The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 86

"From the government office? What do you mean by that?"

Mok Wigun had a bad feeling. He wondered what kind of trouble he had caused again. But Lady Jang said she didn't know either.

"I also heard about it... A government official from Chang'an contacted me saying there was a problem, so the general manager is looking into it now."

What's the use of talking more when she says she doesn't know?

'I'm on my way to Chang'an anyway, so I'll have to go and check.'

Mok Wigun said to Lady Jang.

"I'm telling you in advance just in case, but if you've played any tricks, you'll regret it greatly."

"Tricks? We were also at a loss because we were suddenly contacted."

Lady Jang, who was rather angry. Mok Wigun thought he would have to investigate first and then take action.

"Then let's sort out the problem between us after checking."

"Let's do that."

He had planned to sort it out today, but things had gotten strangely twisted. Mok Wigun left the Mok family, having come for nothing. But as Mok Wigun went outside, Mok Wipyong came in.

"Mother. Please change your mind now. It's dangerous."

"You weak-hearted fool! If we get pushed back now, it's the end. We have to take what we can."

"Do you think it will work when Wigun's momentum is piercing the sky?"

Mok Wipyong sighed deeply.

"Honestly, I survived because of Wigun. And even without that, we have enough to live on, so please give up."

"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Did something happen to your head after you went to Mount Xiaohua?"

Lady Jang snapped venomously. Mok Wipyong, who would have cowered in fear in a normal situation. But he said everything he had to say.

"Wigun is a really dangerous guy. It's better not to touch him, even for the sake of the Mok family or the Jang family."

Lady Jang stared at her son. He had been like a spoiled child all this time, but after returning from Mount Xiaohua, he had suddenly become a little strange. It seemed he was showing signs of aging, and he also seemed to be intimidated.

"I know what you're worried about. But the situation is not good right now."

The Mok family was about to collapse. The Jang family was a little better because they had the Red Tiger Squad, but they would be busy just protecting what they had.

"So we have to take as much as we can. If we don't, we'll be ruined too."

"You could be really ruined trying to take that little bit."

"It's fine. We decided to make it look like the government official in Chang'an had planned it."

She had decided to give him a big share. Whether the work succeeded or not. Instead, even if he was caught, it was all because that government official was greedy. If that official just kept his mouth shut, who would know?

"So there's no problem. And this is how everyone does it."

She had done it like that until now. So it would be fine this time too. Lady Jang soothed her son like that. But Mok Wipyong was anxious. But all he could do right now was sigh.

At that time, Mok Wigun ran into his older brother as he was leaving the Mok family.

"What's the matter?"

Mok Wicheon's sharp tone.

"I stopped by because I had something to talk about with Lady Jang regarding the merchant group."

"That's good. The Mok family is about to collapse."

Mok Wigun shook his head.

"It's neither good nor bad. I have no feelings."

"Is that so?"

Mok Wicheon seemed to agree, but he suddenly raised his head and glared at Mok Wigun. And then he burst into anger.

"No! That can't be. Didn't you plan this too?"

"Me? I know that the Mok family decided and moved on its own."

"You can't fool me. You're the one who drove them into the gorge and made them all die."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Although there was some such intention, it was they themselves who had decided and moved. They were eaten by their own greed. Mok Wigun shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't know what he was talking about. Mok Wicheon, who saw that, laughed in a dejected way.

"That's right. There's no evidence."

His voice was dejected, a complete contrast to his anger just a moment ago.

"I'm also going to leave the Mok family."

"What about mother? She seemed to be in a lot of shock."

"It won't get any better just because I'm here, so I'll have to tell her to go to her maternal family."

Mok Wicheon seemed to think that the Mok family was already ruined. He continued to glare at Mok Wigun with eyes full of hostility. Then he burst into anger again.

"If it weren't for you, the Mok family would have been mine... You ruined everything!"

He was calm and then suddenly got angry. Mok Wicheon seemed to have suffered a lot of mental shock.

"You'd better be prepared the next time we meet."

"As you wish."

Mok Wigun walked on the path he was going to take.

'A lot has really changed.'

He didn't feel particularly sorry or anything. It was his own choice, and he had suffered a setback in the process. People make many choices in life. And they have to accept the results.

Everyone had made the same choice and had collided in one place. And the winner was Mok Wigun. That was all. Mok Wigun was planning to find his position and rights as a winner one by one from now on.

* * *

Chang'an is always a bustling place with people. But it was rare for such a large crowd to fill the streets as it did today.

"Wow. It's really amazing."

"Is that the horn of that monster? It's crazy. It's crazy. If that's the horn, how big is the body?"

Everyone was watching Mok Wigun's party, which was walking with the horn of the single-horned great serpent at the front. The crowd that had come out to see after hearing the news, plus the crowd that had followed from Mount Xiaohua, filled the streets with a huge number of people.

"What's all that?"

A man who was a lay disciple of Huashan asked the person next to him. He was curious about what all this was in the strange sight.

"Haven't you heard the news? That's the horn of the monster called the single-horned great serpent."

"No. A single-horned great serpent."

A legendary monster that he had only heard about in stories. But looking at the size of the horn, it was not something that could be commonly seen in the world. But what people said next was even more shocking.

"It seems it's really a legendary monster. They say a huge number of martial artists died because that and a human-faced spider appeared."

"Ah. They say even Bang So-eung, who is called the strongest in Chang'an, was seriously injured. The Huashan Sect is the same."

"The Mok family was also crushed, and even the Baek family and the Huashan Sect. All the people who had some power in this vicinity were hit."

He didn't know about the others, but the lay disciple couldn't stay still at the story of the Huashan Sect.

"Even the Huashan Sect was hit? Who was there from the Huashan Sect?"

"Who was it? They say the master named Sa Hongmyeong died, and Taeseokgwan was injured."

"They say less than half of the number that had originally come to Chang'an went back to the Huashan Sect..."

It was a shocking incident. Sa Hongmyeong and Taeseokgwan were well-known masters even in the Huashan Sect. But to think that such a disaster had happened. But looking at that horn, he thought it could be possible.

If the horn on its head was that big, how big was the actual size? That was not a creature that could be dealt with by human power. It was like a natural disaster. How could a person handle a natural disaster? But a question arose.

"No. Then who caught that creature?"

"They say a young friend named Mok Wigun somehow caught it."

"They say the Light Wind Unit also caught it together."

Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit. The lay disciple had also heard the names because he was in Chang'an. They were people who were becoming quite famous. But they were not masters higher than Bang So-eung or Taeseokgwan. So it was natural to raise a question.

"That's ridiculous. No. Are you saying they are superior to Bang So-eung or the Huashan Sect masters?"

"Who knows about that? But they say the Shaolin monks saw it themselves."

"That's right. The rumor that Great Master Jongheo and Great Master Jongmyeong of Shaolin saw it is widely spread."

Shaolin had intentionally spread this story. As the huge sect of Shaolin spread it with determination, the rumor began to spread in an instant. It was all to break the momentum of the Huashan Sect, which had been rising recently.

The more the rumor spread, the more the Huashan Sect's reputation would be hit. Sa Hongmyeong had died, and they had suffered huge damage, but there was no gain. But Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit had caught the single-horned great serpent and the human-faced spider.

"Then it means that Young Master Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit are better than the others."

"I guess you could see it that way to some extent."

Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit received attention, and the Huashan Sect became a place that was inferior to that.

"Aish. Be careful with your words. How can the Huashan Sect be inferior to such people?"

"No. If you look at the results, that's the case. The Huashan Sect failed, and they caught it."

A person pointed to Mok Wigun's group, which was passing by with the horn of the single-horned great serpent at the front.

In fact, there was nothing to say. Because there was such evidence. But the lay disciple couldn't believe it. And this was a bigger problem than he thought.

If the reputation of the sect is hit, the lay disciples will not be well off either. The people of the lay disciples relied heavily on the reputation of the sect. Whether they were running a merchant group or a security agency, it was good to work when the sect was strong.

"I have to find out what happened."

The lay disciple thought he would have to contact the Huashan Sect. And how many people were thinking like that? Many people had already contacted them, and because of that, a meeting was being held at the Huashan Sect at that time.

"What is this?"

The sect leader of the Huashan Sect hit the desk in a great rage. The sound of a 'thud' echoed in the room.

"Our Huashan is inferior to a mere ronin group!"

"That's... it's not a ronin group."

A person who knew a little about Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit tried to speak. But the person next to him stopped him. Whether it was a ronin or not, what did that matter? The problem was that the rumor that they were inferior to an unknown group had spread.

"This is a rumor that Shaolin has spread with determination. They're trying to keep us in check by embarrassing us."

"Taeseokgwan couldn't even handle such a thing properly. Tsk, tsk."

If you jump into a job, you have to produce proper results. If it didn't seem like it, he shouldn't have jumped in at all.

"We have to sort it out somehow. Inquiries are flooding in from the lay disciples right now."

"If you say sort it out?"

It can't be like this. They couldn't just watch as it became known that the Huashan Sect had been pushed back by the guys who had just become independent from the Mok family.

"The rumor that Shaolin has spread will have to be officially denied."

"And we have to say that it was our Huashan Sect that caught the single-horned great serpent and the human-faced spider."

Everyone knows. That the Huashan Sect led by Taeseokgwan was busy running away. But they couldn't admit that.

Of course, since there were also people who were there, the facts also had to be mixed in appropriately. So that it would have credibility.

"Rather than saying we caught it, we should say we almost caught it. Sa Hongmyeong and the Huashan Sect martial artists fought with all their might and drove it to a near-death state!"

"Good. In the process, countless Huashan Sect martial artists were sacrificed. There were too many injured, so we had no choice but to retreat for a while. But Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit appeared and caught the creatures that were almost dead."

Everyone said it was fine. This would be enough to offset the rumor that Shaolin had spread. But just as the story was about to end, the sect leader smiled as if he had thought of something.

"Since it has come to this, let's also demand that they hand over the horn and skin of the single-horned great serpent."
