125 episodes. Did it happen by chance?
Bang Won-ryang said to Du Mun-jeong as if it was ridiculous.
“Did you give up? It seems like it will be difficult to defeat the great king, so let’s laugh and move on?”
“I hope it is possible.”
“Then what is it? Sending out a racehorse that has just turned 3 years old with no winning history as a rival of the great king? That’s a word with the same meaning.”
“It’s a coincidence that the names have the same meaning, and it’s true that Hellmaster is the antagonist.”
“So, this is what you said to win?”
“Of course.”
“under!”
He was so shocked that he didn’t seem to be able to speak.
Seeing him like that, Tsumei asked again.
“I don’t have a racing history in Hong Kong, so I guess it’s imported?”
“It’s an invitation, not an income.”
“So you mean you didn’t even train at HKJC?”
“Yeah, I arrived in Hong Kong three weeks ago. Anyway, because of quarantine, I was in quarantine for two weeks.”
“Ho ho ho ho ho.”
Tsumei couldn’t help the laughter that escaped.
“Doo-sook, please return your HKJC membership after today’s race is over. Does that make sense? It’s only been a week to prepare for the competition with inviting horses that are no different than gods. What’s the difference between giving up and giving up?”
“Do you really think you gave up? You wouldn’t have known that in horse racing, even Shin horses can beat champion horses.”
“There’s a degree to that. I’ve only played this once before debuting. I’m the last.
Du Mun-jung and Yang A-kwan looked rather happy at her tongue-in-cheek attitude.
As if waiting for such a reaction.
“It was difficult for the two presidents to invite him, Tsumei. It was hard to choose between horses that are not from HKJC and are not famous horses with a history of winning overseas.”
“What do you mean, Yang-suk? So, did you choose these words on purpose?”
“Who said that. There is a saying called underdog. It means to cheer and support the weak more than the strong. The audience who came to Shatin today will all pay attention to the Hellmaster.”
“Ho-ho-ho, that’s why you deliberately chose the underdog?”
“You chose a horse that looks like the weak, not the weak. Being an underdog is just directing, and the important thing is to win.”
Bang Won-ryang accepted the word with a grin.
“Are you talking about making a movie with the clowns, and you’re even talking about directing to a position like this? That’s a great sense of professionalism.”
“Professionalism. I don’t know about those who work on drugs or prostitution.”
“Are you telling me to listen to that now?”
“Isn’t your business a casino? Is there anything that sticks out?”
Bang Won-ryang clenched his fists and trembled at Yang Ah-gwan’s provocation.
But I had to be patient.
It was because some could not get out of the fence of the Triad, but the influence of the organization itself was not within the scope of good faith.
‘Leave it. Because one day I will crush your face with your helper.’
Bang Won-ryang let out a nervous self-talk.
“By the way, when the hell do you start?”

ordering stand.
In athletics terms, this is the starting line.
The racehorses have a process of getting used to the eyes and shouts of the spectators by walking with their jockeys from the waiting horse room to there before the game.
However, one of them stood tall and stared at the audience while it was heading towards the ordering table.
about 7 seconds.
It was a short time, but it seemed to appeal to me as if to take a good look at me.
Hellmaster is not as big as the other runners, but at that moment it was different.
It was because he had the impression that he looked bigger than any other horse during those seven seconds.
“I’m thrilled.”
Tranus looked at him and made a happy expression.
“Are you that good?”
“Anyway, didn’t you just see him? He must have known I was here and looked after me. He’s a smart guy.”
oops, please
A horse’s visual field of recognizing space is close to 360 degrees, but its visual acuity is lower than that of humans.
I can’t see it up to here.
“Yes, yes. I want to win because it is in front of my master.”
“But is that guy over there saying he’s the Macau representative?”
Tranus asked, pointing to the dark brown racehorse.
Interestingly, the mane was bright tan in contrast to the fuselage.
“That’s right. Jackin No. 2, King. It stands out because of the grind.”
“Are those words that strong?”
“They say there is no match in Macau, and they say that they have won the G1 in Japan.”
“Hmm, no matter how hard the triad fights, it’s odd that you played in Japan’s G1, not Hong Kong, which is like next door.”
“Maybe it’s because of this?”
I showed the pedigree of the Myeongwang listed in the horse racing information magazine.
“You said you inherited the lineage of Sunday Silence? Heh heh…”
It is not unreasonable that Tranus is surprised.
Sunday Silence is a famous horse that has put Japanese horse racing in its current position.
For reference, this means that Dark Star has won two of the triple crowns in the United States.
“I think I have a deep connection with Japan. According to Yang, Hwaseunghwa has a connection with the Japanese Yakuza.”
“So, the word Macau representative means that you are of Japanese descent and have a history of winning the G1. What is your type?”
“It’s the exact opposite of Hellmaster. They say it’s a good horse, especially a runaway horse.”
good deed and run away.
They are similar, but there are some differences.
The horse that turns one corner the fastest is usually called the leading horse, but it is said that the will of the horse is broken when the lead is lost.
He gave up on the race because he didn’t like being hit by sand from the rear as well as the psychological problems.
“Fuhahaha, I wasn’t a famous king, I was a coward.”
“Still, they say they’ve never been overtaken. The record is undefeated.”
“That’s because I couldn’t meet the right owner. Today, the real face of a coward will be revealed, huh.”
When Tranus grinned, I looked at the ordering table with nervousness inside.
Carlson boasted that he could win unconditionally, but it was because the great king belonged to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place of the day, which he confirmed with his abilities.
Three horses in a flock of lights.
-HK, King.
-OZ, Hellmaster.
-FR, Ethernel Bijou.
Among them was today’s winner.
-Taang.
At that moment, the ordering table opened and a contest of twelve began.
The leader is also the king.
Like a runaway horse, he took the lead with an exquisite start and widened the distance.
I drank a whopping 5.
By creating a difference between the leader group and the 5 demons from the beginning, the production was created as if the king was showing overwhelming performance.
“Young friend, no matter how medium-distance it is, isn’t it too slow paced?”
Does anyone know if you ask me?
Actually, I’m bored too.
Contrary to the Great King, the Hellmaster was at the very end, at the very end, and was slowly following him.
“You must have an idea. Believe and watch.”
He said that, but the difference from the Great King was a whopping 10 demons.
Carlson didn’t raise the pace until he turned the third corner.
Meanwhile, the lieutenant and the lead group started spurting to catch the great king.
The difference of 5 demons seemed to be a burden.
“Young friend, it’s not moving yet. Is there something wrong with the Hellmaster?”
No, no.
Hellmaster’s body, seen through clairvoyance, was intact.
“We’ll move soon. We’ll keep an eye on it.”
But even into the fourth corner, Carlson wasn’t spurting.
“Isn’t it too much waiting?
At that time, when the corner ended and the road went straight, I saw Carlson’s intentions.
Sha Tin Racecourse has an incredibly long straight track that stretches out enough to use a 1,000-meter sprint as a straight track.
A whopping 5 furlongs is the best straight line for a racehorse to speed up.
And today’s track goes around the last 4 corners and 3 furlongs are distributed in a straight line.
I was able to run 600 meters straight ahead without impeding my speed in the corners.
‘I was planning to catch all of them on the last straight course where the pace of King Myeong fell.’
The question is, does Hellmaster’s stamina hold up to 3 furlongs?
However, maybe my worries were inadvertent, the Hellmaster ran 1 furlong in 7 seconds, as if setting a timer, and continued to pour.
‘Wow, it must be hell for the horses in front. How did you get rid of it so quickly?’
Indeed, he showed the overwhelming ability to be worthy of the name of the Lord of Hell.
And one last furlong.
The Hellmaster with a reddish-brown body and a waving black mane crossed the finish line, standing side by side with the leading king.
“Young friend, I got it! I got it! Who would win? It must be our Hellmaster, right?”
“Of course. Didn’t you see it last time?”
“What do you mean?”
“As soon as the king catches up, he bows his head.”
The typical weakness of Dojuma, the glass mentality, was revealed.
On the other hand, I could see the Hellmaster sticking his head out and showing his fighting spirit.
“Uh-huh, you cut your tail as soon as you’re caught. You’re a coward after all.”
“Ah, there’s a picture on the billboard over there.”
I smiled as I watched the finish line.
‘It’s just one head. I don’t know who has superpowers.’
On the track, Carlson, who had crossed the finish line, looked at me and raised his fists.

“……!!”
Bang Won-ryang and Tsu-mei had their faces rotted as soon as the winning results were announced by the association.
It was because the result of the final competition was, contrary to expectations, the defeat of the Ming King.
“Uhhh, it’s just amazing!”
Yang A-kwan let out a cool laugh as if a sick tooth had fallen out.
“My friend, my heart was pounding. No, who knew I would be in the bottom place by the time I turned four corners? To catch them all at once on a straight line. Whoa, my heart still trembles.”
“Hey, what kind of cruelty to put in front of people who lost. It was a double play that would only happen in a movie, so enjoy the result, hahaha.”
“Is it that good?”
“Anyway, that’s it. You’re watching horse races for fun. Isn’t that right, Chief Bang Bang, Tsumei?”
The two of them had no choice but to close their molars and watch Yang Ah-gwan’s generosity.
Because losers have no words.
“Why don’t you tell me something? Whether you admit defeat or make excuses. If you’re going to be so dumb, why are you here?”
“Damn! Yeah, I lost. I lost! Is it cool to hear that?”
“Heh, if it had been the other way around, wouldn’t you have been like this too. Am I wrong?”
It’s childish, but there’s nothing more effective at scratching your opponent’s stomach than convincing him to admit defeat.
“How the hell did you get that word? What else was unknown to that skill?”
Du Mun-jeong answered Tsumei’s question.
“That’s the strength of HKJC, Tsumei. It’s good to receive and raise an excellent lineage like a king, but didn’t Hong Kong horse racing improve its competitiveness by selecting excellent race horses by importing foreign horses rather than breeding them. The level of global network is different from Macau.”
“……”
When she shut her mouth again, A-gwan Yang smiled and continued.
“It doesn’t make sense for Macau to try to compete with Hong Kong with horse racing. From now on, I’ll think about it and bet on the game. It’s enough to show the enthusiasm of youth once.”
“Then why don’t we try one more time with Macau’s pride? Then wouldn’t it make sense?”
Bang Won-ryang asked Yang A-gwan as if provoking.
“Hmm, let’s fight again? From their point of view, winning is the main battle, and losing a lot of face will be cut.”
“That’s our case.”
“Anyway, I’m the type of person who can’t live without losing.”
“So will you do it or not?”
“You know that it can’t just be right? It’s impossible unless a suitable stage is prepared.”
It was an implicit promise between factions that this kind of clash would not be allowed except for an official external event.
“The international poker tournament will be held in Macau next month. How about there?”
“Is there such a thing? Why didn’t we know?”
“It’s a competition that is held only for VVIPs. Only those who know know.”
“Is such a competition being held right now, at this point?”
It could not have happened without having to prepare ahead of time with defeat in mind.
“Did it happen by chance?”
