Chapter Index

    Dang Do-gyeong, a fighting dog.

    “Hmm…”

    He is a person who knows the essence of my skills, and is one of the most active gamblers in the Tang family. Even excluding the people of the Tang family and my technical skills, he is a person who can be called a full-fledged gambler.

    I explained the situation to Dang Do-gyeong, who was called without knowing why. Oh, of course, I kept quiet about the fact that it took a long time.

    “Of course, after Brother Ho’s gambling skills were revealed to the Tang family, the gambling level of the Tang family increased dramatically.”

    Tang Do-gyeong was also skeptical about the fact that the old man of the dog could defeat the Tang family head, but he pondered for a moment and nodded as if he had come to a conclusion.

    “I will try to add even a little bit of my strength.”

    “Then would you like the two of you to compete right away? Brother Tang is mainly asking for methods that are popular in the party family these days.”

    “Hmm. Is that still okay?”

    Dang Do-gyeong’s question contained the meaning, ‘Is it really okay for me to give Dok’s wife-in-law, a famous master in martial arts and the most senior person in the Tang family, a muksabal?’ It seems that Dok-gyeong understood that meaning from Dang Do-gyeong’s tone. My face stiffened.

    “Hehe, even though Gwangryeol lost to that child, at one time I was also at the top of the party’s gambling table. Full of blood and confidence are characteristics that can be said to be the representative characteristics of the Tang family, but we must teach them a lesson that old ginger is spicy!”

    “I apologize, sir, but while you were away from the party, the gambling level of the party has improved dramatically…”

    “Uh-huh! There is such a thing as immutable truth! Don’t talk nonsense, just attack! With all our might!”

    When Dang Do-gyeong saw the old man’s attitude, he politely bowed his head and said, probably because he realized that shock therapy was necessary.

    “Then I will go sincerely.”

    A fierce battle between the two unfolded.

    The result was obvious.

    Dang Do-gyeong is a very nice person, but he doesn’t care at all about what other people think!

    Dan Do-gyeong, a symbol of ruthlessness, not only stole all the memorization of the direct descendants of the Tang family, but also stole the memorization of the head of the family!

    Dang Do-kyung, a martial arts master and the eldest member of the family, attacks the elderly without hesitation!

    I ordered it and called it knowing it would be like this, but he was a very refreshing person.

    “….huh.”

    The old man’s eyes were dead because he could not win a single match against Tang Do-kyung.

    “Hehe, I guess my wife has become an old man in the back room now…”

    After being robbed by Dang Do-gyeong, who is about the same age as his grandson, the old man seems to have become extremely skeptical.

    “Now I understand why you were so reluctant… Such a poor old man made a plan to defeat the head of the family, so hehehe…He should die when he gets old. Why did he live so tenaciously to enjoy wealth and glory…”

    Just as I was thinking about how to comfort the elderly man who was sighing heavily, Dan Do-gyeong smiled.

    “Elder, have you ever wondered why the level of gambling in the Tang family has suddenly improved so dramatically?”

    “…Um.”

    “Thanks to Brother Ho, who is right in front of me. When I learned gambling skills from Brother Ho and easily defeated the direct members of the Tang family, the head of the family invited Brother Ho to learn gambling skills and used those gambling skills to straighten the hierarchy of the Tang family.”

    The way Doki looks at me has changed.

    “It looks like Brother Ho didn’t brag because he was embarrassed, but Brother Ho is an absolute gambler who can win over a hundred nyang in gold in one night if he puts his mind to it. This is a fact that Do-yeon witnessed with her own eyes without any exaggeration.”

    “Keuhum. hmm. Party brother. It’s embarrassing, so leave it at that.”

    “…Is everything Dokyung said true?”

    The way the old man looked at me changed.

    “Well, first of all, it is true. I taught my skills to Do-kyung and also gave a lecture on the skills to the head of the family.”

    “Huh…I never dreamed you were such a hard-core gambler. No, maybe I should have looked into it when that sticky guy sent me a letter of introduction…”

    The old man’s motivation came back when he saw that Tang Do-gyeong and Dang Ga-ju, who had inflicted a crushing defeat on him, were my disciples(?).

    It seems that he had hopes that if he learned from me, he could defeat Dang Do-gyeong and Dang Gwang-ryeol, the head of the family.

    “First, I will explain our current technology trends.”

    Tang Do-gyeong simply performed the Yabawi technique using a square.

    “Huh, it certainly looks like my eyes are looking to the left…”

    A technique of stealing dice from a square while making it appear as if the dice are being rolled vigorously. When you actually use this technique, your brain will be fooled into thinking that the dice went into the glass at the end, even though the dice were not visible to the actual eyes.

    Since the dice rolled strongly, you naturally assume that you have been sucked into the last glass.

    It is a technique that works particularly well with people from the Party.

    Should we say that Tang family members who have learned excellent eye techniques are easily caught in deception because they can clearly see hand movements that make it look as if dice are inserted, even though they have not actually seen the dice.

    “At the time when Brother Ho’s technique spread, the technique of beguiling the opponent through hand gestures at the moment of passing through a blind spot like this worked best, but most of the immediate descendants of the current Tang family have adapted to this technique.”

    “….um.”

    Dokui, who had just been happily fooled by that technique, let out a groan.

    “That’s why this technology is popular these days.”

    Tang Do-gyeong performed the same technique as before, but this time, the moment he entered the square, the flow was cut off.

    “You are a mismatch.”

    “That’s right.”

    As the conversation progresses, Dang Do-gyeong’s hand moves slowly. The elderly man in the dock, who had been distracted by our conversation for a moment, was taken aback.

    “But this… somehow feels similar to Danggaju’s technique.”

    “Haha, indeed, Brother Ho. That’s right.”

    Dang Do-gyeong smiled and admitted.

    “The current head of the family is recognized as the best gambler in this family, so he is bound to have that influence.”

    Since the Lord of the Tang Family is currently the best gambler in the Family Family, it seems that there are many people copying and using his techniques.

    Dangaju’s specialty skill is that he can control the opponent’s concentration by controlling his speed and speed. Does this mean that they are using a stopping strategy of stopping breathing with a deteriorating plate since ordinary direct lineages cannot show such exquisite control skills?

    “Nowadays, it is difficult to deceive the opponent in a blind spot just by using dexterity, so breaking the flow and exploiting the opponent’s loophole to break through to either the left or right can be said to be the trend in party gambling these days.”

    “I see.”

    “Hmm. Can I ask you one question?”

    A question from the old man.

    “Yes, you say so.”

    “My goal is always Gwangryeol. But wouldn’t it be more efficient for Gwangryeol to analyze that guy rather than analyzing the trends of the entire party?”

    “Of course, what the old man said makes sense.”

    The old man’s question was valid. but…

    “This is the same in any field, but for those who have reached a certain level, their shortcomings are not easily revealed.”

    “Hmm…!”

    “Weaknesses that anyone can easily identify are something we tend to make up for ourselves. So, you can only truly find loopholes by digging into weaknesses that you don’t even know about. To do so, careful analysis is essential.”

    The old man in the dock had an expression that he did not fully understand yet. Well, I see. It seems like you haven’t really realized how wide the world of gambling is yet.

    “To help seniors understand, today I will explain the theory of gambling with a simple demonstration.”

    “Brother Ho, do you mind if I listen to it too?”

    “Of course.”

    And so the gambling theory lecture began with two students.

    *** ***

    “Who is the old man?”

    “It is said that he is learning gambling from Mr. Ho.”

    “I see.”

    Grand Master Feng Ying asked cautiously.

    “That head of the family.”

    “Something?”

    “No matter what, Dok-ui’s forehead… hmm. I guess what you attacked was a bit different.”

    “Hehehe. That’s right.”

    Dang Gwang-ryeol acknowledged Pung Yeong-daeju’s point.

    “But if I hadn’t done that, where would the person with wanderlust have been attached to the party?”

    “Hmm…”

    “I’ll be honest with you since you’re mine, but it’s quite a pain in the ass for the head of the family to accept that guy in a position where you don’t know whether he’s a disciple or a maid.”

    Great Lord Feng Ying thought of Mak-i and nodded.

    A bandit of unknown origin. It was very important in the Tang family to inherit the medicine and magic of poison from the wife of the Tang Dynasty. However, it was a serious problem that Dok-ui, who had spent his entire life wandering around the outside world and never teaching his party members the art of poisoning or medicine, suddenly accepted outsiders.

    “It is said that when your body is distant, your mind also becomes distant. Since you move around so much, it seems that you feel more affectionate toward people outside your party than toward those in your own family. But how could I, as the head of the family, just watch that happen?”

    “…is that so.”

    Dang Gwang-ryeol was the head of the Sichuan Dang family and the representative of Dang Gata. Dang Gwang-ryeol had no choice but to think about the interests of the entire Sacheon Dang family, and Dok’s wife had a tendency to prioritize individual research and freedom over the family.

    As a result, the two inevitably had frequent conflicts with each other.

    “If you take this opportunity to stick your butt to Dangata and live for a few months, you will become attached to the people of Dangga, and then the elders will also change their minds.”

    “So, are you saying that you will continue to make fun of the old man for a while?”

    Tang Guang-ryeol just smiled and Feng Yong-daeju shook his head. Isn’t this the head of the family’s desperate attempt to keep the old man in the family? You really don’t want to repay what happened to you when you were young, right?

    “By the way, Teacher Ho is here. Are you okay?”

    Dang Gwang-ryeol stroked his chin and thought. Dang Do-yeon, who was anxious about not being able to drive the Bicheon carriage all winter, couldn’t help but agree to the Bicheon carriage’s operation in Sacheon, but I never thought he would actually bring Hocheon-an.

    This was definitely beyond Dang Gwang-ryeol’s expectations.

    “I didn’t know if Doyeon would really bring Teacher Ho, but…well, this isn’t a bad situation. No matter how good Mr. Ho is, he won’t be able to improve the skills of an old man overnight.”

    Dang Gwang-ryeol continued speaking with a cheerful smile.

    “Isn’t it fun?”

    “…Yes?”

    “If Mr. Ho teaches Dok’s senior, I wonder how far his skills will improve.”

    Lord Feng Ying sighed inwardly.

    ‘You’re on fire.’

    Aside from his gambling skills, Dang Gwang-ryeol had the social status of the head of a party family. When you become the head of a family, there must be a justification for every action.

    Even if you have the skills to hit the nail on the head by showing off your gambling skills to feel relieved, it is not easy to make a big deal if you do not have a cause.

    After winning the match with Dang Do-gyeong and experiencing the pleasure of winning the night by excitingly displaying his gambling skills under the pretext of returning the memorization of his direct lineages, Dang Gwang-ryeol was in a state of frustration.

    However, in such a situation, if you were higher than the head of the family in terms of status, your wife, who was not below you, appeared.

    A partner who can demonstrate their skills to their heart’s content without considering the status gap.

    In addition, she is Poison’s wife who even has a justification for hitting Takbam.

    “I am very curious to see how far Mr. Ho can train the elderly.”

    Dang Gwang-ryeol was truly excited.

    Will the old man in the poison be an opponent who can hit the thrilling Takbam, not the boring Takbam?

    Dang Gwang-ryeol smiled while wriggling his fingers.
