Chapter 1370. Proving (5)
As he took in the sight of a feast on the table, Lee Hyeon-Su’s expression was weird, to say the least.
This doesn’t quite feel right, now does it?
He wasn’t worried about the food being poisoned, of course. And no, he wasn’t worried about the lack of hygiene in the surroundings, either.
One of the beggars politely said, “Although our preparations have been sorely lacking, three of our generations will be honored even if you only take a small bite, my liege.”
Lee Hyeon-Su’s current issue was the appearance of the polite people before his eyes. It felt like he and his companions had intruded upon the local beggars’ hideout to steal what little food they had left!
Besides all that. Why haven’t I thought of this before?
These beggars actually were members of the demon cult, “low-class” citizens deemed no better than trash collectors by the rest of the Chinese martial world.
A large number of cult believers followed Chang Min and Kang Jin-Ho to South Korea, but an even higher number had to stay behind in China. These people couldn’t overcome the reality called their advanced ages and the welfare of their family members. All they could do was swallow their tears of regret and disappointment while watching their brethren travel to South Korea for a new future.
Here they were, the remnants of the demon cult, still eking out a living in China! These people had come together to assist Kang Jin-Ho and Co. today.
Gee whiz. This feels so weird, doesn’t it?
The cult believers behaved as if they were talking to their great-great-grandfather or something. Of course, Lee Hyeon-Su didn’t need long to figure out why these people were so excessively polite. Technically speaking, wasn’t Kang Jin-Ho older than their great-great-grandfather by some margin?
Even if the actual great-great-grandfathers had shown up, they would still have to kowtow and pay respect to Kang Jin-Ho!
