think it’s clear that someone is working behind the scenes.”

Dam Sa-yeong nodded.

“You might think so, but the position of head of the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce is safer than that of Jang Mun-in of the Old Daemun Sect. Even if I was harmed by someone, I am not the kind of person who would confess to the enemy about the Golden Book.”

“then?”

Dam Sa-young’s eyes deepened.

“Do you think this old man suddenly betrayed me?”

That’s quite possible. The probability of being betrayed is much higher than the probability of being betrayed by someone.

However, Dam Sa-yeong felt uneasy. His sixth sense, trained over decades of Kang-ho’s various conspiracies and noble orders, was telling him that this situation was not simple at all.

“Besides, strange rumors are also spreading.”

Dam Sa-yeong and Song Sang-baek saw Dan Li-hu.

“A strange rumor?”

“Master’s name is mentioned.”

“My Name?”

“Rumors are secretly spreading that the person behind the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce is the master behind the scenes.”

“⋯⋯!!”
