I must have been sleeping in an empty room in Yeongho-kyung’s residence.

After somehow stopping Elder Lee and finishing Yeongho-kyung’s treatment, I had no idea what was going on. When I woke up, two days had already passed, and I only found out today that it was already the third day.

“So, Elder Lee got away in the end…”

“It’s a shame, but we’re satisfied with just preventing him from doing anything foolish for now.”

Yeongho-kyung replied with a slight smile, showing no signs of disappointment.

I was sitting across from Yeongho-kyung, having breakfast. Even as I cleared the neatly arranged breakfast table, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about Elder Lee getting away.

To be honest, I wasn’t particularly interested in catching Elder Lee.

There was the Pope, the Grand Master who was a peerless master, and even the Divine Martial Artist who was a step below the Pope, so I thought he would be caught anyway.

“Elder Lee ran away, avoiding the Pope’s eyes?”

It would have been different if this was an area with a huge population and plenty of places to hide, but in a place full of deserts and wastelands outside?

As someone who knew that the Pope could freely use the legendary divine skill, Nungongheodo, I couldn’t think that way.

Oh, I might not have been interested in catching him at all.

“As you said, I’ve prepared a place for you to introduce yourself to the elders.”

“Yes, but not in front of others, absolutely not.”

“Oh, that side… Of course, if it’s as you say, there’s no reason to clash.”

“Even if it doesn’t work out, I’ll find another way, you know?”

Yeongho-kyung was merciful to his own people, but he had a slightly ruthless side to him when it came to others.

So what I demanded was two things. First, instead of proposing, we should just attack right away, even if it doesn’t work out.

Second…

“Oh, and before meeting the elders, my father wants to see you for a moment.”

“…What for?”

It was refreshing to hear her call her father instead of the Grand Master, even though they were both women, but I didn’t point it out.

“He wants to thank you and has some news to tell you. I didn’t hear the details.”

News to tell me? I never thought we had that kind of loyalty…

For me, the Grand Master was actually a somewhat uncomfortable person because of the incident when I first slept with Chaesoo.

However, since Yeongho-kyung doesn’t know much, I think I should at least see his face.

“Well, now that breakfast is over, we should go see him. Oh, but I think you should go say good morning to the Pope first.”

“He asked me to come right away. Maybe the Blood Demon is there too… Hmph…”

Standing next to Yeongho-kyung, who got up from her seat, she pushed me slightly.

“You said we couldn’t do it in front of others…”

“No one’s watching, though?”

One of the two conditions I set for Yeongho-kyung.

“Since we don’t know when someone might come in and see us… Can you hold back a bit, please?”

If I wanted to, Yeongho-kyung would allow me to have her body at any time.

Honestly, there was an element of humiliation in this condition, as Yeongho-kyung would reluctantly agree to it with a blush, but now that I was actually using it, it had become something the lustful demon in me enjoyed.

“Did I win by pretending to accept the condition and having impregnation sex?”

As I groped Yeongho-kyung’s buttocks and let go, I saw her expression of slight disappointment.

The vague sense of guilt that I had made this woman like this, even more faint than the morning fog, was just a bonus.

“What? What did the Pope say?”

The head of the sect saw the Blood Demon’s disciple’s eyes widen and spoke again.

“Your master left for something else. This is a letter he left for you to read in the future.”

As the man opened the envelope and read the contents, his face twisted slightly. The head of the sect watched him for a moment and then spoke.

“Is there bad news written in it?”

“No. More than that, I’m grateful that he went out of his way to tell me this personally.”

“That’s not necessary.”

The head of the sect responded lightly to the man’s gratitude and then got up from his chair and slowly walked down from the platform.

And then he grabbed the man’s hand with both hands and spoke.

“I’m actually much more grateful to you. As a father with a daughter, I sincerely thank you for protecting her with your life.”

The head of the sect was truly grateful.

She was already a grown woman who had even married and had a child, but to him, she was the only treasure left by his deceased wife.

Moreover, if things had gone according to the Elder’s plan, he would have had to make a decision to spill useless blood as the head of the sect.

“I may not be able to do it because of my position, but in my heart, I want to bow my head and say thank you to you. I’m really grateful, thank you.”

If he was the same age and had a clean record with women, he would have been a good son-in-law.

“Even if it was someone else in the sect, I would have done the same thing. As someone who wants to have a close relationship with the sect in the future, it was only natural.”

“However, it wouldn’t be dignified to just let it go like this. You might need to think about how to repay me, but you can expect good things. If you want something, you can tell me.”

“Ah, that… Thank you.”

The man hesitated for a moment before nodding vigorously.

While the two of them were chatting, the elders began to gather to listen to the man’s explanation.

The letter from the Pope had two contents. One was that he had to leave the demon sect for urgent business. The other was to congratulate him on reaching the pinnacle and to explain his thoughts on my martial arts.

“So this guy just let him act out while watching him.”

It made my stomach turn, but since the Pope was the kind of person who would do anything if he wanted to, I guessed he had been watching over him without letting him know, as long as he didn’t die or get seriously injured.

I thought it was something like that. Not teaching me was probably a benefit to me.

And so on and so forth.

The point was that there was no mention of any plans to return. I didn’t know what kind of wind had blown, but now that the Pope was gone, I had to be even more careful in this demon sect.

On the other hand, I was a little uneasy about the “repayment” that the demon sect leader wanted to give me.

Whether Yeongho-kyung had come to like me because she had awakened as a female or not, I was already in a state of receiving a repayment of using her body as a living sex toy while I was here.

Wouldn’t it be a little strange to receive another repayment for the same reason?

‘If I say something like, “Oh, with your permission, I’ll take your daughter and have sex with her too?” I might have to prepare to fight the Pope and have my neck cut off.’

In the end, I had no choice in this situation. Yeongho-kyung probably wouldn’t tell her father that we were having sex…

“Oh, this won’t do. I can’t trust this. As soon as this explanation is over, I need to conduct a body search.”

“Yeongho-kyung doesn’t even know that I slept with Chaesu-ran.”

If I spoke lightly, thinking that it would just be a grandchild, I couldn’t predict how the leader would react.

“Gang So-hyeop, everyone is here… Now, please start the explanation.”

After hearing the words of the Iljang-ro, I finally realized that people were paying attention to me.

“Well, then, shall we talk about the business that the sect will start?”

Let me speak once.

The leader was fascinated by the concepts that the man was explaining.

He had defeated the Pyo-guk-up and was now in the transportation business, using his excellent eloquence to persuade the elders with a grandiose attitude.

First, the idea was to sell goods to individuals, the final consumers, based on the top made from the capital of the Myeong-gyo.

It was a method that was possible because the Myeong-gyo was superior in both the quality and quantity of masters compared to any other martial arts sect.

“What about the increasing cost due to the complexity of transportation?”

In response to the question from the Samjang-ro, the man emphasized that even for goods that were not sold in the market, they could boast of a unique value that could be easily obtained by paying a small shipping fee.

Various measures were proposed, such as linking with the receipts of the battlefield under the Myeong-gyo to solve the problem of buyer identification, and installing a water dispenser to use the place as a collection point to alleviate the problem of unclear maps or buyer’s residential location.

“Is there any other question?”

As a disciple of the Blood Demon, I thought he had only learned martial arts to death, but surprisingly, he was learning useful knowledge for running the organization.

“What is his true identity?”

Even in most of the martial arts sects, unless it was a person designated as a successor, there were hardly any cases where they had learned such knowledge.

If I was interested in his unique opinions that came from a difference in perspective and his boldness in criticizing evil demons in front of him last time.

This time, I was amazed by his well-organized plan and depth of knowledge.

“Well, since there doesn’t seem to be any more questions, I’ll ask one. Can you be sure that you know how to make the water dispenser and other items that you can use for your plan?”

“…I’m not sure, but I know the principle, so I’ll try a few times and I’ll be sure.”

“Okay, then let’s proceed with the elders’ agreement.”

It’s good to take advantage of free things, but if you like free things too much, you’re bound to get sick of them.

The most rational way would be to take a certain percentage of profits from the employees. It was clear that they would work harder to increase their profits.

While staring at the employees, I made eye contact with one of them.

‘No, it’s not me.’

The employee saw someone else, not me.

Without thinking much, I turned to my daughter standing to my right, hoping to divert the employee’s gaze.

But for some reason, my daughter’s gaze seemed to emit a unique feeling that I couldn’t explain.

It was warm yet sharp, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I felt like I had received such a gaze from someone before.

However, since it didn’t come to mind immediately, I didn’t pay much attention to it and threw that thought to the back of my mind.
