Okgye.

It is two days away by regular carriage from Kunming, where the Dragon Gate is located. I became the head of the calligraphy and painting faction and arrived at Okgye with nineteen leading people.

“It is very noticeable that there are as many as 20 warriors walking around in a group. Divide into 4 groups of 5 people each. Among the guest rooms along the main street, please stay in a room that does not overlap with other groups.”

“Yes, yep!”

The frozen recruits responded with their military spirit raised. I don’t know why, but the new recruits were very afraid of me.

We weren’t particularly close, but we ate together, so I don’t know why he was so scared. The only thing these guys experienced about me was watching them compete with Changwoong.

It’s true that they got a little excited at the time, but they didn’t swing their swords at themselves, so it was just a sight to see.

These guys are also top-notch experts in their own right. He must have endured the harsh winds and waves of Sapa and made it to the top class, but at best he would have been frightened by the sight of Bimu.

I decided to be satisfied with being a good listener for now since I would have the opportunity to get to know the new members later.

After distributing them into groups and spreading them out, I led Ureung’s colleagues and entered the Jade Realm.

“…Captain, is this an unusual air condition?”

“I guess so.”

Even if you look at it, the proportion of people who are armed is strange.

Wherever you go, you can easily encounter warriors wearing military flags.

The faces of the merchants carrying out their business are filled with sorrow, and there are also merchants who do business by nailing down broken stalls.

“Have you ever been to Okgye?”

“Yes, it’s not far from Kunming, so I’ve visited there even though it’s not often… The number of street vendors seems to have decreased significantly…”

In any case, it was true that the air in this prison was definitely unstable.

“Me, brother. Where do you want to start?”

“Oh, brother, of course you would start with the gambling house. Just by rolling the dice, you would be able to conquer the entire gambling hall of this prison.”

It seemed like the newbies wanted to eat it raw.

I’m just going to watch from behind while I gamble hard.

As soon as I glared at them, the blue-faced newcomers kept lowering their heads.

Aren’t you guys too scared?

Anyone who sees me will think I’m a crazy person who enjoys finding fault and criticizing people.

Well, since gambling houses and bases are usually the main source of income for clans, it can be said that pulling out the roots of gambling houses or bases is a blow to the dependent faction… but destroying the finances of the dependent faction really means tearing out the roots of the pillars of the dependent faction. It’s like pulling it out.

Above all, it is an act of suicide.

Even if you robbed Seongrakru of 100 nyang of gold, there were swarms of assassins. If you did something like that in Sapa’s territory, you would be dead.

“Hmm.”

Slowly, it started to smell.

I walked through the prison without caring whether the newcomers’ complexions were pale or bluish. There may be only one faction in Okgye, but no matter where you go in Okgye, there are almost no people who appear to be native Okgye warriors.

It looks like we were attacked by other forces dispatched one step ahead of us.

As I was walking around the streets, the protractor in my head began to spin round and round.

This body Hocheonan.

What is the action you have invested the most time into since falling into this world of martial arts?

Martial arts training?

I literally risked my life to learn it for several years, but after being overcome by a wall of mixed blood, I gave up on it for a long time.

Gambling practice?

I did work hard. Since I had reached the level of greatness, of course I worked hard, but there was a flaw in saying that I invested the most time.

What should I hide?

This body Hocheonan.

What I have invested the most time in while living my life as a Hocheonan is…directing.

Overwhelming request success rate!

No. 1 in customer satisfaction!

Broker preference is top priority!

The secret to being able to become a ronin preferred by brokers in the Sichuan ronin industry with only second-rate skills was because I possessed extraordinary directing skills.

The sense of a director that resides within me shouted, holding up the goniometer.

This is called ‘gak’.

“It looks like the strategy has been decided.”

The new recruits looked at me with puzzled expressions.

I also looked at those newbies.

These guys were rookie actors. If you ask him to act, he’ll probably be as good as Kang Joon, who acted arrogantly and recklessly at Gyeongsu Market.

However, even these guys can perform method acting in this ‘role’.

Most of the newcomers to the painting and calligraphy school were just people from the back alleys.

What’s the big deal about method acting?

If you direct what you normally do, that’s method acting.

There were 19 miscellaneous actors, or rather actors, given to director Ho Cheon-an.

This was something that could not fail.

“Um.”

It’s been a while since I published a martial arts magazine. As I leaned against the wall of the alley and looked out onto the main street with my martial arts book spread out in one hand, I felt like I was back in Sichuan.

Without realizing it, I moved my hand and touched the air.

…It was to block the sunlight by pressing down on black lips that weren’t there.

When I saw my hands that had been in vain, I felt embarrassed and shook the dust off my butt.

It’s a Sacheon nangin.

It was a word that should disappear now.

If I stop Jeong Cheol and defeat Jeong Cheol, I will become the representative of the Sichuan People and announce the official dissolution of the Sichuan People.

The meaning of the word Sacheon Nangin will disappear, and only martial artists who use the nickname Sacheon Nangin Sooho in their personal radio will remain and live by proving their skills with the colors of their cards.

Yoo Yu-yeon’s Rongin Gaekjan will also be renamed to something more appropriate.

While I was thinking about this, I heard a familiar voice.

“Hahahahaha!!”

“Brother too! Wahahahaha!!”

It seemed that the new recruits had arrived as planned.

Newcomers of the painting and calligraphy school were gradually approaching, carrying weapons, casting menacing eyes, and swinging their arms and legs widely as if they were not going to be rough.

I also pretended to be reading a martial arts magazine and looked around.

“Cheap, cheap! Huge discount! Discount again! Buy 10 items and get one as a bonus! basket! Huge discount!”

That guy is really bad at business. Who could carry ten such heavy baskets? It would be better to give a 10% discount on the basket.

A man like that needs to be kicked out of the business.

“Paradise land! A jar made from dirt dug up from the shrine where Buddhist disciples stayed! Just buying this jar will make you feel like a fireball! Guaranteed afterlife!”

He is a young man who does not know how scary the world is to sell Buddha and make a business. And then you get punished. scourge.

I tried to identify the risk factors, but the situation was such that it was a green light that only merchants like that could step on.

I returned the martial arts paper to my arms. A signal to the group of actors number 2. Immediately, a group of actors number 2 appeared from the alley.

The first group walked along the main street while standing in a straight line. And the second group that was passing by in silence got closer.

puck!

“What!”

“What! These bastards!”

A shoulder contact accident occurred between the two groups. The newcomer who hit his shoulder hung his arms down and let out a wailing sound.

“Oh my! oh my! my arm! my arm! My arm fell off!”

Wow, this is method acting. The acting of a newcomer who made a living as a self-harm blackmailer before applying to the Dark Dragon Sect was truly like a fish out of water.

“This guy! I can’t believe I made my brother’s arm like this!”

“Apologize right away!”

Passers-by nearby stopped and distanced themselves from the scary situation. The merchants hid behind their stalls and stuck out their heads with anxious eyes.

A dire situation that is imminent!

“They are funny guys.”

“Tsk! older brother! Isn’t it because you’re so strong? I knew that your level was high, but it looks like those bastards will be shattered just by coming in contact with you!”

In that situation, the group of actors number 2 calmly laughed at the group of actors number 1.

“These guys! If you didn’t dare hurt my brother, how dare you insult my brother?”

“I’ve heard rumors that the level of Okgye is low, but I never thought they’d be running around with such miscreants…tsk!”

“The liver is sticking out of the ship, blocking the path ahead of our great dark faction!”

On one side is a gang of self-harming blackmailers. On one side, there is a group of self-proclaimed magnates who add a capital letter to names that have never been heard of before.

A clash between two groups that can truly be said to be the worst of all!

“Guys! Strike!”

“Show the power of the Great Dark Wave!”

Immediately the two groups began to tangle.

The fight between the two groups is truly a battle! Even though he was wearing a weapon, he clenched his two fists and started throwing punches at the opponent without notice, throwing away nearby objects!

Wow!!

Ujijik!

“Oh my, oh my!”

The actors actively threw pots and overturned basket stalls, destroying items. The faces of the young man who made false and exaggerated sales and the man who had no talent for business turned an earthy tone.

While the surrounding merchants were watching the fight, they looked pitiful at the sight of the two men who had been robbed. The jars are literally being smashed! And the baskets scattered on the floor are being damaged in real time by being stepped on by the actors’ feet or by the actors rolling over them!

There was another emotion revealed in their expressions.

It was a feeling of relief.

I’m so glad that such a scam was avoided by just one shot!

But it was too early for them to be reassured.

“Huh? Huh?”

Wootangtangdang!

Wow!!

The two fighting groups naturally moved from place to place. The face of the fruit vendor nearby became thoughtful. The fruit vendor tried to steal the fruit somehow.

“Chahahahap! Seungryongtoe!”

“Ugh! It’s so powerful!”

Wow!!

A person flew into the fruit stand! The fruit stand was shattered, and fruit and juice were flying everywhere.

“This guy! This guy!”

The actor, who was instantly moistened, threw the fruit to block Seungryongtui’s further attacks.

The group of actors has moved again!

“Oh, no!”

This time, a dry goods store! Fabrics from the dry goods store flew through the air and wrapped around the actors’ bodies, and the actors even wiped their faces with squishy fruit water!

Wow!

Every time farm implements were scattered from the farm equipment store and broken by actors fighting with farm implements instead of their own weapons, the furry blacksmith looked depressed.

Uddangtangtang!

Kwadangtangtang!!

The actors continue their destruction by sweeping away stores along the main street!

“Great Dark Gate secret! Dark Wave Fist!”

“Sprinkle dirt!”

“Oh my! Oh my!”

“How can I do this!”

I was among the passersby watching their destruction…

Faaah!

Without anyone knowing, gold or silver coins were being thrown at the damaged stores. It wasn’t that difficult to avoid people’s gaze and secretly throw money into the owners whose souls had run away from home.

After the current scandal passes, what feelings will the store owners and those who have witnessed the current situation have towards the Sokryeong faction?

If a seemingly decent person shows up and threatens you with a knife to extort money, you can at least rationalize that he did it because his life was in danger.

How angry must they be that their store was ruined by those self-inflicted blackmailers and self-proclaimed underworld gangsters?

Today’s actors are miscellaneous whose identities cannot be identified. In the end, the merchants’ anger had no choice but to be directed at the dependent faction.

Secretly paying damage compensation to merchants was also part of an action to inflame anger toward the dependent faction.

The Sokryeong faction is the Sapa.

It was natural for merchants in their area to be squeezed, and even for stores on the main street, there was a high possibility that they would not be in a very comfortable situation. But all the items were smashed? Life is bound to become difficult right away.

Usually, when pushed into a corner, it is easy to think that they will bite the other person because of evil, but there are only a few people who can throw themselves away like that and take revenge on the other person.

How could he afford to criticize the Sokryeong faction when he was about to die? I have to move desperately to find a way to survive, but can I just swear at men in peace?

That is why subsidies are paid in this way.

So that you can swear at the Sokryeong faction without worrying about making a living!

“Stop!”

As the actors destroyed dozens of stores, someone’s loud voice rang out. The merchants, whose complexions had turned blue as they watched the typhoon coming that wiped out everything in the store, looked toward him as if they were looking at a savior.

But their expressions immediately distorted.

This was because the gangsters shouted with bright expressions as they looked at the five warriors who appeared with loud voices.

“Brother!”

“How dare you attack my brothers! Guys! Damn it!”

“Heavy Overload Amulet! It’s a strategic withdrawal!”

“The great dark faction will not be defeated! It just disappears!”

“Chase!”

The underworld actors fled into the alley, and the self-harm blackmail group and its older brothers chased them and disappeared into the alley.

What a clean exit.

A few newcomers who know the geography of this place will wander around the alleys and disperse at appropriate places.

I smiled in satisfaction.

Not only was the newbies’ method acting excellent, but considering that it was their first performance, there was a possibility that there would be an accident or a dissonance, but it was absolutely flawless.

Comfort as if you were a fish in water!

When I get back, I’ll have to praise the new recruits.

With that in mind, I sneaked in through the back door of the last damaged herb shop.

“Oh my! Oh my!”

“You bastards!”

I escaped after hiding the eunja under a cushion to avoid the eyes of the elderly man who was hitting the ground and crying loudly in front of the pharmacy.

“After.”

Since compensation was paid to all stores, I also left.

Well, it’s perfect.

As I was leaving the alley, feeling satisfied with the play unfolding without any errors.

Jeez.

I felt someone’s presence.

Small footsteps that I would not have heard if my hearing had not been naturally strengthened as Bodhi Lotus Dam took away the waste products from my body.

Even though I heard footsteps, I didn’t feel anything.

master.

An expert who was at least one number better than me was chasing me without any trace.
