Part 10: Incomplete

“Krrr…, krrrrr….”

A plea for life.

And the pleas to kill him have already ended.

now.

The only thing that came out of Mrs. Heo’s mouth was the sound of bubbling blood.

“Krrrrrrr…!”

The final moment is almost here.

but.

The excruciating pain was still there.

The body of the owner of the tenacious internal energy, contrary to the owner’s will, was prolonging the time of suffering that should have already ended.

“…just a little.”

Yeon Ha-eung looked at her face even closer and whispered.

“I wish the four years of suffering had lasted just a little longer… ”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The people in the office swallowed dry saliva at Yeon Ha-eung’s muttering that sounded like a soliloquy.

And, taking advantage of that gap.

“… Well, then.”

The head of the Gaebongyeon family, whose entire body was covered in his wife’s blood, slowly took a step back.

“I, I will take responsibility and step down from my position here. So the only thing left to do is-”

and.

Ugh.

“-Gaju, where are you going?”

It wasn’t Yeon Ha-eung’s voice that stopped the man from taking such a step back.

“Wha, Gwan-geon-jang…?! That’s, I-!”

“-house owner.”

The chief of police blocked the direction in which the head of the household was retreating and asked him with a cold gaze.

“When I saw Mrs. Heo dying, several things came to mind.”

“hmm…?”

Although the owner was startled, he said what he wanted to say as if nothing had happened.

“I don’t know what that means, but anyway. It was my fault for trying to do something with Sapaechon, but!”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The people in the office began to look at Gaju one by one with cold eyes.

“Ah, no…!”

More cold sweat flowed down Gaju’s face.

“Things could have been really bad, but, uh, anyway, if I can rejoin the Luoyang Swordsmanship, then it’s okay now…?! That’s why I’m taking responsibility and stepping down-!”

“-house owner.”

This time, the one who interrupted Gaju was the head of the elders’ house.

“In the past, there were incidents where several people within the family who openly opposed and criticized you suddenly died.”

“Oh, oh my…!”

The owner desperately pretended not to hear and tried to leave the place.

“It might take some damage to block the Sapaecheon, but they won’t be able to occupy this opening anyway. Everyone, start thinking about stopping the enemies right now!”

“-indeed.”

but.

The elders who had mastered martial arts blocked all his paths.

“In this series of poisoning incidents, you and Mrs. Heo had nothing to do with it?”

“What are you talking about…?!”

of course.

The head of the household jumped.

“I, I don’t know about this…!”

“You said you didn’t know?”

“of course…!”

He just grabbed it.

“How would I know…?! Didn’t I tell you earlier?! If I had known she was that kind of woman, I wouldn’t have brought her into my family-!”

“-Is that so, Father?”

This time.

It was Yeon Ha-eung’s voice that cut off Ga-ju’s desperate cries.

“…What about Mrs. Heo?”

Yeon Ha-eung nodded as he sat up, leaving the corpse behind, which was starting to grow cold at the chief’s question.

“… … .”

It meant that the breath had stopped.

“Ha, haaungah…!”

Gaju desperately forced a smile towards Yeonha-eung.

“I, I was wrong…! But I didn’t know anything about poison either…! T, that’s right! Right now, I’ll hand over the family to you-!”

“-What are you guys doing?”

Yeon Ha-eung completely ignored his words and spoke to those around him.

“One thing, above all else, is there any way to find out whether Father shared the secret of the poison with Mrs. He?”

“… … !”

“… … !”

Everyone’s eyes were turned to the soft sword that Yeon Ha-eung was holding.

That sword was the one used by the head of the Heo family.

The poison of Haedongguk was present.

“if.”

Yeon-ha-eung smiled madly.

“If he had known about this poison, he would have had an antidote.”

“Uh, uh uh uh… ?!”

The head of the household realized what Yeon-ha-eung was saying and screamed in resistance.

“Catch him…!”

“Press! Press and subdue!”

Bam…!

“Ugh… ?!”

of course.

In an instant, he was overpowered by the elders who had learned martial arts from around him and was forced to face the ground.

“… but, what if.”

The head of the household of Gaebongyeon-ga looked down at the appearance of the household head and asked Yeon Ha-eung in a soft voice.

“If the head of the household really didn’t know about the poison, what were you planning to do…?”

“Well, maybe. But still.”

Yeon Ha-eung chuckled, holding up his own jingling sword.

“Doesn’t it matter? Then, let’s just say that you were punished for betraying your family by joining hands with Sapaecheon.”

“Huh…?”

As the head of the household in Gaebongyeon-ga nodded indifferently as if it was a plausible idea, the subdued head of the household began to resist as if in a fit of convulsion.

“Oh, no?! Shut up…!”

of course.

Completely subdued, any resistance he could put up was futile.

“… I like that.”

It was Gwan-Gyeon-Jang who received his sword from Yeon-Ha-Eung’s hands.

He spoke to everyone.

“Simply. Let’s make a quick yes or no decision.”

“Nooooooooo…! I said nooooo… ?!”

Thud, thud.

He approached the head of the household who was lying on the ground, holding a sword coated with Haedongguk’s poison, and asked everyone in a cold voice.

“Is there anyone who objects?”

“S-save me! Jebaal…!”

The head of the household looked at his entourage and shouted.

but.

“… … .”

“… … .”

In this situation, there was no one who would take Gaju’s side, so no one made eye contact with Gaju.

“What a ungrateful son of a bitch…!”

The head of the household was foaming at the mouth and cursing.

“I will curse you all…! Even if I go to hell, I will curse you all…!”

“…There is no opposition.”

Gwan-Geon-Jang lifted Yeon-Ha-Eung’s sword and declared in a calm voice.

“The motion has been passed.”

soon.

“Kuaaaak… ?!”

The sound of the owner screaming in agony echoed outside.

The wait wasn’t that long.

The head of the household, who could not even bear half the pain of Mrs. Heo, knew what would happen in the future.

“Eww, ewww…!”

That was because I hurriedly took out a small vial containing the antidote.

of course.

“Give me that, give me that aaaaah…! Kkaaaak… ?!”

As he feared, Yeon-ha-eung easily snatched the bottle away.

“hmm….”

Yeon Ha-eung opened the bottle containing the antidote he had taken from Ga-ju and checked its contents, then said.

“You are guilty, Father. But still….”

He smiled.

“It’s not really a pity.”

“Well, cool… ?!”

Gaju tried to say something to Yeonha-eung.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaah… ?!”

All that came out of his mouth was blood and screams of pain.

“…Younger, you.”

The head of the Gaebongyeon family approached Yeon Ha-eung and asked with a cold gaze fixed on the head of the household.

“Are you going to leave me like this until I die again?”

“… … .”

for a moment.

Yeon Ha-eung, who had been thinking, shook his head.

“no.”

“then…?”

Pay close attention to Gaju, who is convulsing on the floor while screaming.

He looked at me intently as if he wouldn’t miss a single moment, and raised his hand to point behind me.

“Outside…?”

The elder of Gaebongyeon asked.

“You mean the crowd gathered outside…?”

“yes.”

Yeon Ha-eung nodded slightly, still keeping his gaze fixed on her.

“If we want to control the uncontrolled, angry mob again, we have to satisfy them.”

“… … .”

The head of the Gaebongyeon Ga family, who felt the chill from Yeonha-eung’s poisonous aura, closed his mouth.

Yeon Ha-eung ignored his reaction and gave instructions to those around her in a calm voice.

“Just throw it outside.”

The soft laughter of Yeon-ha-eung echoed through the air.

“Let them rip the interest to shreds themselves.”

* * *

Luoyang Swordsmanship.

Luoyang ancestral home.

The main hall of the house.

“…then.”

The head of the foreign hospital, Hakunhyung, opened his mouth.

“If things go as the chairman says, Gaebongyeonga will once again become the most loyal subject of our Luoyang Sword Family. Sa-pae-cheon will give up occupying Gaebong.”

“I guess the ‘but’ comes out around here?”

As Yeon So-hyeon spoke on her behalf, Hak-un Hyeong, the head of the household, nodded and continued speaking.

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean that Sapaechon will just withdraw its troops attacking Gaebong.”

“exactly.”

Yeon Soo-hyun confirmed it.

“Rather, they are more likely to thoroughly loot and burn Gaebong, which they will not be able to occupy anyway.”

“… And Mr. Chairman, you won’t just sit by and watch the return of Gaebongyeon-ga being burned to the ground, right?”

Oewonju Hakunhyeong asked Yeonseonhyeon in a heavy voice.

“Then, now. Would you like to send reinforcements…?”

There was a reason his voice and gaze were heavy.

and.

“… … .”

“… … .”

There was a reason why the audience remained completely silent and looked at Yeon So-hyeon.

“Well, as you all know.”

Yeon So-hyeon explained the reason.

“The problem here, at the Luoyang home base, has not been resolved yet. As the troops that were supposed to provide support are leaving, the defense of this home base is becoming weaker.”

“… … .”

That’s right.

That was the reason.

Even if the biggest problem of betrayal in Gaebongyeonga was solved through Yeon Ha-eung.

This was because the attack on Luoyang’s main residence, which was presumed to be the enemy’s ultimate goal, still remained.

“… Then, what will you do?”

Yeon So-hyeon answered the heavy question from the head of the household, Hak-un-hyeong, immediately.

“I, the Luoyang clan, will not send reinforcements to Gaebong.”

“No, that’s… ?!”

“Oh my…!”

The room was immediately stirred.

“Are you saying that you’re going to use Gaebongyeon as a waste right now?!”

* * *

“Look, what do you mean there’s no immediate support from my family?!”

The office of the head of the Gaebongyeon family suddenly became noisy.

“Then why did you do these things…?!”

“What if we all die fighting without any reinforcements?! There would be no reason for us to pledge our loyalty to the Luoyang Swordsmen again?!”

at that time.

“Younger! No way…?!”

It seems like someone noticed something.

He shouted in disbelief at Yeon Ha-eung, who was standing silently.

“Surely, you are really trying to destroy this family…?! Surely, all of this is your revenge…?!”

“… What?!”

“…what?!”

At that shout, everyone was startled and looked at Yeon Ha-eung.

* * *

“…no.”

for a moment.

The head of the household, Hakunhyung, who had been lost in thought, shook his head.

“The chairman would never, never do that.”

“Really, do you think so, Lord Oewon?”

Yeon So-hyeon’s hidden question: Do you believe in yourself as a heavenly killer?

“… … .”

Oewonju Hakunhyeong looked into Yeonseonhyeon’s eyes.

Those two eyes were so deep and pitch black that no thought or emotion could be read into them.

but.

“…yes.”

The foreigner, Hakunhyung, answered like this.

“Huh…?”

Yeon So-hyeon smiled as if she found it unexpected and asked.

“Why do you think so?”

“… … .”

The eyes of the foreigner Hakunhyung narrowed, and he answered.

“… Today, no. Yesterday afternoon, to be exact, a large force of troops from a certain clan left Luoyang with their head.”

He added.

“And for them to return to their families, the fastest way is to go through Gaebong.”

* * *

“It’s the Namgung family…!”

Everyone in the Gaebongyeonga’s office clearly heard the shouts coming from outside.

“Namgung Se-ga’s forces have appeared…!”

“It’s the Sword King! Over there, there’s the Sword King Namgungje’s flag…!”

Let’s all look at ourselves.

“what….”

Yeon-ha-eung shrugged.

“It seems that my lord does not wish for my revenge to be completely completed.”
