Absolute Regression - Chapter 217

Episode 217 Can I come forward?

“Yang Zhangzhu, didn’t I tell you? How can people live only for profit? Sometimes you have to live with losses. But what? Are you asking the Murim Alliance for help just because you lost a few pennies? Is Murimmaeng the solution to your life? It is said that they will report it to the Murim Alliance whenever possible. The Murim League is also busy. Centipedes are busy eating them too. So don’t do this again. okay?”

However, the man called Yang Jangju, who was lying down in front of him, made no reply. He had already stopped breathing. The person who nagged the other person even though he knew he was dead was Ji-Saeng, the golden pig.

He looked nervous. Contrary to his nickname, the Golden Pig, he was very thin and did not tolerate mistakes, so his subordinates could not even breathe properly in front of him.

“Reach this person’s house and organize everything that could make money. “Get rid of all those who may be in trouble later.”

“yes!”

The subordinate who received the order went out. As always, we will treat it as if it was looted by the Ronin and set it on fire.

For the time being, I had to squeeze things out like this. The reason was because of those damn fresh vegetables.

Ji-saeng groomed another subordinate.

“Did you find them?”

“I haven’t found it yet. “We have released additional people, so there will be news soon.”

The people who were in charge of Shinseonchae found all their assets and ran away, which caused a huge problem in their financial situation.

According to the investigation, Il-seon and Lee-seon, who were in charge of Shin Seon-chae, came to the battlefield in person and retrieved the money. They even disposed of all their other property and disappeared. Just thinking about those guys made me angry.

‘You idiots!’

I could have made a lot more money if I had continued to work for him.

I don’t know about others, but Il-seon is a smart and cautious person, so I didn’t think he would commit such a big loss.

I don’t know what specific feelings he had or what the circumstances were. They may have been fighting among themselves, or there may have been some other problem. Maybe it was something that happened to other people.

The smell of money is like the smell of blood, so flocks of wildcats gather there. Anyway, whatever the reason, if I catch him, I plan to rip him alive and kill him. Even if I was killed by other guys, I will kill you one more time.

“No matter what happens, find them! “If you don’t find it, you die.”

“yes! All right.”

Since he knew it wasn’t a joke, Suha became thoughtful and ran out.

At that time, another subordinate came and reported.

“The Great Tiger is waiting for you at Seojangwon.” Jisaeng,

the Iron Swordsman (鐵劍四虎),

attracted people who were quite infamous in Sapa. The intention is to entrust the fresh vegetables to them.

It would have been nice to have his direct subordinates carry out the work, but that was not possible due to Shin Seon-chae’s personality. They had to be people who had nothing to do with the Apostolic Alliance in case a problem arose. In particular, if the Murim Alliance raises an issue about this, it will cause trouble.

Jisaeng came out of the building and walked to the carriage. A man with a round face was sitting on the coach seat, looking up at the sky.

When Jisaeng came out, the coachman greeted him politely.

“Let’s go to West Lake.”

The carriage set off, and the men followed on horseback.

Jisaeng sent a message to the driver of the coachman.

―Please have the elder check whether the iron inspection number is appropriate.

The tone was extremely polite and courteous.

This person posing as a coachman was the real golden pig Jisaeng.

In the past, Lee Seon told Geommugeuk that he saw a tattoo on Ji Saeng’s coachman, and that person was this coachman.

―Don’t you look at people well now?

―I didn’t learn even one hundred percent of the elders’ insight.

-Excessive humility is flattery.

―I’m sorry, old man.

– Trust your eyes and judge.

The man had already been living a fake life for more than ten years. I thought like a living person and lived like a living person. Sometimes I feel like I’m really a bastard.

During those years, there was no life-threatening crisis. You might think that now you can live with your body exposed, but the real Jisaeng lived completely hidden.

The man thought that Jisaeng was truly amazing. Based on what he knows, Jisaeng has amassed an enormous amount of wealth that he will never be able to use in his lifetime. If it were me, I would never wear those shabby clothes and act like a coachman.

―How is your financial situation this month?

-There is still 20,000 cat short of money that needs to be sent to the superiors.

Since there was this or that at the top, I couldn’t report that my payment wouldn’t go up this month.

That’s your problem.

Because this has always been the position of the higher-ups.

-Do not worry. No matter what I do, I will handle it so as not to cause any trouble to my superiors or senior citizens.

-Do it like that.

When something like this happened, Jisaeng never once told me to pay for this month with my own money. Normally, I thought he was a really great person, but when I saw things like this, I was disappointed. Do I have to reveal the money like this?

Well, in a way, even this is a great thing. Because he was a person with a firm outlook on life when it came to money. He is a person who lives for the fun of making and collecting money. He is a man for whom money is everything.

So, I asked this before.

“Why don’t you become independent?”

It was because I thought that if he was truly a genius, he would accumulate enormous wealth wherever he went. Now, he pays back more than two-thirds of the money he earned to Yayulhan.

At that time, the real Jisaeng answered like this.

“No matter how much money you make, it will all end up being ripped off by people like me.”

It meant that it would eventually be taken over by someone with a strong backing.

“If you are too greedy, you will become angry.”

Fake Ji-saeng felt strange hearing the most greedy person he knew say these words. If he really gets angry because he is too greedy, he will be angry himself.

The carriage arrived at West Lake Building.

The fake Ji-saeng and his subordinates went inside first, and the real Ji-saeng got out of the carriage. In fact, this was his favorite moment next to making money.

Spying on the world while hiding your identity.

A strange pleasure that comes from no one recognizing one’s true self. The joy of becoming a god and controlling humans like pieces on a chessboard.

The real Jisaeng started wandering around the yard with his back to me.

* * *

The person waiting for Jisaeng in the guesthouse was Daeho (大虎), the first of the Iron Swordsmen.

Between them, there was a foot placed by his subordinates. It was a special foot that made it impossible for Ji-saeng to see the other side from the other side, but to make it impossible to see Ji-saeng from the other side.

“I meet a precious person.”

The moment when a fake Jisaeng must become a real Jisaeng.

This fake was also feeling a strange sense of pleasure. It was the moment when Sa Do-maeng Lee In-ja became a grand character called Ji-saeng among Yayul-han’s four-member group.

Everyone bowed before him, and he hoped that the pleasure that power gave would last forever.

“Thank you for coming this far.”

“The old man called me, and I have to run the distance of 10,000 miles in one go.”

Ji-saeng looked at him sitting in front of him and was deeply satisfied.

‘Just right.’

From the beginning, he was the one I liked the most out of all the candidates. In Jisaeng’s eyes, he looked like a wild dog, not a tiger. So it was perfect.

No one with a sane mind can do something like Sinseonchae. It was something that only those who felt no remorse even if they destroyed a person’s soul could do it. So it was not the tiger’s job, but the wild dogs’ job.

In that respect, Prosecutor Cheol was a suitable candidate in many ways. Past life told me that. Because they were the ones who committed all kinds of unspeakable evil deeds.

“I’ll be honest with you. “The people who were previously in charge of this matter had different minds, so I took care of it myself.”

The fact that they took the money and ran away with it should never have been known.

“Betrayal is death.”

“I will be loyal until death.”

“After the work begins in earnest, even if you say your true intentions, you will be killed.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“If you just follow those two things, you can make a lot of money.”

“I will work hard like a cow.”

Daeho laughed. His laughter revealed a superficiality that could never be hidden.

“And I hope to see your brothers sometime soon.”

“We are here together. “Please contact me at any time.”

“I will say goodbye soon.”

“All right.”

After greeting him so politely, Daeho left his position.

As he left West Lake, a fake Jisaeng came out of the building and got into the carriage.

-How is it?

-Looking at the statue, it is full of greed and pettiness, but at least it is not a statue that can be easily betrayed, so it seems suitable for this job.

-Then we will proceed.

So the carriage left there too.

* * *

Daeho returned to his residence.

He felt good. He had been saying that he was a villain since birth, but he was now tired of his evil deeds. They were just about to do something big and retire when Jisaeng chose them.

“You guys! done!”

The very moment Daeho opened the door and entered, he was startled.

Lee Ho, Sam Ho, and Sa Ho were asleep sitting on chairs lined up next to each other.

And sitting between them was a young man they had never seen before.

At first, I thought he was a young man called by his brothers.

‘I told you not to invite outsiders.’

But one thought immediately comes to mind. Are you calling someone over to sleep? Or are you trying to make fun of me? Doing something you’ve never done before in your life?

These thoughts passed by in an instant.

Daeho’s worries did not last long. It was at that moment that he turned as quickly as lightning and tried to run away.

Daeho’s whole body froze.

When I arrived, a man wearing a white mask was standing behind me. The moment my eyes met the ice-cold eyes inside the mask, my body froze. I’ve met many villains of all kinds, but I’ve never seen such scary eyes.

Extreme Soma slowly stretched out his hand and easily suppressed Daeho’s internal energy. Even though he was a great tiger who was able to eat well in the martial arts world, he could not even lift a finger even when his opponent touched his Danjeon blood sword.

Two more men came in behind Extreme Soma. They were the King of Poison and the Great Dragon of the West.

“I’m not going to interfere, I’m just going to watch.”

The Poison King walked past Dae-ho and sat down at the desk, and Seo Dae-ryong closed the door.

Geommugeuk called for Daeho.

“Come closer.”

Daeho slowly walked towards Geommugeuk.

‘You have to come to your senses to survive!’

That was the only thought.

It was only when he got closer to Geommugeuk that he was able to get a closer look at the remaining Iho and Samho Saho. Their bodies were already stiff.

‘They’re all dead!’

Daeho’s heart sank. There were no wounds on their bodies, but it looked as if they had been killed without even drawing their swords. Who on earth are these people?

“Are you doing this because you know who we are?”

“The Iron Inspector. “You are the first, Daeho.”

When I told them exactly, Daeho spoke quickly.

“We have an important task. “You made a big mistake.”

“You were given the job of Shinseonchae by the Apostles? “What a great thing that is.”

Daeho was surprised by Geommugeuk’s words.

“Did you do this knowing who was behind it?”

At that time, Extreme Soma walked forward, looked at Daeho and said.

“Without wasting time, just give me half a minute. “I will make you a dog that listens well.”

Daeho’s entire body stood on end and his whole body trembled.

At that time, the Poison King spoke politely to Extreme Soma.

“Can I step forward?”

Extreme Soma looked at the Poison King. The Poison King could not make eye contact with the evil Soma.

Extreme Soma nodded willingly and took a step back.

“That’s right.”

It was the first time the two interacted since leaving the school.

The Poison King took out a vial of Juseomjuseom from his bag and said to Geommugeuk.

“How can you trust a person like that to proceed with your work? Instead, you can definitely believe in solitude.”

There was a hideous bug writhing in the medicine bottle.

“If this thing takes root in your brain, even if you tell me to cut off my arm, I will cut it off.”

At those words, Daeho became thoughtful. The thought of that disgusting thing entering my head made me feel nauseous.

Geommugeuk smiled and asked the Poison King.

“I heard you’re not coming forward?”

“When I saw that guy, I wanted to test him. “It’s been a while since we tested it on people.”

“Unfortunately, there is no time to experiment with solitude.”

“Then feed me this.”

The Poison King took out another bottle of poison from his bag.

“It is a poison that will cause your entire body’s organs to melt and die if you do not take the antidote every day. “If you want to betray, just give it a try.”

“It shouldn’t leave any poison behind.”

“Who cares about poison?”

“Then this is perfect!”

The next moment, Daeho shouted urgently.

“Please save me! “What should I do?”

The eyes of the four people turned to Daeho. Daeho’s whole body was shaking. It was a strange combination that seemed neither a villain nor a charlatan.

I have experienced all kinds of evil people so far, but this is the first time I have encountered someone who evokes such primal fear. Opponents who feel like no matter what tricks they try, it will never work.

Geommugeuk approached him and spoke in a soft tone.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

The moment Daeho heard those words, he knew. That they will act as their brothers. That was his intention when he killed all three of his younger brothers.

Geommugeuk handed him the Poison King’s poison.

“Large, let’s drink this first and then talk about what we need to do.”

“You don’t have to drink it! If you let me live, I will do anything you tell me to do! I swear on my name, on my parents’ behalf, and on the gods of heaven and earth! If you don’t keep it, you will be punished and die!”

Then Geommugeuk opened his mouth and poured the medicine.

“I don’t believe it. Keep going!”
