Vol 2 Chapter 8. Another New Pushover in My Life (1)
"Oh… Ooooo…."
Go Seok-hyeon couldn't help but be moved.
His eyes reddened, and eventually, tears trickled down his cheeks.
How could he not be?
"To think I… would return here alive."
Go Seok-hyeon, with tears in his eyes, looked at the manor in front of him.
That place where the Twin Dragon Sect was originally settled.
That manor where the memories of his youth were melted intact.
He had finally returned here after crossing several decades of time.
Patrick then said to Go Seok-hyeon:
“Alright, alright—hang up the signboard we brought.”
"How can I…."
"This is something you, the Sect Leader, must do."
As Patrick spoke sternly, Go Seok-hyeon nodded and accepted.
He took out the signboard wrapped in cloth from his back.
It was the sect's signboard he kept preciously even while the Twin Dragon Sect was ruined.
To someone, it might be just an old wooden board, but to him, the Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon Sect, it is a symbol of the sect more precious than life.
He didn't know he would hang this on the main gate of this manor again.
"Kuhuk…."
Eventually, after hanging the signboard, Go Seok-hyeon wiped tears of emotion.
"Thank you. Ancestral Master. All of this is Ancestral Master’s grace."
At those words, Patrick nodded.
‘Yup. This is all my grace. I am truly great.’
Go Seok-hyeon bowed politely looking at Patrick and said.
"Thank you. Actually, I was half in doubt while coming. I didn't know you would really recover this place."
"Hohoho. I am a person who speaks empty words… only occasionally."
That means you do say them, right?
Unlike Mun Yul who thought so, his master Go Seok-hyeon looked at Patrick with eyes that were, in slang, ‘smitten’.
"Hahaha. As expected, you are amazing. Indeed, you are like the descendant of Ancestral Master Radiant Dragon Great Master."
"Uhahahahahaha."
[Are you happy? Happy?]
Master tackled from the sky, but he didn't care.
‘Ah, I did a good deed and got praised, so why?’
[Will you only be satisfied if you act condescending about recovering the base for the descendant as an Ancestor? Huh? Does your conscience not prick?]
‘Yes. It doesn't prick?’
[Cheon, you rascaleeeee!]
Whether he did or not, Go Seok-hyeon was genuinely moved.
At first, when Patrick said let's return because he recovered the manor, he thought it was a joke.
[What are you intending to do about the Black Dragon Gang bastards?]
[Ah, you don't need to worry about that.]
Following him half in doubt like this, the Twin Dragon Sect’s manor was really cleaned up.
Not a single one of the Twin Dragon Gang bastards who committed all kinds of evil in Tianshui County was seen.
Go Seok-hyeon resolved inwardly.
That he would trust and follow Patrick entirely.
‘From now on, even if this person says the sun rises in the west, I will believe it.’
Such a dangerous thing….
Go Seok-hyeon was making a resolution that people of the Schneider Duchy would be terrified and stop if they heard.
And he spoke as if he suddenly remembered.
"By the way, what did you do with Great Bear Twin Axes Kang Man?"
"What do you think I did?"
As Patrick smirked and said, Go Seok-hyeon said.
"Did you perhaps kill him?"
"Haha. Could I do that? Our Twin Dragon Sect is a righteous prestigious Orthodox sect, so how could I kill a person so easily?"
Whose mouth is spouting this bullshit?
The sad fact is….
"That is correct. You couldn't do that."
"Huhuhu. Of course."
"As expected, you are like the Successor of Radiant Dragon Great Master."
"Hohoho, for just this much…."
"You are even humble."
"Uhehehe. This Seat is a bit like that."
That this is working.
Seeing Patrick laughing frivolously, Persona sighed deeply.
‘It's going to go to ruin at this rate.’
She is also a disciple of the Twin Dragon Sect in name, but can she neglect the sect going down the path it shouldn't go step by step like this?
While she was worrying.
"Um, Senior Sister… Nim."
Mun Yul beside her spoke cautiously.
"Hm? Why?"
Persona looked at Mun Yul treating her cautiously with a smile.
‘Wow….’
To think such a beautiful person is my Senior Sister.
Honestly, she was so beautiful that he felt apologetic just staring at her face.
To Mun Yul who was blank for a moment, Persona asked again.
"What is the matter?"
Then Mun Yul snapped out of it and said.
"Is it true that you really didn't kill Great Bear Twin Axes Kang Man?"
"For now, yes."
"……."
"It's true. Even though my master looks like that, he doesn't lie well."
It is true.
He is locked in the government jail in a state where his mind is completely gone and his intelligence regressed to a five-year-old level, but he really didn't die.
Although he will probably die soon when the sentence is executed.
‘Mercy my ass….’
Then Mun Yul frowned and said.
"Senior Sister. If so…."
"Just Senior Sister is fine."
"…Yes. Senior Sister."
Mun Yul cleared his throat and said.
"Ahem, if Kang Man is alive, the problem might become difficult."
"Why?"
"Behind Great Bear Twin Axes Kang Man is the Blood Saber Sect."
"Blood Saber Sect?"
"Yes. Kang Man was offering a significant portion of the money earned in this Tianshui County to the Blood Saber Sect. If money doesn't come from such Kang Man, the Blood Saber Sect might step forward."
As Mun Yul spoke with a serious expression, Patrick said.
"What? What is it?"
Then Persona said. "Master. The guy Master beat to near death before."
"Are there one or two such guys?"
"The guy you smacked recently."
"The pig in that slum?"
Ah, right.
That was recent.
He updated it really fast.
"Before that, the kid who used two axes who lived in this sect."
"Ah, that… guy called Kang Pan."
It's Kang Man.
"Yes. Him."
I said Kang Man.
Well, what's important?
Persona, who didn't feel the need to correct, continued.
"They say there is someone behind him."
"Of course there is."
"Uh, you knew?"
"Of course. Usually, Black Way kids have a backer, and that backer has another backer. If you beat them up, they come out linked like dried yellow corvine, and that's the fun of beating up Black Way kids."
"Is that so?"
"That's how it is. It's not a big deal, so don't worry. If they come, just beat them up."
Mun Yul, who was listening to the conversation of the two, opened his mouth wide and said.
Leaving aside that chivalry and the Righteous Way were completely excluded from this conversation….
"Do you two not know how serious this matter is?"
"I don't know?"
"Don't know. Must I know?"
Master and disciple hit it off so well.
No, the important thing isn't that.
Mun Yul suppressed his anger calmly and continued.
"The one leading the Blood Saber Sect backing Kang Man is that Blood Wave Saber Guest Ma Jae-ho."
"It's fine. It's fine. You don't need to worry about such things."
"Right. If they don't come, good; if they come, even better since we can beat them up."
"……."
Mun Yul’s mouth fell open.
Are these humans rabbits?
Did they leave their liver somewhere and go play in the Dragon Palace?
It absolutely didn't sound like a conversation of people of this world.
Wait, come to think of it….
"Um, you two came from the Outer Regions, right."
"Right."
"You could say that."
"Then how long has it been since you came to the Central Plains?"
"Has it been about a month now?"
"Isn't it over a month?"
Mun Yul asked cautiously as if asking something extremely important.
"Then did you hear anything regarding the Central Plains before that?"
"Don't know at all."
"Me neither."
Looking at the two answering brightly, Mun Yul nodded.
And thought inwardly.
‘We are fucked.’
***
A short while later.
"Ahem…. Bong-gong."
"Want to say that again?"
"…Bong-gong."
"Huhu. Right right. Tell this Bong-gong. Why? What is it?"
"……."
Mun Yul thought.
‘Ah, embarrassing.’
Since they accepted each other as the same sect for now, there needed to be an appropriate title to call each other inside.
In that sense, how to call Patrick was extremely ambiguous.
Because to discuss seniority, they had to trace back from the days of Radiant Dragon Great Master, but there was no way to know how many generations passed from there.
Actually, there is nothing to trace, but still.
Everyone worried for a moment to decide the title of Patrick whose seniority was ambiguous to calculate.
Go Seok-hyeon said he would hand over the Sect Leader position to Patrick, but….
[The Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon Sect is you.]
Patrick refused with a straight face unlike his usual self.
And thinking for a moment….
[Bong-gong (Worshipped Duke/Elder) should be appropriate, right? Don't you think?]
He said.
At these words, Mun Yul was dumbfounded for a moment.
If it is Bong-gong, it is a figure in such a high position that even the Sect Leader must respect him in that sect.
It is ambiguous to define the exact role, but the status signifies a position above an Elder.
The most serious problem is….
[Um, creating the position of Bong-gong and operating it is only for large-scale prestigious Orthodox sects.]
That is so.
Originally, Bong-gong is a position created to treat a special person even in sects like the Nine Sects One Gang or Five Great Clans.
But for the Twin Dragon Sect to copy that, if done wrong, they could be ridiculed for a parrotbill trying to walk like a stork. But….
[It's fine. Our Twin Dragon Sect is also a prestigious Orthodox sect with a bright history.]
[No, that is uh….]
[Uh? Surely is our Yul thinking the great Twin Dragon Sect is not a prestigious Orthodox sect? Is that it?]
[N, No. How could I….]
[Right? Then there's no problem? Don't you think?]
[Sc… Scale?]
[We can grow it.]
Resistance was meaningless in the first place.
Master, the only hope….
[Hohoho. Then we will do as Bong-gong wishes.]
He said, and the newly acquired Senior Sister was looking at him pitifully with eyes saying ‘Give up. Anyway, no one can stop that human.’
[Un… Understood.]
Like that, Patrick Schneider obtained the grandiose position of Twin Dragon Sect’s Bong-gong.
And returning to the main topic….
"First of all, I will explain in detail regarding the current situation that Bong-gong and Senior Sister do not know."
"Yeah. Try it."
At Patrick’s words, Mun Yul sighed and said.
"The Twin Dragon Gang that settled in our Tianshui County was active with the Blood Saber Sect behind them."
"I heard that."
"That Blood Saber Sect is the largest Unorthodox sect located in this Gansu Province with over 500 regular disciples alone."
"500? Wait, wait."
Patrick spoke with a dumbfounded expression.
"No, 500 Unorthodox kids gathered in this Gansu Province and are saying 'We are here'? Like that?"
"That is correct."
"What are the Kongtong Sect kids doing? Are they not working?"
In Gansu Province, there is the Kongtong Sect, a member of the Nine Sects One Gang.
Except for the period when the rare talent Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon was active, it was exactly they who were responsible for the order of this Gansu Province.
But an Unorthodox sect settled down?
And the Kongtong Sect is watching that with open eyes?
To Patrick who didn't understand, Mun Yul said.
"Of course Blood Wave Saber Guest Ma Jae-ho is a master, but he alone is not enough to handle the Kongtong Sect."
"Then why? Ah, I got it. There is someone behind him too."
At those words, Mun Yul answered as if he waited.
"That is correct. Blood Wave Saber Guest Ma Jae-ho is none other than one of the disciples of that Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor."
"Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor?!"
"That is correct. Now do you underst…."
"What kind of bastard is that again?"
"……."
‘Why pretend to know when you don't? Why?’
Mun Yul wanted to cry now.
