The Return of The Crazy Demon

cases, they were just collateral damage.

I have no sympathy for the mad monkeys fighting and dying among themselves.

However, I cannot accept the senselessness of an errand boy who only serves alcohol and snacks that gets beaten to death for no particular reason.

Geum Chul-yong asks.

“I do get what you mean, but what does it have to do with Kangho?”

Geum Chul-yong still seems confused at my explanation.

I continue my words.

“It does.
I'll know if the injured or the dead are part of the Low-Down Sect.
If someone is killed by the Unorthodox Faction, I will kill them in return.
If he killed them, I would kill them before they can bring it up to the Murim Alliance.
That's how I'll guard over ordinary working people.
It's just that…”

I take a look at those in front of me.

“I know that by protecting the weak we will inevitably run into problems with established factions.
No matter who I fight against, I can make a name for myself.
Because I will be a spokesperson for the weak.”

In my past life, I gained the name 'Crazy Demon' without much pretext.

Thanks to this, I was too easily criticized and blamed for no reason.

People said I was insane no matter what I did, and I was accused of crimes I didn't even commit.

To be honest, there are many times when I didn't even bother to clear my name.

On top of that, I had quite a temper and became an enemy of the alliance in no time.

But I don't want that anymore.

Who could understand why I was training to kill the Demon Cult Leader while running away from the Murim Alliance?

Things are different now.

If you don't seize the rare opportunity, you're a fool, not a madman.

Yeon Ja-seong replies first.

“I understand.”

Cha Sung-tae raises his hand and says.

“There's something I don't understand…
Wouldn't the leader have to be incredibly strong for the code of conduct to mean anything? Let's say the Black Rabbit Union comes marching in tomorrow.
According to the code of conduct, we must confess that this was all done by the leader.
No, forget about the Black Rabbit Union.
How will you deal with all the sects and masters out there?”

“Fair point.”

I hold my breath, glance at those waiting for my answer, and blurt out something rather outrageous.

“As long as I am unrivaled, there won't be any problems.”

“…”

Grave silence falls over the group.

Cha Sung-tae hurriedly covers his hand over his mouth but fails to conceal the 'pfft' sound from his mouth.

As a signal, Geum Chul-yong bursts into laughter, Jang Deuk-soo laughs as he hugs his stomach, and even Yeon Ja-sung smiles.
Subsequently, as Cha Sung-tae bursts into laughter as if he had gained courage, the sub-sect leaders break into a huge fit of laughter.

“Bahahahahaha.”

“Kyahahahahaha.”

“In the Ilyang Prefecture…
Unrivaled…”

“An errand boy bastard…
Ah, I'm sorry.”

I smile gently as I watch the leaders laugh.

Actually, I find it funny, too.

An errand boy becoming unrivalled…

Eventually, I burst into laughter with the leaders.

“Hahahaha…”

I laughed for a long time before turning dour at Cha Sung-tae.

“You should laugh moderately.
Do you have a death wish? This bastard even teared up.”

“Yes.”

Geum Chul-yong says as if he'd felt better from just listening to me.

“You're still young, so if you work hard every day, you'll be a master famous throughout Kangho in a few decades.
After all, a man should have great ambitions.
I support our leader.”

Yeon Ja-seong says with innocent eyes as if he held no doubts.

“I'll support you too.
Be unrivaled.
I will be a loyal supporter of the Low-Down Sect and its leader.”

Since Yeon Ja-seong's ambition is to be the best in architecture, I am determined to support this mindset.

My eyes turn to Jang Deuk-soo, who is staying silent.

This is how Jang Deuk-soo felt.

'It's not like being unrivaled is a child's joke.'

I watch Jang Deuk-soo's complicated expression and say,

“Looks like Brother Deuk-soo thinks it's impossible.”

Jang Deuk-soo is an honest man, so he answers with a nod.

“Don't you think so?”

“What do you mean?”

“There are countless sects, powerful masters, and established clans in Kangho, not to mention martial art prodigies.
I heard most of them train in martial arts before they could even walk.”

“That's generally true.”

Jang Deuk-soo expresses his thoughts in words he must have heard from somewhere.

“They say that he who is unrivaled is sent by the heavens.”

That's right.

The unrivalled is the man who has descended from heaven.

And the man picked by the mysterious man in the sky is me.

“That's me.”

The mindset is more important than the outcome.

“Actually, it's not important whether I become unrivaled or not.
The only thing that matters is how hard I work for it.
A true man sets his goals and sticks to them.
Lee Zaha, the errand boy, will strive to be the best in the world, but what will you all aim to become?”

I point my finger at the leaders and say.

“Please give it some serious thought.”

I suddenly wonder if I am still the man called the Crazy Demon at this point.

However, I am who I am.

I didn't have any plans in my past life, but this time I do.

I have to take good care of the Low-Down Sect, so it is ready to fight the Murim Alliance and take on the Demon Cult.
If I represent the weak, I will not become the alliance's enemy as I did before.

Only with a purpose…

I can fight alongside the Orthodox Faction for justice.

And go against the crazed monkeys of the Demon Cult.

I can then either beat those in the Unorthodox Factions to death or keep them as my subordinates.

This is the power of having a purpose.

When someone pushes a different belief from the rest of the world.

Success leads to revolution, and failure leads to madness.

In this lifetime, I will become a successful madman.
