After agonizing for a very long time, Yeo Man-chung abruptly stood up from his seat.
Then he kicked the wood wall behind him.
Thud
One of many partitions planks shifted inward, and a scream got here from inside.
Argh!
Come out, you bastard!
Quickly, the wood wall opened, and a member of the Low Down Sect, clutching his shin, appeared.
Did you suppose Id overlook for those who stored hiding?
T-thats not it, ah!
Silly bastard! You even obtained caught! Cant you do something proper?
Yeo Man-chung brutally kicked his subordinate.
In actual fact, Jin Ri-yeons senses had been terribly sharp, however he hadnt taken that under consideration.
Ouch! Im, Im sorry!
You shouldve misplaced an eye fixed.
Jin Ri-yeon had managed her power, so the best eye of the Low Down Sect member, who had been spying, was unhurt. The paper she had thrown solely exactly blocked the peephole he was utilizing.
Because the chief of the intelligence group, Yeo Man-chung often had a chilly and calculating persona.
Nevertheless, now he appeared cornered, even breaking out in chilly sweat.
Why hasnt the man I despatched earlier returned? Certainly, he hasnt handed over every thing, has he?
We didnt document the top-secret issues, so it must be positive!
The subordinate mendacity flat on the bottom stated this. Regardless of being threatened, Yeo Man-chung hadnt given away all the knowledge.
It needs to be that method. In any other case, each you and I are lifeless.
O-of course.
The governor intervened. And Lee Jeong-hyo is lifeless, and his riffraff obtained caught too!
Lee Jeong-hyo was, in reality, the confidant of the Kaifeng department supervisor.
Among the many Low Down Sect, he was a fixer who stored his id hidden.
However he immediately died by the hands of a fiend.
Till just a few months in the past, I had nothing to envy.
In actual fact, till then, Yeo Man-chung was fairly content material.
After turning into the department supervisor of the Kaifeng division, he labored diligently sufficient and embezzled simply sufficient funds.
He had gained belief by being sufficiently loyal to the mysterious and elusive sect chief, so it appeared like he was on the highway to success.
The issue arose at some point when the sect chief ordered him to retailer a sure merchandise.
I ought to have refused then.
He had by no means seen a doc with so many top-secret seals earlier than. Even Yeo Man-chung, the Kaifeng department supervisor, was not allowed to learn it because it was sealed.
The sect chief gave him a fist-sized field together with it.
Maintain this merchandise protected for 3 months.
Whatis this?
Yeo Man-chung couldnt assist however ask.
It was a field embedded with dozens of sensible gems. It seemed like a jewel case.
The sect chief was carrying a white masks, however someway, it felt as if he was smiling behind it.
Its associated to a hidden treasure map.
H-hidden treasure map? Has the hidden treasure map been discovered?
Sure, its nonetheless a narrative submerged beneath the floor. Maintain your mouth shut and take excellent care of the merchandise. By no means open it.
How may he refuse such a accountability? The field was sealed with beeswax and couldnt be opened.
However a hidden treasure map? That was, so to talk, a treasure map.
If a legendary martial artists hidden treasure map was discovered, it could trigger an uproar in the whole martial world.
There had been a catastrophe prior to now, the place after a hidden treasure map marking the situation of the Mysterious Tomb was discovered, lots of of martial artists, no matter their faction, fought and perished.
Such an merchandise associated to a hidden treasure map had come into Yeo Man-chungs palms.
Although he couldnt steal and run away with it as a result of his greed, an occasion occurred that ignited the flames of Yeo Man-chungs want.
Within the black market close to Kaifeng, the identical merchandise was acquired.
It was coated in grime and the embedded gems had been lacking, nevertheless it was clearly the identical kind of field.
Might this be the true one?
Maintain the field given by the Low Down Sect chief, return it later, and simply conceal and preserve the one from the black market.
Who is aware of what would possibly occur.
Yeo Man-chung would possibly seize the chance if a hidden treasure map was certainly found.
Maybe he may acquire a strong elixir or martial arts method, turning into the perfect on this planet, and even one of many Worlds Ten Grandmasters.
Yeo Man-chung was indulging in such silly goals and having fun with his happiness.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won, that son of a bitch!
One in every of his subordinates, Search engine optimization Saeng-won, ran off with the field. With out figuring out what it was, he had seen Yeo Man-chung polish and treasure it each day.
Whereas the Kaifeng department was turned the other way up attempting to catch Search engine optimization Saeng-won, the primary field entrusted by the Low Down Sect Chief was additionally stolen.
In a single day, Yeo Man-chung misplaced every thing.
It was round this time that the story of the fiend, the Face Plunderer, unfold far and large.
Yeo Man-chung knew that fiends look was associated to the stolen field.
After all, it could be; he had opened the field himself. The beeswax seal could possibly be redone by a talented craftsman.
And what occurred then
However, as they are saying, fortune comes after repeated misfortune.
As he was reminiscing concerning the previous, a subordinate who had simply seen off Jin Ri-yeon got here operating in a rush.
Department Supervisor! Weve discovered it.
What, what did you discover!
Search engine optimization Saeng-won, that man!
What!
The department managers eyes widened.
The subordinate proudly stated, Hes simply entered Kaifeng!
It was a substantial quantity, however for Yi-gang, who was carrying promissory notes value 500 nyang in his pocket, it was not a big sum.
Unaware of this, Search engine optimization Saeng-won inwardly cursed Yi-gang.
Yi-gang opened the bag of silver cash and handed half to Dam Hyun.
Dam Hyun, stunned, made a wierd noise.
Uh, oh, ah!
Maintain it, Senior Brother. Purchase one thing tasty with it.
A-are you actually giving this to me?
Yoo Jeong-shin had entrusted the administration of journey bills to Yi-gang, not trusting Dam Hyun.
It’s best to have some cash too, Senior Brother.
I cant consider it! Such a big sum!
For the primary time, Dam Hyun held the silver cash in his hand, trembling with pleasure. He seemed extraordinarily comfortable.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won watched him with envy.
And this, you’re taking it.
Me?
Yi-gang then supplied the opposite half of the silver coin bag again to Search engine optimization Saeng-won.
Search engine optimization Saeng-wons eyes fluttered. He couldnt perceive what was taking place.
Why this
Dont need it?
No! After all, I dont dislike it!
Judging from Yi-gangs actions up to now, Search engine optimization Saeng-won thought he would undoubtedly be disadvantaged of all of the silver cash.
Shortly grabbing the bag of silver cash, Search engine optimization Saeng-won checked out Yi-gang with a mixture of suspicion and astonishment.
Yi-gang smirked.
Contemplate it a reward for not messing round and conserving your promise.
Y-young Grasp
Search engine optimization Saeng-won was so moved he was getting ready to tears.
Although he had lived a lifetime of betrayal, he had his personal circumstances.
The surprising kindness from Yi-gang, whom he had not trusted in any respect, deeply touched his coronary heart.
Its a truth {that a} dangerous individual immediately appearing kindly can appear endearingly enticing.
Yi-gang, having no attachment to the silver cash, turned his consideration to the field.
So that is the field you stole from the Low Down Sects Kaifeng department supervisor.
It was a small field product of an unknown steel.
Sealed with beeswax to stop simple opening, it had unusual metallic decorations.
Whats this? Had been there initially gems embedded?
After I stole after I took it, many of the gems had been already lacking. The few that remained, I took out and bought! Search engine optimization Saeng-won answered truthfully.
Yi-gang continued to look at the field.
Metallic? As within the 5 Parts?
The character for steel within the 5 Parts was engraved on it.
The field felt as heavy as if it was totally product of iron. When shaken, there was a faint rattling sound, suggesting it was nearly full.
Whats inside?
Uh I dont know. I stored it sealed.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won tried to look calm as he spoke.
Then, Dam Hyun interjected, Appears like youre suggesting we should always open it? Ought to I strive?
Actually?
To look at the contents, that they had no alternative however to open it.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won flinched on the suggestion, however Yi-gang and Dam Hyun had been too centered on the field to note.
Nicely, lets do it.
I need to see too; Im curious.
Yi-gang and Dam Hyun leaned in near the field.
They started to peel off the beeswax seal that stored the field closed.
And at that second, Search engine optimization Saeng-won was plunged into the best dilemma of his life.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won stored glancing furtively at Yi-gang and the field whereas breaking out in a chilly sweat.
W-what ought to I do
The previous Search engine optimization Saeng-won would have performed nothing on this state of affairs. He would have simply let Yi-gang and Dam Hyun open the field.
It was Search engine optimization Saeng-won himself who had resealed the field with beeswax. He knew what was inside.
If it stays like this, for certain!
Search engine optimization Saeng-won tightly gripped the bag of silver cash.
The silver cash returned by Yi-gang felt heavy.
Rattling it, its actually a silly thought, however
Lastly, Search engine optimization Saeng-won made up his thoughts.
Wait! Dont open it!
Yi-gang and Dam Hyun turned their heads, trying intently at Search engine optimization Saeng-won, as if asking for an evidence.
Opening the field is harmful! Inside it’s
Oh, I used to be questioning when youd begin speaking.
Wh-what?
Whether or not youd converse up or preserve quiet.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won felt a chill run down his backbone.
Had Yi-gang guessed what was contained in the field?
If Search engine optimization Saeng-won hadnt stopped Yi-gang
I used to be planning to do that for those who tried to deceive us until the top.
Ah!
Yi-gang thrust the field in the direction of Search engine optimization Saeng-won.
Search engine optimization Saeng-won, terrified, ducked.
