Episode 183. Unwelcome Guest (2)

The moment he heard those words, Cheon Yu-su felt breathless.

In fact, he had been holding his breath without even realizing it, and only when his breathing reached its limit did Cheon Yu-su exhale roughly.

“Haa- haa-.”

The time I held my breath was much shorter than usual.

From the moment the incineration took place, Cheon Yu-su’s body was not normal.

He was already having trouble breathing due to extreme tension, but hearing those words made it seem like he couldn’t even breathe properly.

“Are you doing it again?”

“…….”

“I thought things had changed a little. It seems people don’t change easily.”

The voice of the spirit was not heard at all in Cheon Yu-su’s ears.

Cheon Yu-su was coughing in pain as terrible memories from the past came to mind.

The same cold voice as before. And the unpleasant eyes that looked at him as if he was pathetic.

Just standing in front of the crematorium, Cheon Yu-su felt like he had returned to his younger and more lonely days.

“…Did you just tell me to kill Cheon Myeong Myeong?”

Cheon Yu-su barely opened his mouth, wiping the drool flowing from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Although his breathing was still unsteady, he seemed to have recovered enough to speak.

“Yeah. I heard you’ve been hanging out with that guy a lot lately.”

“As you said, I am acting together with Myung-myeong right now. But how……”

“Because that’s why.”

“……?”

“The basics of assassination is to make the enemy let his guard down. This is because you can kill him more reliably only when you strike in a situation where he is completely unpredictable.”

Cheon Yu-su had an expression on his face that said he didn’t understand what Yeong So-gak was saying to him right now.

Yeongso-gak continued speaking as if Cheon Yu-su’s opinion did not matter.

“The best way to make an enemy let his guard down is to make friends.”

“……?”

“A month, a year… In order to kill a big shot, you sometimes have to sleep with the enemy for more than ten years to make them let their guard down.”

At that moment, Yeongso-gak raised his right hand and pointed at Cheon Yu-su with his finger.

“If it were you, you could make Cheon Myeong Myeong let his guard down and definitely end his life.”

“……!”

“Well done. I didn’t think it would be of any use, but surprisingly, you’ve already done the work behind the scenes.”

“I am…….”

“Kill Cheon Myeong Myeong.”

Once again, Youngso-gak gave the order.

As I said, Cheon Yu-su was currently one of Cheon Myeong-myeong’s closest associates.

If you really put your mind to it, you could really kill Cheon Myeong Myeong.

Of course, in terms of skill, Cheon Myeong-myeong is far stronger, but even Cheon Myeong-myeong is human, so there were bound to be times when he let his guard down.

Take advantage of that gap and kill Cheon Myeong-myeong. That was exactly what Yeong So-gak wanted from Cheon Yu-su right now.

“Cheon Yu-su, I never thought of you as a member of the family I’ve seen until now. Of course, I never thought of you as my grandson.”

“…….”

“But if you can get this job done safely, I will finally acknowledge you as my grandson.”

Although it wasn’t officially announced, Cheon Yu-su was already being treated as someone who had been kicked out of the family.

Although he had talent for martial arts, due to his weak personality, he was often defeated by opponents who were inferior to him. And finally, the Salyeong method he had relied on left behind only a murderer named Hoe-myeong.

It would be safe to say that there is no possibility that such a genius will be active in the competition.

When all expectations for Cheon Yu-su disappeared, the family completely abandoned Cheon Yu-su.

‘You can’t refuse what I say.’

Looking at those eyes trembling with anxiety, Yeongso-gak was certain of that.

As time passed, I thought that my words might no longer make sense, but the moment I saw Cheon Yu-su after a long time, I knew right away.

Cheon Yu-su is still afraid of himself.

He had only grown a little bigger. The Cheon Yu-su in front of him now was no different from the Cheon Yu-su he had seen as a boy.

“This is your last chance to become a member of the clan.”

“…….”

“Cheon Yu-su, kill Cheon Myeong-myeong.”

The burning of the spirits, which is said once again in a calm manner.

Yes, my lord. Now the answer will come out of my mouth.

The moment he was about to nod while looking at her slowly opening lips, Yeongso-gak asked Cheon Yu-su with blank eyes.

“What did you just say?”

“sorry.”

“…….”

“I can’t kill Naming.”

An answer completely different from what was expected came out of Cheon Yu-su’s mouth.

That wasn’t all.

The eyes that had been shaking with anxiety were now looking straight at the other person, and his breathing had returned to normal.

It was clear that the person sitting there just a moment ago was Cheon Yu-su as a boy, but now, in Yeongso-gak’s eyes, he could clearly see Cheon Yu-su as an adult.

Yeongso-gak seemed to have just come to his senses, and now his voice was trembling slightly.

“Are you… going to reject what I say now?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

“Myung-myeong is my precious comrade. Even if it is the lord’s order, I cannot kill Myung-myeong with my own hands.”

“You idiot!”

With a rebuke filled with his inner strength, Yeongso-gak slammed the table hard.

“You are now participating in a competition to select the leader of the sect. There are no eternal allies there. Do you not know that Cheon Myeong-myeong is also an enemy that you must step on and climb up?”

“Name is the only one who told me that he needed me.”

“What……?”

“Even the family I was born into kicked me out… Myeong-myeong said he needed my help!”

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su suddenly got up from his seat.

Are you saying that Cheon Yu-su is not only glaring at you right now, but is also raising his voice?

Since it was the first time he had ever seen such a sight, Ilsun Yeongso-gak was speechless.

‘I decided not to run away anymore.’

Even Cheon Yu-su was surprised at this sight.

I can’t believe I’m rebelling against the spirit world like this.

“Don’t run away any longer.”

“…….”

“Nothing will ever change if you just run away.”

It was those words that made Cheon Yu-su move.

Cheon Myeong-myeong had told him that when he was suffering from depression.

The fear miraculously disappeared as soon as those words suddenly came to mind.

Fighting alongside Cheon Myeong-myeong, he felt different. Cheon Yu-su muttered to himself and shouted loudly once again.

“I am no longer your puppet!”

“…….”

“I will pretend that I did not hear what happened here. I will continue to fight alongside Mingming, so please go back now.”

It was the first time in my life that I had properly expressed my intentions to Yeongso-gak.

Although I felt fearful, the feeling of relief was much greater.

‘Did I speak too harshly?’

After screaming out loud, Cheon Yu-su belatedly began to worry about such things.

But contrary to his fears, Yeongso-gak remained silent and simply watched over him.

Could it be that he was so shocked that he was speechless?

In that case, it seemed like a good idea to quickly get out of the way.

“I’ll go out and take a look.”

Although Cheon Yu-su had just told Yeongso-gak to go back, he quickly tried to leave the room after regaining some sense.

A quick greeting and a hurried departure.

Although he didn’t hear a voice telling him to leave from behind, Cheon Yu-su approached the door without hesitation.

“……?”

The door opened, but Cheon Yu-su could not get out.

A person standing outside the door as if he knew that Cheon Yu-su would come out.

The moment Cheon Yu-su discovered that person’s existence, his eyes widened in surprise.

‘How long have you been here?’

I didn’t feel any movement until I opened the door.

And that face… is he wearing a mask?

It was strange enough to wear a mask like that in broad daylight, but it was also questionable why, of all the masks, he had to wear a raccoon mask.

‘… is dangerous.’

Cheon Yu-su instinctively felt that way.

It would be best not to associate with this kind of guy.

Cheon Yu-su tried to leave the room, taking a slight step to the side.

Bam-.

At that moment, steps followed the flow of water.

Since the other person also walked in the same way, Cheon Yu-su was unable to leave the room in the end.

Could it be that this person was planted by Yeongso-gak in advance to prevent him from escaping? Cheon Yu-su opened his mouth cautiously, preparing himself.

“…Who are you to block my path?”

“…….”

The gaze turned towards Cheon Yu-su at that question.

The moment he met the eyes visible through the mask, Cheon Yu-su strangely couldn’t take his eyes off of them.

“It’s salvation.”

A man wearing a raccoon mask. Gu-hwan muttered.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was walking somewhere with brisk strides.

I asked the congressman who had summoned Cheon Yu-su, and he was able to easily find out the location. He immediately left the congressman’s office and was currently heading there.

“Yes, name!”

At that moment, Cheonmuin grabbed Cheonmyeongmyeong’s shoulder and called out urgently from behind.

“Why on earth are you doing that?”

“…….”

“It’s his personal business, right? But why are you coming here like this without permission……”

“I also want to bring Prince Cheon Yu-su out of there.”

The answer came not from Cheon Myeong-myeong, but from Jang Dong-su.

At that voice, Cheonmuin looked at Jang Dongsu with a puzzled look.

“you also……?”

“yes.”

“Is there something I don’t know?”

Since even Jang Dong-soo was talking like that, even Cheon Mu-in couldn’t help but notice.

Didn’t he just join here?

Since we still didn’t know much about each other, I could only guess that there was something going on with Cheon Yu-su.

“My brother was abandoned by his family.”

“……?”

“You and I are in similar situations.”

Then Cheon Myeong-myeong answered.

A similar situation to his own or Cheon Myeong-myeong’s. With just that one sentence, Cheon Mu-in could easily imagine how Cheon Yu-su was being treated by the family.

“I don’t know why you came looking for my brother, but I feel very uncomfortable that you have treated me like a non-existent person in the family and now you are looking for me.”

“…….”

“How is that any different from a tool?”

Currently, Cheon Yu-su is showing quite an active performance in the competition.

That would be a completely unexpected result for the dark side.

When he thought he was useless, he pretended to be a complete stranger, but when he saw that he seemed a little useful, he looked for Cheon Yu-su? Cheon Myeong-myeong felt extremely uncomfortable with that fact now.

“…Oh, I know that feeling very well.”

Soon, Cheonmuin also muttered the same thing with a different look in his eyes.

Treated like a tool. Even the common man has experienced that painfully.

Although he had already escaped that life, Cheon Mu-in also felt very upset when he found out that Cheon Yu-su was living that kind of life now.

“What are you doing, Myung-myeong? Why don’t you hurry and leave?”

Now, as if nothing had happened, Cheonmuin spoke first.

Cheon Myeong-myeong smiled faintly at the sight, then returned with sharp eyes and started walking again.

‘Here it is.’

After a while, Cheon Myeong-myeong arrived in front of the room where Cheon Yu-su was heading.

Although he could have sent a brief message from outside, Cheon Myeong-myeong opened the door without hesitation.

Druk-.

Inside the room, the figures of Cheon Yu-su and Yeong So-gak were visible.

The two people’s gazes turned to Cheon Myeong-myeong at the same time, and Cheon Yu-su was surprised by the sudden appearance and called out to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“And, naming?”

“…….”

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at Yeongso-gak without saying a word.

Although he barged in rudely, Cheon Myeong-myeong showed the minimum level of courtesy by holding the lottery ticket.

“My name is Cheon Myeong Myeong.”

“…I am Yeongso-gak, the head of the dark house.”

“You are the master of the shadowy house.”

A moment of silence.

A cold voice came out of Cheon Myeong-myeong’s mouth, making the previous greeting seem meaningless.

“Would you please just leave?”

“…….”

“And don’t ever come to Cheonyusu again.”

It was a warning tone that stood out.

If you refuse, I will not hesitate to fight to the death.

Yeongso-gak was looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong with an expressionless face, but Cheon Yu-su hurriedly got up from his seat and approached Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“Name, why on earth are you doing that?”

“…….”

“I’m fine. So…….”

At that moment, Yeongso-gak also got up from his seat.

And then, slowly, steps approaching Cheon Myeong Myeong.

In a state of tension that seemed like it would explode at any moment, Yeongso-gak slowly approached and soon stopped right in front of Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“…Yu-su has a good younger brother.”

“…….”

“I’ve finished my work, so I’ll go out as you said.”

With those words, Yeongso-gak walked out without any problems.

I never thought you’d leave so easily.

Because he was thinking about seeing blood, Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at Yeong-so-gak, who was stepping back obediently, with a puzzled look.

“…….”

Anyway, if he backed off, it wouldn’t matter.

I may come back to Cheon Yu-su again, but that’s something I’ll have to deal with when I get there.

Cheon Myeong-myeong turned his head again and looked at Cheon Yu-su.

“……?”

When I turned my gaze, Cheon Yu-su was bowing his head.

Cheon Myeong-myeong tilted his head and spoke, as he lowered his head so low that his face could not be seen properly and did not move at all.

“…older brother?”

“…Hehehe.”

“……?”

“You came for me? I’m touched.”

Soon, Cheon Yu-su raised his head.

He was crying with his head down, and snot was running from his nose.

Cheon Myeong-myeong frowned slightly at the sight, and Cheon Yu-su suddenly opened his arms and ran towards Cheon Myeong-myeong to hug him.

“denomination!”

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s fist was aimed at Cheon Yu-su’s face.

Because of that, Cheon Yu-su flies away and falls to the ground.

Since he had swung his fist instinctively, Cheon Myeong-myeong realized that he had swung his fist only after seeing Cheon Yu-su fall to the ground.

“……?”

But soon, Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at his fist as if he was puzzled.

That feeling when you just swung your fist… … . Is it just my own illusion?

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su’s voice was heard from the front.

“Why are you hitting me again!”

“…….”

“That’s too much. I was just moved and did it…….”

Cheon Yu-su covered his swollen cheek with one hand and argued.

Cheon Myeong-myeong stares at the sight without saying a word.

Was that just a simple delusion on his part? Cheon Myeong-myeong quickly came to that conclusion.
