Chapter 388 – Reveal the Demons of the Ma-gyo (3)
As I read martial arts novels, I always wondered about one thing. Why is it that people who live well in modern times suddenly start using vulgar language when they enter the martial arts world?
It’s not like everyone who lives here uses vulgar language, but now I understand why they do it.
“What’s all the commotion?”
I didn’t need to be hostile right away, but since I’ve never been in a situation where I need to intimidate someone, I didn’t need to use it.
I raised my momentum slightly and looked around with a frown. Except for a few people, I could see that they were distancing themselves from me little by little.
Then, I made eye contact with a middle-aged man standing among those who didn’t back away from me. He walked towards me and said, “Haven’t you heard? We have information that you’re colluding with the Ma-gyo. Don’t even think about running away.”
“This is the Un-ga Upper Region. Isn’t there some misunderstanding?”
“I know very well that this is the Un-ga Upper Region. There’s no room for misunderstanding. Investigate and everything will come out. Don’t waste any more time and hand yourself over!”
The middle-aged man didn’t seem like a great master. Maybe if I focused more on my momentum, I could have made him fall asleep, but…
“What are you guys doing? Search the place!”
I decided to show off my strength for now. The other side was giving me an opportunity by rushing towards me.
However, I didn’t intend to kill anyone. Instead of drawing my sword from my waist, I grabbed the wrist of a man who was coming at me with his fists and threw him away with the principles of Hwa-gyeong. I didn’t think it would take long.
Dan-jae couldn’t close his mouth as he witnessed the surreal scene unfolding before him.
Just a half-angle.
The sight of the followers he brought with him becoming like salted vegetables in front of a young man who suddenly appeared was just as surreal.
Of course, they weren’t masters of the sword, but since they were just a group of people gathered from the top, there were bound to be many masters. If they resisted in the Un-ga Upper Region, this was an inevitable situation.
“But how did that young man, and alone!”
It wasn’t that his followers were wicked, but no one among those lying down and groaning from the young man’s attack had suffered serious injuries.
It was clear that if they groaned and rolled on the ground, they could get up if they tried to get up, as if they had been lightly touched.

It was clear that if they groaned and rolled on the ground, they could get up if they tried to get up, as if they had been lightly touched.
As I watched the scene unfold, I couldn’t help but be impressed by the young man’s skills. He was a true master.
“Well then.”
The young man turned towards me, brushing his hands off. I flinched for a moment, but soon regained my composure and puffed out my chest.
“What is the meaning of this? How dare you do such a thing in the Upper Region!”
“Oh, you’re from the Upper Region. Which one are you from?”
I was about to raise my voice with authority, but the young man’s question cut me off, as if he had no interest in what I had to say.
Although I was just a disciple of the inner sect and not a leader of the Upper Region, the name Yongun Upper Region naturally added to my prestige, so I had never experienced being ignored like this before.
But the young man was a master who could easily subdue me even if I had a fever. I couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated, and the followers by his side seemed to be encircling me.
“Ahem, if I may introduce myself, I am Danjae Moon, the leader of the Upper Region. But are you perhaps… Kang Yoon, the leader of Sonryong?”
“What? Son…?!”
I was taken aback by the young man’s sudden mention of Sonryong. Come to think of it, even if he was a low-ranking member, he was undoubtedly a top-notch master. Among the known top-notch masters, there were only four in Sonryong who were skilled in the art of boxing.
It was easy to guess the identity of the young man, who was not a master of the Four Seas, but was one of the young masters of Sonryong.
The two of them awkwardly laughed, even though they were still a little tense, as they realized that they both knew about each other’s reputation.
Moreover, since the other side seemed to know what Yongun Upper Region was, it seemed that the situation could be resolved easily without having to confront each other.
“Anyway, thank goodness. If I hadn’t put my affairs in your hands, the members of Yongun Upper Region would have suffered greatly.”

“Anyway, thank goodness. If I hadn’t put my affairs in your hands, the members of Yongun Upper Region would have suffered greatly.”
“It was just a misunderstanding, wasn’t it? You even showed restraint
Dan Jae-mun quickly exchanged glances with Su-ha. Whether it was intentional or not, the fact remained that today’s events had gone awry, and before retreating, they needed to confirm one important thing.
“Why did Kang Dae-hyup come to the Un-ga Sang-dan? I hate to say it, but we came here because we received information that this place is a brothel. So, it was quite surprising to see someone like Kang Dae-hyup here.”
“Hmm… is that so? But this place has nothing to do with the brothel. If you listen to my story carefully, you’ll understand…”
Dan Jae-mun listened to Kang Yoon’s lengthy explanation, which could be summarized in one sentence: “Recently, a member of the Un-ga Sang-dan received a huge donation, but if they are evil people, how can they use that money for poor patients?”
“…That’s what happened, and because of the misunderstanding, they heard the brothel’s name. How can I just sit still? As Kang Yoon, Kang Ho-in, I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice!”
“Heh, I see… That’s what happened. But this information was obtained from a reliable source… Hmm…”
The two men, who seemed perplexed, came to one conclusion after looking at Kang Yoon. A martial artist who was only strong in martial arts and acted like a thunderstorm, driven by a sense of justice.
The young man in front of them might not know it, but in the chaotic world of the martial arts, such things could easily be a smokescreen. If you could turn over a mask with a few coins and pretend to be virtuous, you could easily get away with it.
It was fortunate that it didn’t seem to have a close relationship with the Un-ga Sang-dan, so there was no need to involve the shaman mountain to get rid of him. However, they were not willing to let him go easily.
“Dae-hyup! What if there is clear evidence? Evidence that they are using the brothel for their own purposes!”
“Evidence?”
“Yes. If there is evidence, can you put aside your personal feelings and help us with the brothel’s purification?”
If the opponent is foolish, you can deceive them. This thought flashed through Dan Jae-mun’s mind, and he began to slowly and methodically manipulate the young man in front of him, suppressing the rising corners of his mouth.
“I guess they’ll fabricate some evidence. You played your role as a fool too well,” said Yeong-ho-kyeong, his voice filled with annoyance.
I nodded in agreement, understanding the situation.
We had taken care of the people writhing on the ground at the Un-ga Sang-dan and retreated. Now, it was time to gather people and figure out how to handle the situation.
“I never imagined it would turn out like this,” I said.
Considering that the Un-ga Sang-dan was a subcontractor of the Gupa, they couldn’t just take out the Gupa’s experts at will. It was clear that they hadn’t come to the Un-ga Sang-dan thinking it was a brothel.
If they didn’t want to die, they wouldn’t attack with just that much power. It seemed they wanted to use the raid on the brothel to crush their competitors.
I had already guessed this fact, but I had planned to ignore it and let it pass. However, it seemed like they were going to use me, thinking that the trap had worked too well.
“What should we do? It’s too valuable to use right now,” I said.
Of course, I had already prepared a way to use it if it was a real raid on a cult. However, it would be a waste to use it to weed out this group, and the effectiveness would likely decrease the second time it was used.
But they couldn’t just ignore it. The Gupa would soon receive a request from their money line and come looking for them. That was probably why Yeong-ho-kyeong couldn’t make a decision easily.
Then, No Hee-bang raised his hand and asked me.
“Kang So-hyeop, did you really say it was the Un-ga Sang-dan?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Hmm…”
No Hee-bang furrowed his brow for a moment, lost in thought, before speaking again.
“Then, rather than thinking it was really a cult, it’s more likely that they were trying to take advantage of it as a cult.”
“That’s probably it.”
“In that case, what will the sect leader do? If you’re going to wipe them out, we can’t ignore the sect leader’s actions.”
“Listen, Bang-ju! You’re going too far! How can you talk about the sect leader…!”
Yeong-ho-kyeong warned No Hee-bang, and the noise of the upper-class continued, with the eyes of the cultists standing beside them turning fierce.
From my experience, the cultists weren’t much different from other people, but they considered the sect leader and his family as sacred, so even though No Hee-bang had spoken a little rudely, it had turned out like this.
But No Hee-bang was calmly raising the corners of his mouth, even though he was receiving the attention of everyone in a moment.
‘Oh, maybe?’
“Bang-ju, do you have any clever ideas? My guess is correct, right?”
Yeong-ho-kyeong asked me if I felt the same way, and No Hee-bang nodded vigorously.
“Yes, I think we can solve this problem easily.”
“Oh, what’s the method? I’m listening.”
Not only Yeong-ho-kyeong but also the cultists who had been glaring at us all this time turned their heads to listen. No Hee-bang opened his mouth.
“There is a way to control the anger of the main temple here. If you send me, I can suppress them.”
Ah, that’s what he was going to say. I guess he can’t reveal what method he’s going to use?
It seems like he firmly believes that Yeong-ho-kyeong is the only one who can release him. No Hee-bang didn’t know that his smile had disappeared from his face, and Yeong-ho-kyeong’s expression was turning sour, as if he had bitten into a sour grape.
