The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 816 (816/820)
I feel the atmosphere has become colder.
Their eyes are fixed on me and the seething speculation stimulates my heart.
Heart pounding.
I moved my hands, feeling the short, throbbing beats.
Ouch! They react even to my smallest actions.
I feel a heightened sense of alertness.
The moving fingertips held the teacup.
Before destroying the table, he intentionally left it floating in the air.
It would be a shame to let it go like this, right? The food tastes good, but the tea tastes good too.
Slurp. He took a sip and cleared his throat.
Until then, the surroundings were still quiet.
At that moment, the silence was maintained.
“… How on earth did you know… ?”
The man who asked me a question earlier asks me the same question.
I know what the question means.
“what?”
But I pretended not to know and asked back.
Then the man adds with a frown.
“How did you know where this place was?”
“Ah. That.”
What I mean is, how did you know that this was the site of Gyecheonmun?
“Of course it’s a secret.”
“…”
There’s no way I’d tell you that.
Why would you give away such valuable information?
It may be precious information, but it’s something I heard in passing in my past life, but it would be surprising to them.
Naturally, I planned to take advantage of it.
“It doesn’t really matter how I knew. At least to me.”
Creak. As I lean back, a noise comes from the chair.
It didn’t look like a very good chair.
“That’s not what’s important right now….”
“Whoa-!”
He grabbed the hair of the woman who was lying on the floor.
“Where is your master? That’s what I said.”

“… This guy-!”
Woodduck.
“—!!”
A harsh noise spreads and a woman screams.
He grabbed my left arm and twisted it.
The arm was twisted in a bizarre way that made it obvious that it was in pain.
“My speech is short. If I say it is short, do you think your speech will be short too?”
“That kid-!”
“Can’t you stop!?”
“haha.”
It keeps getting shorter, it’s annoying.
This time, I grabbed his right arm and tried to break it right away.
“Now, wait a minute.”
The man suddenly stops my actions.
“Hey, stop it.”
“…”
I tried to give him strength without listening.
The man who saw that shouted again.
“Stop it!”
It was only when I heard the changed tone that I stopped my actions.
He smiled straight away and spoke to the man.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“…snap.”
“Open your eyes a little. How can you look at a guest like that?”
“What on earth is the reason for this?”
“…Uh, I don’t really like repeating myself. Sir, are you perhaps a little slow in understanding?”
I told you the reason from the beginning. I don’t know why you keep asking.
“I told you to call your master.”
“…”
“You still don’t understand? Help me understand.”
He put down the hand that was holding the woman and picked up something else.
A young boy who passed out with his head banged on the table.
“hey.”
Even if I call, there is no movement.
I saw that and smiled.

“The kid is pretending to faint. Should I wake him up? It might hurt a little if I wake him up.”
“…!”
Only then does the guy start to shake his body briefly.
“…Tongue… Hyung.”
The guy who was caught a long time ago is now calling me out of pity.
“You’re a bastard. What kind of bastard is he when he’s older than me? I’ll rip his tongue out.”
It was a method that would never work.
This guy is not a real kid.
Although she was wearing makeup, her body looked like it was probably sick.
I know this because there were some such guys among the secret guests.
He grabbed the guy’s head tightly.
“Ugh…!!!”
If you give it strength, it will start spitting out saliva immediately.
I’m trying to apply just enough force until a problem occurs, but I’m not sure if that will work since I’m not good at controlling my force these days.
It doesn’t really matter if it doesn’t work out. My head isn’t going to explode, right?
“Ugh… Ugh.”
“Stop it!”
“How can the Murim Alliance’s greetings be so cruel-!!”
The things I hear are quite funny.
Cruel?
“Those guys who approached me and tried to extract information by saying they were right are talking nonsense. Anyone who sees me would think I was a clean person.”
I knew it from the moment I first came to the inn.
These guys knew I was coming.
No, to be exact, he must have been preparing from the moment he found out I was nearby.
I noticed it the moment I arrived in this neighborhood.
Because I felt eyes watching me from all sides.
It’s so detailed that you wouldn’t have noticed it if you hadn’t been paying close attention.
It was a considerable amount of hiding.
Mentioning this makes the eyes look more and more curious.
“Okay, this is the fourth time I’ve said this. Normally, I don’t tolerate more than three times… but since you paid for the food, I’ll let you off this time. Listen carefully.”
“Ugh… Ugh… .”
“Where is Moonju? If you don’t answer within three minutes, you die.”
Lift up three fingers and fold them one by one.
“One. Two…”
Fold your fingers at a slightly faster pace, quickly reaching the last finger.

At the last moment, when I was about to apply force while folding my thumb.
“No, the Lord Moon isn’t here right now.”
“oh.”
The answer came.
“You’re finally answering.”
If we had been a little later, we would have had to remove one body, but fortunately, we did.
“There is no owner?”
“… That’s… right. The Lord Moon is not here right now.”
“Where did you go?”
“…”
“answer.”
“Keep going!!!”
“Hey, he went out on business…! He won’t be back today.”
“Hmm. Really?”
After hearing that, I relaxed my grip on my head.
“Ugh… .”
As soon as I release my strength, the bastard collapses and grabs my head.
It looks like he was in a lot of pain.
I turned my back on that guy and stroked my chin with my hand.
‘The seat was vacated.’
I repeated those words to myself.
The power inside the guest house is probably not there.
However, it seems to be of a higher level than what is known.
That’s understandable, aren’t those guys wary of me too?
With this many people, you’re wary of just me?
This is not simply because they know that I am the leader of the Murim Alliance.
‘I feel like I can feel something.’
I guess it’s because I intuitively know that I’m strong.
Although some of it was intentionally spilled, it was still a strange feeling.
‘There’s definitely something different.’
If we only look at the information that Mukyeon gave, there’s no way this would be possible.
It was evidence that something was different from what was known.
If so, is the information given by Maeng wrong? Or not.
‘Has something changed since I got the information?’
This shouldn’t be happening, but it’s strangely interesting.
Advertisements
It’s annoying when there’s something.
It keeps bothering me.
“Hmm. Then that would be difficult… I have something to say to Moon-ju.”
“… If you tell me what you want to say, I will convey it politely.”
“Hey. I told you I had something to say to Moon-ju. I forgot about the fucking food.”
“…”
The man’s brow furrowed slightly at the words he uttered.
Judging from the way you stand up and speak, you seem to have some kind of position.
So I looked at him and asked.
“You know, do you know why I came looking for you?”
“… I don’t know.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“I know. If I didn’t know you right now, it wouldn’t make sense.”
“Who am I?”
When I asked with a slight smile, the man answered right away.
“The Star King of Shanxi. The hero of Henan and the next generation’s greatest man in the world. That’s what’s precious.”
“Hmm….”
I asked for nothing.
I feel sick to my stomach listening to the explanation.
It’s a description full of problems, but it’s confirmed that the identity is known in the end.
“Well, now think about it. Why do you think I came to you?”
“… I don’t know. That’s what we wanted to ask. Why on earth did a blind person come all this way to this faraway place?”
Why are you asking such an obvious question?
“Of course the target is you guys. If not, I wouldn’t have come all the way here and made a fuss.”
“…”
I know it’s true.
That’s exactly the expression on his face. It felt really different.
“Me too. I don’t really like annoying things like this… But what can I do? If they’re going to scold me, I’ll scold them. Right?”
It was something I chose to do rather than something I said above, but it was something that didn’t need to be said.
“What is that-.”
“So… . Stop talking nonsense. Let’s take it easy.”
“A tall tale…! I will say it again, Your Majesty… .”
“Kneel down.”
“…!”
thud-!!
Advertisements
Everyone around him, including the man, knelt down as he spoke.
A look of confusion spread across his face at the sudden situation.
at the same time.
Hwaaaaaaaah—!!!
Kuuuuu–!!
He opened up his energy and filled the room.
The vibration spreads and people quickly clutch their chests.
“Geuk-!!”
“Ugh…!”
It was so stuffy that they would often stagger, and those who were in extreme pain would vomit blood, spill blood on the floor, and lose consciousness.
It’s not just energy.
The intensity was heightened by mixing speculation and murder.
He makes everyone kneel at his feet and nods his head.
“I was quite funny.”
As always, when I speak nicely, you don’t understand.
This same process didn’t change no matter where I went.
“I guess so. How funny would it be to try to fool someone with such bullshit?”
“I am.”
The man is keeping his wits about him, as if he is not low on the level.
Not bad. If you pair it with Seongyul, it’ll be just fine.
It was a shame to be in a single sect, and not even in the prestigious Gyecheon sect.
That makes it even more amazing.
Why would a guy like this be here? That’s really questionable… .
Well, we can worry about that later, for now we need to consider other things first.
Keuggeuggeuk—!!
The guest house is gradually becoming more and more crushed by the pressure. Judging by the intensity, it seems like it won’t last long.
What about the human body?
It may be a bit more sturdy since it’s unmanned, but it doesn’t look like it will last very long.
If it’s the same intensity as now, I’ll collapse in no time.
I felt it and turned my head.
“This isn’t a warning or anything. If I have to do it, I’ll do it.”
A location that appears to be the kitchen beyond the fallen people.
He said while looking at it.
No answer came.
I just continued talking as if I didn’t care.
Advertisements
“If you want to check, keep doing it.”
Heart pounding.
Give your heart strength and energy. There is no hesitation.
I really thought about throwing it all away.
While I’m at it, I’ll add some heat.
Just as I was thinking that.
“Heh heh.”
I paused for a moment at the sound of laughter.
It was the voice I was waiting for.
“… This is really worse than the rumors I heard.”
Ttukbuk.
Someone walks out of the kitchen with low footsteps.
It was an old man holding a kitchen knife.
What’s unusual is that, compared to the wrinkles, he has dark black hair.
He asked with a slightly surprised look at the sight.
“By any chance, did you make the food?”
“Yes. I’m glad you liked it.”
“This is a bit unexpected.”
I was serious. The food was really delicious, but that old man made it?
As I was standing there in surprise, this time the old man spoke to me.
“It is an honor to meet the great leader of the Alliance.”
When you smile, the wrinkles around your eyes become even deeper.
“I have appeared as you wished, so could you please calm me down?”
“It’s an honor, but it’s really hard to see.”
“Ugh, ugh, ugh… I’m sorry. I’m a little embarrassed.”
An old man with black hair slowly approaches, piercing through the air.
That old man was him.
‘Gyecheonmunju Daehwan.’
I remember seeing your face in passing.
Swish… .
He regains his energy as if he was listening to someone.
As the energy that had been released everywhere comes in, clearing sounds can be heard one after another from the surroundings.
“Cluck, cluck…!”
“Ugh… ugh.”
As those who were free from the pressure were struggling, Gyecheonmunju came towards me and sat down on the chair in front of me.
Advertisements
And then he looks at the table in front of him, broken in half, and the people who have fallen down.
“Can I send the kids away for a while?”
“as you please.”
He waves his hand as permission is granted.
Phew! A woman and a child appeared in the form of a shadowy figure, and they immediately leapt into the air and landed on someone else.
“Clean it up.”
“… Yes, yes.”
At that time, those who were relatively healthy were tending to the injured.
“I am the great leader who is in charge of the main text.”
The head of Gyecheonmun introduced himself.
“I know.”
“First of all, I think the children were somewhat rude to the great lord… As the lord of the clan, I would like to apologize on his behalf.”
Gyecheonmunju bows his head slightly.
I burst into a small laugh as I looked at his forehead.
“But that’s bullshit.”
“…”
“You probably knew that anyway. Why don’t you stop being so petty?”
“… drag drag.”
It was unexpected that I was cooking in the kitchen.
I already knew he was here and knew I was coming.
“Old man. Don’t act like a fool and just do what you’re doing. It looks like shit.”
“…”
When I let out all my frustration, only then did I feel a change in the head of the Gyecheonmun Gate.
The wrinkles around his eyes, where he had been trying to smile, disappeared, and an eerie feeling enveloped his spirit.
“Oh my. Your tongue is short for your age.”
Not only the voice but even the way he spoke changed.
“What I’m saying is, you little brats are really short-spoken. How dare you speak informally to the great lord of Meng? You’re going to get beaten up.”
“Is it because you have so much power that you’re arrogant… or is that just your natural nature?”
“How does it look?”
“I’m not interested. That’s not what I’m curious about. Yes, I’ve heard rumors. That a child from the Shanxi Province became king… That child became the leader of Meng. But.”
The gaze of the Heavenly Guardian comes to mind eerily.
“Why did the great king come to see this old man?”
Kkeuggeuk-!
I feel something on my skin.
It didn’t feel good. I ignored it and opened my mouth.
Advertisements
“It’s nothing.”
As she spat out the words, she grabbed the letter from her bosom and showed it to him.
It was a letter with the seal of Maeng.
“Sacheon’s Gyecheonmun. There was a report that you were connected to the Demonic Cult that attacked Hanam. We are going to conduct a search for this… Do you agree?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Gyecheonmunju made a dumbfounded expression.
“You came here alone for that? And you even say it out loud.”
“Then, I guess you came to eat quietly? Sorry, I’m not the type of person who enjoys eating out much, so that’s not the case. Oh, it’s okay if you don’t agree. In fact, it’s not something that requires consent.”
“What happens if I say I don’t agree?”
“Um… then.”
He pretended to think for a moment, then smiled and said.
“We have to catch them all and beat them up. You guys are going to die anyway.”
“… Hahahahahaha.”
The king of Gyecheon bursts out laughing because the words were funny.
The sound was so loud that it reverberated throughout the guest room.
The Gyecheonmunju, who had been laughing like that, suddenly stopped laughing as if he was putting on a play.
“… I thought you came alone.”
“That’s right. When we arrived today, our kids looked a little tired.”
“But you’re so brazen. What kind of confidence do you have?”
I tilted my head at the words of the astronomical scholar.
“Was what I just showed you not enough?”
Wouldn’t this be enough to overturn everything?
The Lord of Gyecheon replied to the words expressed in this way.
“Kekeke… No, that’s enough. And you have the right to be arrogant enough. I didn’t believe it when I heard the rumors, but when I saw it in person, I was amazed. How could he do that…?”
“Hey. Should I thank you for the compliment?”
“But, you have to.”
Gyecheonmunju added with shining eyes.
“I know you are a god and a being from the heavens… but you have lost your sense of caution due to your arrogance.”
“Hmm.”
It’s a mistake of heaven.
It was something like, “He’s a great genius.” It had a very subtle feel to it.
“The world is not everything it seems.”
“That’s right. The world isn’t everything it seems.”
I couldn’t help but agree with those words.
“Seeing is not everything. It really was like that.”
Advertisements
“…her?”
“Anyway… I have a lot to ask, but I’ll give you a choice. There’s something I’d like to recommend to you.”
The lord of Gyecheonmun frowns at my words.
“You didn’t hear me just now.”
“First. If you keep whining, you’ll get beaten up by me, blow the whistle, and get dragged into the majesty.”
“this…!”
The master of Gyecheonmun raises his body and tries to cast something.
“Second. Later, join hands with the Blue Dragon Lord and prepare to kill me.”
Towering.
At those words that were spoken, Gyecheonmunju’s body stopped in its tracks.
At the same time, a questioning look appears on his face.
I smiled happily at the reaction.
“What do you think? Which one do you want to do?”
