“Also, the assistant must work closely with Director Bang, so it’d be a plus to have someone well acquainted with him. To summarize, this assistant must be strong enough to create new martial arts but also…”

“Stop right there,” said Kang Jin-Ho.

As long as one wasn’t an idiot, they should be able to figure the answer out from all the clues Wiggins left behind. And Kang Jin-Ho was not an idiot.

He pointed to himself while frowning slightly. “...It’s me, isn’t it?”

“Oooh!” Wiggins’ face brightened, and he tried to applaud… Only to pout while lowering his hand. “Kuh-hum. I hope my prosthetic arm arrives soon…! In any case, quite excellent, my lord. You’ve perfectly read my mind.”

Kang Jin-Ho tutted. Only a kindergartner would’ve failed to get the hint. He frowned and made his unwillingness known. “Why should I even do that?”

“There are three reasons, sir,” Lee Hyeon-Su immediately started explaining, “Firstly, because you\'re the only person who can do it, sir. Secondly, we urgently need to settle the sense of loss, the deprivation, felt by the established martial artists of the Assembly and the Yeongnam Group. And a new cultivation method opening the path to even greater strength could be the ticket for that. Finally, the third reason. And this is the most crucial one, Assembly Master.”

Kang Jin-Ho cocked an eyebrow. “And what will that be?”

“This cultivation method will become your gift to the Assembly, sir. Here’s the best chance to stop others from complaining even if you freeze everyone’s wages for the next ten years.”

“…!”

This guy, he… He was truly vile!

Unfortunately, Lee Hyeon-Su wasn\'t joking. He was dead serious! Even though the Assembly\'s finances should be healthier than ever…!

Kang Jin-Ho couldn’t understand why this guy was so obsessed about money like this. Did the god of avarice sneak into the empty hole where Lee Hyeon-Su’s heart should be?

“That is why! Assembly Master! Please consider!”

“Yes, my lord! Please decide!”

Kang Jin-Ho wordlessly turned his head and stared at the distant skies above.

“Sir. I beg your forgiveness for bringing you news of such ill nature. Groups of enemies dared to sully the cult\'s territory with their dirty feet. I\'m fully aware of how shameful it is to request your great and all-conquering strength for something so minor, but… To minimize losses to the cult, we must beg you for your unparalleled strength once more. I shall repent this sin thousands, nay, millions of times. But I beg of you not to ignore this old man\'s ardent pleading.”

Kang Jin-Ho sighed loudly.

‘You really were an angel compared to these people, Azure Demon.’

Azure Demon back then trembled like a sinner before God, even though all he did was plead with Kang Jin-Ho to step up once more and stop the invasion of the orthodox faction\'s great army.

Now that Kang Jin-Ho had the time to look back, he realized how considerate Azure Demon had been toward him.

...And now, Kang Jin-Ho was getting his just desserts for all the things he did to Azure Demon!

“My lord?”

“Assembly Master? Pretty please? Sir~?”

Kang Jin-Ho squeezed his eyes shut and groaned. “Fine. I’ll do it.”

“You made the correct choice, my lord.”

“Yeees!”

Even though he was now living in modern-day South Korea, Kang Jin-Ho still found himself paying for the sins he committed way back in ancient Zhongyuan.
