Deep within the forest, there were no signs of life.

Kong Jong looked at the Kwak Do Su’s head and swallowed.

“Why are you surprised? Wasn’t this to be expected?”

“Haha, of course sir. But didn’t he resist?”

“I didn’t give him the opportunity to resist.”

“Oh, I understand sir. It is great sir.”

“The money?”

“Here it is sir. Twenty thousand Nyang.”

She handed over the bag that she was carrying. When I opened it, there were twenty thousand Nyang worth of traceless bank notes in it.

“Congratulation on killing the enemy of the clan with your bare hands.”

The normal process was to give out the reward money after a thorough investigation. However, Kong Jong just provided me with the money without investigating. But there was no need for that, since I had provided Kwak Do Su’s head.

“I don’t need to count it right?”

“Of course not, sir. I checked it twice, sir.”

“That’s the Director Kong that I like. Make sure you keep it up. Get ready to head out for the Central Branch.”

“Thank you sir!”

When she was at the peak of her excitement I told her, “But I heard from Kwan Do Su before he died that you colluded with him.”

Kong Jong suddenly became shocked. “No sir, that’s a lie.”

“Something about collaborating with each other to rob the Byuk Clan.”

“No, it’s not true, sir.” Her voice was trembling.

“That’s why I like you.”

“What sir?”

“I like the people who scheme a little bit. People who are too honest disgust me. There are times when you have to work with criminals to get things done.”

“Yes sir.” She was confused since I said something she never expected.

“What did you think of him? Say it truthfully. You are someone who meets my standard right now. This is one of your advantages.”

She looked at Kwak Do Su’s head, then at me and made her decision. She wasn’t going to hide it since things had already come to this point.

“It’s true that we worked with each other. However, he was truly a vulgar person. He needed some disciplining.”

“HAHAH. As expected.”

When she started to relax.

Rip.

I took off my face alteration mask.

“Long time no see.”

Kong Jong’s eyes widened in shock. It was the first time in her life that she was so surprised.

“… Aren’t you? You? What are you…?”

I said with a smile on my face, “To discipline someone, don’t I need a scourge? Why did you take the money?”

She trembled a bit and stared at the bag in my shoulder. “My money, give back my money!”

“Of course, you think about the money first.”

She tried to draw her weapon, but I was one step faster since I knew what she was going to do. Like lightning I thrust my hand towards her.

Swoos.h.!.+ Stab!

It found its mark square on Kong Jong’s throat.

“Kahh.”

Kong Jong grabbed my hand. She knew that she would die when I took out my hand, so to preserve her life she held onto my hand for dear life.

Then I coldly stared at Kong Jong.

“They chose you to protect the Kang Ho-In, not to do deceitful things like this.”

While this was a matter of personal revenge by Byuk Lee Dan, it was also the divine punishment from me, the Murim Mengju.

Her face was full of confusion as if she couldn’t believe what happened. Since I didn’t want to have any more conversation with someone like Kong Jong, I quickly pulled out my hand.

Blood started rus.h.i.+ng out and she silently collapsed.

I applied the face alteration mask that I had to her face. If they found her corpse, they wouldn’t be able to tell that it was Kong Jong. It would be revealed as the person who killed Kwak Do Su. There weren’t many who knew the relations.h.i.+p between the two, so most would believe this was as some sort of incident.

There was no way to trace this back to me, so I left the area quickly as her corpse began to lose heat.

Luckily the ten days hasn’t pa.s.sed.

“I had a feeling you would be able to gather enough money. So you were able to gather that much?”

If I told him how much I had made, he would be in shock.

“I think your parents are blessed with luck.”

The old man laughed, remembering my response to his question of ‘why I wanted to buy the profound medicine.’

“Haha. It’s a good thing, a very good thing.”
