The World of Sound - Chapter 29



Only Krnovel

“Are you really going to take my life!”

Does everything include life?

If that was the case, it would be unacceptable.

Since it was something he could not allow even if it meant dying on the spot, he glared at Cheonhwa as if he was about to burst out of the water at any moment, summoning all his strength.

“Why would you take something that isn’t even worth a penny? That dress. It looks like it’s made of pretty good silk. Shouldn’t you leave that behind too?”

“?!”

However, the words that came out of Cheonhwa’s mouth were absurd in itself.

He turned Wi Ji-cheon’s life into something worthless, something less than the clothes he was wearing.

It was a disgrace and humiliation, but I had no choice but to do it this way.

There is no justification and the situation is not good, so I have no choice but to swallow my tears and follow.

In the end, he was barely able to escape after enduring the humiliation of having to take off his nephew’s clothes with his own hands in the middle of the street.

“Isn’t this too much!”

Some turned their eyes away and swallowed their sighs as if they could not bear to watch the tragedy to the end, but after a while, when he left, they shouted as if they could not bear it anymore.

No matter how powerful Cheonhwa’s martial arts are, he is being subjected to such humiliation and shame. As the second-generation leader of a prestigious school, he cannot be acknowledged.

“What’s so bad about keeping promises? If you keep trying, just come at me. I’ll treat you specially with my generous heart.”

“That, that is… … .”

But Cheonhwa’s words were not wrong.

But before that, the inaction and violence that Cheonhwa showed were too scary.

It was perhaps natural that no one had the courage to step forward despite the arrogant statement that they could deal with all the late-indices over 30 at once if they wanted to.

Because coming forward now wasn’t courage, it was arrogance.

“Then I have to settle the rest too? What are you doing? You guys take everything off too.”

“!!”

But that’s where tolerance ends.

As promised, Cheonhwa made the same request to the rest of the later indices.

“Sir, could it be us too?”

“There’s a woman here too! What the… …!”

“Then who else is here besides you? You agreed to it before the fight, so where are you lying? If you want to argue, go to that guy and argue with him. And what’s the difference if you’re a woman? Let’s see if the club works on women.”

Take off everything and go.

Cheonhwa’s request was simple.

It was expected, but some protested to Cheonhwa who really demanded it, but it was useless.

A bet was a bet, and even the notary was certain.

If only Margin had been a notary public, he might have considered running away.

Once you’ve run away, if everyone’s talking along, you might be able to hide behind the family tree and try to force things.

Although he was the leader of the giant faction called the Iron Man Clan and was a master of the highest level, he was still a sect and they were a legitimate faction, so there was room for them to spread rumors and other tricks to obscure the truth.

However, it wasn’t easy because another person from Wijisega came forward.

If you deny the results of this battle or the conditions it sets out, you’ll be denying them too.

In the end, the later members of the luxurious branch had to endure the humiliation with tears in their eyes.

Fortunately, what Cheonhwa wanted was not for them to show off their unsightly naked bodies in the marketplace, so she went back up to the sixth floor, took off all her clothes, and received clothes from the nannies and escorts who had come to look after them, thus avoiding the embarrassment for the time being. However, it was clear as day that this rumor would soon spread throughout the martial arts world as if carried by the wind.

“I told you, it’s okay.”

“No. Whatever the reason, whether I was there or not, it happened in the organization I belong to, so I will be punished together.”

If this were to happen, it was obvious that the reputation and value of the luxury club would plummet.

To the point where belonging to a luxurious club is not a matter of pride or self-esteem, but rather a matter of shame.

That’s why some people seemed worried, but it wasn’t something Cheonhwa had to worry about.

However, I felt a little sorry about revealing everything, including the evil spirit that wasn’t there.

If it’s a sin to make bad friends, then it’s a sin, but the guy’s personality doesn’t seem like one that would fit in with these people.

Moreover, considering the treatment he would receive from the luxurious association and its members in the future because of his connection to them, he would have already suffered a greater disadvantage than being stripped naked, so he could not stop him.

If I receive any special treatment here, my relationship with them could completely go wrong.

So instead of saying anything further, I left a sincere word of advice.

“If that’s what you want, then there’s nothing I can do. However, if I were to give you some advice as an older brother, it wouldn’t do you any good to hang out with these rascals. If possible, don’t get dragged around to places like this and instead train. Even if you try to be friendly with a ragtag group, you’ll end up bowing down to the stronger ones. Just like today.”

“… …Thank you for the advice.”

This was the truth.

It may be inevitable due to family relations, but considering the guy’s skills and personality, it might be better for him to go into hiding.

Even if you only look at a few movements, you can tell that you are faithful to the basics, so if you train and awaken properly, in a few years you will be able to hang out in a place where dragons and phoenixes play, not in a place like the luxurious or the grassland.

I felt sorry for him because he had so much potential, so I left him some advice. I don’t know what he was thinking, but he bowed his head deeply and disappeared.

“Those who want it back, come back tomorrow and pay the appropriate amount. Otherwise, I’ll sell it all.”

The same goes for others.

Unable to stay here any longer, they eventually dispersed without even being able to start the meeting of the luxury club.

It would be humiliating to be robbed of all my weapons, clothes, and accessories and return home, but it would also be humiliating not to be able to get them back, so I don’t know how much money they’ll bring back.

Anyway, what is certain is that he made a lot of money.

As expected of a group of guys who gathered to make a fuss, they all had a lot of money in their pockets.

“Hey, it’s a waste of time. Then should we go up again?”

After everyone left, Cheonhwa and Marjin were left alone, and they took the vacant 6th floor.

Rather than driving them out and taking over, they just sat in the empty seats, but naturally, no one approached the 6th floor after that.

They were also worried that they might get into trouble with Cheonhwa like those others, and that they might fall out of favor with the prestigious political factions to which those who had just disappeared while being close to Cheonhwa belonged.

“Okay, then let’s eat and play!”

Thanks to this, Cheonhwa was able to use the place leisurely, so he ordered a lot of alcohol and food as he had planned, and called in all the first-class or higher musicians who had time.

The original purpose was to listen to the performance and discuss the sound.

I would have liked to talk to her, a top-class musician, but there was still plenty of time.

Considering that she must have been badly injured in body and mind, he stubbornly refused to meet her again and was content to discuss music and play along with other musicians late into the night.

Although they did not reach her level, the other musicians also had excellent skills worthy of the name of Akyangjeilru, so it was a fairly satisfying time.

Of course, all those costs came out of Margin’s pocket.

“Oh, oh …

Yes, Cheonhwa and Majin stayed on the 6th floor until late at night, but there were no complaints from the Juru side.

This was because Cheonhwa also played a role in preventing any harm from the members of the Hwahwa branch.

Moreover, unlike them, he treated the servants of the royal palace quite politely, and he greatly respected the musicians, even teaching them about music, so there was absolutely no reason to dislike him.

Even if he wasn’t there, I was planning on leaving the 6th floor empty today.

While they were enjoying themselves like that, one late night, Jeom So-i came running in a hurry and bowed her head.

“What is it?”

“We have sent someone from Wijise.”

“People? Can’t you live?”

“Oh, maybe?”

“It’s okay. Just tell them to come.”

It is said that the Wijisega sent someone to him.

To be exact, it was a message rather than a person.

“Here, please.”

“… … ?”

Following Jeomsoi’s instructions, when the person sent by Wijisega went up to the 6th floor, Cheonhwa immediately extended her hand towards him.

“Isn’t this a reward for doing the home education that you should have done? I don’t need any words of gratitude, so just give me money. Oh, or is it some kind of elixir?”

And the words he spoke shocked everyone.

Of course, it would be obvious that he came for revenge, or as a warning, or to get back what was taken away, but Cheonhwa spoke confidently, as if it were something very natural.

“Kha, kehahahaha! That’s right. You should be rewarded for educating that poorly-educated rascal.”

Margin burst into loud laughter at those words.

It was quite a dangerous statement to make against a place with such a high reputation, but it felt good inside.

Wriggle

Naturally, the person from Wijisega showed signs of discomfort, but there were no untoward incidents of sword fighting.

It is estimated that Cheonhwa’s power is at least at its peak, and this is because Majin, who was introduced as his older brother, is in this position.

Although the family was considered a place that could not even provide proper education at home, now was the time to carry out the mission given by the head of the family rather than get angry.

So he held back his words and relayed the words on behalf of the family.

“… … The Lord asked me to bring Confucius. Please come with me.”

“Wizisegaju? He’s here?”

What was conveyed was a request for an interview with the Wiji Se-ga.

Surprisingly, it was said that the Wijise family had come to Akyang.

Thanks to that, Margin also showed a slightly surprised look, but Cheonhwa continued to grumble even after hearing those words.

“There’s nothing strange about it. I’m worried about the country since they let such a worthless bastard out there!”

“… … This is an order given after hearing the news while visiting for some other business.”

To endure this much was nothing short of superhuman patience.

Even if it is true that the Safains routinely criticize each other, the Jeongpa people are not immune to humiliation.

They swing their sword at you even if you scratch them just a little, so this kind of continuous humiliation is hard to bear.

But he believed. He had no doubt that since the Lord wanted to see Cheonhwa himself, he would repay the humiliation he had suffered.

However, even that expectation was not easily realized.

“Hmm. Okay. I don’t want to go.”

This is because Cheonhwa, who had been thinking for a moment, expressed his refusal with a calm expression.

You’re refusing the interview request of the Great Leader?

No matter how scary it was, it was something I never thought of.

The man who had thought that even if he trusted in Margin’s power, he would take him along and follow him was greatly taken aback by Cheonhwa’s words, but he used his wit to provoke Cheonhwa.

“… … Are you scared?”

I tried to tease Cheonhwa’s pride and make her follow me, but it didn’t work.

Cheonhwa gave an answer with a sly laugh at the unexpected provocation.

“If there’s something you need to do, just tell the person who needs it to come. Don’t tell them to come or go. Is it a family tradition to not know manners to this extent?”

He sent a message to the person who had business to come in person, along with a reprimand asking if being spoiled was a family trait.

It was absurd considering the location and distribution of the rivers and lakes, but it made sense.

“You will regret it.”

Because of that, the man had no choice but to return home empty-handed and with a blush on his face.

Just talking like some worthless villain.

“Are you okay? The opponent is none other than the Wei Zi family… … And if the head of the household is here, his military force may have come with him.”

“It’s okay. It’s useless if weak guys get together.”

“… … ?”

After that, the musicians and the shamans worried about him, but Cheonhwa said it was nothing serious.

As I once told Margin, only weak people worry about such things.

Has a tiger ever been afraid of being attacked by a pack of rabbits?

At best, those who could be sorted out on the margin line harbored some ill feelings, but for him, discussing music with the musicians was more important right now.

After the man left, I thought that maybe the Weizise family would come looking for me in person, but that didn’t happen.

Moreover, there was no need to use gasoline or other means to find him.

I don’t know if it’s because his pride was hurt, he gave up, or if he’s up to something.
