The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns Chapter 190 : Seocheon (2)

Jin Jaseong looked at Seocheon with trembling eyes.

The dark blue energy flowing from Seocheon's body.

A vast amount of energy, visible even to the naked eye, filled the room.

'...He resembles him.'

Looking at that, Jin Jaseong was reminded of soone.

Cheon Myeong.

When he had fought with his opponent in the ranking match, Jin Jaseong thought that the red energy flowing from Cheon Myeong's body and Seocheon's appearance now were similar.

"..."

Of course, in terms of appearance, Cheon Myeong's energy and Seocheon's energy could be said to be quite different.

Even if you just looked at the visible color, the two energies were clearly different.

However, rather than what was visible on the outside, the feeling that was felt from the energy when it was in front of his eyes was quite similar.

'The Martial Alliance... it's not that.'

Before coming here, Jin Jaseong had thought that the force behind Seocheon might be the Martial Alliance.

Because when he thought of a place that even the Maryongjin family could not easily handle, that place ca to mind first.

However, seeing that, he could be almost certain that the place where Seocheon belonged was not the Martial Alliance.

Because a guy belonging to the Martial Alliance would not emit such a bone-chilling demonic energy.

Of course, although he could not know for sure, if he were to classify Seocheon's energy in a large fra, he had the thought that it was quite close to the Demonic Cult.

'A force to which a person who can emit this much demonic energy belongs... where on earth is it?'

Although more clues had co out, the question about Seocheon's identity only grew larger.

Does his father know in detail about the force to which Seocheon belongs?

Although he had not asked about it in detail until now, since he was facing Seocheon directly like this, he couldn't help but naturally have the thought that he wanted to know about it.

"Yes, now it seems you have an expression that fits the situation."

"..."

"Don't smile. I didn't call you to joke around."

Seocheon said that, withdrawing his energy.

Jin Jaseong's face, which had soon hardened.

Even if Seocheon had not spoken in that way, it did not seem that a smile would co out of Jin Jaseong's face anymore.

"...If it's not rude, may I ask why you called ?"

"What kind of case is it to say that it's rude after already asking?"

"That is..."

Jin Jaseong was flustered for a mont.

Could it be that Seocheon would show his anger again as before because of his words?

Since this was the first ti he had been so mindful of soone's mood, Jin Jaseong even had the thought that this situation was very unfamiliar and scary.

"No, it's okay."

"..."

"Because I was about to bring that up anyway."

If so, then why did he act so serious?

Although Seocheon's words and actions had been annoying since a while ago, rather than that, seeing himself being inwardly relieved at those words, Jin Jaseong beca angry.

Because it seed that his and Seocheon's positions had been naturally established.

It was not that he had intended it, but it had already been established at the point of his awareness.

Jin Jaseong hated that fact more than anything else.

"Cheon Myeong."

"..."

"Recently, it seems that I keep hearing that guy's na."

Seocheon said that and stared at Jin Jaseong with a rather delinquent posture.

Although this situation was unpleasant, he could not act rashly towards Seocheon.

After quickly thinking of an answer, Jin Jaseong opened his mouth.

"I know well what you are worried about."

"..."

"Of course, although Cheon Myeong's montum is great recently, before that, we will use so ans to..."

"You're misunderstanding sothing."

"...?"

"I don't worry about anything."

As Seocheon said that, Jin Jaseong was at a loss for words again.

To Jin Jaseong, who was like that, Seocheon continued to speak.

"To be blunt, even if that guy, Cheon Myeong, becos the Young Leader, it has nothing to do with ."

"..."

"The one whose ass is on fire is not , but you and the Maryongjin family."

Jin Jaseong could not understand those words.

Although he did not know exactly what Seocheon's position was, weren't the Maryongjin family and Seocheon holding hands now?

The Maryongjin family swallowing the current Demonic Cult.

That was what that side wanted, and Jin Jaseong had known that until now.

"..."

But those words of Seocheon sounded as if it had nothing to do with him, no matter what the Maryongjin family did.

In order for the Maryongjin family to surely swallow the Demonic Cult, he would have to beco the Young Leader first.

Since Seocheon was now speaking as if it didn't matter if Cheon Myeong beca the Young Leader, there was no way for Jin Jaseong to know what on earth that side wanted.

"What you want... wasn't it for a person from the Maryongjin family to beco the next leader?"

"Half right, half wrong."

"...?"

"You becoming the Young Leader. Since I thought that that was the fastest way, this side also told you to do so."

Did that an... that there was sothing that that side truly wanted?

Jin Jaseong had that question for a mont.

What that was, probably even his father did not know.

If he had known, he would have already told him about it.

"But... it seems you have no intention of becoming the Young Leader."

"Pardon?"

"Am I wrong? If not, you wouldn't have let a guy nad Cheon Myeong run wild like this."

"..."

As Seocheon said that, Jin Jaseong could not say anything.

Cheon Myeong, whose montum was growing day by day.

Although he had also tried to kill Cheon Myeong using the Jeonsu family, that plan had already ended in failure.

However, since he had no intention of doing nothing as Seocheon had said, Jin Jaseong said, as if to refute slightly, although it was small.

"...I will beco the Young Leader. And furthermore, I will place this cult under ."

"Are you telling to believe that after seeing this ss?"

"..."

"If you continue to show such insignificant results, I can't help it."

Can't help it?

Jin Jaseong looked at Seocheon with slightly widened eyes.

"Since I have found out that the Maryongjin family is useless to us, there is no need to maintain this relationship anymore."

"...!"

"If it becos useless, you throw away what you have and find sothing new. That would be the natural flow."

Don't tell ... is he really saying that?

Although the Maryongjin family might not need Seocheon, the Maryongjin family needed Seocheon.

'No, I can't ruin everything in this place!'

Although Jin Jaseong did not know much about Seocheon, he knew that the reason why the Maryongjin family's montum had risen recently was because of the help from Seocheon's side.

If it weren't for Seocheon's help, the Maryongjin family would not have been able to show this much growth.

No, to be precise, because of the help of the force to which Seocheon belonged, the Maryongjin family was able to beco the strongest among the Five Great Demonic Families.

"Listen carefully. You must never act rudely in front of that person."

At that mont, it seed as if his father's words were echoing in Jin Jaseong's ears again.

What would happen if the relationship with Seocheon were to be cut off like this?

Jin Jaseong felt as if he could not bear to see his father's face.

No, before that, the fact that the growth of the Maryongjin family would be blocked because of him would be more painful.

Of course, although the Maryongjin family would not collapse in an instant just because the help from that side had suddenly disappeared.

If Seocheon were to withdraw his hand at this ti, it seed that the Maryongjin family would never be able to stand at the top of the Demonic Cult.

'And that's not all. If that side were to attach itself to another place...'

The other four places besides the Maryongjin family.

No, now it's three.

Anyway, if Seocheon were to attach himself to one of them, then just as the Maryongjin family had been doing until now, wouldn't that family's power grow rapidly?

That much, the group to which Seocheon belonged had that much influence.

"..."

A family other than the Maryongjin family should not stand at the top.

Of course, the sa went for Cheon Myeong.

As he had also said to Seocheon earlier, the one to beco the next leader must be the Maryongjin family. That is, himself.

"Please wait... a little."

"..."

"If you wait a little, I will surely be able to show you a result that you will be satisfied with."

"It seems I've waited a lot already. How much longer do you want to wait?"

As expected, a blunt answer ca out of Seocheon's mouth.

Thud-

It was then.

Jin Jaseong, who suddenly knelt down to Seocheon.

Although this was the first ti in his life that he had knelt down to soone, Jin Jaseong's two knees easily touched the floor, so much so that it seed empty.

"What are you doing?"

Seocheon asked, looking down at Jin Jaseong.

Then, Jin Jaseong forcibly swallowed the humiliation that was welling up and said.

"...I beg you."

"..."

"I will surely prove that I am useful... so please watch a little longer."

At the sa ti as those words, Jin Jaseong bowed his head so much that his forehead touched the floor.

This was also the first ti he had done this in his life.

Perhaps because he had already knelt down, he was able to bow his head without much difficulty.

"..."

Seocheon looked down at Jin Jaseong without a word for quite a long ti.

At that mont, a smile appeared on Seocheon's lips.

As if he were enjoying this situation, Seocheon said, approaching Jin Jaseong with a playful smile.

"Get up. Get up."

"..."

"Is it even proper for the young master of the Maryongjin family, the Heavenly Jade Dragon, to be kneeling on a floor like this?"

Seocheon said that and grabbed Jin Jaseong's shoulder and helped him up.

Accordingly, Jin Jaseong, who stood up from his seat.

Compared to the smiling Seocheon, Jin Jaseong's face, whose bangs were disheveled, seed to be forcibly hiding his expression.

"It seems I was a little too harsh with my joke."

"..."

"I had said that because I was curious about what kind of person the young master of the Maryongjin family was. I didn't think you would go this far."

Although Seocheon said that, Jin Jaseong still did not open his mouth.

A joke?

Jin Jaseong did not believe those words that were heard on the outside.

Although he didn't know what that guy had wanted, if he hadn't done this, Seocheon would surely have shown a different attitude from now.

A frog dies from a stone thrown into a pond as a joke.

Seocheon was the one who threw the stone. He was the frog that was hit by the stone.

Fortunately, it seed that the stone had missed.

"Seeing that just now, the leader of this cult will also be satisfied."

"...Leader?"

"Ah, don't mind it."

"..."

"Anyway, I will report that the Maryongjin family is also proceeding with the matter seriously, so be at ease."

Did that an... that he would let it go this ti?

Hearing those words, Jin Jaseong felt a sense of relief without realizing it.

However.

"But if you are too at ease... it won't do, right?"

"..."

"It is true that Cheon Myeong's growth is a thorn in our side. Before that thorn grows bigger and gets stuck so deep that it can't be pulled out, it would be good for the Maryongjin family to do sothing."

"...I have clearly understood what you an."

As Jin Jaseong answered, Seocheon smiled again and lightly touched Jin Jaseong's shoulder.

An action that looked like a joke to a close friend.

Since the two's ages looked similar, it looked even more so on the outside.

However, Jin Jaseong's face, which could not smile, seed to be clearly showing that the two were not friends.

"Then I will be going."

"..."

"Tell the family head that I'm leaving instead."

"...I understand."

Seocheon left the room.

Accordingly, Jin Jaseong, who was left alone in the room.

Why Seocheon had wanted to et him today, Jin Jaseong now seed to be able to understand well.

Grind-

The past actions that flashed through his mind.

As the humiliation he had felt from Seocheon ca to mind, Jin Jaseong's face couldn't help but change rapidly.

However, rather than being angry at that, he was thinking about what he should do in the future without realizing it.

And Jin Jaseong could see that he was now very rational, so much so that he himself was surprised.

'...Is it ti to step forward directly now?'

Until now, he had been acting cautiously.

However, as the situation beca urgent, shouldn't he produce a result as soon as possible?

The result that that side wanted was Cheon Myeong's death.

Since he had said that to him directly in this place just now, he would have to act with that in focus from now on.

"I have no grudge, but... it seems we cannot coexist."

A rising sun cos into view no matter what.

Cheon Myeong had already risen too much.

So shouldn't he fall now?

For the leap of the Maryongjin family. For his own leap. And... even to repay the humiliation he had just felt from Seocheon.

Jin Jaseong hardened his resolve with a coldly sunken gaze.
