The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 98

Mok Wigun picked up a box. A strange box where a faint energy was felt and then disappeared repeatedly.

Click.

The wooden box was a little stiff. But it wasn't that difficult to open. The problem was what was inside.

"A wooden ball?"

It was a ball made of wood. Although it was nice with patterns carved on the surface and lacquered, it was just a wooden ball.

"What is this?"

Why is a strange energy being felt from a wooden ball? Out of curiosity, he picked up the ball and looked at it from various angles. But he couldn't find anything special. Then it was when he tilted the ball in a slightly different direction.

"Huh?"

He felt an energy. A dense and strong energy was suddenly felt. Mok Wigun once again examined the wooden ball in detail. And he found a crack.

He had thought it was a pattern, but it wasn't. It was two pieces joined together, and it seemed the pattern was carved to hide that. He carefully held the ball and applied force.

Little by little, the wooden ball opened. And a light came out from inside.

"This is it."

His heart trembled. As the wooden ball opened, Mok Wigun could feel an energy that wrapped around his whole body and rushed in. An intense and fierce energy. And a faint and deep green light. What was inside was a luminous pearl.

"How can this be?"

If he had known that there was a luminous pearl in the warehouse, it would have been robbed already. But no one knew. Who would have known that this precious thing was here? This luminous pearl would probably be more valuable than the entire assets of the Mok family.

Lady Son would have also tried to tell Mok Wigun when he grew up. But because she had died suddenly, that fact had been buried.

"It's fate."

This was what was connected by fate. If it were someone else, they would have seen it and not known. Only Mok Wigun could have noticed it, and it had come into his hands at the exact time he needed it.

"It's done! Now I can fix my dantian!!"

How much had he wanted it? Until now, he had had amazing skills but couldn't use them properly. Because his dantian was broken. But now it's different. Everything will change.

Mok Wigun reassembled the wooden ball, put it in the wooden box, and came out with just that. Although there were things like jewels inside, they didn't even catch his eye.

"Gu Mungoe!"

"Yes. Young master."

"Call the people and have them move everything inside to the manor in Chang'an."

"Right now?"

"Yes."

From now on is the real beginning. Mok Wigun came out of the detached villa and looked down. The Mok family and many houses. The farmland and plains beyond them. It was a scenery he had seen many times in his daily life, but today it looked different.

He felt like he was in his place. A place where he could look down on everything. And it will be like that. Because from now on, everything will be under his feet.

* * *

Baek Seokhu sighed day after day.

"The merchants are continuously leaving."

His eldest son, Baek Jongmun, said.

"I know. But there's no solution, is there?"

"But recently, they haven't been leaving anymore."

He had bought martial artists with money in a hurry. So he had barely maintained the previous scale. But if you looked inside, it was terrible.

He had only replenished the numbers, but in terms of quality, it was worse than before.

"What about Protector Bang?"

"It's similar. The physicians say it's a miracle that he's even this much better..."

Thud.

Baek Seokhu hit the desk. If only Bang So-eung was fine, it wouldn't have fallen like this. But he had been poisoned when he came out of the gorge. And because he had run away in a hurry, he hadn't received treatment in time.

"Hasn't Lady Jang come yet?"

"It's time for her to come..."

There was no choice. Since he couldn't stand alone, he had to join hands. Then he decided to join hands with Lady Jang of the Mok family, with whom he had some acquaintance.

It was an unavoidable choice. Although Lady Jang had suffered a huge blow due to the successive incidents, she still had a considerable fortune.

"Ah. I think she's here now."

When he saw a servant running in a hurry, Baek Jongmun said. As he had expected, a person came and announced that Lady Jang had arrived.

"Welcome. Lady Jang."

"Thank you for the invitation."

A meeting between families that had once been hostile. But now they were in a state where they had been gnawed away at what they had and had shrunk. So they were in a relationship where they had no choice but to join hands to regain their former glory.

"I think we'll be strong in the future with the Red Tiger Squad."

"I heard that the Iron Sword Squad has also been replenished and is similar to before."

They praised each other. They both felt a little better hearing such words.

"Do you have any plan?"

Lady Jang asked. The problem won't be solved just by the two of them joining hands like this. They are destined to continue to fall unless they surpass the Demon Dragon Manor.

"There's something I was proceeding with before. You know, right? The matter related to the Zhongnan Sect."

"Ah. There was that."

If the Zhongnan Sect is excluded from the Nine Sects One Gang, they have to give up all the benefits they had been receiving. He had prepared thoroughly to take that.

"Then you're going to take that and sort it out."

"No. I can't be satisfied with just that."

Baek Seokhu brought up a story he hadn't told anyone yet.

"I'm thinking of sealing Zhongnan. Then there will be a lot that falls."

"Pardon?"

Lady Jang couldn't help but be surprised. Of course, if Zhongnan is sealed, there will be more to eat. But how?

"Since they're being excluded from the Nine Sects One Gang, there will be people who are wavering. Within the Zhongnan Sect."

"I guess so."

"I used those people."

And he also received a little help from the Huashan Sect.

He recruited the people inside and guaranteed them profits. By promising them a decent position in the Martial Alliance or giving them assets.

"So it's in progress now. But there will be no way. Since most of them are agreeing with our side."

"I see. Well, if there was the help of Huashan..."

It was not that difficult to persuade the inside of the Zhongnan Sect. Are you going to stay on a sinking ship? You have to take something and come out. When he approached them like that, most of them came over.

"The Red Tiger Squad is safe, and our side's Iron Sword Squad captain is also fine. Protector Bang has also gotten a little better."

"But I'm worried because the Demon Dragon Manor is doing so well."

"That's not something that can be helped in a short time."

He had been hit so hard that he had almost reached a state of being unable to recover. The Mok family had been crushed as it was, and the Baek family had recovered a little.

"For now, after securing the source of funds like that, we can slowly grow it. Because money makes many things possible."

"Then what should we do?"

Lady Jang was glad that she had decided to join hands with the Baek family. After talking, it seemed there was a way to regain some of her former glory.

"Someone from Huashan is supposed to come a little later."

"Ah. From Huashan."

"When that person arrives, we can discuss it together and decide."

The Demon Dragon Manor was not a place that could be dealt with just because the Baek family and the Jang family had joined hands. Until a while ago, it was a place they didn't even care about, but it had suddenly become a huge and powerful group.

"It's a headache because the Chang'an magistrate is backing Mok Wigun. So the help of Huashan is absolute."

"I guess so. But if Huashan steps in, will they be a match?"

Baek Seokhu confirmed that Lady Jang was a good opponent to use. If the Huashan Sect helps? Will they help for free? They will take more than that. So there will be a very fierce battle of wits when they make a deal.

But after talking now, Lady Jang was a pushover. A person with a lot of greed but no ability. A perfect person to use and throw away.

"Since the enemy is strong, we have to join forces. I'll only trust Lady Jang and the Red Tiger Squad."

"Please take good care of me too."

And after a while, news was delivered that the Cold Sword Taeseokgwan had arrived. Baek Seokhu was also a little surprised. Because he hadn't thought he would come again.

"Are you feeling a little better?"

After introducing each other, it was a word that Lady Jang had said to Taeseokgwan as a greeting. Baek Seokhu wondered if she was a crazy woman.

The incident at Mount Xiaohua was a disgrace among disgraces for Taeseokgwan. A truly shameful incident that he didn't even want to mention. But to bring up a word that reminded him of that. As expected. A murderous intent appeared on the Cold Sword's face.

"Alright. Instead of talking about that, shouldn't we talk about the future?"

Baek Seokhu quickly changed the subject. Only then did Taeseokgwan's expression loosen a little.

Thud!

Taeseokgwan hit the desk and said.

"Huashan has decided that it cannot just stand by and watch as the Demon Dragon Manor deceives the world. Are you saying that you will monopolize the credit that countless martial artists, including Huashan, have fought for with their blood?"

He shouted and then said with sharp eyes.

"We will not stand by and watch the Demon Dragon Manor's future actions. To do that, we need your help."

"We will help with all our heart."

"I will do so too."

No matter what anyone said, he is the pillar of Huashan. Baek Seokhu and Lady Jang waited for what Taeseokgwan would say. Especially Baek Seokhu was busy rolling his head, thinking about how to respond depending on his words.

"To remove a general, you must first shoot the horse. We will first remove the places that protect or cooperate with the Demon Dragon Manor. And the first one is Zhongnan!"

Mok Wigun and Zhongnan had a deep connection from the beginning. But recently, Pyon Juksu had gone to Zhongnan, and he had heard the news that Mok Wigun would also be following soon.

"It seems he's trying to solve Zhongnan's problem, but we can't just stand by and watch."

"Then what should we do first?"

Taeseokgwan looked at Lady Jang and said.

"This time, Lady Jang's side will have to use its strength."

"What should I do?"

"Assassinate Pung Oksan."

* * *

Mok Wigun's heart pounded. Now, if he does the bone marrow washing and regains his internal energy, he will become the strongest in the world.

"Even if I regain just one-tenth of my previous skill."

Then there will be no one in the world who can be his opponent. And he had received a message from Pyon Juksu, who had gone to Zhongnan from time to time, and he said there had been quite a bit of progress regarding the potions.

"It's proceeding smoothly."

The biggest problem so far had been the training of the Light Wind Unit members. But now it had reached a point where it would be fine for a while even if Mok Wigun took his hands off.

He had also moved everything that was in the warehouse of the detached villa, and he had also handed over the medicinal herbs to Yuk Samcheon. So the work in Chang'an was also almost finished.

"Then I'll meet the magistrate and solve the biggest headache and then go to Zhongnan."

Before leaving for Zhongnan, he was planning to see the old lady once and examine her. And at the same time, he would naturally meet the magistrate and ask for the safety of the manor.

Although there is the Light Wind Unit, you never know. So if he sets up a safety device called the magistrate, he will be able to be at ease to some extent. Mok Wigun headed to the magistrate's residence with a happy heart. He had made an appointment with the old lady in advance.

"Welcome. Young Master Mok."

The old lady greeted Mok Wigun with a warm expression. Mok Wigun was also about to greet with a smile, but he suddenly felt a creepy feeling. So he looked in the direction where he felt the feeling.

"What's wrong?"

"No. I suddenly had a strange feeling."

Mok Wigun smiled again and sat down with the old lady.
