The three gangsters regained their consciousness. They couldn't comprehend their surroundings. It was dark outside. The senior one forced himself to wake up and cleared his vision. He realized that they were inside the factory and his subordinates were in the process of waking up. He pondered about everything that happened before they lost consciousness.
Soon they realized that someone had attacked their neck and instantly they fell unconscious. Why did that mysterious man do this?
The silent one asked, "Did he do purposely? Why did he have to hide his location and identity when he was ultimately going to join us?" Both of them looked at the senior one. The senior said, "Maybe right now, he is not sure about our credibility and wanted to check everything first?" the three of them found this believable and went to their base.
While traveling back, the senior one searched for his phone, it was still intact but was switched off. He sighed in relief and turned on the mobile to inform their boss.
When the three of them reached their basement, a guard at the door informed them to go to the main room. They went to the main room and saw three people waiting for them with cold faces.
Their main boss was sitting on the wheelchair with closed eyes, Python was standing behind him with his fists clenched and the old man was sitting on the sofa, quietly sipping his tea.
The senior greeted, "Boss." The other two did the same. Python said in his cold voice, "Spit out everything." The senior one nodded and told everything. Python and the boss didn't believe it at first but when they came to know that the tall person neither used his full strength nor destroyed their phones so they believed in it.
The quiet one said, "Boss, he also thinks that the doctor is not the Demon Lord. He said that he will research on his own and join us. But I don't understand… why did he make us unconscious?"
The old man who was quiet till now finally opened his mouth, "Because, for the whole time, he was deceiving you." Everyone got confused. Even the main boss, Director Kim who was sitting in the wheelchair believed that the tall man might be wanted to help them. He asked, "Why do you think?"
The old man kept his cup down, took his wooden stick and got up with help of that. he started telling them while pacing in the room, "The very first point, it was your people who lacked in front of him. They were knocked down just within five moves. It was true that he didn't use his full strength but it was not because he wanted to test you, he just doesn't NEED to use his full ability."
Boss Kim clenched his fists said, "So he indirectly lied to gain their trust." The old man smirked and nodded. The guard quickly defended themselves, "But it is sure that he wasn't there to save that girl. He was speaking indifferently about her. Also, he knows many things about us and wanted to get more information about the Demon Lord. If he was The Lion's member, they would have at least shown some desperate attitude, but he didn't."
The old man laughed and replied with a cold face, "They were all mind games." All of them got the point.
He continued, "He must have controlled his emotions very smartly and acted as if nothing matters to him. He also must have lied about his need for help. He offered to help us first so that you would believe him and start spilling out the truth. These psychological tricks were even used in ancient times to get the inform…" he paused and realized something.
He asked Python at the very next moment, "Are you sure that he was not Wang Lufan?" Python got confused and replied, "Of course, Wang Lufan and this tall man have different physiques. Also, Wang Lufan's eyes were brown colored and that man had black eyes."
The old man thought, 'That over smart Crown Prince was best at war strategies. He had trained his guards and spies personally. That tyrant was also as good as him, but he used to prefer attack strategy rather than such method. Even if I don't want to, I do admit that they both were the best warriors of that era. This psychological strategy… was definitely come through Crown Prince's mind. What if this Wang Lufan, only has the same face of that Crown Prince and not the reincarnation of him…?'
The old man asked, "Boss, can I have the file of Wang Lufan?" Boss Kim nodded and signaled Python. Python took out the file and passed it to the old man.
Boss Kim asked, "What do you think? Who was he?" The old man caressed his beard with his crooked fingers and said, "Since he was not Wang Lufan, I guess he was the Demon Lord's subordinate or maybe Wang Lufan's subordinate."
One guard among the three asked, "But there is no way that Demon Lord would know about our plan. We only leaked it to that doctor." Boss Kim also agreed and looked at the old man. The old man replied, "What if Demon Lord is keeping an eye on us? He might be following our every activity and he can do it, after all, he was once the King of the Underworld."
While saying this, the old man suddenly thought about the Tyrant, 'Wait… Why does this kid, Demon Lord seems similar to that Tyrant Jun? Both of them have the same personality, cold-blooded! He was ruthless to his enemies and even to his consort. Right! Even if this Demon Lord doesn't look like Emperor Jun, I am sure that he is the reincarnation of that tyrant.'
Boss Kim asked, "What happened? Do you want to say something?" The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any information about that Tyr… Demon Lord?"
Boss Kim sighed and said, "We only have information about his works. Apart from being a part of The Lion's group at a very young age, we don't have any information. No one knows the face behind the mask. I heard that after him, many people tried to be like him, but no one could impose his personality."
The old man creased his forehead and said, "Then it is difficult to find him unless he himself decides to rejoin the underworld." Boss Kim nodded.
The old man thought, 'This is not done. Anyways, I have to find both the young girl and that tyrant for my mission. I need both of them else it wouldn't work! Till that demon lord comes, I have to confirm that this girl is really that stupid princess.'
He took the file and asked for Su Yeon's file. Python gave him after Boss Kim gave the permission. He took both the files and bid farewell, "If there is nothing, I will excuse myself. Also, teach your guards some basic mind tactics. At this rate, you will lose every secret of our clan." He bowed and left with the help of his wooden stick.
Boss Kim glared at the three guards and commanded, "Python, send for training once again and this time, increase the difficulty level." Python replied, "Yes boss," and took three of them out. he was also feeling ashamed of running away from that tall man.
Thud! Boss Kim punched the table in front of him, "This Kid! He is getting on my nerves! He must have wanted to check whether I am alive or not..."
