Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 432

“Hehehe.”

In the Galaxy’s reception room, a man sat with his legs propped up on the table, humming a tune. It was none other than Yoo Do-hyung, the disciple of the Beggars’ Sect and former branch leader of the Beggars’ Sect’s South Korea branch.

Those standing there frowned at his arrogant attitude. No one had ever displayed such arrogance in the Galaxy.

However, there was a reason why they didn’t stop Yoo Do-hyung.

-He is a guest of the Blood Demon.

They knew that Yoo Do-hyung was Lee Ro-woon’s guest. The executives of the Galaxy and the Blood Cult already knew.

-Black Dog Yoo Do-hyung is a poison of the Beggars’ Sect planted by the Blood Demon.

That Yoo Do-hyung was Lee Ro-woon’s man, and that the two had a close relationship.

Squeak.

The door opened, and someone entered. Only then did Black Dog lower his legs from the table and change his posture. However, his arrogant expression remained the same.

“Who might this be?” Black Dog said with a smirk.

“Black Lion King, no…” The one who entered was Ha Sae-min.

“Aren’t you the Black King?” Ha Sae-min sat facing Black Dog.

“Black Dog,” Ha Sae-min’s low voice seemed to make the air shrink.

“No,” Ha Sae-min changed his gaze again and said, “Black Mutt.”

“…….”

Only then did the smile disappear from Yoo Do-hyung’s face. What was revealed was a cold murderous intent.

“How dare you.”

Black Mutt, that was what they called him when he was a scruffy mongrel. It was a word that should never be said to him now that he had completely changed.

“What makes you act so recklessly?”

“What makes me?” Yoo Do-hyung said, crossing his legs at Ha Sae-min’s question.

“Is it the Beggars’ Sect?” He was asking if he was acting like that because he trusted the Beggars’ Sect.

Yoo Do-hyung shook his head. “No, no. I trust that person.”

“That person?”

“I owe that person a great debt. It means that person favors me that much. Otherwise, why would they make me a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect?”

At first, he was an existence not even worthy of being called an enemy, but soon he was called by Lee Ro-woon and put to use.

“You and I are in the same boat, so it doesn’t matter if I act arrogant like this.”

“Ha,” Ha Sae-min said, distorting his face.

“I think,” Ha Sae-min said, “that you have betrayed that person.”

This was what the executives of the Galaxy thought. Making Black Dog a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect was part of the plan. However, the problem was after Black Dog became a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect.

“Not only did you fail to send the reports you were supposed to send regularly…” He had unilaterally stopped sending the Beggars’ Sect’s information that he had been sending regularly.

“It has been detected that you have passed on confidential information about the Galaxy to the Beggars’ Sect through connections in South Korea.”

He had passed on information about the Galaxy. As if demanding an explanation, Ha Sae-min closed his mouth.

That’s what everyone thought. From the beginning, the Beggars’ Sect’s members were those with such tendencies. Those who considered betrayal to be natural and lived for their own gain. The thugs of the back alleys.

-Yoo Do-hyung.

This man’s origins were no different, and his actions had shown it. So.

“Depending on your answer…” Kwaaaah-! Ha Sae-min’s energy exploded.

“You may be executed by me here without ever seeing that person.”

“…….”

The immense energy. The Black King was more than what Yoo Do-hyung had known in the past. ‘He’s become a monster.’ He had grown a lot as a player after becoming a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect, but he was nowhere near the growth that Ha Sae-min had achieved.

“Ha,” Yoo Do-hyung let out a hollow breath and said, “Why would someone who knows better do this, Black King?”

Yoo Do-hyung, who had changed his posture, said, clasping his hands together. “It’s something I have to do to deceive the Beggar King. Isn’t that obvious? It’s called a regular report, but what if I get caught?”

Yoo Do-hyung said, “I passed on information about the Galaxy because I needed to achieve something. That’s something that person would have allowed.”

“…….”

“Black King,” Yoo Do-hyung frowned and said, “You don’t need to test me anymore. The education ends here. If not…” He seemed to have heard a tsk sound.

“Are you going to start a war with the Beggars’ Sect?”

“That sounds like you’re confessing that you’re a traitor.”

“That’s not it. If I, as a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect, come to the Galaxy and die, a war will naturally break out. The Beggar King would want that too.”

“Do you think we’re afraid of the Beggars’ Sect?”

Yoo Do-hyung frowned even more. “Why are you being like this? Someone who knows better.”

Only then.

“Hmm,” Ha Sae-min’s expression relaxed. It was as Yoo Do-hyung had said. This was a kind of test, an experiment to see Yoo Do-hyung’s thoughts and his reactions, the subtle differences, and whether he was being used by the Beggars’ Sect even if he wasn’t a traitor.

“That’s enough,” Ha Sae-min got up from his seat. And, “It’s been a while,” a voice was heard from right behind Yoo Do-hyung.

“……!” Yoo Do-hyung’s eyes widened in surprise. There was no sound of the door opening, nor the sound of anyone entering.

“Hah,” He hadn’t even realized that his back had been taken. It was chilling because it meant that if Lee Ro-woon had wanted to kill him, he could have done so easily. However, Yoo Do-hyung’s actions were immediate.

Thump! He immediately got up. “I greet my master,” He prostrated himself completely towards Lee Ro-woon.

* * *

“As you said, I became a disciple of the Beggars’ Sect and gained his trust. The Beggar King is a unique person. He doesn’t even discriminate against warriors or players.”

The hatred that warriors have for players. The Beggar King, Shin-gae, didn’t even have that.

“Because he alone is special.” The investigation into Shin-gae had been going on for a long time. No, even without an investigation, Shin-gae’s characteristics and his ideology were already well-known. From the fact that he put the character ‘Shin’ in his own title, which was called in the Silver Sea.

“Also…” Yoo Do-hyung constantly poured out words as if to atone for what he had not reported. Also, “Here,” He even handed Ha Sae-min a document summarizing the data he had extracted. It was so much that it made the suspicion and testing of his betrayal seem meaningless.

“Everything…” Yoo Do-hyung sincerely, “Is thanks to my master’s consideration.” He seemed to be grateful to Lee Ro-woon and obedient to him.

“For such a guy to dare call himself a god is just crazy nonsense,” Yoo Do-hyung said, going into a frenzy. “The only one who can be called a god is…”

“That’s enough,” At Lee Ro-woon’s words, Yoo Do-hyung immediately closed his mouth.

“I was going to call you anyway, but there must be a reason why you came in first.” And that reason was, “Is it about the Galaxy?”

“Yes. To be precise, they have been asking for information about my master, the Blood Demon.” Ha Sae-min did not miss the moment when Yoo Do-hyung’s eyes flashed.

“Shin-gae wants to know about the changes in Mount Hua.”

“Since the three pillars of the Silver Sea are Mount Hua, the Beggars’ Sect, and Shaolin, that’s understandable.”

“Among them, the one who caused such a change in Mount Hua.” That was, “They have been asking for information about the Blood Demon, information about the Blood Cult, and information about the Galaxy.” It was a natural thing.

“And they entrusted that to you.”

“Yes. Shin-gae knows that I am from this place, South Korea, where the Galaxy is located, and that I have some kind of relationship with the Blood Demon.”

Shin-gae was already suspicious of the relationship between the Blood Demon and Yoo Do-hyung. It was Lee Ro-woon who had destroyed the Golden Dog, which was the Beggars’ Sect’s source of funds, and it was Black Dog who had recovered that capital and offered it to Shin-gae. A deal.

“So?” At Lee Ro-woon’s words, Yoo Do-hyung swallowed hard. “I hope you don’t misunderstand.” It was because he knew what kind of impact the words he was about to utter would have on him. If things went wrong, ‘I’ll die.’ Everything he had built up until now would be lost in an instant, no, even his life would be lost.

“I want to pass that information on to Shin-gae.”

“What nonsense…” Lee Yong-jin, who had been leaning against the wall, stepped forward and opened his mouth, but Ha Sae-min stopped him. “Shhh.” It meant not to interrupt because he was talking to Lee Ro-woon, and to listen to the end.

“About the Galaxy, about the Blood Cult, and…” Yoo Do-hyung’s eyes flashed again. “The Blood Demon. Please allow me to pass on information about my master to Shin-gae.”

“…….”

“Shin-gae is even thinking of deciding on a successor for the Beggars’ Sect because of this.” Successor was not important to him anyway. However, “That fact is important.” It was important that many others said that the successor of the Beggars’ Sect had been decided.

“I will become the successor of the Beggar King,” Yoo Do-hyung said ambitiously. “And on the day the Beggars’ Sect falls, I will become the Beggar King and offer the Beggars’ Sect to the Blood Demon.”

This was the main point that Yoo Do-hyung wanted to say. Ha Sae-min gestured to Lee Ro-woon. It meant to give him some time to think.

“I will wait forever. Please call me anytime.” Having noticed that, Yoo Do-hyung got up from his seat.

* * *

“It’s ambiguous,” Ha Sae-min opened his mouth first. “There is some truth in Yoo Do-hyung’s words.” A traitor. It was just like a meaningless test, but in fact, inside the Galaxy, they were guessing that Yoo Do-hyung might have truly betrayed them. And that possibility was… ‘Very high.’ As he said, the Beggars’ Sect itself was a group of people who were hard to find loyalty or allegiance. Their own bodies, wealth, and honor. They were the kind of people who would risk their lives for such things and sell even their own parents for them. Now, even though the Beggars’ Sect had immense wealth, unlike in the past when they were called beggars, the reason why they were still called beggar bastards was precisely that. The problem was, “There is no restraint on Yoo Do-hyung.” There was no proper restraint on Yoo Do-hyung. That was to make him a disciple of the Beggar King. The Beggar King, Shin-gae. He might have noticed the restraint on Yoo Do-hyung, and if that happened, all the plans would be ruined, so they decided to do it. Therefore, “We have to trust Yoo Do-hyung himself, but honestly, I’m suspicious.” That was the opinion of Ha Sae-min and the executives of the Galaxy. Also, what Yoo Do-hyung wanted was also a problem.

-I want to know the gate of the Blood King’s Castle.

It was said that Mount Hua had already invaded once, but Mount Hua did not share that information with the Beggars’ Sect. About the gate and location of the Blood King’s Castle. And, -Information on the internal power of the Blood Cult and key figures. Sensitive information. Lastly, -I’m sorry to say this, but… something that could be a weakness of my master. Yoo Do-hyung asked for that.

“Arrogant…” Dang Hwa-young recalled Yoo Do-hyung and bit her lip. “Betrayal, even if you treat him well, he’s just riding the line. Yoo Do-hyung will not lose anything in this matter.” If things succeeded, he would become the successor of the Beggar King. If he failed, he would die, but even so… -If he reports on the close relationship and appeals to his worth. Yoo Do-hyung would survive and become a poison. A poison that would rather target the Galaxy. That was why. In the midst of a complicated situation and a difficult meeting, “What’s important now is the new key,” Lee Ro-woon said, summarizing. “And Shin-gae is the only one who knows the information about that key.” That was what Ha Sae-min had found out. “To be precise…” The place where the information about that key was. “It’s in the Gaeshin Library, which only Shin-gae can enter.”
