Episode 832. Head-on Showdown (3)

The voice of a man in white robes flowed out from behind the cotton swab.

For a moment, the onlookers’ eyes were focused on the man.

The voice coming from behind the cotton cloth seemed devoid of any emotion.

If a man could cut objects with just his voice, he would be able to cut anything.

But Jang Mu-gwang had no time to pay attention to the other person’s voice.

This was because Jang Mu-gwang had to block Jang Yi-yeon’s attacks that kept flying towards him. Jang Mu-gwang shouted as he hurriedly blocked the attacks.

“Help me!”

“I guess I should listen to what you have to say first. But it’s too distracting to have a conversation.”

The man in white robes lightly flicked the harp he was holding.

Ting!

In an instant, one of the strings of the lock came loose and flew away somewhere.

Whoosh!

The white line was pointing to Jang I-yeon’s ankle.

The string that was flying like an arrow hit Jang Yi-yeon’s ankle.

Like a snake trying to choke its prey, the white line started to wrap around Jang Yiyeon’s ankles and then around her calves.

The white line eventually wrapped around Jang Yi-yeon’s lower body and stopped.

Only then did Jang I-yeon’s sharp hands stop.

As the attack stopped, Jang Mu-Gwang quickly retreated.

Jang Mu-gwang, who was out of breath, looked at the man.

The man nodded quietly at that sight.

The man smiled and examined his locket.

Jang Mu-gwang also looked at the man’s unlocked door.

What was curious was that the man’s locket had a new string again.

It was clear that the strings of the haegeum served as a memorizer.

Then the man opened his mouth.

“How can I help you? I’ll do whatever you want. Should I just kill everyone here?”

The voice of the man in white uniform beyond the cotton swabs was devoid of any emotion.

It was like an empty shell without a soul.

The voice was so strange that Jang Mu-gwang flinched and stepped back.

At that moment, the onlookers began to murmur.

“Are you trying to kill us?”

“No way. What kind of grudge would we have against those of us who were just watching… .”

“That’s right. Regardless of the case, if there are witnesses, there will be stories of bravery. Haha.”

The onlookers, without exception, laughed in vain.

That would be the case, there have never been cases of ordinary people dying in such a battle.

If there are losers, there must naturally be winners.

In order to spread the victor’s tale of bravery throughout the world, the mouths of the people were essential.

Besides, this was the most famous purification inn in the area.

It was impossible to kill bystanders in such a public place.

Besides, there was absolutely no reason to silence the onlookers.

At least to their ears, their conversation was unrelated to them.

While everyone was laughing, Jang Mu-gwang’s eyes lit up.

In fact, Jang Mu-gwang’s biggest worry was that he and his family would lose face.

Power and money came next.

The problem here was that his reputation had already been lost.

What’s the best way to save face?

It was to silence the mouths of the people right here.

Losing to Jang Yi-yeon was the greatest humiliation of my life.

When it came to erasing that disgrace, the means didn’t matter.

Jang Mu-gwang’s attitude of not caring about the means and methods.

The Mangeommun has also grown in this way, never missing an opportunity. The sect has no room to be picky about its means and methods of growth.

In this respect, the man in white uniform was accurately reading Jang Mu-gwang’s worries.

Jang Mu-gwang nodded quietly.

“Is it possible?”

“Isn’t that why you called me?”

A man in white uniform pointed to the horn flute that Jang Mu-gwang was holding.

Jang Mu-gwang looked back and forth between the horn he was holding and the man.

Then the man in white uniform continued speaking.

“My name is Hyun.”

“I am Jang Mu-gwang of the Man-geom-mun.”

“I know. Then let’s begin.”

The man clapped his hands after finishing speaking.

match!

In an instant, the man’s men scattered in all directions.

His men, scattered in all directions, seemed to be blocking all the doors leading to the inn.

In addition, there was a strange momentum flowing from it.

For a moment, all the onlookers who had been making a fuss closed their mouths.

In the guest room, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of someone swallowing dry saliva.

Suddenly, one of the onlookers walked towards the door of the guest house with a gait.

The onlookers who arrived at the door stopped in their tracks.

He quietly turned his head to the side.

Next to the onlookers, a woman wearing a white robe and cotton shawl was holding her arms together.

She was the subordinate of the man in white uniform.

The onlookers stared blankly at the woman in white cotton.

The onlooker, who had been watching the opponent for a moment, slowly extended his foot.

But the woman didn’t even look at the onlookers.

The onlooker repeatedly put his foot out and took it out as if testing the woman.

Despite his tests, the woman did not budge.

The onlooker quickly grabbed his luggage and ran away.

That was when.

Someone grabbed a bystander by the scruff of the neck.

The onlooker suddenly fell backwards.

The onlooker who fell backwards looked at the person who had pulled him and shouted.

“What the hell are you doing! Are you one of them?”

“You saved a drowning man, and now you’re asking me to give you his bundle… … You can’t even say thank you, so why are you getting angry?”

The one who grabbed the onlookers was none other than Hanbin.

Hanbin glared at the onlookers as if he found this absurd.

However, the other onlookers gathered at the guest house did not understand Hanbin’s actions.

That would be the case, if the person who was trying to escape from here succeeded in doing so, the other onlookers would follow them.

No matter how much you enjoy watching a fight or how much you enjoy betting, nothing is more precious than life.

The atmosphere here was that ominous.

The atmosphere created by the man in white uniform was like that.

Those who were watching closely couldn’t have looked favorably upon Hanbin, who had blocked the man’s escape attempt.

That was when.

Hanbin looked at the roast duck on the table next to him.

The whole roast duck looked like it hadn’t even been eaten.

Hanbin said while looking at the owner of the restaurant.

“I would like some roast duck.”

“Okay. I was going to throw it away anyway. Enjoy it.”

As the other person nodded as if doing a favor, Hanbin looked at the open door.

I had lost my appetite and had lost interest in cooking for a long time.

The rest of the onlookers tilted their heads as if they did not understand Hanbin’s actions.

That was when.

Hanbin picked up the duck and threw it nonchalantly toward the door.

Anyone who looked at him could see that he had no strength at all.

The duck, thrown without strength, flew in a parabolic arc toward the entrance.

A duck moving slowly passed in front of the cotton lady.

But the woman didn’t move, her arms folded.

She didn’t even turn her head. She didn’t even look at the duck flying outside.

That was when.

A cold breeze rushed in from the entrance, accompanied by a strange sound.

Crunch.

At the same time, the flying roast duck broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

Thud thud.

The duck was cut into such small pieces that it was the size of a fingernail and fell to the floor like hail.

For a moment, the onlookers’ eyes widened.

The onlooker who had been grabbed by the scruff of the neck looked back and forth between Hanbin and the roast duck that had fallen in front of the door.

The shoulders of the onlookers looking at the carved roast duck trembled slightly.

Because if the opponent hadn’t caught him, he would have been torn to pieces like a roast duck.

Hanbin met the gaze of the onlookers, shrugged his shoulders, and picked up the bottle on the table.

Hanbin threw the bottle at the door without a care.

The bottle fell again in a graceful trajectory, just like the duck.

But the bottle didn’t go out.

Because a silver flash split the bottle.

In an instant, the wine drops fell to the floor along with the fragments of the bottle.

This time too, the woman guarding the door did not move with her arms crossed.

Silence spread like an epidemic in the guest house.

The room was so completely silent that the occasional sound of the wind outside felt awkward.

It was Hanbin who broke the silence.

Hanbin tapped the onlooker on the shoulder.

“Actually, you don’t have to be that grateful.”

“What do you mean… … .”

“It wasn’t you I was trying to protect, it was the stakes.”

“… … .”

The onlookers opened their eyes wide and looked at Hanbin.

Only then did the other onlookers begin to look closely at the face of the person Hanbin had saved.

Although his upper garments were changed, he was clearly a broker who managed the stakes.

Then Hanbin lifted the cloth covering his backpack.

In an instant, a box containing the prize money appeared.

The embarrassed broker, Jo Wi-myeong, took a step back.

Hanbin continued speaking at that sight.

“You’ll be safest next to me. As long as they’re here, no one will be able to escape.”

“What does that mean?”

“That means no one can escape the inn alive.”

“How can you say that so calmly?”

“I’ve been through a lot to get to this point.”

“Who the hell are you?”

That was when.

Jang Mu-hee, who had been watching quietly, bit her lip and stepped forward.

“This person is a person with a high reputation in the political world.”

“So who are you?”

The goon, Jo Wi-myeong, looked at Han Bin with eyes full of suspicion.

Hanbin opened his mouth at that sight.

“It’s a secret.”

“It’s a secret… … . It’s the first time I’ve heard that name.”

The goon, Jo Wi-myeong, tilted his head.

I heard that Hanbin said it was a secret, but it was someone else’s name.

But Hanbin didn’t bother to clear up his misunderstanding.

If the name wasn’t going to be revealed anyway, it would have been better to just leave it as is.

Hanbin, who had been looking at Jo Wi-myeong for a moment, continued speaking.

“Anyway, I have only one thing to say.”

“What is that?”

“Would you like to ask me for a favor?”

“What are you requesting?”

“What could I ask for here? Of course, it’s my life.”

“If I ask you, will you spare my life?”

“Yes, that’s right. Would you like to make a request?”

Hanbin’s proposal was sincere.

It wasn’t that difficult for Hanbin and his group to get out of here.

But even with Hanbin’s abilities, it was difficult to save everyone here.

But I couldn’t just let it go.

Because we need witnesses for today’s incident.

The goon, Jo Wi-myeong, nodded reflexively.

“Okay. How much would it be?”

“How can I set a price for your life? Just show me your sincerity, and I will do my best to match your sincerity.”

“Heh heh.”

The goon, Jo Wi-myeong, looked at Han Bin’s expression.

Jo Wi-myeong was a natural born go-getter.

There was not enough space in the granary to store the money he had earned with his three-inch tongue.

But now, I felt like I was being toyed with by the other person’s tongue.

A strangely rising competitive spirit.

But it was not a situation where I could show my competitive spirit.

Jo Wi-myeong nodded.

“Okay, I understand.”

After finishing speaking, Jo Wi-myeong handed over a silver coin.

But he bit his lip once and searched through his arms again.

He took out another silver coin.

That wasn’t the end.

After thinking it over and over, Jo Wi-myeong took out three or four more silver coins.

Hanbin watched the scene quietly.

In fact, her eyes were looking at him, but all her nerves were focused on the man in the white uniform.

The man wearing a white uniform and cotton turban was an opponent I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Hanbin had stopped caring about things like martial arts skills at some point.

The only thing Hanbin cared about was the traces of the wound.
