Episode 65. Baek Cheon-hwa was not alone in
the auction house .
Baek Seon-ah, who had gone on a mission, also returned.
“See you, matriarch.”
Baek Woo-jin went next to Baek Sun-ah and bowed.
“Get up.”
As soon as Baek Cheon-hwa saw Baek Woo-jin, he smiled with satisfaction.
At that sight, Baek Seon-ah’s expression was crushed like a tin can.
“yes!”
Baek Woo-jin proudly straightened his back and stood up.
“It was great. “It produced the best results.”
Baek Chun-hwa stood up and nodded.
Even though he was not assigned a mission, Baek Woo-jin worked on his own and achieved tremendous results.
I couldn’t help but be amazed.
‘What on earth did you do to say something like that?’
Baek Seon-ah glanced at Baek Woo-jin with eyes full of hostility.
He returned from a difficult mission, but was only told that he had done a good job.
I’ve never heard such a compliment before.
“I was lucky.”
“Capturing the Lucas Blue Tower executioner alive is not something you can do by luck.”
“omg!”
At Baek Cheon-hwa’s words, Baek Seon-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin with a mesmerized expression.
Capturing the Blue Tower’s executioner made him question whether his ears were working properly.
“I want to hear it from your mouth. “What happened in the dungeon?”
“When I first went to the dungeon, I felt a wizard hiding his power. So, I remembered that mana and used it inside the dungeon…”
Baek Woo-jin told Baek Cheon-hwa about what happened in the dungeon.
Of course, this excludes the fact that I first learned that the executioner was there by receiving a text message.
“Then did you intentionally let the executioner of the Blue Tower escape?”
“That’s right. Seeing that it had a light mouth, I thought I could capture it alive by pretending to let it go. So, after giving him hope that he could escape, I subdued Mana.”
“Khahahaha!”
When Baek Tian-hwa did not restrain his power and exploded with light, the ground trembled and the ceiling shook.
“It was a good decision.”
Baek Chun-hwa’s smile became even brighter.
‘It’s not a great judgment, but it’s not easy to keep your head in such a situation.’
Baek Woo-jin’s thoughts could not be considered enormous or great.
However, in such an urgent situation, letting go of the enemy and catching him again was not something anyone could do.
It was amazing confidence and guts.
‘Damn it!’
Baek Seon-ah gritted her teeth.
Her expression was contorted like a murderer.
‘I guess it overlaps with this guy…’
I thought I was one step ahead of my other brothers by completely completing the Shingeom mission.
However, it was nothing like what Baek Woo-jin did.
I was so angry that I wondered why something like that happened to that guy and got his father’s praise.
“I have one question.”
“yes.”
“How did you suppress the executioner’s mana? “You probably haven’t learned Baengnyeongseon yet.”
Baekryeongseon is one of Baekga’s secret techniques that uses one’s own aura to suppress the enemy’s mana or aura.
“It’s not Baengnyeong Ship. “I subdued him in other ways.”
The method by which Baek Woo-jin subdued Kim Yeon-seong’s mana was something he learned from Heukam.
“What is that?”
“I can’t tell you.”
“Huh!”
Baek Seon-ah once again doubted her hearing after hearing Baek Woo-jin’s answer.
It felt like Baek Woo-jin was dying to say something like that to his father.
“Is it because of Seon-ah?”
The question was whether you would like to tell her because your competitor, Baek Seon-ah, was next to you.
“no.”
“Then why?”
“Because the matriarch is involved in the competition.”
“It’s because of me?”
“yes. The mission of the new sword is given by the head of the family. But wouldn’t I suffer a loss if I reveal all of my bottom?”
“Hahaha!”
Baek Tian-hwa nodded and smiled coolly.
That’s correct.
It’s true, but he’s probably the only one who says something like that in front of him.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the mixture of confidence and arrogance.
“Are you saying that you don’t even care about Suna?”
“of course. “I can teach you my skills separately.”
“Ugh, you…”
Baek Seon-ah gritted her teeth loudly, glaring at Baek Woo-jin.
If this wasn’t a Gaju battle, I would have thrown my sword right away.
‘As expected, he’s a fun guy.’
On the other hand, Baek Cheon-hwa had an interesting face.
“What do you think you have to gain from Lucas through this?”
“First of all, Lucas will try to cut off the tail. “It would certainly be said that it was not the Red Tower owner but his subordinates who moved on their own.”
Baek Woo-jin immediately gave an answer as if he had prepared it in advance.
“You can’t stop that. Instead, we should take advantage of other benefits. “No matter who did it, they tried to take the life of a direct descendant of the Baek family from Lucas, so they must be held accountable for that crime and take away the area that Lucas has maintained and worked on.”
“You mean to take away the fruit they grew.”
“That’s right. We need to take Lucas’ territory, expand our territory and keep putting pressure on them. And…”
Baek Woo-jin continued, looking up at Baek Cheon-hwa.
“I think I can extract Lucas’ weaknesses and information from the Blue Tower executioner I captured and keep them.”
“That’s great. Very good.”
Baek Cheon-hwa laughed as if he was satisfied.
Baek Woo-jin’s answer was exactly what he thought.
He was really just spitting out the words he liked.
“I think you resemble me the most.”
In response to Baek Cheon-hwa’s words, Baek Woo-jin did not say anything and just lowered his head.
‘That’s the worst compliment.’
-Your father seems to really like it?
‘Because I came up with an answer you’ll like.’
All of the answers he gave were ones that Baek Cheon-hwa would like.
It was to gain his favor and receive better treatment.
-Your sister thinks you’re cute too? I keep looking.
Darkness muttered teasingly.
‘It doesn’t even sound like a horse!’
Contrary to what the darkness said, Baek Seon-ah was glaring at Baek Woo-jin as if she were going to kill him.
If this wasn’t the Gaju battle, he looks like he would have drawn his sword and attacked.
“You’ve had the best performance so far.”
“thank you.”
-I can’t believe this kind of praise came from your father’s mouth. Will the sun rise in the west tomorrow?
‘My father says that on purpose.’
Baek Woo-jin was reading Baek Cheon-hwa’s psychology.
He was praising himself even more in order to ignite Baek Sun-ah’s competitive spirit.
“Well done to both of you. “Go back.”
“yes!”
“Yes…”
Unlike Baek Woo-jin, a weak answer flowed from Baek Seon-ah’s mouth.
It was because he knew that he was not the main character of the day.
“Huh…”
Baek Seon-ah glared at Baek Woo-jin’s back as he left the family battle with venomous eyes.
‘I’ll have to ask that person for help again.’
**
Baek Woo-jin’s revelation of the existence of the execution team in Lucas and his capture of the executioner caused a bigger stir than anything else.
The Association and the New Swordsman began to put pressure on Lucas, and several guilds, including Daeyeonmun, also intervened.
Lucas formally apologized, but said that it was not Kim Jeong-woo, the owner of the red tower, who did it, but his subordinates under him, and handed over their personal information to the Association of Talented Persons.
-LOL Lucas was in that kind of place. I covered my eyes and fell asleep.
-Do you think there are people who are fooled by things like that?
-Lucas’s image has taken a hit, but he’s falling once again. Is this Bitcoin cosplay?
-Everything else aside, isn’t Baek Woo-jin truly amazing? You single-handedly turned the reputation of one of the four major guilds into a rag. Has there ever been a person with that kind of ability?
-Baek Cheon-hwa has beaten everyone by force, but he couldn’t do it like Baek Woo-jin. Isn’t it included in textbooks?
People were disappointed with Lucas’ appearance but praised Baek Woo-jin’s performance.
“Hmm….”
Baek Woo-jin, who was receiving a lot of attention from people, was nodding his head while looking at his smartphone.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
Lucas cut off the tail as he expected.
‘Even so, we can’t prevent the image from falling.’
-They made a wrong decision from the beginning. I should have just killed you using every means at my disposal.
‘That’s true, but it sounds a bit sad.’
-It should have been that way. I don’t really hope so.
‘know.’
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand and smiled.
‘But it’s too late now. Whether it’s Red Tower or Lucas, you won’t be able to move for a while.’
-If someone attacks you, everyone will think it’s Lucas. They should actually protect you.
‘yes.’
It is as the darkness says.
Right now, Lucas can’t even think about attacking someone because he wants to protect them.
I’m sure he’ll rush to kill me again later.
“young master. Im here.”
“okay.”
At Moon Ju-young’s words, Baek Woo-jin got out of the car.
He entered a cafe that looked dirty.
“welcome.”
Yoo Jin-ah, the head of Black Market’s Seongnam branch, stood up smiling brightly.
“Long time no see.”
“I heard about your activities through previous news. Please sit this way.”
Yoo Jin-ah guided Baek Woo-jin to his seat and brought him warm coffee.
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin smelled the light and soft scent of coffee and then brought it to his mouth.
The slightly bitter yet sweet taste captivated my tongue.
“It’s delicious.”
“Our coffee is perfect.”
Eugene smiled.
“How was it? “This information.”
-It was this woman, after all.
‘okay.’
It was Yoo Jin-ah who sent Baek Woo-jin a text message and gave him information about the executioner.
“Can I be honest with you? Or would you like to exaggerate it a bit?”
“Honestly.”
“Then let me be honest. Actually, it didn’t help much.”
“Really?”
Yoo Jin-ah’s expression and tension suddenly subsided as if it wasn’t the answer she was expecting.
“I didn’t know that Kim Yeon-seong was an executioner, but I knew from the entrance of the dungeon that he had a plan and was hiding his abilities. So I memorized his mana. “After that, I knew he was following me around the dungeon, so I deliberately acted to lure him out.”
“Then…”
“Yes. “Even if I didn’t know it was the executioner, I wouldn’t have been attacked by him.”
“Ah…”
“But since I knew he was the executioner, it helped me get the information out.”
Yoo Jin-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin’s eyes and mouth and was convinced.
Baek Woo-jin’s words just now were sincere and true.
He would have dealt with the executioner even without his information.
‘After all, he’s someone you shouldn’t miss.’
Baek Woo-jin was a level 6 swordsman who summoned two intermediate spirits and even showed strategic moves.
He was someone I absolutely had to catch.
“So that means it was only half helpful.”
“I guess you could say so.”
“It’s really difficult to satisfy you, Master.”
“As long as you give me this coffee, I can be satisfied at any time.”
“Wow, that’s a difficult order. great. Now I have Ogi. “Next time, I’ll have to catch you with really solid information.”
Yujinah smiled lightly and clenched her fists.
“Then thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled.
“Then let me tell you the following. The auction date was set for 5 days later. Of course, the weapons you provided were also registered.”
“okay.”
“I confirmed that the ‘thing’ you mentioned before was also registered.”
“really?”
“yes.”
Eugene nodded as if she was sure.
“Then I guess I should definitely participate.”
“But what will you do with your face when you participate?”
“The face?”
“yes. “Our auctions can be revealed or hidden.”
In black market auctions, it didn’t matter whether the face was hidden or not.
Those who had many enemies hid their identities, and those who had no qualms showed their faces.
-You have to hide it at all costs.
‘why?’
-Why, why! If you reveal your identity, will your enemies remain silent? They’ll raise the price of everything you want to buy, making you waste your money.
‘I guess so too?’
Baek Woo-jin smiled slyly.
Listening to the words of darkness gave me a very good idea.
“My recommendation is to use a mask and an alias to hide your identity.”
“you’re right. You have many enemies. “It will definitely hinder your ability to purchase items.”
Even Moon Ju-young was telling him to hide his identity.
“Lucas Daeyeonmun will also participate as Gwangdomun, the Phoenix hero who is not on good terms with you.”
“Hmm…”
The name of a large guild was thrown out loud, but Baek Woo-jin’s expression was calm.
“Branch manager.”
“yes?”
“Do you get anything extra if the items auctioned off at the Seongnam branch sell well?”
Instead of talking about his identity, Baek Woo-jin asked something else.
“yes? Well, if it is sold at a good price, the commission will be that much higher. “You get paid more.”
“Then let me make some money.”
“yes?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled confidently.
“I will raise the auction items from the Seongnam branch by several times the price and sell them.”
While saying those words, Baek Woo-jin opened the inventory of darkness.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Hundreds of magic stones rained down from the air.
“Ah…”
The amount of magic stones was so huge that Eugene was surprised. The number of large boss magic stones was so large that it was visible.
“First of all, please change this into money. “Please let me know some rumors.”
**
Baek Woo-jin took Moon Ju-young with him to participate in the black market auction.
Of course, his face was fully exposed.
“Baek Woo-jin?”
“It’s Baek Woo-jin!”
“You’re coming with my face covered?”
“I heard that Daeyeonmun, Lucas, Phoenix, and Gwangdomun are coming today. What kind of guts are you talking about?”
People looked at Baek Woo-jin and looked puzzled.
It’s obvious that there will be people disrupting the auction, but I can’t understand why they show their faces.
-Look. Everyone recognizes you.
‘That’s why I made a face. If there were one or two enemies, I would have covered my face too. But if you have many enemies like me, it actually helps.’
-what?
‘The money they spend trying to hinder me will ultimately be wasted.’
Baek Woo-jin headed into the auction house with a cheerful smile.
-Umm…
When Darkness saw Baek Woo-jin’s smile, he felt as if hairs that weren’t there were standing on end.
-What kind of trick are you trying to pull again? You bastard!
