Chapter 306

[Episode 99: Youngest Leader Candidate (4)]

Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon was perplexed by the death of a middle-aged man who appeared to be a bodyguard.

It's natural for him to be surprised.

I've been doing so much surveillance, but I never would have imagined that they would approach me this way.

There is no better technique to catch an opponent off guard than the embodiment technique.

However, the guy's face, which seemed to be in constant distress, soon regained its composure.

Does that mean you have that much experience?

He looked at me with a stern expression and said.

“There’s no way it’s a bast face... Could it be a reverse magic?”

Inversion surgery is a type of technique that can forcibly change facial muscles.

However, compared to embodied transformation, it is less sophisticated, has many loopholes, and is not a method that can be maintained for a long time.

It can be seen as a similar principle to the Chukgolgong practiced by Master Haeakcheon.

“That’s amazing. “I’ve never seen a reverse technique that mimics another person’s face with such precision.”

“You’re quite calm.”

“Is there anything to be surprised about? “The fact that we already know Nobu’s title in the organization means that your identity has become clear.”

I snorted and asked him.

“What is my identity?”

“Sogeomseon Sounhwi, no, Geomseon’s descendant.”

It's not that I don't have any sense.

In fact, he must have had this level of insight to be able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Murim League and advisor to Geum Sang-je.

“I know very well. “Then you know why I came, right?”

Commander Bang Deok-hyeon chuckled at my words.

Was it bold to take it easy in this situation, or was it desperation?

“Do you see if I’m laughing?”

“I laughed because of the variables that Nobu could not have assumed.”

It is difficult for anyone to realize that I can disguise myself as someone else.

Those who became enemies were killed one by one.

The only living person is Seolbaek.

I spoke to Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.

“I won’t go into a long story. After all, I know how well you guys follow the Golden Sangje.”

“I hope the old man will tell me everything about him.”

“that's right.” Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

“Then, as you predicted, you know very well that Nobu will not say anything.”

“I guess so.”

With those words, I approached Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.

If you're not going to open your mouth anyway, there's no reason to drag it out.

There is no time.

Then he smiled leisurely at me and said,

“Killing Nobu is your freedom, Geomseon’s descendant, but can you handle it?”

“Take care of the back?”

He said to me, tapping his head with his finger.

“Nobu has survived this difficult martial arts world with only one head and has endured for a long time. But don’t you think we could have predicted such an unexpected variable at all?”

“You are very overconfident in yourself.”

“Do you think you won’t be caught killing Nobu and replacing him? Nobu has always been prepared for chaos using bast noodles or reverse magic. Even if you imitate Nobu, you can never replace Nobu.”

It seems like they prepared a password that only they can understand in preparation for this kind of situation.

The military is military, right?

It seemed like he had put his head to work and came up with a solution.

Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon continued speaking, gesturing to the surroundings.

“Ah, if you’re thinking of changing your methods and killing Nobu and leaving quietly, I recommend you give up too. Why do you think Nobu only had a desk and table in his office?”

As he said, for a military office, it was extremely clean, without any books or bookshelves.

So that it is difficult to hide any item.

The guy raised his mouth and said.

“Nobu is very wary and has arranged for the organization’s unmanned personnel to come to the office to conduct reconnaissance once in a while. “How are you going to hide the dead?”

The guy’s face became triumphant.

It seems he was convinced that he had put me in a difficult situation.

He seemed to think that I could not escape the measures he had devised in any way, and he spoke more leisurely, taking a drink from the teacup on the table.

“Slurp. “I can’t wait.”

“expectation?”

“I was hoping that you would break away from Nobu’s tricks. It is said that someone who can please Nobu with as much resourcefulness as that friend has appeared. “But I’m disappointed.”

The guy clicked his tongue and continued talking.

“I had some expectations, but I was overconfident in my own incompetence and intelligence. If you were going to hit him on the head, you should have found Nobu's loophole and pushed him to the end. “Nobu speaks highly of you for doing things without thinking like this.”

“............”

“Well, it’s not easy to find someone who can please Nobu like that friend, Zhuge Won-myeong, whom I personally raised.”

With those words, the guy tried to move his legs slightly.

At this, I grinned and raised my hand.

Then, as if he couldn't move his body, he trembled and frowned.

When I waved my left hand towards the desk, the desk was dragged to the side by an object in the air, and I saw something that looked like a step that I could press on underneath.

“You’ve gone through a lot of trouble looking for an opportunity to press.”

I controlled the bloodstream of the guy so that he could not open his mouth, then grabbed his head and sent out thunder energy.

-Pachichichichik!

“Gwaggggggggg.”

The electrocuted guy groaned and convulsed all over his body.

Then he started drooling and looked at me with a blank expression.

Part of my brain had been completely burned off, and I felt like I had become a complete idiot.

- Swoosh!

I let my energy flow into my head and checked its condition.

There are no signs of regeneration or recovery.

As Seolbaek said, it seemed clear that the guy had not had any surgery.

I placed a sword in that guy's hand.

Then,

“Hmm, I don’t like my old body.”

Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon complained to me in a bitter voice.

I wish that body wouldn't be so twisted.

It's a bit gross.

Around noon in the afternoon.

All elders from each faction gathered in the main conference room of the Murim League.

This is for the meeting to elect a leader to be held tomorrow, which has been kept confidential until now.

Most of the elders had taken their seats, and even Jin Gyun, the vice leader, showed up and sat down, but the commander-in-chief, Bang Deok-hyeon, had not yet appeared.

Everyone could not hide their surprise as the great man, who usually showed up on time, was late.

‘Why are you late?'

‘The person who decided to make a motion here....'

The elders who had made their arrangements in advance expressed their concerns internally.

If he does not come forward and make a motion, someone among the elders will have no choice but to come forward and make a motion, which will incur the outright disapproval of the vice leader Jingyun.

Just like that, a moment passed.

In the meantime, as the general military had not yet appeared, Vice Commander Jingyun showed signs of discomfort.

“Why hasn’t the general military arrived yet?”

In response to his question, Master Li Sima Zhongxian made a gesture and called someone.

“Go to the military camp immediately and bring the generals together...”

That was right then.

-Kkeeeeeeeek!!

The door to the conference room opened, and Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon appeared, dragging a cane that looked quite heavy, unlike usual.

Vice leader Jingyun tried to ask why he was so late, but then frowned.

Because there was a person coming in behind Bang Deok-hyeon.

“Sogeomseon?”

“What about Sogeomseon?”

He was none other than Sogeomseon Sounhwi.

When General Commander Bang Deok-hyeon appeared with him at the grand meeting in which only members of the martial arts league at the elder level or higher could participate, most people looked puzzled.

‘Why are those two together?'

This was also the case for the elders who decided to work with Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.

At least those two aren't the ones moving together.

‘What on earth is going on?'

‘Could it be that there was a change in the plan?'

The purpose of this meeting was also to exclude Sogeomseon So Unhwi from being a candidate for election as leader.

At that time, Master Li Sima Zhongxian stood up and spoke loudly.

“Total military. You're late. However, this is an important meeting. “I understand that entry is not permitted except for the elders and the military department.”

At his words, Commander Bang Deok-hyeon opened his mouth.

“Let me start by saying I’m sorry to everyone for being late. And Nobu invited Sogeomseon to join him because an important issue arose at this meeting.”

“What is this, a major problem?”

In response to that question, So Un-hwi took the lead and spoke to the elders.

“I would like to first apologize for coming into this situation without permission and causing inconvenience to the vice leader and other elders.”

In response to his words, Jong-oh Jin-in, a new member of the independent faction, opened his mouth.

“Primordial Heavenly Zone. Primitive Heavenly Zone. I don't know what the serious problem is, but the law was made to be strictly followed. Sogeomseon, please leave for now.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can do that.”

“what?”

At this, the expressions of the elders became scary.

In particular, Vice Lord Gyun Gyun directly expressed his discomfort.

“Brother So. Although I may be acquainted with you, this is not a place where you can enter without permission. “If you don’t leave right away...”

“Please look at this first.”

Before he could finish his words, So Woon-hwi took something out of his arms.

It was wrapped in cloth, and when it was opened, something that looked like a long needle was revealed.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s a long needle coated with phantom poison.”

“Hwanma poison?”

To Jin-gyun, the vice leader who was questioning him, So Woon-hwi pointed to Bang Deok-hyeon, the commander-in-chief, who was holding a cane, and spoke in a voice of regret.

“Everyone, Master Bang Deok-hyeon of the General Military has been under the control of this illusion poison.”
