episode_0072

I didn’t think much time had passed, but it turned out that a lot had passed.

“What time is it now?”

“It’s been three o’clock since the sun rose… It’s probably past 5 o’clock (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.)!”

“Ah, it’s ruined.”

“Ma, damn… Phew! is it so! We’re in big trouble! Everyone who was invited as a guest must already be here! There will be no one called the owner!”

Hwaryeong laughed for a moment as if my words had come out unconsciously, but she scolded me again due to the seriousness of the situation.

“No matter how much Park Sohyeop has reached the peak of mastery and perfection, it will take a long time to get there from here! What should I do… !”

“So speaking, Jean Soger. Please forgive my rudeness from now on.”

“What rudeness? Rudeness is what Park Sohyeop does to its customers… Kwak?!”

Actions are quicker than words, and forgiveness is quicker than permission, so I hugged her like a princess.

She had an expression on her face that said that even though I was at a higher level, she never expected that I would be subdued so easily.

I quickly kicked my foot off the ground before anything came out of her mouth.

Pow-!!

“Kyaaaggg-?!”

Uncontrollable energy burst through my feet and onto the ground, and I quickly escaped out of the cave.

“Now, wait a minute! Park Sohyeop! Tree in front… !”

‘Shriel.’

[huh! Our Hyeonseong! Let’s fly far into the sky! Hahaha!!]

While flying in the air, I kicked the air and flew towards the sky.

Hwaryeong opened her mouth wide and trembled at the magical running I showed her.

“Neul, Neungempty Road?!! Oh my god, when did I learn this walking technique!”

“I don’t really know what the skill gap is, I’m just running according to my thoughts. And didn’t Jin Sozer think that I was a more expert than Sozer from the beginning?”

“I thought so! I didn’t think so before, and you told me so too! But looking at the way he shows it, it’s clear that he’s a much more expert than me! Even apart from internal skills and such! Ahhh! Really, what is this! I don’t know, really!!”

Jinhwaryeong held his head and tried to accept the unknown reality. Her hair would have been quite a mess if I hadn’t had the wind softened by Shriel.

She also secretly realized that I was doing something, but she lowered her head as if she remembered what she had just shown me. I don’t really care about that.

While I was walking quickly in silence for a while, I felt a strong energy rising in my body.

‘It’s definitely the manor that I bought and will hold the opening ceremony today, but this…’ ?’

Feeling something strange, I looked closely at my manor, and saw that some strange man was holding a knife and threatening Hwang Woong.

“Such a crazy bastard.”

“Yes, yes… ?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, Jean Sozer. I’m not saying this to Sojeo, but there’s a guy in my manor holding a knife and threatening Hwang Woong.”

“Yes, yes?! what… Is there anything more dishonorable than trying to harm your host as a guest? !”

As expected, it’s not me who is strange, but the guy I see right now is strange.

I took out another sword from my inventory and held it in my hand.

And the moment the guy raised the knife to his head and tried to cut Hwang Woong,

Huuuch—!!

I threw a little bit of my energy towards the guy’s sword and stopped him from trying to kill Hwang Woong.

“Keuuu! Who are you?”

Who is the landlord?

When we arrived at the manor, we adjusted the wind slightly and slowly went down to the ground.

“ … This is Ki Chun-soo, Jongnam’s One Dragon in the World. He is also a descendant of the Muhangi family in Wuhan, where the Murim Alliance is located. It seems that Deacon Hwang Woong committed such evil acts just because he was from the Black Island.”

Jinhwa-ryeong, who quietly tells me the identity of the guy, casts his eyes towards the guy. Looking at their expressions, they don’t seem particularly friendly. On the contrary, it was bad if it was bad.

I felt reassured by that and spoke out at him without any hesitation.

“Huh, indeed. This is ridiculous. How can someone who appears to be a guest be acting like this in the host’s house? I trained a disciple well at the Jongnam faction.”

“Mu, Mumu, what?!”

The guy looks up at me, his face scrunched up, and shouts.

“Geo, Geogeeogeo Geumbowong–?! Why is Geombong in Nomtop’s arms…? ?!!”

That damn top is the owner of where you are?

The momentum of the guy spewing out absurd words is directed at me, not at Hwang Woong this time.

“This guy! Let go of Jin Mae right now! Such a vicious enemy!”

“You are the evil enemy. What kind of behavior is this to the owner in someone else’s house, especially in a place where you are going to have a snack?”

“Owner? So then you were a grandiose, presumptuous guy called Ice Flame God Dragon?”

Well, I admit that it’s a grandiose thing, but if you say it’s presumptuous, I’m going to start an open fight, right?

While I was dumbfounded and wondering what to do with this bastard, I heard a familiar voice.

“It’s been a while, Hyeon Sohyeop.”

“Everything is fine, so why not put down your sword? I know that he was angry enough to point his sword at him even after finding out that he was Jongnam’s disciple, but it would be a different story if he found out that the person he was pointing that sword at was the world’s greatest dragon.”

The Jangmun of the Hwasan School and the Master of the Hwaryongmun come side by side and show their spirit to me. Could it be that the fact that there is no way to live can be considered an extenuating reason?

Perhaps because they misunderstood that I was so dumbfounded that I didn’t say anything, their mood became even more triumphant.

“Please don’t stop me, Jang Mun-in of the Hwasan Sect and Master Mun of the Hwaryongmun. I, the king of all the world, cannot endure without slitting the head of that evil enemy who dared to insult Jin Mae.”

“The One Dragon in the World, please be calm. Jinhwaryeong, please come here and explain the situation. What on earth is this? A disciple of Hwasan was hugged by a man who lived outside of his home. How could you be so foolish… .”

However, it was Hwaryeong, not me, who quelled their momentum.

“Jin Mae? Ki Chun-soo, I have never given you permission to call me that.”

“Oh, no… . That’s not what’s important… !”

“What if that’s not important? I hope you don’t unnecessarily pretend to be friendly with me. That’s a much more important story to me.”

“Yes, this guy! What nonsense is happening now… !”

“The same goes for Jang Moon-in. A person named Jang Mun-in of the Hwasan faction is putting pressure on someone who has ties to Hwasan. I just can’t understand this.”

“Evolution Spirit—!”

The guy who is wondering if it is radish or radish has a red face and gets angry at Jin Hua-ryeong.

However, Hwaryeong faced them all with a coldness that was 100 times sharper than the cold face she showed me the first day I met her.

“Moreover, the owner of this place right now is Hyeonseong Munju, who is here. How can you stay silent while a guest is trying to harm someone in the host’s house? Was that what we learned about volcanic weather?”

“This bitch says let’s see, how dare you–!”

“It would be better for both of you to stop there.”

What calmed the atmosphere that seemed to be getting heated was an old man in Jongnam uniform who had been watching the scene with his back just a moment ago.

‘Out of all the people here, he must be the strongest.’

This person seemed to have no intention of hiding his power like me, and was sparing no effort in distributing his strength to the crowd.

“Kuh, khuhuh… !”

“… !”

At that momentum, Mucheong, Jongnam’s young man, and Hwaryeong silently kept their mouths shut.

“This is not the way it should look on a good day like today, but it is a poor and unreasonable person.”

“Uhmmm… . I’m sorry, Gwang Daehyeop.”

“And Geombong, the same goes for you. Even though I am Jongnam’s elder, it doesn’t look good for a woman who has just become an elder of Hwasan to raise her words. No, isn’t it?”

“ … Excuse me, Senior Cheon Jung-geom.”

The two people bowed their heads to each other and stepped back, and in an instant, the atmosphere of the place was transferred to the person named Cheon Jung-geom.

‘As expected, Moorim is very strong. ‘I’m learning again.’

He looked at me, raised his arms, and slightly lowered his head.

“Unintentionally, a disciple of this inquiry has been rude to your opening ceremony. No matter how dark it is, it belongs to the owner of this place.”

“Now, Elder—!”

“Chunsu.”

The old man, who quietly apologized to me and softly scolded the guy who made the mess, seemed like a vain Taoist himself.

“Huh… . After all, it is a sword of heaven. It deserves to be called Jongnam’s Daehyup.”

“I heard that he is the strongest among the elders of Jongnam, right? People who are among the world’s top 100 masters are definitely different.”

But I could tell.

A cold light flashed in the old man’s eyes for a moment.

And when the old man looked at Jongnam’s servant, he was shocked and even afraid of the old man.

‘It’s just like seeing Kim Hee-jin’s father.’

The guild leader of the Daehan Guild, the father of his ex-girlfriend Kim Hee-jin, also felt this way.

When I needed him, he seemed to treat me without fault as my son-in-law, but when there was something wrong, he made it up to me and gaslighted me as if it was all my fault.

‘There is also a strong sense of being the chosen people… Kim Hee-jin just inherited that.’

Even in what was said a little while ago, there was something to be said about being rude. But he never said he was sorry in public.

And the old man’s smiling eyes seemed to send me this message.

-That’s it. Now that we’ve done this, make sure you step away too. Didn’t I take this much into consideration of the situation?

There is no way I, who have been under the radar in the Korean guild for years, would not know this look in their eyes.

‘I feel like I want to tear it all down right now, but… .’

Since this is where Hwaryeong lives, it wouldn’t be a good idea to make too much of a fuss.

Besides, I have a proper place to seek revenge, which is what the quest goal gave me anyway.

“Would you like to say this? It can be like that when you’re young. I just momentarily misunderstood where I was going to vent my passion, so how could I be angry, haha.”

“Hehe. From what I heard, you are not yet at the age of your contract… .”

“Does age matter? What we have learned from the past years is important.”

“Hehe. That sounds like a guru. I don’t know who it is, but Master taught me well. Be like yourself. Haha.”

So, if you don’t want to die like my teacher, don’t fuss, right?

My teacher is probably alive and well here and elsewhere, but I’m angry for no reason.

“Would you like to say this? In keeping with that spirit, we would like to make the name of our sect known in Seomseo and Murim.”

Grumbling—!

Damn it!

I raised my sword and used the Four Gods of War, raising fire and ice at the same time.

I was told to be a little more nervous before the exchange meeting, with the thought that I would have to do a performance.
