Episode 17
Jang Sam-tae, who returned to the manor, hurriedly ran to Dan Woo-hyeon and explained what he had seen.
Aeyang’s current condition seemed to be unusual, and he was probably directly or indirectly involved in the affairs of the Black Island Association, so his pale and tired complexion did not seem to be improving at all.
“That happened.”
“The Black Knights will definitely not sit still. “What can I do?”
Jang Sam-tae glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
It was clear that if Dan Woo-hyeon stepped forward, he would be able to chew up the Black Dog Association. Although he felt relieved, he felt bitter about his situation of having to rely on Dan Woo-hyeon.
“What on earth are these people called the Black Society?”
“It’s a group of ronin.”
“Hong Won-chang also explained it that way.”
Dan Woo-hyeon was impressed. At best, I couldn’t understand why a group of ronin would go on such a rampage.
A ronin is a ronin. Of course, it is not that there are no outstanding talents among them, but there were bound to be clear limitations.
It was strange for such people to form an organization for their own security, but it made no sense that they could grow their power to this extent.
“Tell me more about the Black Demon Association.”
“Ta-… There’s nothing to say about it. It’s a very secret place, so everything people like us know is stored there/’ “
Just what we know.”
Jang Sam-tae nodded.
It wasn’t that difficult. He thought of celebrities who liked to talk and began to tell their stories exactly as they had been told.
“It is said that the Heukdohoe was founded about fifty years ago. “I’m not sure who the owner is, but some say he had a feud with Gupailbang and some say it was founded by someone from the Demonic Cult.”
“Nothing is exact.”
“Yes, that’s right. Anyway, no one paid attention at first, but this guy, Hoeju, is said to have been so talented that he has now built up enough power to threaten the Great Gates of the Three Kingdoms.”
“You must have been blinded.”
Dan Woohyun chuckled.
A force that suddenly appears threatens them. From the perspective of Daemunpa or Sega, which seek stability, there will be nothing more annoying. If that’s the case, there’s nothing to see after that.
“That’s right haha! In the end, the Murim Alliance emerged under pressure from the Eight Great Families, and those who hid to avoid it are the current Black Taoist Association.”
“All Kangho’s physiology is similar.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded with the same smile on his face.
It is interesting.
It is said that the organization called Murimmaeng was founded by the main figures of the political faction. If he hid from those people’s pursuit, that guy named Hoeju must have been very intelligent.
‘In the past, even that would have been impossible…’
The martial arts of the past and the martial arts of the present
are different. Although they are all the same, they are now much more peaceful. At that time, it was several times more heinous and cruel than it is now. As you walked down the street, you could see the bodies of dead people strewn here and there.
At that time, there was no system in place in the Jungwon Murim, so this was even worse.
The eight major factions of the nine factions are either demonic cults or evil faction groups.
Although each had their own path, their identity was ambiguous, so they fought every day.
But at most, ronin people formed a group?
If such a story had spread in those days, the ronin organization would have been horribly destroyed and collapsed at that moment.
There is no special reason. Those who simply liked to show off their power would have pushed away every single blade of grass to show off.
In that sense, the current martial arts world is very peaceful.
It’s boring and not fun.
It wasn’t because he was used to living in this manor, but just looking at the stories he heard made him feel like he was in a completely different world than the martial arts he knew.
“Well… what are you going to do? “The governor will be in quite a bit of trouble.”
“Leave it alone.”
“yes? “It could even cause damage to the manor.”
What Jang Sam-tae said was not wrong.
Although he promised not to mention Dan Woo-hyeon’s name until the grave, he will have no choice but to come out if he is tortured.
Eventually, the Black Demon Society will flock to the manor.
If Dan Woo-hyeon were alone, it wouldn’t have mattered much, but there was a charm to this place. If you are not careful, your child could end up in a dangerous situation.
Nevertheless, Dan Woo-hyeon shook his head.
“Wind is a natural way to flow. “You can’t force it, so you have to let everything flow as it should.”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a blank expression.
For a moment, I felt such a distant feeling that I was completely enchanted by Dan Woo-hyeon.
It felt as if I was standing before my eyes, a being that would dissipate like a delusion if I stretched out a non-human hand and touched it.
Jang Sam-tae turned his head reverently and muttered.
‘Crazy guy.’
I suddenly don’t know what this nonsense is.
* * * A nervous expression was evident on Hong Won-chang’s face.
It is necessary to transport the members of the Black Daoist Association and hand them over to the imperial family. Since I was not aware of their methods, I thought something would definitely happen.
Hong Won-chang bit his nails in nervousness.
It was hoped that the king would send troops, but Wangya did not seem to have any intention of going that far. The fact that Wang Bu was on the way to Beijing also played a role.
“If you ask the Daehyeop for a favor….” Hong Won-chang, who became anxious, thought of Dan Woo-hyeon
.
There would be nothing more reassuring if he was by my side. I was confident that I had nothing to worry about, even if the Dark Church, as well as the Demonic Cult, attacked.
But it wasn’t easy to ask.
Strangely, whenever I encountered Dan Woo-hyeon, I felt a strange sense of fear. It was already uncomfortable, but since I was feeling that way, it was natural for me to be worried like this.
Hong Won-chang let out a long sigh and leaned back in his chair.
What should I do about this?
at that time.
Sreuk-!
Something sharp touched Hong Won-chang’s neck.
“omg!”
“You’re Hong Won-chang, right?”
A terrifying voice came from behind me. It looked more like a grim reaper than a person. Goosebumps appeared all over my body and my heart sank.
Hong Won-chang immediately realized who they were.
“Black 1 city.”
“You got it right.”
Hong Wenchang was embarrassed.
The number of police officers mobilized this time was significantly greater than usual. The guard was so thin that not even a single ant could break in, so how could it be possible to get all the way here without even hearing a whistle?
Hong Won-chang tried to hide his fear and made a threatening statement.
“These… bastards! Do you think you’ll be safe after this?”
“It will be perfectly fine. The things you have to drag along are probably dead by now. “Now if you die, how will we know what happened here?”
Quickly-!
As soon as the man finished speaking, several people appeared in the room. Their faces could not be seen because they were wearing black masks, but their eyes were so cold that it gave me goosebumps.
Gulp—
Hong Wenchang swallowed dry saliva.
This is what happened in the end.
The worst has come.
“Let’s drag it.”
The men pointed out Hong Won-chang’s blood.
Hong Won-chang, who was unable to even move, let alone speak, had no choice but to be attacked by them.
They wrapped Hong Wenchang in black cloth.
And the moment Heung Won-chang was carried on someone’s back, he felt the speed so fast that he felt motion sick.
I don’t know where or how they were going, but they weren’t caught by a single police officer.
I had a wish that someone would help me, but I also had a wish that no one would come forward. There will be no one in the government office who can deal with these people.
All you will see is meaningless corpses
!
And at some point it fell to the floor.
The cloth wrapped around my body was lifted and my vision was revealed. It was a mountain of unknown origin.
All I could see was the cold gaze of the men wearing black masks and the knife-like force they felt.
At that time, a man appeared accompanied by a cold wind.
He was someone who had a feeling that was somehow different from the people in front of him. Just looking into each other’s eyes made Hong Won-chang’s whole body tremble and he had to lower his head without realizing it.
“Hong Won-chang, the county commander?”
“己 That’s right.”
“There is no need to introduce who we are….”
Bangchugok, the leader of Pyeonpung.
He took out a dagger from his chest.
The sound of a sharp blade coming out was harsh
.
For a moment, Hong Won-chang felt goosebumps all over his body and even his fine hairs stood on end. The sound of Bangchugok’s low approaching footsteps was also terrifying.
“I brought you here because there is something I want to ask you.”
That means that if there was nothing I wanted to ask, I would have turned him into a corpse long ago. Well, these men have enough power to do that.
Hong Won-chang asked with a trembling voice.
“What”… what is it?”
“No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it. “Even if it’s Changbaeksan and the underworld merchants, doesn’t it make no sense for you guys to attack the branch of our Black Island Association?”
U |99
“In the end, there will be someone behind you. Now, will you quietly open your mouth? Or should I force it to open?
“I don’t know anything/”
It becomes easier when you open your mouth.
Perhaps if he told everything, they might kill him in a painless way. However, I also knew that I had to keep my promise to Dan Woo-hyeon.
In fact, it was also true that Dan Woo-hyeon’s name felt more weighty than the people in front of me.
‘I promised to take the secret to the grave! As the head of the company, how could I say two things?’
This must be kept at all costs. If it weren’t for Dan Woo-hyeon in the first place, he would have died at the hands of Chang Baek-san. Being alive like this was solely due to his efforts, so his life was as good as not existing.
“How long will I not open my mouth?” However, Bang Chugok was a person skilled in torture
. This is someone who has learned how to get someone to open their mouth since childhood. That is why we were sent, and there is no failure in the mission.
Should I close my eyes first? Or should I cut my wrists?
It might have been fun to cut off flesh one piece at a time, but since he had no internal energy and had not received any mental training, he could not do it the way he did to the martial artists.
Hong Won-chang looked strong, but he was weak-hearted.
After making that decision, an easy solution occurred to me.
“Do you know what this is?
Bangchugok took out a pure white powder from his bosom and showed it to me. In some ways, it felt like a simple medicine, but there would be no way to take medicine in a situation like this.
Hong Won-chang made a puzzled expression.
“It’s a confession system.” It was a drug that caused severe hallucinations. Naturally, people open their mouths without realizing it during the hallucination.
Even if he was the lord of the Murim, he was confident that if he completely lost his internal energy and administered medicine, he would not be able to make a single point, so he would open his mouth.
The moment Hong Wenchang’s complexion turned blue, Bang Chugok blew it.
Posterior part:
Pure white powder covered Hong Wenchang’s face. It was quickly sucked into my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth in that brief moment of inhalation.
I didn’t even have time to react.
After such a short period of time, Hong Won-chang’s body began to tremble.
“Do you think it works well? To be honest, I wasn’t confident about it because it was still a test project.”
“It’s a medicine made by that old monster. “His skills are such that even in the party circles, there is no way he won’t listen.”
Bang Chugok grinned and looked intently at Hong Wenchang’s complexion. Indeed, even though not even an inch had passed, his body was shaking like an aspen and foam was coming out of his mouth and nose.
You won’t die.
You won’t become an idiot either.
The person who created this medicine is one of the greatest in the world. Since such a person assured that he would not die or become an idiot even if he used medicine, it must have been true.
Of course, there may be exceptions, but even if the opponent’s spirit was weak, it was still too weak to use merciless torture. I didn’t want to create unnecessary variables.
Bang Chugok approached Hong Wenchang, who was trembling and foaming at the mouth. Then he slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed his hair, and opened his mouth quietly.
“Remember it well. “Who was the person who looked after you? And where is he?”
Bangchugok’s low voice spread quietly.
