75 Daedonggye 1 (2/2)
”Yeoni, what do you think of him?”
”He is quite a good Taekyeon player, but he cannot beat me.”
”Okay? How about the others?”
”The others are nothing. Even you can beat them.”
Her answer gave Ganghyuk comfort, but it offended him a tad bit.
While they were talking, Byon Sungbok came nearer to them.
It seemed at this very moment, the man feared nothing.
”Release our Pyeonsu first.”
”Pyeonsu?”
”Yes, fellows.”
”Ah, the man who looks like a weasel? We don't know him.”
Ganghyuk told him the truth.
It was true they did not know about Pyeonsu.
After Lee Hangbok took him, he never heard of any news of him ever again.
Although he told the truth, Byon Sungbok showed great anger.
He could not know why he was angry like that.
Was it because of the att.i.tude of Ganghyuk or because of his temper?
”You bothered the event of Daedonggye! I am really ready to kick some a.s.s! Hey, fellows, mess them up!”
”Yes!”
The fellows attacked Ganghyuk and his fellows at the command of Byon.
Some of them were still lame, but Byon Sungbok did not care.
He attacked Ganghyuk with all his might.
Hueek!
He could not reach Ganghyuk since Yeoni protected Ganghyuk, kicking off any of their a.s.sailant's attack.
Her kick held a tremendous power and Byon Sungbok fell on the ground.
With a blow, Ganghyuk could see the gap on their skills.
”What is this woman!”
”You talk too much.”
Yeoni attacked him without pause.
As she had trained herself harder after the masked man, her skills were more developed.
Soon Byon Sungbok had many bruises on his body.
'Good, it is okay now.'
His head is filled with nothing indeed. Empty vessels make the loudest noise.
Ganghyuk swayed his back with ease.
”Tang!”
With a blunt sound, one of the fellows was thrown to the ground.
Makbong and the Flail swayed clubs.
They could overcome numerical inferiority with superior quality.
”b.a.s.t.a.r.ds…”
Dolseok took a syringe from within his pocket and the fellows who were traumatized started to run away.
The trauma impacted them so strongly that they could not overcome their fear even if they are superior in numbers.
Then, Byon Sungbok was at a loss.
He was beaten by Yeoni, who he did not pay attention to at first.
”Goodness.”
He tried to escape from her attack, but it was impossible to run away from her.
While he was trying to find an escape from her attacks, he saw Yeoju.
She was standing alone.
”Go away, girl.”
He ran to Yeoju.
It was so sudden, Yeoni could not stop him.
”Eo, Miss Yeoju!”
”b.a.s.t.a.r.d”
Dolseok tried to catch him, but he could not make it.
Although he was inferior to Yeoni, he was far superior to Dolseok.
”Aiku”
Dolseok was kicked and was thrown on the ground.
Byon Sungbok kept Yeoju as a hostage with an unexpected swiftness in his movement.
”Stop, fellows.”
He grabbed the neck of Yeoju with his strong hands.
The white and fragile neck would be hurt.
Ganghyuk who swayed his bag and Makbong who was busy treading people could not help stopping their attacks.
”Wow, what a guy he is.”
”Yes, he is a cheap one. He talked about Daedonggye, but it seems that he must be a gangster in the marketplace.”
Ganghyuk and Makbong complained, but they could not help to halt their attacks from here. Since he had a strong hold over Yeoju's life, there was no other choice.
He could not lose Yeoju.
'The others are all injured.'
Fellows with good limbs had already run away.
The fellows on the ground were all heavily injured as they moaned.
Therefore, n.o.body could be a threat to Ganghyuk and his fellows.
Ganghyuk came closer to Byon Sungbok holding his bag.
Yeoni, Makbong, Dolseok, and the Flail also moved nearer to Byon Sungbok,
”If you come any closer, she will be dead meat.”
His voice was trembling.
He might think he could be killed here.
With that in mind, he might be think he would at least take someone in their group if he had to cross the afterlife tonight.
'Oh, my goodness.”
If they were in modern times, he could ignore the threat.
However, they were in Joseon where j.a.panese bandits attacked people and death was not an unusual occurence.
Byon Sungbok looked insane, too, while he looked at him from a short distance.
While he was thinking this, he saw something s.h.i.+ning under the moonlight.
It must be a syringe.
'Ah, Yeoju has one, too.'
She held the weapon to defeat him.
If Ganghyuk could divert his attention from Yeoju, she could make it.
”Ok. Take it easy…”
Ganghyuk left the bag on the ground.
With the small movement like that, Byon Sungbok shrank up his body.
He might be a coward like Dolseok.
”Don't come to me. Would you like to see her dead?”
It seemed he might not able to kill her.
When a person repeated a certain statement too often, it would mean he did not have the guts to do it.
With that in mind, Ganghyuk should still be careful.
He could not let Yeoju die.
Ganghyuk shook his head slowly and then looked at Byon Sungbok.
His face under the torch was filled with anger.
”If what you've been repeating is true and you would really kill Yeoju, we will not let you die so easily even if you beg for it.”
It was not an ideal talk.
A good doctor who can treat the patient well knows many ways to torture a person.
Byon Sungbok was startled at the remark of Ganghyuk.
”What?”
His voice was trembling.
”You will be dead in the most painful way possible if you injure Yeoju, you can't even imagine how hard we'll make you cry. Do you understand?”
”No, no. What is her name?”
”Yeoju. Why?”
”Are you Yeoju?”
In his face, an expression of gladness and longing was shown when he looked back at Yeoju.
