之Guin Murim Episode 285 ‘Dare to Be My Disciple!’
‘I just paid back what I suffered. The principal has been paid off with this, so please discuss the remaining compound interest with our guild leadership.’
‘… … You bastard.’ ‘I understand that you agreed.’ ‘Today’s work… … I will never forget.’ This is a conversation we had just a few minutes ago.
Lee Jeong-ryong left the place leaving behind a life-threatening word.
First aid was given with the potion he had, but the injury Park Ji-hoon suffered was so deep that potions alone could not heal him. His own disciple had become like that, so he must have been in a hurry.
“phew.”
When Lee Jeong-ryong’s presence, which was felt far away, completely disappeared, a sigh of relief flowed out.
“Ooh, that’s hard.”
When I let go of the string of tension that I was holding on to until the end, my pulse is released.
I’m tired. Although he suffered some internal injuries from the clash with Lee Blue Dragon, his mental fatigue was greater than that.
‘I hit an accident properly.’ Today, I turned an S-class hunter and a super-large guild recognized in the world into enemies.
A tightrope ride on a steep cliff as the stage.
Lee Jeong-ryong and I met in the middle of a single line, and in the end it was that side that withdrew.
‘I couldn’t help it. I dug into that part exactly.’ People who have a lot to lose are afraid of taking risks.
If the tiger named Lee Jeong-ryong or the Ares guild falls down, the honor of the mountain army will fall to the ground, and the corpse will become good food for the forest animals, that is, competitors.
‘Of course, the clean way to solve it would have been to kill people… … Lee Jeong-ryong knows. That I’m not that kind of an opponent.
A single clash confirmed that he had the upper hand, but it must have been enough for him to realize that the wolf in front of him was quite a threat.
I thought as I rubbed the blood on my mouth.
‘Three steps.’
Against Lee Jeong-ryong today, I took three steps back.
But today’s three steps will soon become two steps, and soon two steps will be narrowed down to one step.
And next… … .
‘I’m going to surpass you.’ I have never seen a documentary about a wolf defeating a tiger one-on-one, as I told Lee Seong-ryong.
But I have the potential to grow endlessly. Like the nickname Jamryong (潛龍).
‘At that time, both me and our guild will be stronger than you thought.’ It is not only Lim Kkeok-jeong’s revenge that has been achieved through this incident. I got a golden opportunity to grow the Peace Guild.
If they were scared of Black Hunter’s attack and withdrew at first, the Peace Guild would have remained a mediocre guild.
‘That person will do well.’ Suddenly, I remembered a conversation I had with team leader Choi a few hours ago.
‘What are you planning to do?’
‘well. If my guess is correct, I don’t know what to do with my eyes turned upside down’
‘Are you planning to invade the Myeongdong Guild?’ ‘I can’t guarantee it’s not.’ After hearing what I said, Song Songi said she was crazy, but Deacon Kim just looked at me in silence.
But Chief Choi was different.
What he said far exceeded my expectations.
‘Then go.’
‘yes?’
‘Myeongdong Guild. Go beat it up and knock it over. Oh, but that doesn’t mean knocking down buildings and killing people in the middle of Seoul.
If you don’t do it right, the prison will become a guild house,’ ‘… … I thought you would dry it.’ ‘I would have stopped, if it wasn’t for Mr. Jin Tae-kyung.
He must have racked his brains and found another way.’ ‘But why?’ ‘Jin Tae-gyeong looks reckless at first glance, but he always moves with the worst in mind.
And always comes with the best results.’ ‘Really, are you okay?’ ‘I plan to raise the Peace Guild to be the best in the world.
If a guild member withdraws from an attack, they can never become the best in the world.’ ‘Then really… … ‘do it. Whatever the outcome, I will take responsibility.’ The last words from team leader Choi seemed to resonate vividly in my ears.
‘I believe in Jin Tae-kyung. Perhaps more than myself,’ I reciprocated the infinite trust he had given me.
He gave Park Ji-hoon more than Lim Kkeok-jeong suffered, and he was implicitly promised an apology and compensation for enemies he did not dare to touch.
‘The world’s best guild.’ When I recall Team Leader Choi’s bold aspirations, a smile leaks out.
I took out my cell phone and made a call.
As soon as the signal was gone, one person answered the phone.
– Yes. This is Minwoo Choi.
Chief Choi. That’s it.
“I have a lot to tell you. Where can I go?”
– Mr. Jin Tae-kyung! You’re alive!
– I thought he was dead. Are you really Taekyung Jin?
I believe you are more than you. … .
* * * “Jihun! Come to your senses!” The teacher’s desperate cry and urgent steps toward the young student.
Park Tae-seop, the head of the Myeong-dong guild, who was closely following Lee Jeong-ryong, looked at his back with a surprised look.
‘Did Lee Jeong-ryong have this kind of side?’ He had watched Lee Jeong-ryong for a long time.
At the time of the cataclysm, I somehow thought that he was a difficult person to approach.
However, after the end of the war, the Ares guild was established and Lee Jeong-ryong seized the real power, and his true identity was clearly known.
Hard as steel, stealthy as a poisonous snake, he does things that would make others shudder without hesitation.
From Park Tae-seop’s point of view, Lee Jeong-ryong was such a person. He’s someone I don’t want to meet either as an enemy or as an ally.
‘The author was also a human after all.’ However, the strange inspiration Park Tae-seop felt disappeared without a trace the moment he entered the hallway alone.
“Are you here?”
It was a middle-aged man. Moderate behavior like a soldier. His extremely trained body cannot be covered even with the black suit he is wearing.
The same was true of the twenty men and women who stood behind him like pylons. An emblem representing the Ares guild was embedded on their chests.
‘I didn’t even feel the presence.’ Park Tae-seop’s shock was not the only one.
Looking over the middle-aged man’s shoulder, he found about a hundred Myeongdong guild members lying down, and he opened his eyes.
“What is this… … !” the middle-aged man replied in a dry voice.
“I just put it to sleep with sleep magic. Not yet.”
till now.
A meaningful word. Right now, it’s only because of the power of magic, but it also means that you can sleep forever.
Park Tae-seop, who was furious, was about to shout.

“Are there any problems?”
Lee Jeong-ryong’s new model gradually turned around. And Park Tae-seop, who faced him, realized that he had made a huge mistake.
‘It was all acting,’ the expressionless face and deeply sunken eyes that showed no emotion. I can’t find the urgent steps and desperate cries of worrying about the safety of the disciple.
A cool chill crawled up Park Tae-seop’s spine.
“Look, Guild Master Park.”
You can feel the blade hidden in your soft voice. Every time the snake’s tongue moved, it seemed that poison flowed out.
“About 20 years ago. One day you came to me and knelt down on your knees.”
U ≪ “Do you still remember?” “… … of course.” Park Tae-seop gritted his teeth.
How could I not remember? It’s already been 20 years, but the urgency I felt at that time remained deep in my bones.
Successive large-scale business failures, huge debts and people’s eyes looking at the failures… … For Park Tae-seop, it was a living hell more terrible than a cataclysm.
After being rejected numerous times by people around him, it was Lee Jeong-ryong who went to visit him.
He looked at Park Tae-seop on his knees and asked a question.
‘If I help, what can you do for me?’ There was no hesitation in Park Tae-seop’s answer.
‘I’ll do anything.’ ‘I like that.’ What if he hadn’t said that?
I’ve asked myself this question hundreds or thousands of times over the past 20 years, but it’s meaningless. I’ve come too far to go back already.
There was no favor without a price, and he had to commit all sorts of crimes for Lee Jeong-ryong.
When he came to his senses, he only saw himself being dragged by the leash.
“These days, when I look at the guild leader Park, I suddenly feel that way. Everything he said to me when he came to visit me at that time feels like an empty gangjeong.” “Could it be?” “no.
The animal called human is originally like that. Even if you receive grace, you quickly forget your gratitude and only complain. Even if you let a guy who was about to freeze to death live, does he change his mind when he warms up over a campfire? I want this, haha.” Unlike the curled up corners of his mouth, Lee Jeong-ryong’s eyes were as cold as ice.
When Park Tae-seop lowered his head with a hard face, a softer voice continued.
“I meant to keep doing well in the future. Your guild members will be fine, so don’t worry about anything. Isn’t that right, Team Leader Seok?”
Team leader Seok, a middle-aged man in charge of protecting Lee Jeong-ryong, answered in a dry voice.
“of course.”
“Okay, then I’ll have to go. See you next time.”
Tuk-tuk.
Tae-seop Park looked at Jeong-ryong Lee’s back as he patted his shoulder and left.
Team leader Seok opened his mouth in the elevator going down.
“Should I handle it?”
“who? Ah, Park Tae-seop.”
“yes. His expression was uneasy.”
“That friend shows his thoughts all over his face. He was compliant for the first few years, but after getting his back warmed up, he began to think differently.”
“I know too much. This time, too, he handled it so poorly that it sparked a fire for the chief of Bugild.”
For the first time, team leader Seok’s voice contained emotion. it’s anger
Lee Jeong-ryong smiled slightly after confirming his firm loyalty towards him.
“Leave it first. And I just seasoned it, and it’s bland, of course.”
“yes?”
At that moment, the elevator door opened with a ding.
Lee Jeong-ryong continued his speech with his steps.
“I mean, it was stabbed once. I was wondering how you would respond.”
“then… … ?”
“Sometimes you look down on me too much. If I had been determined, would I have entrusted the work to these half-penny people?”
Team leader Seok let out a low exclamation.
“You all expected it.”
“I just scooped a spoonful and tasted it. If you don’t like it while looking at it, sprinkle salt and pepper on it.”
“As expected, you are the deputy guild leader.”
Seeing team leader Seok’s eyes filled with admiration, the blue dragon smiled softly.
But the truth was different. His right-hand man, team leader Seok, also had thoughts that he hadn’t revealed.
‘Jin Tae-kyung is an unusual guy.’ In the first place, what bothered Lee Jeong-ryong was the Peace Guild, not Jin Tae-gyeong.
It is difficult to guarantee that even if he had stepped forward, something like this would not have happened. He’s a man who doesn’t use a cow knife to kill chickens.
It is obviously an efficient method, but if an unexpected change occurs, the plan goes awry.
‘There was a wolf hiding among the chickens.’
Lee Jeong-ryong rubbed his tingling wrists.
For a moment, I felt tremendous heat and power from him. It’s so strong that you can’t think of it as the aegyo of a blue-eyed kid.
‘He was a man who knew how to handle mana properly. Where in the world was this guy who was only F-class a while ago… … There are corners where you can guess enough.
Lee Jeong-ryong finished his thoughts and said to team leader Seok.
“Jin Tae-kyung, watch him closely.” “Don’t worry. If it bothers you, I’ll take care of it myself.” Team leader Seok, who was always trustworthy, was a born fighting genius and was the best among the children he picked and taught himself, so it goes without saying about his skills.
However, Lee Jeong-ryong suddenly had a question.
Is such team leader Seok really superior to Jin Tae-kyung?
“Seok Team Leader. No, Go Joon-ah.”
Title changed from position to name.
It’s not the team leader Seok who can’t figure out its meaning. If he hadn’t had this level of notice, he would not have been able to become Lee Jeong-ryong’s disciple.
“yes. Master.”
“Um, nothing. I’ve been thinking nonsense for a while.”
Lee Jeong-ryong, who clicked his tongue slightly, went out the front door.
At the entrance of the building, five men and women were waiting with robes with intricate patterns and wands.
“Meet the deputy guild leader.”
“Your clothes are messy. Couldn’t it be a bit more normal?”
“It will look normal. In the eyes of others.”
They were A-class magicians under Lee Jeong-ryong’s direct control.
As the eldest-looking wizard said, none of the hundreds of people busily walking down the sidewalk cared about them.
They didn’t even know that there was a huge fight over their heads that almost brought down a skyscraper.
“This is why magic is so convenient.”
They ignorantly covered a radius of about two hundred meters with illusion magic. It was something he could do because he was an A-rank wizard of the Ares Guild, which selected only the best.
They will maintain the illusion magic here until all the cleanup is finished.
“okay. With that convenient magic, take good care of it so that it doesn’t come out behind your back. For those who want to be dangerous, touch their memories with mental magic.”
yes. All right. But that friend is seriously injured.”
“Oh, that guy?”
Lee Jeong-ryong, who glanced at Park Ji-hoon, who was riding on the back of the guard team hunter who followed him, spat out a word.
“Treat it appropriately and put it somewhere.”
If you die, that’s it, and even if you recover, you won’t be able to use half of your current skills properly.
Lee Jeong-ryong had no hobby of collecting exhausted batteries. He’s already had tons of batteries and just replace them.
‘Still, it was useful in the end.’
Through Park Ji-hoon, we were able to confirm Jin Tae-gyeong’s poisonous mind.
If I saw blood once, I should have killed him. If it was Lee Jeong-ryong himself, he would definitely have.
‘You couldn’t take that one step.’
What would happen if you cut off your arms and hack your body? If the enemy’s breath is still attached, it’s not perfect revenge. It’s nothing more than a mere resentment.
‘That clumsiness will become poison later.’ Lee Jeong-ryong laughed and got into the waiting car.
