“Why is the list of assets suddenly… … .”
“… … .”
“Ah, of course, since you are now the head of the household, you have the right and duty to check the Sega family fortune. But why so suddenly… … ?”
Namgung Myung looked at Namgung Do-wi with a suspicious look. Namgung Do-wi just muttered with a soulless face.
“just…….”
“yes?”
“Don’t ask… … just tell me. Just… … .”
“… … .”
What happened to the gentleman who had his eyes full of guns when he left his lodgings in the morning that made him come back with the eyes of a man who had lost all his fortune in gambling?
Namgung Myung, who was glancing at Namgung Do-wi with suspicious eyes, spoke nervously.
“Then I will hand you the organized ledger.”
“Uncle.”
“… …Why do you keep doing that?”
“Our Namgung family is rich, right?”
“Heh heh.”
Namgung Myung said as if it was absurd.
“What is this? They say that in this world, there are as many merchants as clouds, and that there are so many tycoons that they trip over their feet, but no matter how great their wealth is, it cannot compare to the wealth of our Namgung family.”
It was a statement full of pride.
It is only natural. As far as Namgung Myung knows, the only sect in the world that can compare to Namgung Se Ga in terms of wealth is Shaolin. Even if they are shamans or Peng Ga, the reality is that they are inferior to Namgung Se Ga.
But when Namgung Do-wi heard those words, instead of being happy, he started biting his fingernails.
“You’re rich… … . You’re rich… … . You’re rich.”
“Cow, cow owner?”
“I used to be rich… … . Rich… … .”
Is this guy crazy?
Suddenly.
Namgung Do-wi, who had been biting his fingernails, finally opened his trembling lips.
“Where can I get the ledger?”
“If it’s a copy, the head of the household will have it.”
“… … Yes, then.”
As he watched Namgung Do-wi walking out, Namgung Myeong was overcome with an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
This was because Namgung Do-wi could faintly hear himself muttering, “You must do well. You must do well. You must do well. Please, you must do well.”
“What the heck… … .”
Namgung Myeong still did not know the exact nature of the disaster that was approaching Namgung Se-ga.
* * *
Cheongmyeong’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.
His mouth fell open involuntarily, and his hands holding the ledger trembled as if he had been struck by a cold.
“… … This, this is… … .”
“… … .”
“Is this all?”
Namgung Do-wi nodded his head sheepishly.
“This is a list of the Namgung family’s assets.”
“… … Three, my goodness.”
Cheongmyeong’s head creaked and turned on its own. Even if a heavenly horse appeared right before my eyes, I didn’t think I would be this surprised.
Cheongmyeong, who was looking back and forth between Namgung Do-wi and Jang Bu, expressed his feelings without holding back with half-open eyes.
“I wondered why people in the world starve even though they work so hard, but it turns out these guys have all the money. You sons of thieves.”
“… … .”
“Huh… … . What is this… … . Heh heh heh heh.”
Cheongmyeong looked at the ledger again with a tired expression on his face.
To be clear, the Volcano is no longer a sect that has absolutely no money. It may not have been like that until a few years ago, but now it can be said to be one of the richest sects in the world.
Although the wealth they have accumulated is still not enough to keep up with the wealthy people of the Central Plains, considering the income they earn, they are now able to drive out most sects with a slap of money.
In terms of revenue alone, we can be proud that we have surpassed the once successful Hwasan. But… … .
“That… that’s crazy. They say there are more real ones.”
Baekcheon slowly approached, surprised at how intense Cheongmyeong’s reaction was.
“How much of it do you have?”
“look.”
Cheongmyeong handed the ledger over to Baekcheon without a word.
Baekcheon said nonchalantly, turning a few pages of the ledger.
“No, he might have a lot of money. He’s a Namgung Se-ganda. But it’s a bit much to say that to Soga-ju… .”
At that moment, Yun Jong encountered a sight he had never seen before.
Baekcheon’s two eyes slowly grew bigger and then popped out.
“This, this is… … .”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Baekcheon’s hands turning the ledger began to become more violent.
Baekcheon, who was roughly turning over his ledger with an expression that did not match his neat face, suddenly stopped. Then, he raised his head and blankly looked at Namgung Do-wi.
But that was only for a moment, as the blank expression quickly began to change into a look of venom. Namgung Do-wi was flustered.

“Why, why are you doing that?”
“You rich kid… … .”
“yes?”
Namgung Do-wi was so shocked that he couldn’t believe his ears. Were those words really coming out of Baekcheon’s mouth?
At that moment, Cheongmyeong suddenly shouted.
“You have so much money, why are you wielding a knife, you crazy bastard!”
“Th, what do you mean… … .”
“The ones who have, add more! Really add more!”
A voice full of venom flowed out of Cheongmyeong’s mouth.
“Damn it. The world is so unfair! Some people are born as orphans and end up in a volcanic crater worse than a beggar’s den! Some people are born as sons of the Namgung family!”
“therefore!”
“The private tutor is from Jongnam!”
“Compared to Namgung, Jongnam is also a beggar!”
“Oh. That’s right.”
“Those rotten rich bastards.”
“Those damn landlords.”
Jo-geol rubbed his eyes as he watched the scene. Somehow, it seemed as if a red aura was flowing behind Cheongmyeong and Baekcheon. It seemed as if he could see a sickle and a hammer… … .
“Oh my god… … . I thought I had a lot of money.”
Cheongmyeong muttered with a blank expression.
Now I could see clearly. That damned long-suffering brainwashing was narrowing his world. No matter how much money Cheongmyeong boasted about, in the end he was just a Taoist idiot who was satisfied with just food to eat and alcohol to drink.
Human greed(?) surpassed the imagination of Cheongmyeong, who lived in a pure temple.
“Wait a minute. So the Shaolin and shaman kids also have about the same amount of money?”
Cheongmyeong gritted his teeth.
“But these kids want to donate military funds? I have to chase these kids and dig up their graves.”
“… … What are you talking about? Since a while ago?”
“Ugh.”
Cheongmyeong scratched my throat as if he had swallowed hot charcoal.
Yui Seol, curious about the reaction that seemed like it would bubble over at any moment, quietly approached Cheongmyeong and snatched the ledger.
and.
thud.
“Whoa! An accident! Why are you falling down!”
Dang So-so ran to Yu I-seol, who had fallen backwards in shock.
Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue at the sight.
“Yes, yes. It would be normal for someone from the streets to faint when they see this amount.”
“Accidents are not orphans!”
“It’s spicy, isn’t it?”
“No, how much money do you have to make this mess?”
Tang Soso picked up the ledger and looked through it.
“Hmm.”
Then, with a slightly indifferent expression, he handed the ledger over to Jo-geol. Jo-geol also read it briefly and then said.
“… … It’s just a regular ledger, isn’t it?”
“Shouldn’t Namgung Se-ga have at least this much?”
Baekcheon and Cheongmyeong’s eyes became bloodshot again at the two people’s reactions. Yui Seol, who was lying on the floor, also raised her head and grabbed the sword on her waist.
“Those dirty landlords.”
“The children of the wealthy!”
“Eliminate!”
The trio of orphans, runaways, and street kids glared at the three people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
“Okay, wait a minute! I don’t know about other people, but this isn’t quite private!”
“That’s right! The private tutoring family is good too! It’s because I came out of it on my own!”
Jo-geol was confident that this attack would definitely work. However, the moment Baek-cheon answered, Jo-geol neatly gave up on the counterattack.
“When I was born, my older brother was Jin Geum-ryong.”
“and…….”
“This is a confession.”
“Stay there, sir. Excuse me.”
In an atmosphere where the flames of revolution seemed likely to erupt at any moment, Yun Jong quickly stepped in to mediate.
“Hey, now isn’t the time for us to fight amongst ourselves, Cheongmyeong.”
“Ugh.”
Cheongmyeong twisted his neck forcibly.
“Whew. Whoosh.”
His stomach was turning and his mind was spinning, but somehow, didn’t this book end up in his hands?
“that…….”
Cheongmyeong looked back and forth between Jangbu and Namgung Dowi, then moved his lips apart with difficulty.
“… … I can do it.”
“yes?”
“… … Sa, sa… … I’ll… … . Ah, no. This I’ll… … .”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong realized.
It is clear that deep inside him, there was something called a ‘conscience’ that he was unaware of.
Tears flowed down from Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
‘I can’t sing anymore… … .’
Of course, his labor is so valuable that it cannot be exchanged for gold. The problem is that the Namgung family’s wealth is so great that they can use gold as a rag to wipe their feet.
No matter how highly he thought of himself, Cheongmyeong couldn’t ask for too much money in exchange for touching up a few inspectors.
‘Death penalty! Long sentence death penalty! Today I finally realize what conscience is, death penalty!’
– Is that your conscience? You crazy bastard!
Oh, please be quiet for now!
Cheongmyeong took another deep breath and opened his mouth.
“If you give me that… … this… … this, how can I… … .”
“Huh? Is this it?”
When Namgung Do-wi asked again with a puzzled look, Cheongmyeong shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a crawling voice.
“Then, I’ll work… … .”
Later, Jo Geol recalled this scene as follows:
It was like the sun in the middle of the sky shrinking and the waters of Dongting Lake drying up, the world’s clearest light being suppressed by none other than money.
At that moment, Namgung Do-wi shook his head.
“That’s not it, Dojo. There’s too little money.”
“……yes?”
“Namgung’s life was saved. And now, isn’t he part of the same family as Cheon Woo-maeng?”
“That, that’s right… … ?”
“I will give you five-tenths of my wealth. Please use it as military funds for Cheonwoomaeng.”
Bam.
The ledger fell from Qingming’s hands.
Cheongmyeong’s chin trembled with a face like he had seen a ghost.
“Oh, oh… … . Oh, what? Oh… … what?”
“yes!”
Namgung Do-wi nodded with a firm face.
“I think it would be fine if you divided it appropriately. The Dojang’s share, Hwasan’s share, and Cheonwoomaeng’s share.”
“Are you really going to give me this? This?”
“Of course.”
Namgung Do-wi lightly tapped my chest.
“No matter how precious wealth is, it cannot compare to the grace of being saved. Please understand that we can only repay your kindness in this way.”
Cheongmyeong suddenly ran towards him and grabbed his hand.
“Oh, thank you! Thank you!”
“Do, Dojo! Why are you doing this? It’s nothing.”
Tears flowed down from Cheongmyeong’s eyes.
‘It’s nothing to you.’
thank god.
I’m really glad he’s an idiot.
Huh? That’s not stupid, that’s kind? That’s stupid.
“I am…….”
“yes?”
“I will give my all! I will do whatever it takes to make those Namgung Se-ga bastards act like humans! I will do my best!”
“… … .”
“certainly!”
“Go, thank you.”
At that time, Jo Geol, who had been watching quietly, whispered to Yoon Jong.
“Death penalty. The situation is a bit strange, but if you think about it, isn’t that like getting beaten up for money?”
“Shh. Be quiet.”
“… … .”
That day, Namgung Se-ga became Hwasan’s friend.
A true friend, whose friendship comes from the heart… … .
