The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 868 (868/880)
“Sin, a sinner!”
“What the hell are you talking about!”
The Blue Dragon members who heard my words reacted enthusiastically.
It would be understandable to be bewildered if they suddenly barged in and told you that you were a criminal and that you were being punished.
Among them, especially.
“The Lord is joining hands with that bastard Sapha! That’s ridiculous!”
“Even if it has something to do with the Demonic Cult? That’s ridiculous.”
Their master, Ilcheonggeom, was angry about something.
Ilcheonggeom.
The person known to be closest to being one of the top ten best players in the world who will be replaced in the future.
After entering the military, he achieved significant results during the Battle of Jeongsa, and was recognized for his outstanding achievements and became the Blue Dragon Lord.
Someone says.
If it’s Ilcheonggeom, he might become the leader in the near future.
Now that the Shinryongdae has disappeared, the person closest to the leader right after Geomseon steps down is Ilcheonggeom.
Of course, this story is somewhat blurred with the reappearance of the Shinryongdae.
However, this does not mean that the value of the Ilcheong sword has decreased.
The value of the Ilcheong sword in the Central Plains was that it felt like a next-generation guardian who protected justice and chivalry.
‘Justice and cooperation.’
In my opinion, it was just incredibly awkward.
“This is a false accusation!”
The Blue Dragon members collectively protest. At any rate, their loyalty seems to be quite high.
[depot ship?]
I heard that and chuckled.
There was still energy in the voice.
They flinch at the sound of my voice.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“If it’s not a mother ship, then what is it…!”
Although he is cowering, he does not appear to be backing down.
It was nice to see them. It was a well-knit group, wasn’t it?
‘Yeah, it looks good.’
On the surface, that’s what it means. You have to dig deep to find out what’s inside.
“By what authority does the Great Lord Seongryong have to do something like this-!”
“That’s right. That can’t be happening.”
Hearing that, he smiled and asked.
[Why do you think I don’t have the authority?]
“That’s it… .”

Bam-!
As he spat out the words, he took out a wooden sign from his bosom and threw it on the floor.
“Ugh…!!”
“That’s…!”
The eyes of the guys who saw this grew as big as lanterns.
The word written on the sign was ‘Maeng’, and it had only one meaning.
‘Acting leader.’
When doing something in the name of the alliance. The right to make your own choices without interference from the Murim Alliance.
There are currently no more than three people in the Murim Alliance who possess this, excluding the leader.
And this card that I have was also given to me by Mukyeon himself.
I said, spreading the air pressure further, right after I threw the wooden sign.
[You seem to have forgotten why Seongryongdae was created.]
The Seongryongdae, newly created by the current Murim Alliance. The reason it was created is none other than this.
[Seongryongdae eradicates demons and kills sinners who oppose the evil spirits.]
If the swords up until now were made to deal with monsters.
Seongryongdae was created solely to deal with humans.
and.
[This Lord has the authority and right to immediately punish anyone judged to be a criminal in the name of the Murim Alliance.]
A sword that allows one to ignore the leader’s orders and act as an individual.
That was Seongryongdae.
[Ilcheonggeom is judged to be a criminal and is being executed. Is there any objection to this?]
“How could there be no objection…!”
At my words, a man in the group steps forward and shouts.
“No matter how much authority the Lord has given you, this is nothing more than an abuse of emotion…!”
[Hmm?]
I nodded and looked at the guy.
Abuse of emotions? That was a strange word.
[Why do you think so?]
Let me hear the reason. I said that while thinking like that.
“…Your Majesty, in the past, you attacked our lieutenant and rendered him unconscious.”
[Oh. That’s right.]
He willingly spared the person he was trying to kill. It was a kind of consideration.
The guy frowns at the bland answer.
“Also… today… our lord… .”
He bit his lip without speaking.
Since he was mumbling and not being able to speak properly, I spoke for him.
[Yes, I even used the Ilcheong sword. After being hit a few times, he fell down. He was very weak.]
“Huh!”
Thud… .
A rough atmosphere is rising from all sides.
That was the reaction when I insulted Ilcheonggeom. Honestly, I thought it wasn’t bad.
I feel respected and it’s good.
‘but.’
Advertisements
Do you know who the person you are sending that respect to is?
If you do that because you don’t know, then it’s pitiful.
If you do that even though you know everything.
‘They’re all idiots.’
There was no need to keep him alive. That was my judgment.
[so?]
“Tell me more,” I say, nodding my head. As if the situation has been set, the guy quickly adds to his words.
“I know that Your Majesty has ill feelings towards us, the Blue Dragons. But, if you come out and punish me like this, I can only see this as abuse.”
There is a trembling in his voice.
It looks scary. My air pressure is like that too. You must have seen or heard of the Ilcheonggeom, which is said to be on the verge of becoming a teenager, being beaten by a fangirl, so there’s no way you wouldn’t know.
Wouldn’t I look like a monster in front of him?
Still, it’s amazing that he says everything he wants to say.
In some ways, it could be seen as a positive thing.
“Honey, for the sake of legitimacy… first, let’s go to Maeng…”
[Geumtaeseom Island.]
“…!”
The guy flinches.
It had to be that way, that was the bastard’s name.
[A person born in Hanam Geumga who joined the Maeng ten years ago. He is forty-two years old, and judging by his contribution to missions… he is most likely to become a deputy leader in the year after next.]
“Uh… how.”
[You really lived hard. Well, I guess that’s how you got to where you are now…]
It’s not easy to get to that position without a lot of effort.
What about Hanam Geumga? It’s a Sega I’ve never even heard of. It’s even more so if it’s from a lower Sega.
Yeah, that’s probably why.
[Well, at least you shouldn’t have crossed the line.]
“What… are you talking about?”
[Daewon Geumtaeseom. In return for looking after Baek Dongpa, he received rotten money four times a year. Is that right?]
“…!!”
Geum Tae-seom’s eyes widen at the firm tone.
[In addition, he used it for his own achievements. He uploaded information about other Sapa guys after a certain period of time. This must also have been provided by Baek Dong-pa behind the scenes.]
“I, I…”
[Justice and cooperation? Trivial things.]
Ttukbuk. I took a step towards the guy. He hesitated and took a step back.
[Do you dare to bring that up?]
“Ah. No. This is, this is….”
[If you have an excuse to make, then make it. No matter what you say, there is enough evidence to deny it.]
He bit his lip. I could see anxiety and fear welling up in his eyes.
“This is a, a conspiracy–!!”
bang-!!
dump.
With a loud noise, Geum Tae-seom kneels.
Thud. As soon as the guy fell, blood flowed down to the floor. The guy’s head caved in and he died.
“That, mold!”
“Oh my…!!!”
When Geum Tae-seom dies before their eyes, those behind him react violently.

[The number of times I have dealt with Sapa behind his back is over ten. The period of time is five years. If you don’t have an excuse, you will be put to death.]
He said, wiping the blood from his hands.
The response was sufficient. At this point, the atmosphere and the board seemed to have been set.
[I will now call out the names of the criminals.]
He looked around with cold eyes. He met their gazes and mentioned them one by one.
[Daewon Oh Seok-cheong, knowing that orphaned girls were taken from the Hwanseonggiru in Hubei and forced to become prostitutes, turned a blind eye to it. In return, he brought in many prostitutes and committed dirty deeds against them. He went there almost once every three months. He was a nobleman with three daughters at home.]
A man with half his hair gone, Seok-Cheong Oh covers his mouth.
After finishing speaking, I looked at the other guy.
[Daewon Seokgyeongdo. He has a big handwriting on Haesunggwan, a military officer directly under Maeng.]
The man who looked like he was going to die, Seong Gyeong-do, shook his shoulders greatly.
Haesunggwan. It was a military academy created and operated by the Murim Alliance. Not just anyone could enter. It was a place where children under fifteen were tested, and those with sufficient talent were accepted.
Those who pass must undergo several years of training before being allowed to join the official swordsmanship of Meng.
Because of this, even the most prestigious families would often send their children if they were not direct descendants.
That means he is a very influential official.
[You took bribes, shared them with the elders, and took the entrance exam. Isn’t that right?]
The guy took a large sum of money from some of the higher-ups and arranged for their children to be admitted to Haesunggwan.
[By the way, we’re also going to capture that elder, so don’t worry.]
As the conversation continues, the atmosphere becomes more and more strange.
After that, I called a few more people.
The more sin is mentioned, the more reactions there are.
They were angry, saying it was nonsense and a false accusation, but they had a clear sense of unease.
Wouldn’t others know that? No way, the cracks have already begun.
Now that I’ve laid this much of a foundation, I just have to do what I have to do.
[You said you were pursuing justice and harmony.]
Slurp.
I hear the sound of a sword being drawn from somewhere. It was behind me.
[I’ll ask again.]
It makes the heart beat and increases the pressure. It is not for speculation or murder. It is only for pressure.
[Are you really justice?]
There was no answer. In fact, there was no need to hear it.
[If you cannot answer, I will make the judgment on that.]
Raised his hand.
[You are not justice.]
And then it came down again.
[Seongryongdae, punish the criminals.]
Kuuuu–!!!
As soon as the hand is lifted, several people jump out from behind.
These are people who have already finished talking.
There was no hesitation.
“I, I-I’m–!!”
Crunch-!
Before he could finish his words, Seongyul’s sword cuts off his head.
He was a guy who harassed women in Giru.
Before the severed head hits the floor, cries spread from other places.
“Kkaaaaaaah—!!!”
“Heeheehee–!! Heehahaha–!!”
Someone’s body trembles along with Bong-soon’s eerie laughter.

Those who cross the line by my standards will die, and those who are ambiguous will have their ligaments cut off and be left to breathe.
-Whoaaahhhh–!!
-Oh, oh my god–!!
I try to rebel somehow, but I am helpless. There are those with high levels of skill, but my pressure to tie them up is getting thicker.
-Oh, my lord…!
-Eww–!!
I walked towards them. Those who mentioned sin were busy struggling.
The expressions of those who were not mentioned are also unusual.
These are faces that don’t know how to deal with.
It seems overwhelming to understand this situation. I can’t even deal with it properly while watching my colleagues being cut down.
That’s what a rift in a relationship is.
By the time I was able to deal with them one by one with ease.
“What, what is this…!!”
Someone suddenly appears at the Blue Dragon’s residence.
It was Mok Ri-seon, the branch manager of Sacheon Branch.
I looked in that direction.
“Seo, Seongryongdaeju. What is this…!”
Oh, right.
[Yeah, you were there too.]
“…yes?”
The moment when the guy panicked.
My body had already appeared in front of the guy’s nose.
Bam-!
“Ugh!?”
He reached out and grabbed the guy by the neck.
[Sachon Branch Manager Mok Ri-seon. I have confirmed that you have been working with Gyecheonmun to commit treason.]
“Ugh… Huh!”
[You betrayed the Murim Alliance and threatened peace with Sapa. You will be punished here and now.]
“Okay… sleep… shut up…”
Wood crunch—!!!
Mokri-seon ends his life miserably with his neck broken.
“Hic–!!”
The men of the blind who came together trembled when they saw this. And in the midst of all of them.
Srrrrung-!! One of them pulled out a sword and aimed it at me.
He looks terrified, but his eyes are firm.
It was a person I knew. It was a person I had already confirmed a long time ago.
He was the only person in this small Sacheon branch with a clean background.
“… What are you doing at the branch of Maeng…! Even though you are the head of the main branch of Maeng…!”
Advertisements
[Seong Do-gyeom.]
“…!”
When I mention my name, the person who pointed his sword at me, Seong Do-gyeom, stops.
I said looking at him.
[From now on, you are the branch manager.]
“… What…? What is that…?”
After saying that, he immediately turned around.
By then the situation was almost over.
The smell of blood is everywhere and those who survived are drooling in pain.
There was no mention of sin, but those who tried to resist were subdued.
As you watch it, the pressure slowly decreases.
The fluttering uniform became quiet, and as I walked past the dead body, someone approached me and spoke to me.
It was Seongyul.
“… I did as you said.”
“Oh, you’ve had a hard time.”
Is it because he used a sword after a long time? His eyes are sparkling as if he touched the Thousand-Sal Castle.
I patted the guy on the shoulder as I watched him.
Thump.
Then the eyes become somewhat quiet.
While checking that, Seongyul added.
“However, the whereabouts of the Blue Dragon Lord are unknown.”
“okay?”
“… Yes. Should we look for it?”
“No, that’s not necessary.”
I already knew where it went.
“Bongsoon.”
“huh?”
Bong-soon, who was laughing her mouth off, looks at me when I call her name.
Oh, shit. I’m scared of that smile. She’s so cute, why is she smiling like that?
“Follow me.”
“Where are you going?”
“there is.”
He said, putting strength into his feet.
“To catch the escaped prey.”
