◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
If the Unorthodox Factions had the Four Demons, the Divine Cult had the Six Kings.
‘A master of at least the Transcendent Peak level… and that woman is not in the lower ranks of the Six Kings. Rather, she could be called in the upper ranks.’
My mouth went dry.
Thump, thump—
Judging solely by the energy and internal power I could feel from the woman walking slowly towards me, she would have been at most a Second-Rate master.
But the aura emanating from the woman who walked towards me with her arms leisurely crossed was anything but ordinary.
‘Returning to the original state of simplicity…!’
I shouted inwardly in alarm.
Outwardly, she was a beautiful woman of a tender age, who did not even seem to have reached thirty.
If I were to find something unusual about her, it would be that she was a woman with a unique impression from which a somehow decadent atmosphere flowed.
I, who was still maintaining an unmoving posture without moving a single hair, immediately sent a telepathic message to Tang Hyeon-cheol who was standing blankly beside me.
[Elder.]
[…What is it?]
As if he had finally felt a sense of unease in this situation, Tang Hyeon-cheol regained his senses and asked me back.
At Tang Hyeon-cheol’s answer, I swallowed once and said.
[…Whatever happens, do not step forward first. Unless I give you a signal in advance.]
[Hmm…! I understand for now.]
As if Tang Hyeon-cheol also felt the unusual aura emanating from that woman, he slowly nodded his head.
It seemed that he also had an idea of what kind of conversation I would have with her.
It was at that moment when Tang Hyeon-cheol and I were quietly waiting for the supreme master of the Divine Cult who was walking towards us.
“…You’ve made quite a mess.”
“……”
“So… there really was a reason why that person found you interesting.”
The opponent had already approached right in front of me.
She, who held one of the six seats of the Six Kings, a group of absolute masters belonging to the Divine Cult, looked at me and said so.
At the opponent’s admiring muttering, I asked a question even though I knew the answer.
“…Who might you be, young lady?”
“Huhu. Young lady… don’t flatter me by calling me a young lady.”
“…I apologize if I was rude.”
As I spoke in a genuinely apologetic tone, the woman shook her head a couple of times and then slightly opened her red-painted lips.
“…Still, it’s been a while. In the Cult, everyone knew my identity, so it wasn’t much fun to see their reaction.”
“……”
“Hmm, you are indeed interesting. You.”
The opponent slightly curved her lips.
Though it was faint, it could be called a smile.
At her reaction, I inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
‘Have I managed to sew the first button well…?’
Then the conversation from now on is important.
In fact, this woman, who was looking at me with the eyes of someone looking at a well-raised prey, had no intention of killing or hurting me.
I could be sure.
She was originally one of the Six Kings belonging to the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, and nominally the superior of the Silent Demon, Byeok Ri-seol, but judging by the muttering she had just let out and the reaction she was showing now, she did not harbor any ill feelings towards me.
‘Moreover, from this woman’s perspective, it’s as if I’ve taken care of a traitor who was a thorn in her side… instead of killing or dealing with me here, she would rather lead the negotiation from a superior position.’
Thinking so, I let out a breath and waited for her words.
At that, the opponent finally opened her mouth.
“I am the Blood Witch, Jeon So-yeong.”
“……!”
“What is your name?”
“…My name is Eun Ha-seong.”
Did she come all the way here without even knowing my name and just watched the situation…
As I confirmed that fact, I was a little dumbfounded and almost let out a laugh.
As I barely suppressed my laughter, as if she didn’t like the situation where Jeon So-yeong and I were talking.
A branch head who had sided with us approached and shouted.
“What insolence…! How dare a woman belonging to the Divine Cult approach the young master with such a shameless face…!”
“……!”
“……”
As a branch head who couldn’t even grasp the situation shouted like that, I felt the atmosphere instantly sink.
Feeling that, I thought.
‘Ah… am I screwed.’
It was at that moment when that thought flashed through my mind.
Kwaaang—!
Even though the Blood Witch, Jeon So-yeong, had not shown any sign or even taken any action.
As if he had been hit by a palm wind out of nowhere, the figure of the branch head who had spoken without grasping the situation quickly soared into the air—
…reached far above the open ceiling, and then hit the ground again.
I looked at the branch head who was firmly stuck in the ground, penetrating the wooden floor like an iron sword stuck in a training ground.
I found it pathetic deep down, but I didn’t show it.
At that moment, the branch head, who had a face as if he were about to die, let out a scream.
“K-Keoheok—!”
“Indeed… this is why there are side effects. Even if I come out to the Jianghu after a long time, there are so many empty-headed guys like this, so I don’t have time to be lost in thought.”
Jeon So-yeong was staring at me with cold, sunken eyes.
Feeling her gaze, I continued to remain silent.
Even in that moment, as if he didn’t even feel a sense of unease, let alone the gap between him and the opponent.
The ridiculously ignorant branch head, who was stuck in the ground, shouted.
“W-What is going on…!”
“……”
A slight annoyance welled up.
In the meantime, Jeon So-yeong looked at me as if she wanted something from me.
At her gaze, I, unable to help it, let out a short sigh and slowly opened my mouth.
“Huu. You didn’t come here to kill me.”
“Hmm.”
“I don’t think a person who has witnessed her subordinate being brutally murdered by a young man in front of her eyes would have anything to ask of me.”
“……”
As I continued to speak calmly, the attitude of Jeon So-yeong, who had been staring at me with a cold, chilled gaze, momentarily paused.
Literally, it was a reaction as if she was thinking, what did this bastard do right to be so calm?
At Jeon So-yeong’s reaction, I, who was still maintaining a blank expression, said,
“Speak freely.”
“……!”
“I am still curious about what brought you all the way here… but I will try to listen as much as possible.”
“……”
Jeon So-yeong was still maintaining her silence.
As I continued to watch her attitude, I thought to myself.
‘It feels like dealing with a picky cat…’
If I couldn’t hold back and had blurted out those words, the probability of my neck being blown off by her in one move was high.
But as someone who was accurately judging the current situation, I was convinced that it was best not to show my emotions recklessly.
It was that situation.
“Hmm… I don’t really want anything from you.”
“……?”
At her words, it was a moment when even I was a little surprised and just tilted my head.
As if she found my reaction interesting or amusing, Jeon So-yeong, who had a slight smile on her lips, continued to speak.
“Yes, this should work.”
“……!”
“You first present what I want in this place. It’s fine even if it’s just a guess or a simple prediction.”
“What does that mean…?”
“Isn’t it simple? You also must have had a rough idea of what I was thinking when I came here, and why I was just watching this massacre. Use that reason as a basis and present a price.”
“……Hmm.”
I swallowed hard.
At that, Jeon So-yeong sat down on the chair next to her.
Pulsseok—
It was at the moment when her curved hips were about to be placed between the backrest and the seat.
Jeon So-yeong said to me as if she was doing me a favor.
“I’ll give you about an hour to answer.”
“……”
“Think carefully and come up with an answer in the meantime.”
“…What happens if I don’t answer here?”
As I said so, looking at her slightly, Jeon So-yeong finally crossed her arms again and answered.
“Well, isn’t that something you have to guess as well?”
“……”
“I won’t listen to any more questions from you. Come up with an answer that will satisfy me.”
“……”
‘Is this woman completely crazy…?’
Having lost my senses, I stared at Jeon So-yeong with a blank gaze.
At my empty gaze, as if she felt something, she sent a slight smile towards me.
At Jeon So-yeong’s attitude, I inwardly shook my head.
‘Crazy bitch…’
Thinking so, I began to drag on time, pretending to think hard.
Tuk, tuk-
At that moment when a pool of blood was about to form from the slaughtered corpse in the corner, I finally sent a cautious telepathic message.
[…Among the followers of the Young Lord you serve, Blood Witch, there is an important person who has betrayed you and joined Lord Cheon.]
“……!”
[If you promise to withdraw quietly here… I will give you the information.]
“……”
In that moment, with a slight time lag, a fragment of a terrifying aura seeped out from the Blood Witch, Jeon So-yeong.
“…Is it true?”
“……”
I remained silent at her question.
As they say, silence is affirmation.
Finally, as if Jeon So-yeong had also confirmed my sincerity, she let out a word as if she was dumbfounded, and asked me in a telepathic message.
[…Where did you get that information?]
[Don’t you also have some idea, Blood Witch.]
I smiled faintly and then said leisurely.
[This is top secret information I obtained from the Hao Clan this time.]
…In reality, it was just an application of the content from the original novel.
