Chapter 32
Chapter 32
"Uh, uh, uh..."
The Red Tiger Unit leader was completely out of his mind. Not only could he not have imagined such a thing would happen, but his head was being swung around in all directions, so he couldn't think at all. What could a mere leader do in a situation where he was bewildered and dizzy, but couldn't use his hands carelessly?
It was the same for the Red Tiger Unit members. They just pointed their fingers and stood frozen, saying "uh, uh". They didn't know what to do because an unbelievable situation had occurred.
"What are you doing now?"
A thunderous roar made his ears go numb. The Red Tiger Unit captain had come out and shouted. Because he had spoken with internal energy, everyone snapped to attention.
"Young Master, please stop."
Dan Bulseok came to his side and whispered.
"It's Red Tiger Unit Captain Nok Jonggak."
"I know. And that you're not on good terms with him."
The Red Tiger Unit was the one that had most viciously interfered with the Light Wind Unit's work. They had picked fights and caused serious injuries. Mok Wigun still said while grabbing his hair.
"If you tell me to stop, should I stop?"
The Red Tiger Unit captain was momentarily at a loss for words. Mok Wigun was the third young master, so he was not in a position to tell him what to do. Rather, it was the opposite.
"Answer me. Should I stop? Huh?"
He shook his hair like crazy again. The leader, who had been catching his breath for a moment, screamed again. He tried to get away somehow, but strangely, his body tingled and he couldn't move properly.
"Ughhhh!"
At that, the Red Tiger Unit captain's eyes widened and he opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry, but I will have to use my hands. Please forgive my rudeness."
His form blurred, and he tried to snatch Mok Wigun's hand. It was such a fast speed that to a normal person's eyes, only a blur could be seen. But he could not achieve his goal.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Dan Bulseok had firmly grabbed Red Tiger Unit Captain Nok Jonggak's wrist.
"Whose body do you dare to lay a hand on?"
An unexpected interference. Nok Jonggak snorted and pulled his wrist towards him. Because Dan Bulseok was about half a level below him.
"Let go!"
He intended to pull his arm and then twist it to shake him off. But when Dan Bulseok put in his strength, the hand that was moving towards Pyeongukdo's body was pulled back again.
Pyeongukdo was surprised and put in his strength again, and Dan Bulseok also put in his strength to the point where his arm was trembling. Eventually, the arm stopped in the air between the two of them. Nok Jonggak was slightly surprised and opened his mouth.
"Not bad."
"Look who's talking."
Both of them were pulling with all their might. Their faces were so red they looked like they would burst. In fact, they could have separated in other ways, but it had become a battle of pride. The problem was that, although slowly, the arm was being pulled towards Dan Bulseok's side.
"Please stop."
The merchant guild manager shouted loudly. At that, Nok Jonggak quickly released his strength and stepped back. Mok Wigun also threw the leader he had been holding by the hair.
The leader tumbled disgracefully to the ground. He was so embarrassed that he tried to get up quickly and join the members, but for some reason, he couldn't control his body properly. As he staggered like a drunk person and was about to fall, a member came out and supported him.
"No, I've heard stories of a troublemaker, but isn't this too much?"
"I've lived and lived, but this is the first time I've seen something like this."
"He's so out of control, it's scary."
The Red Tiger Unit members whispered from behind. Even to them, who had experienced a lot, Mok Wigun's appearance now was shocking.
But Mok Wigun, the person in question, had an expression as if it were nothing. He just dusted off his hands and strode towards the merchant guild manager.
"If you have business, you can just come in, why cause such a commotion?"
The merchant guild manager said in a loud voice before Mok Wigun could get any closer. He held his head high and tried to show some authority. But because he was glancing at Mok Wigun while speaking, he didn't look very dignified. Still, it was a completely different attitude from when he had come three days ago.
"Is that your answer to me?"
"That's right."
The merchant guild manager's voice was slightly smaller than a moment ago. Having been beaten up by Mok Wigun a lot, he was naturally intimidated.
"Well, the choice is yours. But you know you have to take responsibility for that choice, right?"
"It couldn't be helped. Please understand that this is all for the merchant guild and, by extension, the Mok family."
Seeing how confident he was, it seemed he had received some kind of word from Lady Jang. Well, that's probably why even the Red Tiger Unit captain was here. The Red Tiger Unit also had about twenty? Including the captain, a considerable force had come.
"It seems you're acting up, trusting these guys here."
Mok Wigun drew his sword. With a clear 'chaeng' sound, the sword was drawn from its scabbard. It was the sword of the third young master of the Mok family. How could it be a crude sword? Just by looking at it, you could tell it was a considerably good sword, with a cool energy.
"Can you stop me? What do you think will happen if I do a little sword dance with this?"
Mok Wigun said with a grin. At those words, everyone felt a shiver. Having seen the commotion he had caused a little while ago, they couldn't take Mok Wigun's words lightly.
"Hah. He's really a crazy bastard."
"They say his martial arts aren't weak either. But if he runs wild with that, wow. It's terrible, terrible!"
People whispered, trembling in fear. The Red Tiger Unit captain, who had been ordered to help the people, was also in a difficult position.
He couldn't hurt Mok Wigun. In that case, he had to subdue him before he acted up, but there was an obstacle. Light Wind Unit Captain Dan Bulseok. It was a headache that he had brought that guy. But he couldn't back down.
"How can we see blood between members of the same Mok family? Let's talk for a bit first."
At the Red Tiger Unit captain's words, Mok Wigun chuckled.
"Is what you guys brought not a sword, but a stick? I can't trust the words of guys who came in with something like that."
"Isn't it natural for a martial artist to carry a sword?"
Nok Jonggak suggested they go inside and talk first.
"Why go inside? Let's just talk here."
Mok Wigun said that and then walked towards a large tree on one side of the courtyard. The Red Tiger Unit captain and the main figures of the merchant guild had no choice but to follow behind. Dan Bulseok and Gu Mungoe also stuck close to Mok Wigun's side.
"So. What do you have to say?"
"We cannot do everything you asked them to return."
The Red Tiger Unit captain said. Seeing that there was no particular complaint, it seemed the merchant guild people had completely entrusted the matter to him.
"Cannot do it?"
"Yes. The amount is too large, and the time is too short."
Nok Jonggak said it was an impossible task and asked for a little understanding.
"Please also consider the young madam's face. Instead, we will grant what you want, Young Master, to a certain extent."
It was a considerable concession. But he hadn't started this to negotiate in the first place.
"Red Tiger Unit Captain."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Am I the type of person who would take back my words, considering someone's face? Or am I the type of person who pushes forward without caring about such things?"
The Red Tiger Unit captain realized that the negotiation was off the table. Mok Wigun had no intention of bending at all. But Nok Jonggak also hadn't created this situation to negotiate.
"Please reconsider. Even in the Mok family..."
Nok Jonggak's words ended there. His purpose was to subdue Mok Wigun from the beginning. He rushed at Mok Wigun like a hawk.
"Oh no!"
Dan Bulseok thought 'oops'. He was a little late in trying to block Nok Jonggak. The distance between the two was very close, and he had also been careless because a normal conversation was going on. But nothing could be an excuse for not protecting his master.
Dan Bulseok poured a terrifying palm strike into Nok Jonggak's back to protect Mok Wigun somehow. Hoping that Nok Jonggak would dodge. But in the midst of that, something caught his eye. The face of the master he was trying to protect. Mok Wigun was smiling.
"Huh?"
The Red Tiger Unit captain grabbed Mok Wigun's shoulder and collar and cheered inwardly. It was over now. He could just dodge Dan Bulseok's attack. But suddenly, his elbow tingled and his body floated into the air. And then he tumbled with Mok Wigun.
"Ughhhh!"
Bang!
Nok Jonggak's attack. Mok Wigun's scream as he tumbled with Nok Jonggak. The sound of Dan Bulseok's palm strike hitting the ground. These three things happened in an instant.
Dan Bulseok rushed over quickly, but Mok Wigun was already standing up a little distance away from Nok Jonggak.
"Kraaaak!"
Mok Wigun screamed, clutching his arm. Blood was flowing from his arm.
"You crazy bastard!!"
Mok Wigun shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Hey. You all saw it, right? The Red Tiger Unit captain attacking me. Huh?"
People were flustered by the sudden situation. The Red Tiger Unit captain had attacked the third young master of the Mok family, and he was bleeding. A very shocking situation. Everyone was frozen as if they were frozen.
"How dare you try to kill me? Me, the third young master of the Mok family? Who ordered you? Huh? Was it Lady Jang?"
Mok Wigun approached the Red Tiger Unit captain and poured out angry words.
"N-no, sir. Why would I... I was just trying to subdue you..."
Red Tiger Unit Captain Nok Jonggak waved his hands and shook his head from side to side. He tried to make some excuse. But Mok Wigun didn't give him a chance and pushed on.
"Is stabbing with a knife what you call subduing these days? Look at this. This. Ughhhh!!"
Mok Wigun shouted and then screamed, shaking his blood-stained hand.
"Those guys are also in on it, right? Right? You came here together to kill me now, right?"
Mok Wigun pointed his finger at the Red Tiger Unit. The Red Tiger Unit members all shook their heads and stepped back.
"No... no, sir."
But Mok Wigun didn't even pretend to listen to their words and said in an angry voice.
"Light Wind Unit, what are you doing? Subdue all those bastards."
"Yes! Young Master!"
Dan Bulseok and Gu Mungoe rushed at the Red Tiger Unit with very angry faces. As soon as the words fell, the two of them flew without any delay.
"No. So this is..."
The Red Tiger Unit couldn't respond properly. After a few of them were thrown out in confusion, they finally began to fight back against the two Light Wind Unit members.
Dan Bulseok and Gu Mungoe's martial arts had improved a little. Their momentum was also better. But it was not an easy task to subdue twenty enemies. Because the Red Tiger Unit was also composed of skilled martial artists.
When they counterattacked, the two Light Wind Unit members were helplessly pushed back. How could they stand against attacks coming from all sides? The two of them were fighting back to back, but the situation was absolutely disadvantageous.
"Hey! Everyone, look here."
Mok Wigun's sudden shout. Everyone stopped their fists and looked towards Mok Wigun. And there were Mok Wigun and Nok Jonggak. In Mok Wigun's hand was a sword, and that sword was pressed against Nok Jonggak's neck.
"If you want to see your captain die, keep fighting. Or everyone, get on the ground."
The Red Tiger Unit members looked at each other's faces, not knowing what to do.
"Wow. There are quite a few kids who want you to die. You should have been a little nicer usually."
Mok Wigun moved the sword a little, and a drop of blood formed on Nok Jonggak's neck.
"Can't you get on the ground right now?"
Only when Nok Jonggak shouted did the Red Tiger Unit members begin to get on the ground one by one. Mok Wigun confirmed that everyone was on the ground and then said.
"Captain Dan, Gu Mungoe. Tie all those guys up."
And he turned his head towards the merchant guild people and smiled.
"And we need to talk, right? Phew. I like it best at times like these."
At Mok Wigun's words, the faces of the merchant guild people turned ashen.
