Chapter 4
##4fury. Killer and Extermination)
Impersonating the name of a prestigious family member.
‘Actually, that's pretty common..’
The five major families, including the Namgung family, had numerous collateral branches as well as their enormous power, and they took advantage of their prestigious names to gain all kinds of benefits..
Among them were many fraudsters..
To put it bluntly, medicine sellers in the low street often sold their medicine by mentioning Gupailbang or Odaesae..
‘The Murim League does not go looking for each and every one of them and accuses them of it..’
The Murim League is not a very leisurely organization, and we cannot investigate everything, and there is no need to do so..
Because it's such a minor thing.
However, if someone impersonates the name of the Namgung family and teaches the martial arts of the Sapa,?
“Huh? Namgung-wook Daehyeop? Why are you looking bad from earlier? He looks like he wants to go to a back room..”
“you bastard…….”
Namgoongwook gritted his teeth at my sarcasm. He couldn't hide his embarrassment and was sweating profusely..
“Mu, you’re putting a flue in the Murimmaeng? What would change if you did something like that?…….”
“There seems to be some misunderstanding, but I just want to brag. It is said that there is a military officer in this village who teaches the Shingongjeolhak of the Namgung family. Isn't its power so great that it can kill half a person? It was a joke to say that it was like Sapa's martial arts skills. joke.”
I know it's not a joke, Nam Gung-wook knows it, the goatee over there knows it, and my father, Baek Moo-heun, who's making a strange expression next to me, knows it too..
‘The more prestigious the family, the more pathologically they dislike having their name associated with a school..’
honor and prestige.
The political faction even risks its life on those two things..
Of course, they are people who peel all kinds of pumpkin seeds behind the scenes, but at least on the outside, they are people who practice righteousness and integrity..
That's why they never tolerate insults to their own justice..
“Isn't the joke too harsh?!”
“no way. Do you think the Murim Alliance will kill you, or even me, just because I made a joke?.”
“Huh……!”
When I pretended to slit his throat with my hand, Namgoong-wook's face turned pale..
He's a naive guy that doesn't suit his size..
[What on earth are you thinking??]
It was then that I heard my father's message..
When I rolled my eyes and glanced to the side, I saw him looking at me with a frown..
[What they taught was the martial arts of Sapa? Did you say that because you were confident??]
I, who cannot use electric sounds yet, nodded slightly..
‘I'll take care of it, so just stay still..’
I don't know if the meaning was conveyed correctly, but it seemed like my father decided to just watch this situation that I started to take control of..
I looked at the onlookers surrounding me and opened my mouth..
“There may be some misunderstanding. Would you like to clarify? While we are putting a flue in the Murimmaeng, we are also putting a flue in the Namgung family. Nam, the famous Daehyup of the Namgung family. palace. Ugh. Since the Grand Council has opened an official residence here, please send me a congratulatory wreath. It would be better if you could also verify the world-saving skills learned by Yang Sam.…….”
“Shut up your mouth!”
Now Namgoong Wook’s face turns red at my openly sarcastic tone..
If a look could kill, he would have beaten me to death dozens of times already..
I laughed out loud.
“why? Are you scared??”
“This guy really wants to die……!”
He flinched as if he wanted to go out right away, but couldn't because of the many eyes around him..
Since we have gathered together, we are all self-employed..
Murmur.
“What on earth do you mean from earlier??”
“I think Namgung Daehyup is a fraudster.?”
“Ugh. Why do warriors have such long tongues? If you want to fight, fight, if you want to stop, don't..”
“My words. I came here to watch the fight..”
“Let's wait a little longer. I think we'll have a fight soon…….”
If the onlookers were observant, they would know that this situation was going out of the ordinary..
As public opinion turned against him, Namgoong Wook's expression changed to that of a puppy that was tired of pooping. He glanced to the side without realizing it..
Where Namgoong Wook's gaze was directed, there was a goatee narrowing his eyebrows..
‘As expected, that one was real..’
It was strange from the beginning.
No matter how I looked at this bandit-looking guy, he didn't look like he was going to turn his head..
Sure enough, Goatbeard took a step forward..
“Look, Sohyeop..”
I stared at the goatee-bearded man with a calm expression. He was looking at me with a soft smile..
But I could feel the life hidden behind that smile.
“I can take responsibility for what I just said.?”
“Responsibility??”
“We did not claim that we sold the name of the Nangong family and taught the martial arts of the Four Schools. I thought about what would happen later if I said something like that without any evidence.?”
If this gets bigger and rumors spread, it won't end with the Murim Alliance's investigation..
The warriors of the Namgung family could have invaded this place directly..
If Namgung Wook (self-proclaimed) really taught the martial arts of the Four Schools, he would be decapitated by the sword of the Namgung family..
But if not?
“Do you know how dangerous the small cooperative is doing right now? Sapa martial arts. The Namgung family will not leave Sohyeop alone just for getting involved in dirty rumors..”
okay. Rather, I will face a backlash..
This is because they spread dirty rumors related to the Namgung family without any basis..
Goatbeard turned and slapped his father..
“Lord Baekmugwan. Emotions on both sides seem to have been greatly intensified today. You can make a big deal out of meaningless words... … Why don't we just keep quiet about what was said here and schedule a date later??”
So the goatee was saying this now.
‘We taught Sapa martial arts? If you talk recklessly without evidence, you too can fall victim. So take it in moderation and step away..’
Martial arts is not something that can be easily divided into right or wrong factions just by looking at traces..
The martial arts of the right school also have cruel, herbivorous hands, and the martial arts of the four schools also have something that is just as stubborn as the right school..
Unless you know the rules and see Chosik in person, it is almost impossible to distinguish between types of martial arts..
But 'almost' means that someone can do it..
eat.
“Do you think I'll be scared if I say that??”
“Iboshio small cooperative…….”
“Where are the bastards from Sapa coming from??”
I also come from a blood cult that was the pinnacle of the Four Sects, but let’s skip the trivial stuff..
“!!”
Goatbeard's expression became as hard as stone at my words..
I had no intention of leaving like this..
Because there was a clear belief that Jin Moo-gwan taught his disciples the martial arts of the Four Schools..
How can you be sure without seeing it in person??
‘That’s right, I am a former instructor who taught Sapa martial arts for over ten years..’
Whenever Namgoong Wook and Goatbeard move, they make movements without realizing it..
The tense body posture of the disciples standing behind them, etc..
To me, it was all evidence..
“Where are you guys digging? Looking at it, it looks like he was trying to expand his influence by disguising himself as a local military officer..”
This is also a common tactic of scammers that has been around for a long time..
“……under.”
Goatbeard looked at me with a dejected expression..
Then suddenly he started laughing out loud..
“haha… … Puhahahaha!”
My skin was itchy from the stinging flesh. My ears hurt because I laughed so hard..
The goatee's momentum changed and his posture began to change..
Crunchy, crunchy!
My hunched back straightened, and my body, which was thin like a student's, became muscular..
‘I thought the posture was somehow unnatural, and it turned out that they used a reverse bone ball..’
He transformed into a sturdy man and glared at me as if he was going to eat me. He almost turned into a different person, but the goatee was still there..
I assessed the other person's level..
‘I guess it's about the beginning of the first class..’
Coriander is harder to find than wild ginseng in these rural areas..
As if he had no intention of hiding his identity any longer, he glared at me with a fierce look on his face..
“This isn't normal. How did you know who we were??”
“That's a trade secret.”
His eyebrows twitched greatly at my playful tone..
“I guess I still don't understand the situation. okay. Let's see how long you can be so fussy.”
―Cooung!
He stamped his foot loudly, leaving a large footprint on the stone gymnasium floor..
“conflict! From now on, anyone who moves even one step will die.!”
A thick, deadly haze covered the training ground..
Before I knew it, some of Jin Moo-gwan's disciples who were standing behind Goatbeard had jumped up and blocked Jin Moo-gwan's gate..
The complexions of the onlookers who felt that the atmosphere was unusual and tried to leave turned pale..
“Please save me.”
“we didn't see anything!”
“I won't say anything!”
People who collapsed because they could not bear to live trembled and prayed for help..
Among them, Mr. Jang of the dry goods store who followed us was also hugging Jang tightly. Jang-i screamed, struggling in his father’s arms..
“These bad guys! I know you're all going to die from Master Baek.!”
“You bastard! Just be quiet!”
Goatbeard glanced at them and turned his head to look at me again..
A wicked smile formed on his lips..
“bantling. Everyone here is going to die because of you..”
Killer and Extermination).
Those who were discovered were planning to kill all the witnesses..
“I'll show you clearly. What happens when a powerless person acts recklessly?.”
The goatee grinned and strode towards me..
