The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 21

"Besides, the important thing is that he received guidance from a great master."

Dan Bulseok thought for a moment and then nodded.

"That must be it. You can't create that level of skill by training alone."

"That's right. In fact, even if he received guidance from a master, it's unbelievable to have that skill at that age."

Hwang Gyesu said there was definitely a helper.

"And you all know that the Young Master almost died not long ago. But there was another rumor."

The story that he was actually attacked by someone.

"I think the attackers were those guys."

"So you're saying that those guys who attacked us were constantly watching, and then they tried to kill the Young Master. Is that it?"

"Yes. I think the Young Master deliberately acted like a troublemaker to deceive them."

If so, it's understandable why Mok Wigun had lived like that until now. He had secretly trained in martial arts while disguised as a troublemaker.

"But they found out, and they attacked and tried to kill him."

Everyone felt it was plausible. Isn't twenty years old the prime of one's life? It doesn't make sense to die from a sudden illness. But what if it was because those guys had figured everything out and made a move?

After hearing Hwang Gyesu's explanation, it felt like all the past events were falling into place.

"Hah. So all that anger and cursing at us before was all an act?"

"It must be. If he had embraced us, wouldn't those guys have suspected and made a move sooner?"

A warrior muttered.

"It must have been hard for him at a young age. It's not easy to be so harsh when you don't mean it."

"I know, right. To endure for ten years while being pointed at by people."

"To be beaten up and ignored even though he has skills. How hard it must have been."

Everyone had similar thoughts and felt sorry for Mok Wigun.

"That's right. Come to think of it, wasn't there something different about the sparring match today too?"

At Hwang Gyesu's words, Dae Seokpyeong thought for a moment and then said.

"Come to think of it, it felt like he was checking my skills. That kind of feeling."

Dan Bulseok had a similar thought. He had felt several times that he was deliberately not finishing it even though he could. He didn't know it at the time, but it felt like he was being guided.

A sense of anticipation appeared on the warriors' faces. The little master they had thought of as a troublemaker was actually hiding immense skill. And he was fighting a difficult battle against those guys alone.

"Ah. So is that why he told us to come back tomorrow?"

"Probably."

At those words, the members became excited.

"If that's the case, we can get revenge on those guys!"

"Let's give back what we've suffered all this time!"

Dan Bulseok waited for the members' excitement to subside and then said.

"Let's meet the Young Master tomorrow and make it clear. If what we think is right."

Dan Bulseok briefly recalled the hardships he had gone through. He had even had to work as a wandering warrior to feed his injured members and their families. It was because the Mok family had made a move and cut off their work.

Even so, he had never given up on revenge. He had continued to search for those guys. In the process, several members had been injured or had died. But now, those days were over. It was finally time to come out into the world again. Dan Bulseok clenched his fist and said.

"The Light Wind Unit is resurrected!"

* * *

"You've come."

Surprisingly, Mok Seonkwang came to the annex alone. And his first words were also surprising.

"Call Physician Pyeon."

"So that was the reason for your visit."

Pyeon Jeoksu had refused everyone who came to see him or called for him. He had also politely refused the Mok Family Head's request.

"Because he said he wouldn't meet anyone."

"I heard Daoist Master Pung came here and received treatment."

"That's because he has a deep connection with me, and the aftereffects of his injury are severe..."

Mok Wigun stopped talking.

"Don't tell me you're injured somewhere?"

"No. How could that be?"

Mok Seonkwang vehemently denied it. But something was strange. First of all, wasn't his coming here strange in itself? He hadn't even come when his son was dying. Moreover, he had come alone without bringing anyone.

"I'll call him first. But I can't do anything about whether he comes or not."

"Do so."

Still an upright posture, a stern expression, a firm tone. A strong aura emanating from his large frame. The Mok Family Head was no different from usual. Mok Wigun stood up from his seat, thinking it was strange.

"Please wait a moment."

As he said that and was about to leave the room to bring Pyeon Jeoksu, Mok Seonkwang suddenly reached out his hand. The Mok Family Head's large hand grabbed Mok Wigun's arm and tried to pull him towards him. As if expecting resistance, he pulled with great force.

But Mok Wigun was naturally pulled along, lowered his arm, and then swung it in a large circle. He pulled his arm out like that and shouted.

"What is this?"

"Your skill is amazing. I was curious about your skill, so I played a little prank. Why are you upset?"

"I might die if I get pranked twice. Do you use internal energy for a prank?"

The Mok Family Head smiled coldly.

"If I had really tried to kill you, would it have ended like this? If I had made up my mind, you would have already taken your last breath."

"I wonder? The world doesn't always go as one thinks."

Mok Wigun said that and left the room. And he went to Pyeon Jeoksu and said.

"The Family Head is looking for you."

"Didn't you say not to meet anyone? You should have just said no."

Pyeon Jeoksu was busy examining all sorts of medicinal herbs he had bought from the marketplace. He was doing that, saying he needed to learn about the various ingredients here. So that he could make potions.

"You should go and take a look. The Family Head is a bit strange."

"Wasn't that person always strange?"

"That's not it, it seems like he's injured somewhere. And he suddenly attacked me."

At those words, Pyeon Jeoksu lifted his head.

"He attacked you? A father, his son?"

Pyeon Jeoksu let out a hollow laugh and asked.

"Is it normally like this here? It's a lot different from what you told me."

"How could it normally be like this? This family is the strange one."

It was clear that he had attacked. It was also somewhat true that it was to find out his skill. But that wasn't all. The Family Head had grabbed his arm and secretly pushed in his internal energy.

"It's a technique used to check the opponent's internal energy."

You can check the opponent's internal energy level by the repulsive force of their internal energy. A technique mainly used by masters.

"Why? What's he going to do by checking your internal energy?"

"He must have been curious about how much internal energy I have."

He's being wary. He wanted to confirm whether Mok Wigun, who had suddenly shown his prominence, was a threat to him or not. Other than that, there was nothing that could explain the current situation.

He knew it wasn't a normal father-son relationship, but it was much worse than he thought. It was to the point where he felt sorry for Mok Wigun, who had grown up in a place like this. His brothers were at each other's throats, and his father was worse than a stranger.

"But it might actually be a good thing. He must have confirmed that I have almost no internal energy."

Mok Wigun specially asked Pyeon Jeoksu.

"So go and check. He might show some weakness to you. And tell me what he says."

"Alright. Just trust me."

Pyeon Jeoksu thumped his chest.

"I'm ridiculously good at that kind of thing. I'll go and clean him out."

* * *

Pyeon Jeoksu's meeting with the Mok Family Head. Mok Wigun deliberately did not go with him. He thought it would be much more free for the two of them to talk alone.

Their conversation was shorter than he thought. Not long after, the steward came in a hurry and delivered the news that Mok Seonkwang had left.

"Already?"

"He just left without saying he was leaving."

Steward Wang repeatedly bowed his head, saying he should have informed him and that he was sorry.

"What could you do when he suddenly left?"

"Still, I should have taken care of it..."

"It's fine. I'll hear the details from Physician Pyeon."

Just then, Pyeon Jeoksu was coming in. But his expression was unusual. He had a very unpleasant face. Seeing that, Steward Wang left the room.

Then Pyeon Jeoksu plopped down in a chair and began to complain.

"Wow. It's been a long time since I've been treated like this. What kind of trick is this?"

"Why? What happened?"

"No, at first, he was talking about this and that just fine. But then he suddenly asked for my hand."

"Your hand?"

"Yeah! You know I hate it when people touch my body, right?"

Mok Wigun know. The guy detested it when someone touched his body.

"No. I would hesitate and refuse even if a peerless beauty asked to touch me, so do you think I would have allowed a guy who looks like a mountain bandit to do so?"

"Of course not. You would have refused."

"Of course. I said it very politely. That I hate it when others touch my body. No, but he still tried to grab it by force."

Pyeon Jeoksu shivered. As if he didn't even want to think about it.

"So?"

"So what? Of course, I didn't let him grab it."

Pyeon Jeoksu said with a slightly arrogant attitude, lifting his chin.

"Were you okay? The Family Head's martial arts are considerable."

If it were the usual Pyeon Jeoksu, Mok Wigun wouldn't have worried. Because even a dragon or an immortal couldn't do anything to him. But now, he was in a very weakened state.

"Huhu. If I use my power, who can be my opponent?"

It was an arrogant statement, but it wasn't wrong. If the guy used his real power, no master could stand against him. He was just refraining from using it now because he was so weakened.

"But I can't just grab him and beat him up. So I did a little mental attack."

One of the Vampire Lord's specialties is controlling the opponent's mind.

"It would be tiring to do it perfectly, but I just gave a slight suggestion."

He had checked Pyeon Jeoksu's internal energy, but there was nothing special. And he was indeed the person sent by Mok Wigun's maternal family. He had put in this suggestion. That's why the Family Head had returned so quickly. Thinking he had found out everything he wanted to know.

"You should have just beaten him up."

"Why? Did something happen?"

While Pyeon Jeoksu was meeting with the Family Head, Mok Wigun had heard the story of the Light Wind Unit from the steward. And he found out that the reason the Light Wind Unit was living so hard was all because of the Mok family.

"They were slowly drying them out to death. Does he have some kind of grudge against Lady Son?"

It's more cruel than killing them in one go. Preventing them from working and getting treatment. Making them die one by one in despair. As the atmosphere became a bit serious, Pyeon Jeoksu changed the subject.

"Hey. I'm tired. I'm dizzy and all that. I think I'm short on blood."

"Of course, you are, since you used your power."

The source of the guy's power is blood. It's natural for him to be short on blood since he used his power. The guy's lips had really turned pale.

"Is there any good blood somewhere? Preferably one full of strong energy?"

"I'm looking for it now, so wait a little. And don't use your power recklessly."

"Still, it's more convenient for us if I plant such a suggestion."

Now the Family Head won't suspect Mok Wigun, will he?

Mok Wigun knew too. That this guy, Pyeon Jeoksu, had used his power even while overexerting himself for that reason. But Mok Wigun's thoughts were a little different.

"Convenient isn't always good. And I'm the type who can't live with a debt."

Pyeon Jeoksu and the Light Wind Unit are my people. Touching my people is the same as touching me.
