Episode 96. Before my eyes was a powerhouse.
Salsu looked at the dagger stuck on the table.
‘How on earth… … .’
Before I could think of anything to say, the assassination target opened his mouth.
“Is it the Supreme Prosecutors’ Association or the Ilwido River? Don’t say neither. Don’t even talk nonsense. “I knew it from the moment I looked at it from the building.”
“… … .”
Salsu suddenly saw various images of Lee Ja-ha.
The way he stretched out, the way he looked at a dumpling in his mouth, the way he looked at me while talking to Jeomsoy, and even the look on his face when he looked at himself after letting Jeomsoy in first… … .
I thought it was all Lee Ja-ha’s everyday appearance.
That wasn’t it.
Coincidentally, the attitude of salsu that Ilwidogang considers most important is the naturalness that blends into daily life.
It’s only after seeing the dagger sticking into the table that a person named Sal-su realizes Lee Ja-ha’s calculated actions? In other words, even according to the standards learned in Ilwido River, there was an opponent in front of him of a much higher level than himself.
Salsu asked me something I was curious about without realizing it.
“Was Hao Wen part of the assassination group?”
These words flowed out of the mouth of the young guy.
“You can’t look at the world with such a narrow perspective.”
* * *
As I was looking at the assassin I was about to kill, I thought it was annoying. It doesn’t bother me to kill this guy. But it was a bit annoying to know that this wasn’t the end.
I have to get rid of the Gangnam Association or root out the Ilwido River so that a guy like this won’t come to me again.
Salsu questioned.
“Narrow vision?”
“If a young man speaks rudely to the owner of a dumpling restaurant, it is normal for him to turn around. When a grown man appears with a dumpling in his mouth, it is normal to look at him pitifully. It’s normal for people to look back at least once when someone sings a strange song. We come to the conclusion that a guy who doesn’t react at all to these three things is not an ordinary guy. It’s proof that you trained. “I see trained guys better.”
Only then did Salsu’s face change.
“I didn’t recognize you because I was a living person. In the first place, I think and see differently from you. “Do you understand what I mean?”
I laughed while checking Salsu’s expression.
“Killing you isn’t bothersome, but what happens after that is bothersome. Even if you kill, kill, kill again, the boss rarely appears. But I’ll endure it. “It is also the responsibility of the leader to bear the burden of being killed.”
I drank Dugang wine and looked at the waters of the Ilwido River.
If the conversation goes well, I plan to kill him after the conversation is over.
If conversation doesn’t work, I plan to kill him right away.
However, when I saw the assassin who came to kill me after a long time, various words came to my mind.
“In the old days, the words assassin or assassin were not much different from thief. Like Jingga (荊軻) who tried to kill the First Emperor. “I got recognition.”
“Is that so?”
“But since you are killing random people for money, the world has changed a lot. The thief and the assassin became distant as if they were standing on opposite sides of the world. There was a time when a assassin was a charlatan. Nowadays, it is a world where assassins kill assassins, and assassins kill assassins. what do you think about it?”
“… … .”
“Are you out of your mind? Haomun is not an assassination group. However, as the owner of the place, what I do will be the same as when charlatan and assassin were synonymous. Therefore, to some extent, I am a lifer like you.”
I pretended to hit his neck with the blade of my hand.
“I’m good at killing too. It was the same industry. we are… … . So what I’m saying is, how about I kill the leader of Ilwido River? That’s perfect if you don’t want pitiful bastards like you to show up. “Don’t you have any thoughts?”
I took a sip of tofu wine.
Salsu was probably nervous and couldn’t drink.
It seems like my precious words are not reaching your ears.
I sighed because I felt like they were constantly assessing whether my guy was fast or my hands were fast.
Of course it’s because I’m faster.
“Look, usually assassins are orphans like you. If he is not an orphan, he kills everyone around him in advance and turns them into orphans. This is because when you have a family, your emotions become more diverse. It interferes with training. Sprinkler groups are usually like that. That’s why people like you lack the emotions to understand what I’m saying. “I’m a bit sorry about that.”
I pointed my finger at the sprayer.
“It is right for me to end your body. But you won’t die because of me, you’ll die because of the guy who created the Ilwido River. Understand that and die.”
“That is the life of a salsu.”
“A killer’s life is about following orders and dying?”
“yes.”
“No one has to live like that.”
“There’s already been a lot of blood, so who can I blame?”
“What a crappy life it is. What I want to know is the main base of the Ilwido River. If you can’t speak, draw your sword. “The walk is getting longer because of you.”
The sprinkler’s eyes came down and saw the flashing dagger stuck on the table.
“… .”
The moment those eyes moved back to me, I pulled out the black cat from under the table.
The Balgeomsik (拔劍式) interpreted in my own way.
Suddenly!
When the sword cut the table, it injected the wood world, and when the black cat that cut the table revealed its teeth, it wrapped around the flame world.
A solid red line was engraved on the body of the murderer who could not even get anything out, and the blood was engulfed in flames and burned with a crackling sound. Blood spurted out belatedly.
Phew!
Salsu, who stood up awkwardly with his legs strong, fell backwards with his upper body cut off at an angle.
Thong – Following the sound, the upper body split into two pieces.
I shook off the blood from the tip of the blade and then inserted the black cat.
Salsu’s expression was filled with suspicion rather than pain.
In times like these, it is mercy to kill someone without pain.
Rather than being angry at the dead guy, bad feelings toward Ilwidogang and the Paegumhoe quickly piled up like a tower.
When I was filled with anger like a river, Jeomsoi Jang-sam came running out and asked me with a surprised expression.
“Ark?”
“huh.”

“Was it possible to survive?”
“okay.”
I said as I saw Jang Sam approaching the body.
“Don’t touch it. There may be poison on your clothes or in your mouth. “A guy like this shouldn’t even touch a corpse.”
“yes.”
“I’ll send my men to clean it up right away, so leave it like this for a while. “Take this.”
I handed the eunja to Jang Sam.
“Drink money, table price.”
“Why are you giving me so much?”
“I gave it to you in advance. Similar things will happen often. “For the time being, I will deliberately go out for walks often.”
It would be more comfortable to walk around defenseless in broad daylight than to be attacked by a killer while sleeping.
“Oh, yes. thank you But how did you know? “I thought it was a little strange because he was just a stranger to me.”
I said to Jang-sam, who had a puzzled look on his face.
“Jang San-ah, can’t you tell just by looking at it?”
“I don’t know.”
I pointed to Salsu’s face with my chin.
“Just look at it and you’ll see it’s written on the face.”
“Where? It’s not written down? “He also has a narrow forehead.”
“You have to find out that before you can enter the Black Cat Room. An ugly bastard, a sloppy bastard, a useless bastard, a bastard who doesn’t even know the basics of Jeomsoy.”
“Are you suddenly criticizing me like this?”
“That is me.”
Jang-sam pulled out the dagger stuck on the fallen table and held it out to me.
“Ark, take your daggers. As you can see, he stuck the dagger on the table and then clumsyly cut it with a knife! Since you stuck a dagger on the table, this is a very sophisticated psychological game, right?”
“Is it just a habit?”
“yes.”
As I headed to the black cat room, Jang Sam asked me.
“Lord Ark, will I ask you a question when your servants arrive? “Can you recognize it just by looking at it?”
“If there is anyone who says they don’t know, let me know. He is an ugly guy who neglects training. “You should get scolded.”
“All right.”
* * *
Jeomsoi Jang-sam looked around at the warriors who came out of the black cat room with keen eyes and spoke to the man who seemed to be in charge.
“hey.”
“why?”
“Does this person look like a killer just by looking at him? “He looks ordinary.”
The person in charge who answered Jeomsoy’s question responded with a pitiful expression.
“Can’t you tell just by looking at it? I don’t know?”
“… … yes?”
“Can’t you tell just by looking at it? “Oh my, you pathetic bastard.”
“No, when did you see me? I’m pathetic… … .”
The man suddenly spoke with a straight face.
“Aren’t you Hao Mun?”
“Me?”
“You don’t accept repayment like before, do you?”
“yes.”
“Then it’s Hao Mun.”
“Oh, I understand.”
The man pointed at himself with his thumb.
“grow.”
“What?”
“I am Haomun’s commander-in-chief, Haomun’s second-in-command, our Master Moon, and the man who laid the foundation of Haomun from the beginning, Ilyang First Sword Cha Seong-tae.”
Jang Sam bowed his head without any sign of surprise.
“Oh my, nice to meet you. “The Commander-in-Chief is saying that just by looking at the Salsu’s face, you can tell whether it is a Salsu or not.”
Cha Seong-tae nodded and answered.
“That is me.”
Jang Sam thought to himself as he looked at Cha Seong-tae.
‘This fraudster is imitating the Ark… … ‘I just looked like an outcast in the neighborhood, so how did I become second in command?’
Seongtae Cha said.
“Why are you looking at me like that? “It’s a bold joke.”
“Oh, no. That’s me. This is Ark’s unique way of speaking, so please refrain from saying it. “It’s uncomfortable to hear.”
“This bastard… … .”
Cha Seong-tae was about to say something, but the brothers in the Black Cat Room burst into laughter, so he kept his mouth shut. Cha Seong-tae, who was anxious, looked at the body being put on a stretcher and spoke to the soldiers in the black grave room.
“Brothers, the corpse may be poisonous, so let’s go to a secluded place and burn it.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Cha Seong-tae then looked at Jang-sam again and said.
“what is your name?”
“Jangsam.”
“There is a high possibility that fellow assassins will come here and see how they died. “Let’s find out then.”
“What if I find out? Should I report it?”
“No, just find out. Don’t do anything dangerous. “You’ll recognize him because he has a similar vibe to the dead guy.”
“How do I find out?”
“Did you see the look in the dead guy’s eyes?”
“yes.”
“The assassins lack emotion, so their eyes feel sunken.”
“oh… … “I think so.”
“That guy is alive.”
Jang Sam nodded and looked at Cha Seong-tae with respect.
“As expected, you are the Commander-in-Chief. “Please come over for a drink sometime.”
Cha Seong-tae responded as he headed somewhere with the warriors of the Black Cat Room.
“It doesn’t work. “Where are you talking about business?”
Jang Sam looked at Cha Seong-tae’s back with his arms crossed.
‘That kid seems smart and stupid at the same time, but it’s fascinating. A bastard who imitates, a bastard who is acting out, a bastard who ignores Jeomsoy, an asshole… … .’
* * *
Jang-sam sat outside all day for the second day, crossing his arms and glaring at passers-by.
‘Can you survive? Not you. Can you survive? You have bright eyes. You can’t even just look at it. You live… … .’
Jang Sam inadvertently made eye contact with a man and felt heartbroken. All of my thoughts were torn apart and I suddenly couldn’t think of anything.
‘… … .’
I feel like I’m going to die if I look at it any longer.
‘It’s really life-saving.’
While Jang Sam was wiping the table with his head quickly lowered, the man who made eye contact approached him straight away.
“Let me ask you something.”
“Oh, yes. “Please speak.”
Jang Sam looked at the man with his hands clasped together politely. The man with a thin long sword at her waist asked while looking at the table and the ground.
“The person who died here yesterday.”
“yes.”
“Did he die with a single blow?”
“That’s right.”
As soon as Jang Sam made eye contact with the man, he lowered his head again.
I learned what it was like to feel ‘I look normal, but I’m scared.’
Although he recognized it just by looking at it, Jang Sam thought that he could die here.
“Where were you sitting?”
Jang Sam held out his hand.
“There, no. Yes, you were sitting there.”
The guy with the word “salsu” written on his forehead sat down at the newly placed table and spoke to Jang Sam in a tone that suppressed his anger.
“Bring me some of the drink the guy who died yesterday had.”
“yes.”
At this time, someone approached and whispered to the man who ordered a drink.
“Captain, you cannot do this.”
“Go away.”
As Jang-sam put down the Mureungju and dried snacks on the table, Salsu said while looking ahead.
“Jumsoy.”
“yes.”
“Don’t run away, stay calm. If you don’t want to die. “Sit down there.”
Jang-sam sat quietly in the seat that Sal-su indicated, and Sal-su was glaring at the walking path that Lee Ja-ha always walked.
Suddenly, as Jang-sam looked down the street, he realized that there were many people he had not normally seen in this neighborhood.
A man pulling a cart.
A young man selling rice cakes.
Bot luggage seller.
They were all unfamiliar faces, but they had something in common. The eyes were different. In addition, many unfamiliar men were walking up and down the streets.
Doubt and confidence are mixed together, to the point where we don’t even know who will survive.
As Jang-sam looked closely at the street, Sal-su, who was sitting at the table, turned his head and smiled creepyly.
“Hey, Jeomsoy.”
“yes.”
“Do you want to die right now?”
“sorry.”
“If you’re a Jeomso, act like a Jeomso. “Don’t show off your wits and get caught up in it and die.”
“All right.”
Jang Sam realized that what happened yesterday was nothing more than a preliminary battle. Even the dead guy didn’t know he was a victim. He was scary and very, very curious.
If you just raise your head, before your eyes is Gangho.
‘driving me crazy.’
In the meantime, the assassin who came to see us spoke to the front.
“Moonju, welcome.”
“Oh, did you wait long?”
“I just arrived.”
Jang Sam had no choice but to raise his head. Black Cat Ark, who often walks alone and often buys dumplings, sat across from the table without any fear.
“Jang San-ah, I am Du Gangju.”
“All right.”
After a while, Jang Sam put down the two gangju and listened to Lord Bang.
“I guess they brought some beggars with them today.”
“There was a lot of rudeness. I don’t have any information about you at all. “It should have been like this from the beginning.”
“I have more followers.”
“How can we prevent assassination with numbers? Even if I die, it will still be a bit of a bother for a while.”
“Jang San-ah, you go in.”
Jang Sam came to his senses after hearing Lord Ark’s words.
“Oh, yes.”
As Jang-sam went inside, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling and turned around to see the assassin grabbing his chopsticks and throwing them at him.
However, the chopsticks that were flying with a snapping sound suddenly changed direction in the air and fell into the ground.
Sigh!
Jang-sam watched in fascination and hit his butt without realizing it. Salsu tried to kill himself with chopsticks, but Ark extended his hand and twisted the direction of the chopsticks.
How did this happen?
At that moment, Lord Ark and the assassin exchanged tension.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Jang-sam looked at Ark and Sal-su, his chest heaving loudly. Salsu was pushed out, smashing three or four tables, and pulled out his sword… … .
Lord Bang was leisurely drinking Dugangju.
In Jang Sam’s eyes, the sight was truly impressive.
‘This is Gangho.’
