Exit without a sound (1)
The manor had a gloomy atmosphere.
If hundreds of people had been waiting with their arms clenched, the opponent would have seemed more formidable.
However, although Ma Jeong-soo had contacted them in advance that they were visiting, their preparations were no different from usual. This is the part where you can see that they are definitely not ordinary guys. Well, if it weren’t for that, Shigon wouldn’t have suffered.
A man came out and led us into the main hall.
Yacheon was sitting in the center of the main hall, and about twenty men were lined up around him. They are probably the strongest among the night warriors here.
Their eyes were definitely different from those of ordinary warriors. The reason it looked scary was because you could feel that the venom and anger started from a certain contempt for Kang Ho-in.
Not only them, but also men were standing hiding at pillars on all sides. His eyes shined like a wild beast stalking its prey. I knew that each martial skill wasn’t that high, but it didn’t look easy.
I had already seen how they fought. Martial arts aren’t a big deal, but the problem was memorization. It’s also a poisonous memorization, so you have to be very careful.
Ma Jeong-su also seemed to sense an ambush and swallowed his saliva. He was nervous.
I walked confidently to a place about ten steps away from Yacheon and then introduced Ma Jeongsu.
“This is Ma Jeongsu Daehyeop, the successor to Cheondomun. “Please bow politely.”
Then Yacheon got up from his seat and bowed politely.
“Welcome, my name is Yacheon, the owner of these little things. “Why did you precious people come to this squalid place?”
Ma Jeong-soo gave his hand and briefly announced himself.
After that, I went out as I said in the carriage earlier.
“What would be the point of coming here?”
Yacheon was also very nervous, so there was a lot of tension.
I knew what he was worried about. He must be worried that he may have come here in connection with Sigon’s death.
I said with a smile.
“Ma Daehyeop came to borrow money from you.”
Yacheon was startled by those words. He never thought that Ma Jeong-soo would come to borrow money from him.
“Why are you so surprised? “Isn’t that what you mainly do?”
“Of course, I just can’t believe that someone so precious would want to borrow money from this lowly person.”
“Even noble people need money.”
Only then did Yacheon feel relieved. At least I didn’t come for revenge.
Yacheon asked with a slightly relaxed expression.
“How much do you need?”
“100,000 nyang.”
Yacheon’s expression, which had relaxed, hardened again. Although it was a huge amount of money, it would have been impossible to guess the other person’s intentions.
Was he here purely to borrow money, or was he offering to cover up the murder of Si-gon in exchange for 100,000 nyang?
I secretly sent a message to Yacheon.
-I killed a person at Cheondomun, so shouldn’t I have to pay this kind of price?
Yacheon stirred. It was a mixed reaction of surprise and anger.
I quickly heard the sound.
-Try your luck. Will he be able to get away safely even if he touches the successor of Cheondomun? Did we come here without any plan? If you lend me 100,000 nyang, I’ll pretend it never happened. Of course, you will pay interest and repay the money.
Yacheon sent a message.
-Why are you speaking in full voice?
-The moment we mention Sigon’s death, we have to get rid of you all. Things will go on that way even if we don’t want them to. You know, right? We are people who value our reputation more than our lives.
After sending the message in such a sharp tone, he spoke in a soft tone this time.
“You may have heard the news, but in the future, Ma Daehyup will be solidifying its foundation in Shandong. “I believe that this transaction will be a great help to your future.”
It was also a word containing a subtle threat. If a transaction does not take place, the opposite will happen.
“Give me some time to think.”
“Sure.”
Yacheon closed his eyes and was lost in thought.
In the first place, I thought that the people who reported Sigon’s whereabouts were those demonic beasts. He used himself by eliminating subordinates who were a thorn in his eyes. Borrow money and get rid of subordinates. From Yacheon’s perspective, there is no choice but to think like this.
It was.
‘You bastards!’
I felt that it was more dirty and shameful than them.
As things turned out like this, I had no choice but to lend money. He might not know if 100,000 nyang was his entire property, but he couldn’t risk his life otherwise. Once it was given, it was a situation where one had to seek revenge, either later or later.
Yacheon opened his eyes and said refreshingly.
“Okay, I’ll lend you the money.”
“until tomorrow!”
“Of course.”
“Thank you. I will never regret this decision today. “I’ll pay the full amount in a small amount, and see you tomorrow at the shrine in Pungsan.”
I signed a contract right away.
Ma Jeong-su personally stamped the seal and made the seal.
He was reluctant and asked if he had to sign a contract, but I persuaded him.
I think we need to do this at least. Rather, it is better to be accurate when dealing with people like that.
Although he was reluctant, Ma Jeongsu accepted. Because I needed 100,000 nyang right now.
This was a necessary process for later. When someone investigated this matter, there had to be evidence that money had been borrowed.
So we signed the contract and left the manor.
Anger erupted in the place we left. The first anger to burst out was Gucheol’s.
“You cheeky bastard! How dare you come here! “I could barely resist wanting to kill him right away.”
The men next to me all had similar expressions.
On the other hand, Yacheon was relaxed.
“You can kill what you kill later.”

After Gu-cheol killed Si-gon, Ya-cheon started looking into Ma Jeong-su in earnest.
Ma Jeong-su was vicious and cruel from a young age, and he was a person who killed his subordinates without a reason during a fight.
Yacheon was a villain in his own right, but there were more than one or two incidents that raised eyebrows. The victims were relatively weak. So most of the deaths were buried without being revealed.
“Are you really going to give 100,000 nyang to this dirty guy?”
Yacheon nodded.
“We have committed sins, so let’s wait and see.”
“But it’s too much money.”
“Don’t just think like that.”
Yacheon had other thoughts.
“If it is certain that he stole Shandong Chamber of Commerce’s money, then he must have a lot of money, right?”
“I guess so.”
“I guess I can pay enough interest for now.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
“Then you thought I was just giving it to you? Who are we? Even if it is not Cheondomun, but the cost of Cheondomun, you have to collect all the interest and principal. I will get it somehow. Plus, the price you pay for playing pranks on us.”
* * *
When the carriage with Ma Jeongsu and I left the manor, Ma Jeongsu laughed out loud.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. “You are truly amazing.”
“That is an overstatement.”
“No, it was great.”
He looked at me with new eyes. Maybe they didn’t know that I could handle things this well.
“Now I just have to find the money tomorrow. “What happens after that is left to Ma Daehyup to take care of.”
I said as if my role was complete. It was to make it seem like they were not interested in money at all.
“I’ll leave that to you.”
Ma Jeong-su still did not completely trust Ya-sang. He was worried that in the process of borrowing money, someone might set a trap and try to kill him.
Of course, I expected the magic essence to come out like this.
“All right. “If you wait outside, I will take the money and come out.”
Instead of saying I would go and find him alone, I told him to wait outside.
Ma Jeong-su became even happier when he told him what he wanted to hear.
“ha ha ha. good.”
He succeeded in deceiving Ma Jeongsu and Yacheon.
Things were going according to my plan.
In my past life, I have experienced all kinds of hardships.
There are experiences as a warrior dealing with Safa and Demonicism. He has fought against incredible experts. He has experienced all kinds of fights. He also has experience as a leader who overcame power struggles.
When these were combined, the Demon Essence and Yacheon could be rolled out of the Buddha’s palm. Moreover, I am the person who was called the leader of Iron Blood and the leader of punishment. I have lived without mercy towards the wicked. It’s like heaven’s punishment for me.
Of course, you should not let down your guard.
Because there was a woman whose identity I still don’t know.
Whether he can take that 100,000 nyang, kill Ma Jeongsu, and then pass the blame to Yasang depends on whether he can deceive the woman.
The point of this matter is not to steal and kill.
After that, how do I get out of this incident?
* * *
That night, I met a woman by the pond. She deliberately went out to meet her.
“I think we need to stop your master.”
The woman glanced back at me. She said to her, her expression asking what she meant.
“He threatened Yasang and extorted money from him.”
You probably know that we went on a field trip. I said with a worried face for no reason.
“I had no choice but to help… … As you know, Yasang are very terrible and scary people.”
It is necessary to let her know that the Demon Essence is dangerously entangled with them. Because Ma Jung-soo intends to dispose of it by removing it from the hands of her nocturnal man.
Leaking information like this was possible because the woman and Ma Jeong-su never had a conversation.
“He is not my master.”
It wasn’t something she said to herself, but it was the first thing she said to me. She said politely. Of course, being polite does not mean being kind.
“If you’re that worried, you should stop me.”
She turned and entered the building.
I was convinced once again. Even if the demon essence dies, she will not intervene. Rather, it occurred to her that she might be wishing for the Demon Essence to be destroyed.
I looked up at the night sky.
Even the moon waxes and wanes, and I felt that my work with Ma Jeong-su was gradually approaching its end.
* * *
“Would you like to go with me?”
I asked at the foot of Pungsan.
“It’s okay. “I will be waiting here.”
He was afraid of an ambush. That’s why I’m only sending it to you. He is truly a selfish and mean person. However, I wasn’t worried about running away with this money.
Through my intentional efforts, trust in me has been built up, and even if I run away with the money, they probably think that they can get it from Yang So-ark who introduced me.
“I’ll be back.”
“Do you really need a leather bag this big?”
“Because you have to receive it in small amounts.”
“Why should that be?”
“It’s dark, dirty money. There may be problems later.”
“As expected, you are meticulous.”
Is it because they are meticulous? Because I need this money.
“Yes, I will come.”
I climbed the mountain carrying a large leather bag.
Inside the shrine, Gucheol was waiting with several men.
Perhaps because he was tightly controlled by Yacheon, he did not show too much ferocity.
They filled their leather bags with small bills worth 50 and 100 nyang that they had brought.
“I don’t have to count, right?”
Gucheol said coldly.
“One day you will pay for making fun of us.”
I laughed and went out.
One day you will pay the price for not recognizing others. No, it would be punishment for living a wrong life. If they had lived righteously, I wouldn’t have gotten involved with the Demon Essence in the first place.
As I was coming down the mountain carrying my leather bag, I looked around.
After raising my spirits and checking to see if anyone was around, I entered the forest next to the trail.
There was a person waiting there. He was none other than Jeongyeo. He held out a leather bag identical to the one I was wearing. The leather bag was also filled with slips. Only the top few thousand nyang were real and the rest were fake.
This was the reason I chose the location. When making plans, we found out that there were several good places for people to hide around here.
Adding up to the current 100,000 nyang, the amount of money I got this time is just 200,000 nyang. It was capital to increase my strength. This money could be an elixir, a swordsman, or something else that will strengthen my power.
What’s even cooler is that no one knows I’m involved in this money.
I came down the mountain carrying a leather bag full of fake vouchers.
At the bottom of the mountain, the demonic water greeted me with a happy face. He smiled brightly when he saw the slip in the leather bag.
“Please continue to help me in the future.”
“of course.”
I also smiled brightly at him. If the fake voucher is revealed, it will be the fault of a night trader. You wouldn’t even dream of changing it.
Even if that were the case, it doesn’t matter.
Because I plan to finish it now.
Even without asking about his past sins, he has committed enough sins against me. He insulted his father in front of his son and tried to steal a woman from a man. He oppressed the powerless sects of Shandong and took their money. All of this is done by the weak with Cheondomun on their backs.
This is what I did to them.
I felt it was time.
Now is the time to pull out the barrel and put the sword in its place.
