Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 8

Episode 8

“Open it…

Jang Sam-tae forced his eyes that were struggling to open.

The excruciating pain penetrated all the way to the bone marrow and made me delirious. I couldn’t quite remember what happened.

It was as if half of my memory had been lost due to the shock of being hit hard by something.

It was then.

Suddenly, I heard a voice.

“Are you awake?”

“Tick?!”

Without even having time to recover from my surprise, I quickly turned my head. I don’t know how long it had been there, but I saw a black figure standing tall.

‘Now that I think about it, where is this place?’

Jang Sam-tae swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth.

“You are all”…!”

“It’s Danwoohyeon.”

“Hi… Jang

Sam-tae felt a chill run down his spine at Dan Woo-hyeon’s chilling voice. Up to now, I had met quite a few martial artists and even tried to run away from them, but the person in front of me now seemed like someone who lived in a completely different world.

Being a thief was a profession in which you had to be quick-witted to survive for a long time. So, even for a brief moment, Jang Sam-tae watched Dan Woo-hyeon from his tone of voice to his breathing.

But everything was so far away from ordinary martial people. I have never felt such a dangerous, even ominous feeling and force from anyone.

As Jang Sam-tae was swallowing his saliva in fear, Dan Woo-hyeon slowly opened his mouth.

“Actually, I tried to kill him.”

Creepy-.

Jang Sam-tae truly got goosebumps at the words that were spoken as easily as drinking a cup of tea.

Because I felt that it was not a lie, and because the killing energy mixed in those words was real.

Without realizing it, I lowered my head and trembled. I didn’t even dare make eye contact. Because I felt like I would lose my breath when I saw his face.

“But I changed my mind. Why do you think that was?”

My fear-stricken head couldn’t quite grasp the intent of the question being asked. [0] That was all Jang Sam-tae could do, looking at the floor with trembling eyes and holding his breath.

“Mo…” I don’t know.”….”

“So?”

“I don’t know.”

Dan Woohyun chuckled.

“Each person

has a price to pay for their life.” “How much do you think your life is worth?”

I had nothing to say.

Because I haven’t had time to think about such things in my life so far. He was only busy stealing and running away.

But now I had to think carefully.

“Pear… I think it will be a million nyang.”

“million? “It’s quite valuable.”

“I think it might be worth it.”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.

By his own standards, the value of a guy who was only a thief was worth less than a piece of silver.

But my self. If he said “a million nyang”, it meant that he had a lot of confidence in his own abilities.

I don’t know where the confidence comes from.

“The price of your life is one million nyang, and to forgive you for trying to kill So-mi, one million nyang. “A total of two million cats.”

“This is the money you have to give if you want to live.”

“…

Jang Sam-tae opened his mouth in astonishment.

Two million nyang was not an amount that could be easily raised.

Jang Sam-tae had stolen countless times and sold stolen goods, but he had never once held a large sum of money, such as a million nyang.

‘But you want me to hand it over? ‘It doesn’t even sound like anything.’

As I was about to argue that this was nonsense, I encountered Danwoo Hyeon’s sharp, knife-like eyes.

“I… I don’t have any money right now, so I’ll definitely bring this money, so please.”

“Hmm…”

Dan Woo-hyeon swallowed a short moan. His eyes were very sharp as to what he was thinking.

‘It’s no joke.’

Although it was only for a moment, Jang Sam-tae felt that his life was in danger.

The expert in front of me was sincere.

Moreover, he is a skilled person who can kill someone like himself without any hesitation.

The moment I felt it with my head and heart, I unconsciously hit my head on the ground

!

Jang Sam-tae’s trembling voice rang out as he was hit so hard that his forehead was broken and blood was splattering out.

“Please save me! “I will do whatever the city asks me to do.” However, Dan Woo-hyeon had no answer.

It was because I didn’t feel like it.

What can a thief do other than steal something?

Dan Woo-hyeon stretched out his hand and placed it on Jang Sam-tae’s head.

The moment a cool feeling touched him, Jang Sam-tae shouted.

“Well… you can do anything! Cleaning, laundry, and even food! “If only you would turn it on!”

Dan Woohyun’s eyes lit up at the last words.

Dan Woo-hyeon could handle cleaning and laundry with just a wave of his hand.

So, in fact, it was okay to have servants or not. There was no major inconvenience in living.

However, the last part was different. These words had great meaning to Dan

Woo-hyeon,

who couldn’t cook anything even if he had ingredients.

Dan Woohyun nodded willingly.

“Then let me keep your things until you pay for them with your own money.”

Jang Sam-tae nodded silently. There was

nothing he could do. This man must have already seen what was in his pocket.

Although he may not have calculated its value exactly, he seemed confident that Jang Sam-tae would not run away without it.

Jang Sam-tae, with his head down, laughed inwardly.

‘What a dog! ‘It won’t work out the way you want.’

he is a thief

Even if he robbed the king whom no one could rob (大盜).

He was someone who should not be compared to petty thieves.

Because he was the best thief in this midfield.

‘Let’s get over this crisis, and if we have the chance, we can take it back.’

Thinking about this, Jang Sam-tae lowered his head even more. Once you can save your life, it will be easy to create opportunities.

* * *

Look at the sky.

It is truly clear.

look at the ground

It’s so dirty.

Jang Sam-tae, who was grieving, held back tears as he recalled his situation. At the same time that Dan Woo-hyeon wrote down his words on paper and stamped them with blood, Jang Sam-tae went from a thief to a slave.

Why does heaven give us such hardships and trials?

It was never easy to brush with a swollen face. Dan Woo-hyeon was made to work without even being given time to rest, so his whole body was sore and tired. However, I couldn’t fool around.

Hwa So-mi was playing in the yard and

was watching Jang Sam-tae from a distance, wondering what he was doing. Sometimes, when we made eye contact, we hid behind a pillar.

I think he was probably quite scared because of what happened last time.

‘Damn you bitch! ‘It wasn’t just that bitch.’

I’m so excited.

The way he looks at Hwa So-mi can’t be good.

If it weren’t for that kid, the location where he hid the stolen goods wouldn’t have been revealed, and he wouldn’t have been forced to pay back a huge sum of two million nyang due to unnecessary threats.

Moreover, Dan Woo-hyeon warned that

the moment he was caught while running away, he would receive double that amount. Since the memorandum had already been written, I had to work without even leaving it out.

of course.

‘I have no intention of running away and getting caught.’

Even though he looked like he was working hard, he had his own thoughts.

His light attack was fast enough to be considered one of the top three in the midfield. I was confident that if I decided to run away, no one would be able to catch me.

I had no doubt that if I could just get Dan Woo-hyeon’s stolen goods, then I would regain my freedom.

‘There isn’t much time. You must get it back before the black dealer arrives at the agreed upon location.’

But I didn’t make up my mind hastily.

How easy would it be to escape from the hands of a master like Dan Woo-hyeon? If you reveal your true intentions, everything will be in vain.

It was then. Even a tiger would come when told to do so, and Dan Woo-hyeon was seen slowly walking from the back of the manor.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, you are having a hard time. “I think it’s more like evening.”

“Heh… hehe, don’t worry – this guy will serve it right away.” Jang Sam-tae hurriedly ran to the warehouse while swearing under his breath. Until he retrieves the stolen goods and runs away, he is someone you should never hate, so you should shut up and follow him.

He headed to the kitchen with the ingredients and imagined what he could do. Since there weren’t that many ingredients, everything was simple.

“It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so I don’t know if it will go well.”

But you have to do it.

In order to get a chance, Dan Woo-hyeon’s trust was absolutely necessary.

“It’s better than I thought.”

Dan Woo-hyeon was quite surprised.

It was my first time.

It means eating proper food after making a manor. Nine servings of side dishes were laid out in front of him.

It occurred to me that the herbs picked from the mountains could change like this.

The wild boar meat wasn’t just grilled, but all kinds of seasonings were added, giving it a fragrant smell.

The skin was so soft that it seemed to melt the moment I put it in my mouth.

“Your workmanship is good.”

“Hehehe, are you satisfied?”

It wasn’t satisfactory.

I thought he was a useless guy. I was planning on treating him like a servant for a few days and then kicking him out when he wasn’t doing well, but I changed my mind when he became so good at cooking.

Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes turned towards Jang Sam-tae.

The sparkling eyes were unusual.

“Tick!”

“This would be more suitable than a thief.”

“A thief?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Hwa So-mi suddenly reacted to the word thief and raised her head. Perhaps because I was immersed in delicious food that I had never tried before, my face was covered in all kinds of food.

Dan Woo-hyeon wiped it with a cloth and opened his mouth.

“The salary is three silver coins per month.”

“Haha thank you.”

Jang Sam-tae suppressed the knot in his stomach as he watched Dan Woo-hyeon keep saying shit like shit, even though he didn’t even think about the person who would give him the rice cake.

Actually, I was really looking forward to it when I saw that the manor was so big. Even compared to the manors in Agyangge, it could be said to be overwhelming.

But I realized it only a few hours after starting work. Although he had such a large manor, he didn’t have any common treasures, let alone money.

The clothes were cheap, and most of the things in the warehouse were things that could be gathered from the mountains and fields.

While he was thinking that, Dan Woo-hyeon, who was eating a piece of meat, quietly kept an eye on Jang Sam-tae. When Jang Sam-tae realized that gaze, he urgently changed his expression and lowered his head.

“You know what?

” to?”

“Even if Son Wukong dies and wakes up, he will be in the palm of Buddha’s hand.”

“Haha… Hahaha… Of course I know.”

Jang Sam-tae lowered his head and humbled himself again and again.

However, it wasn’t like that on the inside.

I kept a smile on my face as I engraved Dan Woo-hyeon’s words into my head.

‘You know what? What this means is that if Son Wukong doesn’t have a golden orphan, he can escape Buddha’s palm.’

Jang Sam-tae’s golden orphan was not Dan Woo-hyeon, but Jangmul.

Son Wukong on the Buddha’s palm believed so.
