Solo Swordmaster Chapter 81

Episode #81. How would you like to do this?

“So you just came back?”

“okay.”

“I can see the face of the royal family head who must have been embarrassed.”

Seeing Li Qingyu smile bitterly, Limon made a sour expression.

“why? Is it so strange that I came back with just a few words of advice?”

“yes.”

“…I also felt that Mr. Wang, too. What do you guys think of me that makes you think so unexpectedly?”

“If I had to say it, wouldn’t it be a scruffy son-in-law who doesn’t do anything but make accidents?”

“Isn’t that what you meant?”

Limon was dumbfounded.

Because it was Li Qingyu who first proposed to him in the first place and created an organization like the Guardian to openly prank.

Li Qingyu calmly replied to him.

“I was just stating the general opinion of our clan.”

“Is my reputation that bad?”

“Yes, this time I entrusted all the investigation of the raid to the king family, which added to my sense of disappointment.”

Anyway, the current Guardian is a company dedicated to the security and security of the Black Dragon clan, and Limon is the representative of such a Guardian.

Nevertheless, Limon’s attitude of giving up responsibility and stepping back, rather than taking the lead in solving the case himself, was a good thing to be scolded for.

“Still, it’s not too much to worry about. Since the original reputation of the swordsman is so bad, it doesn’t make much of a difference even if it falls further.”

Is this what you call consolation?

Or are you trying to make fun of it?

Looking at Li Qingyu, who had a calm face that was completely indistinguishable, Limon made a puzzled expression.

“Anything like that, how come you don’t seem so worried? I thought that if my rating dropped, there would be more kids cursing you for proposing to me.”

“Thanks to the swordsman listening to so much bullshit, I’m rather getting sympathy votes.”

“…Yes, I guess it’s worthwhile to serve as an alumni that I never had before.”

Limon sighed.

‘Well, why do things keep getting messy?’

Even when he first decided to become the son-in-law of the Black Dragon clan, Limon had a firm plan.

The goal was to take control of the Black Dragon Clan as soon as possible and gain their support, based on which the other Clan of the Seven Dragons were also in their hands.

However, as he was concentrating on training, he delayed the progress of the plan, and his reputation was falling to the point where it could not be restored.

‘It’s not necessary to have a good reputation… but if you do something wrong like this, it’s not just a classmate feeling, it’s going to be very common.’

Limon lamented over the twisted situation.

Li Qingyu suddenly asked him.

“By the way, swordsmith, did you really need to refuse the king’s offer? The support of the Shanghai royal family must have been of great help to the swordsman now.”

“What kind of help is that? If anything, it’s a bright apricot.”

“Are you saying that the king’s family had no intention of supporting the swordsman?”

“I mean, even if you were sincere, it wouldn’t have helped anything in practice.”

To Li Qingyu, who had an unexpected look on his face, Limon said in a disdainful tone.

“You can’t say that I have no responsibility for what happened in the first place. Anyway, it was because of me that he was away.”

Even if he was born as a vassal, Wang Shik-sik is the head of the royal family in Shanghai.

If he hadn’t been away for recuperation, there was a possibility that the Black Dragon Construction staff could have avoided the massacre.

“In the meantime, you would be upset if this kind of chaos broke out, but take care of the promise of support in exchange for me not intervening. What would the royal family see me as?”

“Um… are you going to be a robber or a coveted official who gives you a bottle and takes away the money for the medicine?”

“Yes, but in the meantime, will you have the heart to sincerely support me?”

Originally, I hated a sister-in-law who stopped me more than a mother-in-law who hit me.

Even more so, if you intervene in a matter involving the death of a relative and take advantage of it, that alone could incur an absurd resentment.

“You’re saying that it’s better to just let the horse graze than to force a horse that isn’t thirsty to go to the water’s edge and make it drink.”

“At least you won’t get kicked by the horse’s hind legs.”

Seeing Li Mon shrug his shoulders, Li Qingyu made a strange expression.

“That’s another stabbing word.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I were to say that I had committed something worthy of being kicked by a horse’s hind leg, then I would not be easy.”

Seeing Li Qingyu, who was embarrassed by his achievements in keeping Li Mon down and marrying him after protecting world peace, Li Mon smiled.

“Isn’t that different? Anyway, the horse itself went to the waterside.”

“is that so?”

“Shouldn’t it be treated the same as forcibly dragging a horse with a bridle and riding a rampaging bronco?”

“That is a poignant word.”

Li Qingyu chuckled.

If there was even a single doubt in his heart, he would not have accepted the marriage proposal at all.

It was because I could understand Limon’s intention to reassure me by surrounding me.

“Still, it’s a pity. If I could gain the support of the Shanghai royal family, even on the surface, I would have had many uses.”

“Certainly, if it were you, you would have made good use of it.”

Limon readily agreed.

If she had the ability to handle even the elders, there would be many ways to use even a small cause.

“I would have been better off not taking that offer, though.”

“Why are you talking?”

“If you accept the deal now, it will be difficult to intervene later if the situation changes.”

Li Qingyu made a strange expression.

It was because I could grasp the meaning of what he meant when the situation changed.

“…do you think that the king’s wife will not be able to catch the beast?”

“Usually you can catch it. Because you are the Seven Dragons.”

Whether as an organization with a long history.

Whether as the world’s leading conglomerates.

The Seven Dragons have an influence unmatched by any ordinary police organization.

That kind of massacre unfolded, but the fact that the police didn’t come forward and it didn’t appear on TV even once is because of the power of that influence.

If they are determined, they will be able to find the tolerable culprit in no time.

“But I feel like these guys aren’t going to be that normal.”

“Is it the sword master’s intuition?”

“To put it bluntly, it’s the feeling of being a former PAB agent.”

Limon frowned and continued.

“There are a lot of crazy players out there, but it’s rare that such systematically insane people are easily caught.”

“Can a person systematically go mad?”

“Your Seven Dragons are representative, right?”

“I can understand why you said that.”

Li Qingyu readily agreed.

If faith is also a kind of madness, it was true that the Seven Dragons were a group of systematic lunatics more than the priests.

In fact, considering what the Seven Dragons did in the past, the massacre at Black Dragon Construction was also a medicine.

“Then, contrary to what Tracers said, this incident may not have been indiscriminate terrorism, but rather a more definite purpose.”

“On the contrary, I could have just been bored and just happened to see Black Dragon Construction on the way and committed a massacre.”

“You are saying that it is a matter of possibility.”

“Because I don’t know what’s inside the madmen.”

It was also for this reason that Limon only informed Wang Pyeong-sik of the relatively certain traces he had read on the spot.

If you hastily determine the culprit and cause confusion in the investigation, you’d rather not tell them.

‘Well, the Tracers seem to be convinced that it’s an indiscriminate terror.’

『Criminal Psychology Insight』.

『The Detective’s Mystery』.

『Question and Answer of the Star』.

Other than that, a claim made by several tracers who specialize in investigation or tracking.

Remembering the testimony that the culprit was a psychopathic indiscriminate killer and that the massacre at Black Dragon Construction was an impulsive crime rather than a planned one, Limon smiled.

‘I wonder if he knows that there is nothing more unbelievable in the world than being indiscriminate.’

Either as a PAB agent.

Whether as a sword master.

Limon, who has dealt with countless criminals and villains, knows that even seemingly indiscriminate cases have their own logic.

There are only cases where the logic is common sense and cases where it is not common sense.

And when you look at the scene where the murder method is so thorough that it leaves no evidence, but the method of killing is overflowing with madness, these two criminals are exquisitely mixed.

To the point where Limon calls them ‘systematically insane’.

‘If Mr. Wang wasn’t an idiot, he’d already narrowed down the culprit with the clues I gave him.’

Criminals associated with the military.

A maniac who enjoys killing.

There are high level players.

Adding this condition, Limon clicked his tongue at the suspect that naturally came to mind.

It’s still in the realm of speculation, but if he guessed it, the possibility that their atrocities would end like this was very low.

‘I don’t know what they were aiming for, but if their target was the Black Dragon clan…’

Limon, who was lost in thought, suddenly turned to Li Qingyu and asked.

“Princess, how is your alert state right now?”

“For now, we’ve put everything back on level 2 alert.”

“Level 2 alert.”

The scene of the tragedy that I visited firsthand.

Among them, Limon frowned as he pondered something, remembering the traces of resistance Wang Ki-seong left behind.

“Can’t you raise that to a special alert?”

“Where are you?”

“entire.”

“…Are you referring to all affiliates in Korea?”

“ok.”

Is it really out of the blue?

Li Qingyu, who widened his eyes at Limon’s sudden request, immediately took on a serious expression.

“Do you think the criminal will continue targeting our affiliates?”

“I know it’s an old man’s oversight, but anyway, what happened once can happen twice.”

If it was a different clan.

He would have thought it was the useless worry of a really senile old man.

I was only defeated because I was defenseless.

It was not something even a monarch would do sanely to invade the affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan, which were already preparing.

“That’s… embarrassing.”

However, Li Qingyu did not underestimate Noh Kang-ho’s experience and sword master’s intuition.

That’s why it was embarrassing.

“Will it be difficult after all?”

“Because the special alert needs to move the armed forces. I don’t know if it’s two or three, but we don’t have enough manpower to protect all of our subsidiaries.”

No matter how fallen, the Black Dragon Clan is also one of the Seven Dragon Groups.

There are so many subsidiaries.

It was realistically impossible to dispatch armed forces to all affiliates one by one to protect them.

No matter how many warriors of the Seven Dragons, the number of masters was limited, and it was perfect for them to be defeated individually if the armed forces were dispersed.

“Hmm, in the end, it means that you don’t have enough hands.”

For a while, I stroked my chin and thought about whether there was a way to protect all affiliates from the beast.

Limon’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Then how about doing this?”
