Chapter 94 25. Yongsan Park (4)

 

“Jang Jung-ho…!”

 

As Kim Do-ha shouted the name of Dongdaemun’s First Sword, a golden wave burst forth from Jang Jung-ho’s body.

 

Paaaaat!

 

A handshake might have ended as just a simple contest of strength, but using ‘First Sword’s Aura’ was a completely different story.

 

This was an extremely rude act of provocation, blatantly testing the opponent’s courage.

 

“Urgh…!”

 

Indeed, Kim Do-ha, who was within range of Jang Jung-ho’s Intimidation, had to grit his teeth the moment he was exposed to the golden wave.

 

It was because he felt a crushing pain in his heart.

 

He couldn’t withstand Jang Jung-ho’s aura.

 

‘Damn it.’

 

But he couldn’t show signs of distress.

 

Not only were Jang Jung-ho and the outsider here, but also Mapo and Seongbuk’s First Swords, and even the Yongsan Police Station chief.

 

‘If I show weakness here, it’s over.’

 

So while he was sweating profusely and enduring the pain, an unexpected savior appeared.

 

It was none other than.

 

“Kraaaaaaak!”

 

Jang Jung-ho himself.

 

“Huh…?”

 

Why was he screaming when he was the one unleashing his aura?

 

An absurd situation that made him momentarily forget even the stinging pain in his heart.

 

And even in this chaos, Jang Jung-ho continued to writhe while letting out pathetic screams.

 

Thanks to this, the fact that Kim Do-ha had been overwhelmed by Jang Jung-ho’s Intimidation was quietly buried.

 

“What, did Gyeongbuk win?”

 

“Even so, rolling around like that…?”

 

The Mapo and Seongbuk First Swords watching the situation thought it was purely the outsider’s aura crushing Jang Jung-ho.

 

Nothing else special had happened between the two.

 

The only physical contact was a handshake, and they hadn’t properly exchanged blows.

 

However, the parties involved—Jang Jung-ho, Jung Young-woo, and even Kim Do-ha—all knew well.

 

The fact that Jang Jung-ho was the only one who had used First Sword’s Aura just now.

 

‘What? He definitely didn’t use aura. Did he use some other trick?’

 

Of course, even Kim Do-ha, who had witnessed everything up close, didn’t know exactly what had happened.

 

Anyway, what was important to him right now was.

 

‘Fortunately, I wasn’t caught.’

 

That he had successfully saved face thanks to Jang Jung-ho’s outburst.

 

“You… what exactly are you.”

 

Eventually, Jang Jung-ho, half-collapsed on the floor with trembling lips, glared at Young-woo.

 

Young-woo clenched and unclenched his slightly throbbing right hand with a bitter smile.

 

“You asked for a handshake, so I just shook hands.”

 

This was also true.

 

All Young-woo had done was clasp the other person’s hand.

 

But once the handshake began, Jang Jung-ho applied force as if to crush Young-woo’s hand, and Young-woo also increased his output in response, which led to the incident.

 

‘Golden Punishment’ had recognized the opponent as an enemy and activated Pain Infliction.

 

‘Seeing that he’s not wearing much equipment, it seems he invested everything in ability stats, but he’s surprisingly capable.’

 

For Young-woo, it was quite profitable as he had indirectly experienced the strength of a 3rd-day First Sword.

 

‘I think I could easily win even in a one-on-one fight.’

 

As Young-woo stared intently at Jang Jung-ho while thinking this, the guy flinched and stepped back.

 

“You, you bastard….”

 

Even so, he couldn’t charge at Young-woo again.

 

If they clashed again this time, it would become a real sword fight rather than ‘playing around,’ and most importantly.

 

‘Damn it.’

 

He wasn’t confident he could beat that outsider.

 

This was someone who didn’t even blink an eye after taking First Sword’s Aura head-on. He was definitely not an ordinary opponent.

 

“….”

 

As an awkward silence continued for a while, Lee Yu-bin, the Seongbuk First Sword who couldn’t stand it anymore, spoke up.

 

“If you’re not going to do anything more, come inside. People will start coming soon.”

 

Her voice was full of amusement.

 

“You bit…!”

 

Jang Jung-ho glared at this, but Lee Yu-bin was no pushover either.

 

“So what. Acting crazy all by yourself.”

 

Still, she didn’t add the final word ‘idiot.’

 

Because one of the ‘people’ she had mentioned was already visible in the distance.

 

“Sister!”

 

Lee Yu-bin waved her hand toward the area behind Young-woo.

 

Then Kim Do-ha, the Yongsan First Sword, approached Young-woo and whispered in a low voice.

 

“That’s Oh Yeon-hee, the Songpa First Sword.”

 

“…?”

 

Young-woo was confused by the sudden guide but followed Kim Do-ha’s gaze.

 

Swoosh.

 

Then a tall woman striding over from the distance came into view.

 

“My goodness.”

 

Young-woo understood why Kim Do-ha had deliberately pointed out the Songpa First Sword.

 

Oh Yeon-hee was a kind of celebrity whose face Young-woo recognized.

 

“Don’t tell me that’s….”

 

“Yes, you’re looking at her right now.”

 

Oh Yeon-hee04.

 

Former professional basketball player, current Songpa First Sword.

 

She was not only a player who had been selected as MVP for four consecutive years in the domestic professional league, but was also well known as an Asian Games silver medalist.

 

Of course, Young-woo knew her face purely thanks to variety shows.

 

With her background as a famous player plus her tall height and excellent speaking skills, she had been tremendously popular at one time.

 

‘But why is that person…?’

 

Young-woo doubted his own eyes while looking at Oh Yeon-hee’s shadow stretching long across the grass.

 

As he was seeing now, despite being a celebrity, Oh Yeon-hee hadn’t been nominated for elimination voting.

 

She usually had no scandals and wasn’t the type of character to make enemies.

 

But such a person was a First Sword?

 

Weren’t First Swords basically murderers? They had killed people to become First Swords, and would kill again if necessary.

 

“….”

 

As Young-woo stared blankly at the newly appeared First Sword, Oh Yeon-hee also looked at the outsider with an expressionless face.

 

Then she looked at Jang Jung-ho lying on the ground, and next slightly nodded to Kim Do-ha while opening her mouth.

 

“Looks like there was already some commotion.”

 

Oh Yeon-hee’s height was an impressive 186cm.

 

The weapon she used was also a long crescent blade, creating tremendous intimidation.

 

“Ah… yes. But it was resolved well.”

 

When Kim Do-ha smiled awkwardly and spoke, Oh Yeon-hee silently nodded.

 

The atmosphere was completely different from what he’d seen on broadcasts.

 

Perhaps the many events that occurred with the reset had made her taciturn.

 

“Sister!”

 

When Lee Yu-bin waved her hand once more, only then did Oh Yeon-hee smile brightly and wave back with her long arm.

 

While doing so, he warned through his teeth as if performing ventriloquism.

 

“The executive director is also coming this way. From what I can see, it would be better to seat the guest separately.”

 

He was speaking to Kim Do-ha, the owner of the meeting place.

 

Judging by the nuance, Oh Yeon-hee also seemed to know what had happened to the son of Gangnam First Sword.

 

“…He’ll be here soon. I understand.”

 

Kim Do-ha’s expression hardened, and meanwhile Oh Yeon-hee was walking toward Lee Yu-bin.

 

Now only three remained at the scene.

 

“What did you do?”

 

Jang Jung-ho, who sensed something strange from the previous conversation, asked this, and Young-woo answered without reservation.

 

“I killed Jung Hyun-sik’s son.”

 

“What… why on earth?”

 

“He suddenly came and picked a fight with me.”

 

“…”

 

Jang Jung-ho instantly became speechless.

 

But the atmosphere didn’t become awkward again.

 

Because the First Swords at the meeting place who had been looking this way all stood up at once, as someone else had arrived.

 

“…!”

 

Even when Oh Yeon-hee appeared, the reaction wasn’t this intense, so Young-woo could instinctively tell.

 

‘He’s here.’

 

As Young-woo slowly turned around, he saw a jet-black hearse sliding toward the meeting place right on cue.

 

 

 

 

 

“Ah.”

 

Young-woo’s heart sank.

 

It was because he finally realized what it meant to have killed someone’s son.

 

Another black sedan was following behind the hearse, and Young-woo kept watching the rear car, thinking Jung Hyun-sik would be in there.

 

However, where Jung Hyun-sik was actually riding was.

 

Vroooom…

 

Eventually the hearse stopped and the driver’s door opened.

 

Click.

 

Then a driver in a black suit stepped onto the grass.

 

Thud.

 

With the title ‘Gangnam First Sword’ above his head.

 

‘Gangnam First Sword, Jung Hyun-sik.’

 

Young-woo silently recited the driver’s identity in his mind.

 

Then, as if hearing that, Jung Hyun-sik turned his head toward Young-woo.

 

Whoooosh…

 

For a moment, Young-woo had the illusion of standing before a winter sea with gentle waves.

 

Because he felt a cold and desolate ocean from Jung Hyun-sik’s face as he silently looked this way.

 

He probably would have known even without the title above his head.

 

That this man was the father of the dead.

 

Tsk.

 

Kim Do-ha and Jang Jung-ho were already moving as far away from Young-woo as possible, and meanwhile the passenger door of the hearse opened.

 

Click.

 

And what emerged from inside was someone Young-woo knew well.

 

Lee Jang-ho73.

 

Because he was the only man who survived from the scene where Jung Hyun-sik’s son died.

 

Lee Jang-ho looked back and forth between Young-woo’s face and Negwig, then moved his lips toward Jung Hyun-sik.

 

Probably saying something like “That’s him.”

 

Then Jung Hyun-sik said something to Lee Jang-ho while placing a chrysanthemum that had been pinned to his chest on top of the hearse.

 

And then.

 

Swish!

 

In the blink of an eye, he threw a dagger that pierced through Lee Jang-ho’s forehead.

 

“Gasp!”

 

“Huh?”

 

The remaining First Swords who had been keeping quiet stirred.

 

Although Lee Jang-ho hadn’t managed to protect his son, he had at least helped identify the killer.

 

‘Does he intend to kill everyone related to his son’s death?’

 

Young-woo pondered grimly.

 

This way, Gwanak First Sword Jo Sang-ik would also find it difficult to preserve his life.

 

Thunk.

 

As Lee Jang-ho with a hole in his head collapsed to the ground, people in black suits poured out of the rear car that had been quiet until now.

 

Young-woo didn’t know, but these were Dongjak First Sword Lee Han-wook and employees of Taewon Group.

 

Not that they surrounded Young-woo or anything.

 

They simply dragged out Lee Jang-ho’s corpse and loaded it into the trunk of the vehicle they had arrived in.

 

And seeing this, Jung Hyun-sik finally began to move.

 

Swoosh.

 

Toward the outsider who had killed his son.
