Episode 808
A tiger that does not live in a den (2)
“…Hoo?”
Yang Chen chuckled.
“You said that?”
White Paper’s face was very hard.
“Shouldn’t we stop it quickly?”
“Stop it? why?”
“yes?”
“As the small owner of the dark island, you said you wanted to discipline yourself, so why are you stopping me from doing so? “You should leave it alone.”
“My lord! “If we are not careful, there may be organizations that have animosity towards the headquarters!”
“Isn’t it there now?”
“…?!”
“Do you think such an organization does not exist now? It’s overflowing. They just united as one because they didn’t want to succumb to my fame and power and die. “I guess at least half of them are from the Black Island clan, right?”
“but…!”
“I intended to lead them moderately. It has to be that way. “I saw a lot of bloodshed in the process of unification.”
“Sobuju is not like that. “As he was not a member of our dark island to begin with, many forces may turn their backs on him due to this incident!”
“That won’t be possible.”
“…yes?”
“You know it when you see it. We’ve talked so much about the leaders of the Black Island clan that we’re sick of it. So, let’s get a taste of what he thinks the unified black path is like.”
Yang Chen smiled coldly.
“I thought we would start slowly, but the stupid bandits have already rang the starting bell.”

‘As expected, it’s the same.’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.
The warriors belonging to the Mukryongbu were watching themselves, making a fuss.
‘It’s the same as then. ‘This tendency of theirs never changes.’
A time when people wanted to create Heukje Castle and change Heukdo itself.
They were the same back then.
Except for the powerful combat unit members, including the head of the organization, rank-and-file soldiers never take the first step in any situation.
Is the Murim League similar? Of course, there are people like that, but the majority have different eyes and mentality.
This was because being a member of the Murim Alliance itself provided strong motivation. The Murim League is a symbol of the martial arts faction, and becoming a warrior there is considered a great honor for the Murim people.
From Yeonhojeong’s perspective, she never thought of it as such an honor, but what was important was her strong pride as a member of the group.
Of course, sometimes that pride becomes excessive and unfortunate events occur. However, that was just a mistake made by idiots who could not distinguish between pride and arrogance. Feeling proud of one’s group was clearly an important virtue.
Black people have nothing like that.
They gather around a strong person and quickly disperse when the strong person is attacked.
That was the Black Island people’s way of survival. It is sometimes servile and sometimes shameful, but it is better to survive even if you have to roll in the mud than to die honorably.
If it was wise, it was a wise attitude. However, it was a completely different matter to disperse and then come back together with a sense of belonging, and to run away with only oneself in mind.
‘If you had a proud sense of belonging to a group called the Mukryongbu, there would definitely be someone who came forward first.’
Even if no one came forward, the atmosphere would be different.
However, they were all watching this situation with curious and fearful eyes, as if it was none of their business.
‘This is the beginning of the process of becoming one.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s smile became cruel.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
It was almost a mutter, but the restaurant was so quiet that everyone heard him.
Mukbi said.
“Sir, if you’re doing this because of me…”
“Didn’t you hear? This isn’t about you. Rather, you are a victim. “You, my person, suffered harm because of that stupid bandit leader.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slightly lowered his head.
“sorry.”
“…?!”
Mukbi was slightly surprised to see Yeonhojeong bowing his head. I have received this kind of apology from Yeon Ho-jeong a few times, but we were not in a relationship where we had to bow our heads over something like this.
‘…?’
Mukbi glanced around.
‘ah.’
The warriors of the Mukryongbu, as well as Jo Pildo’s guards, were looking at Yeonhojeong with astonished faces.
Mukbi turned his gaze to Kang Ryang.
Kangryang smiled slightly as if things were going well and nodded.
Mukbi cleared his throat.
“Has this happened once or twice? Don’t bow your head that much. “I feel burdened now.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong raised his head and looked at Jo Pil-do with his arms crossed.
Jo Pil-do was shaking. The pain was severe, but I couldn’t even moan due to the growing fear.
That wasn’t all. Yeonhojeong’s momentum was slowly encroaching on the entire restaurant. No one in this area could move or open their mouth.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sank.
After a while.
Phew!
A fierce force quickly approached the restaurant, which was completely dominated by a fierce pressure.

And the one who finally appears.
Although he was over fifty years old, he was as tall as Yeon Ho-jeong and was actually bigger than Yeon Ho-jeong.
In addition, his entire body was solidly muscular. However, I could tell at a glance that he had an ideal body that did not look dull.
A man whose grizzled head, menacing eyes, and a hammer hanging from his belt go together surprisingly well.
It was the appearance of Jo Dong-guk, the King of Green Forest of the time, Homa.
“…!!”
Jo Dong-guk’s expression was as cold as ice, as if he had already heard the story.
“You came.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s calm voice added weight to this tense situation.
Jo Dong-guk looked around.
Mukbi and Gangryang, the guards of the son of the Mukryongbu warriors, finally turn their gaze towards Jo Pildo.
Jo Dong-guk’s eyes twitched.
‘Damn it.’
He couldn’t believe the current situation.
‘I told you that if you have one more accident, I’ll rip out your limbs and feed you to dogs, but you cause such a major accident?!’
Jo Dong-guk was always busy.
The bandit king did not just accept what his subordinates gave him.
Rather, he was even busier because he was the king of bandits. There were so many people trying to come up from below that it was hard to count them, and there were many times more people trying to steal the intermediate tax payment.
It takes a huge amount of mental energy to deal with and manage such guys one by one. Moreover, in order to press down with force, one must not miss training even for a single day.
After all that schedule, there is less than an hour of personal time left other than sleep time.
That was the life I lived. Although I was aware of my second son’s overreaching behavior, there were only a handful of times when I personally called him out and admonished him. Because I was too busy.
Still, I gave him warnings and tried my hand at him, but as expected, my son didn’t change.
And honestly, I didn’t think that my son’s behavior was a very serious problem.
They are bandits. A child of a general lender should have a certain dignity, but blowing one’s head off with something like this is ridiculous.
However, I was scolded a couple of months ago telling me to be careful because the world is changing. For a while, he shouted that if he did something like that again, he would kill me.
However, he could not stand it any longer and had an accident. Even inside the Mukryongbu!
“Sobuju.”
Jo Dong-guk took a few steps forward and took the lead.
“I didn’t manage my son properly. “Still, I didn’t know that such a major accident would happen, but I don’t know what to do.”
“exactly?”
“I apologize like this. “I have no shame because of this son of a b*tch.”
“Apologies are not important.”
“…?”
“What matters is whether or not it can be overlooked with an apology. Isn’t that right?”
Jo Dong-guk’s face became even more stiff.
“What do you mean?”
“No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think the self-control of a person who is a major creditor would go on a rampage without knowing what’s going on in the world.”
“…?”
“Of course, there are a lot of idiots like that in the world. “This is not a world where people run rampant, reckless, reckless people who walk around as if they are the crown prince, and who have no brains to submit to a stronger power.”
“…What do you mean by saying that?”
“Can we even call it intention? “If you think about it a little, you will find the answer.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.
“If you are the child of a general lender who rules over tens of thousands of Green Forest Islands, no matter how spoiled you may have been, you will probably have the brains to judge whether or not you are a person you can mess with. “But this guy messed with my friend and even dared to call my position as the owner of a small estate carelessly.”
“Sobuju, that’s….”
“Do you really think this guy is such a mess? Probably not. “There is no way the Bandit King, who is said to have accomplished one of the greatest feats in history, would have taught his children like that.”
“…!”
“Isn’t that right?”
Jo Dong-guk’s eyes wavered.
Here, if you say, ‘Just like Sobuju said, you are a man like Mangjong,’ you will completely lose face. This is because even one son becomes an idiot who cannot control himself.
But that’s not to say it’s not true. If that happens, there will be rumors that the son had some intention and insulted Sobuju.
The rumor itself is irrelevant. The problem was that sparks could fly to oneself as well.
Jo Dong-guk bowed his head.
“I would like to apologize to Sobuju. I heard that something happened to that guy recently. “He’s not the kind of guy who makes mistakes like this, but he seemed very disturbed.”
“Oh, you mean things aren’t the same as usual?”
“Otherwise, how could you be so rude to Sobuju? “Please forgive my son, even if it means looking at my face.”
It is very rare for the owner of Green Forest to bow his head and apologize like this.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
‘Someone like a snake.’
I avoided saying that my son was an idiot and that he had no intention of doing anything to me.
It was never easy to keep one’s head in check under such pressure. Although he is a martial artist, he knows how to bow clearly when he bows, and his impassioned face must have played a decisive role in Jo Dong-guk’s ability to become the head lender.
“I understand how you became the bandit king. “You truly behave like a green forest king who has taken control of tens of thousands of green forests.”
Jo Dong-guk bowed his head even further.
“It’s just embarrassing.”
I am confident even in the face of words like “conduct.” That was Jo Dong-guk.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded and said.
“Still, I can’t forgive your son.”
“…Sobuju.”
“Not only was this guy rude to me, he even harassed my friend.”
“As I said…”
“Conclusively!”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around and said.
“This idiot ruined mealtime, the only happiness of warriors who are always busy with training and work.”
“…!”
“More than 300 people have suffered damage because of this one guy. Furthermore, just by hearing my name, I can see that you do not acknowledge me. There is no respect for warriors and no recognition for Sobuju of the Mukryongbu. “This can be interpreted as a challenge to the authority of the Mukryongbu.”
Jo Dong-guk’s face turned slightly pale.
There was intense majesty in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
“Is there any reason why I should keep this guy alive?”
“….”
“Are you sure you feel the same way as your son?”
“Sobuju.”
“I heard that your eldest son has great talent. Are you feeling resentful because you couldn’t push your eldest son into the position of successor to the Mukryongbu?”
Chaaaaaa!
Jo Dong-guk pulled out his sword.
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“What do you mean?”
“Sobuju.”
“Please speak.”
“Can’t you really forgive your son for being rude to Sobuju?”
“I said everything I had to say.”
“then.”
In Jo Dong-guk’s eyes, he was young.
“Allow me to cut it.”
