Chapter 130
The King of Power Confronts the Madmen 2
Kwangshin, Kwangwang, Kwangma, and Cheolmyeongho gathered.
If one were to attach the character for madness to Cheol Myeong-ho, Mad Fox (狂狐) would be fitting. Remove the suffixes added to the nicknames—god, king, demon, fox—and the pure character for madness remains.
What exactly is madness?
It signifies madness.
It also refers to a particular inability to discern right from wrong.
It also encompasses straying from common norms and rules.
Recklessness that goes too far, arrogance that pierces the heavens—these too belong to the realm of madness.
Thus, the simple word “madness” encompassed a multitude of meanings.
Humans are inherently complex beings with intricate mental worlds, and some live steeped in madness.
This is because of their stories.
The story of Danwooseong, who experienced death and reincarnation; the story of Cheolmyeongho, the insignificant gambling den owner; and the story of Kwangshin, who endured life dreaming of bloody revenge—each story intertwined with their respective natures, steering their lives toward madness.
Of course, the Mad Demon’s nature was no different.
Thus, as the four silently sized each other up, they realized these bastards were utterly insane.
‘This one and that one—they’re all madmen.’
That was their shared sentiment.
Cheolmyeongho spoke.
“He looks like a real troublemaker at first glance, Master.”
With Gwangshin by his side, Cheolmyeongho had no one to fear lately. Day by day, he was becoming a master of blunt speech.
