Chapter 63: You Don’t Know Anything(2)

I wanted to coerce Jo Byuk into giving me information but he didn’t come out of the Alliance.

The True Heart Sect which is now run by Sa Ma Chun was in the inner part of the Alliance, so even I couldn’t easily sneak in there. With how much Ki I have, I probably could attempt it now, but there was still a high possibility that I would be caught.

It wasn’t likely that Jo Byuk’s source of money was near the Alliance since he could get caught. But even if there was something there he wouldn’t be stupid enough to be caught red-handed.

And that must mean that his source is money is so well hidden that not even the Heavenly Net Guild nor the other top information guilds could find any clues about it.

So I decided to dig deeper into the Three Rogues.  

If Jo Byuk was like Sa Ma Chun’s arm, then the Rogue Three were like the fingers.  Since they have been working for Jo Byuk for a long time, they were bound to know a thing or two.

I infiltrated the Gieseng House that they were staying at. This Gieseng House had over twenty five rooms, with over fifty Giesengs. This could be considered a medium-sized one, and the three of them had already visited four of the twenty five rooms.

After playing and drinking alcohol for the night they went back to their room during the day and they played and drinked at night again. They were truly enjoying their lives in the Gieseng House.

I sneaked into their room and hid in the ceiling listening to their conversation. Although it was cramped, reeked of alcohol, and had bugs crawling everywhere I couldn’t drop my guard for a moment. But I didn’t have to worry about getting caught since I could just kill them all if I got discovered.

This was the first time that I was doing something so ridiculous. I would have never even thought of something like this in my previous life even if I had the opportunity.

The reason why I was hiding like this and holding back my anger was because of Baek Pyo. I wanted to protect his current lifestyle. Since he had been protecting me for so long in my previous life, I guess the heavens are allowing me to protect him in this life.  To protect me, Baek Pyo did things like what I am doing right now and even more. He hid in walls, cramped corridors, and ceilings so that he could come out at a moment’s notice.

From this place I learned many things about the three of them. The one with a lot of hair was Rogue One, the one who had the big build was Rogue Two, and the other one was Rogue Three. Rogue One and Rogue Three used a sword as their weapon while Rogue Two used a mace.

Surprisingly, these three revealed all sort of secrets. First, they told stories about when they first

met, then they proceeded to tell who they robbed and killed. They didn’t hold anything back even though there were Gieseng next to them.

Although they were only a bit drunk, they had the guts to reveal everything because they believed that these Giesengs wouldn’t reveal anything.

I remembered something Kal Sa Ryang had said before, “Although it is difficult to manage the True Heart Sect, it is much simpler to manage the regular information guilds. When men become drunk they usually want to show off in front of women. Since that is the nature of men, the Gieseng house is a place filled with information.”

Around midday, the moment that I was waiting for finally arrived.

“I can’t take this place anymore, this place is getting boring,” Said Rogue Two as he got up from one of the Gieseng’s legs.

Then Rogue One replied with a grin, “Hearing you say it’s getting boring playing with women makes you sound like it’s almost your time to go.”

“We stayed here until it became boring. We should go there.”

“Where?”

“You already know.”

Then Rogue One shook his head, “It’s ok, if you’re bored then drink more alcohol and go to sleep.”

“Don’t be like that and let’s go. We haven’t been there in a while.”

“Didn’t the boss say to minimize our appearances?”

“He wouldn’t have been able to start this without our help. Stop saying we shouldn’t go and let’s go.”

I got excited. When they said boss it most likely would be Jo Byuk. Which meant this was some secret related to Jo Byuk.

Rogue Three remained neutral since he was the youngest but it seemed that he wanted to side with his big brother and not go.

The three of them eventually left.

The place that they arrived at was a place not far from their current location. It was a narrow road which was hidden from the main road, so unless you knew where you were going you were bound to get lost.

Although it was deep into the night, when they knocked on the door someone from the inside answered immediately, “Who is it?”

“It us.”

Because there was no response Rogue Two yelled, “You better open this door before I make you a new one!”

They immediately opened the door realizing who it was.

“Why have you come here without any notice, sir?”

Although he greeted them it seemed that he didn’t want to welcome them.

Then Rogue Two said with a smile, “Have you ever been folded in half before? Not like this, but like that.”

As he was talking he displayed the movement of bending the back the other way with his hand.

With a disgusted expression he guided them, “Follow me.”

“Brat, you should have said that sooner.”

The three of them followed the man inside.

The inside was normal like every other house. Then they came to a stop in a corridor between two rooms. When the man touched the candle holder attached to the wall, the wall opened.

Most people would have a secret corridor behind a bed, a desk, or a bookshelf but this was out in the open which made it less obvious.

After going through the corridor there was a large hall. There were about five tables filled with alcohol, food, drink and people. And the maids were busy filling the cups.

It somewhat seemed like a Gieseng house but it also looked like a tavern. It was like a Gieseng house since there were Giesengs playing and pouring men alcohol, but it was also like a tavern because everything was happening in public.

However, the biggest difference between a normal Gieseng house and this place was, this place used young girls to serve their food and alcohol. They seemed to be only in their teens and they were being forced to do these sorts of work.

After scanning the room they said, “Its seems like the business is going well. Our boss seems to be earning lots of money.”

Just like what Rogue One said the five tables were filled with guests.

“Why don’t you increase the tables?”

“Don’t they say it’s human nature? If they could come in so easily they would get bored fast.”

“Our boss really knows how to use his head.”

“Hey isn’t she the one from before? She seems to have gotten bigger.”

“Yes she is. Since her sister woke up we had to kill her parents remember?”

“She grew into a fine young lad.”

“Don’t they say that kids grow fast. Hey bitch, don’t grow too fast.  Or you will die.”

The three of them started laughing at the same time.

So this was Jo Byuk’s secret source of revenue.

The girls here were slaves kidnapped from various parts of the Central Plains.

All the customers here were rich old men who wanted to lust after young ones. Jo Byuk should be making considerably more money than a normal Gieseng house since he only attracted people from the rich.

When they first opened this place, the Three Rogues were the ones who kidnapped the girls here.

Since they wanted keep this place a secret there were only four guards including the one who opened the door.  

“I was hoping that a spot would open up.” They were all dissatisfied that there wasn’t any space left.

“Lets go. Lets sleep on the breasts of real women. And we need to start working tomorrow since we are running out of money.”

“Although there is nothing like these fresh ones it will do for now.”

“Stupid bitch!”

Then the man who opened the door brought up a girl  to the stage. She only looked twelve years old.

“Now, here is the main event. She arrived today. Of course, she is someone who is inexperienced.”

The old men were whistling and cheering.

The man who brought her onto the stage was stripping off her clothes.

“Now, I’ll start at five hundred.”

When the girls arrived they would be sold like this.

A few people started raising the price. Every time someone raised their hand it raised by another hundred nyang.

It passed one thousand nyang and reached two thousand nyang.

“Look at her skin. Its softer and whiter than anything.”

It eventually stopped at seven thousand five hundred nyang. It was a considerable amount of money.

“If no one else beats that price at the count of three this auction will conclude.”

“One, Two,…”

Then I yelled, “One million nyang.”

Everyone was surprised and looked at where the voice came from.

Everyone’s sight was on me.

“How could she be worth a million nyang?” The old man who was about the buy her questioned me.

Then I replied with a cold glance, “Will you sell you granddaughter for seven thousand five hundred nyang?”

The old man couldn’t say anything and looked at the man on the stage since he realized the person he was dealing with was a Kang Ho-in.

Then the man on the stage gave a glance at one of the guards, and two guards rushed at me.

I easily dodged their swords and broke one of their necks.

Crack!

He fell down as soon as his neck broke.

I choke-slammed the other one into the ground.

Boom! His spine broke with a loud noise.

After seeing the two guards being taken out so fast, the man on the stage looked at the Three Rogues.

The three of them quickly came before me.

Rogue Two turned his head and said to the other, “I told you we should come here. What would have happened if we weren’t here?”

Then Rogue One yelled, “Watch…!”

Without giving him the chance to finish I quickly struck Rogue Two in the head. The moment he turned around I struck.  

Bang! It sounded like something exploded in his head. And he dropped to the floor.

Without giving a second thought I stomped on his head.

(TL note: Think of this as the seismic step from Breaker: New Waves. thebreaker.wikia.com/wiki/Focus_Stomp)

Boom!

His skull shattered to pieces. After his body twitched for a second his movements came to a stop. He didn’t even have the opportunity to use his mace.

Looking down at the corpse I said in a cold tone, “Where are you looking at when your opponent is in front of you?”

The technique that I used to take him down so easily was Practices of the White Crane.

Rogue One and Rogue Three were looking at me with a blank expression. They were shocked that Rogue Two was taken down so quickly. Although he was ambushed, he was someone who had the strongest body out of them all, they couldn’t believe that he died with only two attacks.

After they finished exchanging glances with one another, they rushed forward at me together.

I dealt with them using the White Crane Art. I dodged their swords and approached them. Since they were not expecting me to do this, I was able to align my shoulder right behind Rogue One’s back and struck.

With a loud noise I attacked him with my shoulder and he was pushed back a couple of steps.

When he tried to attack me again all he could do was scream.

“Kahhh!”

With my last attack I had shattered his back.

Biting his teeth, he tried to attack me again but this time I grabbed his neck.

Crack!

He died on the spot when I twisted his neck.

 When I was done with Rogue One I looked at Rogue Three.

“Spare me! I’ll just go.”

Since he didn’t hear my response after he dropped his weapon, he ran towards the door afraid.

I kicked the sword that was on the ground.

Fwiiing! Stab!

The sword penetrated his back and came out the other side. After gasping for air, he finally fell.

The man who was selling the girl was nowhere to be seen. He left the scene as soon as I got into it with the Three Rogues. He needs to stay alive so that he can bring me the final person that was going to die tonight.

While I was waiting for Jo Byuk I started beating the daylight out of the old buffoons.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

After having their teeth broken and their arms broken, these old buffoons begged for their lives, “Please spare us!”

I didn’t say that I was going to kill them but they still begged to be spared.

“Alright I’ll grant you your wish.”

 Smack! Smack! Smack!

I beat them up pretty well. I didn’t kill them but I half killed them. Was it really worth my time to kill these old fools?

I was going to reveal what happened here to the world. Their family would probably find out and they will spend the rest of their life rotting in prison. Since I broke all their teeth, they probably would have to live off porridge or grits. I gave them an option to live but it was a miserable and torturous life until they died.

The girls were in one corner looking at what was happening.  They looked scared.

I asked them, “Do you want to see you mother?”

Most of the girls were crying.

“I’ll send you all home.”

I felt sad for these girls.

‘I am sorry. I am truly sorry.’

The wounds and scars that they received here would remain with them until they die. They were forced here and were forced to do these things when they didn’t know anything.

I didn’t know if they could live a normal life again. But the reason why I showed them the beating of those old fools was because I wanted to show them that they received the punishment that they deserved. Although it might not heal their scars, I was sure it was going to help them in the future.

Creak!

The door opened. It seemed as if Jo Byuk had arrived.

So, watch carefully. Watch what happens once that door opens.
