Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 427

In front of Igrac.

With Lee Ro-woon’s permission, many people had entered the place.

“For the mighty Hwasan to run away with their tails between their legs!”

He spoke, his face contorted in apparent dismay.

“Hahaha! It’s a shame I didn’t get to see that sight!”

Soon after, he burst into hearty laughter, a bright smile on his face.

At first glance, it seemed as if one could see how much he had hated Hwasan and how much he had waited for this day.

However, if one knew who the target was, the story would be different.

“Indeed, it’s Eunha. Or should I call it the Blood Cult? Haha.”

Jeon Gyeong-il, the president of the Korea Player Association.

A man who praised Hwasan more than anyone else and stood by their side.

A man who maintained his position in the name of Hwasan and oppressed countless people through that name.

He was the one.

“Many things will change from now on.”

It was Jeon Gyeong-il.

Controlling policies and politics from behind the president.

-Will Hwasan stay still?

A man who used Hwasan’s name as if it were his own.

Smirk.

Lee Ro-woon smiled at the sight.

He had decided to accept the past.

Even if it was scarred, he decided to acknowledge that the past was also a part of him.

Jeon Gyeong-il was.

“Jeon Gyeong-il.”

He was one of the main culprits who had stained that past.

“Yes. Please speak.”

A smile spread across Jeon Gyeong-il’s lips.

But in the following moment.

“Do you remember the name Lee Ro-woon?”

Confusion clouded Jeon Gyeong-il’s face.

“Yes. Isn’t it the name of the great Blood Demon?”

The master of the Blood Cult, the master of Eunha.

The Blood Demon.

The fact that his name was Lee Ro-woon was a rumor that had been spreading for some time.

He thought it was unusual.

Its form and meaning seemed different from the names of the residents of Eun [a fictional world].

It was like the name of a resident of Earth, not a resident of Eun.

But it was just a name.

A name that would be meaningless even if one tried to give it deep meaning.

That’s why he had ignored it, but why was that name being mentioned again?

“Doesn’t that name remind you of anything?”

Lee Ro-woon asked again.

“…….”

Jeon Gyeong-il paused for a moment to think.

And then.

“Ah, you’re talking about that guy.”

Jeon Gyeong-il said with a smile on his face.

“Was it Dark… or Dank?”

“It’s Dank.”

At the words of Nam Ho-jeong, the head of the Player Association’s competition branch, who was standing next to him, Jeon Gyeong-il nodded as if he remembered.

“Ah, right. Dank. Lee Ro-woon of Dank.”

Jeon Gyeong-il seemed to have finally remembered.

“But, why that guy…”

A player who had once bothered Jeon Gyeong-il.

However, he was soon caught in Hwasan’s crosshairs, dragged to Hwasan’s corpse disposal site, and was known to have died there.

But, disgustingly, he had survived and was said to be working with Lee Shin-woo, the leader of the Azure Army.

“Ah!”

Lee Ro-woon didn’t say anything, but Jeon Gyeong-il seemed to have realized something.

“You’re bothered by him.”

The atmosphere around them suddenly turned cold, but Jeon Gyeong-il didn’t care.

Rather, he was convinced that this was the right answer.

The fact that the Blood Demon was talking about something that bothered him, that he was being bothered by it…

“That guy who dares to do foolish things with the same name as the Blood Demon.”

Rather, it was the right answer.

Jeon Gyeong-il was not a fool either.

He also knew that Eunha was implementing player-friendly policies and accepting them.

But.

‘There’s no way that’s sincere.’

The reason why Eunha was doing that was to check Hwasan, who already had an overwhelming position at the forefront.

That’s what he had been reported, and that’s what Jeon Gyeong-il thought as well.

It was a natural thing.

‘Those martial artists are like children, full of pride.’

They considered the martial arts they had trained to be the best, and it was their nature to look down on players who were mere hunters.

There were some who felt sorry for the treatment of the players, but Jeon Gyeong-il scoffed at the sight.

Jeon Gyeong-il was a man who knew those with power better than anyone else.

Those with power never look down on the weak.

If they did, it was just pity to prove their own existence, and it was just disgusting hypocrisy.

So, he thought this was the right answer.

The Blood Demon, Lee Ro-woon, was bothered by that upstart who was doing the same things as him with his name.

“I will handle that matter well. It’s about time to clean up the Azure Army too…”

Jeon Gyeong-il, who was opening his mouth with a satisfied smile, froze.

It was because he saw Lee Ro-woon’s expression for the first time.

Languid eyes.

A dry face.

But it was.

“Hah.”

It looked more frightening than ever.

“Jeon Gyeong-il.”

“…Yes?”

“The price I need to ask you for is not now.”

“What do you mean…?”

Jeon Gyeong-il was tense but also had a puzzled look on his face.

“When everything is over, there will be nowhere for you to stand. When you are cornered and try to hang yourself, I will come to find you.”

“What are you talking about right now?”

“So, I’ll let you go nicely for now.”

Jeon Gyeong-il, having grasped the situation.

“Indeed, will that be easy?”

He realized that Lee Ro-woon was hostile to him.

But.

“The Player Association is in my hands.”

Jeon Gyeong-il knew his own value.

And he had endured for this moment.

“No, the entire Republic of Korea is in my hands.”

“…….”

“What if I designate Eunha as a public enemy of the Republic of Korea? What if I make it so that everyone who cooperates with Eunha is not recognized?”

Even if they were martial artists, if they had not yet gained a unique position.

“How will you stand?”

It was possible.

‘If not only Hwasan but also Hainan and everyone else opposes Eunha.’

If the association moved.

“You should think carefully.”

Eunha wouldn’t be able to come forward like this…

It was that moment.

“How long do I have to keep listening?”

“Permission has been granted now.”

Lee Ro-woon’s annoyed words and a voice coming from behind.

“Cough!”

Jeon Gyeong-il was slammed into the ground, groaning.

“What are you doing! Kim San-tae!”

Kim San-tae, the head of the Seoul branch of the Player Association.

He had ambushed Jeon Gyeong-il from behind and knocked him down.

“Thank you for waiting so long. I won’t forget this favor.”

“Kim San-tae!”

“Jeon Gyeong-il. An arrest warrant has been issued for you. The order is that you can be killed if necessary.”

Kim San-tae, who had placed his knee on Jeon Gyeong-il’s back, said.

Jeon Gyeong-il was also a skilled player in the past, but it had been a long time since he had stepped down from the front lines and stopped leveling up.

“Kuh!”

In contrast, Kim San-tae was a man who had never neglected gate raids even in his position as branch manager.

“Ah, of course, I’ll let you go in the middle. So you can escape.”

“What is this… ! Do you think I’ll stay still…!”

“Don’t worry. I won’t chase you. Your identity will be erased, and you’ll have to live as a fugitive for the rest of your life. And when the time comes… you’ll have to pay for the sins you’ve committed.”

“Shut… !”

Jeon Gyeong-il’s mouth closed as he tried to shout.

Kim San-tae’s fist struck the back of Jeon Gyeong-il’s neck, knocking him unconscious.

* * *

The series of disturbances.

It was something that had already been calculated and discussed.

Lee Shin-woo was behind it.

“Thank you.”

Kim San-tae expressed his gratitude once again.

A faint smile spread across his tired face.

He was a member of the Azure Army.

To be precise, he was a liberation soldier cooperating with the Azure Army.

The moment he had been waiting for, having hidden all of his past and become a dog of the association.

“Jeon Gyeong-il has been let go. But he also knows. That there are eyes watching him from behind.”

That was the end of Jeon Gyeong-il, who had sold out the country and the players to maintain his power.

-That guy is a real poison.

Lee Shin-woo had said about Kim San-tae.

-Kim San-tae’s parents were killed by Jeon Gyeong-il. Jeon Gyeong-il seems to have completely forgotten about it, but he doesn’t even know it in his dreams.

In the past, Kim San-tae’s parents had been killed by Jeon Gyeong-il.

-He’s a guy who has endured all the shit under that kind of guy. All for one moment. So use him well.

A man who had licked the shoes and bowed his head under his enemy.

So, he could only be called a poison.

The result was already predetermined.

“How did you move?”

Kim San-tae asked.

The Republic of Korea was practically Jeon Gyeong-il’s.

There was no place where his influence did not reach, and the powerful figures of the Republic of Korea were no different from Jeon Gyeong-il’s dogs.

Even the president, who was supposed to be responsible for governing the country.

Every president who changed every term was Jeon Gyeong-il’s dog.

“What do you mean, how did I move?”

Lee Ro-woon said.

“I’m talking about the dogs of Jeon Gyeong-il, including the president.”

Killing Jeon Gyeong-il was too easy.

But that was only the end of Jeon Gyeong-il.

He had to suffer and tremble in fear even more.

But to do that, it was essential to get rid of all those who were on his side.

“I thought you had some ability, but were you just a fool with only revenge in your heart?”

Lee Ro-woon said.

“They weren’t afraid of Jeon Gyeong-il anyway.”

A voice as if it were natural.

“They were just afraid of Hwasan behind him. I just showed them.”

Lee Ro-woon said.

“That what they should be afraid of now is not Hwasan.”

With a dry face, Lee Ro-woon continued.

“That they also have to pay the price.”

“……!”

At those words, Kim San-tae seemed to have realized something.

Kim San-tae also knew all the words that Lee Ro-woon had said.

But, was it as easy as it sounded?

No.

Absolutely not.

They would think that Hwasan would not collapse even in this situation, and they were held in Jeon Gyeong-il’s clutches.

‘They would even die…’

Yes, that was it.

“Looks like you’ve noticed.”

Death.

That was the only way to separate them from Jeon Gyeong-il.

So, his dogs with leashes, the powerful figures.

‘They died?’

If so, what were those who had given permission now?

Also, their deaths were not being reported anywhere.

“…….”

Kim San-tae felt dizzy.

That was not the important thing.

The existence in front of him, that he had erased the powerful figures as he pleased and put someone else in their place.

This was worse than what Hwasan had done, and it was too dangerous.

“Why do you have that expression?”

Looking at that face, Lee Ro-woon recalled.

-So, he’s useful.

Lee Shin-woo’s words.

-He didn’t join the liberation army with any purpose. Only one.

And Kim San-tae said.

“No. There’s no problem.”

-Because he only moves for revenge.

This was better than a flimsy sense of justice or a hypocrite.

“When the work is done, everything will go back to normal. Then there will be no more interference.”

“That doesn’t matter.”

“And.”

Lee Ro-woon stood up and scanned his surroundings.

This place was Asgard, an SS-class gate, but now it had become a newly opened dungeon.

However, it was different from the dungeons before.

A huge scale, this land was still growing and being restored.

“We need to fill the vacant position of the association president.”

This land.

“Can you do it?”

It would become a new land of opportunity and create a huge wave.

And at the forefront of that.

Thud.

The flag of Eunha was planted.

“Yes. I have to pay the price too.”
