Chapter 17. If You’re Weak, You Get Devoured (2)
“…You came to repay the money?”
Choi Ho was dumbfounded.
“Has this bastard gone crazy?”
If he came to repay, then he came to repay, but how dare he beat the gang members to this state?
“Do you even know how much it costs per day to train these guys? Even if you worked your whole life, you couldn’t earn enough to…”
Choi Ho, who had been speaking in utter bewilderment, suddenly realized that the situation was going strangely wrong.
‘But how did that bastard beat up our guys?’
He still had the same scrawny body. He was so lacking in muscle that even his back was hunched.
At least he was holding a long wooden staff, but the gang members basically carried well-sharpened daggers or real swords. Just looking at the weapons, the gang members should have overwhelmed Moyong Bi.
‘No, setting everything aside, does it make sense for them to lose to that guy even bare-handed?!’
Then, Moyong Bi slowly walked forward.
The gang members who had been rolling on the floor still flinched and quietly backed away.
Choi Ho’s face became serious.
‘They’re scared?’
The gang members of the Black Tiger Gang Main Branch are all vicious bastards.
Before skill, their viciousness alone is second to none. So much so that there’s even talk that you can’t enter the main branch unless you’ve killed at least two of your own family members.
Clear fear was cast over the faces of such vicious bastards.
‘Even so, to that extent?’
Does it make sense for those vicious types to fear their opponent just because they broke some limbs and vomited a little?
Then, Moyong Bi spoke.
“By the way, did you only pick psychopaths for your subordinates?”
“What?”
“That guy’s name was… ah, right. Ga Hang, wasn’t it?”
“…?!”
“He came to the main family house in the middle of the night saying I’d be in trouble if I didn’t repay the money, making all sorts of threats, so I went to see him, but then he said I didn’t need to repay it?”
“…?”
“Isn’t that ridiculous? When did he demand repayment, but when I went there myself, he suddenly said I didn’t need to repay it. Isn’t this disrespecting the debtor’s sincerity?”
How is that disrespecting sincerity? Shouldn’t he be grateful instead?
Choi Ho unconsciously asked.
“So?”
“No matter how I thought about it, this wasn’t normal. I seriously sat down and had a talk with him, but then this guy suddenly started giving me all sorts of things, calling them bribes.”
Choi Ho’s eyes widened.
“Bri, bribes?”
“When someone gives with sincerity, I can’t refuse. Thanks to that, I got some money, so I came to repay it directly this time. But these guys said I couldn’t even see the gang leader’s face without giving advance notice.”
Moyong Bi let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
“Isn’t that ridiculous? Why won’t you meet someone who came to repay money? Did you quit the money business?”
“It’s not that we quit…”
“Even if you did quit. Why do I need to give advance notice just to meet some back alley trash? Do you think that makes sense?”
In an instant, murderous intent flashed across Choi Ho’s face.
“Crazy bastard!”
It was so absurd that he had listened to all that rambling, but this guy was definitely insane.
For crazy people, beating is the medicine. He should crush both legs so he could never walk again and cut off his wrists so he couldn’t even feed himself with his own hands.
But there was something he needed to confirm first.
“Was it you? The one who cut off that bastard Ga Hang’s finger?”
“He was too excited, so I cut it off for him to let some blood out.”
“…You’re also the one who broke his jaw?”
“He had a speech impediment. I thought it would be better if he just never spoke for the rest of his life.”
Choi Ho exercised his last bit of patience.
“No matter how much of an idiot Ga Hang is, there’s no way he’d faint with valuables clearly visible lying around. You’re the one who stole the wealth he had accumulated, aren’t you?”
Moyong Bi responded indifferently.
“Stole what? Who do you take me for, a thief?”
“What? You didn’t steal it?”
Surely he must have taken much more than just a few gold ornaments or art pieces?
“I didn’t steal it, I received it as a donation. He begged and pleaded for me to please take it, so I had no choice but to accept it.”
“…”
“Do you know how hard it was to move all that heavy stuff?”
“You son of a bitch!”
The problem that had been steaming his head was solved in one blow.
In the end, the culprit was Moyong Bi. This bastard had attacked Ga Hang, completely stolen his wealth, then left only a few valuables behind and disappeared like a ghost.
“You bastard, did you think you’d be fine after daring to steal our gang’s wealth?!”
“How many times do I have to tell you I didn’t steal it.”
“Stop talking bullshit!”
“Woof woof!”
“…?!”
“Anyway, I came to repay the money, but you guys should repay too, right?”
Choi Ho, who was about to shout to catch and kill that crazy dog, hesitated for a moment.
“Repay?”
“Yeah.”
“We? To you?”
“To be precise, you’re repaying us.”
“…Repay what?”
“The crime of spreading garbage stench in this neighborhood with beautiful scenery and good people.”
“…”
“It’s environmental destruction through active filth throwing. Pay about one hundred thousand nyang.”
He couldn’t endure it any longer.
“Drag that son of a bitch to the front of the Gang Leader’s Room!!”
Thirty members of the Black Tiger Squad, the elite of the Black Tiger Gang, drew their swords and approached Moyong Bi.
Choi Ho turned around without even looking.
It seemed like he had learned some skills from somewhere, but he never thought he’d be a match for the Black Tiger Squad. The Black Tiger Squad and the fallen Blue Tiger Squad were on different levels.
‘This is really ridiculous.’
More than anger, it was a feeling of being deflated.
‘It wasn’t even the entire Moyong Family that came forward, but our headquarters was played by just the eldest son alone?’
This is why the Dark Path doesn’t work. That was exactly the reason he had quietly reached out to the Ten Sword Gate.
‘But still.’
After walking three or four steps, Choi Ho tilted his head at a sudden thought.
‘That bastard, why exactly did he do such a thing?’
Taking Ga Hang’s money was one thing.
But dropping the valuables into the pit and even breaking that guy’s jaw was strange.
‘The jaw, well, maybe he broke it out of anger, but why did he leave behind those precious things?’
If it were me, I would have taken everything and run away. Even if I couldn’t dispose of them immediately, I could convert them to money someday.
‘Hmm… Could it be that bastard was planning to throw our headquarters into chaos?’
Logically, that was the only way to think about it.
But then another question arose.
‘If he was going to attack directly anyway, why bother?’
What could change so much in a day that he went through such trouble?
It was natural that Choi Ho couldn’t understand.
Nothing could change in a day, but for Moyong Bi, that one day was more precious than gold. In just one day, he had formed his dantian and even accumulated internal energy.
Moreover, he had to reassure Moyong Su Jeong. For Moyong Bi, there was nothing more important than that.
‘Well, whatever.’
Choi Ho resumed his stopped steps.
‘How dare you act so recklessly without knowing your place, I’ll personally rip off your arms and legs.’
That’s when it happened.
Thwack! Clang! Crack!
A very sharp and murderous sound erupted, different from the sounds when the Blue Tiger Squad members had fallen.
“There we go.”
It was clear that it ended without even lasting a few exchanges.
Crack! Crunch crunch!
“Huh?”
Was that the sound of something breaking?
Choi Ho frowned and turned around.
“You bastards! Just tie him up quietly and bring him…!”
At that moment, something flew toward him at tremendous speed.
Crash!
Whatever had broken through the Middle Gate’s door grazed Choi Ho’s shoulder as it flew past.
Thud!
The sound of something heavy crashing into the ground was similar to the sound of a heart dropping.
Choi Ho unconsciously swallowed and slowly turned around.
“Gasp!”
The flying object was a person.
A man in black martial uniform, a Black Tiger Unit member. But his body was truly horrific.
His limbs were all bent in directions they shouldn’t bend, his neck was twisted at a strange angle, and especially his chest was caved in as if struck by a lump of iron.
He had clearly died instantly. Yet even so, the fallen corpse’s limbs were still trembling.
Choi Ho unconsciously swallowed dry saliva.
In thirty years of back alley life, this was the first time he’d seen such a gruesome corpse.
‘What, what is this?!’
Was this a dream…?
Suddenly his ears were ringing and he couldn’t hear any sounds.
Choi Ho turned his head again.
And there, there was an enraged lion indiscriminately beating down rabbits pretending to be tigers.
Thwack! Crack! Snap!
Every time the wooden staff moved, blood splattered and bones broke.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem that fast, yet every swing hit the Black Tiger Unit members’ bodies. As a result, it looked like the members were throwing themselves at the wooden staff.
Crack!
“Aaaaagh!”
Thud!
“My, my arm!”
In an instant, fifteen men had fallen.
The movements weren’t fast, but they were unbroken.
Moyong Bi penetrated between the panicked Black Tiger Unit members and swung the wooden staff he spun with both hands in all directions.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!
Like a flower bud blooming in full.
The wooden staff extending in eight directions instantly brought down eight Black Tiger Unit members.
The fallen members couldn’t get back up. Every one of them had been struck in the space between the eyebrows, philtrum, neck, solar plexus – there wasn’t a single spot that wasn’t a vital point.
Five of them couldn’t escape instant death, and the rest had lost consciousness.
Moyong Bi turned his head.
One Black Tiger Unit member who had been staring blankly at the scene with his body frozen suddenly let out a strange cry.
“Uaaaah!”
It was excessive to call it a human voice.
What was more surprising was that he didn’t run away but charged forward swinging his sword. Not only that, but the remaining seven members were the same.
Action to eliminate the source of fear. They were certainly tough ones.
‘St, stop!’
Choi Ho wanted to shout that. But no voice came out.
Moyong Bi swung his wrist with an indifferent expression.
Following his wrist that lightly drew a circle, the long wooden staff also drew a circle.
Clang-clang-clang-clang!
All the sharp swords were deflected.
He hadn’t even struck with force – literally just lightly tapping or brushing past was all, yet they were pathetically deflected.
“What a complete mess this is.”
Crack! Smash!
One Black Tiger Unit member who was struck in the head collapsed on the spot. With his skull shattered, he would not see tomorrow’s sun.
“Typical idiots who rely only on brute force and charge forward.”
Thwack! Thud thud thud!
Now that slow wooden staff seemed to create afterimages. Though it was slow, it hit every time it struck, causing optical illusions for those watching.
Jaws shattered and shoulders collapsed. Knees were smashed and spines were crushed.
With each strike that didn’t even properly contain internal energy, the Black Tiger Unit members fell rapidly.
And finally.
“Kaaaah!”
The moment one Black Tiger Unit member who had lost his reason raised a sword gripped in both hands.
Moyong Bi stood the end of his wooden staff upright and kicked it with his back foot.
Whoosh! Crack!
The wooden staff flew in a straight line and pierced through the last Black Tiger Unit member’s lips and teeth.
Thud!
The Black Tiger Unit member fell backward from his head, twitched a few times, then went completely limp.
“Tsk.”
He pulled out the wooden staff stuck in the Black Tiger Unit member’s mouth and swung it lightly.
Three or four teeth and blood that came up with the wooden staff scattered to the ground.
“Thirty percent internal energy my ass. Ten percent was more than enough.”
Even that was all the internal energy consumed by the Silk Winding Force he had used to send the captain flying.
His physical condition was so poor that he couldn’t even execute the martial arts from his Alliance Leader days. He had thought about at least trying the Martial Alliance Basic Staff Technique, but their level was so pathetic that lightly matching their pace was sufficient.
“Still, my stamina is lacking. This is maddening. I need to brew some medicinal tonics.”
Moyong Bi, who had been grumbling, looked up at Choi Ho.
Choi Ho, completely dazed, stared at Moyong Bi with his mouth agape.
Moyong Bi gestured with his wooden staff.
“Come here.”
