64.
Seeing the wrinkles form on Hwangbo Cheonak’s brow, Won Baeguk asked.
“Why? Are you worried about your siblings?”
Hwangbo Cheonak snorted.
“If you want to see me skin those bastards alive, I’ll gladly show you.”
“Then why do you look like that?”
“Because I’m not doing it with my own hands.”
“Still young. You don’t yet know that getting things done without lifting a finger is the best way.”
“Let’s first hear what nonsense those kids are spouting.”
Won Baeguk said to Bang Do who had come to report.
“Go to the general manager and tell him to bring them to the reception room.”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk whispered to Hwa Yeonshim.
“We should have sent word ahead before coming.”
Even for the Hwangbo Family, visiting another sect so abruptly like this was impolite.
“Young Master Hwangbo needs to become a bit more shameless.”
The wait didn’t last more than a moment.
The person who came out to greet them was Oryongbang’s general manager, Wang Doseok.
Hwangbo Hyeonguk had met him a few years ago.
“Distinguished guests have arrived.”
Wang Doseok greeted them politely, and Hwangbo Hyeonguk bowed his head in return.
“Thank you for welcoming us despite our sudden visit.”
“Please come inside.”
Orthodox and unorthodox sects don’t fight whenever they meet.
Most of the time, they maintain normal exchanges like this and try to prevent conflicts from arising.
While the others had the mindset of guests, Hwangbo Ryeoseon was different.
To her, Black Island was full of villains who only committed evil deeds.
She was ready to draw her sword and swing it if Oryongbang made even the slightest mistake.
Reading her aura, Hwangbo Hyeonguk said worriedly.
“Sister, calm down. We’re guests for now.”
“You never know when these Black Island bastards might stab you in the back.”
Since her voice wasn’t low, Wang Doseok glanced back.
Hwangbo Hyeonguk could only give an awkward smile.
“Come quickly.”
Bang-ju Won Baeguk, whom they met in the reception room, greeted them with a bright smile.
Namgung Hyeongguk greeted him politely, saying it had been a long time, while Hwangbo Ryeoseon just nodded her head formally.
She desperately needed social skills instead of just cultivating internal energy at the family estate.
“It’s been a while.”
When Hwa Yeonshim greeted him, Won Baeguk looked puzzled.
“Have we met before? I couldn’t possibly forget such a beauty…”
Thunk!
Hwa Yeonshim placed her wooden leg on the table.
Won Baeguk, startled, blurted out Hwa Yeonshim’s alias.
“Illusion Enchantress!”
“To remember me by my leg rather than my face. How rude of you.”
“Heh heh heh! Your face has changed since we met a few years ago…”
“We met quite intensely a few years ago, didn’t we?”
“I was very disappointed when you rejected my proposal back then, Senior.”
Since Hwa Yeonshim was probably twenty years older than Won Baeguk, the title ‘Senior’ wasn’t wrong.
“What’s past is past…”
Hwa Yeonshim pointed to Hwangbo Hyeonguk, Hwangbo Ryeoseon, and Sang Chiyeon.
“I don’t need to introduce them, do I?”
Won Baeguk’s face filled with smiles.
“How could I not know the precious young masters of the Hwangbo Family?”
Won Baeguk’s warm welcome eased Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s tension a little.
“Thank you for welcoming us so warmly.”
A maid brought tea.
Won Baeguk gestured to the chairs.
“Let’s have some tea while we discuss why you’ve come. You didn’t come just to visit.”
The tea’s fragrance was deep and its taste was good.
After taking a sip of tea, Hwa Yeonshim spoke.
“You know Seol Mujin the merchant, don’t you?”
“Merchant Seol Mujin… Seol Mujin… Ah! Are you talking about that merchant from Jinan?”
‘That cunning bastard!’
Cursing inwardly, Hwa Yeonshim said.
“I heard there’s been friction with Oryongbang.”
Won Baeguk waved his hands dismissively.
“Friction with some mere merchant? But did you come here because of Seol Mujin?”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk stepped forward.
“Brother Mujin has a close relationship with the Hwangbo Family. By close here, I mean that Seol Mujin’s affairs are the Hwangbo Family’s affairs.”
Deep wrinkles formed on Won Baeguk’s brow.
“This sounds like a threat. Is it just my imagination?”
“A threat? Absolutely not. The Hwangbo Family is asking for Oryongbang’s cooperation.”
“What if we don’t want to cooperate?”
When Won Baeguk became confrontational, Hwangbo Hyeonguk was flustered.
He hadn’t thought Won Baeguk would make Seol Mujin an enemy even at the cost of making the Hwangbo Family an enemy.
Hwa Yeonshim spoke up.
“Are you disrespecting the Hwangbo Family, Bang-ju Won?”
A bitter smile crossed Won Baeguk’s lips.
“I sent you to devour the Hwangbo Family, but you became the Hwangbo Family’s dog instead.”
Saying such things meant Won Baeguk knew a lot about the Hwangbo Family’s affairs.
Things that an outsider could never know.
Hwangbo Ryeoseon shot up from her seat.
“How dare you insult the Hwangbo Family! It seems Oryongbang wants to face annihilation!”
“Well. I wonder who will actually face annihilation?”
Hwa Yeonshim couldn’t understand Won Baeguk’s behavior.
Even if Oryongbang’s power rivaled the Odaesega, they couldn’t guarantee victory in an actual fight.
Moreover, Shandong Province also had the Jegal Family, one of the Odaesega.
If the Hwangbo Family and Oryongbang fought, the Jegal Family wouldn’t just stand by.
He clearly knew this situation, yet he was making such provocations.
And with the Third Prince present too.
‘What’s going on?’
Hwa Yeonshim cautiously began gathering her internal energy just in case.
But she felt the internal energy rising from her dantian scatter.
“Damn it! Bang-ju Won! What is the meaning of this!”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk looked at Hwa Yeonshim with puzzled eyes as she suddenly shouted.
“What’s wrong?”
” (Internal Energy Scattering Poison).”
“What?”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s face also contorted as he drew up his internal energy.
“This sinister bastard! As expected of someone from Black Island!”
When Hwangbo Ryeoseon drew her sword, Sang Chiyeon also grasped his sword like a shadow.
Since it wasn’t a potent mountain poison, he could use about fifty percent of his internal energy.
But even with his full strength, this was a dangerous tiger’s den.
With only fifty percent of his martial power, there was absolutely no way to escape this place.
Hwa Yeonshim stopped Hwangbo Ryeoseon from cursing and lowered her voice.
“Bang-ju Won. You know you’re doing something stupid right now, don’t you?”
Just then, the door opened and a voice was heard.
“The stupid ones are you who walked into the tiger’s den with your own feet.”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s group turned their heads and were shocked to see Hwangbo Cheonak.
“Big brother!”
“Cheonak!”
The day after his mother Bae Hyeonjin was captured, Hwangbo Cheonak had disappeared from the family estate.
They thought he had fled or run away, but to meet him here!
Hwangbo Cheonak asked Hwangbo Hyeonguk.
“Am I still your big brother?”
“What do you mean by that? You have never not been my big brother!”
“Even after what mother did?”
“That’s not your fault, big brother.”
“Kuk kuk kuk… A living Buddha has appeared. Then what about the enemy who killed my mother?”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk was left speechless.
Whatever Bae Hyeonjin had done, the person who killed Bae Hyeonjin could only be Hwangbo Cheonak’s enemy.
Hwangbo Ryeoseon asked.
“Are you truly going to seek revenge against father?”
“Why not?”
Hwangbo Cheonak said as he drew his sword.
“I’m curious what expression the family head will make when I send your heads to the Hwangbo Family Estate.”
Hwangbo Ryeoseon pointed her sword at Hwangbo Cheonak.
“People never change. Come on then. I’ll send you to your mother’s side.”
Won Baeguk hurriedly stopped Hwangbo Cheonak.
“Don’t forget your role. You’re just an errand boy going back and forth between that person and me.”
Hwangbo Cheonak gritted his teeth and stepped back, then Won Baeguk turned to look at Hwa Yeonshim.
“How about the wise one makes a wise decision?”
“It seems there’s only one thing I can decide.”
“As expected, very wise. Since you’re precious hostages, we’ll treat you well.”
Hwa Yeonshim looked at Hwangbo Cheonak and asked.
“I see you’ve joined hands with a different prince instead of the Third Prince.”
“Yesterday’s friend becoming today’s enemy is a common occurrence in the murim, isn’t it?”
“Bang-ju Won has spouted a lot of nonsense so far, but he said one thing correctly. That we’re precious hostages.”
“I don’t know about those Hwangbo Family siblings, but are you a precious hostage, senior in illusion arts?”
The corners of Hwa Yeonshim’s mouth rose.
“There are people behind me who are incomparably more frightening than the Hwangbo Family.”
“Who would that be?”
“You’ll find out soon.”
Won Baeguk chuckled.
“They say old ginger is spicy, but that’s quite the bluff.”
When Won Baeguk snapped his fingers, footsteps were heard and Bang Do members appeared carrying handcuffs and leg shackles.
Hwangbo Ryeoseon spoke in a chilling voice.
“You’ll only be able to put those on my corpse.”
She couldn’t accept the humiliation of becoming a hostage while alive.
“Me too.”
Sang Chiyeon felt the same way.
Hwangbo Cheonak let out a sneer.
“Heh heh heh… Your temper will end the Hwangbo Family line. No wait. If that bastard dies here, I’ll be the only one left with Hwangbo blood. Heh heh heh… In the end, I’ll become the head of the Hwangbo Family. Kahahaha!”
Hwa Yeonshim gently pressed down on Hwangbo Ryeoseon’s hand that held the sword.
“Sister…”
“Let’s endure today.”
“You want me to kneel to these Black Island bastards?”
“You’ve never been humiliated in your life, have you?”
“…”
“Experience it this once. It will be a good experience for you.”
“Sister…”
“I promise. I will definitely repay this humiliation.”
Hwangbo Ryeoseon couldn’t turn away from those deep eyes of Hwa Yeonshim.
“You must keep that promise.”
The tip of her sword dropped to the floor with a thud.
Sang Chiyeon asked.
“Young Lady, are we really surrendering?”
“Damn it, let’s think of this as one step back for two steps forward.”
Handcuffs and leg shackles were placed on their hands and feet.
The cold iron, ten times harder than regular iron, couldn’t be broken even if they had their full internal energy.
Hwangbo Cheonak said to Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s group wearing handcuffs and leg shackles.
“How pathetic. I should kill them with my own hands.”
Won Baeguk said to Hwangbo Cheonak.
“There’s someone else you want to kill, isn’t there?”
“Who… Seol Mujin?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you say you’ve become much stronger than before? You should be able to kill Seol Mujin by now, right?”
Hwangbo Cheonak smiled broadly.
“Of course.”
“I’ll give you two hall masters, so go to Jinan.”
“Don’t order me around. I’m not your subordinate.”
“You’re refusing the sincerity of giving you a chance for revenge. Then I’ll have to send only the hall masters.”
“Tch! I didn’t say I wouldn’t go.”
“You’re not scared of losing to Seol Mujin, are you?”
Namgung Cheonag growled.
“Would Bang-ju like to test me?”
“That test would be better done on Seol Mujin. Go kill Seol Mujin and burn down Yeonji-ru.”
***
“What business brings you to see me?”
Hwang Sujang’s voice toward Seol Mujin was full of hostility.
“Good news.”
“Good news?”
“I found out who killed Hwang Hye-ryeong.”
Hwang Sujang wrinkled his brow fiercely.
“The culprit has already been caught, hasn’t he?”
“Dong Muhyeok?”
Seol Mujin shook his head.
“He’s not the culprit.”
“He was caught red-handed, how can he not be the culprit!”
“Red-handed my ass. He’s a victim who lost the woman he loved.”
Bang!
Hwang Sujang slammed his desk.
“Bullshit!”
“I came here with good intentions, but if you’re going to act like this, I should leave.”
Seol Mujin turned around without hesitation and crossed Hwang Sujang’s office.
Just as he was about to grab the door, Hwang Sujang called out to stop him.
“Wait!”
As Seol Mujin’s movement stopped, Hwang Sujang asked.
“Who does Ch’ŏmsa Seol think the culprit is?”
Seol Mujin turned his head and grinned wickedly.
“The real culprit is in this room. It’s either me or you, does that answer your question?”
“What nonsense are you spouting!”
“It was strange from the beginning. No matter how stupid someone is, really. Committing murder in his own room and sleeping there until morning?”
“That was because he was drunk…”
“There are plenty of people who testified that Dong Muhyeok could drink like a fish. But the alcohol Dong Muhyeok drank that day wasn’t even a full bottle.”
“It must have been strong liquor. And there were no signs of anyone else breaking into that room. Both the windows and the door were locked from the inside.”
“Hmm. Coincidentally, this door has the same lock mechanism as Dong Muhyeok’s house.”
