Chapter 918: So in the end.

“Kkeueo—!!!”

Young Master Baek lets out a scream. He tries to struggle somehow, but his crushed face remains fixed.

“You… you bastard—!!!”

“Ah, shut the fuck up, you brat.”

Kwadeudeuk–!!

“Kkeureureuaaa!!!”

Goo Yangcheon presses down harder with his foot.

Kkadeudeuk-! The sound of something breaking comes from Young Master Baek’s face.

“Don’t open your mouth carelessly. It makes me want to rip it off.”

“Heueo… kkeueo….”

“Do you understand? You fucking bastard. Do you understand me?”

Goo Yangcheon spews curses with a blank expression.

The disciples watching him couldn’t move rashly.

Jeorit-!

His whole body tingles. The aura spreading from Goo Yangcheon’s body was encroaching on everything.

“What a fucking piece of shit bastard making me feel like shit.”

Kwang-!

“Keoheok!”

He slightly lifts his foot and kicks Young Master Baek’s temple.

Young Master Baek’s body tries to fly off, but Goo Yangcheon moves slightly and grabs the bastard by the collar, holding him in place.

And then.

Jjaak-!

“What? Live according to your station?”

Jjaak–!!

He continuously slaps Young Master Baek’s cheeks with his hand.

Jjaak-!!

“Why the hell do you get to decide that, you fucking bastard? Who the hell are you?”

Jjaak-!

“Keo…kkeok….”

Jjaak—!!!

His cheeks turn from side to side.

Each time he’s hit, a sharp sound and a ripple burst out.

It meant he wasn’t hitting with moderate force. As if to prove it, Young Master Baek’s cheeks were getting progressively more swollen.

“Ueok… eo-eok….”

As Goo Yangcheon, who had been hitting him for a while, paused his hand.

Jureureuk-!

Blood flows.

The blood flowing from the bastard’s mouth dripped onto Goo Yangcheon’s hand, which was gripping his collar.

Ttuk. Ttuk.

Blood dripped, forming puddles on the floor.

Seeing that, the personnel moved belatedly.

“W-what are you doing! Save the Young Master immediately!”

Those who appeared to be guards tried to rush towards Goo Yangcheon, but.

“Hey.”

Goo Yangcheon’s eyes glinted as he looked at them.

“If you come any closer now, this guy dies.”

Udeudeuk-!

“Kkeureureuk….”

As if his words weren’t a lie, Goo Yangcheon grabbed Young Master Baek by the neck and applied pressure.

The sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Hearing that, the guards hesitated.

“Y-you…! Do you know who that person is, doing this now?!”

The guard shouted urgently, but Goo Yangcheon’s expression didn’t change upon hearing it.

“Then what about you guys?”

“What…?”

“Do you know who I am, doing this?”

“…Aren’t you guys from Hua San?”

“That’s right. Hua San. But… do you know who I am?”

Goo Yangcheon’s blank expression breaks.

The corners of his mouth rise, a smile equipping itself.

At that moment.

“Hieek-!”

“…Keuk…!”

As if they had seen a ghost, their bodies trembled violently.

That’s how menacing Goo Yangcheon’s smile was.

As he confidently spat that out with such an expression, the person in front hesitated.

They wondered if he might be an important figure.

“…Who are you?”

“You don’t know, right?”

“…”

“Yeah, it’s natural you don’t know. I don’t know you guys either. But.”

He raised the hand gripping Young Master Baek’s neck and grabbed the bastard’s cheek.

“Kkuueuk….”

“When people don’t know each other, they usually show some courtesy. You fucking bastards have none of that.”

“Kke…heueo…!”

Young Master Baek’s pain intensifies.

“Stop immediately! If you harm the Young Master any further, it will be irreversible…!”

“Irreversible? Then what happens?”

As he spoke as if daring him to say it, the guard frowned and said.

“The Young Master is… the heir of the White Family. If something happens to the Young Master, the Family Head will act. Then, it won’t be good for Hua San either-.”

“Kkwaaaak!”

Goo Yangcheon laid hands on Young Master Baek before he could even finish speaking.

At that sight, the guard’s eyes widened.

“Ah. So, in the end.”

“Kkeoheo….”

“This bastard is nothing without his family, right? In that case, I can just kill him.”

Veins bulged on his hand.

He really intended to kill him. Seeing that, the guard tried to intervene urgently, but.

Someone stopped Goo Yangcheon before that.

It was Goo Bong.

Goo Bong, with an urgent expression, grabbed Goo Yangcheon’s wrist.

“Stop…. Please stop.”

At those words, Goo Yangcheon looked at Goo Bong with a cold gaze.

Goo Bong’s body trembled greatly at that gaze.

It was too cold, overwhelmingly cold.

It was a gaze like looking at a pebble on the ground.

No, perhaps he was looking at him even more insignificantly.

Goo Yangcheon’s eyes were clearly like that now.

He wanted to back down immediately at that gaze, but Goo Bong had to endure.

“Please endure… Young Master Baek… please let him go.”

“Why?”

His tone was one of utter incomprehension.

Why on earth should he let him go? To that question, Goo Bong barely answered.

“Young Master Baek is… a noble. If you carelessly inflict further harm upon him here… you won’t be able to handle it.”

“Handle it?”

Ha.

At those words, Goo Yangcheon laughed as if it were amusing. It was a truly clear mockery.

One.

Tuk.

As if those words had worked, Goo Yangcheon let go of Young Master Baek whom he was holding.

Thud-! The bastard’s body collapsed onto the ground.

Goo Yangcheon kicked the bastard’s body, sending it flying far away.

His guards grabbed Young Master Baek’s body.

“Take him and get lost.”

“You bastard…!”

“If you don’t get lost now, you’ll all die here.”

Ssaaaaaaaa—!!!

“…!!”

Their bodies stiffened at the spreading killing intent.

Seeing that, Goo Yangcheon shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the Second Disciple disciples.

“What are you doing?”

“Yes…?”

At Goo Yangcheon’s words, the Second Disciple disciples wore a dazed expression.

Seeing that, he clicked his tongue and continued speaking.

“Move that stuff. Don’t just stand there gawking.”

“Ah…!”

The Second Disciple disciples’ stiffened bodies relaxed, and they moved urgently.

They approached several carts and grabbed them, but.

Only after grabbing them did the disciples recall a question.

But is it okay to follow orders like this? The moment such a thought flashed through their minds.

“Fuck. Aren’t you going to do it quickly? What are you doing, you slowpokes!”

“I-I’ll do it now!”

At the rough voice, the Second Disciple disciples moved quickly.

Thus, all the carts disappeared. Goo Yangcheon looked again at the remaining group of Young Master Baek.

“What, you bastards? Want to try something else?”

“…”

The guard supporting Young Master Baek scowled deeply.

“The White Family… will never overlook today’s events with Hua San lightly…”

Ppaak-!

“Kkeoek!”

The bastard’s head whipped sideways from the blow to his face.

Jureureuk-! Blood flowed from his nose, and a few teeth fell out with a clatter!

“Your tongue is too long. Shall I pull it out?”

“Kkeueu…heueu….”

“Shut up and get lost.”

He said it with annoyance, and only then did they hesitantly retreat.

He could feel many eyes watching him from the surroundings.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered due to the sudden commotion, but Goo Yangcheon didn’t pay attention to their gazes.

The Second Disciple disciples had all left. Goo Yangcheon, confirming this, turned his back.

There, Cheonma was watching him with a blank expression.

Goo Bong, standing nearby, was looking at Goo Yangcheon with an unreadable expression.

Ignoring them, Goo Yangcheon started to head back to where he originally was, but.

“Wait a moment-…!”

Goo Bong grabbed Goo Yangcheon.

No, he tried to grab him.

Just then.

Jjaak-!

“Keok…!”

Goo Yangcheon suddenly slapped Goo Bong across the cheek.

Goo Bong’s head turned, and he barely managed to turn his gaze back, his eyes widened, but.

“You fucking idiot.”

Goo Yangcheon merely sent a contemptuous gaze towards Goo Bong.

At that harsh insult, Goo Bong’s expression also furrowed.

“Why are you suddenly doing this….”

He couldn’t understand.

It was he who should have been angry.

“Do you know what the esteemed person did just now…?”

“What did I do?”

“You touched a noble…! We shouldn’t get involved with them.”

He knew Young Master Baek harbored ill intentions.

It was obvious that Goo Bong himself was probably the cause of it, but.

It was enough if he could resolve that malice within his own capacity.

Then, Hua San and the other disciples could have been handled without harm.

So, kneeling was something he could do anytime.

“You ruined it all…!”

Goo Bong finally said to Goo Yangcheon, filled with resentment.

“This is a contract obtained with such difficulty… If the White Family uses this as a pretext to become hostile towards Hua San…!”

“And if they do?”

“…Something major will happen to Hua San. More than we can handle. This was chosen with that in mind!”

You ruined it all.

Goo Bong said this with such feelings, but.

“What the hell are you talking about, you idiot?”

Goo Yangcheon scoffed at Goo Bong.

“You…!”

“Shut your mouth. You son of a bitch.”

“…!”

With words mixed with aura, Goo Bong’s mouth was truly shut.

“Don’t make excuses.”

At Goo Yangcheon’s firm tone, Goo Bong barely opened his mouth.

“I… excuses…”

“Not excuses? Bullshit.”

Kwak-!

“Keok!”

Goo Yangcheon grabbed Goo Bong by the neck.

“Touching a noble caused big trouble? Oh, how scary. Truly big trouble, huh? But you know.”

“Kkeueuk….”

“Why do you forget that you touched them first? You fucking bastard.”

More force was applied to his hand.

Goo Yangcheon had to use all his strength to control the increasing power.

“And yeah, I beat up that piece of shit. But that bastard started talking like a piece of shit first.”

As he spoke, his anger rose further.

“So I beat him. But what? This was originally your role to play, not mine.”

“…!”

Goo Bong’s eyes widened at Goo Yangcheon’s words.

He couldn’t speak. Goo Yangcheon was blocking him.

“You endure because you’re afraid Hua San will face big trouble if you touch him? That’s a really nice-sounding excuse. A great way to hide your idiotic thoughts.”

“Kke…heueu….”

“But why do you get to decide that? Are you the Sect Leader? Oh, maybe that old man told you to do this? To endure even when facing shitty things?”

Hahaha.

Goo Yangcheon laughed lowly.

His mouth was smiling as he laughed, but his eyes were not.

“I don’t think so? If it were that foul-tempered old man, if he experienced a situation like this…”

Goo Yangcheon’s expression changed in an instant.

Goo Bong’s heart pounded seeing Goo Yangcheon like that.

“He would have beaten him half to death, but he wouldn’t have stayed still. Do you know why?”

His eyes were full of conviction.

“That’s called pride that must be protected.”

A conviction that wouldn’t waver even a little.

“What happens afterward? You just have to handle that too. Why? Because it’s much better than Hua San’s beliefs and reputation rolling on the ground.”

“…”

“Enduring insults and humiliation just makes things easier? Ah, no. Let’s be precise. You chose the easier path because you didn’t want to handle it.”

Tuk.

“Keuk!”

Goo Bong, who had fallen to the ground, gagged.

“Ho-eok… heok….”

Goo Yangcheon was still looking down at Goo Bong, who was catching his breath.

“After this happens, Hua San will be in trouble. So what? Is that trouble more important than the pride of Hua San, which you belong to?”

“…!”

Goo Yangcheon’s words struck Goo Bong’s mind like lightning.

“Earlier, you almost threw the Hua San created by that old man into a cesspool yourself.”

That was it.

That’s what Goo Yangcheon didn’t like.

Goo Yangcheon was angry not at the idiot Young Master Baek, but at Goo Bong.

The Hua San that the annoying old man created as a new sanctuary.

No matter what time he spent, the disciples raised in his embrace were being ignored.

Furthermore.

And that they couldn’t stand up straight or handle it even after being ignored like that.

That was the reason he was angry.

“The knees you kneel with, invoking Hua San’s name, are the same as your Sect Leader kneeling. Don’t you know that, you punk?”

The voice suppressing emotions felt even rougher and more intense.

“That’s how it is. That’s the weight of being Hua San’s representative.”

Kwang-!

“Keoheok!”

Goo Yangcheon kicked Goo Bong in the chest, sending him flying.

“If only I endure, it’ll be fine? You’re spouting bullshit, you fucking bastard.”

Tzereujeuk-! Perhaps because he put force into his steps, the ground was crushed again.

Goo Yangcheon said as he passed Goo Bong.

“If you’re going to live like that, unable to handle anything and unable to protect your pride. Take off those clothes right now.”

Goo Yangcheon glanced over Goo Bong’s body as he passed.

“Because it’s not clothes that someone like you, who can’t even protect that, can wear.”

Saying that, he passed Goo Bong.

Cheonma followed behind him.

“…”

Where Goo Yangcheon had passed, Goo Bong should have remained sitting with a dazed expression.

For a very long time.
