Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 151
“We’ve suffered a lot of damage because of the Tang Family all this time.”
At Jeok Wigang’s cold tone, Tang Un spoke desperately.
“I will repay that damage in their stead. I will become Older Brother’s hands and feet and do whatever you command. So please spare the Tang Family.”
“Anyone watching would think I came here to annihilate the Tang Family.”
“It’s not that, but aren’t you someone who could do that if you set your mind to it?”
Tang Un felt Jeok Wigang’s mood softening and let out a sigh of relief.
“If you become the head of the Tang Family, our Jin Mu Sect and the Tang Family could become brothers. Right?”
“If that could happen, it would be the glory of our family clan. If we could become brothers with Older Brother, who is the greatest in history, no, the greatest in the universe, I would do anything.”
His flattery is quite something.
Jeok Wigang shook his head as if he couldn’t win against him.
“I just received word. The Tang Family has accepted our demands. So I’m going to release you all too.”
“Could I stay here longer?”
“Huh? Why?”
“I want to learn more about Older Brother.”
“If you don’t go, we’ll be breaking our promise.”
“Then… I’ll go home and get permission before coming back.”
At Tang Un’s words, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Don’t do that, let’s go together. I have things to discuss with the Tang Family head too.”
At the suggestion to go together, Tang Un looked at Jeok Wigang with a tense expression.
“You don’t need to be so nervous. I’m just going to have a conversation, as I said.”
“I understand. Then I will escort you.”
Tang Un judged that rather than having Jeok Wigang go separately and risk any misunderstandings that could create friction with the Tang Family, it would be better for him to escort him there.
“Alright. Let’s go.”
***
When Dang Un returned, the Dang Family was thrown into chaos.
Setting everything else aside, Dang Pae rushed out and examined Dang Un’s body from head to toe.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“No, Father.”
“Are you in any pain?”
“No.”
“Food? Did those bastards feed you properly?”
“Yes. I was treated excessively well.”
“Does that make any sense?”
“It’s true. They actually treated me so well that I got plenty of rest.”
Dang Pae frowned.
Then he noticed the man standing behind Dang Un and asked.
“But who is this person who came with you?”
“Well…”
How should I introduce him?
The person who kidnapped me?
If I said that, knowing Father’s personality, he would attack first without looking back.
While he was pondering, the man spoke.
“I am Jeok Wigang, the Trading Company Leader of Jinmu Trading Company.”
“What? Jinmu Trading Company!”
Not only Dang Pae but all the Dang Family members present were shocked.
Soon Dang Pae’s face contorted.
“Are you insane? Or have you gone mad with a death wish?”
Seeing Dang Pae looking like he would throw poison needles at any moment, Dang Un quickly stepped in to stop him.
“Ah, Father! Please calm down!”
“Because of that bastard, our Dang Family’s prestige has hit rock bottom. How much will people look down on our Dang Family!”
“You should speak correctly. Our family’s prestige didn’t fall because of him, but because of the Dang Family’s own mistakes.”
“Un-ah. Why are you acting like this? What did that bastard do to you?”
Dang Pae examined Dang Un’s body again with a worried expression.
Then he immediately glared at Jeok Wigang with eyes full of hostility.
“You bastard! What exactly did you do to this child! If you used bewitchment, release it immediately!”
“Father. I possess the Heavenly White Eyes, so nothing can bewitch me. Don’t you know this?”
“Th, that’s…”
It was true.
“Then why are you acting like this?”
“It’s true that we were in the wrong first. Calm your excitement and try having a conversation with him.”
Tang Pae looked at Tang Un.
He could see earnestness in the child’s eyes.
A clever child.
There must be a reason why this child was acting this way.
“Alright. I’ll do as you wish.”
“Thank you, Father.”
He patted Tang Un’s head and then commanded his subordinate.
“We will take our guest to the Reception Hall. Prepare refreshments.”
“Yes!”
Tang Pae glared at Jeok Wigang as he spoke.
“Follow me.”
***
With teacups emitting shimmering steam between them, Jeok Wigang and Tang Pae sat facing each other.
Jeok Wigang casually picked up his teacup and drank from it.
Slurp-.
“Mm. This is premium Dragon Well Tea.”
“What would you have done if I had put poison in that tea, drinking it so carelessly?”
When Tang Pae threw out that remark, Jeok Wigang smiled wryly and said.
“Then I’d have to blame myself for trusting the family head, wouldn’t I?”
If he had put poison in it, he would become a wretch who poisoned someone who trusted him.
“Clever. I don’t engage in such childish acts.”
“I thought as much.”
Dang Pae awkwardly swallowed his laughter and got to the main point.
“Now speak. What is your purpose in wanting to meet me?”
“Negotiation.”
“Negotiation?”
“The damage our Jinmu Trading Company suffered from Cheonhwa Trading Company’s attack is considerable. You need to compensate us.”
“Didn’t you also attack our Cheonhwa Trading Company and steal our goods? I think that’s sufficient?”
“That’s nowhere near enough. Besides, we sent everyone back alive. There’s no comparison.”
“Fine. How much do you want?”
“Ten times the damage Jinmu Trading Company suffered. Then we’ll never make an issue of this matter again.”
“What? Ten times?”
Bang-!
Clang-.
The table shattered under Dang Pae’s fist, and the teacups and refreshments on top spilled to the floor.
“Are you joking right now? Or do you really want to die?”
At Dang Pae’s words, Jeok Wigang’s expression turned cold.
“Do I look like I’m joking right now?”
The moment Dang Pae saw Jeok Wigang’s gaze, he unconsciously flinched.
Then Dang Un, who had been quietly watching, stepped forward.
“Ah, Father. We are in the wrong, aren’t we? Let’s pay ten times the amount.”
Dang Pae looked at Dang Un with a distorted expression.
“You bastard… Why are you acting like this?”
He couldn’t understand it.
The boy who loved and cherished the Dang family more than anyone was now taking that damned bastard’s side.
“Father. Please. Do as he says. Okay?”
Dang Pae felt something strange about Dang Un’s pleading appearance.
“Tell me the reason why we should do this.”
“It’s for the Dang family.”
Dang Un is a child who can see the opponent’s strength.
For him to come out this far means?
Dang Pae looked at Jeok Wigang.
A man who made him flinch with just his gaze, even if only briefly.
– Is that bastard stronger than this father?
Dang Pae cautiously sent a Sound Transmission to Dang Un.
– That’s correct.
– Hmm. No matter how much stronger he is than this father, he couldn’t possibly face the entire Dang family.
– He could handle that and more. No, erasing the Dang family would be far too easy for him.
– What? To that extent?
– Yes. The Subordinate following him is a Divine Realm level Martial Artist.
“What?”
Too shocked, he unconsciously responded with his voice instead of Sound Transmission.
Surprised at himself, he looked at Jeok Wigang.
“Don’t mind me and continue your conversation.”
“That…”
– Father. Why do you think he came alone? He came because he’s that confident. The Dang family isn’t even in his consideration.
– Couldn’t you have seen wrong?
– I couldn’t believe it either, so I looked several times. But it was the same every time. The power he possesses is beyond what I can even measure.
Dang Pae looked at Jeok Wigang again with a shocked expression.
– Right now, he’s giving our Dang family an opportunity. We must seize that opportunity. Father. Please trust me.
Since Dang Un was pleading to that extent, Dang Pae had no choice but to believe him.
– I understand…
Dang Pae ultimately decided to follow Dang Un’s will and spoke to Jeok Wigang.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“Have you decided?”
Dang Pae nodded his head.
“We will compensate you tenfold.”
A smile formed on Jeok Wigang’s lips, which had been expressionless at the Tang Family Head’s words.
“Good.”
“What is the second option?”
“You know Jin Miryeong Haejeon, don’t you?”
“I know him. What is your relationship with him?”
“Haejeon is my subordinate. But the Tang Family keeps bothering my subordinate, which puts me in a bad mood. At the very least, you shouldn’t touch family. Don’t you agree?”
“It was something my subordinate did out of excessive zeal. I apologize.”
“Apologize to Haejeon, not to me. The Family Head should personally apologize and properly clarify the wrongful treatment he suffered.”
Tang Pae was flustered.
To clarify what happened back then, he would have to expose everything the Tang Family had done to Haejeon.
“Wouldn’t it be acceptable to negotiate with Haejeon? I’ll compensate him financially for all his hardships.”
Jeok Wigang shook his head.
“It’s not about money, but about restoring his honor.”
“Then our Tang Family’s honor will fall.”
“That’s why you should have lived honorably from the start.”
Tang Pae’s expression twisted.
This damn bastard.
He wanted to stuff a handful of poison into that mouth right now, but he endured it with superhuman patience.
Tang Pae looked at Tang Un again.
Tang Un nodded.
Haa.
Is this really the right thing to do?
He couldn’t bring himself to say he would do it.
To restore Haejeon’s honor, the Tang Family would have to confess to the world everything they had done to him.
He could do anything else, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do that.
If it became known to the world that they had done such cowardly things to a mere cook, the Tang Family’s prestige would be completely crushed.
Tang Pae looked at Tang Un again.
Sensing that Tang Pae’s gaze had changed, Tang Un spoke.
“Don’t do it, Father.”
“I’m sorry. I cannot let the Tang Family’s prestige be damaged any further here.”
“No, you mustn’t!”
“Leave. This is an order from the Family Head.”
“Father!”
“What are you all doing! Take the Young Family Head away.”
“Yes!”
As his command fell, the air rippled.
From the silent presence, two shadows appeared and grabbed Dang Un’s arms.
Dang Un struggled, but was dragged away with his energy blocked.
“Father! You mustn’t! Father!”
Deliberately ignoring Dang Un’s desperate pleading voice, he glared at Jeok Wigang.
“I was going to let this pass gracefully for Dang Un’s sake if possible. But now I cannot accept that proposal.”
“Is that so?”
“I’ll compensate ten times for the Jinmu Trading Company matter as I said. But I cannot grant the matter of Haejeon. You choose. Whether to salvage at least one thing and return. Or become our enemy as things stand.”
“If I become an enemy, I’ll be in the position of having entered the heart of enemy territory myself.”
“That’s right. No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to leave the Tang Family unharmed.”
To this, Jeok Wigang smiled coldly and said.
“I’ll also give you one last chance. If you say you’ll grant both things even now, nothing will happen. But…”
Jeok Wigang’s eyes turned frighteningly cold.
“If you decide to become my enemy, the Tang Family will have to bear great losses.”
“Fighting with you would simply mean buildings collapsing and people getting hurt. That can be restored with time. But not the family’s prestige. I can’t even fathom how much time and effort it would take to restore that.”
“You’ll regret it. I recommend trusting your son’s eyes.”
“No. I’ve already made up my mind.”
Creak-.
Creak-.
As soon as the Tang Family head finished speaking, doors on all sides opened and countless martial artists were glaring at Jeok Wigang while emanating killing intent.
