Chapter 701
“Grrrr.”
Behind Chung Myung, who was cursing under his breath, the Five Swords, looking as if they were covered in clay and baked, were trembling.
“... That fuck....”
“Oh my... I am dying....”
The warriors of Mount Hua, who were considered the best among all the existing sect disciples of their age in current Kangho, were on the verge of losing their souls from the run.
The hearts of the Five Swords, who arrived without fail, picking up the fallen ones, carrying those who fell, and holding on to those who were about to fall, were filled with care (?) for each other, which had sprouted before they knew it.
‘You should have just left me!’
‘You insane bastards! You didn’t even support me and dragged me here....’
‘Couldn’t I just die!?’
They arrived at Namchang and glared at Chung Myung with faces of anger. But Chung Myung was only glaring at the man with the eyes of a wild beast hunting its prey as if he couldn’t feel anything from them.
“But....”
Baek Cheon, who had caught his breath, asked Chung Myung.
“What do we do now?”
“...”
“We do not know the face of that person, and we don’t know if that person is still here or not?”
“...”
“So first, grab a cup of tea, take a shower, and then we can start to slowly search the...”
“Sasuk.”
“Uh?”
But Chung Myung cut him off without even looking back.
“So, how will you lead Mount Hua?”
“...”
“You don’t know his face? Is he still here? What does all this have to do with our work?”
“... why does it matter, you idiot?”
“See carefully now. For anyone who leads people, tolerance is important.”
Chung Myung slightly raised his hand and folded it lightly.
And something black came out like a flash from behind the trees on the left and right.
“Uh!”
“Is that an attack?”
At that moment, the Five Swords, who were down in exhaustion, got up in surprise.
“We greet Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon!”
“We were waiting! Welcome to our place!”
The welcoming greetings came.
Everyone looked at the people lying on the ground with blank faces.
“...beggar?”
“It is the Beggars Union, sasuk! The Beggars Union!”
“The Beggars Union is made up of beggars, right?”
“...Ugh, this man, your personality is getting worse each day.”
The Beggars Union glanced at Chung Myung and spoke quickly.
“We heard from the Hwa-um branch leader. We will cooperate in any way we can!”
“Please look after us!”
Cold sweat formed on the back of Baek Cheon’s head.
‘No...’
Sure, Mount Hua and the Beggars Union... no, to be exact, the Beggars Union and Chung Myung were on good terms, so cooperating with each other wasn’t so strange.
But the problem was that the attitude here couldn’t be considered cooperation.
‘What kind of rumor is spreading in the Beggars Union?’
He had a question, but honestly, he didn’t want to know the answer. It was clear that if he found out, he would feel upset.
“Him?”
At Chung Myung’s short words, the Beggars Union people said.
“Still here.”
“I will guide you there right now.”
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
As the beggars moved to run away, Baek Cheon and Jo Gul screamed in horror.
“Now, wait, let’s catch our breath...”
“Running again?! Again?”
Chung Myung shouted without even turning his head.
“You can catch the bastard and then rest! What are you doing! Go!”
“Yes!”
The Beggars Union began to run away with all their might, and Chung Myung followed suit without waiting.
“Oh, shit! For real!”
“Enough running! Stop ittttt! You bastardddd!”
The Five Swords all followed Chung Myung with tears in their eyes.
Actually, Chung Myung’s words weren’t wrong. If they wasted time and the person who caused the problem ended up leaving the place, they would have to run a greater distance to chase after him.
But the problem was that they hadn’t even been given the time to catch their breath now.
‘That damned bastard!’
‘Even if that bastard had to impersonate someone, why did it have to be Mount Hua?’
‘If he gets caught, I will grind him to a pulp and drink him!’
“This guy, even after all this...!”
“I said it all in advance, so... now it is all your responsibility!”
Chung Myung’s eyes shone.
“Here it is.”
Golden Sword Order leader Sang Man-hee handed a bundle of money slips to Jin Yang-Geon.
Jin Yang-Geon quietly looked at the slips on the table. Although his face appeared calm, his hands, hidden below the table, were shaking with excitement.
‘How much is this... is all this really...’
In the face of such a large sum of money, which he had never even imagined in his life, he tried to gulp down his saliva and desperately calmed himself.
Jin Yang-Geon grabbed his thighs, suppressing the trembling, and spoke as calmly as possible.
“I have heard that Lord Sang is in a good mood, but I had no idea that your decision would be this firm.”
“Why would we ever doubt Mount Hua? If we were to doubt the famous Mount Hua, the entire world would criticize us.”
Jin Yang-Geon smiled and nodded, slowly placing his now trembling hand on the table.
“All this money will be used to help the hungry. And I would never turn a blind eye to the advice of a leader who helped the poor.”
“If you would do that, what more could I ask for? Truly, thank you, warrior Jin. No! Taoist!”
Sang Man-Hee grabbed Jin Yang-Geon’s hand.
Jin Yang-Geon nodded with a relaxed expression and stretched out his other hand to take the bundle of slips.
Kwaaang!
“AHHHH!”
“Uh?”
“Eh?”
However, Sang Man-Hee and Jin Yang-Geon’s heads turned at the same time because of the loud explosion and screams from outside.
“...what.”
Baaang!
Sang Man-Hee’s face turned pale from the sounds he continued to hear.
“An attack? At our place?”
His eyes turned to Jin Yang-Geon right then.
“T-Taoist. It seems like they are already attacking us, the Iron Clan...”
Jin Yang-Geon smiled an awkward smile.
“Haha. They are pups for the day... they don’t know that tigers are scary... do not worry. I will handle it.”
“As expected!”
Sang Man-Hee’s face turned brightly red.
“Let us go out together!”
“Ah. First, let’s take care of the slip...”
“...Uh?”
Sang Man-Hee looked at Jin Yang-Geon with blank eyes.
Facing that doubtful gaze, Jin Yang-Geon broke into a cold sweat.
“Leader!”
But then the commander burst in.
“What is happening? Is it the Iron Clan? Those people who...”
“N-No! It isn’t them!”
“Uh? Not them?”
Sang Man-Hee’s face went black.
If it wasn’t them, then who would attack their office right now?
“Who is it then?”
“Well, that...”
The commander looked at Jin Yang-Geon and said,
“Mount-Mount Hua... they are claiming to be from Mount Hua and are causing havoc. The disciples are trying to block them, but it isn’t enough....”
“Mount Hua?”
Sang Man-Hee scolded him, questioning the absurdity.
“Mount Hua? What kind of nonsense is this? Why would Mount Hua cause trouble here?”
“I don’t know...”
“Who is impersonating Mount Hua...”
It was right then.
Kwaaaang!
“Ackkkkk!”
With a loud explosion, the inner door of the main building burst open. At the same time, many of his men were thrown out like frogs kicked by children.
Sang Man-Hee blinked at the unbelievable sight.
And saw.
The sight of a monster stomping and destroying the place.
A body covered in dust, bright shining eyes, a sight that made people tremble.
“Uhhhhh.”
The monster made a strange sound and slowly turned his head left and right, and his gaze fell on Sang Man-Hee.
“Who is the Mount Hua bastard?”
The eyes were blazing, and this monster was Chung Myung.
“What kind of bastard is using the name of Mount Hua? Come out! Will you not come?”
“....”
... was he from Southern Edge?
That was the first thought Sang Man-Hee had when he heard those words.
