"I was planning to stop after training, but I think I have to start again."
"Well. If you just complete this stage, you'll be much stronger than you are now."
Pyon Juksu knew Mok Wigun's three stages of training well. He had also seen for himself how big the difference was between each stage. So he was very happy with the current decision. But Mok Wigun made an even more surprising statent.
"I'll train myself and also teach the Light Wind Unit kids."
"Really? You don't usually teach this stage, do you?"
Even when they were in that other world, he had hardly taught this stage. This stage was sothing he had secretly passed on only to people he could truly trust.
"I think it's okay to teach it to those guys."
"Hehe. It's going to be fun from now on. The real thing starts from this stage, right?"
Pyon Juksu was rather excited and chattered about how he wished he would start training quickly.
"Let's rest for now. I'm tired because there was a lot to do today."
"That's right. That's right. Go and rest."
After coming here, he had t Lady Jang and had a troubleso conversation. He had found out about the Light Wind Unit incident and had gone to the Mok family estate and caused a scene. What was so twisted about the Mok family estate? He had to deal with Lady Jang, the Wind Unit, the Wind Unit captain Pyeong Gukdo, and the family head Mok Sonkwang. On top of that, he had also treated the Light Wind Unit mbers.
"But are you really okay? You said you were shocked from being hit by the family head."
"It would have been fine if I had released it right when I was hit, but I endured it to look strong. I'm fine now."
"That's a relief. Well, you probably deflected most of it."
Pyon Juksu told him to go and rest and then left the room. There had been a lot of things to do since coming here, but there had never been a day as busy as today. Perhaps because of that, he easily fell asleep.
* * *
A ti when the surroundings were covered in darkness and even sound seed to have fallen asleep. It seed as if everything had stopped because nothing was moving. Only the leaves swaying in the occasional breeze showed that the world had not stopped.
The sa was true for the detached villa on Mount Yakwang, but there was a shadow moving secretly, taking advantage of the darkness. The shadow moved without making any sound and then stealthily slipped into Mok Wigun's room.
'What is this?'
How long had he been asleep? Mok Wigun woke up from his sleep at the presence of soone. It wasn't that he had heard a sound. He had felt a person's presence. A skill he had acquired when he was in that other world. Should he say it was a skill he had naturally acquired after being assassinated so many tis?
He could clearly tell that soone was entering the bedroom. It was late at night when everyone was asleep. A person who secretly cos in at this hour? One thing was clear. It was that he had not co here with good intentions.
The masked person stealthily moved towards the bed where Mok Wigun was lying. He took out a dagger from his bosom, and he had not made any sound since entering the room. He raised his hand slightly and then stabbed the dagger, aiming for Mok Wigun's neck. It was then.
"What are you doing here?"
Soone grabbed the assassin's hand. Mok Wigun already knew who he was. It was Pyon Juksu, who had noticed the assassin's presence and had secretly co here.
"Gah!"
The masked person struggled. But who was Pyon Juksu? He was a guy who had even beaten up Mugwang, who was said to be on par with the Ten Great Masters. An assassin is skilled in ambushes, but weak in a frontal confrontation. In the end, after struggling a few tis, he was hit on the back of the neck, and his body went limp.
"You should have left him."
"Just in case. Usually, you would never be beaten by guys like this, but you looked so tired."
Still, this guy was the one who really worried about and took care of him.
"I woke up as soon as he ca in. But this guy..."
Dark red blood was flowing from the guy's mouth.
"It seems he used a poison pill."
Pyon Juksu said as he took off the guy's mask and examined him. Although so poison would get on him, Pyon Juksu had an imnse resistance to poison. It was no exaggeration to say he was immune to all poisons. That's why he had no hesitation in rummaging through and investigating such things.
"That's a sha. We should have found out who told you to kill him."
"Who could have sent him?"
Why? Who? Is there a reason it has to be now? His thoughts were complicated. But it wasn't sothing he hadn't expected at all.
"I can think of about four places."
"Four places? How long have you been here that so many places are trying to kill you?"
Pyon Juksu was amazed, saying that was also a talent.
"First, the side that cast the curse. But that side seems to have a low possibility."
If they were going to send soone, they would have sent them long ago. Excluding that, there are three places.
There are usually three reasons to kill soone. Money, power, and love. Love seems to be unrelated, so if you exclude that, it's either money or power.
"Lady Jang's side can get money. If I die, they can absorb almost all my assets."
"They can also escape the predicant they've been in."
"That's right. And she seed to be in a hurry. That's why she must have proposed to join hands."
But it was a situation where he had practically refused that proposal. She might have made this choice because of that.
"Next would be the family head. Because he extrely dislikes his power being shaken."
"That's true. You've stirred things up quite a bit."
The family head's authority had been shaken a lot lately.
It can be said that Mok Sonkwang's power cos from the strength of the Hall of Law and the Wind Unit. But he had to give up the position of the head of the inspection team of the Hall of Law. On top of that, the Wind Unit had been in such a ss today. His ill feelings must have been no ordinary thing.
"So he even drank Azure Stone Milk and increased his internal energy to plot sothing. He must have been confident that he could subdue , but seeing him today, it wasn't easy."
"He must have been surprised. Because he wouldn't have known you were that strong."
"He was definitely surprised."
"So he must have wanted to kill you quickly."
Mok Wigun is a person who cannot be controlled. There is no existence more threatening to the family head than that.
"Then there are three places. Where is the other one?"
"The Baek family."
The friction with the Baek family is already famous. But that's why he saw the possibility of an assassination attempt as low. Because they would naturally be pointed out as the culprit.
"If I were the family head."
Mok Wigun told him what he had thought.
"I would have killed myself and frad the Baek family. Then I could also use the Light Wind Unit and you."
If they think the Baek family is the enemy, they will naturally try to take revenge. If he uses that, he can use it in the fight against the Baek family.
On top of that, if he announces that fact at the general eting? Then the mbers of the Mok family will be greatly angered, and their morale will be greatly boosted. He could also announce it to the public and lead the fight against the Baek family to his advantage.
"It doesn't matter if there's no evidence. Because it's enough to just insist on it anyway."
"You suspect the family head the most."
Mok Wigun nodded.
"Wow. Is he really your father? This is a brutal neighborhood."
"It's not certain yet."
It's just a suspicion. Mok Wigun thought for a mont and then asked Pyon Juksu.
"You can see this guy's mories, right?"
Pyon Juksu was startled and waved his hands.
"No. The power to see mories is against the order of this place, so the side effects are severe."
"You just have to look a little. You've used it a few tis in that other world."
"You know well how much I suffered because of that, right?"
Pyon Juksu insisted that he wouldn't do it.
"Let's just look for a very short ti. I even got you the Golden Deer Blood."
At the words 'Golden Deer Blood', Pyon Juksu flinched.
"It's not a big problem, is it? I'll compensate you for your trouble. You know I'm sure about that, right?"
"Well, that's true."
Pyon Juksu kept tilting his head and contemplating.
"Ah, damn it. I shouldn't be doing this."
But the very fact that he was saying that ant that his mind was already quite inclined. As expected, after a little while, he sighed and gave his permission.
"Then just a little bit. It's not like I can see everything properly since he's dead anyway."
"Yeah. Thanks."
Pyon Juksu kept muttering that he shouldn't be doing this and brought his hand to the assassin's head. Then he closed his eyes and used his power. Purple smoke spewed out from his hand and flowed into the assassin's head.
"Sharing vision."
At the sa ti as those words, his vision changed. The assassin's mory proceeded backwards from here. He went out of the room. He passed the garden and crossed the wall of the detached villa. As he went down Mount Yakwang, his vision suddenly distorted and turned black. The mory was disappearing.
He went down to the bottom of Mount Yakwang and then turned. And he moved on the roofs, and a familiar building ca into view. It was the Mok family estate. The assassin's mory was showing that he had co out from inside the Mok family estate.
'Where is it? Lady Jang's quarters? Or the family head's room?'
The assassin's movents continued, but he suddenly felt a 'thud' and a shock. Then his vision returned to normal.
"Gasp!"
Pyon Juksu was breathing heavily as if he was surprised by sothing.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's stop here. This is already too much."
When the guy says this, there's a reason for it.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine. I expected this much."
It didn't seem to be a big problem. Although it was a pity that he couldn't confirm who he had t, this much was enough.
"He ca from the Mok family estate."
Whether he had given the order or cooperated, soone from the Mok family is one of the culprits. This damn family. I'm really losing all affection.
"Hoo. Alright. Now that we know, what are you going to do?"
Pyon Juksu asked, as if he had cald down a little. Mok Wigun made up his mind. Now that it has co to this, there is no choice.
"I will erase the Mok family."
"Really? It seed like it would happen anyway. Is this what they call fate?"
Mok Wigun slowly nodded. He had decided. To get rid of the Mok family.
Return what you receive. Get rid of what gets in the way. It was Mok Wigun's creed.
* * *
"It's amazing. As expected of Physician Pyon."
The Light Wind Unit mbers were all amazed. It was because they had healed surprisingly quickly. With this level of injury, you would have to receive treatnt for about ten days to get a little better.
Getting better doesn't an a full recovery, but to the point where you can do daily activities with a little strain. More ti is needed for the body to fully recover. But to beco fine in just three days, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"He's the one who revived a dead person."
Although it was an amazing thing, what Pyon Juksu had shown so far was so great that everyone just took it for granted.
Mok Wigun gathered such mbers and began to speak with a very serious expression.
"You must listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
At his strict attitude, everyone beca quiet and listened to Mok Wigun's words.
"From now on, I will teach you sothing new. If you just learn this properly, you won't go around getting beaten up. Instead! You must never tell anyone else about this."
Everyone swallowed hard. It was to the point where it felt not just solemn, but tragic. Mok Wigun, thinking the atmosphere was well set, continued to speak.
"Making you feel internal energy properly was just a preliminary work to teach this. It's the basic stage."
Just by learning what they had learned so far, there had been a considerable improvent in their skills. But to think that was just the basics. Mok Wigun said to the Light Wind Unit mbers, who were full of expectation.
"You will now learn. A new way to handle internal energy!"
