Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 310
Only Noblemtl
310. No-Fold Association (5)
Because of this, it was a quiet village where only farmers who had already settled there lived.
The name of the village is also called Nakchon (樂村), after the river that flows next to it, Gullakcheon.
In a way, it was natural to remove the character ‘귀’ from the neighborhood name.
There was a house in that village that particularly stood out.
It was a large estate situated on the riverside.
One of the reasons people were reluctant to come to Guilakcheon was because of this estate.
The name of the estate is Nakhyangjang.
Nakhyangjang was a manor built by one of the officials who wielded power in the central government when he settled down here.
But that was a hundred years ago.
In reality, no one knew who lived there.
All I heard was a rumor that a rich man had taken over the place to raise livestock as a hobby.
Raising thousands of chickens and dozens of pigs, this place was creating quite a strong smell and noise.
The sound of a rooster crowing outside was sometimes so eerie that it was hard to tell whether it was a ghost’s cry or a human scream.
Even now, noise was echoing from inside the chicken farm.
Cockle- Eww!
Village children passing by tremble and run away at the screams coming from inside the wall of the funeral home.
“Huh, what is that sound?”
“Let’s go quickly. There’s a real ghost here.”
“Yeah, it’s scary no matter when I come here.”
As the children walked away from the funeral home, a dove flew up from there.
It was a pigeon with a letter tied to its leg, but since there were so many livestock in this place, no one paid it any attention.
Meanwhile, a warehouse in the corner of the retirement home.
Perhaps it was the chicken coop surrounding the warehouse and the sound of water flowing next to it that made the place look even more gloomy.
The masked man’s voice echoed inside the warehouse.
“Listen carefully. You said that if anyone tries to escape from here, you’ll kill two of the remaining people, right?”
The part of the mask near his lips is rippled.
Then he threw the bundle he was holding onto the floor.
The bundle rolled around and stopped in front of a man with white hair and the appearance of a Taoist monk.
His name is Zhuge Liang.
He was the head of the missing Jegal family.
Actually, it was not right to use the word missing.
Because no one knew that he had been kidnapped here.
I never dreamed that the Zhuge family’s procession would fall into a trap and be kidnapped like this.
Not only was he poisoned by the mountain spirits, but one of his enemies was so powerful that he could rival the ten best martial artists in the world.
Zhuge Liang had guessed the identity of the enemy, but he had no idea where this place was.
The masked man in front of him now was not as powerful as the teenage masters he had faced.
He seemed to be in the position of the master’s right arm.
He was now throwing down a bundle and urging me to check it out.
Zhuge Liang opened the bundle carefully.
At that moment, Zhuge Liang was struck dumb.
“hmm.”
In comparison, screams erupted here and there behind him.
“evil!”
“What the heck is that… … .”
That was understandable, for the bundle contained the head of one of Zhuge Liang’s escorts.
As Zhuge Liang tried his best to control his expression, someone shouted from behind him.
“You killed my subordinate?”
Although he didn’t use his inner strength, perhaps because of his emotions, his voice resonated inside the warehouse.
The voice of the protagonist is Jegal Myeong, the second son of the family head.
The warrior whose head was just cut off was none other than Zhuge Ming’s bodyguard.
When he couldn’t hold back and tried to move forward, Zhuge Liang stopped him.
“Calm down, Ming.”
“Father, I am the author… … .”
“Do we have the power to stand against the author now?”
“… … .”
Zhuge Ming could not answer. He realized that, as his father Zhuge Gongying had said, coming forward now was nothing more than a guest.
The masked man burst into laughter at that sight.
“Haha, as expected from Zhuge Liang. He’s very smart. He’s probably calculating in his head right now what our true identity is and how to get out of this crisis.”
“… … .”
“That’s how Zhuge Liang is. But, didn’t I tell you? If one person runs away, two people have to die.”
The masked man turned his gaze.
There was Zhuge Ming, who had come forward a little while ago.
At that sight, Zhuge Liang shouted urgently.
“Wasn’t the one you beheaded the one who escaped from here?”
Zhuge Liang pointed to the head rolling on the floor.
What he said was true.
I was attacked two days ago on my way to Sacheondangga.
Among them, there was one subordinate who was lucky enough to escape their clutches.
Zhuge Liang believed that his subordinates would convey their location to those gathered at Sichuan Hall.
However, he returned after suffering such a disaster.
Now the only person he could trust was his younger brother, Zhuge Liang.
Looking at the situation, it was clear that these people would make continuous demands on their younger brother, not just one time.
And his younger brother, Zhuge Liang, believed that he would find the line connecting here and rescue himself.
Even if it takes time… … .
At that moment, the masked man raised the corners of his lips and said.
“Now that I think about it, Zhuge Liang is right. But we still need to punish him. What kind of punishment would be good?”
He smiled faintly behind his mask and clapped his hands.
Clap clap!
At that sound, two masked men appeared silently.
One of the two masked men asked the leader masked man.
“Did you call, Daejoo?”
“This is great because I was bored. Hang what you prepared.”
At the words of the masked leader, the subordinate quickly took out a scroll from his bosom.
Then he hung the scroll on the wall.
As I hung the scroll, a picture unfolded.
The members of the Zhuge family had to tilt their heads when they saw the picture.
The painting was none other than a drawing of a human body.
If there was anything a little strange, it was that the bones inside were drawn in such detail.
Then the masked man spoke.
“Okay, now we’re going to start playing. These aren’t blood vessels, they’re bones drawn on the body.”
“Why on earth is that… … .”
“Do you know how many bones there are in our body, Jegal Gaju?”
“… … .”
“To be exact, two hundred and six. Two hundred and six. But how would I, a non-member of the National Assembly, know this much?”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Just shut up and listen. My hobby is extracting bones from living people. I’ll show you how. I have some toys here, so let’s just extract one first.”
The masked man smiled and pointed at Zhuge Ming.
In that moment, Zhuge Ming’s eyes widened.
The masked man nonchalantly took a peek at Zhuge Ming’s blood.
Pick.
For a moment, Zhuge Ming trembled without even being able to scream.
The masked man gave one of the medals to his lieutenant, Zhuge Liang.
“Here, grab this.”
“Why on earth are you giving this to me?”
Zhuge Liang truly did not understand the meaning.
The masked man laughed as if he found the sight amusing.
“Haha. Are you asking because you don’t know? I told you. I’ll pull out the bone that hits you when you throw it over there. You’ll have to choose carefully. Oh, and if you miss, I’ll double the number of bones you have to pull out from then on, so you know that.”
“You punk! Aren’t you afraid of the sky?”
“We are the sky. Phew!”
“… … .”
“If you don’t like it, should I throw it? I like the thigh bone. If you take that one out, ninety-nine out of a hundred, it’ll all fall apart. Not just physically, but mentally as well.”
After a while.
Inside the warehouse, Zhuge Ming’s scream echoed.
“Ahh!”
The masked man, who had pulled his bones out of his flesh, proudly wiped away the blood flowing from them.
Knock knock.
After wiping off the blood, he put the bone fragments he had taken from Zhuge Ming into his leather pouch.

Meanwhile, at noon the next day.
Zhuge Liang was able to obtain several clues through the letter.
The time the letter was placed and the servants who were nearby.
And through their affiliations, we were able to narrow down the suspects who brought the letter to four.
However, it was not possible to just catch them and beat them up.
If by any chance he were to cut off his tail and hide, his older brother, the head of the household, Zhuge Liang, would be in even greater danger.
Because it says in the letter not to tell anyone.
For that reason, he was moving secretly with only Jegal Hui.
Jegal Hui, who was following her, kept swallowing dry saliva.
He had been bickering and fighting since he was young, but he always kept in mind that when something big happened, the only people he could trust were his brothers.
It was Zhuge Hui’s father who taught him that.
But, my father and brother were kidnapped at the same time?
This kind of thing has never happened before in the history of Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang said after seeing Zhuge Hui’s expression.
“Hwiya, at times like this, you need to control your mind.”
“Yes, I understand, Aunt.”
“Yes. You have to be determined to save your family. And you know you can’t be satisfied with saving them, right?”
“yes?”
“What is our family motto? Isn’t it to repay both kindness and grudge twice? This grudge is repaid twice.”
“Yes, aunt.”
Jegal Hui clenched his fist.
That was when.
Zhuge Liang said.
“The target is moving. There are two of them, so if they split up, I’ll take the left.”
“all right.”
Jegal Hui nodded and disappeared from his seat.
Following that, Zhuge Li also disappeared.
In the place where they had disappeared, several pairs of eyes were gleaming.
One of the owners of those eyes asked.
“How long are you going to chase me?”
“I think I’ll have to chase after you a bit more. If it’s hard, you can go back, Seolhwa.”
“No. I like taking walks like this. You too, Cheonghwa?”
“I like walks like this too. Hehe.”
Hyunmun interrupted their conversation.
“Is this a walk?”
“This is enough for a walk.”
When Seolhwa answered, Hyeonmun quietly looked up at the sky.
At first glance, I thought he was just the youngest son of a reckless martial arts family.
And when I was enlightened, I just thought it was a high level of learning.
Of course, even the maids Seolhwa and Cheonghwa later realized that his martial arts skills were extraordinary.
Up until that point, I didn’t understand, but the two maids were now thinking of the stalking as a walk.
What kind of lives have they lived?
Hyunmun was convinced that he had lived a life full of ups and downs because he was born with the ability to kill thousands of people.
But now that I look back, I suddenly have the thought that maybe I had an easy life compared to them.
Then Hanbin said.
“Okay, let’s go.”
At the same time, four new models disappeared from their places.
How much time has passed?
The place where Hanbin and his group stopped was in front of a jewelry store in the market street.
Of course, in front were two figures from the Jegal family that Hanbin was tailing.
Hanbin was certain that a calamity had befallen the Zhuge family.
Their expressions said it all.
Their every movement was desperate, and their expressions were gloomy and endless.
The world’s greatest family, Zhuge Liang, suffered a calamity?
In fact, there are some parts that are a bit questionable, but since it was a place where the enemy was waiting with a trap set, it wasn’t strange for anything to happen.
It seemed that perhaps the Jegal family could be the biggest key in this incident.
Meanwhile, Zhuge Liang, who was following the workers, secretly winked at Zhuge Hui.
Zhuge Hui spoke with his mouth shape.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I’ll go to the back room and come back.”
“Yes, then I will watch quietly.”
“Okay. It won’t take long, so if you move, put up a sign.”
Despite saying that he was going to take care of business, Zhuge Li’s expression was serious.
