The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 7
Only Krnovel
It seemed as if a flash of light passed through my mind.
It was a moment when all the delicacies I had eaten, the beautiful women I had embraced, and the elixirs I had taken were all useless.
‘I can’t die like this!’
Everything else is fine no matter what.
But money!
Jeoksaeng thought that he could not die until he had amassed wealth comparable to that of an emperor.
He rolled around with agility that was unbefitting his size.
While I was avoiding the corner, the number of people in black in the office had already increased to two.
Kaang!
Cold sweat broke out on Jeoksaeng’s forehead.
In front of my eyes, two people in black exchanged quick attacks.
Kaga River!
One had his face covered with a cloth, and the other, whose face was exposed, was a dark bodyguard of the enemy.
When the two guards fell, they appeared to save their master.
“Sangdan lord!”
The dark guard shouted as he received a slash from the man in black.
Jeoksaeng, who came to his senses, grabbed the bookshelf and stood up.
I ran out of the messy office.
The wind was unusually cool.
Jeoksaeng ran hurriedly.
The silence of the night when everyone was asleep prompted Jeoksaeng’s anxious running.
Around the corner, warriors appeared in front of the stumbling Jeoksaeng.
They were people who were running at the unusual noise.
The warriors who discovered the enemy opened their eyes wide.
“Sangdan lord? Where is the escort going and alone… .”
Jeoksaeng pointed at him.
“You go to the Murim Alliance immediately. “Go and tell them that someone is trying to take my life.”
“yes? “Is it a lifesaver?”
“right now!”
“All right.”
The warrior who questioned the question and only heard a scolding walked away at a brisk pace.
Now, the remaining three stiffened their stances, looking at their enemies.
“The rest stay here to protect me.”
“yes.”
After a while, a bell began to ring, signaling the presence of an intruder.
The mansion suddenly became noisy.
Numerous hired warriors rushed to Jeoksaeng’s office.
The man in black, who was competing with the undercover guards, jumped onto the roof when he saw the approaching warriors.
The dark guard shouted.
“Chase!”
Some dancers climbed onto the roof, while others looked up and played with their feet.
The cancer guard who returned to Jeoksaeng’s side spoke to him.
“It appears that the man in black has escaped from the mansion. “Everyone is after him.”
“okay?”
Jeoksaeng stood up, wiping away the cold sweat with the back of his hand.
“Let’s go to the office.”
“yes? What is that… .”
“Isn’t work supposed to be done? The eastern annex will be used as an office for the time being. “Move the desk, chair, and even books.”
The crisis was passed safely.
So, shouldn’t you make money by doing what you have to do today?
Jeoksaeng gathered all the warriors he saw along the way and moved to the office together.
Although each individual was insignificant compared to the dark bodyguard that drove out the Black Man, their number reached a whopping fifteen.
Thinking about that number, Jeoksaeng was able to somewhat calm his still beating heart.
* * *
Yang’s escort, who was naturally pushed out and fled outside, crossed the roof.
In the middle of the night, men with weapons rushed into the city, causing a great commotion, and there were not many talented people who could properly chase down the Yang guards.
He jumped down a dark alley as if he were going to get caught.
A young warrior landed in an alley and swung his sword.
Shhh!
The sound of the wind was fierce.
If Howie Yang hadn’t bent his upper body, he would have lost his head.
The young warrior raised his sword again.
Phew!
“Wow!”
At that moment, the young warrior’s movements stopped with a sudden death.
After being stabbed in the back, he grimaced and tried to move, but Bido then stabbed him in the neck.
The stab wound from earlier on his back reached his lungs, so he couldn’t even leave a will.
“This way!”
“Catch it!”
Sigh! Sigh!
Other fighters who followed him into the alley got bamboo sticks stuck in their foreheads when they landed.
Among the warriors of Jeoksaeng, there was no one who could withstand Tang Fei-hyeon’s secret path.
“great job.”
“Confucius.”
Dang Bi-hyeon left behind the fallen warriors and looked at Yang Guard.
Guard Yang said wisely.
“Not a drop of blood was shed.”
“good. “Don’t get hurt while luring the kids.”
“All right. But can you stay here?”
If you miss today, the security will become several times stricter.
Even if the number of warriors simply increases, it is difficult, but the moment the elites of the Murim Alliance join the enemy, assassination is over.
Howie Yang’s concerns were valid.
Dang Bi-hyeon raised the corners of his mouth and said.
“are you okay. Just make sure you entice them properly.”
Then, he hid his presence as if he was disappearing into the shadows.
The footsteps of warriors were heard from all directions.
However, Yang Howie was not worried about Dang Feixian.
As he said, all he has to do is properly entice, which is the task given to him.
Guard Yang sprinted out of the alley.
The warrior who discovered him raised his voice.
“It’s here! we are here!”
The two guards walked around the city, cutting down the warriors blocking their path and taking a detour.
When a significant amount of air power was consumed, the sound of a bell began to be heard from the Murim Alliance.
Only then did the guard abandon his mission, as if he had taken a breather by hiding properly.
I took off my blood-stained black clothes and checked to see if there was any blood on the clothes I was wearing.
“I didn’t bury it. thank god.”
Guard Yang returned to the guest room through the open window and wandered around the room restlessly.
Following Dang Bi-hyeon’s instructions to disappear before the Murim Alliance came forward, he completely escaped.
Now all we have to do is Tang Fei-hyeon be safe, and the results won’t be known until morning.
‘I’d rather take a nap and wake up.’
Yang escorts lay down on the bed like that.
Because my whole body was covered in sweat, I couldn’t sleep, and ended up spending the rest of the night with my eyes open.
* * *
Jeoksaeng, who had set up security nearby, was in his office selecting which books to move first.
All warriors who came forward to help were asked to pick up tables and chairs and move them first.
This was because there were many books that were too valuable and secret for a single warrior to see.
This was especially true of the Cheonglimbu-related data.
The Cheonglimbu always gave orders verbally and strictly advised them not to leave records of their activities.
At first glance, it looks like it’s a list of random names, so I’ll skip it.
One reason was that once specific activity records were revealed to the public, there was no turning back.
In that sense, Jeoksaeng broke the taboo.
‘Is it possible that the Cheonglimbu noticed that?’
Jeoksaeng shook his head.
If that were the case, a more certain expert would have come.
Jeoksaeng, who packed a bundle of selected books, gritted his teeth.
There was definitely something he was missing.
It was then.
Sigh.
The office door slowly opened.
The enemy’s gaze naturally turned towards that direction.
And the red life froze.
Kudangtang.
The warriors in front of the door fell down, staining the threshold red.
The secret guard that I trusted so much was no exception.
I could see twinkling stars through the wide open door.
Jeoksaeng took a deep breath and held the bundle in his arms.
“Car, window… .”
You have to climb out the window and escape.
Jeoksaeng, thinking of that, turned around and blinked in surprise.
“Ugh!”
There was no one at the window.
However, there was only the bamboo barrel that killed his guard earlier.
The moment when Jeoksaeng, who was completely paralyzed, changed his mind again and turned around.
Dang Bi-hyeon grabbed his neck.
“Ugh! “Big!”
“The owner of Baekpo Sangdan.”
“Hey! Well, stop… .”
Jeoksaeng’s body was lifted into the air.
At this moment, the feeling of death radiating from the cold snow-like eyes in front of him was more painful than the feeling of being strangled.
Dang Bi-hyeon clearly engraved each word in his mind.
“The party has come to ask for your sins.”
When I let go of my neck, Jeoksaeng hit me on the butt.
“All right, party door!”
Dang Bi-hyeon pointed his sword at him.
“Answer the question. honestly. Then your blood will never be on this sword.”
“Answer, I will answer. I’ll tell you everything you want, so please just spare your life… !”
The virtue of a good merchant is coolness.
Jeoksaeng was a great merchant.
However, with the blade in front of him, he was cool-headed, naive, and honestly confident.
Dang Bi-hyeon saw this and raised the corners of his mouth.
However, the gaze like the cold snow from the north still remained.
“You contributed to the demise of the Tang Dynasty, right?”
“Well, that…” .”
Dang Bi-hyeon held the sword to his neck.
“You’re not asking without knowing.”
“Ah, okay. I think it might be seen as contributing to the fact that weapons were used against private households… .”
Dang Bi-hyeon whirled his sword brilliantly and struck the floor.
Kwasik!
“From now on, if you give an ambiguous answer, lie, or hesitate in your answer, I will cut off your fingers one by one.”
Then the red student, who was very flinching, revealed the truth.
“You helped! “It definitely helped!”
“How specifically?”
“Do our property work! “I received a promise to do the work and provided weapons.”
“Byung Jang-gi, how could you get a promise to do the work when you can get it from somewhere else?”
“that… .”
I hesitated.
Quack!
“Aaaahhh!”
“Why were you promised work?”
“Because it’s an order!”
“What do you mean by order?”
“The order is… . I made some sort of threat. “The words came out in vain.”
It’s a lie.
Quack!
“Kwaaaak!”
“I said I wasn’t asking without knowing.”
“Heheheuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”
He brought the sword to the ugly, sobbing face of Jeoksaeng.
As soon as the cold blade touched his skin, the startled Jeoksaeng lightly convulsed.
“Cheonglimbu.”
“… … !”
“The Cheonglimbu ordered it. Take it from the head of the house, and give it to yourself. “You just used that order to negotiate.”
“Why do you know?” .”
“Why do you know? “You lied?”
“no. no. “I didn’t lie.”
Jeoksaeng desperately shakes his head.
Dang Bi-hyeon deliberately swung his sword sideways to shake off the blood.
Then he aimed at the enemy’s neck again.
As he intended, the enemy’s fear had reached its peak.
Dang Bi-hyeon controlled his inner self and controlled his life.
Because starting now is important.
“Who gave you the orders?”
“Moyonggyo. Hyeongdang’s Moryonggyo.”
‘It’s a large ship.’
A name that is not written on the list of exorcists.
In other words, he was an executive of the Cheonglimbu.
“Do you know any other Cheonglimbu officials?”
It wasn’t a very expected question.
As Dang Fei-hyeon expected, Jeoksaeng shook his head.
As he was trembling at the same time, he seemed to think that he was cutting off his finger again because he had no information.
In these cases, trying to reassure them verbally is counterproductive.
Dang Fei-hyeon passed over indifferently.
“Data to prove the existence of Cheonglimbu.”
“List of Destruction Destruction… ?”
“Not that.”
“… ah. “There is a secret ledger.”
It was the second big catch.
Jeoksaeng explained that, in the secret ledger, the money he provided in connection with the Cheonglimbu was entered without exception.
However, it is said that the person sending the money used the name of a legendary spirit instead of their real name, and the amount and date were encrypted.
“Spiritual creatures?”
“I will tell you all who is who.”
“… … .”
“Ah, even the solution to the amount and date.”
Dang Fei-hyeon, who had memorized the words recited by Jeok-saeng, opened a secret ledger and glanced through it.
As the names of spiritual objects were replaced with the names of people, the identity of the ledger became much clearer.
The role of Jeoksaeng was to provide the money necessary for those listed on the Myeolakjigeo mission list to carry out their missions.
The amount of money he provided to Mo Yong-gyo, who revealed his identity to him, was also considerable.
‘To find out the identity of the designer, we need to track down that money.’
Even the Murim Lord is playing into the hands of the designer.
Who on earth is this?
“Are you letting me live now? “You promised.”
“Oh, I did.”
Dang Bi-hyeon smiled brightly at Jeok Saeng.
