Chapter 155

 

“What do you mean by the real thing?”

 

“The Four Blood Alliance will make their move.”

 

An enemy incomparable to Ju Ma-ji-sal.

 

The Four Blood Alliance remains.

 

“The Four Blood Alliance? Ah.”

 

It seemed Ju Tae-gong had anticipated even that far.

 

He wasn’t particularly surprised either.

 

“Looking at it now, it’s not just them we need to think about.”

 

“Then?”

 

“Not just the Four Blood Alliance, but everyone might become enemies. Isn’t Jeonjin the name that stimulates primal desires that even you, Elder, would find hard to resist?”

 

“Huh…!”

 

However, when he spoke of something beyond that.

 

Even Ju Tae-gong of All Under Heaven couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

“I want to deny it and say no… but I can’t.”

 

“Yes. That’s the problem.”

 

At Jung Myeong’s words, Ju Tae-gong let out a bitter laugh.

 

It wasn’t mockery.

 

It was laughter at the absurdity felt from the bewildering reality.

 

“Hmm… Since Murim has been peaceful lately, what’s bound to happen will happen.”

 

“It’s something that would happen anyway.”

 

“Thinking about it more seriously won’t make things better.”

 

“I understand.”

 

Was it thanks to experience gained through cunning?

 

Ju Tae-gong quickly went beyond recognizing the situation to accepting it.

 

“So what will you do now?”

 

“What do you mean what will I do? Isn’t it simple?”

 

“Simple? Hmm… Are you saying we should surrender? To the Four Blood Alliance?”

 

“How could that be? Don’t you know my way?”

 

“Don’t tell me…”

 

“I need to go beyond properly blocking them and make them not dare to come at all. Even if it’s the Four Blood Alliance.”

 

Jung Myeong’s method was the same then as it is now.

 

If they’re enemies, whoever they are, crush them completely.

 

A strategy to make it so no one would dare touch him by doing so!

 

That strategy alone was the way he wanted.

 

‘Huh… Even with the Four Blood Alliance before his eyes…!’

 

To think he would apply this even to the Four Blood Alliance that divides All Under Heaven in half.

 

Ju Tae-gong was surprised and admiring at the same time.

 

“…Great power will be needed.”

 

“Yes. Will you help me?”

 

“Of course I must help. I’m not thick-skinned enough to ignore favors and lose face.”

 

“Elder, thank you.”

 

This time it was Jung Myeong’s turn to be amazed.

 

To think he would readily agree to join.

 

Knowing it wouldn’t be easy, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

 

“I’d like to go right away, but preparation is necessary.”

 

“I know.”

 

“Once my preparations are complete, I’ll move immediately.”

 

The preparation time wouldn’t be very long either.

 

Given Ju Tae-gong’s nature, he would quickly handle the aftermath here.

 

“I’ll be waiting.”

 

When Jung Myeong spoke of waiting, Ju Tae-gong asked.

 

“Hmm…? Waiting? Does that mean you’re planning to leave first?”

 

“Yes. I think I need to go ahead first.”

 

“Why not go together?”

 

He expressed doubt about not traveling together.

 

“Because I think something will happen soon.”

 

“Oh my. You’re busy. So busy.”

 

At the answer he heard, Ju Tae-gong clicked his tongue.

 

There was one thing he could do for Jung Myeong.

 

“Don’t try to carry all the world’s burdens. If it gets hard, talk to me.”

 

“Haha. Thank you.”

 

As an elder, he would at least listen.

 

Carrying that consideration with him.

 

“Then I’ll move first.”

 

Jung Myeong moved.

 

Once again, it was time to leave the Jusan Archipelago.

 

* * *

 

While Jung Myeong was moving busily.

 

Those remaining in Hangzhou also seized the opportunity to move their bodies busily.

 

They had no choice but to do so.

 

Anyone with a functioning brain knew that without Jung Myeong present, such an opportunity would never come again.

 

The Golden Tiger Gang was the first to move urgently.

 

“You’re saying that bastard has left his post?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Finally!”

 

Blood Hand Ghost Chang Hweon.

 

Originally a disciple of the Golden Tiger Gang and the one who had expressed dissatisfaction even when Jung Myeong personally killed the leader of the Eastern Lake Gang and placed Cheol San-ja there.

 

Having the greatest hostility toward Jung Myeong, he rejoiced as soon as he heard the news.

 

“This is our chance to cut off that bastard’s limbs.”

 

“Don’t think it’ll be easy.”

 

“Why not again!”

 

“Aren’t there too many forces that have entered Hangzhou right now? Don’t you remember? Even that Cheol San-ja couldn’t be properly utilized in the end.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

“Shouldn’t we acknowledge it now? The Poison Demon Physician. That man is no easy opponent.”

 

“I do acknowledge it. It’s because I acknowledge it that I’ve been staying quiet all this time.”

 

“You’re not scared, are you?”

 

“Senior Brother! Come on!”

 

“Tsk tsk. Getting angry again just from a little provocation. Anyway, you need to fix that temper of yours first.”

 

“…”

 

“In any case, fine. You’re right that now when he’s absent is our opportunity. That bastard Cheol San-ja is also getting heated up.”

 

Though he was scolding his Vice Guild Master and speaking objectively.

 

The Guild Leader was just as heated up as anyone else.

 

He possessed deeper information than others.

 

This was possible because he had a communication tube received directly from Ju Ma-ji-sal.

 

‘If we can’t seize this opportunity, the Golden Tiger Gang will become third-rate forever.’

 

At the same time, he felt great anxiety because of what he knew.

 

The uneasiness that if things continued this way, they might be defeated by the Poison Demon Physician.

 

Furthermore, the fear that they might become a third-rate gang faction that could barely guard the outskirts of Hangzhou rather than encompassing all of Hangzhou was greatly consuming him.

 

This wasn’t something that would end with just anxiety.

 

Therefore, he decided to move his limbs.

 

“So you brought this up because you have something in mind, right?”

 

Coincidentally, those limbs wanted to move on their own.

 

“Would I bring it up without a plan like you?”

 

“Stop nagging and get to the point. You weren’t like this when you were young, but why do you take so long to get to the point now that you’re older? Hmph…”

 

“You’ll understand when you reach this position.”

 

“Will you give it to me?”

 

“Vice Guild Master suits you perfectly.”

 

“Damn it. Well, you’re right. If I took that position, it would fall apart immediately.”

 

“I’m glad you know that.”

 

“As long as you give me what you should give me, I’m satisfied with this position. From before until now! And I’ll continue to be so in the future.”

 

“Hehe. Really? Should I trust you?”

 

“Senior Brother should trust his junior brother. Who else would you trust?”

 

“Right. That’s right.”

 

Though they seemed to be having pointless conversation.

 

This was a calculation taking place between the two.

 

Though he as Vice Guild Master had no desire for the Guild Leader position.

 

Still, it was a request that if they cut off the Poison Demon Physician’s limbs this time, he should be given what he deserved. It was a signal that he would exist as a loyal Vice Guild Master forever if that happened.

 

‘What a cunning bastard. Then and now, his greed is greater than his capacity.’

 

‘Still the same, Senior Brother. You’re full of greed, so let’s share some of it.’

 

The calculation between the two sly foxes ended quickly.

 

The Guild Leader was satisfied with preserving his position.

 

The Vice Guild Master was satisfied with receiving something appropriate even if not the position. Whether it was money, women, or power. He didn’t care what it was.

 

‘This is better than pointlessly coveting a position. Look at that Cheol San-ja – he devoured the Eastern Lake Gang and only got indigestion.’

 

He thought he was pursuing practical benefits.

 

‘I can see right through your thoughts. You don’t yet know what comes from a position, which is why you’re in that state… Hehe. There’s no need to tell you.’

 

While the Guild Leader mocked him.

 

He silently made an acknowledging expression.

 

At this, the Vice Guild Master asked as if making the first request.

 

“So what should I do?”

 

“We need to cut off that damn Poison Demon Physician’s limbs!”

 

The Guild Leader responded as if adding to the chorus.

 

“Where should we start?”

 

“Where else would it be?”

 

“Hehe. It must be the now-empty medical clinic!”

 

Perhaps it was the benefit of years together.

 

The two were well synchronized.

 

“Is there any need to drag this out? We should cut off his limbs while he’s away so he can never raise his head again.”

 

“Right.”

 

They quickly set their target.

 

It was the medical clinic left empty of martial artists.

 

“However. We must be careful.”

 

“Of what? What’s there to be careful of when that bastard isn’t even there?”

 

“We must strike it down in one blow. Otherwise, we could be attacked from other places!”

 

Afterward, they gauged the necessary speed.

 

“At most, those Beggar’s Sect bastards will move!”

 

“Isn’t Namgung there too?”

 

“Ha. Those idiots who couldn’t move properly even after bringing the Jegal family? They’re more cautious than expected.”

 

“Still, you never know. And….”

 

“We can’t ignore the government either, right?”

 

“Correct.”

 

Furthermore, they quickly divided up the other forces they needed to be wary of.

 

“Then you’ve prepared for that?”

 

“Cheol San-ja has fed the government well.”

 

“Gold must have flowed like water.”

 

“What choice do we have? That’s how we buy time.”

 

“And the rest?”

 

“Something will happen at Namgung. Quite a few requests went in, so they won’t have manpower.”

 

“You’re saying to strike the connected Baekyang. Hmm…. Well, fine. What’s left is the Beggar’s Sect?”

 

The Guild Leader seemed to have prepared perfectly for that as well.

 

What remained was the Beggar’s Sect.

 

“What about that side?”

 

“Should I spoon-feed you everything?”

 

“Tch….”

 

At this, the Guild Leader spoke boldly.

 

His tone suggested that much should be handled by you, the Vice Guild Master.

 

“Damn… I thought it would be an easy job, but the Beggar’s Sect….”

 

“Won’t you do it? If you don’t want to, forget it. There seem to be plenty who will.”

 

“Am I the same as those scoundrels? I do calculations. Calculations.”

 

“Hmm….”

 

The Guild Leader crossed his arms while seated and slowly leaned back.

 

Though he appeared leisurely, his mind was complicated.

 

‘It would be difficult if this guy backs out now.’

 

Though he seemed relaxed, the Vice Guild Master was the only one he could entrust this to.
