Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 554
Only Noblemtl
554. That’s it (3)
This was more of a one-sided threat than a battle of wits.
The young leadership has somewhat lost momentum.
In fact, Hyunmu and Baekho were representative of the young scholars.
The reason why Hyeonmu-gakju and Baekho-gakju took the lead in testing Hanbin was simple.
When the current head of the clan, Peng Gawei, stepped down from his position, it was common for the older heads of the clan and the heads of the branches to also step down.
However, the young heads of the clan remain in their positions and assist the next head of the clan and the next head of the ruling party.
In other words, the young footnotes are the ones that Hanbin will have to face on the front lines.
The situation took a strange turn when Hanbin immediately suppressed their momentum.
The sight made Peng Kangwi’s mouth water.
The current battle for power was something that had been going on even before he ascended to the position of head of the household.
The head of the household is the right hand man of the household.
The leaders, including the elders and the footnotes, usually try to suppress the spirit of the next law enforcement leader.
Peng Kang-wi smiled strangely as he recalled that time.
The current ruling party leader, Peng Dae-wi, did not engage in a power struggle with the leadership.
I just suppressed them with force, invoking the law of self-respect.
But now Hanbin is trying to subdue them psychologically rather than by force.
Will it end like this?
Peng Kangwei predicted that it would take some time for this fight to end.
At that time, the young leaders looked somewhere.
What they were looking at was the hostess who was quite old among the leaders.
It seemed like he was asking for help from a senior hostess.
The hostess, who was receiving the gaze of the young attendants, reluctantly came forward.
The hostess walked out slowly and stood in front of Hanbin.
The way he silently looked at Hanbin was like an old pine tree rooted on a rock.
Hanbin asked politely at that sight.
“Do you have any teachings for me?”
“I have just one thing to say. So what is the solution that Lord Sa has in mind?”
At that moment, everyone nodded.
Some people’s expressions were relaxed, as if their blocked stomach had been cleared.
In fact, that’s what everyone wanted to say.
No one could ask questions because they were pressured by showing the coffin and poison.
At that moment, Hanbin’s eyes lit up and he looked around.
The hostess also took a step forward and agreed with the hostess’s words.
Hanbin took a step forward.
Everyone looked tense at that sight.
Because there was a bucket of poison in front of Hanbin.
Hanbin waved his hand at that sight.
“Everyone, relax.”
“hmm.”
The hostess coughed in vain, as if she was displeased.
Hanbin nodded while looking at Cheonghwa.
Cheonghwa, who had received the signal, carefully went out holding the poisoned basin.
As Cheonghwa left, Hanbin looked at Sim Miho this time.
As their eyes met, Sim Mi-ho dragged the coffin out of the cemetery.
Two objects that had been suppressing the leadership had disappeared.
Only when the coffin and the basin disappeared from their sight did the leaders begin to make a fuss.
Then the hostess continued speaking.
“If you’ve mentioned the danger, shouldn’t you come up with a solution? Your Majesty.”
“If there’s a solution, I have it.”
Hanbin’s words caused the leadership to start to stir.
The hostess narrowed her eyes.
“What is the plan, Master Sa?”
“That is, don’t go near the typhoon.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying?”
“If a bloody disaster that will cause chaos in the world of martial arts were to strike, what would you do, Master of the House?”
“Well, face it with confidence… … .”
“For whom?”
“Shouldn’t we, the pillars of the political faction and the ten great families, step forward for the sake of the peace of the Central Plains? Four Confucius.”
“Of course it would be like that on the outside.”
“On the outside… … .”
As the hostess narrowed her eyes, Hanbin’s eyes lit up.
Peng Kang-wi, who had been watching, also tilted his ear slightly as if curious.
When everyone’s attention was focused on him, Hanbin finally continued speaking.
“Why do you think the Moorim Sega takes up arms? To be more specific, when we take up arms, how many incidents have been related to the peace of the Central Plains? It’s not just the Habuk Peng family. It’s the same for other Moorim Sega. No, it’s not just Moorim Sega, it’s the same for the large sects. They only take up arms when they’re at a loss.”
“Haha, what are you talking about? There are many times when you take up your sword when you see danger in other sects.”
“That’s because they’re afraid that the ripple effects of that sect’s danger will hit them, so they’re taking action in advance.”
“hmm.”
The hostess avoided eye contact and stroked her beard.
Others were also busy turning their gaze.
Hanbin’s words were accurate.
The martial artists cannot stand to suffer losses, so they take up swords and wield swords.
Of course, this is a story at the level of the Sega or Sect.
Stories of masters who selflessly help those in danger are quite common.
But if we expand it to a sect, the story is different.
Whether it is a political party or a sect, the group moves strictly according to its own interests.
At that time, the head of the ruling party, Peng Dae-wi, stepped forward.
He couldn’t stand the fight between Hanbin and the leadership and stepped in.
Peng Dae-wi asked, frowning.
“So what are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell us that we shouldn’t participate in this hero competition?”
Peng Dae-wi looked at Han-bin with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
That would be the case, Peng Dae-wi was the type of person who couldn’t stand to lose to anyone.
“That’s not it.”
“If not, what are you trying to say? Regardless of profit or anything, isn’t it the way of the martial world to step on someone who thrusts a knife at you?”
“you’re right.”
“uh…….”
“How can I just stand by and watch a knife being put to my neck? However, I should prevent the knife from being put in the first place.”
“You’re saying you won’t let the knife in?”
“It’s a simple matter of not attending this hero competition.”
“That’s ridiculous. It’s a meeting of the Justice Alliance, attended by both the Daesin Segae and the Old Gate Sects. We can’t be the only ones left out.”
“Then how about doing it like this?”
“… … .”
When Peng Dae-wi tilted his head, Han Bin continued speaking as if he had been waiting.
“If Habukpengga is going to attend this Hero Competition… … I think he should send the one with the most mouth. The one who won’t be swayed by anyone.”
“If you are a tight-lipped person… … .”
“We need someone who is like a deep-rooted tree, not swayed by other sects.”
At Hanbin’s words, murmurs began here and there.
It was said that he was not a man of great martial arts, but one who spoke loudly.
The leaders looked at each other.
The road to the Heroes’ Tournament was a bit bumpy.
Hanbin showed the coffin and the poisoned basin, emphasizing the danger of this hero competition.
No matter how strong-hearted a person was, no one would dare step forward.
At that time, Hanbin crossed his arms and looked at the leadership.
“Are you saying that there is no one among us who will step forward for the family?”
“… … .”
They still just watched.
At that moment, the hostess raised her hand.
“I will step forward, Your Majesty.”
The master of ceremonies behind him also raised his hand.
“Let me go. I will burn my body for the sake of my family.”
That was the beginning.
Everyone stepped forward and volunteered to be the representative of Habukpengga.
Hanbin asked again at their words.
“Can you promise to take risks?”
“I promise to the gods of heaven and earth, Your Majesty.”
As the hostess raised her voice, the other hosts and attendants behind her nodded.
Then Hanbin snapped his fingers again.
Exactly.
In that moment, the door to the store opened again and a white model quickly ran towards Hanbin.
The new owner was Seolhwa.
Seolhwa was holding a bundle in her right hand.
Seolhwa came in front of Hanbin and unpacked her bundle.
In an instant, a pile of writing brushes and ink was neatly placed in front of Hanbin.
Hanbin shouted to everyone with a satisfied expression.
“You don’t need to make any promises to the gods. Just sign this document!”
Hanbin pointed to the document below.
For a moment, gasps of relief came out here and there.
“Excuse me, what is that?”
“They say that the Four Princes like contracts, and it turns out it’s true.”
“That’s what I’m saying… … . What should I do about this?”
It was when they were in a difficult situation.
Hanbin pointed to the document.
“If you’re afraid, you don’t have to sign.”
“I will sign.”
The hostess stepped forward and picked up the brush.
He played with his brush without even looking at the contents of the document.
Hanbin asked.
“Would you mind not checking the contents?”
“I’m not a coward!”
As the hostess shouted confidently, the other hosts and heads of households also signed the document as if they were under a spell.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
Peng Kang-wi, who was watching them, tilted his head.
The hostess was not such a reckless person.
You’re signing a document without even reading the contents?
This was something that could not have happened given the nature of the hostess.
Of course, Peng Kang-wi had not heard about the contents of that document.
This happened just as they finished signing the document.
Just then the door opened and someone came in.
Everyone narrowed their eyes, expecting it to be Hanbin’s subordinate.
But contrary to expectations, the person who opened the door and came in was not Hanbin’s subordinate.
The new owner was Peng Hyuk-bin, who had returned from a mission outside.
Peng Hyuk-bin looked around as if he couldn’t understand the unexpected situation.
The reason Peng Heuk-bin came back so quickly was to congratulate Han Bin.
But contrary to expectations, the atmosphere was quite serious.
Several footnotes were seen signing the unidentified document with grave expressions and leaving.
Peng Heuk-bin ran urgently and gave Peng Gang-wi a prize.
“Father, I have returned from my mission.”
“You came at a good time.”
Peng Hyuk-bin, unaware of the situation, cautiously observed the situation.
“What on earth is going on?”
“It would be quicker to see this.”
“Yes, father.”
Peng Heuk-bin quickly checked the letter regarding the hero competition.
Then Peng Kang-wi continued speaking.
“We were discussing it because of what was in the letter.”
“It seems strange.”
When Peng Heuk-bin narrowed his eyes after checking the letter, Peng Gang-wi asked.
“What is strange about it?”
“Where have I been?”
“Come to think of it… … . Isn’t that the Habuk branch of the Justice League?”
“Yes, that’s right. Even while talking to the branch manager there, there was no mention of the Hero Competition. That means… … .”
“Please continue speaking.”
When Peng Kang-wi urged, the elders and the ministers all nodded their heads.
Peng Hyuk-bin continued speaking.
“The leadership of the Justice League must have something to hide. They are probably trying to package it up and pass it on to someone else.”
“hmm.”
“Why are you like that, Father?”
“No, keep trying.”
“The important thing is that you don’t have to think broadly. In this tournament, you only need to think about your family. I think it’s dangerous to receive a card from an opponent.”
“What do you think that pack is?”
“… … I don’t know about that either.”
“Hmm, what a coincidence.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“That’s because someone just said the exact same thing as you.”
“Are you saying that someone said the exact same thing to me?”
“He said, ‘We should send the one with the most mouth as our representative.’ We proceeded with the meeting to that extent.”
“You are a tight-lipped person… … . I am against it.”
