Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 1014
Episode 1014
Revised History (4)
“Huh! “Huh!”
The young man gasped.
My legs were shaking from an indescribable feeling. My heart was pounding like crazy and my hands, which were not holding anything, were shaking as if they were holding a thousand pounds of rock.
My shaking hands were quite dirty. It was hard to see because there was very little light, but there was a lot of blood and dirt stuck to it.
A few nails were missing from the dirty fingertips, exposing the bare flesh. The left finger was broken and bent to the side.
It was a pretty horrible sight. Of course, the pain will be severe.
But the young man felt no pain.
‘done.’
The young man felt curious.
At first, I thought it was a common miscellaneous thing. He secretly handed me a silk pouch as a bribe, and I almost clicked my tongue at its simple size.
However, the moment the young man checked the item in his silk pocket, he realized that ‘it’ was not an ordinary item.
I was very satisfied and even made an appointment to have a drink.
The next day, a drinking party was held.
Dazzling beauties, many of whom I don’t know where they came from, took care of the young man. At first, I was quite calm, but as soon as I drank alcohol, my senses disappeared.
‘He’ knew how to suit people’s mood. It was a night so full of fun that I wondered if I had ever had this much fun.
That day was the end. To the young man, ‘he’ soon became a friend.
The young man confided many things to ‘him’. Even though they only met for a few days, ‘he’ understood the young man’s heart like an old memory.
And it made me realize.
Even if he dies, he will not be able to escape the swamp of defeat.
The shadow of the older brother, the shadow of the father.
Furthermore, it showed that the young man’s world would not come from this family, which was overshadowed by his grandfather’s shadow.
The young man had never dreamed of his own world. I just vaguely wanted to be the best.
So, can you become the best if you break away from your family?
That can’t be possible.
Rather, the world outside the family was filled with all kinds of monsters. Without having to go all the way to Seongcheon, there were countless people of the same age who looked up to the outstanding young man named Hu Ji-su.
‘He’ told the truth, and the young man fell into extreme despair as he witnessed the truth he had been ignoring.
A life that cannot be the best.
A life that went astray, with nothing else in mind.
However, there was a ray of light in his life.
It was when I met ‘her’ when I was young.
She shined.
Free from the pressure of her family and her desire to be the best, she was beautiful, confident, and shone brighter than anyone else.
The young man was immediately fascinated by her.
It wasn’t just because he was a hot-blooded youth. To the young man, she was more than the object of his affection.
As I talked to her, even briefly, I felt the unknown weight on my shoulders disappear.
Her eyes were brighter than the stars in the night sky and more beautiful than the bright moon, so they were like the sun that I couldn’t bear to look at directly.
From then on, the young man tried again and again.
Thanks to his efforts, he was able to become a famous late exponent and received unprecedented expectations within his family.
The young man studied the world and knew how the world viewed his family. He also realized how to use his family and his prestige to become the best.
However, she rose to a level that was as high as the young man’s growth, or even surpassed the young man’s growth.
No, it was high from the beginning. The young man felt that way.
Nevertheless, it felt new every time I saw it. Furthermore, as she grew older, she even showed the appearance of a mature woman.
The young man thought. Am I really suitable for her?
The family’s reputation was higher this way. But the young man was not confident.
So I couldn’t convey my feelings properly. Someday, when I reach the same level as her, then I will proudly propose to her. The young man made up his mind to do so.
But there was no guarantee that she would not get married by then.
For the first time, I asked my father for a favor. Please stop her from getting married. Ask her to take the time somehow, even if it means taking away the power of the family she belongs to.
The father was not interested in the young man’s love. What her father was interested in was the power of her family itself.
Her father ‘allowed’ the young man’s love, and after that, her family’s luster little by little began to fade.
I thought it was okay.
If I rise high and stand proudly facing her, if I marry her, both families will be able to engrave their names in history as great powerful families.
And then ‘that guy’ appeared.
A talentless nerd who was born as the eldest son of a small, powerful family in Jiangsu, adjacent to Anhui.
That talentless guy has suddenly become a mountain peak, and has now reached the sky.
Enthusiasts called him a genius who appears once in a hundred or even a thousand years. It was an extremely unpleasant title, but it was said that he was at the forefront of the youth of this era.
I felt jealous. But it would have been okay if that was all.
‘She’ was the problem.
Ever since she started hanging out with that idiot, something that had been in the young man’s heart began to twist and break.
I felt something more than jealousy. I felt murderous intent.
I don’t know how much I wanted to pull out my sword and cut off his head when I encountered him on the way to the first Murim Alliance issue.
There was even an uproar once because of the flesh that leaked out without my knowledge.
From that point on, my father treated me like a sack of barley. Since my older brother, who had been at the closing school, came back, it seemed like a good thing for the second son, who had no skills and no knowledge of the subject.
The young man was broken.
He was taken by his grandfather and trained to forget his thoughts and grow, but that was all. Although martial arts had grown, the young man’s insides were even more twisted than before.
And the ‘he’ who was created showed reality to the young man.
It showed that there was no place for young people in the family, the Murim Alliance, or the entire Jungwon Murim.
It reminded me that I had already become a loser and that my one and only life had already been ruined beyond control.
The young man felt such despair that he thought of death.
What Ji-eum said was right.
He was a failure. He was a loser and an incompetent idiot.
At that time, Ji-eum revealed another fact.
‘Are you going to live like that for the rest of your life, weighed down by the value of your family’s name?’
‘Even if you know my heart, you won’t know the weight I feel.’
‘I don’t know. ‘I’m carrying a lot heavier weight than you.’
‘What is that?’
‘It’s not me that’s important. If the intention is to continue to fail like that, wouldn’t it be a man’s will to aim for the last shot of his life?’
‘One room? ‘Is there any chance left for me?’
‘You can run away with her.’
‘It’s impossible.’
‘It’s possible. The land in Gangseo is tightly held by our Sangmu Union. I’ll set up a bridal room there for you, so you can take her and live with her.’
‘I can’t do that. My family and this world will try to catch me.’
‘If the world doesn’t accept you, you can destroy the world and live alone.’
‘You’re destroying the world?’
‘You don’t need military service, learning, or family origin. All you need is her.’
‘…that’s right.’
‘If the family is weighing down on your shoulders, blow the family away. If the Murim Alliance weighs heavily on your head, then strike the Murim Alliance.’
‘how?’
‘Didn’t you get into a lot of trouble with your father during your brother’s closing? There must be many family secrets you share with your father. ‘Wouldn’t it be okay to negotiate over that?’
‘You want me to threaten my father with my family’s wealth?’
‘Your father abandoned you.’
‘…!’
‘It’s life’s last chance. I don’t care what happens to the world. I just risk my life for my dream. So are you going to give up on the dream you had?’
‘My dream…’
‘What is your dream?’
‘My dream…’
‘If this continues, she will fall into the arms of another man. ‘Don’t you know that the probability of that man becoming the eldest son of the Yeon family is very high?’
‘no!!’
‘If you make a decision, I will help you. Even if you take her and disappear, I will make sure that the Murim Alliance will never find you. Of course, you too have to play your part.’
‘…What is that method?’
‘First, let me meet your father.’
‘What will we do when we meet?’
‘I will make you give up on your behalf.’
‘how?’
‘You have to tell me. Information that can help push your father.’
Ji-eum finished speaking with a sigh.
‘It will be a fight that will put my life on the line, but what is it like to be a good friend? If I die at the hands of your father, then I will try to find another way.’
‘He’ was truly a creation. He was a benefactor who showed him that there was hope even in his life that had no way to be saved.
And surprisingly, he succeeded in completely controlling his father.
‘He’ made so many things possible. Seeing things that seemed impossible become reality, the young man was filled with powerful hope and anticipation that he could achieve a dream that was close to a pipe dream.
And now.
Just as a friend fulfilled his role as a friend, he fulfilled his role.
“I can’t help it. I can’t help it. I’m going to get my life back. “We will find her.”
I dug the ground with my bare hands out of fear that there might be a master who sensed my inner strength and came to visit me.
One of my fingers is broken and a few nails are missing, but I’m okay.
The overflowing tension turned into joy. Because of those buried items, the Murim League will never be able to find them.
Not to mention my dead father…
‘…!!’
The young man’s face turned pale.
The fact that his father had died once again disturbed his mind.
At the same time, I felt like there was no turning back now. His father is dead and he has finished his work.
She is the only one left.
“Wait, Ah-yeon. You may feel anxious for a little while. But it’ll be okay. “I can make you happier than anyone else.”
The young man took out a small silk pouch from his chest.
It was said to be an elixir filled with powerful fire energy, which was given to him by Ji-eum after returning from a negotiation with his father.
It is said to be an item that doubles one’s internal energy for an instant, but after half a vision, all one’s internal energy is consumed, rendering one unable to use it for two days.
I thought it was plausible. Because there is no means in this world that can make you gain without risk.
If his internal strength is twice that of his own, that amount alone can surpass the level of a long-time member of the Nine Great Moon Sect. With that level of strength, there would be no problem in bringing her back.
“I will make you happy. Smart you will know that this is better for me and for you.”
The young man staggered out of the ground.
It was a bit out of shape because it was covered in dirt, but I didn’t have time to clean it up.
So the young man, Namgung-hyeon, headed toward the military headquarters through the forest path.
It was the exact time when anti-black fighters gathered in the square and began to disperse due to the resolute response of the public ambassador.
