< Episode 57 Water Ghost (4) >
“How are you feeling? Do you think you now know the difference between cooperation and threats?”
Old Man Beom bit his lower lip as he heard Mo Kyung-un’s voice coming from behind him.
I never thought I would be repaid in this way.
I think I touched the wrong person.
‘These guys…’
The young guys were extremely vicious.
I never expected that he would take the young lady hostage in retaliation.
No, I had no time to anticipate this in the first place.
Old Man Pan glared at Nie Chun and Meng Wuyue with harsh eyes.
‘Are these young people not members of the political faction?’
Old Man Pan’s mind became complicated.
Although he was forced to do so because of the young lady’s anger, the martial sect members who valued consultation would not have gone to this extent.
That means,
‘Safain?’
Old Man Pan knew that, unlike the political faction members who valued face and honor, the Sa faction people valued practicality and profit and did not hesitate to do such things.
If that’s the case, it gets even more difficult.
Even though they have already apologized and provided compensation, coming out this way means that negotiation is not working.
-closely!
Old Man Pan gritted his teeth.
The situation is so unfavorable that I feel angry.
However, in times like these, you need to remain calm.
The girl who was taken hostage is also probably feeling scared as she is experiencing this for the first time, so if she doesn’t deal with it carefully, it could end up being the worst.
It was then.
“Ruthless bastards…”
I thought she was scared, but the woman in the cotton cloth opened her mouth with her cheeks trembling.
Old Man Beom clicked his tongue at her attitude.
I guess it’s definitely his girlfriend.
It’s amazing to see such words spoken even in situations where one’s life is threatened.
‘It’s not possible.’
Old Man Pan looked at the woman in the cotton cloth and shook his head.
This meant that the situation was dangerous so we should refrain from speaking.
No matter how much she was raised and said to be a bit naive, she was basically smart.
At least I thought I wouldn’t do anything foolish in this situation.
“Look.”
Old Man Beom spoke calmly to Mok Gyeong-un.
“yes.”
“It is clearly Nobu’s fault in this matter. However, no matter how well the martial arts group secures their blessings, isn’t it too much to mess with old people, children, and women? “Please let that person go and instead pour all your anger on Nobu.”
Old Man Beom humbled himself as much as possible and spoke as if pleading.
He was trying to get sympathy since the situation was already at its worst.
Of course, this courtship of sympathy was intended to form a sympathy-like public opinion not only among those who were threatening them, but also among those around them.
-Roaring!
Due to the old man’s intention, the people in the room started whispering and causing an uproar.
In fact, from their perspective, it only seemed like Nie Chun and Meng Muyak had suddenly barged in and attacked the women and guard warriors of the village temple.
“no. “What on earth are these authors?”
“Why are they doing that?”
They were whispering, but of course it was bound to be heard.
‘That’s not good.’
Nie Chun, the third guard of the Heaven and Earth Association main building, felt burdened by the attention of those around him.
I followed Mok Gyeong-un’s orders that suddenly rang in my ears, but there were too many people watching.
In this situation, no matter what the woman’s status, holding a knife to her throat and threatening her was not a good idea.
“My lord.”
In response, Nie Chun called Mo Gyeong-un and gave him a look.
He meant that since he seemed to have given enough warning to them, it would be okay to end it at this level.
After reading this, Old Man Pan spoke again in a hushed voice.
“Nobu is asking me this. “Please at least let me go.”
I thought that no matter how Safa people were, they were still human and could not just ignore appeals to sympathy.
At that time, Mok Kyung-un opened his mouth.
“Hmm. “There are two of them: an old man, a child, and a woman.”
“……No need to include Nobu.”
“yes. Of course it should be. “It would be shameless for a martial arts expert who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts to want to be treated like an old man.”
“I know what you mean. So, please, don’t look at that sword aimed at you…”
“But. “Who was the person who ordered such a great expert to use his strength to bring us back?”
“……”
Mok Gyeong-un’s words left Old Man Beom speechless.
“Isn’t it clear that it was said that it was because of the icon of that woman from the cotton temple outside?”
Old Man Beom said in confusion at these words.
“Hey, look. “When did Nobu say so?”

If he said it this way, wouldn’t it be like he was using the young lady as an excuse?
Old Man Beom, conscious of the woman’s anger, hastily made an excuse.
“You didn’t give such an order. “This is purely because Nobu is hurting you…”
“Don’t bother trying to fix it.”
“It’s not a fix…..”
-closely!
At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un grabbed Old Man Beom’s shoulder.
And press hard,
“Hmm.”
-thud!
Old Man Beom’s knees were forced down.
Although he had been training for a long time and possessed profound magic, there was no way he could be compared to a master who had reached the state of flowering.
-Wow!
Old Man Pan gritted his teeth.
Unlike before, it was extremely humiliating to be treated like this in front of so many people and so many people.
However, old man Beom had endured even greater humiliations ‘there’ for a long time.
Therefore, I was able to endure as much as I could to get out of this situation.
Old Man Beom calmly opened his mouth again.
“Look. Isn’t this enough? Please stop here…..”
“The decision about whether enough is enough or not is not made by the party who committed the crime.”
-Wow!
“Turn it off.”
The old man’s expression was distorted in pain as the hand grabbed his shoulder as if it would break it.
Then the woman in the cotton cloth shouted.
“ball!”
Old Man Pan was distressed at the sight, but shook his head with all his might.
It meant never to come forward.
however,
“stop! “Stop it!”
The woman from the village, unable to bear it any longer, shouted at Mo Gyeong-un.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“Now you’re finally opening your mouth.”
“Ruthless bastard. “Take your hands off the ball right now!”
“It’s my heart, except it’s out of my hands.”
“under!”
The woman in the cotton cloth was dumbfounded.
No one has ever insulted him like this.
But, at best, a guy with a smooth face who looks like a scoundrel ignores his own orders?
The woman in cotton trembled and opened her mouth.
“You are truly a man of extreme wantonness.”
“You are the one who was self-indulgent. “The person who issued this order by ordering a busy person to come should not say something like that.”
“you! dare!”
“Ahhh. “Of course I can’t say it in words.”
-Wow!
“Off.”
At that moment, an even louder scream came out of Old Man Beom’s mouth.
I gritted my teeth and endured it, but I could guess how painful it was just by looking at the way my face turned red and the blood appeared.
Even the shoulder where he was grabbed was stained with blood.
“stop! stop!”
“Do you want that?”
“okay. want! So stop now…”
“……If you want to let it go, there is a simple way.”
“The simple way?”
“yes.”
“What is that?”
“Get down on your knees and apologize. “If I do that, my hands might lose strength.”
“……..”
At those words, her entire body trembled with anger.
When I left ‘there’, there was old man Beom’s earnest advice, so I tried not to reveal my identity as much as possible, but now I couldn’t bear it.
She soon took off her cotton yarn.
Then the beautiful face hidden inside was revealed.
“Huh.”
“and…….”
Exclamations of admiration flowed from all over.
Not only did she have a beautiful face, but she also had a truly noble appearance.
Even Meng Wuyue, who was holding the blade to her neck, was inwardly surprised when he saw her face.
‘What on earth is this woman?’
Even more than his appearance, the elegance he exuded was extraordinary.
This was not something ordinary people could have.
Then, the woman with her face exposed opened her mouth, glaring fiercely at Mok Gyeong-un.
“Rude guy. “How dare you do something like this knowing who I am?”
‘what? ‘This woman?’
Hearing her words like this, Meng Wuyao frowned.
He had guessed that she was not an ordinary person, as she was accompanied by a great expert like Old Man Pan as her escort and was wearing very luxurious clothes.
However, even for such a woman, if she were to be in this situation, she would naturally be scared and tremble or give in, but her spirit was still alive.
Even looking at the way he spoke, it seemed like he was quite proud of his status.
That means,
‘Could it be that this woman… is related to the government or the imperial palace?’
Meng Wuyak swallowed dry saliva with a stiff face.
If this woman is really related to the crown or the imperial palace, it would be quite embarrassing.
Although the relationship between Gwan and Mulim has improved a lot in recent years, they still maintain an inviolable territory between them.
If his guess was correct, a really annoying situation could have arisen.
Moreover, this confidential mission was even more so because it was the opening of the imperial capital.
‘It might be better to end it here.’
however,
“Do I have a duty to know who they are?”
Rather, Mok Gyeong-un went one step further.
Naturally, Mo Qingyun’s provocation like this could not help but make her even angrier.
“under! “Is this what comes out like that?”
“You’re making things worse that will end in one knee.”
“You are the one who makes things worse. “I wonder if you can be so rude even after finding out who this woman is…”
“It would be a bad choice to say any more.”
Mok Kyung-un interrupted her words.
At this, she snorted and spoke in an arrogant voice.
“joy. There is no use regretting now. “I definitely want you…”
-Kwasik!
“Kwaaaaaaak!”
That was before the words were even finished.
With a terrible scream, the old man’s shoulder was twisted and the bone protruded through the flesh.
The woman who tried to reveal her identity at that terrible scene was momentarily horrified and at a loss for words.
Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said to her.
“Shall I tell you in advance what will happen next?”
“you you! dare!”
“I don’t know who you are. I’m not even interested. However, if I accidentally reveal my precious identity and a troublesome situation arises, I will have no choice but to make a choice.”
“An inevitable choice?”
“yes. “I’m going to make it like nothing happened.”
“what?”
“I guess you don’t understand. Do you know the term ‘killer leafhopper’?”
‘!?’
Killing and killing people.
It meant killing people to prevent words from leaking out.
At these words, her arrogant yet confident expression completely hardened.
But the tree cultivation did not stop there.
He looked at the people around him in the guest room with indifferent eyes and spoke casually.
“It’s such a pity. If that little guy opens his mouth, you won’t be able to get out alive. Well, it’s not my fault, so blame Soje.”
‘!!!!!!!!’
As soon as these words were finished, the atmosphere in the guesthouse became silent for an instant.
Although he spoke quietly as if it was no big deal, the feeling of intimidation was enough to drive everyone into extreme tension.
‘Hey, you guy!’
How can the situation be driven this way?
When she opened her mouth in bewilderment, all eyes in the room turned towards her.
She was taken aback by the stinging gaze filled with resentment and fear.
‘why?’
The real target of the threat is that man, but why is he looking at himself like that?
Her lips could not part from their gaze.
In the meantime, Mok Kyung-un’s face was seen in the shadow of her eyes.
His face was full of malice, with an eerie smile that reached up to his ears.
– Creepy!
Goosebumps appeared all over my body, starting from my spine.
The moment fear took over her whole body, her legs lost strength.
-thud!
