[Tribe Heavenly Demon Church (4)]
“Himura award. “What are you talking about for so long with your friend?”
As soon as Daein came out of the balcony, Genji sneaked up to him. The great man scolded him.
“Are you going to follow me to the bathroom?”
“Hehe…”
Genji chuckled as if he had no pride. The other warriors looked at Genji with disdain.
At that time, the music flowing in the banquet hall stopped. And the warriors who were enjoying the banquet split to the left and right to create a path.
On that path, a man walked towards Daein with a confident step.
Tall and somewhat skinny. The slitted eyes and thin lips gave an idea of his personality.
“It’s a guy named Tamashi.”
Genji whispered into Daein’s ear.
“He’s one of the executives of our tribe. He says he thinks he’s the lord when the lord is not around.”
Tamashi was a warrior who was the lord’s confidant and led the largest faction among the officials.
As the banquet came to an end and there was no sign of the lord appearing, Tamashii, the tribe’s second-in-command, took action.
Genji continued to whisper in the great man’s ear.
“He will try to recruit Himura-san and bring him into his faction.”
“Tamashi… I’ve heard of this name.”
“Himura-san. Even if you succeed, you can’t forget me. huh?”
Tamashi walked in front of the two and frowned. He looked at Genji like he was looking at a bug.
“Genji. “You still look like a plump pig.”
Genji rubbed his palms and bowed.
“lol. “I’m on a diet of my own…”
“Get away from me because it stinks.”
“…yes. sorry.”
Genji bowed deeply, then turned his heavy body and walked away. The warriors’ laughter followed suit.
The great man stared at Genji’s back and then turned his head back to Tamashii.
Tamashi introduced himself with an arrogant expression.
“My name is Iori Tamashi. Himura Kenshin. “That’s not your real name, is it?”
“I have my own circumstances.”
“It looks like there was an accident somewhere, right? “Looking at the beautiful women I brought with me, I can tell what an accident it was.”
At that moment, Tamashi’s eyes drew a disgusting half-moon.
“I also have a taste for the spirit world. “You’re saying you can’t stand even if you’re over 13?”
As Tamashi chuckled, the warriors in his faction laughed together. That number was almost half of the warriors in the banquet hall.
Tamashi, showing off his power, pointed to the side with his chin.
“Follow me. “Let’s talk quietly.”
“…….”
The great man obediently followed behind him. Genji watched from afar.
Tamashi took Daein to his room and told him to sit down.
“Sit there.”
“…….”
It was already an order as if he was a superior, but the great man sat down without showing any special expression and looked around.
Inside the room, four armed warriors and 10 soldiers armed with firearms were waiting.
And the soundproofing was so perfect that even if a gunfight broke out inside the room, you couldn’t hear it from outside.
Daein liked that the most.
“You may already be guessing, but let’s formally propose it.”
Tamashi crossed his legs arrogantly. As he took out a cigarette, the warrior next to him lit it with a lighter.
Tamashi said, exhaling smoke.
“Come join our tribe. “I’ll put you under my direct control.”
There were four large tribes in Tokyo.
Among them, Orochi controlled the western part of the city.
But recently, the atmosphere was taking an unusual turn.
Izanami in the east,
Orochi in the west,
Musashi in the south, Mandala
in the north.
As the territories of the four growing tribes began to overlap, clashes between forces were becoming more frequent.
‘If time goes on like this, war will definitely break out.’
Tamashi decided that way. The opinions of other executives were not much different.
Nevertheless, Takeda, the lord, was showing a passive attitude toward the war.
‘Takeda is so timid. ‘The lord is so afraid of assassination that he doesn’t show himself in front of his subordinates.’
There was a time when I succumbed to Takeda’s skills and charisma, but that was so long ago that I don’t even remember it.
As his disappointment with his lord grew, other desires grew in Tamashii’s heart.
‘We need a strong lord to win the coming war.’
For example, a man like Tamashi himself.
However, in order to become the new lord, he needed to have the power to overwhelm Takeda and other executives.
‘If you have this guy’s level of skill, it will be of great help to you.’
Tamashi looked at the great man sitting in front of him.
The ability to kill a large monster with a single blow using techniques only seen in cartoons.
He was a rare talent even here in Orochi.
‘I don’t know where he came from, but he’s still a kid who uses a knife.’
These guys could be tamed just by giving them money, power, and a woman.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s almost impossible to meet a lord here. “I am actually in charge of managing the Tribe.”
That was true.
Tamashi had known Lord Takeda the longest and knew his real face.
So the lord entrusted Tamashii with the management of the tribe.
It’s not like I entrusted it to you knowing that this would happen.
“Being loyal to me is no different from being loyal to your lord.”
A confident smile appeared on Tamashi’s lips.
He leaned towards the great man. And he blew out a puff of cigarette smoke in the man’s face.
“You know what I mean, right?”
Tamashi thought that if he did this, the opponent would easily overcome him.
But an unexpected answer came back.
“Thank you for the offer. “I am quite satisfied with my current job.”
“…….”
At that moment, a small crack appeared in Tamashi’s smile.
But it quickly disappeared.
He thought that Daein was pushing and pushing.
“Would you like to raise the ransom? okay. “How much salary do you want?”
“Fuha!”
The great man laughed heartily.
It’s a green bong. These bastards were under the illusion that they were truly nobles.
It was so funny that I burst out laughing.
‘They are not the kind of people you can talk about.’
I thought about it for a while on the way, but it was the right thing to do with these bastards, using the ‘thing’ I received from my teacher.
A cold sneer formed on the corner of the Daein’s mouth.
“You don’t have to sell the whole of Tokyo to pay my ransom. “Can you handle it?”
Tamashi’s expression hardened at the sudden change in Daein’s tone.
“dare…!”
He was Tribe Orochi’s second-in-command.
Even though he had some skills, a warrior from the village was not in a position to dare to speak informally to him.
Tamashi jumped up from his seat and glared at Daein.
“Your arrogance is sky-high. “Do you think I look funny for using a knife?”
Slurp.
The warriors in the room drew their weapons and pointed them at Daein, and the soldiers pointed their guns.
“…….”
On the other hand, Daein did not have any weapons. It was returned before the banquet started.
Tamashi said with a chuckle.
“Why don’t you use your tongue like before?”
The great man stuck out his tongue and waved it vigorously back and forth and left and right. Tamashi and all the samurai’s mouths dropped open at that beautiful tongue play.
“…Now I see he was crazy! What are they doing! “Make this guy kneel before me!”
At Tamashi’s command, the samurai approached the great man.
Two people pointed their spear knives at him and two of them gave a warning with a grim look on their faces.
“hey. “If you don’t want to get hurt, stay calm.”
The great man said with a grin.
“You guys don’t have to be quiet. “You’re going to get hurt anyway.”
And then the great man disappeared. It was so fast that no one saw him move.
Whick!
The great man appeared behind the warriors and grabbed two heads, one in each hand.
And they hit their heads together cheerfully, as if playing cymbals.
Bah!
With the sound of something breaking, the two warriors fell to the floor. Immediately after that, the great man took a step to the side.
wickedness! The sword grazed the spot where the great man was. The great man stared at the warrior who swung his sword at him.
“So are you going to catch flies?”
“Ugh!”
The great man screamed and knocked down the legs of the warrior who was attacking him.
Craddangtang! I lightly kicked the side of the warrior who was falling comically. The other person couldn’t breathe properly and collapsed and lost consciousness.
“Haaaab!”
The last remaining warrior gathered his courage and thrust his spear straight in.
Cough! The great man flicked the tip of the spear upward with his finger. And then he walked into the gap between his opponents.
The warrior put down his spear and raised his hand.
“Ha surrender…!”
“Just you, shamefully? “They deserve to be hit equally.”
The chestnut hit the warrior’s forehead. With a sound as if a cannon had been fired, the warrior was thrown all the way to the wall.
This entire process took place in an instant.
Tamashi, who had no time to run away, backed away and shouted at the soldiers. His eyes were wide with astonishment.
“What are they doing! “Shoot him!”
Flames spewed out from the muzzles of the guns pointed by the 10 soldiers.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
The bullet pierced Daein’s afterimage. Before the first bullet fired had even hit the wall, Daein was standing next to the nearest soldier.
“You are still ordinary people, so I will take this into account.”
The lightly swung sword hit the soldier on the back of the neck.
puck! Puk puk puk!
Soldiers fell to the floor one after another, like falling dominoes.
The great man stunned everyone in the room.
Except for one person.
“hey. Tamashi-kun?”
“Hee hee hee!”
Tamashi trembled as if his name had been called by the Grim Reaper. The great man walked towards him and continued speaking.
“Are you the blue ghost that chased the kid named Shin Kurodama a few days ago?”
At that moment, Tamashii’s pupils dilated.
“How did you do that…”
A few days ago, Tamashi used his characteristic [Avatar] to chase down the squires who ran away from the Tribe.
The only guy I couldn’t catch at that time was a guy named Shin Kurodama.
Just when he thought he had it all figured out, a girl with red hair appeared and burned his avatar.
“I guess that’s right.”
A cool smile appeared on the great man’s lips. To those who saw it, it was a smile scarier than the yaksha of hell.
“You looked at that red-headed kid and said he liked it? And what did you say earlier? “You can’t stand if you’re over 13?”
“That, that…”
Tuk.
Tamashi’s back hit the wall as he stepped back. He looked at the great man approaching, sweating coldly.
The great man rolled up his sleeves up to his forearms.
“First of all, you need to get hit a lot.”
“Save me… keaaak!”
Tamashi was beaten to dust on a rainy day. The great man adjusted the intensity appropriately so that he would not die or pass out.
After a while, Tamashi, covered in blood, wriggled like a bug under the great man’s feet.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
will himself? He thought Daein was going to kill him.
“This… crazy guy! I think you can handle this! “The entire Tribe Orochi will come after you!”
But Daein had no intention of killing him.
The great man squatted down in front of him. And then he took out two items from his arms.
“Let me see.”
The great man first poured the potion on Tamashii’s body.
As the wound healed like a miracle, Tamashi made a stupid sound even in the midst of pain.
“Uh huh…?”
“Isn’t it amazing? This is a potion. “I plan to distribute and sell it all over the world, starting with Japan, but of course it will be sold a little more expensive than in Korea.”
“Why why…”
Tamashi looked up at the great man with a dumb expression.
“Why don’t you kill me and save me?”
The great man chuckled. To Tamashi, it was a laugh that seemed more evil than the devil.
“Honestly, getting rid of you guys is no big deal. It’s enough for just one kid who wants to punish the bad guys without me stepping forward. So, I am like a benefactor to you.”
“…….”
Tamashi had no idea what the other person was talking about.
Of course, I did not mean to expect the other person to understand.
“But if I kill you all, the people living here like slaves will be defenselessly exposed to monsters.”
That was a bit difficult.
And one more thing,
“Once Hell Gate begins, even people like you will be useful. “Just know that you are being saved for complex reasons.”
And the great man picked up the second object he had taken out of his arms.
It was a wooden box the size of two fists put together.
“Of course, I have no intention of just letting you live.”
This item was specially received from my teacher, Cheon Mu-geuk.
It has been developed and improved over a long period of time by the Church of the Heavenly Demon in order to dominate the martial arts world.
Although it is now useless, the technology and results remain intact.
Ssssssut.
When I opened the wooden box, a terrible poison leaked out from inside. Inside, black caterpillars the size of a little finger were tangled together.
The great man picked one of them up with his finger and waved it in front of Tamashii.
“It’s called loneliness. If this thing settles in your stomach and starts to writhe, no matter how mentally strong you are, you won’t be able to hold on for even 10 minutes. “Once you experience it yourself, you will know better than me.”
“Ugh…!”
The great man forced Tamashi’s mouth open. Tamashi resisted fiercely, but his mouth opened up and down against his will.
The great man took solitude into his mouth.
“This will solidify our alliance.”
Before Hell Gate began, Daein planned to somehow complete the World Superhuman Union.
Even if it means using somewhat rough means and methods.
‘Persuasion with words has its limits. It takes a long time. ‘This isn’t the best, but there’s nothing we can do because we’re in a hurry.’
Tomorrow morning, Joo Sang-wook will be embarrassed by Tamasi’s suddenly cooperative attitude.
Joo Sang-wook will try to find out the reason, but
‘there are things in this world that are better than not knowing.’
The great man forced loneliness down Tamashii’s throat.
“Now ah-.”
“Wow!”
Tamashi’s face turned black as he swallowed his loneliness. He rolled around on the floor in pain. His veins bulged and tears streamed from his eyes.
“Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
I wanted to scream, but Daein took over my blood, so I couldn’t even scream and just screamed.
After a while, as loneliness settled into his body, Tamashi’s facial color gradually returned to its original state.
The great man tapped the completely exhausted man on the cheek.
“Then shall we continue talking about what we were talking about earlier?”
“Huh…”
Tamashi looked up at the great man with eyes full of despair.
***
“Himura-san!”
When Daein returned to the banquet hall, Genji came running up, panting like a dog meeting its owner for the first time in 10 years.
“What did you talk about with Tamashi? “Did you decide to join that faction?”
The great man answered with an ambiguous expression.
“I don’t know. First of all, we talked about it…”
“Tell me everything. “I will give you advice.”
“I still have something to ask you.”
A soft smile appeared on the great man’s lips.
“I’d like to meet other executives besides Tamashi.”
“Other executives?”
“huh. I would like to meet each person individually in a quiet place and talk about it. “Can you make some arrangements?”
Genji nodded eagerly, thinking that he had something to do.
“of course. “I’m waiting here. I’ll make an appointment!”
That day, Daein made all of Tribe Orochi’s executives take loneliness.
