| Chapter 110

“That could be possible? But do they really need to go that far? I heard they’re making something called Jeokgang Doksi? Is that thing really that dangerous?”

“Don’t you know what it is?”

“I’ve heard the name, but I wasn’t really interested. Honestly, if you mess up, you get branded as an enemy of the martial arts world, so why would I be interested?”

Ho Won Jik scratched his head as he spoke, clearly not the type to do things he didn’t want to do or study diligently, and Yoo Eun-hyun, who had already figured out Ho Won Jik’s personality, made an expression that said he expected as much while briefly explaining what Jeokgang Doksi was.

“Wow… So that’s what it was? Poison aside, how could they use corpses… Those Ja-hyeol-dang bastards are really vicious. There is a reason why Jeongdo is so afraid of them, isn’t there?”

“But while Jeongdo might feel that way, why would Mado want to attack the Dang family? Honestly speaking, Mado seems similar in not caring about means and methods.”

“Hey. No matter what, they wouldn’t go as far as using such methods, would they? Of course, there might be some crazy bastards who would consider it.”

Judging from Ho Won Jik’s reaction, Ja-hyeol-dang’s infamy seemed to have spread even within Ma-gyo, and even in Mado, which doesn’t care about others’ opinions and follows their own desires, Jeokgang Doksi seemed to be considered something that crossed the line.

“Could it be that Ma-gyo wants to attack the Dang family to steal the technology for Jeokgang Doksi?”

“Uh… Wait a minute. Would they really go that far? But then again, to win the fight against those Jeongdo guys… they might go that far… maybe?”

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s question, Ho Won Jik was about to say no, but then hesitated and tilted his head while lost in thought. The current confrontation between Jeongdo and Mado had reached its peak. While he wondered if they would use such things even to achieve victory, he momentarily thought that if it existed, it wouldn’t be bad to have it.

“Or maybe, as you really said, even Ma-gyo thinks this crosses the line and wants to use it as an excuse to eliminate the bothersome Dang family.”

“Actually, that seems like the most likely possibility. Those Cheonmu-maeng guys would show their useless mercy and just try to end it by removing anything related to Jeokgang Doksi and sealing the family, but our Sect Leader might want to sweep away everything that gets in the way.”

“Hmm… That would be troublesome.”

Yoo Eun-hyun frowned and muttered. If this happened, the Dang family would inevitably become more dangerous, which meant that Yeo U-hui and Ju Won-gong, who were likely inside the Dang family, would also be at higher risk.

Of course, since Jeongdo and Mado were originally targeting the Dang family, it was equally dangerous, but he believed those two could easily extract themselves from the situation. However, this changed things a bit.

“Why? If we have no relationship with them, we don’t need to care at all.”

“That’s not easy. Yu-ryeon’s parents are currently at the Dang family.”

“What? Really? I heard rumors that people from other Jung-do families came to help the Dang family, but could it really be both of your sister’s parents?”

Ho Won Jik hadn’t thought that far and showed a startled expression, and Yoo Eun-hyun spoke to Ho Won Jik again.

“Won Jik. I’m grateful that you trust us and told us about this, but would it be okay to inform the Dang family about this?”

“Huh? Huh? Well, I guess it would be known over time, but the detailed contents are a bit… I can’t become a traitor, you know.”

“To be precise, it’s not to the Dang family but only to Yu-ryeon’s parents. Honestly, the Dang family would be fine, but I can’t just leave those two alone.”

“Now that I hear it, that’s true. They’re your sister’s parents, so there’s no way she could just sit still…”

When Ho Won Jik thought about it from Ju Yu-ryeon’s perspective, it was true that she naturally couldn’t just sit still if her parents were in danger.

Even villains cherish their own blood, so in such a situation, it would be normal for anyone to at least inform them of the news. However, Ho Won Jik turned his head toward Ju Yu-ryeon and then hesitated.

“If it’s our sister, she might actually be able to sit still.”

Looking at Ju Yu-ryeon, who had drunk so much that her eyes were already unfocused and she was completely unconscious, Ho Won Jik commented, and Yoo Eun-hyun also sighed and held his forehead.

“They say when you drink during the day, even your parents can’t recognize you. We’ll make the decision after she sobers up. Let’s go back to the inn for now. Carry her.”

Yoo Eun-hyun stood up and opened the door, leaving as if he absolutely wouldn’t do it himself, and Ho Won Jik, for whom carrying the drunk Ju Yu-ryeon wasn’t a first or second time occurrence, firmly carried Ju Yu-ryeon on his back and followed behind Yoo Eun-hyun.

*

The next day. Yoo Eun-hyun barged into Ju Yu-ryeon’s room, who had fallen asleep drunk the previous day and was only now coming to her senses.

“Are you a bit more conscious now?”

“Ah… My head is killing me. This is why day drinking is dangerous. Is there any water?”

Ju Yu-ryeon licked the empty water container that only had water droplets on it and asked Yoo Eun-hyun.

“Won Jik went to get some.”

“Really? Yesterday Won Jik brought me back, right?”

“You seem to remember?”

“Yeah. I’ve never completely blacked out from drinking. I just can’t control myself, but I have scattered memories.”

Looking at Ju Yu-ryeon, whose thirst wasn’t fake as her voice was almost cracking by the end, Yoo Eun-hyun spoke without giving any particular response.

“You usually don’t drink during the day, so what happened yesterday?”

“I couldn’t even drink while I was at the Dang family because of mom. So I drank after a long time, but I guess fatigue hit me since I stayed up almost all night for several days reading books. I must be getting old. To collapse like this just from staying up a few nights and drinking. Maybe I should retire at a young age.”

Yoo Eun-hyun just stared at Ju Yu-ryeon, who was being dramatic, and Ju Yu-ryeon chuckled and said to him.

“Why are you being so serious? Don’t worry. I won’t retire until I make our Eun-hyun an adult.”

“It’s because of uncle, isn’t it?”

“Uncle? Our dad? Why dad? Why would I drink because of dad? It’s not like dad died, and I saw him perfectly fine the day before yesterday.”

Ju Yu-ryeon tilted her head at Yoo Eun-hyun’s question, but Yoo Eun-hyun could roughly guess from seeing that the amount of alcohol Ju Yu-ryeon drank yesterday was less than expected.

Literally, the Ju Yu-ryeon that Yoo Eun-hyun knew would never collapse from staying up a few nights and day drinking that amount.

And when he thought back, he remembered what happened when they met Ju Won-gong at the Dang family. At that time, she spoke to Yoo Eun-hyun as if it was nothing, but it couldn’t really be nothing.

‘If you could understand the other person’s situation and not yearn for love just because you understand it, then that wouldn’t be love. No matter what, there’s no way she wouldn’t feel disappointed.’

Yoo Eun-hyun thought that she might have drunk during the day and ended up like this because of such mental pressure, but Ju Yu-ryeon just shook her head as if she didn’t know what Yoo Eun-hyun was talking about.

“No. If not, then forget it.”

Yoo Eun-hyun had no intention of pressing further when Ju Yu-ryeon said no, and even if he pressed and she said yes, there wasn’t much he could do beyond comforting her, so he just shook his head.

And at the same time, when Ho Won Jik returned with the water container, Ju Yu-ryeon said bluntly.

“You’re late.”

“I went to get it right away, so what do you mean late. Phew.”

Even as Ju Yu-ryeon said that, she immediately gulped down the water, and as she put down the container, she winked at Yoo Eun-hyun with some kind of meaningful look.

And Yoo Eun-hyun, who understood the meaning of that look, smiled slightly. It was probably a look with many meanings, but there was no need to press and figure it out.

“Phew. Now I’m a bit more conscious.”

“Did you hear all of our conversation yesterday?”

“Only up to the middle. After that, well… Hehe.”

“At least I’m fortunate that I only need to explain half of it.”

Yoo Eun-hyun showed a positive attitude of seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty and briefly explained to Ju Yu-ryeon the conversation he had with Ho Won Jik yesterday.

“Hmm… Ma-gyo is coming on pretty strong.”

“What do you think? It seems like they’re really planning to attack the Dang family, right?”

“The timing overlapping with when you, Eun-hyun, escaped from Ma-gyo is a bit concerning… Actually, the Dang family started causing trouble around that time too. It must be a coincidence.”

“It must be, right? Putting the Dang family aside, shouldn’t we tell uncle and aunt about this? Honestly, there’s no need for them to get swept up and fall into danger. At this level, it would be better to tell them to withdraw.”

“That’s true, but…”

Ju Yu-ryeon agreed with Yoo Eun-hyun’s opinion but frowned as if something bothered her.

“Why? Is there something that concerns you? Didn’t aunt originally have no intention of getting deeply involved? Wouldn’t she withdraw if it becomes this dangerous?”

“Mom is fine. Dad is the problem.”

“Ah…”

Yoo Eun-hyun realized at Ju Yu-ryeon’s words. Certainly, Yeo U-hui was a very rational person, so she would quickly withdraw if the danger level increased.

But Ju Won-gong? Ju Won-gong, who prioritized everything, seemed like he wouldn’t care about such dangers.

“For now, even though dad belongs to the Uiseonsu family, he doesn’t know martial arts, and since he goes around treating people without discrimination, he has a good reputation in both Jeongdo and Mado, so he should be fine. And…”

Ju Yu-ryeon was about to say something more but glanced at Ho Won Jik and then closed her mouth. It seemed there was something more about Ju Won-gong, but she seemed reluctant to say it.

“Whatever choice they make, you agree that we should inform them, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Then let’s send them the message. Won Jik. Is that okay?”

When Yoo Eun-hyun turned his head and asked Ho Won Jik, Ho Won Jik sighed deeply and said.

“If I say it’s not okay, won’t you tell them?”

“It would just hurt our hearts to do something you said you’re not okay with.”

“Thank you for saying it would hurt, not just hurt a little…”

“Right. It seems we’ve grown quite fond of you too, Won Jik. Hahaha.”

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s words, Ho Won Jik was naturally… not moved at all. Until yesterday, he was being forgotten by these two people, so what emotion could arise? And it seemed these two had even forgotten the fact that they had been forgetting him.

“Sigh. How long has it been since I came out, and I have to go back to the Dang family again?”

“Is there really a need for that? We’re just delivering a message, so there’s no need to go directly.”

“As I said yesterday, Eun-hyun, you don’t know how important this matter is, do you? The biggest problem is that there’s no one trustworthy enough to entrust with delivering that message.”

Ho Won Jik nodded at Ju Yu-ryeon’s words.

“Sister is right. If this gets leaked to Jeongdo by mistake, and they find out that we’re the source of that information… it would become very troublesome, wouldn’t it?”

“Ah. That’s certainly true. If we get caught wrong, there’s no way to make excuses for this.”

Yoo Eun-hyun thought of Jang Deok-hyeong and frowned. If they received this information from Ho Won Jik and passed it to the Dang family, it was obvious they would be suspected of being double agents on the Mado side while standing with the Dang family.

“There’s no choice. Then let’s briefly go to the Dang family and come back. Won Jik, what are you going to do? Are you returning to Honjakmun?”

“Well… Actually, I told them I had other personal missions to attend to. To go back now would be a bit…”

“Then want to come with us?”

“But then again, going to the Dang family is also a bit…”

“Then what do you want to do?”

“That’s what I’m asking. What should I do?”

Ho Won Jik made a troubled expression as if he really didn’t know what to do and asked Yoo Eun-hyun and Ju Yu-ryeon back, and Ju Yu-ryeon finished all the water in the container and threw the container at Ho Won Jik while saying.

“Still, I can’t just abandon you and leave. It’s simple, isn’t it? We can disguise ourselves and go together.”

“Disguise?”

“Right. In the end, as long as we don’t get caught, that’s what matters, so we can just go in disguise.”

“Oh… That’s true? But we don’t have any disguise materials.”

“There’s a place I know nearby, so I’ll go out and buy some things.”

“Ah, you must be talking about that place.”

“Right. For hangovers, it’s better to move around a bit rather than just lying down. You guys go to the room. Get washed up and change your clothes.”

Then Ju Yu-ryeon actually got up from her seat and started taking off her clothes, and the two men were naturally pushed out of the room as if being chased away.
