The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 35

"Kiya!"

Pyeon Jeoksu, who had downed it in one go, closed his eyes with a satisfied expression. And he lifted his head and stretched his hands upwards.

Crack

With a sound like bones breaking, Pyeon Jeoksu's body twisted. A strange sound continued to be heard as he bent at an angle impossible for a human body. A bizarre sight that made one frown. But Mok Wigun watched the scene calmly.

"That's a relief. Seeing that the effect is good, it seems to suit you well."

A red aura was shimmering around Pyeon Jeoksu's body. A phenomenon that appeared when his condition was very good. He had already seen it a few times.

"Khahahaha!"

After the twisting and the sound stopped, Pyeon Jeoksu laughed heartily. A red aura was swirling in his eyes. Then, after a while, he returned to his previous appearance.

"Good. Very good!"

"You seem to like it."

"Maybe it's because I tasted it after starving, but it seems better than wyvern blood."

That was high praise. Because what the guy had liked the most in that other world was the blood of a wyvern. Pyeon Jeoksu clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly. And then he also drew up his power with his palm facing up.

"I'm full of strength. Isn't there a little more of this? I'd like to drink it a few more times."

"It's hard to get. It was really a stroke of luck that I got this."

Golden Deer Blood is the blood of a golden deer, which is called a spiritual beast. If it weren't for the help of the great merchant Yi Jeonggi, he wouldn't have been able to get it.

He had been searching for Golden Deer Blood, but the World Merchant Guild had contacted him first. As a sign of apology for the last incident, they had connected him with the person who had caught the golden deer.

The golden deer is not easily caught, and even if it is caught, you can't get Golden Deer Blood at any time. You can usually get it about once every ten years, and the golden deer they had caught happened to be at the right time.

"Really? That's a shame. It was really good blood."

"How much do you think you've recovered?"

"Well? 30% of my original strength? It seems to be about that much."

If his original strength was 100, he could only exert about 10, but that had increased to 30. The effect was better than expected, so Mok Wigun was very happy.

"I understand why you want to drink it a few more times."

"If you can get it later, please get it for me. This is really good."

"Of course. I'll get it for you no matter what it takes."

If he has about 30 of his strength, there will be more places to use it. Now, he would be able to deal with most masters without using the Blood Explosion Art.

"Golden Deer Blood. Interesting."

Pyeon Jeoksu, as if he liked it, muttered "Golden Deer Blood" and licked his lips repeatedly.

"As expected, there are many strange and interesting things in this world too. This is really motivating me. I should focus more on potion research."

"Just succeed. I'll get you anything."

"Ah. That's right. About the elixir manufacturing method. I wish there were more materials."

Pyeon Jeoksu said that the things he had brought were crude in content and useless. Well, there's no way that a pill manufacturing method circulating in the market would contain great content.

"Actually, it's difficult to get in general. Because each sect keeps it a secret and doesn't let it leak out."

The value of an elixir manufacturing method is enormous. What would happen if it spread outside? Each sect protects the elixir manufacturing method more thoroughly than their own unique martial arts.

"Still, isn't there a way to get it somehow?"

"I'll look into it, but it won't be easy to get it in a short period of time."

If the guy just changed his mind, he could get it easily. He could just sneak into the Shaolin Temple or the Wudang Sect's library and take out the books. But the guy doesn't do things like stealing.

"If it were me, I would have just gone in secretly, looked for it, and taken it out."

"Are you telling me, the primordial vampire, the noble of the night, and the master of noble blood, to do petty theft?"

Pyeon Jeoksu got angry. The guy wouldn't bend his pride on strange points.

"If it were me, I would have just done it."

"That's the difference between you and me. It's just different, not wrong."

"I know. I know. I just asked just in case."

Once the guy starts being stubborn, no one can stop him.

"I can't help it. I'll try to get it somehow."

"Alright. And thank you. It was a joy I've tasted for the first time in a long time."

Pyeon Jeoksu said, his body trembling.

"Then I'm going to do more research. Don't disturb me until you get something good. Got it?"

After saying that, he went out, doing a shoulder dance. It was obvious that he couldn't control himself because he was overflowing with energy.

"It's good to see. Then I'll leave getting the goods to Heo Seongon."

This one was also obtained by Heo Seongon. Having worked at the merchant guild for a long time, he had a wide network of contacts, so he was perfect for entrusting this kind of work.

"But it's about time for some movement."

It was time for Lady Jang's side to move. And that's when he would raid the main camp properly. Mok Wigun planned to devote himself to training with the Light Wind Unit members until then.

"Anyway, the one in a hurry is that side."

When you're in a hurry, you rush, and when you rush, you make mistakes. Because your field of vision narrows, and you can't look around. So he just had to wait until the opponent made a mistake.

* * *

The general manager who had visited Lady Jang said.

"How about we make the youngest come here?"

"How? Do you have a good way?"

Lady Jang asked with joy. Because she knew that her uncle, the general manager, would talk like this when he had a plan.

"Doesn't the Family Head have a justification? If he says he needs to receive a report regarding the work of the head of the inspection team, he can't not come."

"Oh ho! Using the position of the head of the inspection team to call him. That's good."

Lady Jang said, lightly clapping her hands. But then she fell into thought again. To do that, she had to negotiate with the Family Head.

"What should I talk about? He's not a person who will do it for free."

"No. If we do it well, it might work for free."

"Really?"

Lady Jang's face brightened, and she looked at the general manager.

"The Family Head must also be a little burdened by the youngest. Just seeing the loud noise in the room that day, it's clear that their relationship has soured."

"That's right. That man is not a person who would just hand over a position like the head of the inspection team, so it was strange from the beginning that he handed it over."

General Manager Jang nodded.

"In that situation, if he keeps brandishing that power like now, the Family Head can't be comfortable."

"His stomach must be a little sore. And that knife could be aimed at the Family Head himself."

General Manager Jang smiled. He was a smart nephew indeed.

"What the Family Head fears the most is his own position being threatened."

"I know. I've been watching him from the side my whole life."

Mok Seonkwang hated it the most when someone coveted his position. Even his sons were no exception. So he had skillfully used his power to prevent any of the three sons from standing out.

When the Jang family's power was strong, he had supported Lady Jin's side, and when Lady Jin and Mok Wicheon were doing well, he had secretly helped Lady Jang's side.

"So if you just touch that well, he will move on his own. It would be good to say that the movements of the elders have been unusual lately."

"Good. The elders had many who supported Lady Son."

As he said that, General Manager Jang recalled something he hadn't told anyone yet. The thought that the Family Head might be involved in Lady Son's death.

No matter what anyone said, at that time, Lady Son's influence was stronger than the Family Head's. The reason the Mok family, which was only known in this region, became famous in the Central Plains was entirely due to the power of the Son family. The Family Head was very uncomfortable with that. And he hated that the elders followed Lady Son more.

"I will go and talk to the Family Head. It would be better for me to say this than you."

"As expected of you, Uncle. Then I'll leave it to you."

Lady Jang stuck to his side and acted cute. General Manager Jang immediately went to see the Family Head.

He first talked about the overall affairs of the Mok family. After talking about other things for a while, he casually dropped a word in the middle.

"By the way, it seems the elders have been gathering frequently lately."

"The elders? The old folks have good energy."

Mok Seonkwang laughed heartily.

"But they say that the story of the youngest young master often comes up at the gatherings."

"Wigun's story?"

Mok Seonkwang's face hardened for a moment.

"Isn't he the center of attention since he came back from the dead? The sparring match at the banquet, and what he did as the head of the inspection team this time."

"Haha. Is that so?"

He pretended to be calm, but General Manager Jang could clearly tell. That the Family Head's mood was very uncomfortable.

"Moreover, there are many words about what he did in the marketplace. There are also voices saying it's a disgrace to the Mok family."

"That matter, Wigun was thoughtless. Internal matters should be handled internally, what will people think of the Mok family if he causes a commotion in the marketplace like that?"

"That's right. It seems the youngest young master is still young and doesn't know how to handle things properly."

Mok Seonkwang nodded and tapped the newly brought-in desk with his finger.

"Well, he is still at an age where he doesn't know the work of an inspector well."

"That's right. So how about you call him and talk to him?"

"The head of the inspection team has the authority to act independently, so wouldn't it be a bit much if I got involved?"

General Manager Jang said no and spoke.

"The Family Head has the authority to receive work reports. So you can call him, receive a work report, judge the rights and wrongs, and take appropriate measures."

"Appropriate measures."

At those words, the Mok Family Head nodded.

* * *

"Why did you call me?"

"I called you to check if you are properly performing your duties as the head of the inspection team."

Mok Wigun was about to refuse the urgent summons, but he couldn't. It was because the Family Head had summoned him for a matter related to the position of the head of the inspection team.

There is no need to give the opponent an excuse by neglecting a trivial matter. If he loses a good position like the head of the inspection team because of that, it would be a huge loss. He would use it well until the term was over.

"You have greatly damaged the honor of the Mok family with what you did in the marketplace."

"That's right. You know how light people's mouths are, don't you? There are even those who talk as if the entire Mok family is a place that does such dirty things."

Protector Jin Jaryun said in a loud voice.

"To be honest, the merchant guild matter was too rash. It should have been handled according to procedure and the noise should have been minimized as much as possible. It seems you still don't know how to handle work properly."

Even General Manager Jang stepped up. The three powerful figures of the Mok family and Mok Wigun were in the room. But all three of them were attacking. Mok Wigun just watched the situation.

'They're all ganging up on me and having a good time chewing me out.'

That's how threatening they thought he was. Just seeing the three of them, who were not on good terms, ganging up like this, he thought that he was doing well right now. So when their words ended, he immediately raised his voice.

"This is good. I had a lot to talk about anyway. Instead of a few people talking here, I propose that we deal with the agenda at a full family meeting this time."

What is a full family meeting? It refers to a meeting where all the main figures of the Mok family gather to decide on important matters. The biggest event of the Mok family.

Mok Wigun had raised the stakes.
