Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Hwang Gyesu tried to say something but fainted.
"Hwang Gyesu! Hwang Gyesu!"
It seemed he had overexerted himself after hearing Mok Wigun's voice in his extremely weakened state. For now, he carried Hwang Gyesu into the room he had come out of, laid him down, and gave him emergency treatment.
Mok Wigun, who came out of the room, called Steward Wang, who had just returned from outside.
"Do you happen to know where the Light Wind Unit members are right now?"
"Aigoo. They are all at the Mok family estate."
"The Mok family estate?"
The steward shook his head and said.
"The Wind Unit... they said it was the family head's order and took them to the Wind Unit's quarters in the Mok family estate..."
"Hah..."
A sigh escaped. What is this nonsense again? Why would the Wind Unit take the Light Wind Unit members? And by the family head's order? He couldn't understand.
"The Light Wind Unit really fought well. Six of them fought against almost a dozen and won. Then, after that, almost thirty people, including the Wind Unit captain, came and beat them up and stomped on them. Phew..."
"Wait. It wasn't just once?"
"Phew, don't even mention it. They all said they wouldn't go, but how they beat people up like that. My..."
He really thought someone was going to die. The steward shivered, saying he still gets the chills just thinking about that day.
"They only left Hwang Gyesu here. Saying there had to be one person to tell you, young master..."
Hearing that, he felt a surge of heat again.
"No. Are they all crazy?"
They saw everything he did. If he receives, he returns. Very clearly. But they knew that and still touched him like this?
"You son of a bitch. I was too gentle. Right?"
Mok Wigun grabbed his sword and immediately headed to the Mok family estate. He didn't even look anywhere else and went straight to where the Wind Unit was staying.
* * *
Mok Wigun kicked open the main gate of the Mok family estate and entered. And he immediately headed to the Wind Unit's quarters. But by chance, he ran into Lady Jang. She approached him, thinking he had come to give her an answer.
"So. You've made up your mind?"
"I didn't come here for that, so please move aside."
Mok Wigun said, barely holding back his explosion. But Lady Jang, as if she had gone mad, didn't seem to see Mok Wigun's state. She kept holding on to him.
"There's no time. Your father is greatly angered because you caused trouble in Chang'an."
So she urged him to make a decision quickly. Mok Wigun felt the back of his neck stiffen. If she were someone he could just hit, he would have already knocked her down.
"What are you hesitating for? This is all for you and for me. I told you I'd give you all the information. There's nothing difficult for you."
Besides, she was pretending to be concerned for her opponent while doing something completely shameless. An act of utter hypocrisy.
'They'll just watch, so I should do the sword dance?'
There's no way Mok Wigun wouldn't know her obvious intentions. But on the other hand, he thought it was quite amazing.
He didn't know what it was, but Lady Jang's situation didn't look good. That's why she must be making such a persistent proposal. But to talk with such a scheme even in such a desperate situation. As expected of a person who occupies one axis of the Mok family.
It was a proposal that someone who didn't know well or was greedy might have fallen for. Because the profit to be gained was considerable. Lady Jang said she would give him what he wanted, and there was also the profit to be gained by attacking the Jin family's side.
'But then I'll be turning the Jin family, who have been neutral until now, into an enemy.'
That alone was a loss that could offset all the profits to be gained. But Lady Jang didn't realize that Mok Wigun had seen through it all.
"I'm making this proposal at a loss because I'm in a bit of a hurry. So please."
A hypocritical appearance to the end. Mok Wigun pushed Lady Jang away strongly with his hand.
"You'll hear what happened in a little while. We'll talk after that, or not."
Leaving behind Lady Jang, who was looking at him with a dumbfounded face, Mok Wigun strode towards the Wind Unit quarters.
The quarters were in the rear garden of the Mok family estate. Buildings were built around a huge training ground, and a few people could also be seen.
"Oh. Third young master. What brings you here?"
A Wind Unit member recognized Mok Wigun and greeted him.
"Where is the Wind Unit captain?"
"Pardon?"
"Are you deaf? Where is the Wind Unit captain?"
Mok Wigun shouted, unlike usual. At that, the people inside the building rushed out.
"What? Why is it so noisy?"
One of the Wind Unit members said, pretending to pick his ear. An act that was clearly intended to insult Mok Wigun. Mok Wigun immediately rushed at the guy who had said that.
"Ugh!"
The guy tried to defend himself by performing a fist art, but his body spun in the air and then slammed into the ground with a 'thud'.
Thwack!
Mok Wigun's foot pressed down on the guy's neck and chin.
"Hey. You ran your mouth with just this much skill?"
The guy's face was distorted as it was pressed down. Seeing that, the faces of the Wind Unit members turned red. Mok Wigun didn't care and put strength into his foot. Then the fallen guy's face became even more ugly.
"Why? Did you think I wouldn't dare to touch you because you're a Wind Unit member? Huh?"
"Please stop."
Mok Wigun raised his head.
"Who was the one who just spoke?"
"It was me."
Seeing the armband on his arm, he was a Wind Unit team leader. Mok Wigun beckoned to the guy with his finger.
"You. Come here."
"Even if you are the third young master, you cannot do this to the Wind Unit."
Mok Wigun smirked.
"You're scared, right? That's why you're not coming and just flapping your mouth from a distance, right?"
At Mok Wigun's taunt, the team leader's face crumpled. Then he strode over. As if to say, 'I'm here, what are you going to do?'
"Shut your mouth tight!"
The team leader was firmly prepared. So when Mok Wigun threw a punch straight at him, he crossed his hands to block it.
"Huh?"
But suddenly, Mok Wigun's fist slid down and then 'thudded' up between his arms. It wasn't a huge attack, just a light tap. But the team leader had the strange experience of his arms raising up in a 'hurray' motion.
He tried to lower his hands again, but they wouldn't listen. It was as if his acupoints had been sealed, and he couldn't use his hands.
"Gah!"
Mok Wigun's fist accurately hit the team leader's philtrum.
"What about the Wind Unit? You said I couldn't do this?"
Thwack! Thwack!
He kept hitting the same spot. The team leader, unable to use his arms, was beaten one-sidedly in a defenseless state.
"Shut it tight. If you don't want to chew with your gums for the rest of your life because all your teeth are knocked out."
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Mok Wigun, hitting the same spot repeatedly. Everyone was overwhelmed by the sudden and bizarre scene and stood there blankly. At that moment, someone shouted.
"What are you guys doing? Stop him!"
Only then did the Wind Unit members rush in. At that, Mok Wigun drew his sword. With a 'clang', the blue blade glittered in the sunlight.
"Come on if you want to die. Why? You think I can't do it?"
Mok Wigun, speaking with a chilly smile on his lips. Everyone was overwhelmed by his momentum, and although they rushed nearby, no one could approach. It was because it seemed that if they got close, that sword would really rummage through their bodies.
A madman is scary when he loses his mind and goes on a rampage. Everyone just flinched and couldn't come closer.
"What is this?"
A booming voice hit their ears hard. The voice was imbued with internal energy, so everyone flinched. When Mok Wigun turned his head, the person he had been looking for was standing there. The Wind Unit captain had finally appeared.
"Greetings. I am the Wind Unit captain, Pyeong Gukdo."
The Wind Unit captain, Pyeong Gukdo. A person known to be the second strongest in the Mok family after Protector Jin Jaryun in terms of martial arts alone. People said he was about half a level above the family head, Mok Sonkwang.
"As expected, you have to beat the dog for the owner to come out. They just can't understand when you say it nicely."
"Your words are a bit harsh, third young master."
"Is this much harsh? Shall I let you experience something harsher today? Huh?"
Mok Wigun, speaking with flashing eyes and brandishing his sword. The Wind Unit captain looked at him for a moment and then shook his head. If he was going to go all out like that, there was nothing he could do.
In terms of martial arts, he was superior, but the opponent was the third son of the Mok family. The opponent would come at him to kill him, and he would have to avoid injuring him. Then, even if he won, it would be very tiring.
"Please state your business."
"First, bring the kids."
Although he didn't specify, everyone knew who he was talking about. Pyeong Gukdo nodded his head.
"Bring them."
A few members moved, and in the meantime, Mok Wigun was stepping on the necks of the two fallen guys.
"Young master. Please remove your foot."
"Don't talk. I'll decide after seeing the kids come. If you say one more word, I'll cut off one of your arms."
Pyeong Gukdo let out a deep sigh. He thought, 'Would he really cut off an arm?', but seeing what he was doing now, it seemed he would do it and more.
"Young master!"
Gu Mungoe recognized Mok Wigun and shouted with a tearful voice. The six Light Wind Unit members were brought, tied up. Their clothes were all torn, and their bodies were exposed here and there, and none of them had a sound face or body.
"Hah. Look at this. You brought them to me without even untying them?"
As Mok Wigun raised his sword as if he would rush at them at any moment, the guys who had brought the Light Wind Unit members were startled.
"No, sir. It's because we were trying to bring them quickly..."
And they hurriedly untied them. As their hands and feet became free, the Light Wind Unit members pushed away the Wind Unit members who had brought them.
"Everyone, come here."
The six Light Wind Unit members walked towards Mok Wigun. Most of them were limping, and one couldn't even put his foot on the ground as if one of his legs was broken. He was barely moving with support, but everyone's faces were brightly smiling.
"Wait."
But the Wind Unit captain blocked their way.
"Please release my members as well."
"An exchange... alright."
Mok Wigun took his foot off the guys and stepped back a little. Then a few members came and took the fallen guys away. In the meantime, the Light Wind Unit members arrived, and their appearance was truly a sight to behold.
"Is everyone okay?"
"We're not okay, young master. But it's good to see you."
Gu Mungoe said, sniffling.
"You foolish guys. Who told you to get beaten up like this?"
"We're sorry."
"We should have trained harder."
Mok Wigun said they had to get treatment first.
"Let's check your condition. Aigoo. What is this?"
Mok Wigun frowned. Seeing the members' injuries, his heart really felt like it was being torn apart.
"Is that all? Third young master?"
Although Pyeong Gukdo asked, Mok Wigun did not answer and examined the members. Because that was the most important thing.
"I will stop at this. But today's incident will have to be sorted out separately."
After saying that, the Wind Unit captain was about to gather his members and leave.
"Hey. Stop there! Who said you could leave as you please?"
Mok Wigun said to Pyeong Gukdo.
"Four more of you come out."
"Pardon?"
"Six of them are in this state, but I've only taken care of two of you. And very lightly at that."
Mok Wigun pointed at the six people and said.
"So four more of you come out. The calculation has to be accurate, right? Isn't it?"
