【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 134】

134. Spear Against Spear (1)

“Catalina Blaga…?”
Kwon Han-ul muttered in surprise. The situation left him no choice but to be astonished.
“That’s why I told you to stay at the Mansion. You wandered around needlessly and took forever to find me.”
Catalina Blaga rebuked Kwon Han-ul. Internally, he found it absurd. Why should he be scolded by this woman?
“A most distinguished guest has graced us with their presence.”
At that moment, Kwon Chan-seong spoke. His demeanor appeared remarkably composed despite standing before the true power of the Blaga Family.
“Though it seems you’ve arrived rather late. What will you do if the entire family is destroyed before you even show your face?”
“I can’t greet a guest bare-faced, can I? I was delayed preparing myself.”
“I cannot fathom why you would waste time on such pointless matters.”
A sneer played across Kwon Chan-seong’s lips.
“After all, you’re a person who will die soon anyway.”
“How terrifying. Now that I have nothing to lose, listen to how blunt you’ve become.”
Catalina Blaga laughed in kind as she spoke.
“To be honest, I was quite surprised. I anticipated that your side wouldn’t remain idle. But I never expected you to move this quickly.”
“My father is not a man who postpones matters.”
Kwon Chan-seong spoke with his chin raised. A subtle pride emanated from his words.
“But the method is rather crude. How do you intend to handle Chairman Kwon Seon-woo’s rage?”
“I’ve already thought it through, so there’s no need for concern.”
Kwon Chan-seong turned his head to look at Kwon Han-ul as he spoke.
“The lead actor in this scenario is my younger brother here, Kwon Han-ul.”
“What an honor that is.”
Kwon Han-ul retorted with irritation. Kwon Chan-seong continued without regard.
“My younger brother was kidnapped by the Blaga Family. Catalina Blaga subjected him to endless psychological torture in an attempt to seduce him. But my brother endured it all. Until I arrived.”
Excellent work. The pride and integrity befitting the Heukcheon Bloodline.
Kwon Chan-seong nodded and continued.
“But what can be done? By the time I rescued my brother, the aftereffects of the torture had already shattered his mind. I have no choice but to return to the family with my brother, now a broken shell of a man.”
“How generous of you to spare my life.”
Kwon Han-ul spoke with mockery in his voice. Then Kwon Chan-seong smiled wickedly. It was a deeply unpleasant smile.
“Brother, you didn’t listen to me properly. In this scenario, you must become an idiot.”
Kwon Chan-seong tapped his own head with his finger.
“Don’t worry about how you’ll become one. I have considerable skill in rupturing only the internal organs while leaving the skin intact. Using the same technique on the brain alone means my brother won’t have to die.”
He would keep him alive and take him back.
Only with his brain destroyed, reduced to a living corpse incapable of anything.
“I find this scenario quite disagreeable.”
“I’m disappointed that you dislike the lead actor. But your brother has no authority to make revisions.”
“The Chairman would have seen through such a crude scheme immediately.”
“A fair point. But brother, it’s impossible to completely deceive the Chairman anyway. What I’m trying to do is….”
“Manipulate the situation so that even if he finds out, he can’t pin anything on you.”
Catalina Blaga suddenly spoke. Kwon Chan-seong turned to look at her and asked.
“How did you know?”
“I’ve had similar thoughts recently. It seems we share some common ground. Though I can’t say I’m thrilled about it.”
Catalina Blaga removed the cardigan draped over her shoulders and began rolling up her sleeves one by one.
“Catalina Blaga. You’re not seriously thinking of fighting me, are you?”
“Why ask the obvious? He’s a man I’ve actually taken a liking to. I can’t let him become a fool.”
Kwon Chan-seong let out a hollow laugh as if he found it absurd.
“Stupid woman. Can’t you read the situation? Look around you. What’s become of your family?”
Buildings crumbled to ruins, and countless bloodline members and retainers lay slain.
Even as he spoke, destruction and slaughter continued unabated.
“If your family is finished, you should flee with whatever servants remain. What? You can’t abandon Kwon Han-ul?”
His hollow laugh eventually erupted into raucous laughter.
“For centuries you’ve thrown yourself at any man without discrimination, and now you act like this? Behave like the whore you are.”
“For someone raised so delicately, your language is quite crude.”
Despite the harsh insults that followed, Catalina Blaga showed no particular reaction.
“And I think you’re misunderstanding something.”
There was good reason for her composure.
“The family is ruined? Buildings can be rebuilt. Your words are too harsh.”
“Destroyed buildings can be, certainly. But your family members who are dead….”
At that moment, Catalina Blaga held out the cardigan she had folded neatly behind her.
A man then appeared from thin air and received the cardigan.
“It’s something I treasure. You need to take good care of it. Understood, K?”
“I shall obey your command.”
Kwon Chan-seong’s pupils dilated.
Chris Ben, whom he had killed by rupturing his heart, stood before him completely unharmed.
“How is this possible….”
Kwon Chan-seong’s eyes wavered.
K’s chest was drenched in blood, and the wounds from being pierced remained visible.
Yet K was alive and well.
“You seem to have forgotten. Our Blaga Family is renowned not only for illusions but also for regenerative abilities.”
“I definitely ruptured that bastard’s heart. Even for a bloodline retainer, surviving such a critical wound should be impossible.”
“That’s what everyone believes.”
Catalina Blaga shrugged her shoulders.
“We deliberately spread the word that bloodline retainers have diminished regenerative abilities. That way, everyone would let their guard down.”
True to her words, Kwon Chan-seong had failed to properly understand the regenerative capabilities of bloodline retainers, and thus had not killed K with certainty.
Thanks to this, despite the overwhelming difference in power, K was able to survive and return.
“By now, all the bloodline members and servants who were collapsed should have revived.”
Only the building was destroyed.
The Blaga Family’s bloodline members—most of their servants—were still alive.
“Ha….”
Kwon Chan-seong let out a hollow laugh, as if exasperated.
“It’s pointless. No matter what, the gap between my unit members and the Blaga Family is insurmountable.”
Even if a rabbit were resurrected a hundred times, it could never defeat a lion.
Similarly, no matter how astonishing the regenerative power of the Blaga Family’s servants was, fighting against the Black Flag Unit was impossible.
“If they don’t die even when their hearts burst, I’ll tear off their heads. If they still don’t die, I’ll burn their entire bodies.”
It wasn’t a threat.
Kwon Chan-seong was the commander of the Black Flag Unit. Because of that, he knew the nature of the Black Flag Unit members better than anyone.
An ability to regenerate even after having their hearts torn out?
It was surprising, but the Black Flag Unit members had fought countless beings far more formidable than that. They would quickly devise and execute a countermeasure.
“Who said we’d fight?”
At that moment, Catalina Blaga cut him off.
“We can’t waste the lives we’ve carefully preserved fighting monsters like you. They’ve already fled.”
Kwon Chan-seong frowned. Fled?
It was a wise decision, but something felt off. That dark-hearted woman didn’t seem like the type to give up so easily.
“Our Blaga Family’s true strength isn’t our servants or monsters.”
“I know. The Blaga Family’s most powerful ability is illusion.”
The Blaga Family’s bloodline ability was to manipulate the minds of other living beings.
“We’ve already prepared thoroughly for that.”
Kwon Chan-seong and all members of the Black Flag Unit had fortified their minds and were equipped with artifacts that dispelled illusions.
It wasn’t for nothing that the Blaga Family’s bloodline members had been helpless against them.
In truth, the artifacts were merely preparations for contingencies.
Dominating, interfering with, or deceiving a person’s mind was extremely difficult.
Ordinary hunters might be vulnerable, but interfering with the minds of hunters recognized worldwide like the Black Flag Unit was nearly impossible.
“Oh my.”
Or so he thought.
“Commander Kwon Chan-seong, when did you get such a wound on your thigh?”
Kwon Chan-seong lowered his gaze. A slash wound, as if cut by a blade, marked his thigh.
Along with a sharp sting of pain, blood spurted from the wound like a fountain.
Kwon Chan-seong stared blankly at the wound. Not because it was severe—but because it shouldn’t exist at all.
“No. I must have seen wrong.”
Catalina Blaga clapped her hands. The wound vanished without a trace.
“Oh? But isn’t it heavy? Something is gripping Commander Kwon Chan-seong tightly.”
The moment Kwon Chan-seong blinked, tree roots had wrapped around his entire body.
An illusion.
Kwon Chan-seong deliberately bit his tongue. Relying on the pain spreading through his mouth, he tried to break free from the illusion.
But the more he did, the stronger the sensation of the tree roots constricting his body became.
“You look like you’re struggling. Let me clean that up for you.”
The tree roots vanished in an instant. Kwon Chan-seong glared at Catalina Blaga.
That was when it happened.
The earth trembled. The sky collapsed. Darkness unfurled beneath her feet.
Countless monsters emerged from the darkness, their maws gaping wide. It was as if Hell itself had been manifested.
An illusion. A lie. A fake.
Even knowing this, Kwon Chan-seong couldn’t erase that vision from his sight.
“Did you really think those relics could block Kwon Bloodline power? It may not work on other bloodlines, but it’s useless against us.”
Us.
Kwon Chan-seong immediately grasped who she was referring to.
The twelve elders representing the Blaga Family.
Every family has elders. But the elders of the Blaga Family are far more exceptional.
They had existed since the Blaga Family’s founding, ancient monsters who had lived for countless ages.
“By now, they’ve all taken to the battlefield.”
Then, screams erupted from far away. Not just one, but many.
The moment the sounds reached his ears, Kwon Chan-seong understood instantly. These were not the screams of Blaga bloodline members.
They were the screams of Black Flag Unit soldiers.

* * *

“…I’ll admit it. I underestimated the Blaga Family too much.”
“It’s strange—everyone always says that too late.”
“So from now on, I’ll take you seriously.”
“Oh really? How exactly will you do that?”
In that moment, Kwon Chan-seong moved. Just one step, yet he appeared right before Catalina Blaga’s face.
“Like this.”
Dragon Pressure wrapped around Kwon Chan-seong’s hand strike. The aura was so vivid it could be mistaken for Kwon Force at first glance.
If he couldn’t completely dispel the Kwon Bloodline’s power, he’d kill her before she could unfold her illusions.
He drove his hand strike toward the center of Catalina Blaga’s chest. It was a flawlessly sharp attack.
“Oh my.”
That attack—
“You shouldn’t be so careless with a woman’s chest.”
Catalina Blaga caught it far too easily. Her five fingers crushed the Dragon Pressure. Astonishment flashed across Kwon Chan-seong’s face.
“This is the price for touching our family.”
Kwon Chan-seong’s body was yanked forward. He was lifted into the air before being slammed into the ground.
The pain wasn’t severe, but his entire body shook so violently he couldn’t think straight. Kwon Chan-seong struck the earth with his palms and pushed himself up.
The moment he lifted his head, Kwon Chan-seong saw it—Catalina Blaga drawing one leg back as if preparing to kick a ball.
“Yah!”
With a playful shout, Catalina Blaga swept her foot toward Kwon Chan-seong’s head. But the result was anything but playful.
The impact struck his head with devastating force. Blood erupted from his eyes and nose. His body shot skyward before crashing down.
“How was that?”
Catalina Blaga lowered the leg she had been holding up, speaking with deliberate calm.
“Not so easy, is it?”
Kwon Chan-seong lifted his blood-soaked head. That was no illusion—it had been devastatingly real.
Catalina Blaga.
The woman known as the true ruler of the Blaga Family.
She had transcended not only in illusory arts but in physical prowess as well.
“A monster of a woman.”
Kwon Chan-seong spat blood-tinged saliva and lunged at Catalina Blaga.
