Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 58

Chapter 58

“Ah! Over here. That’s it. As expected, with your large build, you’re doing a fantastic job. Hey, hey! Don’t just use brute force, use your internal energy if you have to. That’s right. Good job, Vice Sect Leader. You’re definitely the best for the Vice Sect Leader position.”

“……”

“Why are you just standing there blankly? Don’t you see everyone working hard? Are you thinking of not even helping, being a freeloader who gets free meals and free training? If you want to act like a rich young master, go back to the Seokga Estate right now.”

“……”

“1st Unit Leader, Kang Yi-dong. The 1st Unit guys are weaker than the 2nd Unit? Aren’t you embarrassed in front of Sam-dong? Come on, cheer up. We’re doing all this to live a good life together, so work hard. You’re so slow. Tsk, tsk.”

“……”

“2nd Unit Leader, Kang Sam-dong. You’re maintaining an excellent attitude today. From now on, diligently move these timbers and tiles, and contribute to improving the financial soundness of the sect by saving as much labor cost as possible.”

“……”

“Everyone must be bewildered. You might not understand why the disciples have to do manual labor when we could just hire more workers. However, that’s a misconception, a rash thought, and a messed-up mindset. A true martial artist thinks about what they can do for the sect, rather than expecting something from it. Don’t even think about slacking off, work hard. As a side note, I’ll be selecting the slowest workers for night runs and night beatings.”

“……”

“And, you.”

“H, Hick!”

“Noh Ho-yeong, you tiger bastard. What are you doing just watching?”

“I…… What should I do, Sect Leader?”

“Just stick around somewhere and at least pretend to help. Or should I make you a cripple? Then you’ll be exempt from ‘labor’.”

“Ah…… No!”

From ordinary disciples and executives to freeloaders and even the sect’s ‘assets’.

I am assigning important tasks to everyone related to the Dawn Heaven Sect, except Master Dongbyeok, and supervising them.

First, I sold all the Dawn Heaven Sect buildings, which were divided into one main building and two annexes, and purchased the largest mansion with a garden in Chang’an.

The size of the newly purchased building was almost half the size of the Seokga Estate. Because it was the former residence of the governor from two generations ago, there was a flower garden on one side of the mansion, and a pine forest stretched out behind it, making it perfect for walks.

‘This spacious garden will be perfect for a training ground.’

Moreover, there were over ten detached houses. I plan to provide separate residences for So-yun and Ye-rin and create a space like a school where the Writing Teacher can educate them.

In addition, I also bought the surrounding farmland and a few small thatched houses that will be used for the Dawn Heaven Sect and my house in the future. I plan to renovate and expand them all to use as residences for the disciples. Because of this, all 100 workers and 20 disciples are currently sweating profusely in the middle of winter, engaged in hard labor.

‘Now it finally feels like a proper sect.’

Hmm……

Is this what it feels like to have a proud chest?

Anyway, it’s been almost a year since I entered Chang’an……

I have created something from nothing.

Thinking about it……

My actions are even baffling to myself.

From blindly selling elixirs in the marketplace with my four-year-old daughter on my back, to taking in the three Dongdong brothers, the troublemakers of Sodam Village, to wiping out the gangsters in Chang’an with them, to crushing the Green Gang leader, Boar.

And then, single-handedly destroying the Black Society and shutting down the Noh Family Assassin’s Guild with the help of Master Ju.

Even for me, who experienced all sorts of things in my past life, my actions after reincarnation have been shocking.

Moreover……

‘Sigh……’

In recent days.

I have been experiencing a rapid advancement in my martial arts.

It’s not that I’ve opened another ‘attribute’ of the Nature Meridian or that my martial arts philosophy has changed.

However, when I first reincarnated, my body was no different from an ordinary person, and I couldn’t even contain the full power of my true self. But through constant training and introspection, it has become stronger, tougher, and more adaptable. Now my body can manage the power of the Nature Meridian quite well.

‘Now it’s definitely……’

Time to accelerate my growth.

In my past life……

I threw my body into a sea of pain that ordinary people couldn’t even imagine, honing myself.

Especially after I was promoted to a first-class assassin, I endured hellish pain that even the executives were amazed by. That terrible ordeal only stopped when I became a ‘top-class assassin’ and had no rivals left.

Of course, that was also because I had so many missions that I lacked training time.

Anyway, I’m a man with the mental strength to enjoy the pain that comes from training that much.

After reincarnation, I refrained from such training because my body couldn’t handle it. But now that my body’s endurance has increased, I’ve gained the confidence to handle most training with mental strength and willpower.

‘First…… While I’m building up the sect…… I need to start properly training the kids.’

That’s why.

I’m going to train like crazy now.

Into the pain of burning flesh and exploding muscles.

Into the overload of internal energy where my internal organs twist and my vital energy flows backward.

Into the h*ll where my teeth grit and even my soul cries out……

I’m going to throw myself into it.

Of course……

“Sect Leader! It’s too hard, let’s rest for an hour. We may be martial artists, but the workers are ordinary people!”

“Let’s rest!”

“That’s right!”

Along with these ignorant, sometimes foolish, but incredibly obedient disciples who follow my words.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Phew! We’ve finally finished it.”

“Good work.”

“But, Sect Leader. What are you going to use this heavy steel equipment for?”

“I’m planning to use it as training equipment for the disciples.”

“Huh……! Are you saying you’ll have them train while wearing these steel bracelets and anklets?”

“That’s right.”

“Is this something a human can actually wear?”

“Make the impossible possible.”

“???”

“That’s the spiritual foundation of the Dawn Heaven Sect.”

“Ah!”

Two weeks ago……

I had just commissioned a job at the oldest blacksmith in Chang’an.

It was for the creation of steel bracelets and anklets for the disciples. Through these tools, the disciples would develop excellent muscles, endurance, stamina, and physical strength to run through the desert for two days and nights without rest.

The unfortunate part is that it would be best to craft these training bracelets and anklets with White Lotus Steel, Black Steel, or Black Iron. But if I wanted to do that, I’d have to become a millionaire right away, so I couldn’t help it.

For now, even with just this much, the disciples’ cries of pain would probably echo throughout Mount Guangyang, so I was somewhat satisfied.

“But…… Sect Leader.”

“Why?”

“How do you plan to carry all this steel?”

“How else would I carry it? I’ll just carry it.”

“Huh?”

At the blacksmith’s question, I lifted the pile of bracelets and anklets in a large iron basket.

‘……It is heavy.’

Indeed it was.

Fortunately, I had opened the power of the ‘Force’ attribute, so my strength wasn’t at a human level, and I could lift it without any problems. But if an average external martial arts expert tried to lift this, their back might break.

“My, my goodness! Sect Leader. How can you……”

The old blacksmith’s eyes widened like lanterns at the sight of me lifting the iron basket.

I winked at the old man and started walking at a leisurely pace.

What will the disciples think when they see this?

‘They’ll be very grateful, right?’

Hehe.

◈ ◈ ◈

“Daddy. Is this really our house?”

“Yes.”

“Wow……!”

Dawn Heaven Sect.

In the new house, which has become not just a sect but a place where So-yun and I eat, sleep, and live, So-yun exclaimed with wide eyes.

“Daddy. It’s s~~~o big!”

“I’ll buy all the neighboring land and expand it in the future, so you’ll live in a place like the imperial palace.”

Whether she understands or not.

I said that to So-yun.

But the funny thing is……

So-yun seems to have understood my words perfectly.

“Wow! Then Daddy has to make a lot of money, right?”

“Well…… They say making money is hard, but it’s not that hard for Daddy, so just wait a little.”

I looked around, leaving So-yun running around the new house.

This scale is much larger than the pavilion dedicated to the Assassin’s Guild Leader that I used in my past life. It felt surreal, as it was more than enough for the 20 or so disciples to live and train in.

“Sect Leader. Congratulations. It feels like just yesterday when you first arrived in Chang’an, but you’ve achieved great success in just one year. I can’t even imagine how much further you’ll go. Haha.”

At that moment, the Writing Teacher spoke to me with a pleased smile, gazing at So-yun’s back.

Come to think of it, I’ve been quite neglectful of the Writing Teacher.

As a father who entrusted his daughter to him, I haven’t even given him a word of encouragement, so he must have felt neglected, right?

“Teacher. Thank you.”

“Thank you? I should be the one thanking you.”

“Anyway, please take good care of So-yun next year as well.”

“Don’t worry, Sect Leader. I’ll do my best to teach her, and So-yun is such a genius that by next year, you’ll see her become smarter than most seven or eight-year-olds.”

“That’s a given.”

“???”

“At least ten years old. Make her capable of making judgments like a ten-year-old.”

“……”

While teaching the greatest genius of all time……

She should be at least twice as intelligent as her age.

He’s a teacher who receives a hefty salary.

“Ye-rin.”

I then called Ye-rin, who was amazed as she looked around the new house.

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

“Your initial goal was to open a small restaurant in Chang’an. I can give you that money right away. However, if you leave, I’ll have to hire a housekeeper to take care of So-yun, and it won’t be easy to find a talent like you.”

That’s right.

I remember what Ye-rin said when she first came as a housekeeper.

Ye-rin clearly said that her lifelong dream was to open a small restaurant.

Considering how Ye-rin has taken care of So-yun for the past year or so, there’s no reason why I can’t give her that money.

“Sect Leader.”

“Speak.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t leave.”

“Why?”

“Opening a restaurant is good, but…… Is it because living here is better?”

“Be more specific.”

“Sect Leader, thanks to you, I’m currently managing over ten middle-aged men and kitchen maids. Where else could a lowly person like me work with such treatment?”

Come to think of it.

Currently, all the handymen and kitchen maids doing chores at the Dawn Heaven Sect are managed by Ye-rin, and she even pays their monthly salaries.

In a way, Ye-rin is like the general manager of our house.

“Most importantly, I like So-yun. Besides, I can also learn academics under the Writing Teacher…… and……”

“And?”

“I like you too, Sect Leader.”

Ye-rin blushed slightly, as if she was embarrassed to say she liked me to my face.

Except for So-yun, Ye-rin is a child who doesn’t express her emotions well…… She’s like a wooden doll, so she must have mustered a lot of courage to say that much.

“Alright. Then, Writing Teacher, and Ye-rin. Let’s all get along well in the new year.”

I patted both of them on the shoulders and looked around to find Master Dongbyeok.

Soon, Master Dongbyeok’s figure came into view as he walked around, attaching strange pieces of paper to various parts of the Dawn Heaven Sect.

“Master. What are you doing?”

“Ah, Sect Leader. Don’t talk to me. When performing the art of inscription, you have to concentrate and pray with all your heart and soul, so I need to focus.”

“Huh?”

“Hey! I told you not to talk to me.”

What the……

I was speechless, so I spoke to Master Dongbyeok again, as if defying him.

“No, I’m asking what you’re doing.”

“Can’t you see? I’m performing the art of illusion!”

“???”

“This is not just the Dawn Heaven Sect, but also the place where our So-yun will live. I’m taking measures to prevent any wicked and evil things in the world from entering this house, so don’t disturb me!”

Sigh……

I’m also a bit extreme when it comes to So-yun, but.

There’s no stopping that old man.
