Chapter: 119

If they were the leader, there was no way they would turn down Ko Wanghur. But if this was who they were competing with, their chances of getting accepted to group were becoming slim.

The cadets then shouted their names and their clans. There were some from high-ranked clans like Ko Wanghur. Out of the sixteen of them, five were from high-ranked clans and eleven of them were from middle to low-ranked clans.

As the people turned to Yeowun and waited for his answer, Yeowun calmly said, “I first want to thank you for wanting to be in my group.”

Chun Yeowun bowed to them. All sixteen cadets then bowed back, astonished by his politeness and sincere movements.

“I want to bring up something first.”

They all focused as it seemed like Chun Yeowun was going to say something important.

“I am not only looking for members who will complete the third test with me.”

‘Huh?’

What did he mean? Some figured out what Chun Yeowun meant and began to frown.

“I am looking for allies who will walk alongside me on the perilous path within the cult.”

‘Wait... is he talking about the competition for the throne?’

They then realized what Chun Yeowun really was talking about. He was aiming to be the heir to the throne and was gathering allies.

‘Hmm.’

‘What should I do?’

They only wanted to pass the third test, but this was an entirely different issue. If they joined Chun Yeowun for the competition, it also meant that they would be facing the six clans.

‘They are afraid.’

Chun Yeowun also realized this. He spoke to the cadets.

“If you are with me, I don’t care where you are from. At the end of the path, the current clan rank or fame will not matter. I will change the basic foundation of our cult.”

The cadets were shocked. This was like a declaration of war against the six clans.

‘Is he crazy?’

Chun Yeowun’s path required power, but also formidable forces. It was like a bad gamble to be with Yeowun. Most of them were now thinking of giving up.

“Please be my ally and be the root of the new clans to the Demonic Cult. That is my condition.”

Chun Yeowun’s voice indicated that he was speaking with sincerity and truthfully. The cadets then began to show their rejection.

“I’m sorry, Prince. I just want to pass the third test.”

“I’m out.”

Most of the cadets then began declining the offer politely. Four of Yeowun’s members became shocked.

‘Oh, no...’

‘He could’ve just taken them in and told them later...’

But they also understood the risk involved in this.

“I’m sorry.”
