Only Noblemtl

Episode 144. Ally or Enemy? (4)

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon glanced at her own sleeve.

“Oh!”

She let out a pleasant sigh, for her sleeves were still intact.

This was a consideration for the other person. It was said that he did not throw the glass to test his skills, but rather offered the drink out of kindness.

You’re saying you can throw a glass without putting a strain on the glass or hurting the other person?

It is a story about the need for harmony between the outer and inner walls of the building.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon’s eyes narrowed as she guessed Hanbin’s level.

She nodded as if she had made up her mind about something and then pointed her glass at Hanbin.

There is a faint aura lingering in her hands, as if she is returning what she received.

The glass shone like a full moon.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who was looking at the glass with deep eyes, said.

“You’ve had a good drink, so I’ll give you back the glass.”

After she finished speaking, she threw her glass like an arrow.

Whoosh!

The wine glass split the space and created a rupture.

In that moment, everyone in the Red Blood Tiger Squad’s eyes grew even bigger.

The glass that Hanbin threw was not threatening. However, the glass that Hwangbo Seohyun threw was vicious in its force.

It flew towards Hanbin as if it were a mad dog running wild.

It wasn’t just the momentum.

Should I say, “I won”, or “I won”?

The movement of the glass was mysterious.

It seemed like they were flying without any rules, like a child’s scribbles.

Mysterious movements with a ferocious attitude.

I wonder if Hanbin can hold that glass?

Even if you try to stop it, the glass will shatter into pieces and scatter into shards.

However, Hanbin reached out to his glass without any hesitation.

Whoosh!

At that moment, everyone had to open their eyes even wider.

Hanbin grabbed his glass nonchalantly.

What surprised them was that Hanbin didn’t use any special techniques.

Hanbin accepted the glass as if he was receiving a glass from a friend.

Hwangbo Seo-hyun points her hand at Han-bin after throwing the glass.

Hanbin stopped moving after receiving the glass.

The two stopped, as if looking at each other.

In some ways, it looks like a sumi-e painting.

The surroundings began to stir at the strange sight created by Hanbin and Hwangbo Seohyun.

Among them, Joho tilted his head and whispered.

“What are you doing now, Mr. Jang Sam?”

“I don’t know. I can’t figure out why he’s doing that.”

Jang Sam tilted his head and answered.

“Could it be that he is just showing off?”

“Cool?”

“Usually when a performance ends, Peking Opera actors stand still like that.”

At that moment, Seolhwa grabbed Joho’s sleeve.

Joho asked quietly.

“Sulhwa, what’s wrong?”

“It’s not about showing off.”

“Then what is it?”

“Look over there.”

Seolhwa pointed to the space between Hanbin and Hwangbo Seohyun.

Joho tilted his head.

Because there was only darkness in that space.

Seolhwa said after seeing Joho’s appearance.

“Look closely.”

“Details… … .”

Joho, who had his eyes narrowed, could not continue speaking. It was because a thin line was visible in Joho’s eyes.

The line was rippling as if it was filled with energy.

What are these swaying lines they are seeing?

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon didn’t simply throw her glass at Han Bin to test him.

After tying a silkworm to a wine glass, he threw it at Hanbin.

The optical illusion of winning was created by sending energy to Cheonjamsa.

As Hanbin grabbed his glass, it now seemed like a showdown of internal energy.

However, Hanbin dealt with the situation calmly.

‘Self-inflicted wounds!’

This is the first step of the Yongrin Sword Technique that demonstrates the secrets of grafting.

Hanbin was sending back some of the aggressive internal energy that Hwangbo Seohyun had let out without any effort.

While everyone was surprised, Hanbin moved his left hand holding the glass.

To others, it looked like Hanbin was about to throw his glass back at Hwangbo Seohyun.

However, everyone’s expectations were completely wrong.

Hanbin poured alcohol into the glass.

And then I drank alcohol like nothing happened.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who saw that sight, stopped flowing out her internal energy.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon had no intention of harming Han-bin, so she appropriately released her internal energy to the extent that it surprised her opponent.

But, absurdly enough, that internal energy came back to him.

This is clearly a method of grafting.

I don’t know how this is possible, but now that Hanbin is drinking so nonchalantly, I don’t even feel like testing him.

It was natural, since she was beyond the limits of what she could measure.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon came down the wall while collecting the Cheonjamsa that had been sent along with the wine glass.

Whirl!

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who landed lightly with her sleeves fluttering, slowly walked towards Han-bin.

She stopped in front of Hanbin and said.

“I am Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, the head of the Hwangbo Se family.”

“I know.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin handed her a glass.

“Have another drink, Sister of the Head of the Household.”

“Is that okay, little brother?”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon accepted the glass nonchalantly.

After that, glasses of alcohol were passed around in silence.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon said, downing several glasses in succession.

“There’s a drink like this? It’s the first time I’ve tasted it.”

“This is a white azalea that is several decades old.”

“Oh, I guess there’s a fortune teller in Habukpangga?”

“Shall I introduce you to that arrangement?”

Hanbin asked with a smile.

This was sincere.

The person who arranged this was none other than Peng Dae-wi, the head of the Habuk Peng family.

Hanbin secretly took a few bottles of Baek-A-Ju and came out.

If you knew this fact, you would probably jump out of your seat.

No, if Peng Dae-wi knew that such a conversation was going on, he would have fainted.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon, who thought it was nonsense, took a sip of her drink and let out a hollow laugh.

“her!”

Then he looked straight at Hanbin.

It felt somehow familiar.

It felt like he was closer to me than my own nephew, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo.

Hanbin shrugged his shoulders after seeing Hwangbo Seohyun’s expression.

When I think about it, everything was just like my memories from my past life.

I think he must have called me old man at that time and then got stabbed.

First of all, it seems like we’ve succeeded in catching Hwangbo Seo-hyeon.

Now it was time to get to the point.

Hanbin continued speaking with a calm expression.

“Isn’t it said that if you are good at matchmaking, you get three slaps in the ear?”

“A slap is three times? Isn’t that three glasses of alcohol?”

As Hwangbo Seo-hyeon slightly opened her eyes, Han-bin continued speaking nonchalantly.

“Well, I’ve already gotten the alcohol. If you do something good, you’ll always get slapped. And that’s from the same five generations of the family.”

“What on earth does that mean… … .”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon looked at Han Bin and the Red Blood Tiger Squad, her voice trailing off.

The saying that doing a good deed and getting slapped seemed to be referring to Hwangbo Se-ga.

At that time, Hanbin continued speaking nonchalantly.

“Think about it. If a direct descendant of the Hwangbo family visited the Habuk Peng family and something like this happened, would you just stay still?”

“… … .”

“Is there a rule in Hwangbo Se-ga that says you have to leave your guests outside?”

“Hmm, but what exactly is a good thing?”

“I lent some money to Prince Hwangbo Gyeonwu.”

Hanbin took the contract out of his pocket and unfolded it.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon opened her eyes wide as she looked at the contract that Hanbin showed her.

Poisonous clauses lurking throughout the contract.

The problem was that the notary for this contract was an official from Hebei Province.

Moreover, it was explicitly stated that he was a representative of the imperial family.

If he kept his promise, nothing would happen, but how could his nephew, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, keep this promise?

Of course, it was absurd to say that Hanbin had done a good deed.

But, a contract is a contract.

Well, my goodwill towards Hanbin didn’t disappear just because I saw the contract.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon was doing some calculations in her head.

I heard the door opening behind me.

Squeak!

The huge gate of the Hwangbo family opened with a noise.

CLANG!

Finally, the door opened wide and a security guard came running.

The security guard who came running hurriedly asked Hwangbo Seo-hyeon.

“Are you okay, Your Majesty?”

“You ask so quickly.”

“That, that’s not it… … .”

“It’s okay. You come here and have a drink with me.”

When Hwangbo Seo-hyeon pointed to the seat next to her, the security guard answered in a dying voice.

“Oh, no.”

Someone held out a skewer of meat next to him, who was stubbornly refusing.

The guard’s eyes widened as the little girl held out a skewer with shining eyes.

The child was, of course, a fairy tale.

A security guard who instinctively accepted the skewer that Seolhwa handed him.

Everyone laughed at that sight.

It was a moment when the remaining tension dissipated like smoke over a bonfire.

It was about time for a cup of tea.

Urgent footsteps echoed from inside the wall.

Ta-da-dak.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the person who heard the sound was running towards them.

He was none other than Hwangbo Gyeonwu, the grand prince of the Hwangbo family.

Hwangbo Gyeon-woo quickly ran in front of Hwangbo Seo-hyeon and grabbed the ticket.

“Greetings to my aunt.”

“… … .”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon talked to Han-bin without even turning her head.

At that sight, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo spoke again.

“Auntie, so… … .”

Only then did Hwangbo Seo-hyeon turn her head.

But his eyes were not ordinary.

I looked at Hwangbo Gyeonwoo with eyes like frost in the middle of winter.

Then he stood up from his seat and shouted.

“Your Highness!”

“Yes, aunt.”

“What are you supposed to do when guests come to your house?”

“that…….”

“Is it okay to leave guests outside like this?”

“Auntie, this time the situation is special.”

“What’s so special about it?”

“I am a candidate for the Sogaju branch. I think it would be strange to just let them in without any particular reason.”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon tilted her head at Hwangbo Gyeon-woo’s words.

If it was the Sogaju exam, known as Gangbuk Ordeal, then it was a special situation.

The basic premise of this test was simple.

It made me realize that without the power of the family, I am nothing more than a speck of dust.

If you came here as a candidate for Sogaju, you should not be treated as a member of the Habuk Pangga, but as just a speck of dust.

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon turned her head and looked at Han Bin.

“Are you sure you came here to pass the test?”

“It’s a test… … . You got it wrong.”

“Then why did you come to Hwangbo Se-ga?”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon asked in a stiff voice, different from before.

However, Hanbin answered without changing his expression.

“It’s exactly as I said before.”

“If it stays that way?”

“I came here to collect a debt. And shouldn’t you at least know why I came and treat me with respect? That would be the rule.”

“hmm.”

Hwangbo Seo-hyeon coughed without realizing it.

Because everything Hanbin said was correct.

Even if you came for an exam, the first priority was to check it out and the treatment was a later issue.

But Hwangbo Gyeonwoo made a mistake.

The responsibility for that mistake is not only for Hwangbo Gyeonwu, but it could also become a stain on the family.

At that time, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo asked Hanbin in a trembling voice.

“Debt? What on earth does that mean?”

“It’s been a long time. Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Hwangbo Family.”

“I only have half the money left to give, but what the heck… … .”

“Isn’t it right to welcome the guests first? Your Highness.”

As Hanbin smiled, Hwangbo Seohyun joined in.

“That’s right. You take responsibility for this.”

After finishing speaking, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon stood up with her glass in hand and walked toward the front door.

At that moment, Hwangbo Seo-hyeon stopped walking as if remembering something and turned around.

Hwangbo Seo-hyun looks at Hanbin with curious eyes.

Hanbin felt the gaze and asked.

“Do you have anything to say, Lady Justice?”

“Let me ask you one thing.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Are you an ally of the Hwangbo family or an enemy?”

“At least they’re not the enemy.”

When Hanbin answered without hesitation, Hwangbo Seohyun asked with eyes full of anticipation.

“Then can I hear you as an ally?”
