Chapter 79: One Shot, One Kill (1)

Translator: Hwarang

The person who entered the Mengju Pavilion was Yeom Hwa.

The t.i.tle decimator described him really well. He was muscular, had a big build, and his face looked like that of a wild animal. His eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with an evil look, and his face looked like it was from your nightmares.

He still had wounds on his chest. He didn’t put any medication or bandages around his chest since he believed that it made him look weak, so it was festering.

But in front of Ma Bong Gi, he looked like a well-trained dog.

“If we go on like this other Kang Ho-In will not even bother to give us face.”

“Isn’t Ho Yeon Nam already dead?”

“It’s not enough.”

“Then?”

“We must kill all who were present. So that they won’t disrespect us again.”

Sa Ma Chun who was standing beside him gave him a disdainful look.

Although Yeom Hwa gave him a look, he didn’t back down. Originally you were not supposed to act like this in front of a Chancellor, but Yeom Hwa was a man who was fearless.

Then Ma Bong Gi said with a smile, “One of their disciples committed suicide, rather some are saying that I should punish you.”

“The weak should all die.”

“Hahaha.” Ma Bong Gi laughed, “Go back to your place for now.”

“Understood.”

He marched out of the Mengju Pavillion and gave Sa Ma Chun a disdainful look.

“Since he didn’t complete his mission he rather should be punished. But him acting like that, isn’t that too brash?”

“He must be angry. He will be alright after a few days.”

“Why are you keeping him so close?”

“Since his skills are good and he doesn’t have much thoughts.”

“What?”

“There are not many people like him. The more skilled you are the quicker you roll your head. On the contrary you are someone who has many thoughts in his head. In your opinion would you like to have subordinates like you or have a subordinate like him who does everything without thinking?”

Sa Ma Chun couldn’t say anything. Although this was just a comparison, he knew what Ma Bong Gi was getting at.

“Of course I will pick subordinates like him. Since they will follow you like dogs.”

Ma Bong Gi started laughing, “Yes, even if they plot something they are still playing to the tune of your music. Hahaha.”

“The public sentiment isn’t on our side. It seems like we must cover up this case.”

“I understand.”

Sa Ma Chun left the pavilion. Ma Bong Gi was different now that he was the mengju. He just simply felt different.

The Information Sect was being created rather quickly. Silver and Spoon were very fast at doing their task.

“We are filling it with members who are reliable.”

“Don’t be bothered with the money, so please pick the best and the most reliable men.”

“Don’t worry.”

I started to trust them more, not only that, I was also treating them better.

“Yeom Hwa met with the Mengju.”

I told Silver and Spoon that while they were creating this sect, they were to watch any movement in the Alliance Headquarters.

“He is heading to the Best Restaurant [a]in Mu Han with the Five Divine Swords.”

The Best Restaurant [b]in Mu Han was the restaurant that I took Kw.a.n.g Du to a few days ago. It was rather close to the Alliance building so there were many famous people there.

“Why didn’t he go to some place that was quieter?”

“Well, from the beginning he wasn’t a man who likes the quiet. He likes to show off in front of others.”

“Good work. Please watch your actions from now on.”

“I understand sir.”

“New forget. The ones who are important are you, not the information.”

“Yes, sir!”

I knew that some words like this can become a great influence to them.

After saying that I headed toward that restaurant.

There were many people inside the restaurant. Rather than being customers they were more like people who were here to watch something.

“He is the Decimator Yeom Hwa.”

“Wow look at his size.”

“I heard he killed Ho Yeon Nam in a single blow.”

The restaurant was bustling with people talking. Since he was in front of them, who would dare to say anything bad about him.

Yeom Hwa was drinking his wine in the middle of the restaurant. It was after he finished most of his food and there were a couple of bottles of alcohol lying around.

The restaurant was empty since everyone left in a hurry after seeing him arrive. And they were all looking at him from the outside.

This was how he was able to use the whole restaurant to himself, so he drank without restraint.

And the Divine Swords were sitting diagonally in the four corners of him. They were taking up the whole restaurant for themselves.

These pieces of trash.

This was what I thought. The more of an expert you become the more you should try your best to not disturb these people.

But he was doing the complete opposite.

After getting the signal from Yeom Hwa the Divine Swords started pouring out what was in the box.

“This is the present that his lords.h.i.+p is presenting you.”

“Wahhh!”

People were quick to pick up the money that was lying on the floor.

Watching Yeom Hwa’s expression disgusted me. He had the look as if he was a king in front of all these people.

Through the crowd of the people, I saw someone.

A woman who was staring at Yeom Hwa rather than the money on the floor.

Surprisingly it was Number Seven.

Who would have thought that I would meet her at such a place?

Sensing that I was looking at her she looked back at me and we exchanged glances. However, she didn’t recognize me as I had a face alteration mask on back then.

When Number Seven turned her body to leave that place someone said something.

“Hey punk! Are you scared of the heavens?”

Everyone’s sight was turned to that person.

She was an elderly woman. She seemed rather tired as if she walked a long distance, but her eyes were still br.i.m.m.i.n.g with life.

Beside her was another young woman who looked like the elderly woman. By a single glance, one could tell that they had some sort of relations.h.i.+p with one another.

They used the money as an excuse to say something.

“Who might you be and do you know who you are talking to?”

“I am Mae Rang and the person who died because of you was my grandson Ho Yeon Tak.”

Surprisingly, it was Ho Yeon Tak’s grandmother. Everyone was surprised at her arrival.

But the person who was the most surprised was me. Hearing her say Mae Rang, I recalled my past. She was someone that I knew from my youth.

What surprised me the most was the girl who was next to Mae Rang looked exactly how she looked all those years ago.

Mae Rang and I were both from the same village, so she used to follow me and call me brother and she used to say that she was going to marry me when she got older.

This was when I was still a young and running around the Central Plains gaining fame so while I didn’t have any intimate feelings for her, but I considered her my little sister.

Whenever I came home I saw her, and she became more beautiful as time went on. But that was the time when I was crazy for strength that I didn’t see anything around me.

She lost interest in me after her she pa.s.sed her teens and from what I heard she fell in love with someone from the Ho Yeon School. It turns out that Ho Yeon Tak was her grandson.

It seems that fate was now playing its game on me.

Mae Rang looked tired as if she came a long way.

Then one of the Divine Swords said, “So you are the grandmother of that disciple who killed himself because he couldn’t protect his master.”
