Chapter 82

Episode 82:

Something is strange.

Hu Hu-ryeong frowned as he thought about that. Those who had to be kicked out of the manor by Hyeonseung and Yoo Yak-jung were still there, and those who were supposed to be paid to do the work did not seem to have disappeared.

At first, I thought he must have gone somewhere for a few days, but since I haven’t heard from him in over 10 days, I wondered if something had happened for four months.

‘Why did it become like this?’

Hu Hu-ryeong suddenly thought about his actions so far.

The reason he came to Akyang was to find the secret treasure of God Mu. In order to confirm what had only been rumored, the area around Dongdong Lake had to be thoroughly searched, which necessitated the need for a manor.

Was it necessary?

no.

In fact, if we had started by setting up a tent nearby, enough time had passed that we would have already figured something out.

Still, what didn’t you do?

It’s pride.

What is a manor?

The confident and shameless behavior of that guy named Jangju was annoying, so at first it was simply an intention to harass him.

But as this was gradually not going as planned, I began to focus only on that task without realizing it and started gnashing my teeth at them.

In the meantime, even Yuyakjung disappeared.

“What... Lord Moon!”

While I was frowning and thinking that, I suddenly heard a voice. Surprised, Hu Hu-ryeong naturally looked away and opened his mouth.

“What’s going on?”

“There was a big problem. Ah, a corpse was found at the foot of the cliff of Akroksan Mountain...”

“Because?”

“It’s called Yu-glazing!” “What...what!”

“The body has now been collected and taken to the government office. “It has already decayed beyond recognition, but judging by the clothes it is wearing and its nameplate, it is certain!”

Surprised, Hu Hu-ryeong opened his eyes wide.

Seeing him speak with such confidence, it seemed like there was no doubt about it. Why did he suddenly die and become a corpse?

Hu Hu-ryeong, who had been thinking that far, gritted his teeth.

‘They...!’

It’s definitely them.

The day after they said they would leave the manor, they were still staying at the manor and Yu Yak-jung had disappeared. Of course, there will be only them.

This is how things got complicated again.

Hu Hu-ryeong suddenly stood up, got ready, and headed to the government office.

‘You idiots! ‘You disturbed the beehive like this.’

It is truly a pity that Yu Yao-jung died.

However, an opportunity arose to strike down those who had turned his plans into a bubble one after another.

Now that there was no Hyeonryeong, if they could instigate them even a little, taking the manor would not have been a problem.

When I arrived at the government office, the area was already extremely cluttered.

Many people gathered around and were busy chatting. Some police officers were sitting down in a corner with pale faces, vomiting, as if they had seen something they shouldn’t have seen.

When Hu Hu-ryeong tried to enter the government office, the police blocked his path.

“What brought you here?”

“I heard that Hyunseung died. Is that true?”

“...That’s right.”

After staring at Hu Hu-ryeong for a moment, Pojol soon realized Hu Hu-ryeong’s identity. This means that he is the gatekeeper of Punggeommun Gate who used to go with Hyeonseung.

For a moment, the police officer’s gaze became grim.

“I know who killed him.”

“What are you talking about? “Hyunseung committed suicide.”

“what? What nonsense are you talking about! Suicide? “How could a sane person do something like that!”

“All right.”

Sasasasak-!

A group of people quickly moved towards the manor.

It was unusual to see all of them holding swords in their hands and exuding excitement.

Those who are originally martial artists, and those from political factions belonging to the Murim Alliance, consider it taboo to touch those who do not know martial arts.

But are taboos really that important?

This is how the powerful subdue the weak. It is a human instinct that has been passed down for a very long time, and that is why people make such efforts to have power.

Also, isn’t it funny to have power but not use it?

“see. “Don’t leave a single one alive!”

“yes!”

The disciples nodded at Munju Hu Hu-ryeong’s command.

It wasn’t the first time they killed someone. That’s why they expertly headed to the manor.

As the place got closer, their vitality soared like an explosion.

Finally, it was time to climb over the fence and dig inside.

Plop!

A rock flew out of nowhere and hit a man on the head. His beaten body fell in vain.

Although he groaned as if he wasn’t dead, it didn’t seem like he would be able to hold the sword again.

Those who tried to climb over the fence stopped in an unexpected situation.

Soon, there was another ‘pop!’ from inside. A harsh sound was heard, followed by a small groan and then silence.

“Hey, didn’t I tell you I was coming?”

“Huh, this is...”

Just then, a voice was heard, but the direction was not inside the wall, but behind them.

Rocks are flying inside the wall and there are people behind it?

Hu Hu-ryeong looked embarrassed.

“Who are you guys?”

“That’s what this side has to say. “Please tell me why I wear a mask and climb over the wall of someone’s house in the middle of the night like this.”

Hu Hu-ryeong quietly looked at the old man who spoke.

Judging by his voice, he was definitely an old man. The hand that was slightly visible in the moonlight was full of wrinkles.

I thought it was probably the old man wearing a hat that I saw at the manor last time.

However, the old man was wearing a mask, as if he did not want to show his face. It was a mask that resembled a gunja sword or something that is popular among children these days.

“He’s an old man with strange hobbies.”

“You’re not an old man.”

“what?”

Hu Hu-ryeong was taken aback by the unexpected words.

Not only the voice, but also the wrinkles on his hands and the pure white beard that was revealed through the mask were definitely those of an old man.

However, when Hu Hu-ryeong said that he was not an old man, he looked absurd for a moment.

An old man with only the hem of his clothes flapping as if he had no arm took a step forward, holding a sword.

Hu Hu-ryeong looked at old man Namgung-cheon with the gaze of a crazy person.

As if he had read Hu Hu-ryeong’s intentions, the old man slowly lifted the sword in his hand and opened his mouth.

“This old man... is called Gunjageom.”

At that one word, Hu Hu-ryeong and his disciples burst into laughter.

The nickname ‘Gunjageom’ was used a lot in the past, but no one used it at some point.

This is because it became an object of admiration for children after it was used as a nickname for a character in a story.

Hu Hu-ryeong twisted his expression and muttered.

“You look like a senile old man.”
