Episode 149: Merchant’s Council’s Scheme

The swordsman asked with a face that said he didn’t understand.

“Why is it like that…?”

“There is no need to kill him now. There is no need to join forces. Anyway, Ilsegeomma will die to me in the final.”

Gu-Hui suspected that the identity of the person disguised as Ilsegeomma was a member of Cheonjihoe.

If he can kill the Ilse Sword Demon and disguise himself as him, there is a high probability that he is a master of the Cheonjihoe.

Perhaps Cheonjihoe also wanted to take the prize, the electroencephalogram.

If that guy was a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, then he had to kill him.

I didn’t think it was necessary to join forces with the swordsman.

No matter how strong that guy is, he can’t be my opponent.

Gu Hui had such a crazy mind.

The swordsman sighed and said.

“I’m going to die by that bastard….”

“He is no match for me. So don’t worry. Don’t do anything and just wait. I will kill him in the final.”

“…….”

Geomseon thought he had no choice but to trust Gu-hui.

I desperately hoped he would punish the guy in the final.

Gu-Hui asked.

“Where are you staying now, senior?”

“I’m staying at an inn in Haerap….”

“The sea is wide, but if you happen to run into him, it will be dangerous. Instead, stay in the annex on the upper level where I am staying. Treat your injuries there. Are you okay, Jangju?”

Wigon smiled and nodded.

“Oh, yes. Of course. It would be an honor if the elder swordsman stayed at our top.”

Gu-Hui plans to help Geom-Seon, who he had a connection with in the past.

If he left it like this and happened to meet the guy disguised as Ilsegeomma again, Geomseon would not be able to avoid death.

For his safety and to help treat his injuries, I plan to take him to the upper reaches of the plains.

The swordsman felt grateful.

When I first saw him, he not only treated me with respect and respect, calling me his senior, but he also showed me kindness.

Of course, not all of Sapa’s unmanned units have evil natures.

Geomseon thought so and smiled gently.

“If you do that… I won’t forget this favor. Then I’ll be in your debt until the end of your finals. You said you were the head of the upper division? Thank you for letting me stay at your place.”

“No. Please rest in peace and go.”

That’s how the swordsmanship came to rest on the upper part of the plains.

* * *

A bright moonlit night.

The ghost demon standing by the window muttered as he looked outside.

“That little rat… I’m worrying about that for no reason.”

A while ago, he remembered an old man he had lost. He was a man of great swordsmanship.

I felt uneasy for no reason because I missed that old man.

If by any chance he goes around telling people that he is not the Ilse Swordsman, it will be a headache.

The ghost witch vowed that if she ever met that bastard, she would definitely kill him.

* * *

Gu-Hui sleeping in bed in the middle of the night.

In the silence, a raccoon-like insect crept through the crack of the door. It had two heads. It was one-third the size of a raccoon.

The bug crawling on the floor crawled up the bed and advanced toward Gu-Hui’s nose.

Just then, Gu-Hui’s superior grabbed the bug’s body.

– Thud!

“Crack… crack!”

A bug that makes strange noises.

Goo-Hwi immediately recognized the identity of the two-headed bug by looking at its appearance.

‘It’s a double-headed fluke.’

The double-headed fluke is a type of parasite that lives on the human body.

The diploid fluke enters the human body through the nose and reaches the brain, where it devours it.

Those infected with the double-headed fluke slowly die in hellish pain.

Because of its unique appearance with two heads, anyone who knows about solitude can easily tell that it is a double-headed fluke just by looking at its appearance.

Gu-Hui calmed the double-headed fluke with his magic and took it into his arms.

Goo-Hwi got up from his seat and went outside, where he could see the masked man standing in the hallway.

Feeling the bastard’s presence, Geomseon also came out into the hallway.

Gu-Hui used Heo-Gong-Seop’s technique to pull the bastard’s body towards him, then grabbed him by the collar.

– Thud! Crunch…

“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh….”

The masked man was out of breath. His body was unable to move. A dark blue energy was suffocating his entire body.

He felt the fear of death.

As Gu-Hui relaxed his grip, the bastard’s breathing became easier.

“Who are you?”

I answered whatever the masked man asked in order to survive.

“Kuluk… S, please save me… I was just doing what I was told… I am No Ji-sim, the black-haired wounded man….”

Gu-Hwi remembered the black statue that Ho-Ok-Cheong, the head of the Eum-Pung-Ma-Ga clan, had mentioned.

“Is this what the black-clad chief ordered you to do?”

“Oh, no… The owner doesn’t know about this…. I did this at the instigation of the Chamber of Commerce….”

“Merchants’ Association?”

Geomseon, who had been listening on one side, opened his mouth.

“The Merchant Association is an organization made up of merchants with great financial power.”

Among the merchants who joined the merchant association, there was an acquaintance of Geomseon. That’s why he knew about the merchant association.

“Why are they after me?”

“well….”

The injured person said.

“All the merchants in the merchant association bet their money on Ilse Swordsman’s victory… I have no doubt that Ilse Swordsman will win, but there is one thing that is certain, and that is that they wanted to assassinate the great swordsman before the finals… I had no choice but to accept their request….”

Gu-Hui’s eyes grew cold.

“That’s the work of the merchants’ association….”

Gu Hui had no intention of leniently looking upon those who dared to assassinate him.

“Where is the merchants’ association?”

“Uh, I’m staying at the accommodations provided by Heuksang…. I don’t know the exact location…. The owner of Heuksang knows….”

Gu-Hui released the bastard’s collar.

“Guide me, Blackface.”

“…All right….”

When Geomseon saw Gu-hui’s murderous gaze, he thought something big was wrong.

If that guy who joined the merchants’ association was also there, his life would be in danger.

The swordsman said.

“I’ll go with you too.”

“Senior, you should rest. I can go and come back by myself.”

“Haha… How could you do that? I just want to earn my keep. I’ll help you.”

“It’s okay… Well, do whatever you want.”

They headed straight for the black market.

* * *

The black market was located in Haerap’s red-light district.

[Seohagiru]

The black-haired man standing in front of Kiru spoke to Gu-hui.

“This, this is it….”

“Giraffe?”

“If you go inside and tell the courtesan that you came to find ‘Heuksang,’ she will guide you to Heuksang’s base…. Now, please spare me….”

Gu-Hui’s fingertips flashed.

The body of the man who was stabbed hardened like stone.

Gu-Hui took out a double-headed fluke from his bosom and put it into the injured man’s nose.

– Srrrr…

The injured man’s face turned pale.

The double-headed fluke began to crawl up to the brain.

‘Ah, no… Ah… .’

Soon the two-headed fluke would gnaw away at the injured person’s brain. No one in the world could endure such terrible pain.

All I can do is commit suicide to relieve my suffering…

Gu Hui said in a cold tone.

“You tried to kill me with loneliness, so you too will die of loneliness.”

Gu-Hui went into the room, leaving the man rolling around on the floor, screaming.

The swordsman looked at the injured person with pity and soon followed Gu-hui.

When I told the courtesan that I was looking for a black statue, she guided me to the basement.

The size of the basement was seventy square meters.

There were thirty unmanned soldiers standing guard. Most of them had first-class skills, and one of the leaders had peak skills.

The captain of the guard blocked Gu-Hui’s path.

“How did you come here?”

“I have come to see the black-clad lord.”

“Please tell me why you are here.”

“I came to ask where the people of the merchants’ association are.”

“Why is that…?”

“To kill.”

The captain’s gaze changed.

“If that’s the reason, I can’t tell you. I can’t let you meet the master either. Please go back.”

“You will regret it if you stop it.”

With those words, Gu-Hui took a step forward.

Then, the captain of the guard quickly extended his sword and aimed for Gu-Hui’s face.

– Swish!

Gu-Hui turned his head to avoid the bastard’s strike and extended his index finger. The index finger pierced the captain’s side.

– Crunch!

His ribs were crushed and blood gushed out from the punctured gash in his side.

“Ugh!”

The staggering captain.

As he was about to strike again, he suddenly stopped moving in surprise at the terrifying murderous intent that Gu-Hui was emitting.

All thirty guards stopped moving, their eyes wide open.

A huge tidal wave-like murderous spirit weighed down on the warriors. Feeling the tremendous pressure, the warriors knelt on the ground.

They were wounded and were spitting out blood from their mouths.

“Ugh….”

“Crunch… Croup….”

The captain of the guard was not vomiting blood, but his face was thoughtful and he was shaking.

‘Oh, this can’t be happening… .’

A look of astonishment appeared in Geomseon’s eyes.

‘To make all the people kneel just by living… This is the first time I’ve felt such a terrifying murderous intent… .’

It was an extremely strong murderous intent that gave even himself goosebumps.

Even his close friend, Ilsegeomma, could not exude such murderous aura.

The swordsman just realized it.

The fact that Gu-Hui is much stronger than he thought.

Gu-Hui leisurely passed by the fallen men.

Gu-Hwi finally entered the office.

Inside, a man in his seventies with a thin build was sitting on a chair.

He was none other than the black-clad Sangju Yoo Jeong-hak.

Gu-Hui was in a state of death.

The owner said, drooling.

“It is an honor to meet you in person like this…. I am Sangju Yoo Jeong-hak of Heuksang….”

It was Yoo Jeong-hak who had previously watched Gu-Hui’s match at the Gyeongcheon Grand Championship.

But, there was a question.

Why did the king come to Heuksang? With such a scary look in his eyes… .

Gu Hui said.

“Sangju, did you also get involved in what the merchants’ association did?”

“Huh…? What did the Chamber of Commerce do?”

Yoo Jeong-hak looked like he had no idea what was going on.

Gu Hui said.

“Noh Ji-sim, the owner of the black market, received the instigation of the merchants’ association and tried to kill me by poisoning me with loneliness. Don’t you know this?”

Yoo Jeong-hak opens his eyes wide.

“Oh my… So you’re saying that the owner of the store conspired with the merchants’ association to do something like that…? Oh… I really didn’t know… I’m sorry….”

As the wounded man said, Sangju didn’t seem to know.

“Okay. Trust me. Where are the members of the Chamber of Commerce now?”

“I can’t tell you the customer’s information….”

Gu Hui asked in a cold tone.

“Is your customer information more important than your life?”

“…….”

“There are many ways to find out even if you don’t tell me. It will take some time. What will you do? Will you choose to risk your life and protect your customers’ information?”

As he said that, Gu-Hui raised his index finger with energy.

A dark blue stream of water rose up like a flame. Its length was six feet.

Yoo Jeong-hak was astonished. His pupils shook violently.

‘Oh my, you can make a sword with just one finger!’

It was a skill I had never heard of or seen before.

Feeling afraid, Yoo Jeong-hak eventually gave in.

“Hey, I’m staying at a mountain lodge about 6 ri from here….”

“Show me the way. I will follow.”

“…All right….”

Gu-hui followed Sang-ju out of the office.

The swordsman had a blank expression.

‘Wow, what did I just see…?’

Geomseon doubted his own eyes.

A surge of energy rose from the king’s index finger. It quickly condensed to its limit and took the form of a sword.

It is a tangible sword created with just one finger without the medium of a sword.

It was clearly the legendary swordsman Simgeom.

‘A heart sword… A heart sword…!’

The swordsman once again revised his evaluation of the spelling.

The inaction of the monarchy that he had thought of so far was only the tip of the iceberg.

I just realized it now.

Why didn’t the King try to fight Ilsegeomma with a joint attack, but instead tried to fight him in the finals?

That must be because he has that much confidence in his martial arts skills.

‘I’ve been surprised many times today.’

Thinking like that, Geomseon followed Guhwi.

* * *

The interior of the mountain lodge.

Eight men sit around a circular table.

They were merchants who had joined the merchants’ association. They were all among the most powerful people in the region.

Wang In-gu, a middle-aged man with a plump build, a member of the upper class of the Ho-gyeong-sang-dan and the chairman of the merchants’ association, spoke with a twisted mouth.

“Haha, I think it’s over by now. There aren’t even any variables left.”

Chae Jeong-moon, the head of Daeheung Sangdan, said with a worried expression.

“What if the Black Knight fails? The King won’t stay still….”

“There is no way that a meticulous person like you will fail. Even if you fail, what is there to worry about? We have the ‘elder’. As long as the elder is with us, there is no need to worry about the royal retaliation.”

Everyone agreed.

The merchants’ association members believed in the strength of the ‘elder’.

Ho Kyung Sang Dan Joo, Wang In Gu, continued speaking.

“We just have to wait. If Ilsegeomma wins, we’ll get the dividends. Hehe….”

A glimmer of greed appeared in the merchants’ eyes.

That was when.

– Boom!!

The door burst open and three men came rushing into the room.

It was Gu-Hui, Heuk-Sang-Ju, and Geom-Seon.
