In an instant, the Soga Clothing Shop became noisy.

“Emergency!”

“Intruder!”

A few security guards rushed out, lit torches, and the windows of the lodgings where Yeo Il-ye and Mo Yong-yeon-hwa were staying burst open.

Meanwhile, Dokgo Iseol attacked the attackers. Dokgo Iseol’s ability to easily subdue one person, as befits a supremely skilled person, was soon blocked.

It was proof that there was someone capable of withstanding at least one part of the Dokgo Yi theory.

“Get out of the way!”

Although there were many people he had to deal with right away, he immediately raised his strength and swung his sword.

Whoops!

The uninhabited island that Dokgo Iseol was fighting against also rose up and was blocked.

“Tch!”

“Hehe, there is no way.”

While the supreme intruder blocks Dokgo Iseol, the remaining intruders quickly disperse throughout the Sogapomok branch.

As the destination seemed to have been decided in advance, Black Cat realized that they had made a thorough plan and invaded.

The black cat immediately turned its attention to Son Mi-ok. After seeing that Son Mi-ok had already opened her eyes due to the commotion, the black cat grabbed Son Mi-ok’s hand and whispered.

“Let’s move.”

“Wouldn’t this be the safest place…?”

The black cat shook his head.

Since the other party came in with a thorough plan, there was a high possibility that they knew where Son Mi-ok usually lived.

It is true that Son Mi-ok’s room was structurally stable, but it was not a fortress strong enough to block intruders who came in, so she had to hide somewhere else.

The black cat thought about that and bit its lip.

wherever?

The intruder has already spread in all directions. In this situation, is there a safe place to take Son Mi-ok, who does not know martial arts, to?

Squeak!

A black cat stopped for a moment in despair. Seogong, who was looking at the black cat, bit the cat’s sleeve and pulled it.

It seemed as if Seo-gong was trying to drag him somewhere, but the black cat shook his head at Seo-gong. It was better to stay here until I could find a safe place.

Snap!

Seogong tapped the ground with his tail as if he was frustrated and then pretended to scratch the floor.

One word passed through the black cat’s head when he saw that scene.

“….oysters?”

Squeak!

Seogong nods his head. As the black cat looked at Seo-gong like that, the image of Seo-gong coming back covered in dirt every day came to mind.

Hyeok Gi-rin, a fireworks expert who watched Seo-gong with his eyes open, always ended up missing Seo-gong, so wouldn’t the cave dug by Seo-gong be the safest place in the current situation?

Snap!

The black cat took steps as if captivated by the confident attitude of Seogong leading him.

The place where Seogong arrived was a room piled with cleaning tools and household items. Seogong skillfully tore off the wooden board from the floor with his tail.

Looking at that scene, the black cat was inwardly astonished. Because the entrance to the cave was built in such an exquisite location, even Hyukgi-rin was unable to find the cave.

“…This is.”

And the black cat’s eyes widened at the size of the cave revealed by the wooden silo. I thought it was just a small, roughly dug cave, but it seemed like it could easily hide a few people, and the floor was flat so it was a proper hiding place.

Seogong wrapped Miok’s hand with his tail and led her to the den. When Mi-ok enters the cave, Seogong settles down at the entrance of the cave.

Snap!

Seeing Seo-gong’s actions as if he was saying that he would protect Mi-ok, Black Cat hugged Seo-gong tightly.

“…Thank you.”

It is a powerful attack that can deal with quite a few experts with a small status and can return to its original state if circumstances arise. Seogong poked his nose into the black cat’s cheek and then used his tail to gently return the wooden board to its original position.

It was such a relief that the black cat completely relaxed and raised its energy.

The light that enveloped the black cat’s body was not the blue light of ice spirit qigong as always, but the black light of black spirit qigong.

The black cat thought as he wrapped the black spirit qigong around his body and killed his body and presence.

Intruders attacked in the middle of the night. They probably came up with this plan thinking that the darkness of the night was on their side.

But they wouldn’t know.

Night is the cat’s time.

So, from now on, you will have to pay for your ignorance.

darkness of night. And black spirit qigong. Black Cat, who completely eliminated his presence and his new form by two means, took his place.

It was the beginning of the hunt.

*** ***

Kwaaaa!!!

As Yeo Il-ye’s career poured down like a storm, Chamjeong, one of the captains who participated in Gwangyun’s plan, barely escaped with a groan of difficulty.

Even though she was a woman with a great reputation, I thought it was just the pinnacle of a person, but when I actually saw it in person, my stomach tingled.

A sword that extends straight from not one but two swords and burns like a flame. It was surprising that he could produce two swords like that, and the energy that enveloped his entire body was clearly a self-defense force.

Yeo Il-ye’s strength thwarted the enemy’s plans. Originally, each shipowner would have had to deal with Ho Cheon-an and his party one at a time, but it ended up being four people dealing with three people: Yeo Il-ye, Dokgo I-seol, and Mo Yong-yeon-hwa.

In this situation, if So Yeon-hwa shows up, it is a sure defeat.

But there was still hope.

‘You just have to hold out until the hostage is taken!’

I don’t know if I will be able to catch So Yeon-hwa as originally planned, but if I take the servants hostage, I will at least be able to escape safely. Thinking like that, Chamjeong and Gwangyun blocked Yeo Il-ye’s double sword attack.

Chamjeong, who barely managed to withstand the storm-like attack of Yeo Il-ye, looked at his trembling curved sword and cursed in his mind at his subordinates and the subordinates of other captains.

‘What’s taking these damn bastards so long!’

At best, it’s a simple matter of catching people who haven’t even learned martial arts, so why haven’t they shown up yet?

When Chamjeong was cursing his subordinates like that.

One of the robbers found a servant hiding behind a kitchen jar.

“Were you hiding here?”

“Hi! Please, just save my life!”

Sujeok was irritated as he held his sword to the servant’s neck.

“Wake up right now! I know how much trouble I went through to find you!”

“Yes! Yes!”

Finding something in an unfamiliar place in the middle of the night is never easy. But what if the target is a person and they know the inside of the building well?

These days, big things have been happening at the Soga Clothing Store, so even the servants have been on high alert. So, when the night raid began, they found a place to hide and hid, and the bandits had no choice but to search the building like teeth to find the servants.

“Hey! I found one here!”

“Then let’s go!”

“Damn it! Where is everyone hiding!”

The answer came back with a noise from somewhere inside the building. Sujeok frowned at the answer he received.

What kind of ship’s bastard is this that he’s so mean-spirited?

Sujeok, who was thinking about whether or not he should grab him once after work was over, trembled at the explosively spreading energy wave. Although they had experienced the extreme momentum of the captain several times, their strength was incomparable to that of such a captain.

Naturally, fear arose in the minds of the enemy, as they did not want to get close to the expert with such brutal force, and that fear soon led to doubts about the strategy.

Would a master like that be obediently told to take a servant hostage?

No, the moment you show up holding a hostage, wouldn’t someone like me just have his head blown away?

When I started to have doubts, it was a bit strange that a considerable amount of time had already passed and no one had returned after taking the hostages. Perhaps there had already been a hostage taken and returned, but that trembling expert’s attack had left him alone?

Even if the captains were top experts, it seemed unlikely that they would be able to completely block such experts, so it was quite a possibility.

The number of thoughts that reached that point made the trembling servant feel like a burden. Haven’t we ended up in a situation where we have to catch this guy and jump into danger?

‘You can’t do it alone. At least one person should go with me.’

“You! Move!”

“Yes, yes!”

Sujeok pushed the servant into the pavilion and shouted.

“Hey! There’s no need to take too many hostages! Let’s do it in moderation and then go back!”

“Will it be just one person? There are ten people here just now.”

Sujeok frowned because the answer coming from somewhere was too straightforward. Sujeok, who came to the conclusion that in order to go back with these damn bastards, had to find them himself, he poked the servant on the back and said,

“Move!”

Sujeok frowned at the sight of the servant trembling and moving slowly and looked around. Like he said earlier, the number of people who came here was about ten. It’s a bit large, but it’s a two-story building at best, so you’ll probably run into anyone.

thud!

There was a noise from the second floor, as if someone had lost his temper and overturned the furniture.

“Go to the second floor.”

“Hi! Yes!”

Creak. Squeak.

Sujeok followed the servant to the second floor and frowned. Don’t these guys even know the basics of search? If there are ten people, they should spread out one by one and look in all directions. Why do they crowd around and search?

This is why I can’t find even one person.

Sujeok, who came up to the second floor angrily, soon realized that the second floor was too quiet.

“…what is it.”

Since there were ten people there, it must have been full of people, but how could it be so quiet?

Sujeok sensed something was wrong, but he couldn’t make any further inferences. Just filled with instinctive fear, he wrapped his arms around the servant he had caught earlier and pointed the weapon at his neck.

“Gasp! Please save me!”

“Shut up! Be quiet!”

If there was a commotion of this magnitude, anyone should have raised a voice, but the only sound that could be heard was the trembling breathing of the servant, so it felt like his heart was going to burst from the tension.

“Where have all these bastards gone!”

Wow!!

Unable to overcome his tension, Sujeok kicked the cabinet in the hallway, causing the jar inside the cabinet to fall and break.

Hike!

The enemy’s head turned. For sure. I definitely heard someone moaning. The enemy wrapped the servant’s neck around him and used it as a shield and slowly headed towards him.

The closet caught the eye of the enemy, who was looking in all directions. It’s big enough to fit one person, or even two people if you cram it in.

Sujeok approached the closet with a servant in front of him and suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked the closet. If someone was inside, it was a move to embarrass the other person.

bang!

“Hiik!”

However, contrary to the enemy’s expectations, the voice came from the bed behind him. Sujeok immediately turned around and threw off the blanket.

Then a crying maid came into view.

Sujeok, who had been tense as if he would run out of breath at any moment, suddenly relaxed. Was it a hidden servant?

“You…”

Someone’s hand was placed on the sword of the enemy who was trying to press this servant to find out what was going on in the current situation.

The man, startled by the hand that seemed to have literally protruded from the darkness of the ceiling, reflexively pulled the sword, but the sword held in his beautiful hand did not budge.

“Ah.”

A figure appeared that seemed to be literally wrapped in darkness. The only thing proving that the figure, all swallowed up in darkness, was a person was the two bright eyes, so the number had an intuition that all the number had been put in order in the hands of this person.

That was the last thought of the hostage taker.
