Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 144
Heo Mujeong’s knees touched the ground.
“Please, please save my child! If you would just do that, I will repay this sin with my death.”
“You can’t repay it with death.”
“Pardon?”
“From now on, you must work hard for the Trading Company to repay it.”
“Trading Company Leader…”
“Let’s hurry. We need to reduce his suffering even by an hour. Don’t you think?”
“Thank you, thank you. I will repay this kindness until the day I die!”
“Yes. Work hard until you die to repay it.”

Treating simple poisoning wasn’t even as easy as eating cold porridge for Jeok Wigang.
After completely healing his poisoned Son, Heo Mujeong showed blind loyalty toward Jeok Wigang from that moment on.
“I will send false information to those guys saying we’ll cross through a different route this time. Then they will set up Formation elsewhere and wait for us.”
When Heo Mujeong said he would send false trading information to Cheonhwa Trading Company, Jeok Wigang shook his head.
“No. You need to deliver it properly.”
“What? But then those guys will be waiting for us.”
“Of course they should wait. We’re going to catch those guys, so we can’t send them elsewhere.”
“They are strong. Will you be alright?”
At Heo Mujeong’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled coldly and said.
“If you say that, the kids behind us will get their pride hurt.”
Looking back, there were indeed many Rough-looking Men staring at Heo Mujeong with expressions that seemed offended.
People who looked like they could kill someone just with their expressions.
“Who are those people?”
“Escorts we newly recruited this time.”
Those murderous-looking people are escorts?
I’d believe it if you said they were bandits.
“Everyone’s strong, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
“Behind Tianhua Trading Company is the Tang Family.”
“Should we fear those who are so weak they rely on poison? Our kids are stronger, so don’t worry.”
Just looking at his face, he certainly seemed stronger than the Tang Family.
“Anyone who falls to the Tang Family dies by my hand…”
At Jeok Wigang’s quiet words, everyone stiffened and answered loudly.
“Yes! We understand.”
“Now, let’s depart. At this rate it’ll be night.”
“Are you really going to give them proper information?”
“Yeah. Give them everything down to the details. How many people, what goods, when we depart and when we arrive, everything.”
“Understood.”

Black Blood Gate, one of the three major assassin organizations in the Central Plains.
Gate Master Wi Gang received the commission letter and chuckled.
“These guys really have incredible determination. Even after taking such a beating, they don’t know how to give up.”
“Jinmu Trading Company again?”
“Here, take a look.”
The one who received and examined the commission letter was Muk Jin, Black Blood Gate’s second-in-command known as the Blood Strategy Military Advisor.
He was the Military Advisor who handled all of Black Blood Gate’s major and minor affairs.
“Hmm. The luggage has increased but the personnel has actually decreased from last time. They’re probably squeezing their remaining manpower to try again.”
“Seems like it, right? That’s why they’re incredible guys. Even though Seong territory is prosperous, is it worth risking everything to go there? The Central Plains is so vast, they could develop other places.”
“It must be pride.”
“I’ve seen many people die because of that pride.”
When Wi Gang spoke as if it was pathetic, Muk Jin chuckled.
“Thanks to that, we get to take easy commissions like this and make money.”
“Is that so? Then when you go this time, just rob the goods as much as possible and send them back unharmed.”
At Wi Gang’s words, Muk Jin grinned and said.
“If there are no injured, they’ll try again.”
“Exactly. Tell the client as usual that we injured everyone and sent them back.”
“Understood.”
“Since we need to send them all back unharmed, send the Blood Rain Unit kids and Blood Trace Master.”
“True, sending them back unharmed is much harder than injuring them so they can’t move, so that’s better than sending half-skilled ones.”
The Blood Rain Unit was Black Blood Gate’s finest elite assassins, and Blood Trace Master was one of Black Blood Gate’s four great assassins.
They were truly sending only the elite among elites.
“I wish we could always make money this easily.”
At Wi Garyang’s words, Mukjin smiled and bowed his head.
“I’ll prepare to send out the children.”
“Ah, yes. Good work.”
***
To reach Seongdo, commonly called Chok, one must pass through a plank road called Chokdo.
The mountain where that plank road is located is Geomgak Mountain.
The group moving along Geomgak Mountain’s plank road was Jinmu Trading Company.
“Perfect place to get ambushed.”
As Jeok Wigang looked around and muttered, Ye Yahyeon nodded and said.
“Usually warriors wouldn’t have experience fighting in this kind of environment, so they’d panic. And if the enemy was skilled at climbing cliffs, it would be even harder to engage them.”
Then he looked back and said.
“But the guys we brought this time are experts at cliff climbing, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“We’ll be able to confirm that soon.”
Then he looked in one direction.
“They’re set up in formation over there, waiting?”
Ye Yahyeon felt sorry for the enemies.
Of all people, they had to face Jeok Wigang.
Offering a prayer for their souls in advance, he spoke to the escorts.
“It looks like we’ll engage the enemy soon, so prepare yourselves.”
At Ye Yahyeon’s words, everyone smiled as if they’d been waiting for this and drew their respective weapons.
Ye Yahyeon shook his head after seeing the faces and expressions of the escorts.
Looking at those guys makes us seem like the bad ones.
Gathering only such scary-looking kids is also a skill in its own way.
As they moved forward, something unusual caught the escorts’ eyes.
The escorts tilted their heads with puzzled expressions.
“What’s that? Isn’t that what assassins use for disguise?”
“Aren’t those guys assassins?”
Jeok Wigang, who heard the escorts’ conversation, asked.
“Is that a characteristic of assassins?”
“That’s right.”
Ye Yahyeon said.
“It seems they didn’t come out personally but commissioned an assassin organization. Come to think of it, they wouldn’t send non-professionals to such a dangerous environment.”
“We’ll find out once we catch them and interrogate them.”
“Should we capture them?”
“When those guys make their move.”
“Understood.”
***
– They’re coming. Get ready.
At one assassin’s sound transmission, everyone focused on Jinmu Trading Company.
– Poor bastards. They’re suffering because they met the wrong master.
– Poor? Those guys are lucky. We were told to send them all back unharmed.
– Is that so? This time won’t be fun since there’s no cutting pleasure.
– Kek kek. Right. It was fun watching them suffer. What a shame.
– Stop the chatter. Everyone focus. Those who mess up will have an interview with me after returning.
When the Blood Red Killer leading them warned the assassins with a chilling voice, everyone began to tense up.
– Now! Capture them all!
With the Blood Red Killer’s command, the assassins shed their disguises and moved toward Jinmu Trading Company in unison.
Everyone thought this job wouldn’t be too difficult.
But when the assassins saw their opponents’ faces, they were momentarily flustered.
“Wh-what?”
“Why do they look so menacing?”
“Did they gather all the menacing-looking guys from the Central Plains?”
“What are you doing? Just capture them!”
The assassins who had hesitated began to move again.
Then they saw the escorts of Jinmu Trading Company grinning as they drew their weapons.
It wasn’t an expression of tension, but one of enjoyment.
What?
An inexplicable sense of unease.
But they couldn’t stop now.
Clang-.
The assassins and the escorts of Jinmu Trading Company clashed, and the assassins were bewildered.
Because they had gauged their opponents’ strength from just this one exchange.
“What, what is this?”
The confused assassins.
In contrast, the escorts of Jinmu Trading Company kept laughing and enjoying themselves despite being attacked.
From a distance, it looked like the assassins were the ones being attacked.
Then the angry voice of Blood Red Death could be heard.
“What are you doing? Can’t you do it properly?”
“These guys aren’t ordinary people!”
At one assassin’s cry, veins bulged on Blood Red Death’s forehead.
“You idiotic fools! Making such weak excuses while facing mere escorts! When you return, it’s Hell Training for all of you!”
The assassins were frustrated because he wouldn’t believe them.
“Hehehe. Why? Your boss doesn’t believe you?”
“Frustrating, right? We understand completely.”
“Bosses never understand their subordinates’ difficulties.”
The escorts spoke so casually.
The assassins began attacking the escorts again.
Clang clang- Cha cha clang-!
The assassins were going crazy and jumping mad.
There was no way the escorts who effortlessly blocked all their attacks could be ordinary.
Capture these guys alive?
That’s ridiculous.
Even attacking with full power, it was questionable whether they could catch them.
No, rather, if they let their guard down, they’d be the ones getting beaten.
Only then did Blood Red Assassin sense something was wrong.
“What the hell?”
These weren’t the movements of ordinary escorts.
How should he put it?
Rather than escorts, they felt like people working in the same industry?
In that moment, something flashed through his mind.
“Damn it! They hired assassins too!”
The assassins were flustered by Blood Red Assassin’s outcry.
“Use full power! Those bastards disguised assassins as escorts!”
At Blood Red Assassin’s shout, the momentum of the Black Blood Gate assassins changed instantly.
Feeling the surging killing intent, the escorts showed even more excited expressions.
“Wow! How long has it been since I felt such thick killing intent!”
“Good! Good!”
“Kahahaha! Now I finally feel alive!”
“What are you all doing? Let’s enjoy this!”
“Waah!”
They had released killing intent to intimidate their enemies, but instead it made them even more excited and they began rampaging.
They even started overwhelming the Black Blood Gate assassins.
Blood Red Assassin sensed that something had gone terribly wrong.
“Wh-what the hell are those things?”
He was muttering in confusion when it happened.
“An assassin shouldn’t panic so much over something like this. Isn’t responding to unexpected variables the first principle of being an assassin?”
Startled by the voice suddenly coming from behind, he spun around to see a middle-aged man with a magnificent beard standing there with a grin.
“Wh-when?”
As the Blood Red Assassin panicked, the middle-aged man shook his head.
“To not even notice until the enemy takes position behind you. You don’t even have the basics down as an assassin.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blue hidden weapon came flying right at the middle-aged man’s face.
Papapat-.
The hidden weapon crossed through the air instead of hitting the middle-aged man and embedded in the ground.
“You seem to handle hidden weapons quite well.”
At the voice coming from behind again, the Blood Red Assassin quickly used his body movement technique.
The Blood Red Assassin looked at the middle-aged man with surprised eyes.
He couldn’t believe this situation.
He had just come out with a leisurely sightseeing mood.
It felt like he had fallen into an inescapable trap.
“Wh, who are you?”
“Me? I’m Go Jin, escort leader of Jinmu Trading Company.”
“Escort leader?”
“Why?”
“You’re not an assassin?”
“Assassin? Where do I look like an assassin to you? Don’t I clearly look like an escort leader?”
He clearly looked like an assassin.
Go Jin looked the Blood Red Assassin up and down, then chuckled.
“Seeing that your killing intent is quite something, you don’t seem to be from an ordinary assassin group… If it’s an assassin organization that has someone of your level…”
The Blood Red Assassin chuckled.
How many assassin organizations are there in the Central Plains.
There’s absolutely no way he could guess correctly.
“Black Blood Gate. Right?”
“What are you talking about. You’re wrong.”
“Wrong? That’s strange? If it’s not Black Blood Gate, there’s no way they’d have an assassin of your level?”
“Black Blood Gate isn’t the only assassin organization. There’s also Ghost Kill Group and Nameless Hall, isn’t there.”
At the Blood Red Assassin’s words, Go Jin chuckled.
“Then it is Black Blood Gate.”
It was absurd.
What on earth were they trusting to be so confident?
