88 Gosu Jin (2/2)
”Yeah, you should just die and stop wasting our clan resources honestly,” laughed one of the bullies evilly.
”Hahaha yeah! What a waste and even after the death of your sister, you still haven't learned your lesson yet and still worthless,”
The name of this young man that was getting harassed by the bullies is called ”Gosu Jin,” and he was the only son of the seventh master of the Jin Clan named ”Woo Jin”, which is his father. And like father and son, they're both the weakest family in the Jin Clan, so as a result, their clanmates tend to look down on them a lot.
Besides that, he also had a younger sister, but something happened in the past in one of the dungeons in this continent, so as a result, his younger sister disappeared.
As of where his younger sister disappeared to, no one knows but many just assumed that she's already dead because she's didn't come home for years. Due to his sister's disappearance or death, his mother ended up becoming sick due to the fact that she couldn't handle the loss of her daughter.
The truth is, Gosu wasn't a weak child and in fact, he was the strongest young master in his childhood years. And because he was so talented when he was a child, it ended up creating a lot of jealously among his clanmates and because of that jealousy, he ended up getting poisoned.
It is unknown what kind of poison he drank, but one thing he knows for sure, is that someone put it in his tea without him knowing. And because of that poison, his power ended up weakens, and the highest level he could reach is Lv. 1000, and after that no matter how much he trains, he can't progress anymore.
In another word, Level 1000 is the maximum level he could reach and anything higher than that, the poison in his body restricted him.
At the same time, when his father found out that he was poisoned by someone, naturally his father was furious, but no matter how hard his father tried to find the culprit, it just seems not to work.
However, Gosu suspected that it must be one of his uncles who did it, but because Gosu has no proof, so he couldn't really do anything. Nevertheless, his uncles are not the only one that he suspected, but also his fellow rival called ”Tae Gon,” from the Gon Clan.
The reason why he doubts Tae Gon is because of Seo Yoon, the girl that was betrothed to him when he was a child. At that time, he was a promising prodigy, so that's why the Yoon Clan willing to betrothed their most beautiful girl to him.
Of course, that's not the only reason why the Yoon Clan betrothed Seo Yoon to him, but also because his father Woo Jin is a good friend with the Yoon Clan's leader, so that's why the arranged marriage was successful.
However, when the Yoon Clan found out that Gosu's level is stuck at level 1000, they obviously weren't happy. But because the Yoon Clan's leader has good ties with Gosu's father, so they didn't change their mind and still proceeded to continue the arranged marriage.
Of course, Tae Gon wasn't happy with that because he loves Seo Yoon, so obviously he was extremely jealous of Gosu and wanted Gosu dead no matter what.
However, killing Gosu alone doesn't satisfy his hatred, so in the end, Tae Gon chose to put poison in Guso's drink instead, because he wants to see Gosu suffer by being hopeless, or unable to level up.
Of course, Tae Gon didn't put the poison directly in Gosu's drink, instead, he teams up with Nam Jin, who is the current Clan Master of the Jin Clan.
Nam Jin is basically Gosu's uncle or his father's oldest brother. And just like Tae Gon, Nam Jin also doesn't like Gosu and Woo Jin, which is why they teamed up together and plotted on Gosu's family.
Once the bullying stopped, Gosu got up and slowly walked back to his courtyard. Of course, his entire body was bleeding and bruises, but at this point, he's already used to it, so he doesn't care anymore.
In fact, he has always wanted to kill himself all this time, but because of the girl he loves Seo Yoon, that's why he decided to continue living. As for Seo Yoon, she too also loves Gosu even though Gosu's level is low, but she doesn't care because she loves Gosu for who he is.
In fact, their arranged marriage is about to take place one month from now and Gosu is extremely looking forward to it. Of course, Gosu knew he's going to receive a lot of hate from the public, but he doesn't care because he loves Seo Yoon.
However, this is just what he thought in his mind, but lately, Seo Yoon has been avoiding him and also extremely cold toward him. He tried asking her why, but she refused to say anything to him.
Nevertheless, he's not bothered at all because he figured out that Seo Yoon must've had her own reason why she's not telling him.
