Invincible Teacher Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 77

“We need to hurry up. The supply needs to be t by today.”

“Fucking bastards! They could’ve just told us earlier!”

“There’s nothing we can do, since they are our biggest custor.”

“Shut up and get back to work.”

Shim-gu, who was observing the workers with Kang-hyuk, sent him a telepathic ssage.

-What should we do, Hyung-nim?

-Capture them, what else should we do?

-They work for the Dark dicine Valley. Even if we capture them, they won’t be of much use for finding out their headquarters.

-Of course, I know that. In the worst situation, their brain will lt, but that doesn’t matter. What I really want to know is who the people behind the dealings are.

Kang-hyuk took his attendance book out of his sleeve.

Shim-gu had a puzzled look on his face.

-Why are you taking an attendance book out?

-Ah, it’s for striking them.

-What?

-Beating with this just feels nicer.

Kang-hyuk almost instantaneously flew into the air, swinging his attendance book around.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

One strike was enough to knock a man unconscious. After all three n had fainted, Kang-hyuk disabled their internal energy by pressing on particular pressure points.

After that, they then began to search the entire workshop.

They were looking for so sort of evidence that must have been left in the space.

Sothing along the lines of a docunt.

Soon enough, Kang-hyuk and Shim-gu found the docunt.

Kang-hyuk was the retired Clan Leader, while Shim-gu was the forr head of Hyeonmugak, so even if the docunt was carefully hidden, there wasn’t a chance that they couldn’t find it.

Their eyes weren’t eyes that could be fooled.

“Huh?”

As they read the docunt, they sighed in admiration.

The network of the dealings had spread further than they had expected.

The large-scale mission over the last few years that had been done to suppress the activities of the Dark dicine Valley caused the organization to have a change on its operational thods.

Their past operations were organized like a web, but now, they were similar to a connect the dots puzzle.

This ant that one couldn’t find information about a particular dealing until one found the person that connected a particular point to another point.

‘Those Dark dicine Valley fellows have always been good at screwing people over. In the past and even now. Damn it!’

Looking at the docunt, Kang-hyuk was sure that they weren’t only just operating in Nakyang, but also setting up elsewhere, slowly increasing their branches and dealings.

‘But then, it looks as though those fellows were telling the truth about there being five dealers at the academy’.

They also found evidence of around fifteen other dealers from the docunt. Now, all that was left was to rouse the unconscious Dark dicine Valley workers, and confirm the details.

“Shim-gu-ya, wake them up.”

“Yes, Hyung-nim!”

Shim-gu imdiately slapped the cheeks of the three workers, waking them up.

“Agh!”

“What?!”

“Huh!?”

“Wh-who are you?”

Kang-hyuk strode up to the worker that had queried and abruptly stepped on his leg.

The man exclaid in pain, “Ouch!”

“You don’t need to know who we are, but there’s sothing we need to ask you.”

Kang-hyuk spoke up, holding the docunt they found, “What’s written on this- is it true?”

“Well, th-that....”

The man’s eyes darted around in aversion. His body language indicated one thing- the docunt was indeed accurate.

“Are there any other dealers aside from the ones listed here?”

“There aren’t.”

Kang-hyuk knew the man was lying. He flung his attendance book towards the man.

Pok!

“How dare you lie?! Who are the dealers not listed on this docunt?”

“I-I don’t know.”

If soone said that they didn’t know, it usually ant that they knew, but simply didn’t want to speak.

Kang-hyuk clicked his tongue in response.

“Tsk tsk, I guess you guys are asking to be punished.”

He continued, “I’m definitely going to beat the crap out of the bastards that are selling drugs at the academy.”

The three Dark dicine Valley workers gulped, suddenly feeling regretful.

‘Sh-should we have just told the truth?’

Unfortunately for them, it was already too late.

Soti later.

Sniffle

“Seriously, we’ve already said everything we know! Believe in us!”

“We’ve been wronged. We’re just doing as we’ve been ordered to do by those above.”

“Indeed.”

Kang-hyuk looked at the three workers with a slightly pitiful gaze.

“Even so, what about selling drugs at Hwacheon Academy? Can’t you think for yourself? Do you just do whatever you’ve been ordered, no matter what it is?”

“There’s nothing else we can do. We have to make a living sohow.”

“Tsk tsk, so in the end, you know what you’re doing is wrong, but you’re still doing it for money. In that case, you should have expected the situation you’re all currently in.”

Their claim of innocence as they were following orders was a simple excuse.

Kang-hyuk’s belief was that if a person tasted the fruits of their actions, they would have to also bear the consequences of the action.

‘Even if I let them live, they’ll only get in the way.’

Acting as if he had nothing left to do or say, Kang-hyuk placed his attendance book back into his sleeve, and closed his fists.

“This has been botherso. I need to hurry and leave so I can go to bed.”

But all of a sudden, he swung his fists into action.

Pok!

Ppeo-ok!

“Ppeok!*

The skulls of the three workers had been shattered by the impact of Kang-hyuk’s fist, causing their imdiate death.

He could have ordered Shim-gu to kill them, but Kang-hyuk didn’t want the hands of his forr subordinate and colleague to be stained with blood once more.

And so, he decided to personally execute the deed.

“It’s done. Shim-gu-ya, start a fire.”

“Yes, the elimination of all evidence is important! But you know, what if the fire spreads to the neighbouring buildings?”

Kang-hyuk grinned at his question.

“Don’t worry. I’ll stop that from happening.”

As they exited the shop, a fla rose up within Shim-gu’s palm. The fla had been created with the Sammaejinhwa technique. He set the shop alight.

Crackle

Fortunately, no one could notice that the building had been set on fire.

Kang-hyuk had blocked off the area with his energy. Thus, the surrounding buildings remained unhard, and one building- the base of the Dark dicine Valley, burned.

In truth, Kang-hyuk did not really want to burn the building.

Fire was a scary object.

However, he had no other option. The energy of fire was the only way that the drugs and potions of the Dark dicine Valley could be completely destroyed.

Kang-hyuk turned to Shim-gu as they both watched the building burn and said, “Keep the events of today a secret

“What? Why?”

“I’ve made a promise.”

He continued, “As you know, the students of the academy have obtained and taken the rotting powder, but I’ve promised that none of the students will have to face a shaful expulsion as a result of this issue.”

“....”

Shim-gu looked at Kang-hyuk.

Kang-hyuk had always been like this since the day they had first t.

He would always fulfil a promise he had made. Even if it ant sacrificing himself, Kang-hyuk would keep a promise.

‘That’s why Hyung-nim shouldn’t promise things so easily.’

Sadly, Kang-hyuk had already made this promise. And so, even if Shim-gu happened to reveal the matter, Kang-hyuk would still make sure to sohow keep the promise.

‘If I did disclose the event, I would of course be severely beaten up...’

Shim-gu knew that the wisest course of action would be for him to keep quiet.

“Okay, Hyung-nim. But will it really be fine?”

“What?”

“It’s the rotting powder! And to have obtained that, how could they not be expelled?”

“I know, but punishnt isn’t everything. The real question is what compelled them to take it in the first place.”

“....”

Kang-hyuk sighed.

“The twisted nature of Moorim is what had caused this problem. And so how could I, as the forr leader of Moorim, allow them to be expelled?”

“If you’re saying that, then I too am to bla. I should have noticed this happening within the academy earlier.”

As Shim-gu bowed, Kang-hyuk shook his head.

“Enough. Let’s stop with the blaming. Anyway, what do you think we should do with the students that were taking the powder?”

“What are we going to do? Weren’t you just going to let them go?”

Kang-hyuk snorted at Shim-gu’s confusion.

“I only promised that they wouldn’t be expelled. I didn’t say that I’d let them go.”

“....”

“And as you know, the powder causes the rotting of the entire body. Then, it eventually causes insanity.”

“That’s true.”

“But the truly terrifying quality of the drug is its addictiveness. Once a person touches the powder, they can’t stop.”

“I rember the addictiveness of the drug was so terrible that even that fellow Ho-seong stuck his tongue out at the ntion of it.”

Shim-gu tilted his head.

“Ho-seong found it difficult to make a cure for the addictiveness to the drug, but I rember that you fixed an addiction to it, didn’t you Hyung-nim? At the very least, that’s what I rember.”

Kang-hyuk nodded.

“You’re right, I have.”

“Then why don’t you just apply those thods again? What are you worrying for?”

“...I could. If even you are ntioning that, I guess I shouldn’t hesitate.”

Shim-gu had a query.

“But what kind of thod did you use to cure the addiction in three days?”

“Oh that?”

“Yes. When I asked you about it then, you were quite vague, so I let it be. But now that it has co up again, I’m quite curious.”

At that ti, the person who was afflicted by the addictive properties of the rotting powder was a child of the Hwang-bo family.

The fact that a child of the esteed warrior family was addicted to the drug was a huge sha to the family na. And so, the head of the family had visited the Clan Leader, Kang-hyuk, bringing a huge donation along with a request for his help.

Kang-hyuk assigned Ho-seong to treat the addiction, but it hadn’t been easy.

The addiction was a terrible one.

In the end, Kang-hyuk had to make a move himself.

He had fixed the addiction within a span of three days, and presently, the man was a powerful force of the Hwang-bo family.

Kang-hyuk addressed Shim-gu’s question whilst stroking his chin.

“At the ti, it was too much for to say, so I remained silent. To be honest, my thods weren’t really anything much.”

“Yes, but what exactly did you do?”

“I beat him up.”

“What?”

“I locked him in a room and incessantly beat him for three days.”

“....”

“An addiction can be cured either by the person experiencing a pleasure greater than whatever they are addicted to, or by experiencing the opposite of pleasure.”

“T-that’s true.”

“So, I beat him.”

Shim-gu blinked.

The effect of Kang-hyuk’s treatnt was that whenever the temptation of the rotting powder arose, the addicted person would recall his beating, and the fear invoked by the very recollection would prevent them from touching the powder.

But any old beating wouldn’t be enough to cure a severe addiction. It was just as a person who was addicted to gambling, couldn’t cease gambling even if their hand was cut off.

‘How terribly did Hyung-nim beat him?’

Kang-hyuk spoke smilingly.

“Don’t look at like that. Now, if that fellow hears even a small ntion of the rotting powder, he jumps out of his skin. Seeing as his addiction was completely cured, it would an I perford my duty well enough.”

“....”

“And frankly, even if those three days were experienced in severe pain, don’t you think it’s better that then having your entire body rot away and dying from insanity? Hahahah!”

“Well, that’s true. Hahaha.”

Shim-gu laughed awkwardly in response.

“But isn’t there the other thod? Must you really use this thod?”

Kang-hyuk smirked.

“This thod is perfect for those fellows! Touching the rotting powder without any fear! Those fellows, I’ll make it so that they can’t even recall the characters that spell out the na of the rotting powder!”

Shim-gu recoiled at the energy emanating from Kang-hyuk as he spoke. He silently prayed for the souls of the students that took the powder.

‘Well, they would most probably commit suicide after being expelled, so it might be less painful than that....’

Shim-gu began to imagine the plight of the students. He couldn’t help but do so, as he was well aware of Kang-hyuk’s personality.

“Shim-gu-ya.”

“Yes, Hyung-nim!”

Shim-gu promptly replied to Kang-hyuk’s call.

“There’s sothing I need you to help with. Get the cooperation of the principal, will you?”

“Understood.”

It was now the next day.

Eun Myeong-myeong was a little alard at Shim-gu’s unexpected visit, but he greeted him calmly.

“Wh-what’s the matter? Elder?”

“Is everything running smoothly nowadays?”

“Of course, Elder.”

Shim-gu glanced at Eun Myeong-myeong’s desk.

The results of the Snaketail Valley investigation. Nothing could be found.

Eun Myeong-myeong was still investigating the Snaketail Valley issue. Sothing within his intuition was telling him to do so.
