163.

“If it’s because of Jang Seojin, I’ll withdraw my hand even now. I’ll strictly control Bowun so he can’t even get near her.”

“Why should I believe those words?”

“Please believe me! From now on, not only Bowun but no one from our Pyoguk will ever meet Miss Jang again!”

It was his first time pleading, but with his life hanging by a thread, it came naturally.

“It would be simple to just kill you all, so why should I believe your promise?”

Seol Mujin’s eyes as he spoke of murder were utterly cold, making one instinctively believe he was sincere.

“Please spare us! It’s just a mistake made by a foolish child!”

“A mistake, you see, is something like stepping on someone’s foot in a crowded market. What you did was just evil. Evil that pushes a person’s life into hell.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Seol Mujin’s foot sliced through the air.

Yang Changmok’s head turned to the left and he collapsed sideways.

With that, the punishment was over.

The result was Yang Changmok’s death.

In truth, it wasn’t a kick thrown with the absolute intent to kill.

Even until the last moment, there was the conflict of ‘Should I kill him?’

Seol Mujin was not someone who killed people carelessly.

Nevertheless, not holding back his strength might have been like throwing fate’s dice.

Dice with Yang Changmok’s fate at stake, not his own.

If Yang Changmok survived this attack, that would be Yang Changmok’s fortune.

But Yang Changmok had no such fortune.

He thought he’d feel uncomfortable after killing Yang Changmok, but no such feeling arose.

It was just doing what was natural, like when he caught criminals as Podoo.

The aftermath wasn’t just Yang Changmok.

When Seol Mujin came out of the office, the Speckled Man outside was startled.

“What’s your name?”

“Me, me?”

It was a foolish question since there was no one else around.

“It’s Gwak Bongtag.”

“Right, Gwak Bongtag. Where is your young master?”

“He’s currently resting in the Inner Quarters.”

“Who’s in those Inner Quarters?”

“Only the young master and the maids. The madam went to her family home three days ago and hasn’t returned yet. From what I hear, there’s talk she’s gone for good…”

“That’s good.”

“What is?”

“Guide me.”

Gwak Bongtag went from being Yang Bowun’s bodyguard to becoming Seol Mujin’s guide.

Going to the Inner Quarters, they saw several women doing household work.

Gwak Bongtag asked one of them.

“Is the young master in his room?”

“Yes. But…”

The gentle-looking woman in her mid-thirties couldn’t easily speak and glanced at the two men.

“Why?”

“Hyang-dan went in…”

Gwak Bongtag shook his head and muttered.

“He said he hated it so much, but in the end…”

Gwak Bongtag told Seol Mujin ‘Follow me’ and quickened his pace.

There was no sign from Gwak Bongtag that he intended to protect Yang Bowun.

Another Annex Building prepared at the back of the Inner Quarters was Yang Bowun’s quarters.

It was tucked deep inside the house where no one would know what happened inside.

“Young, young master! You mustn’t do this!”

“Oh my! I’m nursing a patient, so I shouldn’t be rough!”

“Please… I’m to be married next month!”

“That’s why we should spend pleasant time together until next month, shouldn’t we? Hehehe…”

From the voices coming from inside the room, one could roughly guess what was happening.

“Didn’t you say his face was smashed?”

At Seol Mujin’s question, Gwak Bongtag smiled wryly.

“That part wasn’t smashed.”

Seol Mujin went up to the Main Hall and flung open Yang Bowun’s door.

Yang Bowun, who was half-undressing a young woman, was startled and turned his head.

“What bastard dares…!”

Only after saying that much did he recognize that it was Seol Mujin.

“You, why are you here?”

Seol Mujin said to the woman.

“Leave.”

The woman adjusted her clothes and hurried out of the room.

“I asked why you’re here! Hey there! Is no one outside! There’s an intruder!”

The hollow cry summoned no one.

Seol Mujin’s quiet voice rang out.

“Your father just died.”

“What, what did you say?”

“He was weak.”

“That’s a lie. How could father die! Did you kill him? Did you kill him?”

Seol Mujin approached the shouting Yang Bowun.

“Killing those who deserve to die to eliminate future troubles. This is the best method.”

“What nonsense are you spouting!”

That became Yang Bowun’s last words.

Crack!

Yang Bowun’s head turned in an abnormal direction.

Seol Mujin looked down briefly at Yang Bowun’s corpse, who died without even a scream, then left the room.

Gwak Bongtag wasn’t surprised this time.

“Is he dead?”

“Yes.”

“The master too?”

“Yes.”

“I see.”

Though his master had suddenly gone to the afterlife, Gwak Bongtag seemed to have no particular feelings about it.

Gwak Bongtag, who muttered ‘I should look for a new job,’ said to Seol Mujin.

“You’d better leave here quickly. A report has probably already gone to the Government Office, and Government Officials will come bursting in soon. The government won’t see this as a fight between Martial Artists. The Pyoguk master has fed the Magistrate considerable money, so they’ll definitely try to arrest you.”

“Are you worried about me?”

“The dead are dead, and the living must live.”

Gwak Bongtag’s worry became reality.

When they reached a place where the Pyoguk entrance was visible, a group of Government Officials came rushing in.

Two Podoo and six Pokwae were asking the Workers something.

One worker soon spotted Seol Mujin and pointed at him.

Then the eight Government Officials approached Seol Mujin.

Around them, escort fighters who had lost consciousness or were barely getting up were still scattered about.

“Did you do all of this?”

One Podoo in his mid-thirties asked Seol Mujin that.

Come to think of it, bad guys weren’t only at Seonchangpyo Country.

Government Officials taking bribes is as natural as goats eating grass.

Seol Mujin had also received bribes that way.

But there should be a minimum sense of morality.

Not extracting tears from the eyes of innocent people is the minimum duty of a Government Official.

“Inside are also the corpses of the Pyoguk master and his son.”

The Podoo, startled by Seol Mujin’s words, asked.

“Did you kill them?”

“Of course. Who else would it be besides me?”

“You, who are you to come here and commit such vicious acts?”

“Who are you to be protecting these vicious people?”

“What did you say? I am a Government Official who enforces the law! Right and wrong will be determined at the Government Office, so kneel down immediately and surrender!”

He had no intention of following the Podoo’s words.

So when he took one step forward, the frightened Podoo took two steps back.

A mere Podoo couldn’t possibly handle someone who had beaten down so many escort warriors.

“Y-you wouldn’t dare lay a hand on a Government Official, would you?”

“Do you think those blue clothes can protect you?”

“You bastard! Harming a Government Official is…!”

Smack!

The Podoo, unable to finish his words, was slapped across the face and collapsed with a thud.

It had taken ten years to go from Pokwae to Podoo.

In those ten years, this was the first time he had been slapped by a criminal.

That single slap made his legs give out and knocked out two of his molars.

“Ughhhh—!”

The Podoo clutched his face and curled up small as the delayed pain hit him.

Seol Mujin asked the Government Officials.

“Anyone else want to try capturing me?”

The Government Officials turned their heads away, avoiding Seol Mujin’s fierce gaze.

Before overwhelming force, the blue clothes held no power at all.

“Let’s go to the Government Office. Lead the way.”

The Government Officials looked bewildered.

Seol Mujin was saying he wanted to go to the Government Office?

When no one moved, Seol Mujin spoke again.

“Didn’t you hear me tell you to guide me to the Government Office?”

Since they had to arrest him anyway, there was no reason to refuse when he said he’d go on his own.

Two Government Officials took the lead while the rest followed behind Seol Mujin.

It seemed like they were surrounding him to prevent escape, but they were just following along.

At the Government Office they arrived at, all Government Officials capable of fighting were waiting.

One Pokwae had run ahead first to report the situation.

There were roughly fifty of them, and it was surprising that a county not as large as Podong County had so many Government Officials.

What was more surprising was that even the Magistrate had come out.

Usually the Magistrate would wait inside, but Podong County’s Magistrate stood in front of the Government Officials as if ready to fight.

The Magistrate, who appeared to be in his mid-forties, even held a sword in his hand.

It seemed he had learned martial arts.

But judging by his stance, he was far from being a master.

Well, how much martial arts could a mere Magistrate have learned?

The word “mere” suited the Magistrate better than the Podoo.

The Magistrate pointed his sword at Seol Mujin and asked.

“I heard you caused a disturbance at Seonchangpyo Country and murdered the father and son. Is that correct?”

“Are you the Magistrate who took bribes and neglected to stop the Seonchangpyo Country father and son from tormenting the people?”

“What, what did you say? Have you ever seen such an insolent bastard!”

When you rule from above for a long time, you sometimes forget that there are people above you.

Right now, the Magistrate was exactly that kind of person.

“A mere Magistrate dares to point a blade at me. You truly seem to want to die.”

At Seol Mujin’s fierce words, the tip of the Magistrate’s sword dropped slightly downward.

“Who are you to say such things before me?”

This was Seol Mujin who had killed the Seonchangpyo Country master and his son and walked to the Government Office himself.

In such a case, there were only two reasons Seol Mujin could be so confident.

He was either crazy or possessed that much power.

Whether that power was physical force or political authority, the Magistrate shouldn’t be acting up like this in front.

The Magistrate wasn’t a fool either, so he gradually became worried.

If he was a crazy bastard with brute strength, he who stood in front could be in danger, and if he was someone with higher authority than a Magistrate, that would be even worse.

When Seol Mujin advanced, the Magistrate stepped backward.

“First reveal your identity!”

“Someone like you doesn’t even qualify to know my identity.”

He had heard that forty escort warriors were defeated at Seonchangpyo Country.

Even so, drawing his sword was merely to show authority, but he failed to establish any authority.

“Capture that crazy bastard immediately!”

Just in case, he couldn’t bring himself to say kill him.

Government Officials with clubs and spears rushed toward Seol Mujin.

The Government Officials’ martial prowess could be considered excellent if it was enough to beat up street thugs.

So they all went flying without even touching Seol Mujin’s clothes.

The Magistrate became frightened watching the Government Officials swept away like fallen leaves before autumn wind.

He had never seen such martial prowess before, and never even thought there would be someone who would use their hands so freely against Government Officials.

Facing a completely new type of human, the Magistrate couldn’t grasp how to respond.

His mind went completely blank, and Seol Mujin, who had beaten down all the Government Officials, approached step by step.

“D-don’t come any closer!”

He thrust his sword forward threateningly, but the sword glinting in the sunlight looked worse than a sorghum stalk.

Clang!

The sword struck by Seol Mujin’s hand broke in half like a real sorghum stalk.

Seol Mujin’s shadow fell over the Magistrate who fell on his bottom in shock.

“H-hey there! Quickly r-remove this, this person from b-before me!”

It wasn’t that there were no Government Officials around.

But the Government Officials who could fight had been beaten by Seol Mujin and were sprawled out, and the remaining Government Officials were just scholars.

So they were all trembling while watching the two men.

“Magistrate, what’s your name?”

“Wh-what did you say?”

“I should at least know the name of who I’m beating. Or does it not matter? You just get beaten.”

Thud!

Kicked by Seol Mujin’s foot, a blood-soaked molar flew out of the spinning Magistrate’s mouth.

“Ahhhhh—!”

The Magistrate screamed at the pain he was experiencing for the first time in his life, but that didn’t stop Seol Mujin’s Beating Technique.
