Thunderstorm (2)
He couldn’t readily answer my first question.
The second question that followed was more direct and powerful.
“Can you give up your position as leader for her?”
Because it was an unexpected question, Ma Cheol’s mind must have been confused.
In the end, Ma Cheol expressed his confusion in anger.
“Why are you talking like that?”
I said while staring at him with a completely unfazed attitude.
“It was a stupid choice.”
“what?”
“She betrayed the organization and sacrificed her life for you. But what about you?”
Ma Cheol-gun’s eyes wavered. It is time to apply medicine to properly scratched pride before it goes crazy.
I said in a slightly softened tone.
“Of course I understand you. You might need some time to organize your thoughts. Anyway, not the time to relax like this. “Because her life could be at stake.”
At least for now, that woman was serving as a panacea for Ma Cheol-gun.
“How do we find her?”
“To find her, we must find the leader of the organization.”
“Why?”
“If she is caught by the organization, she will be caught by the leader. Even if she escapes safely, her organization will try to kill her. Because he is a person who never forgives betrayal. Either way, her way to save her is to find the head of her organization.
“All we have to do is get rid of it.”
Ma Cheol seemed to agree with what I said.
“Who is the leader?”
“I don’t know anything about him other than that he’s an old man. “He is a person completely kept in secret.”
“How can we find him?”
“Joo Cheol-ryong.”
“As expected, that was the method.”
“If you use the Cast Iron Dragon, you will be able to find the mastermind.”
Ma Cheol also thought that was the way to go. So, not long ago, he invited Joo Cheol-ryong over for a drink and opened up about his feelings. On the spot, Joo Cheol-ryong showed an arrogant attitude.
In fact, the reason Ma Cheol came to the prison was not to hear this answer. He wasn’t even trying to provoke his opponent who was imprisoned. Rather, I wanted to impress this man.
Since she was someone she trusted, I hoped he would say good things to her later.
“Please understand that I cannot release you yet.”
“It’s okay. “In fact, it might be safer here.”
“Thank you for thinking that way.”
Ma Cheol added with eyes full of determination.
“I will definitely save her.”
After Ma Cheol-gun left, Cheonma evaluated him. His evaluation was so low that he was dragged out to the fate of martial arts and suffered hardships.
[Is that guy the Murim lord? The fate of the political faction, Murim, has also come to an end.]
[Who is this all because of?]
[You’re not saying it’s because of me, right?]
[Then is it because of me?]
[You damn bastard! You are responsible for the fate of your political faction.]
Actually, I thought he might be right.
Following the Mabonggi, Macheolgun became the leader again. In addition, key figures of the Murim Alliance became the hands and feet of the forces behind it. In fact, the Murim Alliance could be seen as the weakest it had been since its creation.
What if the war of the past breaks out again at this time? Will Macheolgun be able to fight that war? It sounds absurd. He would not last even a year before he would be murdered or commit suicide.
Cheonma talked for a while about the rise and fall of Jeongma. But when I didn’t deal with it, he soon resigned in a depressed tone.
[Well, what is the meaning of political faction and Murim alliance? If the fate of humans is to die in an instant as time goes by. The best thing to do is just cruise around a place with beautiful scenery, have a drink, and have fun with a beautiful woman.]
[So what’s left?]
[It will be fun. You don’t know much about women, do you?]
[I know enough to know.]
[Hehe, the old school guy from the political faction should find out. Come on, this old man will show you the world of a true woman. She has recovered her strength, so let’s destroy her and go out.]
This is why the devil’s temptation is so scary. It suddenly occurred to me that it wouldn’t be nice to live like that at least once.
[no.]
[Why?]
[Because I have work to do. There are some things that must be protected.]
[why? Why should you? Why do you have to protect it? I tell everyone to live their lives and protect each other!]
It looks like he wants to start an argument. I know very well that I can’t make him understand with just a few words anyway. Well, it’s not like the Heavenly Demon is questioning me like that because he doesn’t know how I feel.
When I had no answer, after a while the Heavenly Demon spoke.
[You are stuck in a frame.]
Maybe this is what I wanted to say.
After a while, I answered.
[…] … Maybe so.]

Gal Saryang and Baek Pyo met at Bulu early in the morning. It has been decided to use this place as a forward base until this matter is resolved.
“Are you worried?”
“no.”
“really?”
“yes. To be honest, when I first heard that my lord was imprisoned, I was very worried. But it’s okay now. Well, he’s a person who can do things well on his own.”

“That’s right.”
Gal Sa-ryang smiled faintly. Compared to the situation that Byeokridan was in, the two were quite relaxed. Rather, the busiest and most urgent person was Cheonmanghoeju Ban Seo-jeong. She focused her intelligence network on the prison, waiting for any new news to come in.
It was ironing.
Baekpyo, who was looking out the window, spoke as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“I think of that image every now and then. The image of the lord giving Myeong-i pocket money and stroking his head, telling him that he should listen to his parents. Strangely enough, when I think of that image, I feel at ease. “Isn’t it strange?”
“at all.”
“yes?”
“The person who protects the most precious thing and gives that kind of trust is the greatest power a master has. That’s why we can trust Him. Isn’t that why you were able to entrust Jesu and Myeong-i to your lord?”
“That’s right.”
A deep longing flashed across Baekpyo’s face as he thought about his wife and son.
“Do you want to see your son?”
“I miss you a lot.”
Baekpyo grinned. She was able to endure the hard training she had to do while raising Black Panther because she thought of her wife and Myeong-myeong. These are two people I want to run to and see in a month.
Myeong must have grown a lot in the meantime.
The longing was replaced by letters that were handed down once in a while.
Gal Sa-ryang’s eyes towards Baek-pyo were soft. Just because he is not married, how can he not know how Baekpyo feels about his family?
“I believe in my lord, I believe in you, and I believe in the fate of Mr. Jesu and Myeongyeong. “Everything will be okay.”
“Yes, soldier.”
The two people looked at each other and smiled. Yes, it is because of people like these that we can persevere and move forward.
At that time, a customer came into the room.
Ban Seo-jeong, who heard the new report through him, approached the two.
“We received a call from our person in prison.”
Gal Sa-ryang and Baek Pyo were nervous at Ban Seo-jeong’s words.
“They said they released the suppressed acupuncture points and can now use internal energy as well.”
At those words, Galsaryang and Baekpyo were relieved at the same time.
“ah! “As expected, you are my lord.”
“yes.”
The two knew better than anyone else. The suppression method used in the Murimmaeng prison is really difficult to solve.
Baekpyo said while looking at Galsaryang.
“I really think the most useless worry in the world is worrying about my lord.”
“So we have to worry about our lord.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
“Is there any way that a person as big as my lord could just ignore the fate of this powerhouse?”
Baekpyo, who only then understood Galsaryang’s meaning, nodded.
“You are correct. “I will not let down my guard and will work harder and strive harder.”
Gal Sa-ryang nodded. I felt sorry for Baekpyo because it seemed like he was whipping a horse that was running harder than anyone else, but it would be better than leaving Cheonchu’s resentment due to a moment’s carelessness.
Gal Sa-ryang said while looking at Ban Seo-jeong.
“One more cup of good tea, please.”
As I felt relieved, I thought it would be okay to see her some more and have a cup of tea.

The atmosphere in the cave was calm, as if it represented the hearts of those there.
There was a strangely shaped mirror attached to the wall in the corner. It gave a gloomy feeling, as if something would jump out of the mirror at any moment.
An old man and a man without eyebrows stood in front of him.
“After the Great Law failed, I activated the Devotional Sutra. But until now, the Heavenly Demon’s soul has not been found.”
As he said, the mirror was not showing anything.
“Has it disappeared forever into the underworld?”
“I think so.”
“Even if you inhabit someone’s body, wouldn’t you be able to detect it with a probe?”
“you’re right. However, I cannot think of a human being who has the mental power to accept the soul of a Heavenly Demon without having a body prepared through Dafa.”
“It means that he eventually went to the underworld.”
“yes.”
“It’s a shame. “I put a lot of effort into it for a long time.”
The old man was not one to dwell on past failures. He wanted to go straight to the next step.
“Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to proceed immediately.”
The man hurriedly dissuaded the old man from his decision.
“That’s not possible. “It’s too dangerous.”
“But there’s no way, is there?”
“I will find another soul to replace the Heavenly Demon.”
The old man shook his head as if it was pointless.
“Think about how much time, money, and effort we put into this project. “I don’t have time for that anymore.”
“But as it is, the chance of success is less than half.”
“I guess I should do it though.”
“Elder!”
It was then. I heard shouting outside. A man in black came in, said something, and left.
The man returned to the old man with a surprised face.
“What’s going on?”
“This is a report from the Murim Alliance.”
“Something?”
“It is said that the person who appears to have disrupted this Great Law is imprisoned in the Murimmaeng Prison.”
“What?”
The old man was surprised.
“Why is this report coming in now?”
“Reports were briefly halted as the cave was sealed off for treatment.”
“Oh, you did?”
It was an order he gave himself. He had sealed the cave for the treatment of Cheon So-seon.
“Are you saying that the person who stopped Dafa is imprisoned in the Murim League prison?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Who is he?”
“It has not been revealed who it is. “I think he is probably the one who has been opposing us so far, or is his subordinate.”
“This is the one I saw that day.”
“yes? “Is there any reason why you are so sure?”
“Is there anyone in this river that can kill the Twelve Masters and the Sword Night in one sitting? Moreover, Soseon was seriously injured. “It’s definitely him.”
The old man remembered the man that day. I have never seen anyone with that level of prayer since even Kang Ho-chul.
“A person like that is being held in prison?”
When the old man asked suspiciously, the man reported.
“They say he was swept away by an explosion. “Currently, both demonic blood and internal energy are suppressed and captured.”
“Is that so?”
The old man’s eyes shone sharply. It was truly a golden opportunity to kill him.
“What about Macheol?”
“I met him, but no other action was taken.”
“You believe you saved yourself.”
“That is very likely.”
“We will kill him before he leaves prison. “Can you do it?”
“It is possible, but you will have to make big sacrifices. As you know, the boundaries of the Murimmaeng underground prison are always maintained at the highest level.”
Originally, it was a situation where I would have had to step down. In recent years, the organization’s work has gone downhill with repeated failures. Now that Dafa had failed, it was no longer the time to waste the organization’s power.
However, I could never forgive the person who interfered with Dafa. Moreover, Cheon So-seon almost died from him.
“Does not matter. I will definitely kill him this time. “When he gets out of prison, he will need ten times more strength than he needs now.”
The old man added with burning eyes.
“I don’t feel like it, but I have to ask them for help.”

[Hey, Cheon Gwang.]
After a long time, I visited Cheonma first.
[You bastard! I told you not to call me by my name, so you called me by my name again?]
But even so, he secretly liked me calling his name.
I understood that feeling. It was the same for me too. When I was a leader, no one called me ‘Hey, Hajin.’
There is a certain tremor that comes from something you have never experienced. Because I have experienced it to the fullest while living as a Byeokridan, I can guess how Cheonma feels.
[You can call Cheon Gwang Cheon Gwang, but you can’t call him Baek Gwang, right?]
[oh my god! Is this a lame old joke?]
[ha ha ha.]
Still, he seemed curious as to why I had called him.
[Why did you call me?]
[Teach me just one magic skill.]
[what?]
The Heavenly Demon was surprised.
[hate!]
[no? Then that’s it.]
After a while, the Heavenly Demon asked. Even though he could tolerate everything else, he couldn’t tolerate what he was curious about.
he asked vaguely.
[I will never teach you… … But what magic craft do you want to learn?]
martial arts,
