Chapter 41. The Virtue of Transactions (1)
Outside the window, a dim light could be seen rising from the eastern sky.
After the long dawn, morning was finally about to come.
“Phew, a whole day has passed.”
Sleep wouldn’t come at all.
Given the situation, it was only natural. Her physical condition was originally so good that staying up all night wouldn’t be a problem for her body, but she couldn’t help feeling somewhat languid.
“Tch, this feels awful.”
Moyong Su Hyang, who had finished her energy cultivation in her room, glanced toward the warehouse.
Inside there, the eldest daughter of Ten Sword Gate was currently imprisoned.
The entire family was in a state of emergency, but even if that weren’t the case, there was no way she could sleep when they had confined a person in the personal weapons warehouse.
“Damn it.”
Finally unable to bear the awful feeling, Moyong Su Hyang opened the warehouse door.
Whoooosh.
The cold wind ruffled Hwang Ji Hwa’s hair.
Was it because of the sudden gust of wind? Hwang Ji Hwa’s eyelids trembled slightly.
A moment later.
“Gasp!”
Hwang Ji Hwa, who had regained consciousness, rolled her eyes around.
“Wh-where is this?”
As she looked around her surroundings, her eyes happened to meet Moyong Su Hyang’s.
Hwang Ji Hwa unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
A young girl looking down at her with a blank expression—no, she was too mature to be called a girl, yet too young to be called a maiden.
“Wh-who are you?”
“Moyong Su Hyang.”
That blunt voice showed no consideration for whoever she was speaking to.
“Moyong Su Hyang… Moyong… Gasp!”
Only then did she remember everything that had happened.
Hwang Ji Hwa shouted indignantly.
“Do you know what you people are doing right now? Untie this immediately!”
“…”
“Hey! Can’t you hear me?! I said untie this right now!”
Moyong Su Hyang, who had been quietly looking down at her, slowly crouched down.
A look of hope appeared on Hwang Ji Hwa’s face.
‘Good!’
She felt relieved. If it was Moyong Su Hyang, the youngest of the Moyong Family, she was young, so if she coaxed and persuaded her, she might somehow be able to escape.
But that was one thing, and her burning rage was unavoidable.
Having lived for twenty-five years without ever experiencing such humiliation, Hwang Ji Hwa’s anger reached the heavens.
“You’re all dead now. Do you think my father will let you go? I don’t know about other things, but he won’t leave a single blade of grass on the Moyong Family house site!”
Swish. Swish.
“I recommend you run away even now. There’s no guarantee you’ll survive by running, but at least you’ll have a chance to commit suicide before being brutally torn limb from limb…”
Squeeze!
“Ahhhhh!”
Hwang In Hwa screamed at the mercilessly tightening pain.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Moyong Su Hyang grumbled with a sulky face.
“I knew this would happen. I shouldn’t have trusted that idiot. Tying them up so loosely like this? What’s this about not being able to escape even if they died and came back to life? What bullshit.”
“You, you!”
“Huh? The ankles are even looser? Did he want to finish quickly because of the foot smell? Even so, this won’t do.”
Squeeeze!
“Ahhhhhhh!”
“Phew, that’s so refreshing. Well, I shouldn’t expect anything reliable from that bastard. Of course not.”
Moyong Su Hyang dusted off her hands and stood up, opening the warehouse door.
Hwang Ji Hwa shouted urgently.
“Hey, you crazy bitch! What are you doing right now?!”
Moyong Su Hyang glanced down at Hwang Ji Hwa, shrugged her shoulders, and closed the door.
Bang!
The door looked like it might break.
Moyong Su Hyang’s sulky face immediately turned fierce.
“Where do you get off cursing at me, you bitch who deserves to die.”
Her blood pressure shot up.
She felt like beating the hell out of her until her eyes turned into chestnuts. Both of them, too.
“I moved her to a less humid place out of consideration, and this ungrateful bitch doesn’t know kindness. Should I have just told that idiot to leave her anywhere?”
Muttering curses as she walked, she found herself in front of the Family Head’s Office.
“Huh?!”
A stranger was kneeling there.
His hands were behind his back, and it looked like his wrists were tied with rope or something. His upper body was bound too.
But that wasn’t what surprised Moyong Su Hyang.
“Cough.”
He spat out blood with a dry cough.
Looking at his pale face, it seemed like all the blood in his body had been drained out.
‘Another sea of blood.’
She felt an instinctive revulsion.
Frowning, Moyong Su Hyang looked at Moyong Bi, who was sitting in lotus position next to the man.
His face was peaceful. He had completely destroyed some unknown person and was still managing to concentrate on energy cultivation right next to him.
‘Is he even human?’
As Moyong Su Hyang approached, the squad members bowed their heads.
“You’ve arrived.”
“Aren’t you tearing off his legs?”
Gwan Hyeon shook his head with a serious expression.
“Training is temporarily suspended.”
Moyong Su Hyang glanced down at the man.
Gwanhyeon smiled.
But only for a moment.
Mo Yongsu-hyang’s shoulders flinched for a moment.
No matter how bold a person might be, they couldn’t help but instinctively fear assassins.
If you died fighting a master, you could at least be satisfied that you died at the hands of a strong warrior. If you died fighting a cruel demon lord, you could at least be said to have died fighting to uphold righteousness.
If you die fighting a master, you can at least find satisfaction in knowing you died at the hands of a strong opponent. If you die fighting a cruel demon lord, you can at least be remembered as someone who died upholding justice and righteousness.
How terrible would it be to die without satisfaction, without honor, without even knowing why you’re dying?
“That’s right.”
“It seems he was targeting the Family Head Deputy.”
Gwanhyeon, who had been looking down at the dark shadow with cold eyes, glanced sideways at the head family’s room.
Crack!
“Gah!”
Dark Shadow, kicked in the jaw, tumbled backward.
“Gah!”
“You damn bastard!”
The shadow that was kicked in the jaw tumbled backward with a thud.
No one had time to stop her.
“You son of a bitch!”
“Die! Die, you bastard! Just die!”
There was no time for anyone to stop it.
“Gasp! Y-Young Miss!”
Moyong Suhyang immediately leaped onto the dark shadow and mercilessly swung her fists.
“Stop!”
“Die! Die, you bastard! Just die!”
The startled squad members tried to pull Moyong Su Hyang away.
But she wouldn’t come off easily. The strength of Moyong Su Hyang, crazed with rage, was beyond what could be described as monstrous power.
“Stop!”
“Let go! Won’t you let go?!”
The shocked team members desperately tried to stop Mo Yongsu-hyang.
“Young Miss! That man is also a hostage!”
But it wouldn’t come off easily. The strength of Moyong Suhyang, who was raging mad with fury, was beyond what could even be described as monstrous power.
“What hostage is an assassin! Kill him, just kill him! Beat him to death!”
In the end, they were only able to separate Mo Yongsu-hyang from Am-yeong after Gwan-hyeon stepped in.
“Please calm down!”
“Let go! Are you not going to let go?!”
“Do I look like I’m going to calm down right now?!”
“Miss! That person is also a hostage!”
Then, a calm voice was heard.
“Do I look calm to you right now?!”
“Elder Sister!”
Then, a calm voice was heard.
A strange dignity could be felt from Moyong Su Jeong as she walked out of the Family Head’s Office.
“The team members are right. Calm down.”
Mo Yongsu-hyang’s eyes instantly became as gentle as a deer’s when she whipped her head around.
“Sis!”
There was a strange elegance about Mo Yongsujeong as she walked out of the family room.
The squad members hurriedly returned to their positions.
Like a baby bird seeking its mother’s embrace, Moyong Su Hyang clung to Moyong Su Jeong and made a fuss.
“Elder Sister, are you okay? You’re not hurt anywhere?”
“Why would I be hurt?”
“They said an assassin came! What if that damn bastard used poison?!”
Moyong Su Jeong chuckled softly.
“I’m fine, so calm down.”
“Really? You’re really okay?”
“Yes.”
The composure that a mother shows always has a way of calming her children.
Though she was an elder sister, not a mother, Moyong Su Jeong’s composure worked on Moyong Su Hyang.
“Phew, thank goodness.”
“Did you get some sleep?”
“What are you talking about? How could I sleep in this situation…”
Moyong Su Hyang, who had been speaking, suddenly gritted her teeth.
‘What a stupid thing to say.’
That’s right. The family clan was currently in a state of emergency.
So much so that assassins were appearing.
‘Everyone else is standing guard in a state of high tension, and what were you doing holed up in your residence feeling uncomfortable?’
Moyong Su Hyang’s eyes naturally turned toward Moyong Bi.
The sight of that damn Elder Brother entering energy circulation method with a calm face was truly irritating.
Her heart felt as complicated as that irritation.
‘That guy…’
She too had been feeling her Elder Brother’s changes.
But she didn’t trust her Elder Brother. More precisely, she tried not to trust him.
Because he would surely return to his wastrel days anyway. During the time Elder Sister was away from home, how many times had she been disappointed and how many times had she hoped?
She had completely lost affection for the Elder Brother who had betrayed the family clan and herself. Two, three years had already passed like that.
But it seemed that in one corner of her heart, another expectation that even she hadn’t recognized was rising.
‘Don’t talk nonsense. This isn’t because of anyone else. It’s just because I’m lacking.’
Before disappointment or expectations about Elder Brother, it was simply because she was still immature.
It seemed she had thought that only her own feelings mattered. Moyong Su Hyang was ashamed of herself.
“I’m sorry, Elder Sister.”
“Huh? All of a sudden?”
“Everyone else is here protecting the family clan, but I alone was acting all high and mighty, holed up in my residence just resting.”
“…”
“I still have a long way to go. A very long way.”
“Of course you do.”
Elder Sister’s reproaching voice was calm, which made it even sharper.
Moyong Su Hyang’s head naturally bowed. She couldn’t bear to look at Elder Sister.
“I have a long way to go, and so do you. The squad members need to become stronger too, and Bi Ah must recover her health.”
“…?”
“Our family is full of people who are lacking in one way or another. Naturally, you can make mistakes too.”
“Elder Sister?”
“Isn’t that right, Chief Administrator?”
Seok Woong walked out with a smile.
“That’s correct, Family Head.”
“Family Head Deputy.”
“Please accept it now. The reason our family has so many lacking people might be because we don’t have a true leader.”
“How could that be possible.”
“Well, the most lacking person among us would probably be me.”
Fatigue showed on Seok Woong’s face as he laughed heartily. As a middle-aged man who hadn’t properly learned Internal Energy Cultivation Method, he was bound to be tired after staying up all night.
However, he also showed excitement and joy that overwhelmed his fatigue.
That’s why Seok Woong’s face was beautiful.
“By the way, dawn is slowly breaking.”
“Indeed it is.”
“It was truly a long yet short day.”
“Another day is beginning.”
“I’m already dizzy wondering how brutal this day will be.”
That’s when it happened.
“Uweeek!”
Moyong Bi vomited a large amount of blood.
“Young Master!”
“Bi Ah!”
A particularly murky fishy smell rose from the blood he spilled.
Moyong Su Hyang’s eyes wavered.
‘What? Don’t tell me these bloodstains were…?’
It wasn’t blood spilled by the assassin, but blood spilled by that fool?
“Whew.”
Moyong Bi, who had released his lotus position, slowly stood up and rubbed the back of his neck.
“Wow, this feels incredibly refreshing.”
Moyong Su Hyang’s face became strange.
Refreshing? Does he mean he feels refreshingly close to death?
“Bi Ah, are you alright?”
Moyong Su Jeong’s composure didn’t discriminate against anyone.
She worried about her younger brother, but there was no excessively fragile appearance like before.
Her back was straight and her expression was fundamentally calm. She showed a firmness that wouldn’t make her blink even if lightning struck right in front of her.
Moyong Bi nodded.
“I’m fine.”
“That’s a relief. But why the blood?”
“That’s all impure blood.”
Surprisingly, the terrible smell of blood that had been pouring out evaporated in an instant.
Moyong Bi approached Dark Shadow with a smile.
“I never expected you to have this.”
In his hand was a black pouch. Something he had taken from Dark Shadow’s chest.
“Blood Control Pill… This is hard to come by. Well, thanks to it, my internal injuries are completely healed.”
“…!”
“By the way, why does your face look like that?”
Moyong Bi looked around at the squad members.
“Who hit him again?”
The squad members’ gazes turned toward Moyong Su Hyang.
When Moyong Bi looked at her, Moyong Su Hyang’s face became sullen again.
“What are you looking at?”
Moyong Bi chuckled and clapped his hands while looking at Dark Shadow.
“Now, you’ve been beaten enough and I’ve recovered enough, so shall we have a nice chat?”
“I will never….”
“Let’s eat something first while we talk. I’m getting dizzy from losing so much blood.”
