Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 347



Only Noblemtl

347. The Eve of the Storm (3)

Seonju, who had been quietly watching Hanbin, relaxed his expression.

In his opinion, Hanbin didn’t seem like such a bad person.

Of course, this was possible because in the ship owner’s memory, Hanbin only appeared as the disguised Jeokryong Daehyeop.

Hanbin, standing before the captain’s eyes, was nothing more than a handsome young man.

The captain looked around.

The unmanned forces of Sapha and Jeongpa are looking only at the young man and himself.

The young man’s status was probably very high.

For a moment, the captain’s eyes lit up slightly.

Isn’t a crisis an opportunity for a businessman?

As he escaped the brink of death, his merchant instincts suddenly came alive.

Seol-hwa, who was watching them from fifteen steps away, smacked her lips.

Cheonghwa asked at that sight.

“Hey, you’re making that kind of expression? Sister.”

“I feel like that guy, the captain, has touched the whiskers of a sleeping tiger… … .”

But Seolhwa didn’t show a worried expression. Instead, she looked at the place as if she found it interesting.

Cheonghwa’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

“Then can I prepare it this time?”

“Okay, you can get ready, I’ll pack it for you.”

After finishing speaking, Seolhwa organized the items she had previously used in her contract with Seo Jae-oh and handed them over to Cheonghwa.

Cheonghwa, who received the bundle, looked at Hanbin quietly.

I was so nervous I didn’t even blink.

That was because Hanbin was ready to run as soon as he snapped his fingers.

As Seolhwa and Cheonghwa became interested in Hanbin, the rest of the people slowly gathered around.

The warriors of the Apostolic Alliance and the warriors of the Justice Alliance were both interested in Hanbin.

I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of conversation Hanbin was having.

They didn’t take their eyes off Hanbin as if they were watching a master’s performance.

Hanbin continued his conversation with the captain, not caring about everyone’s gaze.

Of course, I haven’t snapped my fingers yet.

He just looked at the captain as if he was curious.

Now the ship owner, having learned that the red sword had fallen into Hanbin’s hands, was demanding its price.

“… … It looks like a political party, but you wouldn’t just take it away, right? After all, wasn’t it the one I brought for you?”

Well, it wasn’t like he was claiming it as his own.

He wanted me to pay for it since he found it for me.

Hanbin said with a grin.

“Of course I should give an example.”

Hanbin changed his tone slightly. The captain didn’t notice Hanbin’s changed attitude and held out his hand.

“Then please calculate the price.”

“There is one problem.”

“Please tell me what it is.”

“I thought that woman was the one who found it, wasn’t she?”

“That’s true, but that woman owes me money. So their stuff is mine too.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“so…….”

“But unfortunately, I stored it incorrectly.”

“yes?”

The captain’s eyes widened.

In that moment, Hanbin crouched down and pulled the Yongrin Sword out of its scabbard.

Sling.

The Yonglin Sword was pulled out of its scabbard and revealed.

The Yonglin Sword was fused together into one, unlike before. However, its shape was definitely strange.

The surface was rough and had bluish-green rust spots here and there.

The blade was so blunt that it seemed impossible to cut a single sheet of paper with it.

The ship owner did not understand the current situation.

The strange aura I had seen earlier had disappeared without a trace, and all that was left were hideous iron skewers!

“What the heck is this… … .”

“Didn’t I tell you? You stored it wrong.”

“That’s not me.”

“You’re not like that? What’s that rope made of?”

“If it’s rope material… … .”

The captain trailed off and looked at the rope he had wrapped around the sword.

It wasn’t any special rope.

“It’s just a rope made of twisted straw. It’s just a common rope that can be used to secure cargo, but it can’t be used on a ship. What’s the problem with that?”

“Yes, that straw is the opposite of this sword. And it doesn’t do much good in human hands. Now this black sword has lost its status as a treasured sword and has become an ordinary iron skewer. How are you going to take responsibility for that?”

Hanbin held his sword in front of the ship owner’s nose.

The warriors of the Justice Alliance and the Sado League, who were watching this scene, all gasped in unison.

“Oh, the sword is gone.”

“That’s true. In the case of swords, there are many cases where the method of storage is unique.”

“That’s right, the North Sea’s Eternal Ice Sword melts after three years if it leaves the area.”

“Is that all? I heard that the Iron-Blooded Beast Sword of the Namman Beast Palace, on the other hand, breaks when placed in a cold place.”

“Haha, the author made a mistake.”

As they were making a fuss, one of the Apostolic Corps’ warriors tilted his head.

“Now that I think about it, that’s… … .”

“But why?”

“Isn’t that the sword of the Red Dragon?”

“Huh, then… … .”

“What on earth did the author do?”

“I don’t think I can repay it even with my life.”

They took a step closer to Hanbin and Seonju.

And then everyone clenched their teeth.

Because I empathized with the situation without even realizing it.

What kind of entity is Bogum?

If I had to pick three conditions for becoming a master, I would pick internal energy, beginner’s skills, and weapons.

But, one of them flew away.

Hanbin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, not caring about their gazes.

It was only when the captain saw that smile that he realized something was wrong.

He racked his brain trying to figure out a way out of this situation.

Seon-ju, who had recalled all the conversations he had had with Han-bin up to that point, quickly opened his mouth.

“I wrote the rope, but it was the child who touched it with his hand.”

The captain pointed at the infant with his finger.

In that moment, everyone’s attention turned to Young-ah and Mu-jin.

At that sight, Hanbin continued speaking.

“I heard earlier that they owe you a debt? That’s why all that woman’s things are yours.”

“… … .”

“Then isn’t that woman’s fault yours too?”

“Huh? What do you mean? That’s because I’m speaking nonsense… … .”

“So you’re saying it has nothing to do with that woman?”

“Yes, yes. It doesn’t matter at all.”

“Then write a confirmation form.”

“The paper… … .”

“You have to figure it out yourself, just take out any piece of paper.”

“Yes, I understand. I will write it right away.”

The captain began to search through his belongings.

He took a piece of paper out of his pocket.

But by mistake several pieces of paper were attached.

For a moment, Hanbin narrowed his eyes.

When I used the eye’s slit, the contents on the scattered paper began to appear clearly.

At this moment, it felt like time had stopped for Hanbin.

Hanbin snatched one of the pieces of paper.

Whoosh.

The startled captain cried out.

“What are you doing now… … !”

“fizzle!”

Hanbin unfolded the paper, putting his index finger to his lips.

Then he said with a smiling face.

“This is a promissory note.”

“omg.”

The captain steps back with his mouth open.

It was as if he was prepared to run away at any moment.

Hanbin immediately reached out his hand.

Pick!

He took a blood test on the captain’s thigh.

In that moment, the captain collapsed on the spot.

The blood vessel that Hanbin had subdued only paralyzed the lower body.

But the captain couldn’t say anything.

He was just shaking as if he was afraid.

Hanbin continued speaking, raising his voice slightly.

“But the person who lent it to me is listed as ‘Mujo.’ Who is Mujo?”

At Hanbin’s shout, Mujin, who was about ten steps away, was startled and stood up from his seat.

“This is my father.”

“Come here and take a look.”

“yes.”

Mujin came running in one stride.

Some of the warriors from the Justice League and the Apostolic Alliance also came running.

They were natives of this village.

While they were swallowing dry saliva, Hanbin continued speaking.

“The name of the person who borrowed it is listed as ‘Sim Sam-jo.’ Who is Sim Sam-jo?”

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet.

Hanbin glanced at the man named Mujin.

Mujin’s eyes were trembling without mercy.

Mujin, who had barely managed to control his emotions, continued speaking.

“I am the author.”

“Are you sure about the interest?”

Hanbin looked at the captain, tapping his temple.

Then he took the rest of the paper out of his bosom and unfolded it.

Hanbin unfolded the paper and read out the names of those who had lent it to him, one by one.

Every time the name came out, the surroundings started to buzz.

People began to gather around Hanbin.

What was even more surprising was that there were not one, but two loan certificates with the same content.

The only thing that was different about those two cards was the names of the lender and the borrower.

Hanbin knew this case very well.

It was a method used by inexperienced people to forge signatures.

Since he is not confident about his forged signature, he keeps the original and does not throw it away.

From what I’ve heard, the beginning of the incident was simple.

The ship owner, Sim Sam-jo, was in debt to the village elders for quite some time before the epidemic broke out in the village.

The purpose was to purchase many ships and start a business.

But when a flood came and all the boats were washed away, Sim Sam-jo was left penniless.

Now, all that remains is debt.

However, after the flood, an epidemic broke out and the village leaders died.

In a situation where not only the village elders but also their families were in mourning, Sim Sam-jo went into their house and forged a loan agreement.

But his crimes didn’t end there.

The loan certificate was forged and the names of the borrower and lender were switched.

He demanded money from the bereaved family using forged loan certificates.

With most of the older adults having died from the pandemic, it would have been like swimming with your feet on the ground trying to fool those left behind.

Thanks to this, he became a wealthy man living a luxurious life in this town, and the family that had been ripped off by him fell into ruin overnight.

Past life experiences played a big role in revealing this process.

In fact, Hanbin didn’t like the captain’s actions from the beginning.

But upon closer inspection, I found out that he had memories from his past life.

He was a merchant who amassed enormous wealth by procuring weapons during the Battle of Jeongma.

The moment he recalled that memory, Hanbin’s mind changed.

At first, I only wanted to save Mujin, but I couldn’t just leave him alone.

The young men were unable to complete their military service because of the defective weapons he sold.

How can one survive on the battlefield when the sword that meets the enemy breaks instantly?

For that reason, Hanbin had investigated Sim Samjo in his past life.

Originally, it was meant to be slow-paced, but all the evil deeds were unexpectedly revealed.

Hanbin didn’t know that he would be carrying around both the forged loan certificate and the original loan certificate at the same time.

In any case, the bud of any possible future incidents has been nipped in the bud.

When the situation was somewhat resolved, Hanbin raised his hand again.

Exactly!

When Hanbin snapped his fingers, this time Cheonghwa came running.

Cheonghwa opened her bundle just like Seolhwa.

Hanbin tilted his head as he watched the scene.

Because Cheonghwa’s eyes became red like a rabbit’s.

“Cheonghwa, why are your eyes so… … .”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Cheonghwa waved her hand. It couldn’t be said that she hadn’t blinked until now to bring the bundle containing the writing brush and ink.

Hanbin wrote a letter.

Then he called over one of the warriors who appeared to have been injured by the ship’s captain.

“You just have to hand over the ship owner, this letter, and the rest of the evidence to the authorities.”

“Even if I hand it over to the authorities… … .”

“You don’t have to worry about that. No magistrate would go so far as to ignore this letter.”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

That smile gave confidence to the injured Musa and Mujin.

One of the warriors who received the letter bowed with his head touching the ground.

Then he shouted with all the energy he could muster.

“Thank you, Jinryongsohyup!”

The cry spread like an epidemic.

“True Dragon Association.”

“True Dragon Association.”
