Chapter 137

 

“Now I understand. I was afraid.”

 

After a long burst of laughter, Gyeom Gwang-ja’s words that followed were an admission.

 

‘He’s taken a step forward.’

 

Everything starts with acknowledgment.

 

Seeing that he had accomplished that, Gyeom Gwang-ja had moved forward.

 

“Good.”

 

If he had progressed, then he was welcome.

 

‘He’s acceptable now.’

 

At this point, it didn’t matter that Gyeom Gwang-ja was a master of the Evil Sects, or how many mad deeds he had committed.

 

This was a matter of life and death.

 

What mattered was that he had joined him.

 

He had easily shown the resolve that came with it.

 

‘I just need to prevent him from committing any more strange acts. If he still causes trouble despite being stopped, then I’ll take responsibility at that time.’

 

If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.

 

Wasn’t that sufficient reason to accept Gyeom Gwang-ja?

 

“What’s good? That I was afraid?”

 

“What’s good is that you acknowledge it yourself.”

 

“….”

 

“How many people ruin their lives because they can’t make that acknowledgment?”

 

“…You sometimes catch me off guard with unexpected remarks that leave me speechless.”

 

“But it’s not wrong, is it?”

 

“That’s the problem. Hehe.”

 

“It won’t be a problem if we become allies, will it?”

 

“That’s also why it’s good.”

 

“Then that settles it. From now on, you’ll be pleased.”

 

Jung Myeong extended his hand.

 

Gyeom Gwang-ja grasped it in return.

 

There was no need for lengthy promises or detailed clauses.

 

Just clasping hands together. Both knew without saying that this was sufficient.

 

“I need to go settle my affairs.”

 

Gyeom Gwang-ja hurried his actions.

 

“You mean Black Point?”

 

One word was enough to understand.

 

“That’s right. I can’t very well bring Black Point with me when I enter under your command, can I.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“That Vice Branch Leader fellow will be delighted, not knowing whether it’s his path to life or death. Hehe.”

 

“He’ll figure it out on his own.”

 

“Right. He’ll figure it out.”

 

Gyeom Gwang-ja would step down from his position as Branch Leader.

 

And the Vice Branch Leader beneath him would take his place.

 

This Vice Branch Leader had a tendency to make things bigger than Gyeom Gwang-ja did.

 

Considering his nature, quite a bit would likely happen within Black Point.

 

‘It’ll be chaotic for a while.’

 

This was good for Jung Myeong.

 

The more chaotic Black Point became, the more attention would be drawn there.

 

Probably. Even Hao Gate, which hadn’t even sent a communication tube despite his return, would have to pay attention.

 

‘Is this how Gyeom Gwang-ja confirms that he’s come to me?’

 

By settling his position, his stance would also be settled.

 

Gyeom Gwang-ja wouldn’t be unaware of this.

 

“I’ll be going now.”

 

“I’ll wait.”

 

“Good.”

 

Even so, Gyeom Gwang-ja’s steps as he left Jung Myeong behind and departed from somewhere looked firm.

 

* * *

 

He had to settle Hangzhou.

 

For that, he needed to thoroughly organize the internal affairs.

 

There was no way Jung Myeong wouldn’t know this.

 

‘If Miss Ju’s divine power was directed toward Gyeom Gwang-ja, then Miss Ju’s divine power might be real.’

 

He kept in mind the steps he had taken thanks to Ju In-hye.

 

And immediately went to find Song Bang-su and Gal Jwa-sa.

 

“We came upon your summons.”

 

“What is the matter?”

 

“Is there a new treatment case?”

 

Besides these, he called the trustworthy Martial Artists and Physicians, filling the place completely.

 

The results of all the work he had done so far were visible in the form of people.

 

‘There are many.’

 

He felt a renewed sense of reassurance.

 

Then, to turn that reassurance into strength, he organized and shared what he had heard from Gyeom Gwang-ja.

 

* * *

 

Various reactions came from those who heard the situation first.

 

“That Gyeom Gwang-ja is joining us?”

 

“That’s correct.”

 

“That Madman joining us…”

 

“Hmm…”

 

Many people viewed Gyeom Gwang-ja’s joining negatively.

 

“Practically speaking, our various forces will increase, but there will be talk.”

 

“Yes. I considered that aspect greatly.”

 

“Setting aside the dark stains he acquired while staying at Black Point in this crazy Hangzhou, it seems we have no choice but to employ him based on his abilities.”

 

However, there was no disagreement when it came to mentioning his abilities.

 

“I know what you’re worried about. I will personally coordinate that man.”

 

“What if he causes problems?”

 

“He’s someone who looks before he leaps, so that’s unlikely. But if such a thing happens, I’ll end it with my own hands.”

 

“If you put it that way…”

 

“I understand.”

 

Since Jung Myeong’s vessel seemed ample enough to accept them, everyone abandoned their worries.

 

‘With Gyeom Gwang-ja joining me, I’ve gained another hand in organizing internal affairs.’

 

The benefits gained from accepting him were enormous.

 

Now it was a matter of how to encompass all of Hangzhou, including those benefits.

 

“In truth, I know there are those who are not pleased with bringing him in. But you also know there are more urgent matters than that.”

 

“We understand it cannot be helped.”

 

“Yes. Various events are unfolding from places far beyond Hangzhou. This is to stop him.”

 

“What do you think should be done first?”

 

Gal Tae-gyeong chimed in supportively.

 

He was setting the stage for Jung Myeong to speak of the path forward by keeping his words flowing and providing continuity. It was consideration.

 

‘Indeed, my thought that he had changed wasn’t a mistake. He has grown.’

 

Gal Tae-gyeong, who used to deal with people only in a rough manner.

 

Feeling proud of his growth, Jung Myeong presented their goal.

 

“We must become the greatest force within Hangzhou. Furthermore, we must quell the unrest within Hangzhou. If the inside is in chaos, we cannot overcome external enemies.”

 

“!!!!”

 

It was an enormous ambition.

 

Everyone who heard it was filled with bewilderment.

 

“Does that seem possible to you?”

 

At most, they would have thought about merely defending what they had.

 

But Jung Myeong was always like this.

 

Only the scale had grown larger.

 

Jung Myeong answered everyone’s anxious questions with determination.

 

“We must make it possible from now on.”

 

That he would accomplish it.

 

* * *

 

It wasn’t something that had been started for this moment.

 

However, the seeds to build a force encompassing Hangzhou had already been sown and sprouted.

 

‘Growing him is what I need to do now.’

 

Jung Myeong had to nurture the sprouted seed greatly to create a stem.

 

For that purpose, Jung Myeong moved quickly.

 

“You said there are quite a few among the Wandering Warriors who want to belong to our Medical Clinic, right?”

 

“Yes. There are more than expected. Many Martial Artists have actually grown here. Are you thinking of accepting them?”

 

“Yes. Let’s accept them.”

 

“They might cause problems.”

 

“For that, we need to establish proper standards. Let’s request information from Black Point and Hao Gate.”

 

“Will they accept? Especially Black Point…”

 

“Money should do it. No, while we’re at it, get a cheaper commission fee from Gyeom Gwang-ja too.”

 

“I’ll give it a try.”

 

They accepted the Wandering Warriors.

 

If they scrutinized identities, the number wouldn’t be many.

 

But it didn’t matter.

 

‘Even bringing in one can be turned into combat power first.’

 

He also took care of those who could be turned into combat power in advance.

 

He was referring to those at the manor he was building.

 

The one he temporarily appointed to lead them was Wave Blade.

 

Though his martial power might be somewhat lacking, he was a Peak Level master who showed convictions unbefitting a Wandering Warrior, making him an appropriate choice to entrust this place to.

 

The other Super Peak Level Martial Artists also recognized his human character, acknowledging him beyond his level.

 

Jung Myeong immediately conveyed his intentions to him.

 

“You’re saying you’ll distribute new Spirit Medicine to them again?”

 

“Yes. I plan to distribute Original True Origin Pills first.”

 

That he would give additional Spirit Medicine to those from Scoundrel origins.

 

Wave Blade showed a surprised expression.

 

“When you say ‘first,’ that means there’s more after that?”

 

“I’m trying to develop New Spiritual Medicine. I intend to distribute that too.”

 

“Huh…!”

 

It was surprising.

 

It hadn’t been long since True Origin Pills were distributed.

 

And now Original True Origin Pills on top of that.

 

When combined with the formations at the manor, they could quickly grow into second-rate martial artists.

 

That’s not the end of it.

 

They were also learning formations specifically for group combat.

 

At this rate, it would only take a few months for their combat power to reach a level that could topple even decent peak-level martial artists.

 

“A new group will emerge, it seems.”

 

Wave Blade was right.

 

A powerful martial force would emerge.

 

Adding the wandering warriors they had accepted, they could easily form a group to support from below.

 

“This was foreseen from the moment I began gathering them.”

 

“Foreseen… Physician, you would have built up power eventually even without us.”

 

Wave Blade, who had accepted him, wore a dismayed expression.

 

“I would have. However, it would have taken time.”

 

“Haha. Well now. Even though we’re peak masters, we’re merely shortening the time a bit… I don’t know how to express this.”

 

Jung Myeong answered him without reservation.

 

Wave Blade might feel somewhat disappointed, but facts were facts.

 

“You should feel plenty proud. You know, don’t you? About the calamity that’s coming soon.”

 

“…I understand.”

 

While conveying the facts, there was something to give to them as well.

 

“By the way, spirit medicine will be distributed to everyone here. Please be sure to receive it.”

 

“Us as well?”

 

“We’re part of the same organization, aren’t we? Those at peak level and above will be the first to receive the newly created spirit medicine, so take care of that as well.”

 

“!!!!”

 

Spirit medicine. True Origin Pills and Original True Origin Pills.

 

Adding Ju In-hye and the advancement spiritual medicine scheduled to be newly created, over three types of spirit medicine would be distributed.

 

Moreover, he planned to enhance them using skills, so the total number would be four.

 

‘This should allow them to raise their internal energy by up to twenty years.’

 

This way, he could fill the insufficient internal energy that was characteristic of evil sect masters.

 

It also meant he could compensate for the weaknesses of those from evil sect backgrounds, including Wave Blade.

 

For that compensation, he immediately sprang into action.

 

Seeking out Ju In-hye to research spirit medicine.

 

He devised plans to expand the formation with Gal Tae-gyeong beyond the manor.

 

Through Baekyang Escort Agency, he continuously stockpiled necessary supplies.

 

And so, even cutting back on sleep as he moved forward.

 

Time flowed by quickly.

 

“Come here!”

 

A scheduled visitor came to find him earlier than expected.
