Su Yeongseong's gaze turned to the fallen man.
He was still unable to move a single finger because he was poisoned, and Su Yeongseong looked at Jo Seokjin again and said.
"Would you explain what this is all about?"
"Before that, don't you have sothing to explain first?"
"...?"
"Cheon Myeong, what kind of trick did you play on that person?"
"Ah, so that's what it was?"
Su Yeongseong said and nodded his head as if he understood.
And he said to Jo Seokjin, still maintaining a smile on his lips.
"You seem to be dissatisfied that I was designated as Young Master Cheon Myeong's opponent."
"Dissatisfied?"
That was natural.
But looking at Su Yeongseong, who was feigning ignorance as if he knew nothing, Jo Seokjin's anger flared up even more.
"The opponent for the Young Master was originally ."
"That's strange. The right to decide the opponent should be with Young Master Cheon Myeong, not you."
"I obtained that right through negotiation! But you dare to snatch it at the last minute like a rat?"
"Ah, I heard that you had t with Young Master Cheon Myeong."
Su Yeongseong, who was still speaking with a calm smile.
Looking at such an opponent, his own mood would only worsen if he were to talk for a long ti.
Jo Seokjin decided to get straight to the point.
"Hand it over."
"What are you telling to hand over?"
"I an, hand over the position of the Demonic Position Battle to ."
"You're joking too much."
Thump-.
"Does my word sound like a joke to you?"
At so point, Jo Seokjin's sword was pointing at Su Yeongseong.
If a sword were pointing at one's neck, anyone's complexion would change a little, but Su Yeongseong was still smiling as if he were relaxed.
"The opponent for the Demonic Position Battle has already been decided as . So how can I change that?"
"It's not that there's no way."
"..."
"You go to the Leader yourself and say that you will withdraw from the Demonic Position Battle. Or it would be okay to say that you will surrender."
Then Cheon Myeong would choose him.
Of course, the act of trying to change the words that had already been declared from the Leader's mouth might not be easily forgiven, but that was not for him to think about.
"..."
At that mont, the smile disappeared from Su Yeongseong's face for the first ti since he had appeared.
Could it be because he had been smiling continuously?
Even though only the smile had disappeared, a coldness was exuding from Su Yeongseong's face.
"If I say I don't want to, what will you do?"
"I'll kill you."
"? Have you forgotten the Leader's words?"
"When did I say I would kill you?"
Jo Seokjin said and lowered the sword that was pointing at Su Yeongseong.
"The ones who will be killed are the guys in this place."
"..."
"If I kill the people of your family, my anger will be relieved to so extent."
"If that happens, a full-scale war between the Jeonsu Family and the Snake Jo Family will begin. Does that not matter?"
"It doesn't matter."
Although he said this, in fact, it was not that it didn't matter.
However, in order to win this kind of a battle of wills, one sotis had to show this kind of guts.
Since Jo Seokjin knew that fact well, he was now bluffing, which was not a bluff.
'Now, how will he co out?'
It would be good if he were to back down and do as he wished, but Jo Seokjin could not properly grasp Su Yeongseong's inner thoughts.
So Jo Seokjin was waiting for Su Yeongseong's reaction, hoping that he would reveal his inner thoughts a little more.
"I have no choice."
Saying that, Su Yeongseong, who was drawing his sword.
Rather, it was good.
If Su Yeongseong were to choose to fight him here, that would be a favorable situation for him.
'The one who broke the rule first was you.'
So he would also have a justification to fight Su Yeongseong.
But still, since the fact that they had broken the rule would be the sa for him and Su Yeongseong, neither of them would be able to avoid punishnt, but since Su Yeongseong had swung his sword first, the intensity of his punishnt would be higher.
Just with that, he might be disqualified from the Demonic Position Battle, which would be in a few days.
'Then I still have a chance.'
If the Demonic Position Battle were to be canceled due to Su Yeongseong's disqualification, Cheon Myeong would have to decide on an opponent again.
Then he would never be deprived of it.
Although he didn't know what trick Su Yeongseong had used to change Cheon Myeong's mind, he would offer a better condition than that and make Cheon Myeong designate him.
This was what Jo Seokjin had been aiming for since he had co here.
'Now, swing your sword at .'
Thinking so, Jo Seokjin stared at the sword that Su Yeongseong had drawn.
Whoosh-.
Su Yeongseong swung the sword he had drawn.
However, the direction of the sword was not to the front but to the bottom, and Jo Seokjin's two eyes widened as he saw the blood that was scattered at his feet.
"Keoheok-!"
A handful of blood poured out of the mouth of the man who was lying on the floor.
And at so point, a large sword wound had appeared on the man's back, and the sword that Su Yeongseong was holding was covered with blood.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't finish you off at once."
Su Yeongseong said as if it were nothing and plunged his sword into the man's chest.
At that mont, blood splattered in all directions again, and the man did not even move a single inch as if his breath had been cut off.
"You... why did you kill that guy?"
After a brief silence, Jo Seokjin asked as if he could not understand.
Then, Su Yeongseong looked up at Jo Seokjin with a blood-stained face and said.
"Why are you asking?"
"The guy you killed is a person of the Jeonsu Family!"
"That's right. But what's the problem?"
That expression is sincere.
As Su Yeongseong asked back with such an expression, Jo Seokjin rather felt as if he were the strange one.
"Didn't you also try to kill this person?"
"That's true, but..."
What Jo Seokjin could not understand was Su Yeongseong's attitude of killing a person of his own family so casually.
Of course, Jo Seokjin also used the people of his family like tools.
He used them like tools and then threw them away when they were no longer useful. But he did not kill a person of his family just like that, as if he were picking a flower on the street, like that appearance just now.
"...The guy could have been saved if he had taken the antidote I have within half an hour."
"But you would have told to withdraw from the Demonic Position Battle as a condition for handing over the antidote, right?"
"..."
"So I killed him. And it seed that there would be many problems if this person were to die at your hands."
Saying that, Su Yeongseong got up, pulling his sword from the man's chest.
"Wouldn't there be a problem if the news that you, the young master of the Snake Jo Family, had killed a person of the Jeonsu Family were to enter my family?"
"..."
"But it doesn't seem like you will back down like this... so I thought of a good idea."
Whoosh-.
Saying that, Su Yeongseong threw the sword he was holding.
The sword flew at a high speed towards the chest of one of the people standing behind, and the person who was hit by the sword died on the spot and fell back.
"..."
At Su Yeongseong's such action, all the people there couldn't help but have their eyes widened.
Why on earth was Su Yeongseong, the young master of the Jeonsu Family, throwing his sword at a person of his own family?
Although it was unavoidable for the man who had been killed before because of the poison, this ti, the case was different.
Thump- thump-.
Su Yeongseong walked towards the person who had just been hit by the sword he had thrown and had collapsed.
And he said to Jo Seokjin, pulling out the sword that was stuck in his chest.
"How many more people do I have to kill for your anger to be relieved?"
"...Are you serious?"
"Of course, I'm serious."
At so point, a smile had appeared on Su Yeongseong's lips again.
"Didn't you say it yourself? That your anger would be relieved if I killed the people of my family."
"..."
"So I am killing them for you. If you were to kill them, an unnecessary dispute would arise between my family and the Snake Jo Family."
"You are..."
"Wouldn't I also be in trouble if such a problem were to arise before an important ti?"
Jo Seokjin stopped his words and closed his mouth.
That guy is crazy.
No, he might have noticed his bluff and was pretending to be crazy, but at least Jo Seokjin didn't think he could kill the people of the Snake Jo Family in that way like Su Yeongseong had just done.
"How many do I have to kill?"
"..."
"You're not saying anything. Then I will take it as a aning to continue killing."
Su Yeongseong said and looked at the people standing behind.
Su Yeongseong, who was looking at them with eyes full of madness.
Although he was actually smiling, since he was smiling so calmly with a blood-stained sword, it was even more eerie.
A madman.
Although they didn't know what Su Yeongseong was crazy about, everyone who was watching this scene could tell that he was not in his right mind.
"Y-young Master! Please stop!"
At that mont, a woman from among the people ca forward and pleaded.
"We are people who have sworn allegiance to the Jeonsu Family! So why are you trying to kill us so aninglessly!"
"It's not aningless."
"N-not aningless..."
"Your lives will calm that person's anger. Then he will be satisfied and back down like this."
Su Yeongseong said and raised his sword.
"This is just a sacrifice to prevent a dispute between the Jeonsu Family and the Snake Jo Family."
"S-sacrifice..."
"Yes, a sacrifice. Just a small, small sacrifice for the greater good."
At so point, Su Yeongseong's figure appeared in front of the woman.
The woman looked at Su Yeongseong, who was standing with a sword pointing at her, with a pale face, and Su Yeongseong said, still smiling.
"You are a brave person."
"Y-young Master..."
"So you can be sacrificed willingly, right?"
"Please..."
The answer to the woman's desperate voice was not heard.
Su Yeongseong, who was bringing down his sword on the woman's head without hesitation.
The woman confird that and closed her eyes.
"...?"
However, even though ti passed, she did not feel any pain in her body, and the woman opened her eyes cautiously with a puzzled face.
"..."
Soone was standing in front of the woman.
At so point, a person had co between the woman and Su Yeongseong and was glaring at Su Yeongseong without a word, it was Jo Seokjin.
Since Jo Seokjin had suddenly intervened, Su Yeongseong had stopped the sword he was bringing down in the middle, and Su Yeongseong said with a puzzled face.
"Isn't it dangerous if you suddenly intervene?"
"..."
"Now, step aside. Hurry up?"
"...I'm also trash, but you were more of a trash."
Jo Seokjin said and glanced at the people behind him.
To be honest, it didn't really matter to him even if all those people died.
But what he disliked more than anything else was that Su Yeongseong was saying that the reason why he was killing those people was as if it were his fault.
The one who was killing was Su Yeongseong, but all the bla was directed at him.
If all of them were to die like this, he would surely not be able to erase the guilt later.
It was possible that the Jeonsu Family might pick a fight with the Snake Jo Family because of this.
Whip-.
Thinking so, Jo Seokjin turned his head to the front again.
He could not just watch them die as if it were because of him, even though he had not actually killed them.
'I'm also soft.'
That he was not cold and crazy enough to do sothing about this guy.
Jo Seokjin thought that that was the reason for his defeat.
"Stop."
"Why? Didn't you say it? That I have to kill them for your anger to subside."
"That's enough. You go to the Demonic Position Battle."
"..."
Swish-.
Su Yeongseong, who was sheathing his sword. And he said, maintaining a smile.
"Is that so? It's a relief that there are no more sacrifices."
"..."
Looking at him, many things ca to Jo Seokjin's mind, but he decided not to say anything more.
Su Yeongseong was more of a guy than he had thought.
So in this situation, there was nothing to be gained by saying anything more.
Thump- thump-.
Leaving the people who had beco silent behind, Jo Seokjin passed through the main gate and walked out.
'...I'm unlucky.'
To think that he had designated such a guy as his opponent.
Although he had thought that he would have no chance in the future, after grasping what kind of person Su Yeongseong was to so extent, he could know for sure.
"..."
On the day of the Heavenly Demon Festival.
It seed that only the image of Cheon Myeong, who was lying down, bleeding in a cruel state, ca to Jo Seokjin's mind.
