The Return of The Crazy Demon

“Ah, that’s what the Rebirth Sect is? I got it.”

“Drag him.
Also, take his sword.”

“Understood.”

When Cha Sung-tae disappears with the unconscious So Gun-pyeong and his sword, Jang Deuk-soo picks up the kitchen knife on the floor, looks at it, and says in a surprised voice.

“Gasp! Look at this.”

Jang Deuk-soo says as he holds out the kitchen knife.

“He’s indeed a great master.”

I look at the crooked kitchen knife and say.

“Not bad.
I’ll buy you a new kitchen knife.”

“It’s fine.
I can fix it at the smithy.
It’s not like Mister Geum and I don’t know each other.”

“Do whatever you want.”

Jang Deuk-soo says worriedly.

“Isn’t Ilyang Prefecture doomed?”

“No way.
The Black Rabbit Union will be doomed.
Just focus on yourself.”

“I’ll do that.”

I look around the Zaha Inn construction site after parting with Jang Deuk-soo.
To not bother the workers on site, I watch Yeon Ja-seong supervise the construction from a distance and head towards the Plum Blossom Pavilion.

At this point, I wonder if I should barge into the Black Rabbit Union first.

I don’t want to cause damage to those who are just busy making ends meet.

Not all of the Black Rabbit Union know how to pay for their meals like So Gun-pyeong.

I say to Cha Sung-tae, who is standing watch by So Gun-pyeong’s bed.

“Wake him up.”

“Yes.”

Cha Sung-tae kicks the bed and says,

“Wake up, asshole.
You think this is your house?”

The unconscious So Gun-pyeong opens his eyes quietly as if he is waking up and suddenly sits up, startled.

“Gah!”

So Gun-pyeong looks around with astonished eyes and gulps down his saliva.

‘Why am I alive?’

I ask the guy who hasn’t come to his senses yet.

“Gun-pyeong, where is that insane Dae Na-chal?”

“I have no idea.
How would I know? Even our master doesn’t know.”

So Gun-pyeong frowns and touches his face while talking.
His cheeks are swollen.

“What about the leader of the Black Rabbit Union?”

“He watches over his own clan.”

“I’m asking what he’s up to these days.”

“He’s in training.”

“Is it another ranking match again?”

So Gun-pyeong looks at me, stunned as if asking how I knew that information.

“Why? Is it strange that I know?”

“Of course, it’s strange.”

“The Low-Down Sect knows everything, except the things we don’t.”

So Gun-pyeong furrows his brows because he can’t understand what is being said in his state of confusion.

“What?”

I am a little proud after I said it.

I have known about it since I returned to the past.
I will pass on all the future information and knowledge in my brain to the Low-Down Sect.

Only then will the Low-Down Sect become the strongest sect in Kangho.

It’s all thanks to my return anyway.

Cha Sung-tae echoes what I say while glaring at So Gun-pyeong.

“The Low-Down Sect knows everything.”

I correct Cha Sung-tae’s words.

“That’s not true.
We don’t know what we don’t know.”

“Oh, really?”

“The important thing is that we’re able to find out what we don’t know quickly.”

“That’s right.”

Cha Sung-tae suddenly nags at So Gun-pyeong.

“Do you understand? We find out about what we don’t know.
In the end, there’s nothing the Low-Down Sect won’t know.
The most powerful intelligence group, that’s us.”

However, So Gun-pyeong doesn’t know what kind of organization the Low-Down Sect is.
So Gun-pyeong looked at me and said,

“Just as I expected, you’re no ordinary man.
You’re a mole for the Low-Down Sect, right?”

“Mole?”

“You said you were an errand boy.”

Cha Sung-tae smacks So Gun-pyeong’s head.
With a slap— sound, Cha Sung-tae yells at So Gun-pyeong, who has sprawled on the bed again.

“How dare a rude bastard call our leader an errand boy? Are you out of your mind?”

Cha Sung-tae continues as he looks at me.

“Leader, this bastard has quite the talent.”

I suddenly look at Cha Sung-tae and worry briefly if he might become a stereotypical henchman later.

When So Gun-pyeong jumps up angrily, Cha Sung-tae steps back with a startled look.

“Ah, that scared me.”

So Gun-pyeong seems to have a robust natural body, but his resilience isn’t average either.
So Gun-pyeong is not a man Cha Sung-tae can handle alone.
However, Sung-tae, who is likely to become a typical henchman in the future, doesn’t back down because I am here as well.

“What are you going to do glaring at me like that? Do you want to die here?”

I then say to Cha Sung-tae.

“Leave us for a bit.”

Cha Sung-tae replies politely.

“Yes, Leader.”

So Gun-pyeong looks me up and down with new consideration and says.

“You’re the Low-Down Sect Leader? I thought you were an errand boy.”

I look at So Gun-pyeong for a long time and then say,

“Gun-pyeong, cut the nonsense.
Have you considered joining me?”

I ask him the question with no expectations.

So Gun-pyeong immediately replies.

“No.
How can a wolf pup…”

Join a dog; knowing the end of the sentence, I immediately cut him off.

“Shut up, before I rip off your mouth.”

“…”

It is only natural because this is a sloppy sect, So Gun-pyeong had never heard of it.
I glare at So Gun-pyeong for a moment without saying a word and then ask an emotionless and stiff question.

“You look like you’ll live a long life.
Should I just kill you right now?”

I slowly approach So Gun-pyeong.

So Gun-pyeong can’t answer.
He thinks he will die right away if he replies to my question.

I then say with a grin.

“No need to be formal.
Answer me carefully.
If you want to be killed, I’ll kill you right away.
Wolf pup, what? Were you trying to say how you can’t go under a dog? Who made this up? I’ll go find and kill them.”

I think that this is a word that lingers in my mind.

I don’t know why.

I have secret know-how in making him my subordinate.

It is a very effective and historically verified method.

The prime method of collecting disobedient people as subordinates is inspired by when Zhuge Liang caught Meng Huo.

The so-called Capture and Release Seven Times (七縱七擒).

Capture, beat them, let them go, and beat them up again.

My conclusion is that So Gun-pyeong has only been beaten up once.

I utter the thought that is going through my mind.

“… This is why men should read the Three Kingdoms.”

“…”

So Gun-pyeong, who does not understand the context of the conversation, is looking at me with fear for the first time.
