I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 176
Episode 176 Straight Road (2)
“Master!”
Moon Ju-young quickly ran and blocked Baek Woo-jin.
“It is true that we must go to the main gate, but we must not move hastily! “If you make a mistake, a war could break out!”
-That guy is right. What are you doing that is not like you?
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Heuk-am and Moon Joo-young once and then patted his cheek. The anger burning in his eyes subsided.
“sorry.”
Moon Joo-young and Darkness were right. Even if you go to Daeyeonmun, you have to make a plan and move.
-Have you cooled off?
‘I thought I was a pretty cool guy. But when I thought about Ara’s smiling face before she went on vacation, my mind was filled with the idea of killing Hwangho.’
I remembered the memory of Hong A-ra laughing when she said she was going to the dungeon with Hong In-su, and I was overcome with anger without realizing it.
If Heukam and Moon Ju-young had not stopped, they would have taken the medical sword team and stormed into the main gate without any countermeasures.
-Hmm…
Darkness was just as angry as Baek Woo-jin, so I understood his thoughts and feelings.
“I don’t have much time.”
Baek Woo-jin changed direction and headed toward Gaju Battle.
-Gajujeon?
‘The person who can end this situation the fastest is my father.’
-Will your father move?
‘This is something that can benefit the Baek family. It might move.’
The facts that Qing Miao said are just her claims.
Hwang Ho used violence against Hong Ara due to a claim that was not guaranteed to be true. The reason for this incident lies in the Baek family.
Revenge can be done later. Right now, saving Hong A-ra and Hong In-su was the most urgent.
“See you, Master.”
“My father?”
“You are there.”
Kim Jae-hwan, who was standing in front of Gajujeon, bowed his head and answered.
“Put a message inside… huh?”
Baek Woo-jin opened the door and went inside without Kim Jae-hwan having time to stop him.
“What is this! No matter how much you are a master…”
“That’s it.”
Kim Jae-hwan followed him in and tried to stop Baek Woo-jin, but Baek Cheon-hwa waved his hand.
“Go out.”
“Oh yeah!”
Kim Jae-hwan immediately lowered his head and went out.
“hmm?”
There was a violent shaking in Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes.
‘This guy… what is it?’
The last time I saw Baek Woo-jin was when he was trying to stop a fight with Baek Seong-hyeon.
Although less than a month had passed since then, Baek Woo-jin’s strength had grown beyond recognition.
‘How can this kind of growth be achieved?’
Baek Woo-jin instantly surpassed a level that would have taken a long time to reach. The growth rate was incomprehensible.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
Baek Tian-hwa’s voice became softer. It was a voice that found Baek Woo-jin special.
“There is a prosecutor under me named Hong A-ra. “That child…”
Baek Woo-jin objectively and quickly conveyed the facts he heard from Moon Ju-young.
“Hwangho lost his temper due to the anger he suffered from you.”
Baek Chun-hwa curled the corners of her mouth and laughed.
“That’s right. “You don’t know what they’re going to do, so you have to move as quickly as possible…”
“Okay. I guess I’ll have to pay the price for ignoring Shingeombaekga. But that’s not the case now.”
Bai Tianhua waved his hand resolutely.
“yes?”
“Isn’t that idiot helping us out on his own? “Now is not the time to save that child.”
“What do you mean.”
Baek Woo-jin clenched his teeth and looked up at Baek Cheon-hwa.
“It means that the more a child named Hong A-ra and her father are caught in Daeyeonmun, the more they are hurt, the more we have to gain.”
-What are you saying now?
“Hwang Ho was so blinded by anger that he did not think about the future. By now, you’re probably thinking about how to get over this situation. “What do you think he’s thinking?”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin knew the answer, but didn’t say anything.
“That idiot will threaten, torture, and brainwash Hong A-ra and her father into giving false testimony without even reporting to Lord Daeyeon-moon.”
-This bastard is real!
“Hong A-ra needs to be moved when she is injured as much as possible. It would be better if I died. Because you will be able to get more from Daeyeonmun. “It would be even better for the Great Yeonmunju to know this fact as late as possible.”
-What a crazy guy!
The darkness swore at Baek Cheon-hwa. If I had a body, I would have slammed my fist right into that snout.
“Stop playing friendship with those below you, and now you too…”
Baek Chun-hwa didn’t finish what he was saying, but Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists and stood up. A feeling like an active volcano about to explode rose from his whole body.
‘I was mistaken.’
I had hoped that my father would have changed a little. But no. He still viewed the family swordsman as an object.
“Where are you going?”
When Baek Woo-jin turned his back and was about to leave, Baek Cheon-hwa, who was smiling, opened his mouth.
“I’m going to the main gate.”
“Didn’t you hear me?”
“I heard. That’s why I’m going.”
“what?”
“A guild should be a fence that can protect its members. “It is not a guild that seeks to profit by driving guild members to their deaths.”
Baek Woo-jin turned around. He looked at Bai Tianhua with unwavering eyes.
“We bear the family name of Shingeombaekga. “Not even a gangster would do something like that, to make prosecutors into scapegoats when they should be treated as family and protected!”
“Shingeombaekga and other guilds have grown like that! Even if you inherit the Baek family, you will do the same thing!”
“no.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head.
“That is my father’s way. “I will walk my path straight.”
Baek Woo-jin turned his back again and walked towards the exit.
“I’m lucky that this matter took care of itself! “We can achieve a lot by putting pressure on Daeyeonmun!”
“It’s not luck, the guild members are in danger. “We must save it.”
Baek Woo-jin did not stop walking. It didn’t matter if I lost Baek Cheon-hwa’s trust because of this incident.
What he wants is not to receive his father’s approval and become the head of the family, but to defeat his father while he is in the position. Today, that will became even stronger.
“If a war breaks out with Daeyeonmun, can you take responsibility?”
“There will be no war. “I will go and solve the problem by myself.”
“….”
In response to Baek Woo-jin’s answer, Baek Cheon-hwa said nothing more and looked at Baek Woo-jin’s back with a strange look.
-You don’t use force.
‘Because I’m not that nasty of a person.’
Baek Woo-jin walked out of the Gaju battle without hesitation and without looking back.
Ding!
[A new quest has arrived.]
< The Straight Path >
It is time to carry out your initial will to walk a different path from your father.
Condition: Rescue Hong A-ra and Hong In-su without starting a war between Daeyeonmun and Shingeombaekga.
Benefits of accepting the quest: You can find out the locations of Hong A-ra and Hong In-su.
Reward: 2400 points special title.
Perhaps because I met Baek Cheon-hwa, a new quest appeared.
-This is…
‘Location?’
Baek Woo-jin immediately accepted the quest. It was more important than the quest reward to know the locations of Hong A-ra and Hong In-su.
“young master!”
As soon as I accepted the quest, Moon Ju-young, who had been waiting for me, came running.
“I didn’t get any help.”
“Then, the Deputy Lord and us both, get ready….”
“That’s it.”
“yes?”
“If that happens, there will definitely be deaths and a war will break out. “That’s not what I want.”
Aside from the quest, there is no need to kill innocent people, especially Hwangho and Cheongmyo.
“I will go alone.”
“What are you talking about! “It’s dangerous!”
“This is the correct answer.”
Baek Woo-jin made up his mind and called Yoo Jin-ah.
[Prosecutor! Hey…]
“I have a favor to ask.”
[Ah yes! Speak!]
“I’m going to the main gate right now. To the agents…”
Baek Woo-jin asked Yoo Jin-ah one favor and set off alone for the main gate.
* * *
“Tsk.”
Hwang Ho threw Hong A-ra and Hong In-su into the basement of his workshop and frowned.
Hong In-su didn’t appear to be seriously injured, but Hong A-ra’s entire body was covered in blood and had many wounds.
“Damn bitch…”
I didn’t mean to be this harsh, but my anger toward Baek Woo-jin and Hong A-ra’s stronger-than-expected resistance gave me strength without realizing it.
“Is this really okay?”
Qing Miao bit her lip when she saw the two people fainting.
I wanted to see Hong A-ra get beaten, but I didn’t want it to end up like this.
“Are you sure these are the ones that stole your boss?”
“That…”
“No. That’s not what’s important now. “Was there anyone watching?”
“That’s for sure. “There were only these two people near the boss.”
“Hmm…”
Hwangho nodded. In a level 3 dungeon, there is no one who can penetrate Qing Miao’s senses and be nearby, so there will definitely be no witnesses.
‘We have to move quickly.’
I threatened the people around the dungeon and hid the two people and brought them in, but it won’t be long before other people hear about it.
The good news was that Master was not present.
“When are you coming?”
As Hwang Ho was tapping on the wall nervously, the door to the training room opened and Baek Gye came in.
“I was doing my nails, why did you suddenly call me!”
Baekgye looked at his fingernails and got irritated.
“It’s about Baek Woo-jin.”
“Baek Woo-jin?”
“Can you use charm on those guys?”
Hwangho pointed to father and daughter Hong Ara. Baekgye has the ability to charm humans.
Because it can naturally manipulate humans, it cannot be caught by most brainwashing tests.
“Ha, is that a question?”
Baekgye snorted as if it was absurd. It didn’t work on Baek Woo-jin, but those sloppy guys can be easily controlled.
“Then start quickly. “It’s urgent.”
“Tell me to explain the situation first!”
“Cheongmyo.”
Huang Ho looked at Cheongmyo and gestured with his chin. I meant for you to explain. Cheongmyo explained everything to Baekgye.
“This woman is Baek Woo-jin’s favorite prosecutor?”
“yes.”
“It took well.”
Baekgye smiled evilly.
She also had a grudge against Baek Woo-jin because she got hit in the back of the head and fainted ugly.
Wow!
Baekgye lifted Hong Ara’s cheek and woke her up.
“Look into my eyes.”
“Ah…”
Baekgye activated his charm eye as soon as Hongara opened her eyes. Hong A-ra’s eyes unraveled like a broken rubber band.
“How long will it take?”
“Because we have to brainwash naturally. “You have to stay like this for two hours.”
“2 hours…”
Hwangho nodded. It is already popular.
I had to create the most advantageous situation possible before the Master or the Hundred Family found out.
“Brainwash as naturally as possible. “To the extent that a lie can become the truth.”
* * *
“This is my first time seeing you in person.”
Baek Woo-jin slowly exhaled as he looked at the main gate, which looked like a large house. After calming my mind, I walked towards the main gate of Daeyeonmun.
“Stop. “This is Daeyeonmun.”
The guards of Daeyeonmun Gate, standing in front of the thick steel gate, blocked Baek Woo-jin’s path.
“What brought you here?”
“I came to see Hwangho.”
“Hwangho?”
At the word Hwangho, the guard looked Baek Woo-jin up and down. And then I realized who he was.
“Bae Baek Woo-jin?”
“It’s Baek Woo-jin!”
No one knows that the person Hwangho hates the most is Baek Woojin. But it made no sense that Baek Woo-jin came to visit him.
“Moo, please step aside.”
“I’m sorry, but that won’t work.”
Baek Woo-jin raised the blade of his hand and struck the necks of the two guards. The guards couldn’t even react and fell down.
Kwaaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin pulled out the dark sword covered in black aura and split the main gate of the steel gate diagonally.
Kugugoogung!
The steel door cracked and the walls attached to the door collapsed.
“uh…?”
“What the hell!”
“what’s the matter!”
Daeyeonmun’s employees and talented people inside the door looked at Baek Woojin with bewildered eyes.
‘It’s northwest!’
Baek Woo-jin was able to know the exact location of Hong In-su and Hong A-ra through the quest benefit.
“You crazy guy!”
“Kill!”
“Call the guardians!”
The talented people of Daeyeonmun came to their senses and rushed towards Baek Woo-jin.
Pow!
Baek Woo-jin swung his sword with its sheath and struck the head of the warrior who rushed towards him.
“Ugh!”
“Ahh!”
Even though fifteen people rushed in, there was not a single one capable of withstanding Baek Woo-jin’s blow.
In less than 10 seconds, all the talented people near the entrance were lying on the ground.
“Stop!”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to run in the direction of Hong A-ra, 40 soldiers wearing green military uniforms appeared.
“It’s the Pungsa Guard!”
“It’s too late!”
“Quickly stop that bastard!”
It was a Pungsa guard unit that protected the outer hall of Daeyeonmun Gate. They moved like the wind and surrounded Baek Woo-jin.
“Baek Woo-jin from Shingeombaekga! “What are you doing?”
Kang Seong-jung, the leader of the Pungsa Guard, rolled his eyes and shouted at Baek Woo-jin.
“It was started by Hwang Ho.”
“Hwangho?”
“He kidnapped my prosecutor.”
“Kidnapped me?”
Kang Seong-joong frowned. Now that I think about it, I remembered that Hwang Ho hid something when he came in earlier.
‘Could it be that that crazy guy messed with Baek Woo-jin’s prosecutor?…’
Hwang-ho had an accident not long ago.
I thought they would be quiet for a while, but this time it seemed like they had done something crazy and messed with the Baek family.
“If you understand, get out of the way.”
“You can’t do that. Even if something happened with Hwang Ho, breaking into the Great Yeonmun Gate…”
“Then there’s no need to say anything.”
Baek Woo-jin drew his sword and rushed forward. Before the swordsman of the Pungsa Guard could react, he hit him on the head with his sword.
“Ugh!”
The guardian swordsman fell to the ground and trembled.
“statement!”
“statement!”
Under Kang Seong-jung’s instructions, the prosecutors of the Pungsa Guard opened the examination.
The momentum of the 39 prosecutors united as one and a harsh wind blew.
“Press like this… huh?”
Seongjung Kang opened his mouth without giving any further instructions.
This is because the Pungsa checkup, which had a reputation for being free and fast in switching between air defense and defense, collapsed in an instant.
Quaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin’s sword shook the side of Pungsa Geomjin. In the follow-up blow that immediately followed, all the prosecutors on the side were thrown out.
“Wow!”
“Ahh!”
“Ugh!”
The swordsmen who were grazed by Baek Woo-jin’s aura fell down, shaking as if they had been electrocuted.
Baek Woo-jin, who broke the Pungsa swordsman, quickly defeated the guardian swordsmen.
“This guy is not even 20 years old?”
Kang Seong-joong swallowed dry saliva with a mesmerized look on his face.
He had seen Baek Woo-jin’s videos, so he knew something about him.
‘When did this happen…’
But Baek Woo-jin’s current state was completely different from the video.
He showed off a force that was no different from that of a completed martial artist.
His subordinates, whom he had trained like master swordsmen, fell like ripe leaves.
“Keueuuuuu!”
“Ahh!”
Less than 20 seconds after the battle began, there were less than 10 warriors left in the guard.
“shit!”
Kang Seong-joong could not stand it anymore and rushed at Baek Woo-jin. Even though I knew it was cowardly, I stabbed him from behind.
Cheaaa!
However, Baek Woo-jin easily blocked the surprise attack as if he knew it and thrust his sword into the top of Kang Seong-jung’s head.
“Ah…”
Kang Seong-jung could not move even as he saw the sword flying towards his head.
‘Blood can’t be avoided…’
Baek Woo-jin’s sword stretched straight but contained a strange change. There was no place to avoid.
Pow!
Baek Woo-jin changed his sword at the end and struck Kang Seong-jung’s temple.
“Kkeuok…”
Kang Seong-jung collapsed, foaming at the mouth. I must have fainted, but I was shaking and couldn’t get up.
“Ah…”
“How could this be…”
The Pungsa Guard, with only five members remaining, retreated as if they were frightened.
-Stop it and move!
‘know.’
Baek Woo-ji ignored the Pungsa Guardians who were retreating and ran to the location where Hong A-ra was.
“Stop!”
“Baek Woo-jin!”
“How dare you come in!”
When we almost arrived at the place where Hong Ara was, a crowd of deacons wearing blue robes poured out.
Coo coo coo coo.
A black air current rose from Baek Woo-jin’s whole body.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to look at you.”
* * *
“What is it?”
Hwang Ho looked up and frowned.
From earlier, there was a wave of screaming and pounding noise aura outside.
The emergency siren sounded, so I thought it was an occasional practical training exercise, but it was severe.
“Is it far?”
“There are less than 20 minutes left. If you have nothing to do, go outside and quiet those who talk loudly. Because it’s disturbing.”
Baekgye waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
“Tsk.”
Hwangho clicked his tongue and stood up.
Baekgye said something, but he didn’t like how noisy it was near his training room.
“Hey you guys… huh?”
Hwang Ho opened the door to the training room and froze like a plaster statue. This was because a scene he had never imagined unfolded before him.
“What is this!”
The guardians and powerful people of the outer and inner parties were spread out like trash on the side of the road, and among them, Baek Woo-jin, spewing out a black air current, was approaching.
“Bae Baek Woo-jin!”
“Hwangho.”
Baek Woo-jin, who discovered Hwangho, brightened his dark blue eyes.
