nWoong was showing a subtle spirit to fight.
nHe was certain that Taesan was afraid of him.
n“Only two are going? No one else is following?”
nWoong laughed.
n“Why? Are you scared to go alone? If you are scared, everyone can go together.”
nTaesan moved his head.
n“No, there’s no need for that. It’s a hassle to have many people.”
nTaesan laughed after making a comment and looked at Woong.
nMeanwhile, Gyeongwan and Yoo who knew Taesan experienced fear inside the smile and held their breath due to nervousness.
nHowever, Gyeong and Gal thought Taesan was forcefully trying to act brave laugh superficially.
nWhile two are trying to mediate the situation, Gyeongwan whispered to Taesan.
n“My Prince, you shouldn’t kill Woong,” Gyeongwan said extremely quietly but Gyeong and Gal could hear it.
nTwo people were surprised and dumbfounded so they just looked at Gyeongwan.
nThen they thought to check the Jong family’s warriors, just in case.
nThe person who heard the comment just now was only Woong.
nWoong looked at Gyeongwan with a dumbfounded face.
n“Hey, do I look like an idiot?”
n“No way.”
nGyeongwan replied and subtly left with a relieved face.
nGyeong and Gal couldn’t hide their confused emotions.
n‘Does that small prince really have something? It’s too serious to be a joke.”
nIt was strange that the doctor worked for Taesan and even the situation right now was somewhat strange.
nWhile Gyeong and Gal didn’t know what to do, Taesan made a gesture to Woong.
n“Go first.”
n“Ah, I need to discipline this rude guy. Follow me. There is a quiet place.”
nWoong walked aggressively as if Yeon’s residence was his house.
nTaesan wanted to follow, but he looked at Yoo and Gyeongwan.
n“If they provoke you, don’t hesitate to get into trouble. Make sure you destroy them completely.”
nTaesan’s comment made the atmosphere intense.
nThe Jong family gave an interesting reaction. They thought they were insulted so they showed rough fighting spirit.
nGyeongwan looked at Taesan with a confused look.
nWhy did he say such a thing to make the atmosphere like this?
nYoo was confused as well.
n“My Prince, are you intentionally trying to cause a fight?”
nTaesan laughed.
n“Don’t kill them. I will try as well.”
nAfter such a comment, everyone saw Taesan leaving.
nJong’s warriors were staring as if they wanted to kill Taesan and Gyeongwan and Yoo gave a bitter laugh while moving their heads. Gyeong and Gal made a confused look.
nThen, the doctor sat on a stone nearby.
n“Whatever happens, I believe no one will hurt me.”
nEveryone looked at the doctor. Then they nodded their heads.
nThey don’t know what happens in the future and there is no reason to become enemies with the doctor.
nGyeong asked Gyeongwan quietly. His face was extremely serious.
n“What is Prince Byeok thinking? Well… it’s like telling us to go and fight…”
nGal who came close as well spoke in a serious tone.
n“It seems like the Jong family also sent their best warriors. Gyeong and I can’t take more than two warriors each.”
nThere was a total of 11 warriors from the Jong family.
nIf 4 are handled by Gal and Gyeong, Gyeongwan and Yoo have to handle the rest.
nGyeong and Gal thought that was impossible.
n“You two are thinking too much about fighting. If you stay quiet, they won’t provoke a fight…” Gyeongwan said cautiously.
nHowever, he soon had to move his head.
nThe Jong family warriors became more aggressive.
n“Sigh.”
nYoo sighed quietly.
nGyeongwan looked at Yoo with an awkward face.
nAlso, Gyeong and Gal felt intimidated by the two people’s attitude.
n‘They don’t seem to be afraid at all.’
nWoong stopped in an open field.
nIt wasn’t Yeon’s residence. It was just an empty space.
n“Well, I thought of going outside but there’s no need so I came here. How is it? It’s quite good.”
nWoong spoke while laughing.
nTaesan looked around and nodded his head.
n“Quite good.”
nIt was really good.
nIt was surrounded by trees. Perhaps, a royal palace was planned to be built here.
nThere was water flowing in between.
nIt would be a good place to let one’s thoughts go or to think about something.
nOf course, that was after building a place to rest or a pavilion.
nAnyway, the surrounding was protected by the tree so it was a good place where they could be seen from the outside.
nIt was very obvious as to why Woong chose this place.
n“It hasn’t been a while since you came to Yeon’s residence, but you found this place.”
nTaesan’s comment made Woong laugh.
n“I have been waiting for this moment since I arrived in Yeon’s residence so I should put forth such effort.”
n“Your effort is worth it.”
nTaesan nodded and looked around once again.
nThere was no movement nearby.
nIt was really only Woong and Taesan.
nThere must be few people from Yeon’s family, but there was nothing like that.
nSo, it was set and there were no people around this area.
nWoong must be really excited. He couldn’t stop laughing.
n“Why are you laughing like a loser?”
nTaesan’s comment made Woong stop laughing.
nHowever, he soon laughed while moving his head.
n“Huh, you don’t seem to understand what’s going on. Hey you, don’t you know what’s happening right now?”
n“You are the one who doesn’t seem to understand.”
nWoong laughed. He could handle such provocation.
nThinking about what will happen next, he thought of handling worse.
n“From now on, I will give you some pain. I will be very careful. So, you should stay calm. It will just hurt a little and if you die it will be sad. Wouldn’t it?”
nTaesan laughed.
n“Are you confident?”
nSuch a question made Woong’s lip go up.
n“I’m specialized in giving pain without explicit marks. Perhaps, you may also feel impressed. In the past, there was a patient who was about to die. They didn’t die and stayed persistent. Somehow, that person had the power to beg me while holding my clothes tightly and crying in tears. Ah, you should have seen it.”
nJong laughed while looking at Taesan.
n“From now on, I will make you feel scared even by looking at my face.”
nThen, Woong slowly approached Taesan.
n“It will be fun to show Harin that you are scared of me. Wouldn’t it?”
nTaesan nodded his head.
n“Indeed. That will be interesting.”
nTaesan’s comment made Woong become serious. He didn’t like it as Taesan was too calm.
n“What makes you so relaxed? You are in trouble now.”
nSoon, Woong stood in front of Taesan. It was close enough where they were one arm length apart.
n“Why don’t you run away? It will be more fun.”
nWoong laughed wildly. It was a smile that would scare strangers.
nHowever, Taesan asked calmly, “So, what’s the plan? Do you really want to become Harin’s fiance?”
nWoong laughed.
nWoong didn’t like Taesan acting in such a way but it would be more interesting if Taesan became obedient.
n“Harin is beautiful. She is so pretty that it’ll be worth sleeping with her more than once.”
nWoong smiled after making such a comment. His eyes were full of lust.
n“Still, is she worth it for me? Not really. My ambition is too big to be satisfied with owning Yeon’s residence.”
n“Can you say that in front of me?”
nWoong laughed.
n“Why? Are you going to tell that elsewhere? Don’t worry. People who deal with me don’t dare to talk.”
nTaesan’s eyes became bigger.
n“Oh yeah? Not bad. I’m the same.”
n“Let’s start by kneeling down. Actually, I don’t need to hear this. Don’t you think?”
nWhile Woong spoke, he put his hands on Taesan’s shoulder. Well, he intended to do that.
n“Huh?”
nWoong’s hand moved along the air. Taesan gently twisted his shoulder to dodge the hand.
n“This jerk.”
nWoong tried to approach his hand.
nWoong couldn’t hit. Actually, he preferred other methods of torture rather than hitting.
nIt would be over once Taesan was caught.
nWoong’s hand was moving in the air.
nTaesan didn’t seem to move much but Woong couldn’t touch him.
n“What are you! Stay still.”
nTaesan laughed and avoided Woong’s hands again.
nThen at the same time, Taesan put his hand on Woong’s shoulder. Taesan did what Woong wanted to do.
n“Arghh!”
nWoong screamed and lost balance. Also, it seemed like Taesan’s hand on Woong’s shoulder was so heavy that Woong went down on his knee.
nCollapse.
nWoong hit the ground hard, so his knee was in pain.
nHowever, it was nothing compared to the pain that followed afterward.
n“Arghhhh!”
nThere was a shout coming out from deep inside as if the spirit were being ripped off.
n“What, you can’t handle such pain? That’s disappointing. I thought you were strong based on your comment.”
nWoong felt crazy. His whole body was in pain.
nIt felt like someone was grabbing the flesh all over his body and draining it out.
nMind-boggling pain constantly harassed the body.
n“Ahhhh!”
nThere was endless water coming out of his eyes and nose. He didn’t sense it but Woong peed and shat himself.
n“Ahhh! Please! Please!”
nTaesan still put his hands on Woong’s shoulders and asked calmly, “Please what? You need to tell me properly.”
n“Arghh! Stop! Stop!”
n“You have the wrong attitude.”
n“I’m sorry. Arghhh!”
nWoong screamed and looked at Taesan’s face. Woong’s eyes were full of fear.
nTaesan’s face looked very calm. It was not easy to make such a calm face and attitude while doing such things.
nHowever, Taesan was doing that now.
n“It’s easy to kill. Isn’t it?”
n“Arghh! Correct! Please kill me! Arghghh!”
nWoong really agreed to what Taesan said. It was better to die rather than experience such pain.
n“Still, I promised not to kill.”
nWoong’s face turned pale. Taesan spoke after seeing Woong’s face.
n“I will take half.”
nAt that moment, Woong’s eyes turned white. The pain increased intensively.
nThere was no scream. He just shivered with his mouth open.
nHowever, his mind was normal.
n“Ah, this is very effective.”
nTaesan took half of Woong’s soul out and burnt the outside with the magical spell.
nThe pain on the body was way less than the pain on the spirit.
nNow, Woong was forcefully receiving pain and fear in his soul.
n“Arghhh!”
nThe scream full of fear and pain lasted for a while.
nMeanwhile, the stand-off between the Jong family’s warriors and Gyeongwan’s party intensified
