At the very moment when Soo-hyeon was telling her everything that had happened at the bar she had been invited to, Mo Yong-cheol, who had successfully recruited Su-hyeon, was meeting with people who shared the same thoughts as him.

“So, how did it go?”

In a way, Mo Yong-se, who can be said to be the leader of this meeting, said that they would take care of it themselves, so they said that they would understand for now and took a wait-and-see attitude, but was it psychologically inevitable to be curious about the outcome?

As if to imprint in the minds of others the fact that he was the one leading this meeting, Mo Yong-cheol, who appeared last, was asked a very hasty question as soon as he got to his seat.

“Surely it wasn’t a failure?”

“Is that possible? The other person is just a ronin with no clan or clan that can support him. And… it’s obvious what the rogues think.”

It’s like he’s in the palm of my hand.

The expressions of those present brightened slightly at Mo Yong-cheol’s remark, which was practically saying that.

“Oh… What do you mean?”

“When I put forward a few conditions, he said he would understand without even thinking about it.”

“Did you? Tsk, this is why these wanderers with no roots…”

And when someone shows a good performance or is leading the way, it is like an instinct that a martial artist can never resist, to want to sneak a shot at them.

No matter how much they were ideological (?) comrades gathered under the banner of the Anti-Party Alliance, I thought it would be a bit odd to see Mo Yong-se’s side monopolizing the ball as it is now.

Amidst the admiring voices, a disapproving voice peeked its head.

“Wouldn’t it be possible that it was a deception?”

“Well, it’s definitely… From his perspective, it’s a decision that could literally change his life, but I’m a little suspicious that he made the decision so quickly.”

It may be obvious, but Mo Yong-cheol is also a martial artist.

Therefore, he did not know what their intention was in saying such things.

How could you not know?

There is something in line with the reason why he gathered people like this in the first place.

So, he just found this situation to be ridiculous.

Although they gathered together for the purpose of keeping the party group in check, which continued to grow day by day, it seemed burdensome to set up an open confrontation, and as soon as he said yes to carrying the gun, it was as if he had completely changed his face.

Because it was the kind of behavior that only profiteers would do.

Thanks to this, I was a little disillusioned… but what could I do?

It would be crazy for Mo Yong-se to fight against the Tang family on his own without their help.

‘If you want to, there’s nothing you can’t do…’

There was no reason for that.

Considering the momentum of the party becoming stronger day by day, even if they win the battle for power, the damage will not be small.

Especially considering that one of the weapons mainly used by those with the Tang surname is ‘poison’, even if they achieve a miraculous victory through a strategy sent from heaven, they will have to focus only on recovery for at least 10 years.

That’s literally the best scenario, but what would it be like in reality?

At least the damage would have been greater than that, but not less.

And the moment that happened… there was no way the guys here could stay still.

They will try to covet the piece of meat left behind by the lion named Danga, making up excuses that are not even remotely valid.

Just like the things called hyenas.

It’s obvious that it’s going to go that way, but why would you call me crazy and use poison?

Rather… it would be the right decision to use what is available and reduce the damage even a little.

And just for that?

There was a need to somehow take control of this meeting.

I was suddenly disillusioned with the fact that I had to join forces with these profiteers, but regardless of my true intentions, the fact that I opened my mouth with the purpose of convincing them was the result of taking that into consideration.

“You can stop worrying about the possibility of it being a deception. Because we moved with that in mind from the beginning.”

“Yes? What is that…?”

” Doesn’t everyone here know this? What a snake-like person that guy is.”

There was no way I didn’t know.

That’s because, in a way, this place could be said to be a victims’ meeting where those who have been harmed by the party gathered together.

Of course, the party did not attack them outright or anything like that, but wouldn’t it be a loss if something that was originally theirs was taken away from them?

And it was safe to say that the current head of the family, Dangdeung, was behind all of that.

As expected, the expressions on the faces of those present became noticeably stiff as he spoke about Dangdeung, the head of the party.

Thanks to that, I continued speaking without missing the momentary gap that occurred.

“So, of course, I would have assigned someone to my prospective son-in-law as well.”

Even if I didn’t know anything else, I was sure of that one part.

It was inevitable because it would have been the same even if he had been the leader.

Even if he were, he would have acted that way, so what would be the worst thing about that snake-like person?

At the very least, someone would have been attached to the prospective son-in-law and youngest daughter as soon as they arrived in this country.

“In such a situation, the future son-in-law is having a relationship that seems suspicious to anyone? It is obvious how the man will treat his son-in-law when he finds out about that fact.”

Considering his snake-like nature, he would not outright throw his opponent away.

Instead… they will continue to cast suspicious glances at you.

“Don’t you know that you are the one being suspected of that fact?”

The situation in which even the dullest of people can turn into a quick wit is when it is related to their own gain.

Moreover, in the case of the old man we met earlier, he was so greedy that it was obvious that he approached the youngest daughter of the party family with the intention of gaining the benefit that the title of son-in-law would bring, but the checks of the party and others prevented him from reaping any benefit. What if it happens?

“The relationship will naturally widen. The moment the relationship opens up, you will remember the proposal we made.”

“Indeed…! Your goal was to make them suspicious of each other from the beginning.”

“Inducing division from within and attacking them while the party is shaking… I’m worried that this might end too easily.”

“If that happens, wouldn’t it be a good thing? You will be able to extract more profits by the amount of troops you save.”

“The story goes like that again. Hehehehe!”

It’s not like we’ve reached a conclusion yet, but it’s already like we’re just drinking tea.

I felt like I was going to cry out of frustration, but instead of ridiculing, a smile appeared on my face.

And then he laughed along with the others.

Yes, laugh hard right now.

In the end, the final winner will be me, or rather, our family.

In that sense… wouldn’t the party’s inner circle be in an uproar by now, suspicious and wary of each other?

It’s just a shame that I can’t see it with my own eyes.

While the people in the anti-party coalition were smiling and dreaming of a happy future, what was Su-hyeon doing…

“So I said that in surprise. No, how can you work all night long after eating only that?”

“Um.”

“There wasn’t even a single bit of meat, just pure grass. If you eat like that, how can you gain strength while working? Thanks to you, I decided.”

“What did you decide?”

“What resolution will you make? Then, I thought I should feed myself well before something serious happens.”

After realizing early on that the other person was a serious idiot, he was telling me a lot about his daily life, something that any idiot would be curious about.

Of course, considering that the other person is a serious idiot, there is a high possibility that they have already been informed of everything through a report or something… but isn’t there a difference between hearing it in writing and hearing it through the mouths of people around you in this way?

So, I spoke out diligently… but at first, I started to get bitchy from the party, who didn’t show much of a reaction, perhaps because I wanted to stick to the strict, solemn, and serious concept of the head of the family and chairman.

‘Of course it is.’

Take a look at this.

I heard this guy is also a fool.

“However, since I had just learned to cook professionally and it wasn’t like that, I mainly cooked what I ate when I was training while staying in the mountains…”

“You did it?”

“Fortunately, he seemed to like it and ate it well.”

“Hmm, I guess so. What did you do for me?”

Do you think I’ll put it in my memory and use it later when we all have to eat together?

A gaze flew towards me as if threatening(?), asking me what I was doing instead of telling him right away.

He listed mainly the things that Dangsoso ate well at that time…

Pinch!

“Huh…?!”

Dang So-so, who must have been so embarrassed that his private life was exposed in front of his father, who thought it was difficult, his face turned red before he knew it, reached out and pinched my side.

As if to tell me to please stop shaking.
