Chapter 16

Episode 16:

Early in the morning, Dan Woo-hyeon, who was sitting in the training hall practicing Ungong, slowly opened his eyes due to a sudden wind blowing.

The wind was blowing from the east.

It wrapped around Danwoohyeon once and then disappeared.

“It will be windy.”

Dan Woo-hyeon spit out something incomprehensible and stood up.

Soon, he glanced at one side of the training hall.

I saw a familiar face.

It’s already been two hours since Jang Sam-tae broke out in a cold sweat.

I was diligently practicing Taijiquan, which even third-rate people don’t know how to master. However, the movement was very different from the past.

It was even different from ordinary tai chi. Dan Woo-hyeon quietly looked at it.

Although Jang Sam-tae didn’t seem to feel it, he could feel the internal force at his fingertips. Unbeknownst to him, internal power was naturally rising from the Danjeon.

This was a good thing.

“It’s time. “Let’s wake Somi up and have her eat.”

“Hehe... Hehe, can’t we just rest for a bit?”

“I guess you miss the smell of dirt.”

“...I’ll go.” Jang Sam-tae rushed out with a pale complexion.

What Dan Woo-hyeon just said meant that if he keeps giving up, he will bury it.

‘He’s a very noble human being even when he threatens.’

Jang Sam-tae grumbled inwardly and quickly headed to the kitchen.

Dan Woo-hyeon also walked slowly and when he arrived in the yard, he saw Hwa So-mi sitting on the veranda with a disheveled appearance. I felt like I was still half asleep as I was staring blankly into space.

“Are you awake?”

“Uhm...”

As expected, I haven’t woken up yet.

The child rubbed his eyes and then stretched out his hands.

Are you asking for a hug?

He held Hwa So-mi in his arms with a happy smile. Perhaps because of the sensation of being lifted, he immediately burst into laughter.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Okay, I slept well.”

“Somi slept well too. lol.”

Then it came right into my arms.

The way it buried its face and rubbed it looked like a cat.

A strong sense of paternal love arose at the sight of him being cute. He stroked Hwa So-mi’s head roughly and carefully put her down.

“Wash up and come back. “I have to eat breakfast.”

Hwa So-mi shook her head.

It looks like he doesn’t want to eat. Well, there is no way I would have any appetite in a situation that just happened.

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and cautiously opened his mouth.

“If you don’t eat breakfast, you won’t grow well.”

“But Somi—you don’t have to grow up...”

“And then a ghost comes that only snatches children who don’t eat.”

“Eh?!”

Hwa So-mi suddenly stood up.

He looks quite shocked at hearing that he is a ghost. His body was shaking and he looked up at Dan Woo-hyeon with shaking eyes.

It was as if he was asking if it was true.

“ o ......”

TZ厂.....-

Dan Woo-hyeon hesitated.

Should I tell him the truth or should I just lie like this? Why did you lie yourself while teaching your child not to lie?

That kind of thinking.

Then he quickly nodded.

In order to raise a child properly, there are times when lying is necessary.

“It’s true.”

“Bar”... I’ll eat! “Somi is going to eat.■”

But they were definitely different from ordinary people.

A man looked around and sat down at a stall.

“One somen.”

After giving a simple order, he quickly rolled his eyes and looked around. It seemed like he was trying to figure out something by looking at each person passing by.

Spindle valley.

He was a man who was leading the Black Blade Club’s Pyo-pungdae.

Pyopungdae specialized in assassinations and intelligence gathering and was famous for never failing in its work.

Just by looking at the fact that the Heukdohoe sent a ticket, it was clear how seriously they took this issue.

-Great Lord, it is said that tomorrow the prefectural decree will transport Changbai Mountain and its members to the imperial palace.

The man chuckled as he ate somen that came out before he knew it.

Well, being locked up in Agyang for the past three months was a strange thing in itself. Others in the prefecture may have wanted to use their tactics to gain information, but most of the members of the Black Island Association were trained to resist torture.

At best, he would not give in to the prefect.

But the problem is that if you are taken to the imperial family, you will be in trouble.

There were Alumni and Geumwiwi, and they were the ones who would commit cruel acts that could not even be compared to the Hyeonryeong.

Then there were two conclusions.

Rescue them or kill them.

Bangchugok stirred somen with chopsticks and made a sound.

-What is the probability of getting it out?

– Considering the number of police officers in the government and the surrounding situation, it is not a disaster.

It was not an easy task, as the man with whom I was just exchanging messages said. As such, the government’s guard was very strict. Entering secretly was not a problem, but rescuing them was almost impossible. There

would likely be many victims.

In terms of purpose, it was best to save only Jangbaek Mountain, but it was not worth sacrificing Pyo Pungdae to save it.

-Slaughter.

_Myeong

I drank the remaining somen and chewed Bangchugok deeply.

All those caught are killed.

Dealing with those guys was easier than flipping the floor. The remaining problem now was to find out the identity of the man named Jang Sam-tae, the Hyeonryeong, and the hidden man who had made this happen.

‘Sometimes the world is like a hiding place.’

Bang Chugok burst out laughing as if it was absurd.

There are many kin directors in this martial arts group. Among them, the strong ones were truly strong, but most of them were not.

These are people who live quietly with only a few vaguely learned moves and slightly better skills than third-rate people.

This time too, I thought maybe it was that way. He seemed to have some skill, but as long as this Bangchugok goes astray, he will definitely die.

While thinking about that, I turned my head and saw a person.

‘It’s a bastard!’

He suddenly stood up without me realizing it. It’s the same as the face I saw when I looked at it.

The person who had the last transaction with the secret merchant Jang Sam-tae and is most likely to know the secret merchant’s identity.

Bang Chugok quickly followed him. I saw Jang Sam-tae, who was looking around to check something, suddenly disappearing into the crowd. In his haste, Bang Chugok’s steps also quickened.

‘damn! ‘What’s so fast?’

It was much faster than I thought.

I was able to easily get through this crowd of people.

Eventually, I left the main street and seemed to be moving west, then entered a small alley. The moment Bangchugok quickly followed in there,

“No... Huh?”

It wasn’t visible.

No matter how fast a person was, they couldn’t disappear so quickly, so I looked for traces around me one by one, but there wasn’t even a trace.

Bang Chugok ground his teeth.

“Damn it...”

I don’t know if he noticed and ran away, or if there was a place he could hide in this area, but I couldn’t hide my anger at the thought of missing out.

Then, I walked again along the same path that Jang Sam-tae was moving. It was because I was hoping that I might be able to find even a small clue.

Then, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

‘Gwanbu...”.’

It was clear that the guy was hanging around the government office.

Bang Chugok’s cool gaze did not leave the government office.
