Chapter 137
##137fury. Fisherman's geography
The old woman spoke with a voice as cracked as a dry paddy field..
“The Red Tiger Ark will not stand still..”
“hmm?”
Baek Soo-ryong, who was working in his room, raised his head and looked at the old woman..
Baek Soo-ryong had recently taken care of almost all the lodging and food at his guesthouse..
The old woman put down the freshly rolled noodles in front of him and sat down opposite him..
“In one night, most of the assistant ark owners and executives were massacred. Among them, there were disciples who learned martial arts from Jeokho Bangju. Even if you are busy, eat well.”
After taking a bite of somen, Baek Soo-ryong calmly put down his chopsticks..
“It's still embarrassing…….”
The old woman saw that and narrowed her eyes..
“This guy? I thought he might be hungry, so I gave him some food. If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it..”
When the old woman tried to take away the bowl of somen, Baek Soo-ryong raised his hand to stop her..
“Leave it behind. I'll take a bite every time I feel sleepy. Somen is very effective in waking you up..”
“Ugly guy.”
The old woman who was complaining soon sighed. And asked with a worried expression.
“So what do you do next? Since the Jeokho Room has been so crowded, the Jeokho Ark will soon break out of the closed building..”
“Is it possible that Jeokho Ark is the type of person who cares deeply for his disciples? So much so that he immediately seeks revenge on the person who killed his student.?”
“I don't have that kind of personality. but.”
There was a faint fear mixed in the voice of the old woman talking about the Red Tiger Ark..
“If he doesn't like something, he kills it mercilessly, subjugates it by force and makes it his subordinate, and steals from the weak as if it's natural..”
“It's just an ordinary madhu..”
“Open up, ordinary madhu?”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded as if it was no big deal..
Madou, who is crazy about blood, was sick of it when he was in the blood religion. No matter how vicious the Red Tiger Ark was, it couldn't surprise him..
‘Still, I’m curious about martial arts..’
Cheongcheon Island, and the old woman too. He said that it was only a few times that he saw the Red Tiger Ark in person..
But everyone said in unison that his martial arts skills were great..
the old woman said.
“A year ago, he suddenly invaded Jeokhobang, killed the previous owner of the house in three rounds, and became Ark. No matter how Safa is, if he recklessly takes up space on the ark, there will likely be disharmony... … . I suppressed all complaints with overwhelming martial arts..”
“sum of three?”
Baek Soo-ryong was genuinely a little surprised..
‘Bu Ark, who died from Dok Go-jun, was also first-class..’
So, it means that the previous Ark who died to the current Ark was at least as strong as him, and he killed that guy in three rounds.?
‘Even among peak masters, he might be quite strong..’
Of course, it depends on what martial art you have learned and what the situation was at the time, but in these cases, it was safe to assume the worst..
“Since then, it has been almost non-existent. From what I heard, he has no interest in alcohol, let alone women, and is only crazy about martial arts. I heard that he had his subordinates buy and collect whatever elixir he could find..”
“At that point, I think he might have a story. There is no separate information found from Haomun.?”
The old woman sighed and shook her head..
“I've searched for details, but nothing has come up. Either he came down from the mountain or he wore a bast mask all year round..”
“You must have been in contact with someone for at least a year, right? Even though I'm not a monk, I'm sure I drank alcohol at the base..”
“It was like that. Several working children were seriously injured while trying to obtain information..”
There was anger on the old woman's face..
It is said that among the Hao Mundo who were hit by the Red Tiger Ark, some were crippled. He was such a cruel person..
“He's cruel yet cunning. The ones who took direct action are numerous, and the people who died or were injured were all from the slums. Those who have no problem even if they report it to the government or the Murim League..”
“Hmm…….”
It was a story that would have made the students of Cheongryong Academy indignant if they had heard it..
However, Baek Soo-ryong's expression was calm and only his eyebrows narrowed slightly..
In his time of indignation, he thought of a way to deal with the Red Tiger Ark..
“The more I listen to it, the more I'm sure he's a stinker... … . He's hiding in a place like this with that level of martial arts skills.?”
“It would be best not to let students go near the enemy room anymore. It could really cause serious harm..”
“I'll evacuate the area first..”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded obediently..
Since I decided to join hands with Hao Wen, I had no intention of listening to the old woman's advice..
However, I was thinking of trying another method..
‘There isn't just one room to clean up in the slums..’
Baek Soo-ryong asked while thinking of something..
“How about the main room??”
“joy. They say they barely even go out the door after the Cheongryong Academy students arrive..”
The old woman, who showed fear when talking about Jeokho-bang, snorted and looked disdainful when talking about Daeung-bang..
“What kind of bear are these guys who move around like bat cubs and hope for the beans to fall? Those three guys look like foxes and rats..”
“three guys?”
“The three powerful men. Strength too. A powerful spear. Big goon. They're guys with nicknames that aren't even funny..”
The old woman spoke bluntly and spoke about the three brothers who shared the main room..
“They're waiting for you to take out the enemy. No, I hope they at least reduce the power. To take on the fishermen's position after you leave the slums..”
“Hmm.”
Daeungbang was a group with a different personality from Jeokhobang and Cheoldu faction..
They were mainly composed of retired ronin, but there were only eight of them..
“But each of the eight ronin has three henchmen named disciples..”
In fact, the people who collect the money in the slums are the henchmen of the ronin, and the eight ronin rarely come out of the main room or just wander in and out..
The old woman sighed and said.
“After a few of you guys were attacked by your students, even the Ronins realized what was going on and stopped coming out even more..”
“For some reason, the other group didn't report much.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong tapped the table with his fingers and muttered..
Although I've been focusing on Dok Go-Jun recently, I was also paying attention to the trends of other students..
However, nothing special happened to the students patrolling the main room..
‘What do I have to meet to fight and gain experience?.’
Fighting with rogues who run errands is not helpful to the growth of Cheongryong Academy students..
At the very least, you have to fight directly against the eight ronin who are the main players of the main room.…….
Baek Soo-ryong asked while organizing his thoughts..
“Those guys called Georyoksamwoong. Is there not much greed in unifying the slums? I'm satisfied with it now?”
“Because there is no greed. If it weren't for the Red Tiger Ark, they would have tried to devour this place a long time ago. I'm saving myself for fear that someone might die..”
If it weren't for the Red Tiger Ark.
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the swollen Somen and pondered those words..
The old woman sighed and said.
“Unless you attack the main room directly, it will be difficult to meet them. These guys won't move their asses unless they're sure they can win the fight..”
“In other words, if I am confident, I will move then.?”
“Well, I guess so..”
At that moment, a plan crossed Baek Soo-ryong’s mind..
“Grandmother. I wonder if the death of Jeokhobang's sub-bangju and executives yesterday was also known to Daeungbang??”
“You should have figured it out by now. Rumors like this tend to spread quickly in slums. But why are you like that??”
“then…….”
An evil smile appeared on Baek Su-ryong’s mouth..
It was the look you make when you're planning something bad..
“Daeungbang is targeting fishermen? Then you can do that..”
“What should I do??”
“Let's add just one rumor to what happened last night..”
Hao Wen is one of the most famous intelligence groups in Wulin..
In other words, he was said to be skilled at manipulating information..
The old woman, who understood Baek Su-ryong's words, leaned towards Baek Su-ryong..
“tell me in detail.”
“For now…….”
Baek Soo-ryong lowered his voice and whispered so that only the old woman could hear..
When he finished his story, the old woman's mouth was gaping open..
“what?”
“It's not that I really didn't hear it.?”
“……What are you going to do if something goes wrong??”
In response to the old woman's concerned question, Baek Soo-ryong smiled and said,.
“You're going to overturn the slums anyway, right? Then you have to do it right.”
“Umm…….”
The old woman thought for a moment, then sighed and got up from her seat..
“I don't think I can be disbarred because of you..”
“……It's rejection?”
At that moment, a playful smile spread across the wrinkled face of the old woman..
“But it seems unlikely that I will die while having fun. I will let the rumor you told reach the ears of the Big Three today..”
* * *
“Brothers!”
Georyokdo, the eldest of the Georyuk Samwoongs, clicked his tongue as he saw his younger brother running towards him with his belly fluttering..
“Tsk tsk. Are you saying that a guy over 40 is running around panting without any body ache?.”
“That guy hasn't changed since he was young..”
Georyokchang, the second son of Georyuk Samwoong, who was drinking on the other side, also clicked his tongue and chimed in..
“Brothers! Body pain is not the problem now!”
The Geohan who arrived in front of them in a huff was Georyokgon, the youngest of the Georyoksamung..
Georyokgon took a moment to catch his breath and continued speaking..
“Did you hear that the assistant ark of Jeokhobang died last night??”
“I heard it all earlier. Is that why you made such a fuss??”
“Pathetic guy. It's because the news is so slow…….”
“That's not all!”
Georeokgon interrupted his brothers and shouted..
He lowered his voice and said to his brothers who had surprised eyes..
“Did you hear who killed Bu Ark??”
“……They say it's a kid from the Blue Dragon Academy..”
“Could it be someone else? There's probably no one in this area with that kind of skill..”
The two giants who were lying diagonally on the bench straightened their posture. I thought there was no way my youngest would bring up this story for no reason..
“This is what I heard from a reliable source.…….”
After a brief pause, Georyokgon continued speaking with a serious expression..
“He is a mysterious master whose identity is unknown..”
“That doesn't even seem like something to say.?”
“The kid has been drunk since broad daylight..”
At the older brothers who snorted and did not want to deal with him, Georyokgon hit his chest in frustration..
“It's frustrating! Brothers. Why do you think the Blue Dragon Museum is suddenly visiting this place??”
“That's it…….”
“Don’t political faction bastards do that sometimes when they’re bored?.”
Georyokgon sighed as if he felt sorry for his brothers who don't think..
“There was a request from a mysterious expert. I want you to raid the slums. To get the enemy gangsters out..”
“Why do you do that? There's no reason, there's no reason.”
“To kill Jeokho Ark. There was also a Red Tiger Ark there..”
““!!””
The expressions of the two giants hardened at one word from Georyokgon..
Georyeokdo, the eldest brother, asked in a sharp voice..
“Are you sure about that??”
They say they are now retired and living a carefree life, but they were long-established ronin..
When he sensed that the situation was unusual, his expression changed..
“This is solid information. I heard about it through an agent planted in Haomun..”
When I heard the source of the information, it became more credible. Georyekgon continued his explanation..
“The mysterious expert and the Ark competed, but as the defeat became more difficult, the mysterious expert ran away first. Ark also suffered internal injuries, so he was unable to chase him and returned to his room..”
“The Red Tiger Ark suffered internal injuries? That monster?”
“yes. My internal injuries are quite serious..”
“Hmm…….”
Georyukdo thought for a moment, then shouted so loudly that the wide manor rang loudly..
“Brothers! Guys! Gather here and see!”
It was a scene that showed that his inner strength was extraordinary..
After a while, five ronins appeared wandering around the large manor..
“What happened suddenly??”
“I'm having a lot of fun…….”
In the past, everyone was leisurely, but now they are more interested in drinking, gambling, and women than martial arts..
But like worn-out rogues, their eyes were still fierce..
Georyeokdo looked back at them and smiled..
“The opportunity has come to take over Jeokhobang. I want everyone to lend a hand.”
