I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy
Chapter 279

Episode 279 Kaiser (3)

“Are you talking about Kaiser, who is called the worst assassin?”

Baek Woo-jin slowly raised his head. The crescent moon-like smile that had appeared on his lips had disappeared before he knew it.

“Yes. “It’s your job to get rid of that crazy guy who calls himself emperor.”

“Hmm….”

Baek Woo-jin chewed his lips as if he had heard something unexpected.

“Where is he?”

“If you tell me that, I can’t say it’s a test.”

“Then are you sure that the Kaiser entered Korea?”

“Of course.”

“It’s not bad. “I thought he was someone I would have to kill someday.”

Baek Woo-jin released his heavy expression and gently nodded.

“For the test, I only have to take the Kaiser?”

“There are conditions.”

Baek Cheon-hwa stood up from the chair, shaking his hands. An immense majesty spread out, as if a giant, not a human, had stood up.

“If you say it’s a condition….”

“I don’t mind gathering information, but you have to do it all yourself to track down and catch Kaiser.”

“The Kaiser won’t move alone, so are you telling me to handle it alone?”

“If the enemy is pouring out supplies just because they are a group, the test is meaningless. And I’m not saying that you should deal with all of his subordinates. “All you have to do is kill the Kaiser.”

Baek Woo-jin sighed softly. Of course his subordinates will stop him, but saying that all you have to do is deal with the Kaiser is either a lie or a fart.

“This test will be a test to judge the ability of the successor, not the ability of the combatant. “Isn’t coordinating group competitions the most important skill for a leader?”

“…I decide the content of the test.”

-Ha…

Heukam sighed after hearing Baek Cheon-hwa’s answer.

-You really seem like a brat.

Baek Cheon-hwa didn’t even come up with a flimsy excuse. It was no different from openly saying that he was going to do whatever he wanted.

‘It’s not just this time.’

-Even so, I’m starting to hate seeing it more and more. Oh, I feel dizzy.

‘don’t worry. ‘It’ll be over soon.’

Baek Woo-jin looked annoyed on the outside, but he was extremely calm on the inside.

“If you move alone, this mission is more dangerous than you think.”

“If you can’t do that level of work, you don’t deserve to stand on the throne of the Shingeombaek family. “If you’re scared, you can give up.”

Baek Tianhwa rolled up the corners of his mouth. Although it was my first laugh today, it was a blatant mockery.

“Since you say that, I guess I have to come back alive somehow. In any case, the limitation is ‘kill the Kaiser alone’. Is that one?”

“one more. The deadline is 2 months. “If that time passes, you won’t be able to catch it even if you want to.”

“All right. “I will accept that test.”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked at Baek Cheon-hwa. His eyes overflowed with determination as if he would never lose.

-Wow, you’re really good at acting.

Heukam watched Baek Woo-jin from the side and expressed sincere admiration.

-Are you sure you don’t want to become an actor?

Baek Woo-jin had a bewildered expression on his face, as if he had predicted the entire situation perfectly and had no idea, but now he had the face of a hero who seemed determined to overcome any adversity.

To be honest, I haven’t seen any actors in dramas with acting skills like that.

-Is there a sequel to this drama?

It was much more fun than watching most dramas.

“….”

Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Baek Cheon-hwa and felt a bitter taste coming to the tip of his tongue.

‘It got worse.’

My father was different from Kim Jae-hwan. Even though he sent his own child into the swamp of death, there was no reaction at all.

He had become a more cruel and cold-hearted person than before.

-why? Are you trying to change your mind now?

‘No way.’

Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists so that they could not be seen. That person should not be in that position. He was a person who could ruin the Baek family and this world.

Just like pouring water into a sand castle to make it stronger, my will to remove my father from the throne was solidified.

“If you understand everything, go and have a look. “I wish you luck.”

“Is that true?”

“What do you mean?”

“I wish you good luck.”

“Of course.”

Baek Cheon-hwa smiled as if it was natural.

“thank you. “I will definitely complete my mission and come back.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded, stood up and turned around.

‘Of course I have to come back alive. ‘Because I have to take my father down from his throne.’

With another firm resolve, I went to the Gaju battle.

“I meet Lord Soga.”

“Cheokgeomdaeju?”

When Baek Woo-jin was about to return to Geomgak, he encountered Kim Hyeong-un, the Great Master of Cheokgeom, at the entrance to Gajujeon.

He was wearing combat uniform as if he was about to go into battle.

“Do you have a mission?”

“They said a wasp-shaped monster appeared in Sejong City. “I’m going to report to the head of the family before I deal with them.”

Kim Hyung-woon had been using proper honorifics since Baek Woo-jin ascended to the throne of successor.

“Wasp form?”

“This is the first monster that has appeared, but there aren’t that many of them, so I think I’ll be able to catch it quickly.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin tilted his head. I had never heard of a wasp-shaped monster.

‘Are there bee-shaped monsters in your world?’

-There are guys called Kilby, but like that dirty-looking guy said, they are not difficult to deal with.

‘okay?’

As the Great Master of Cheokgeom said, it was resolved quickly, so I thought that my past life self might not know.

“What’s wrong?”

“no. “Please travel carefully.”

“Thank you.”

The Great Lord of Cheokgeom bowed his head respectfully and entered the Gajujeon.

‘Kim Hyeong-un…’

In his past life, he naturally thought he was his father’s person, but he wasn’t. He was not a person for Baekcheonhwa, but a person for Shingeombaekga.

“I guess I should go too.”

Baek Woo-jin looked back at Gajujeon once and then returned to Geomgak.

**

Baek Woo-jin visited Yoo Jin-ah’s office at Black Market’s headquarters the next day.

Since she contacted me the day before, Yujinah was waiting for her with some free time.

“I stepped on a trap set by my father.”

“Finally.”

Baek Woo-jin got to the point as soon as he sat down. Eugene knew everything, so she nodded calmly.

“What are the movements of Daeyeonmun?”

“There is no change. Of course, just for the looks…”

Yujinah took a sip of coffee and closed her eyes.

“The Lord of Daeyeonmun and the lords, including Gwiseo, are not moving, but the masters that Lord Daeyeonmun had hidden inside and outside are quietly moving towards Hwacheon, Gangwon-do.”

“Experts?”

“These are people who only follow Daeyeonmun lord Jeon Su-hwan, not Daeyeonmun.”

“If we gather experts without being detected, it would be to keep the Kaiser in check.”

Baek Woo-jin understood the situation as soon as he heard Yoo Jin-ah’s words.

-Keep the Kaiser in check?

‘I told you that Daeyeonmunju is not an easy person. Even if I were to fall for the Kaiser, I’m not the kind of person who can just fall for it.’

It was clear that Daeyeonmunju thought that he had already killed himself and was thinking of dealing with the Kaiser and Reich after that.

“As expected, it’s convenient to talk to Lord Soga. “You can understand everything even if you just throw in a single word.”

Eugene smiled. Baek Woo-jin had the insight to understand the inside story even if only a small amount of information was given. It was easier to talk to than anyone else.

“Daeyeonmunju seems to be thinking about the aftermath of the fight with the prosecutor. “They probably plan to deal with the Kaiser and his subordinates as well.”

“My thoughts are the same. But the Kaiser probably doesn’t know that either.”

“yes. He must have made additional preparations as he has experienced all the hardships of childbirth. There is a possibility that a fight will break out, so Lord Soga will have to be well prepared.”

“So…”

Baek Woo-jin continued, rubbing his finger over the coffee cup.

“Please pay close attention to the Shingeombaekga and Heukgeomdae.”

“yes? “A black sword belt?”

“The father I have seen so far is not the kind of person who would just let the Kaiser go. “We might send the Black Sword Corps in disguise and pretend to keep the Great Yeonmunist forces in check, and then hit the Kaiser right before everything is over.”

“Oh, definitely…”

Yujinah nodded with a possessed expression. Baek Woo-jin was right. It occurred to me that if Baek Chun-hwa was the current Baek Chun-hwa, she would not just let Kaiser go.

“that’s right! “Why didn’t I think of that?…”

“Because that’s what a normal person thinks.”

A normal person wouldn’t even think about killing a commissioned assassin, but my father is different.

Tosa-gu-pin. This is a person who can boil not only a hunting dog but also a pot.

“All right. “I will observe the movements of Daeyeonmun and Heukgeomdae without missing a single hair.”

“thank you.”

“But are you ready to help? That would be the most important thing…”

Yoo Jin-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin with worried eyes.

“of course.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded confidently.

“I prepared it so that neither Lord Daeyeonmun, the Kaiser, nor even my father would notice.”

**

Even though Baek Woo-jin was tested by Baek Cheon-hwa, he did not behave differently from usual.

I trained for the medical swordsman at dawn and focused on personal training from morning to night, repeating this routine for a week.

While he was having lunch with the medical school team, Moon Ju-young urgently came to him.

“There is no problem.”

“problem?”

“Please look at this.”

Moon Ju-young took Baek Woo-jin out of the restaurant and showed him the news.

[This is urgent news! The Jeokhak guild based in Hwacheon was wiped out overnight. The incident occurred between 11:00 and 11:30 a.m. today. The number of victims is over 100, including the able-bodied and the general public. The association that conducted the investigation is predicting that the worst assassin, the Kaiser, was on the move after seeing that there were no witnesses or survivors and that the incident occurred in a short period of time. [Our broadcast…]

Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists while watching the news.

-Those damn bastards come out like that?

“It was like this….”

The Kaiser’s movements were left to Muyeong-gaek and Cheongsal, but seeing this situation happen, it seemed like they also missed the Kaiser’s movements.

Ugh!

Baek Woo-jin felt the vibration and took out the phone. The name written on the screen was Mu Young-gaek.

[Prosecutor! Sorry!]

“What happened?”

[After the Cheongsal was discovered, the movements of the Kaiser and Reich became much more cautious. Since the tracking distance could not be narrowed, the situation had already ended when we arrived.]

Muyounggaek’s voice was full of guilt. I could also hear the voice of Cheongsal next to me saying he was sorry.

“Where are they now?”

[We are making various preparations on the mountain in Pungsan-ri, Hwacheon. It seems like they are trying to lure the prosecutor here.]

“Find out every single thing they are preparing and inform Moon Ju-young.”

[I understand.]

“And it’s not your fault, so don’t worry about it.”

Since more than 100 people died in just 30 minutes, what happened to the Jeokhak Guild is not the fault of Muyounggaek or Cheongsal.

“Don’t overexert yourself and just wait.”

[I won’t miss it this time.]

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Baek Woo-jin hung up the phone and clenched his teeth.

-If you go to the Red Crane Guild, you will replace clues to track down Kaiser.

‘that’s right. If you follow it, you will reach the mountain of Pungsan-ri, and there will be Daeyeonmunju. As expected, they used very dirty methods.’

My stomach was boiling. There were many other ways to call yourself besides those methods. He used the worst method.

‘I had no intention of keeping Kaiser alive from the beginning, but after an accident like that, I can’t kill him gracefully.’

-Then what are you going to do?

‘I have to show you that I touched you wrongly.’

Baek Woo-jin wore a combat uniform and a black gun.

“We will break the pattern they created.”

**

[Kaiser is said to be the strongest and worst assassin, and there are no witnesses…]

Jeon Soo-hwan chuckled as he watched the news about the extermination of the Jeokhak Guild.

“What a grand signal.”

There are two reasons why the Kaiser annihilated the Red Crane Guild. Seducing Baek Woo-jin and sending a signal to yourself.

Ugh.

The cell phone placed on the table vibrated. There was no number or name written on the screen.

[You probably saw the signal, right? All preparations are complete.]

When I answered the phone, Kaiser’s grinning voice came out.

[There is a small mountain called Sinwolsan in Pungsan-ri, Hwacheon. Baek Woo-jin’s grave was chosen there.]

“When will he come?”

[9 o’clock this evening.]

Kaiser said the exact time without the slightest hesitation.

“Are you sure?”

[My servant is among the association staff who went to investigate the Red Crane Guild.]

“Servant?”

[exactly. That guy will give Baek Woo-jin a hint to replace me, so the time is accurate. Don’t worry, I aim for the perfect assassination. There are no mistakes.]

“…I understand.”

Jeon Soo-hwan hung up the phone after saying those words.

“He’s more thorough than I thought.”

I felt it while contacting Kaiser. This guy is not someone who assassinates with simple force. He was a guy who had everything planned out.

smart.

There was a knocking sound outside the room.

“Come in.”

“See you, Master.”

Gwiseo silently opened the door and entered, bowing his head.

“Are you ready?”

“We have deployed personnel surrounding the entire Hwacheon area.”

“The location is Shinwol Mountain. The time is 9 o’clock. “They are sensitive, so you will have to move carefully.”

“Like boiling a frog in boiling water to death, I will spread out a net to keep them from noticing.”

Gwiseo bowed his head gravely, as if there was no need to worry.

“Tell me how foolish it was to make a deal with these useless trash.”

“of course.”

“I believe it.”

“yes!”

Gwiseo said he would get ready and left the room.

“Baek Woo-jin…”

Jeon Soo-hwan twitched his fingers as he watched Moon Ju-jeon’s door close.

‘His swordsmanship and aura are all-round.’

Baek Woo-jin’s swordsmanship and movements have been identified through many videos.

He is an all-round swordsman who can demonstrate his best abilities no matter how he moves and has risen to absolute self-sufficiency based on that power.

However, even though it was the same absolute self-sufficiency, there were many differences within it. Baek Woo-jin is still in his early stages. It never occurred to me that I would lose.

‘shall we start.’

Jeon Soo-hwan closed his eyes and fell into a world of images. There, after five battles with Baek Woo-jin, he opened his eyes.

Of course, we won all five times. When I competed in the world of imagination, I was confident that I would win no matter how he fought.

‘We can go now.’

I looked at the time and it was 6 o’clock. As I stood up to prepare to slowly move to Hwacheon, my cell phone rang.

Just like before, there was no number or name written on it.

“what?”

Jeon Su-hwan answered the phone with a frown.

[There is no problem.]

The Kaiser’s voice was filled with more embarrassment than ever before.

[Baek Woo-jin! This crazy guy has attacked now!]
