Heavenly demon The head of the Demonic Cult.

The Demonic Sect is a group of strong self-esteem that purely worships Kang. So, the existence of the Heavenly demon naturally meant the strongest person there.

How did Kang Tae-han rise to that position?

In fact, when he first fell into martial arts, Kang Tae-han did not pay attention to martial arts. I can’t even take care of myself right now, so what kind of martial arts are you talking about?

That’s why he became a Murim.

It was only because the Moorim people were the only teachers who helped and reaped him when he was groveling like a beggar in an unfamiliar world.

Then he became the Heavenly Demon.

When the Munpa was exterminated and the teacher, who was a benefactor, was murdered, there was only the former Heavenly Demon behind the conspiracy.

revenge.

Since then, Kang Tae-han survived only for revenge, and did anything to survive.

He was the weakling, and the weak can’t cover the means. If killing was necessary, he killed without hesitation.

And when he finally finished it all.

He had become the new Heavenly Demon. That was all.

‘… I can’t do it twice.’

There were no regrets. Contrary to the popular teaching that ‘revenge is only bitter’, revenge was sweet.

… However, as the years pass, by the time your hair turns white.

A single word from the old master lingered in his heart.

‘You don’t have to live like a saint, but live a life where you can be appreciated by others’, that one word.

‘It was a teaching that Moorim did not follow.’

The Heavenly demon is a symbol of strength and fear.

At that time, I had already come a long way, and it was too late to turn around.

But now it’s different.

The remaining years and times are different.

If so, it would not be bad to walk the path of ‘a life in which you can receive gratitude’ as the old teacher taught.

‘… In a way, it’s like I accidentally put the first button on well.’

masseur.

Originally, in a situation where money was urgent, it was simply started for money. But now, it’s a little different.

Originally, his martial arts and related knowledge were polished only to harm others. I didn’t have to help anyone, and I couldn’t afford to.

However, being able to help someone with this and being thanked for it didn’t feel as bad as I thought. To be honest, I was pretty proud.

‘I don’t intend to become a saint, though.’

Make it your business to help someone.

If you can afford it, you can do good deeds if you can.

just that kind of life.

I don’t know yet if I’ll ever make this a career, but it wouldn’t hurt to take it more seriously.

With that thought in mind, Kang Tae-han moved on.

Kim Kwan-ho, manager of Cheonri Mulsan.

He was in a good mood these days. My body, which used to be heavy, became lighter, and I slept soundly every night and woke up refreshed, so I couldn’t feel bad.

“Director Kim, your face is clear these days, really?”

A bright expression with a smile without darkening.

I wondered what had happened to my complexion lately, but now I feel that I am full of motivation and passion. Even though I came out to play golf with my client on Sunday.

“Haha, thinking about going to a round with Managing Director Yu after a long time, why is my heart fluttering from the day before?”

“This person doesn’t even change his expression when he says something that won’t even work?”

“uh? Is it true?”

When Kim Kwan-ho spoke with exaggerated gestures, Yu waved his hands as if he was done.

“I know very well that you like me, so if there is something better for your body than that, let’s share it together. what are you eating? Or are you drinking?”

Managing Director Yoo imitated chopsticks and then passed a glass of soju. Kim Gwan-ho glanced around, covered one side of his mouth with his left hand, and spoke secretly.

“Neither one.”

“Then what? this won’t be… … .”

Yoo said, pretending to give an injection this time.

“Ah, what are you talking about?”

“I said it as a joke, but it looks like your tension is a little hit right now. I heard that it was dead until not too long ago.”

“It’s a mulberry… … .”

Kim Gwan-ho paused for a while, touching his chin.

“I’ve never been hit with mulberry, but when I first got it, it definitely felt like I was hit with mulberry. Of course, nothing was harmful to the body.”

“So what is it? Why do you keep blowing the wind?”

Yoo’s voice rose in response to Kim Gwan-ho’s lingering reaction. Kim Kwan-ho laughed haha and finally opened his mouth.

“No, an employee of the business I got to know this time introduced me to a massage shop, and the skill of one of the teachers there is no joke.”

“massage? What neighborhood are you in?”

“It was a massage shop attached to the sauna.”

“… In the sauna?”

At Kim Gwan-ho’s words, Yoo’s expression cooled. If it’s a massage shop attached to a sauna, it’s all there. Kim Kwan-ho shook his hand as if he knew that.

“This may not seem like much, but once you receive it, it is on a different level. I didn’t think much of it either, but as soon as I came out after receiving it, I made the next reservation.”

“… okay?”

“Because it is. Haven’t I been to massage parlors, sports massages, and Thai massages? But it is on a different level.”

It is a fact that Managing Director Yoo knows that Kim Kwan-ho has a good eye. If that’s what he says, then there must be something else.

“If you go that far, go next time.”

“Good! The sauna is ordinary, but it’s pretty neat, so it’s perfect for relaxing and coming out.”

Kim Kwan-ho said with a kind smile.

It was not too far in the future for Yoo to become one of Kang Tae-han’s regular customers.

Word of mouth doesn’t have a noticeable effect right away, but it’s a guy that has a slow and sure publicity effect.

Just as a recommendation from a local acquaintance is more trustworthy than dozens of restaurant reviews on the Internet right now.

Besides, there is even a chain reaction here.

Nam Woo-hyun brings Kim Kwan-ho, Kim Kwan-ho brings a new customer, and that customer becomes a regular and brings another customer.

And this phenomenon did not only apply to a few people, but was happening to the majority of customers who passed through Kang Tae-han’s hands.

“Father, you said that your back has been a little sick lately, right? I thought of a good massage shop this time… … .”

“Minsu’s mother says that one of the massage teachers there is really good at it. The nobleman over there says he has such a lot of energy these days.”

“I feel different when I wake up in the morning. Isn’t it a lie to say that you look ten years younger?”

Word of mouth that spreads from acquaintance to acquaintance.

As a result, Kang Tae-han’s premium course, which was mentioned before, was booming even before it started.

“… Didn’t you think you should have raised the price for this?”

Director Hwang tilted his head and spat out a small exclamation.

What appears on the screen in front of you is the reservation table for the artisanal course. The artisan course is a premium course that I mentioned before, and it is a service that is exclusively reserved for two massage therapists who have many regular customers and have good reviews.

However, the original price is the factor that has the greatest influence on consumer sentiment. That’s why I was very worried, and I couldn’t make a big impression… … .

‘It’s almost laughable that I was worried.’

Kang Tae-han’s reserved tickets were already tightly packed. In the preceding two weeks, there was only time left to avoid, such as commuting time, and even that was being filled one by one.

“I don’t think I set the price low… … .”

Director Hwang displayed another reservation table on the screen. It was a reservation ticket for Kim Seong-hoon, another masseuse with many regulars and good skills, who was in charge of the artisan course with Kang Tae-han.

However, compared to Kang Tae-han’s a little while ago, this place was filled up occasionally, but it was empty to the point of emptiness.

‘… no This is Taehan-san’s weird.’

Rather, it is closer to the reaction that Kim Seong-hoon expected. The artisan course starts next week, so how can it be that reservations are already filled? It’s just that Kang Tae-han’s reaction is so good that it makes no sense.

“By the way, Taehan-san, is your skill that good?”

Originally, the person with the best skills and the most customers in the shop was Kim Seong-hun. However, Kang Tae-han, who had just entered, quickly caught up, and now he has widened the gap.

At this point, I want to get a massage at least once.

When I suddenly recalled my memory, all the customers who came out after receiving Kang Tae-han’s massage had loose faces. Satisfaction is the overflowing feeling.

‘… I’m sorry to ask that, but.’

Director Hwang laughed as he rolled the mouse wheel.

Kang Tae-han comes out late in the morning and massages non-stop until the evening, and even so, there are so many customers that he has a backlog of reservations.

Wouldn’t you be sorry to ask someone like that to give you a massage for a while? Director Hwang grabbed his left shoulder and turned his head.

‘By the way, did I sleep wrong… … .’

My neck was stiff, as if I had a blockage, and it hurt when I bent down. It didn’t interfere with my work, but it was very uncomfortable to move without thinking and suddenly get sick.

The moment I was thinking about going to the sauna for a while when the counter staff goes to work… … .

“Oh, Chief Hwang. Did you go to work?”

“Five! Mr Taehan. Are you leaving after work?”

“Yes, if a guest arrives, please respond.”

Just in time, Kang Tae-han was on his way to the waiting room after finishing one project. He walked towards Chief Hwang as if he had suddenly discovered something.

“You seem to have slept a little strangely.”

“Uh, huh? no… Is it like that?”

“Did you even change the pillow, this one must be a bit uncomfortable.”

Chief Hwang reacted awkwardly as he was momentarily taken aback. Kang Tae-han, on the other hand, touched the lower left side of his neck and spoke in an insignificant voice.

“How do you know?”

“You can tell by pretending. The angle of the neck is different now.”

“Go, Angle?”

“Yeah, anyway, if you don’t mind, can I release you? It just takes a while.”

Kang Tae-han didn’t even listen to the answer and strode forward.

“It will take a while.”

“okay?”

“Yes, it’s as simple as this.”

“Then let me ask you a favor… … .”

As soon as Director Hwang answered, Kang Tae-han grabbed his left shoulder and neck. Then, between the muscles, the points where they were united were pressed with each thumb.

“Ugh… … ?”

In an instant, it felt like electricity was going through my body. My body shrank for a moment, but the next moment I felt strangely relaxed and relaxed. It’s a strange feeling, as if you’re leaning on it instead of being held by the neck.

By the time you gradually get used to the feeling.

“how about it.”

“… uh?”

Kang Tae-han, who had untied his hands before he knew it, was standing in front of him.

Director Hwang reflexively turned his neck and shoulders a couple of times. Far from stiffness, his movements were smoother and lighter than before, as if his muscles had been oiled. If I had to put this feeling in a common expression… … .

“… Are you cool?”

“Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me next time.”

Kang Tae-han smiled once and shook his hand as he entered the waiting room. Director Hwang turned his head and shoulders with a strange expression. It seemed like a lie that the wall had been stuck a while ago.

“Does this make sense?”

I looked at my watch and saw that less than a minute had passed. In the meantime, the wall that was stuck in my neck was released in an instant. It’s not a massage, it’s enough to believe it’s magic.

“… It deserves a lot of guests.”

It’s like this even for a short while, what would happen if I received this for tens of minutes? It was to the point where he wanted to receive a little more right now. Director Hwang, convinced, nodded his head alone.
