Chapter: 1013
It was because of those people who were eating under the canopy.
They were all wearing red robes with the word ‘Demon’ written on them and anyone could tell that they were people of the Demonic Cult.
It has been a month since the opening of the Demonic Cult’s new branch, but people were still afraid of them because of the preconceived notions.
It was a natural reaction since it had been under the domain of Yulin for several years.
“Ugh, they can just come and eat. I don’t understand what they are trying to avoid?”
A young man in a purple hood lightly shook the glass of wine. It was Hu Bong.
As he grumbled, people would get close, but when they would see the members of the cult looking at them, they would run away in fear.
Tak!
‘Is he asking because he really doesn’t know?’
The waiter put the additional ordered food on the table while cursing the members of the cult inwardly.
It was lunchtime, but the food house, which was normally filled with customers and overflowing orders, was completely barren.
‘If you are so concerned about the reason, find some other place to eat!’
He didn’t have the courage to say it out loud, so he just put down the food and quietly went in.
Ko Wanghur, the muscular young man, spoke to Hu Bong, who was shoving a piece of sushi into his mouth.
“It will take some time for them to get used to it. Still, this is a lot better than at the beginning, isn’t it?”
When the branch was first opened, the people would avoid the members of the cult. They would even refuse to meet their eyes as if they were seeing a ghost or a monster.
However, after a month, their actions seemed to have eased down.
“It is, but... tch, I still think that it’s a long way off from what it is supposed to be.”
It didn’t seem right.
“Hahaha, Hu Bong, you are being too greedy. How is it possible to change the perception about us, which had been built over hundreds of years, in a mere 30 days?”
Tap! Tap!
Sama Chak, who was sitting on the opposite side of Hu Bong, tried to explain it.
As he said, it was indeed difficult to change the perception of people who were constantly being fed with wrong information.
Therefore, the people belonging to the Demonic Cult’s branch were working hard in many ways to change the perception.
“Besides, thanks to the reputation of our Lord, there are 100 new members in this month only. Wasn’t that enough publicity already? Don’t worry too much.”
“Those were all martial arts students.”
Those newly admitted to the academy weren’t ordinary people.
They were all wandering martial arts rogues who applied for admission into the Demonic Academy after hearing about Chun Yeowun’s rise to the Divine Master level and the battle in Jin Castle.
Chun Yeowun’s face as one of the five strongest warriors skyrocketed in the entire Wulin.
As rumors spread about the change in the state religion and humiliation endured by the Yulin in the Jin Castle, the words that the Demonic Cult’s Lord might end up conquering the entire Wulin spread, which made independent and non-famed martial arts people who didn’t belong to any clan began to show up.
