Side Story Episode 50. Leader’s Authority (6)
Lee Cheon-sang, who returned to his residence, sat on the bed in silence and crossed his legs.
Heo Pil, who was about to say something at the indifferent back that blocked any room for communication, clicked his tongue and returned to his seat.
How long has it been like that?
Ugh.
A faint golden magical energy leaked from Li Cheon-sang’s body.
The amount of demon energy was extremely small, but its density was surprising. Heo Pil’s eyes, watching him, were shaken with astonishment.
After a while.
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes, relaxed his posture, and looked out the window.
‘The sun is already setting.’
Geumgang Yacha Magic Gong was clearly a great magic craft.
However, if the person handling it does not have the capabilities, it cannot exert its proper power. That was the same for any martial arts skill.
Although Lee Cheon-sang grew amazingly in a short period of time, he had a fundamental problem in that he spent less time learning martial arts than others.
No matter how genius you are, it is difficult to overcome time. Unless you are a considerable expert, it is necessary to take time to master the sword you first hold to suit your body.
That was Lee Cheon-sang’s weakness. Since the time that the magic energy settles in the body is absolutely small, there is a loss in the ability to utilize the magic energy or the recovery ability of the magic energy.
I’m getting used to it quickly, but a weakness is a weakness. What Lee Cheon-sang needed now was time.
“Is it over?”
Lee Cheon-sang turned his head.
Heo Pil, sitting on the bed, was looking at him with a stern expression.
“okay.”
“Good speed. “I can’t believe I’m performing in front of someone I don’t even know.”
Lee Cheon-sang changed his clothes without saying a word.
Heo Pil, who was about to open his mouth again, was startled without realizing it.
‘What is that body?’
All upper body muscles were developed evenly. It was a body that looked good to anyone.
But what caught Heo Pil’s attention was the deep, deep scar carved on Lee Cheon-sang’s back.
‘What’s going on like that…’ … ?’
Although it was mostly healed, it felt as if it had been hacked to pieces by dozens of large and small hooks.
In particular, just looking at the three large wounds running diagonally was enough to give me goosebumps. It was like a wound from the paw of a huge tiger.
The front is clean, but the back is covered in scars. It was a strange body.
Heo Pil, who was staring at the wound as if fascinated, opened his mouth.
“Why did you do that?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked back at Heo Pil.
As expected, it was an indifferent look.
“I’m talking about the three leaders. Why did you make it to that point?”
“I thought everyone was hearing it from outside.”
Of course, I was listening to everything.
“Yes, I heard the reason.”
“But what are you asking?”
“It was crazy.”
“is it.”
“Wasn’t it meant to provoke him? I know your skills are great, but he’s dangerous. What’s more, he said that behind him was Jaso Daema… … .”
“Go to Homiru.”
“… … what?”
Lee Cheon-sang said, putting on a jangsam over his changed top.
“There is a possibility that he will raid this place after the sun completely sets.”
“… … ?!”
“Whether it’s going to Homiru and drinking or climbing the mountain behind and practicing, spend your time as you please.”
“What kind of nonsense is that? “A surprise attack?”
On the contrary, the sight of Lee Cheon-sang tilting his head as if he did not understand was the highlight.
“Official training begins in two days. Unit maintenance is due tomorrow.”
“so?”
“I don’t think he’ll wait until training.”
“… … what?”
“The governor of Ilgakju tried to punish me. I just couldn’t do it because there were so many eyes watching. “If I hadn’t intentionally made a fuss, this wouldn’t have gone unnoticed.”
Heo Pil’s eyes wavered.
He said he intentionally created a commotion. In that case, this current situation should be seen as the result of Lee Cheon-sang, not anyone else.
“You knew it would happen like this?”
“I thought there was a lot of potential.”
“Are you saying you sacrificed your neck for something you’re not sure about?”
“He wouldn’t have been able to kill me, even if it was because of someone watching my back. “You must have called me by that name before you killed me.”
“… … !”
He says without hesitation that he has a back.
An ordinary person would never say that out loud at a moment like this. It would be embarrassing, and he wouldn’t want his achievements to fade.
Looking at that, I could see how misguided Yeon Chi-sang was, believing in his father’s halo and causing this mess.
“The Yeonchi Award is ignoring the footnotes. “Lyeongju couldn’t kill himself, so why should he be considered a footnote?”
“… … Right.”

“They are definitely targeting me.”
“I know what you mean. Even if I kill you, it means I’m confident that I can handle the consequences.”
“Yes.”
“But why are you aiming for sunset? At first glance, he seemed like a guy with a lot of pride. He said he would attack in the dark… … .”
“If I had strong pride, I would have announced the end, in front of everyone.”
“… … ?!”
“Besides, he surprised me once. And that attack didn’t work. “He won’t think I can’t beat him, but he will think he’s a formidable opponent.”
“… … .”
“There is a high chance of a surprise attack under the cover of darkness.”
He was an amazing guy.
It’s surprising that it achieved this result, but the surprise lies in the distribution rather than the smartness. No one would think of an individual taking advantage of a superior. It’s not because I’m stupid, it’s because I can’t bring myself to do that.
But now, the words that analyzed Yeon Chi-sang’s behavior were not something that could be said to be good only for distribution.
‘This guy is smart.’
Watching the flow and people’s reactions within that short event and preparing for what happens next.
It was not something that even a lot of knowledge could do. This was wisdom. The wisdom of a wise man with a keen eye.
“He doesn’t care about his surroundings, so there’s a chance he could harm me, who shares the same room with him.”
“It won’t be much damage. “If you have that kind of personality, you could kill someone.”
“If it goes as planned.”
Heo Pil tilted his head with a sneer.
“But why today?”
“I do not get what it means.”
“Until tomorrow, unit maintenance. “Couldn’t we aim for tomorrow?”
“Do you mean his personality?”
“… … !”
“It won’t be easy to get past today, with that much patience.”
“… … .”
“If the raid fails, there will be trouble. Even if he defeats me, he will also suffer quite a bit of damage. He wouldn’t want to go into training with a wounded body, so today had to be the right time… … .”
“… … ?”
“No. He wouldn’t even think about it that way. In any case, there is a high possibility that he will target today.”
I feel like a fool somehow.
As I listened to Lee Cheon-sang’s words, I felt that it was an overly obvious analysis. However, it was not easy to infer that point. Even if we had guessed it, it would have been difficult to be certain.
Even as he clicked his tongue, Heo Pil spoke crookedly.
“Jo Won is having a hard time because of the troublemaker he’s promoting.”
“My troubles increased because of the stupid team member.”
“what?”
“Do you really think that guy will only scold the people in that room?”
“… … ?!”
“If he gets tired of playing with the people in his room, he will snoop around in the next room, and if he runs out of fun there, he will go for the next room again. “If it repeats itself, it will one day have a magical effect on you as well.”
A subtle suspicion appeared in Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes.
“Did your thoughts not reach that point?”
Heo Pil’s face turned slightly red.
But I had something to say.
“There is a tendency to over-interpret things that didn’t happen.”
“What kind of emotion is it that causes us to try to ignore something that has a high probability of happening? “Is it because of pride?”
“… … you.”
“Look a little more broadly and analyze in detail. “I intend to support Jo Won, but I don’t want to be dragged around because of a stupid Jo Won.”
“Don’t be funny. No matter how strong his backing is, if he causes an accident like that, he will never be safe. To the point where I don’t even know that much… … .”
“You know that much, but you must have seen yesterday and today that you are an emotional person who doesn’t care.”
“… … !!”
“Focus on the phenomenon. Shingyo is just like life in the wild. “If your head doesn’t function properly, your neck will run away.”
“… … .”
“As time passes, there will be more people who will become dependent on him and act as his subordinates. It’s just a matter of time, the entire building here will be playing to him.”
Heo Pil’s cheeks trembled.
Lee Cheon-sang said as he passed by Heo Pil.
“If you can handle it, I don’t mind staying in this room.”
With those words, Lee Cheon-sang left the room.
Heo Pil, who was left alone, spoke as if chewing.
“What is this guy?”
I couldn’t tell how many times I had said this.
* * *
Lee Cheon-sang came out of the building and immediately looked around.
‘That’s a lot.’
It was a number of Mines wandering around the building. A few people were caught around Igak, and the same was true in Samgak.
Before the sun completely set, there were quite a few people going to have a drink. Surprisingly, there were also demons training, but because it was an open area, they only passively wielded their weapons.
Standing with his arms crossed behind the shaded building, Lee Cheon-sang suddenly looked up at the sky.
The sky is colored in a soft purple color. If an ordinary person had seen the sky, they would have been amazed at how beautiful it was, but Lee Cheon-sang was not impressed at all.
‘I guess I’ll just have to wait a little longer.’
Lee Cheon-sang suddenly thought of Heo Pil.
‘Your skills are good.’
Even though he didn’t show it, just by looking at his eyes or gait, you could tell that he was a very talented person.
‘Maybe it’s more than me.’
Heo Pil also had a lot to hide.
Lee Cheon-sang couldn’t read how deep and vast Heo Pil’s inner strength was.
That was truly amazing. Although he did not hide it openly, he who could see through Yeon Chi-sang’s vast amount of internal power at a glance did not see Heo Pil’s internal power.
It is unknown whether he is hiding his immense power or whether he is learning a special martial art.
One thing is certain: Heo Pil’s military power is outstanding.
‘But you can’t just excel at military power.’
Having excellent military power is a strength, but trusting that military power and running wild without thinking is dangerous.
The tiger reigns as the king of the mountains. And the person who caught the tiger was a weak human being who had a hard time hitting a wolf with his bare hands.
If there were a tiger with human intelligence, how threatening would it be?
The Jo Won that Lee Cheon-sang wanted, and the one he wanted to become, was exactly that kind of beast.
‘He seemed to have strong pride. To deal with in the future… … .’
For a moment, Lee Cheon-sang flinched.
Thinking about the trillion won and calculating the future.
It wasn’t anything particularly strange, but he realized that he was somehow different from his previous self.
Whoa!
The cool wind hit the building, turning it into a sharp piece of debris that caught the back of Lee Cheon-sang’s neck.
Before I knew it, the sky had returned to complete darkness.
‘It’s time.’
Lee Cheon-sang moved.
“… … .”
Yang Baek-ho’s eyes deepened as he looked out the window.
“Who is outside the door?”
“Can I come in?”
The voice was bold, but somehow hard to read.
‘What is this voice?’
A voice that is impressive yet strangely something you want to stay away from.
Yang Baek-ho turned around.
“Come in.”
Grumble.
There was a young man coming through the door.
Stylish physique, indifferent expression.
Yang Baek-ho’s eyes sparkled.
“You’re just a small part of the group. The name… … .”
“This is Lee Cheon-sang.”
“… … .”
“I came here because I have something to tell you.”
