Chapter 191

Swoooosh―

The ferry approached without anyone rowing, creating splashes like a motorboat.

I didn’t have the mental capacity to be amazed by that.

Because the look in Grandpa Tak and Eok Grandfather’s eyes, who stood at the front, was far from ordinary.

The two of them were glaring at Hojeon Grandfather as if they had encountered their greatest enemy in the world.

“How dare a mere bandit!”

“Our granddaughter!”

“Get away from her right now!”

Oh my!

I was seriously flustered.

I was already dying from the absurdity of the two appearing in Chaohu, but seeing them burst into anger the moment they arrived made my mind go blank.

“G-Grandfathers! What brings you here?”

“What brings us here!”

“We rushed over immediately when we heard something strange was clinging to our granddaughter!”

The two grandfathers burst into loud voices one after another, as if they had rehearsed their lines in advance.

“Did that bastard harm you in any way?”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Why would I be hurt? Please calm down, I beg you!”

No matter how much I waved both hands saying no, it didn’t work. The two of them weren’t listening to me at all.

“Do we look like we can calm down right now?”

“That vicious bandit is trying to steal my granddaughter!”

“Eh? What did you say?”

This was way off the mark, completely off.

“Who’s stealing whom?”

At my question, Grandpa Tak and Eok Grandfather simultaneously pointed their fingers at Hojeon Grandfather.

“That bastard!”

“That bandit bastard!”

Oh my goodness!

I smacked my forehead with my hand.

“Did you fly here because of the messenger bird I sent?”

At this speed, they really must have flown here.

How many days has it been since I sent it, and the two of them are already here?

“Ahem!”

Then Hojeon Grandfather, who had been quietly watching, stepped forward.

“Who might you be?”

By my standards, it was an infinitely polite question.

Nevertheless, Eok Grandfather bristled as if he had heard profanity.

“What? You don’t even know who we are?”

“Are you acquainted with me?”

“There’s no way I’d be acquainted with a mere bandit!”

Eok Grandfather completely disregarded Hojeon Grandfather with determination.

I could feel Hojeon Grandfather holding back his anger beside me.

It seemed like he wanted to snap back by nature, but was enduring it solely because of me.

“Then would you reveal who you are?”

“Hah!”

Eok Grandfather cleared his throat and introduced himself directly.

“I am the Supreme Family Head of the Dang Family, Dark King! My daughter raised Seolha from when she was a nursing infant!”

“Ah, so you’re Cheonsu Dokhwa’s father. I did hear that you took in and raised my granddaughter during the refugee period.”

“So you do know!”

“In any case, isn’t that saying you personally did nothing?”

“What, what?”

‘Oh, Bandit Grandfather.’

That’s quite the truth bomb, isn’t it?

I looked at Hojeon Grandfather with inwardly admiring eyes.

“And who might you be?”

This time he asked Grandpa Tak.

“I am Seolha’s maternal grandfather.”

“Oh, are you an in-law?”

Bandit Grandfather’s tone changed completely from when he was addressing Eok Grandfather.

“In-law?”

“The mole on Seolha’s shoulder, that’s a mole passed down in our family. Look here.”

Bandit Grandfather quickly bared his shoulder to show five red moles, star-shaped marks.

“I had a son I lost when he was young. I spent my whole life searching for him. Then by chance, I witnessed the mole on Seolha’s shoulder. Though they say my son is dead, I was so happy that he left me a granddaughter. I’m truly grateful that you’ve taken such good care of Seolha and raised her so beautifully.”

When Bandit Grandfather expressed his sincere gratitude, Grandpa Tak seemed to have nothing particular to say and just nodded his head.

Then Eok Grandfather tapped Grandpa Tak’s shoulder and glared at him.

“What are you doing right now?”

“Isn’t it true that our Seolha is lovely?”

“Who doesn’t know that? Did you already forget the promise we made on our way here?”

“Ah!”

Just as Grandpa Tak’s expression was about to turn fierce again.

“Do you perhaps remember my son, in-law?”

“Are you talking about No Jong-un?”

“That’s right. Though that wasn’t his real name… He was so young that he probably couldn’t remember his name. I suppose it’s fortunate he at least didn’t forget his surname.”

“Was that so? That boy…”

“Look here, Mr. Tak! Are you going to keep getting sidetracked?”

Eok Grandfather gritted his teeth and growled.

Then Grandpa Tak flinched and raised his voice loudly.

“In my memory, Seolha’s father didn’t have such a mole on his shoulder! Stop making things up!”

“Are you certain of that memory?”

“If there had been such a distinctive mole, I would have remembered it too!”

“In-law, think carefully. Seolha is a treasure left by our son and daughter. You must have liked my son too, since you made him your son-in-law, right?”

“Jong-un was a good boy…”

“Hey!”

Finally, Eok Grandfather exploded.

His lion’s roar shook Chaohu and echoed.

“Even if dirt gets in my eyes, I cannot acknowledge this!”

As soon as he finished speaking, feathered darts shot out from Eok Grandfather’s sleeves like a swarm of bees.

Whiiiing―

Clatter clatter!

The destination of those feathered darts was naturally Bandit Grandfather.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Hojeon Grandfather drew his sword and created a sword barrier with his energy.

Sparks flew as Eok Grandfather’s hidden weapons stuck into the semi-transparent barrier.

Splash!

The ferry rocked greatly from the impact, and I, who had been caught off guard, almost fell over.

“How dare you scatter hidden weapons when my granddaughter is here?”

An angry roar finally burst from Bandit Grandfather, who had been holding back quite well.

“A guy who couldn’t even make it into the Ten Masters dares to act up? Shall I just chop off your head?”

Bandit Grandfather’s personality came out.

As befitting someone who rolled around in mountain strongholds, his vocabulary is quite exceptional.

“Come here, you bastard! So you’re one of the Ten Masters, is that it?”

A sneer appeared on Eok Grandfather’s lips.

He’s someone who becomes a corpse without his pride, so he was properly provoked.

“Good, let’s have a fight!”

Eok Grandfather leaped up from the ferry.

Surprisingly, where grandfather landed was above the lake.

Every time Eok Grandfather’s feet grazed the lake surface, ripples formed, but his body bounced forward like a light bird without any wavering.

“Wow! Walking on water!”

I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at Eok Grandfather’s almost miraculous movements.

“Where are you showing off such petty tricks! Walking on water and such!”

Huh?

Bandit Grandfather, why are you looking at me and shouting?

Then, like Eok Grandfather, he got off the boat and ran refreshingly across the water!

Kwaaaaang!

A tremendously high water column shot up from the middle of Chaohu.

Due to the collision of the two grandfathers, storm-like waves arose on the previously calm lake.

Just before the ferry I was on was about to capsize, Grandpa Tak came over and pressed down on the rocking boat.

“Is our granddaughter alright?”

Grandpa Tak looked after my well-being with his usual benevolent smile.

“Aren’t you going to fight, Grandfather?”

“Why, should this old man also go out and fight?”

“No!”

“One must maintain dignity in front of one’s granddaughter. Indeed.”

Grandpa Tak subtly badmouthed Eok Grandfather and Bandit Grandfather.

“By the way, who do you think will win?”

“Um, Grandfather.”

“Yes, what is it.”

“I don’t think that’s what’s important right now.”

“Hm?”

I pointed forward with my finger.

Grandpa Tak, who had only been looking at me, finally sensed something was wrong and turned his gaze.

In the center of the lake.

Bandit Grandfather holding a sword and Eok Grandfather surrounded by hidden weapons were glaring at Grandpa Tak.

“You’re the worst one!”

“Oh my, this person! Seolha is here too.”

“In-law! Now that I look at you, you’re truly an interesting fellow! Hehehe!”

Bandit Grandfather gripped his sword and took a stance.

It was truly a hair-trigger situation.

“Heave!”

Eok I-geon, who had been quiet, suddenly came over to the ferry where I was.

“Tak Ga-ju, excuse me for a moment.”

Eok I-geon passed by Grandpa Tak and extended his hand to me.

“Come with me.”

“Pardon?”

“It would be better to stay away from here.”

Eok I-geon suddenly lifted me up in his arms. Then he leaped to the ferry he had come on.

“Young Master?”

It was when I called him in bewilderment.

“Oh, walking on air!”

Someone who was boating shouted.

When I quickly turned around, Eok Grandfather was already floating in midair.

He really does love walking on air.

“Th-that’s walking on water!”

Not to be outdone, Bandit Grandfather cut across the lake like skating and aimed for Grandpa Tak’s side.

Whiiing—

Swooooosh!

Eok Grandfather’s hidden weapons and Bandit Grandfather’s sword energy struck down on Grandpa Tak.

“Hehe, you’re looking down on me too much.”

Sling—

When Grandpa Tak flicked his finger, a sword flew up to the sky.

“E-even a flying sword!”

Kuoooo!

The sword floating in midair roared ferociously.

The moment the three energies collided!

Kwaaaaaaaang—

With an explosive sound incomparable to before, the entire lake was turned upside down.

“Kyaaaah!”

“Blub! Someone save me!”

“Uuugh!”

Countless ferries that had come out for boating capsized, and the quiet and peaceful Chaohu instantly turned into a disaster scene.

“Excuse me! Grandfathers!”

I got down from Eok I-geon’s arms and shouted.

“What are you doing right now? Have you all gone crazy!”

I was so angry that my hands automatically went to my hips.

“All three of you! Look at me right now!”

I yelled at the top of my lungs.
