Chapter 84: The Villainess (1)

While some lived today to see tomorrow, others lived as if they were to die tomorrow.

Yodong Castle.

Moyong Family.

A personal training ground.

Here, there was a woman living as if she was to die tomorrow.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

In the current martial arts world, she was known as a viper-like woman who killed her husband, a villainess widow likened to a black widow.

Report.

Moyong Sang-ah.

It has been several months since the incident where she killed her husband.

Moyong Sang-ah paused her personal training and addressed the visiting head of Changbongdae.

Some of the Kang familys businesses still refuse to be taken over.

Even when you show them the document stamped with my husbands seal?

They tried to tear it up right in front of me, claiming it was forged. I barely stopped them.

They attempted to tear up the merchant document?

A flash of anger escaped her usually calm demeanor.

The document was left to her by her husband to take over the Kang familys businesses in the Central Plains.

Through this document, she gained overwhelming rights and legitimacy to take over numerous businesses of the Kang family in the Central Plains.

Ive threatened them to hand over their businesses. But those Korean people are stubborn and dont seem to want to give them up easily.

Then lets go. Prepare the Changbongdae.

Moyong Sang-ahs escort, Changbongdae, which was supposed to be disbanded upon her marriage, has been regaining its strength since that day.

Miss, we will handle it.

Its someone who ignored my husbands will. I need to see it myself.

One of the few things left to her by the merchant.

Someone tried to ignore it and erase her husbands traces.

She couldnt just let it go.

Moyong Sang-ah headed to one of the Kang familys businesses with Changbongdae.

Never hand it over!

The person Moyong Sang-ah met was an innkeeper in Xingcheng of Yodong Castle, who had taken over all the businesses previously operated by the Kang family following their downfall.

These businesses were left by the merchant. If you hand them over, you can continue to operate them.

Moyong Sang-ah calmly proposed a solution that would be acceptable to both parties.

Operate? Who are you to take everything for yourself and reduce me to a servant? Do you even know who I am?

I dont know. What I do know is that youve unlawfully taken over the Kang familys businesses.

A villain who dared to claim what belonged to her husband. Moyong Sang-ah kept her thoughts to herself and addressed the man.

I am someone who was adopted into the Kang family through a cousins marriage eight times removed. What? Illegal? I merely saved the Kang familys assets from ruin. And now you want me to surrender everything?

The mans connection to the family was tenuous at best. He had managed to avoid the disaster that struck the Kang family and had taken over the businesses in Xingcheng through various illegal and violent means.

In contrast, Moyong Sang-ahs claim was solid, backed by Kang Yun-hos name, unlike the mans dubious entitlement.

I wont say much. Just hand it over quietly.

A Changbongdae member standing beside her might have detected the subtle anger in her voice, but the innkeeper before her did not.

Not talking much isnt the problem! Hey! The whole world knows youre the main reason behind the Kang familys downfall! And now you want to claim the Kang familys assets? In the name of Kang Yun-ho, whom you killed? I may be shameless, but arent you ashamed before heaven!

The man, mistaking Moyong Sang-ahs patience for weakness, raised his voice so that everyone inside the establishment could hear him.

How dare you speak to the lady like that!

Stop.

Unable to stand by any longer, a Changbongdae member reached for his sword, but Moyong Sang-ah raised her hand to stop him.

Contrary to the initial ease of taking over the Kang familys businesses in the Central Plains, the inability to fully take over the Kang familys businesses months after the incident was a significant setback.

As it became known that Moyong Sang-ah herself was the source of the accusations against the Kang family, many of the Kang familys businesses in the Central Plains turned their backs on her.

Moyong Sang-ah looked at the man in front of her.

Should she give up?

Kill them all.

Moyong Sang-ah repeated herself to ensure there was no misunderstanding.

Understood!

The Changbongdae members sprang into action.

Please, spare me!

Ill give you everything! Please!

Swiftly, the Changbongdae members behind Moyong Sang-ah began slitting the throats of those in front of them.

Soon, the floor of the establishment was covered with people kneeling and trembling in fear, alongside headless corpses.

Have the deputy clean up and stamp the document stating that the Moyong Family has taken over this business.

Moyong Sang-ah glanced indifferently at the blood-soaked establishment before turning to leave.

Miss.

On the way back to the Moyong Family, the leader of Changbongdae quietly approached Moyong Sang-ah, who was alone in her room.

Yes. Speak.

Todays actions do not align with the Moyong Familys principles, which belong to the righteous sects.

The leader had followed her command and participated in the killings, but he was troubled by the act of killing defenseless commoners.

I had every right to do so. They had illegally seized my businesses.

That may be true, but some of them were not martial artists.

Does the Demonic Sect only target martial artists?

We are not the Demonic Sect.

But anyone under the Demonic Sects influence is an enemy of the Moyong Family.

. Thats why we must adhere even more to the righteous path. Our hands need not become dirty because theirs are. Shouldnt we punish them through righteousness?

If it means eliminating them, I dont mind if not just my hands, but my entire body becomes black.

Miss!

Give one more warning to the businesses of the Kang family that resist. If they continue to defy us, show no mercy. Kill them all. We have a long journey ahead.

Miss, why have you changed so much? You dont seem like the person I once knew.

The leader spoke to her in a pained tone, recalling that day.

The day she returned after killing a fool.

He had hoped everything could return to normal with the mans death.

But since the day that man died, the woman he had served all his life could never return to the way he remembered her.

. If you want to leave, then leave.

Ill pretend I didnt hear that.

After bidding farewell to Moyong Sang-ah, the leader quietly left the room.

Once the sounds around her had faded, Moyong Sang-ah sat by the window and looked up at the sky.

The road ahead is long. . Too long.

Moyong Sang-ah repeated the words she had said to the leader of Changbongdae, feeling the chill of the night wind.

The path to him felt as distantly unreachable as the stars in the sky.

She could not afford to delay any longer.

Its a path that cannot be reached by seeking someones understanding.

My Husband.

The chilly night wind brushes her shoulders.

Her trembling heart, filled with sorrow, wishes to lean on a sturdy embrace.

If she did, he would have quietly comforted her trembling self within his heart.

But the man who could have held her no longer exists.

Because she killed him with her own hands.

Now, only she can steady the trembling heart of a villainess.

The chilly night wind.

Quietly, Moyong Sang-ah wrapped her own shoulders.
