en a small amount of money when they are poor.

Seol-Hwi could now understand it.

He turned his teacup upside down, crossed his chopsticks, and waited for a while.

How long was it?

Haran’s gaze shifted to the old woman who suddenly appeared.
The old woman stood next to Seol-Hwi with a stick, and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Follow me.”

“…Ah!” Haran couldn’t help gasping.

The branch sect leader, the one whom Haran could have never met, now wanted to see Seol-Hwi.

“You, stay seated.”

Haran nodded at the old woman’s words.

A meeting with the sect leader.

Haran had no intention of going with them.

After exiting the restaurant, and walking along the side road, they entered a splendid building.

They were greeted with the sight of an artificial pond and a running water fountain.

Being able to create a pond like this indoors was quite amazing.
Seol-Hwi became curious about the person with such a luxurious sense of interior decoration.

“You’re here?”

The man turned around.
Surprisingly, he was young.

It was shocking for Seol-Hwi, who always saw sect leaders and branch leaders as old.

“I understand.
Everyone is quite confused when they meet me for the first time.”

A smile could be seen on the face of the handsome man.

In fact, he might even be more handsome than the Earth Demon.
He was beautiful, and gave off a calming aura.

“If one is a leader at a young age, shouldn’t they have their own order and weapons?”

“…”

“Come, have a seat.”

The young man guided Seol-Hwi to the table next to the pond.

As soon as Seol-Hwi sat down, he was asked, “Are you the person?”

“Why do you think that?”

“Even when we try to research, nothing comes out…” He paused and continued.

“The only information we have is that you came here by a horse-drawn carriage.
And nothing more.”

“…?”

“In this case, I usually take a slightly different method of investigation.
Rather than focus on where you came from, it was on figuring out what you did here.”

“And? How did that turn out?”

“I’ve heard information that you dealt with the red light district boss Chang Sik.
It was apparently to save Haran, but it must have been with the intention to meet us.
So the answer I came up with is this.”

“This?”

“Depending on what you ask me… I think I might know where you come from.”

“Oh.”

Seol-Hwi rubbed his chin.

This was fun!

Clearly, this man had all the information from this area on hand.

“Then tell me.”

Since his opponent came forward like this, Seol-Hwi thought that there was no need to drag this out.

“Do you know a person named Sang Cheon-jang around Geum Man-jung?”

“…?!”

Instantly, his eyes fluttered.
His face was rigid.

It was a natural reaction.

After all, in the Central Plains, the name of the Demonic Sect can’t be taken lightly.

“No, you…”

“Whatever it is you’re thinking, you’re right.”

The young man had difficulty managing his expressions.
And it’s probably not just because he was facing someone from the Demonic Sect.

A Demonic Sect member asking for information about another Demonic Sect member.

In other words, the man assumed that there was a struggle for power within the Demonic Sect.
So he looked even more confused.

“It’s embarrassing.
To say this from my mouth might come out…like an internal struggle exists within the sect…”

Seol-Hwi felt the need to capitalize on the situation, to get what he wanted.

“But the risk is great.
The cost will be great too.
Geum Man-jung is from our side.”

“…”

The young man was silent, but Seol-Hwi knew.

The silence right now wasn’t just that.
Whether he liked it or not, he was already in the midst of the Demonic Sect’s issues.

Depending on what the young man chooses, his fate will change completely.

“Haha…I always have good luck with such things.” The young man smiled, but Seol-Hwi knew that it wasn’t genuine.
“Can I ask you one thing?”

“Sure.”

“How much do you know?”

Seol-Hwi understood where this was going.

How much do you know?

It’s the question of “what kind of force are you” within the Demonic Sect.

It also implied that this would be what he thinks about when it comes to helping Seol-Hwi or not.

“Well, as far as what moves Goo Jong-myung’s disciple Lee Gu-myung makes.”

“…?!”

The young man abruptly stood up.
It must have been hard to believe because he kept staring at Seol-Hwi.

“W…who are you?” He asked with a stiff face.

His tone had changed to a more respectful one than before.

Well, this was bound to happen.
To mention the elder of Mount Hua was no different from saying he was no ordinary member of the sect.

“Let’s just call me a…pursuer.”

Goo Jong-myung’s disciple Lee Gu-myung.
And the plot of that disciple to take the place of the Blue Dragon Sect leader.

Seol-Hwi will be able to know what relationship they had with Sang Cheon-jang.

“So, what do you think? Would you like to work with me?”

The first person Seol-Hwi decided to recruit for his purpose was the Lower District Sect branch leader in front of him.
