“Mr.”
“Yes”
Looking at Moyong Baek I say
“Now that we are going to the Great Raven Clan to punish their leader. What do we do?”
“Hmm.”
Moyong Baek grabs his chin and thinks. He asks
“Don’t you normally go and destroy everything?”
“That is when there is no way out.”
I glare at him and he continues
“I see you won’t.”
I nod.
“I cannot do that all the time. I can since it is possible but will you be alright?”
Moyong Baek looks at our hostage who is trembling.
“Then let’s use the hostage…”
I shake my head.
“Looking at him will only make the clan enraged. Same thing.”
“Yes.”
“If you treat and take care of patients you will get used to it and become a better doctor but you will not know how things work in the world.”
“I see.”
“For now put him against the wall. To look like a beggar or an unconscious drunk. He isn’t even that important so we don’t need him all the way.”
Moyong Baek takes the guy and puts him near a wall.
“Sit down.”
I tell him
“Take care of the blood points.”
“Yes.”
Moyong Baek without wasting time immediately touches the man’s blood points. Only then did I say to Moyong Baek looking at the front gate of the Great Raven Clan
“Let’s go.”
I go to the front gate and knock on the other side with my hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I look at Moyong Baek with a calm expression.
“I am a member of the escort services and this side is Moyong Baek an escort. Is the leader here?”
The man looks at us with a wide mouth.
“Ah…”
I push the gate open and enter the place asking again
“Is the leader here?”
The man says
“Wait the money is being prepared so….”
“I am not going to talk to you. Tell the leader to come.”
I stride towards the main hall not talking to the guy so he follows and says
“Representatives of the Hwayang Escort services have arrived!”
The stupid underling spoke about it.
Moyong Baek hurriedly turns his head around to check the situation around us. Warriors are coming in from here and there but they can’t say anything when they see us.
Because this is a place which did wrong.
We arrive at the front of the main hall in an instant and open it with both hands like officials who have come to collect taxes.
“Great Raven Clan Leader! Are you here?”
There was no one in the empty hall. I rush right in and sit first in the place meant for guests without asking.
“Escort Moyong sit.”
“Yes”
A few of the people poke their heads in and then vanish. At the same time a guy who seems like a person who manages the place is talking to someone while coming in.
“Shut up!”
I deliberately yell for everyone to hear and this makes my shout resound.
“…”
The guy coming in stops and looks at me. I frown and tell him
“Call your leader.”
“Ah I understand.”
I return to the main hall and sit next to Moyong Baek and explain.
“We came in using the name of the escort service and the middle guy is scared by my voice… And we go straight for the leader. Isn’t this quicker than bringing the hostage?”
Moyong Baek nods.
“Yes. I haven’t forgotten about it.”
I nod.
“These people must know a lot about the escort service. It could be this and that but they might know about the clothes they use and try something like that but remember that we aren’t doing anything wrong.”
“You mean to be bold.”
“Bold and confident.”
Up to this point Moyong Baek didn’t waver so we waited there for the leader to come.
Great Raven Clan leader Hwang Gayo.
32 years old.
In order to completely convert the power of the first pill he took he was concentrating on cultivating. Especially today he felt like he could pass an important hurdle if he managed to do this.
Of course he knew there would be problems if he took the pill. However once he had the thought it wasn’t easy to not take the pill and so he decided that taking that would help him deal with the escort services.
After all Kangho is about using martial arts.
Of course he was saving money in preparation for buying the pill.
Hwang Gayo’s handling of Kangho and its situation was always meticulous.
Right now the Great Raven Clan was in a tough situation so their Leader Hwang was struggling for it. And right now he noticed that there was a commotion outside.
‘Who came? Is it those from the escort services? Whoever it is hold on. I need to end this.’
He had the confidence to solve anything if he could finish the cultivation right now. So Leader Hwang focused on cultivation not caring about the noise from outside. A single drop of sweat began to trickle down his face.
The voice of his most trusted subordinates was heard from the outside.
“Leader. I am sorry. I think the people of the escort services are here you might have to come.”
Leader Hwang couldn’t speak.
“…’
“Shall we kick them out?”
“…”
“Rather I will buy time.”
At this the man opened his eyes bursting into laughter.
“… Hahahaha!”
This is so refreshing!
After finishing the cultivation Leader Hwang lowered his hands and exhaled. The state of his cultivation was clear since he gave up on sleep for days and did this.
Leader Hwang says
“You can open the door.”
As soon as the subordinate opens the door he checks the expression of Leader Hwang and hurriedly kneels down and says
“Leader I will enter!”
While stroking his beard with a pleased expression Leader Hwang asks
“Who came?”
“Your young escorts from the services. And their aura is scary.”
Leader Hwang smiles.
“Jun Pyung there is no need for us to be afraid of them anymore. I will finish the work myself and put down those cocky bastards.”
The man called Jun Pyung brightens up and says
“I will be loyal to your actions leader!”
And Leader Hwang nods.
“In the end I have been given such a chance. Let’s go.”
Leader Hwang who gets up from his place snatches the long sword and heads to the main hall.
I am talking with Moyong Baek in the main hall only to look at a bastard who comes in laughing.
“Hahaha….”
I blink my eyes and then confirm that this guy was the leader of this place. A man who seemed to be full of confidence sits down and looks at us.
“I am Hwang Gayo. And I was told you people came from the escort services.”
I nod.
“Leader Hwang…”
But the guy raises his hand to cut me off and says
“I don’t even have a wish to know what you want to say. Go back and bring me your leader. It is distasteful for me to handle things with their henchmen.”
“No….”
“Shut up”
I look at Moyong Baek and he looks at me before turning to the leader.
“Look. Leader Hwang listen to the story. You realize how rude you are?”
Fortunately Leader Hwang was making Moyong Baek angry. I spoke politely but this guy’s response was rubbing Moyong Baek the wrong way.
“Leader Hwang in order to pay the price for the hundred-year-old pill you have to pay great funds. There was a situation where your people were making money by robbing a guest house. Is this the right way? Even the honor we have built will be lost if you do such things using us as an excuse.”
The guy smiles.
“Ah you came to ask about that?”
“Yes.”
Leader Hwang points next to him as if it was no big deal.
“Jun Pyung”
“Yes leader.”
“What is this?”
“I apologize.”
“There is no need to do that to raise money. I will take care of it so stop snatching money from them.”
“I understand.”
Leader Hwang looks at me.
“Okay now?”
I smile and nod and he turns to Moyong Baek.
“Now stop with the unkind words and bring your leader to me.”
He spoke as if he had nothing to do with the situation.
When he gets up Moyong Baek seems pissed.
“Leader Hwang sit down.”
When I see his expression I realized Moyong Baek was angry
Anyway even the most patient people go insane once they step into Kangho. It is because the more people they meet the more disgusting they realize people are and enduring it turns tough.
Moyong Baek says to Leader Hwang
“Leader Hwang wasn’t our escort service making a big concession by asking you to pay at your pace? How dare you act out like this? Did you think now that you got the pill down you can act however you want?”
Leader Hwang laughs and says
“Young escort do I look like an easy person?”
I can see the eyes of Moyong Baek changing so I touch his hand.
“Nice. The jokes end here.”
I take out my dagger and put it in the table as I tell Leader Hwang
“… sit down.”
He looks at the dagger and then at me.
“Young…”
“Sit down you bastard if you don’t want to die.”
“…”
Only then did he realize that something was odd and sat down.
“You people aren’t from the escort service.”
He turns to his man called Jun Pyung and he strides out of the main hall maybe trying to get the others.
Putting his hand into his sleeve Moyong Baek speaks calmly to Jun Pyung.
“Stop.”
Moyong Baek takes out a long needle and lightly inserts it into the table.
He was glaring at Jun Pyung and says
“You stand right there.”
Jun Pyung stands still because he knew Moyong baek threw out the needle.
Leader Hwang laughs.
“This is inane. See now…”
He raised his right hand and his palm was turning red as if he mastered the supreme martial arts.
And he asks us
“You want me to try this? The Great Palm of the Great Raven Clan?”
I flick my thumb with my finger making a snapping sound and then inject fire qi. There was this crackling sound as if the air caught fire and the red glowing flame rose from my fingers and turned into the shape of flame and vanished.
I reply while rubbing my ear with my left hand
“What? I couldn’t hear you? Was there a dog barking from somewhere? Moyong did you hear anything?”
To which Moyong Baek said
“A stupid dog barked.”
“…”
I look up and down at the leader.
“I am asking. Did you bark?”
Leader Hwang hurriedly withdraws his hand and looks at the flame I made. This guy is barely at the level of making anything with flame and in terms of swordsmanship I can do martial arts with the level of considering the sword to be free moving. Unless he is an idiot he should have understood the difference.
Leader Hwang says
“Well from where?”
When his attitude changed this fast Moyong Baek’s expression changed.
I glare at him and say
“Low-Down Sect Leader.”
Moyong Baek glares and says
“Moyong Baek of the Low-Down Sect”
I say to him who went silent
“The price you paid for them. The additional amount needed to pay the escort service as an apology. The payoffs from the inns and merchants that your people went to steal and the damage your people caused in there for them the physical and mental damage. The amount of touching something which belonged to another. Bring everything right in front of me.”
Leader Hwang couldn’t even ask.
“… do not do anything odd. Bring it when I say to and it is all good. And if you don’t like this come at me. I will handle you. And after beating you down I can easily get someone to replace you.”
At my words Moyong Baek looks at Leader Hwang.
“You what do you plan to do now?”
I look at Moyong Baek…
And we both smile at the same time.
