Return of Mount Hua Sect

are you this kid Are you a secular guy? (1)

"What?"

"Don't look at me with that face. I'm not saying I'm doing something stupid."

Yoo Jong-san waved his hands as if he was annoyed.

"Why does anyone know?"

"Look. Gong Rouge."

“……”

"You're not a chord person."

Gong Moon-yeon's face went blank.

What is this?

"You're the son-in-law of the chord, so I don't know. What does volcanic mean in the chord?"

"no!"

Gong Mun-yeon pursed her lips.

What kind of bullshit is this? Why is it important now to be a chord person and not?

"Look. Owner of Yu."

"Ah. All right. I know what you're talking about."

Yoo Jong-san took a deep breath.

"I know very well that in a world where Nara-nim sells money for money, it looks like the harmonies are doing."

Gong Mun-yeon looked at Yu Jong-san with a puzzled face. I wonder what the hell is going to come out of his mouth.

"By the way, I'm a chord person."

"...what does that mean?"

“Those who were born and raised in harmony grow up hearing stories about volcanoes. After being told that you too must enter a volcano and become a master of the world when you are out of nursery, how can a volcano erupt even after you realize that you can’t join a volcano due to lack of talent? It is said that they grew up listening to the point that they had been protecting the world and the world.”

Gong Moon-yeon tilted her head. What nonsense is this?

"It's not just me. My father and my grandfather grew up like that. Huashan is the pride of Shaanxi, the pride of harmony. And..."

Yoo Jong-san scratched the back of his head.

"If not me, it was the pride of my father and of my grandfather."

"...so what does that mean?"

"But what if I destroy the volcano to make some money? If I go to the afterlife, will my father leave me alone? I will be beaten for days and days and then again."

A low laughter broke out.

When Gong Mun-yeon turned her head with a stiff face, everyone closed their mouths and bowed their heads slightly.

"So? Are you going to give up a lot of money just for that reason?"

“What kind of renunciation is giving up? Haven’t you heard that Jang Mun-in will reward you?”

"You mean you believe that?"

"I can't believe it or not. What are you going to do with that money?"

Yoo Jong-san spat on the floor.

“I’m a person like you who will take money and leave. There are many ways to spend that money. If you go to a place like Hangzhou, there are plenty of places to spend it. But where will I go to earn money? ? Soju? That's not even funny."

Yoo Jong-san laughed unknowingly.

The situation is not even funny. Even when he climbed the volcano, he was engrossed in the thought of earning money and living in a mess. But now, aren't you saying this?

'It's crazy.'

You can't do it sanely. Yoo Jong-san knew very well just how stupid he was now.

But… … .

“You will regret it.”

"Of course you'll regret it. Damn it! You pretend you're doing this because you don't know I regret it! I know you better than you! Of course you'll regret it!"

Yoo Jong-san shouted.

"By the way, it would be less unpleasant than ruining a volcano with my own hands!"

Mun-Yeon Gong looks at Mt. Yu with an absurd look.

Yoo Jong-san also took a deep breath several times to see if his excitement did not subside.

"Look. Gong Rouge. I'm still worthy of a living today. If I try to protect the volcano here right now, I'll take my money. Then I can just take care of the money and live a decent life. But here If I pull out even the pillars of the volcano, I will live in regret with useless money until the day I die. I don't want to live like that."

Gong Mun-yeon clenched her teeth as she stared at Yoo Jong-san.

'Are you crazy?'

I couldn't understand what the hell he was talking about. But… … .

'There is no need to understand.'

I'm going to go into the pit of fire with my own feet, but what do you mean by that? Just because that one person is missing doesn't mean the situation will change.

"I want you to do whatever you want. It won't change anything if you are alone."

"Who said one?"

Gong Mun-yeon's movements stopped abruptly. Then, the head slowly turns. His slow-moving head seemed to tell how hot he was now.

"Foreword Master."

Seo Moon-jong walked up and down and stood next to Yu Jong-san.

"What are you doing now?"

"Can't you see?"

Gong Moon-yeon frowned.

But Seo Moon-jong was not the only one who came forward. Perhaps the voice of Yoo Jong-san was a trigger, and five of the 20 or so people who came together went to the side of Yu Jong-san.

"Heh, darn good."

Gong Mun-yeon shook her head.

'Have you seen such pathetic writers?'

How could a writer with a reputation as a merchant make such a stupid choice? Well, that's why I'm living in a country like this and fucking living.

'No, no.'

Gong Mun-yeon's face, who could not hide her pitiful heart, quickly hardened carefully.

'If the opponent wasn't a volcano, they wouldn't have made such a choice either. To that extent, the influence of the volcano on the chord is still absolute.'

If you are swayed by your emotions, you will not be able to make good judgments. Downplaying your opponent is something a merchant should never do. It is right to think that the potential of the volcano, which he was so worried about, was displayed at this moment.

Gong Moon-yeon looked at the people who had passed over to the side. Everyone is making faces that are regrettable but filled with remorse.

'Stupid things.'

Pride of not abandoning the volcano until the very end?

That is only meaningful when the volcano continues. Even if they postpone the payment date, Hwasan cannot afford to pay the rest of the money. In the end, they blew a huge sum of money due to the wrong judgment of the moment.

Gong Mun-yeon, who had finished his decision, asked calmly.

"Is there no one else who thinks differently?"

The remaining merchants looked at Hyeonjong and Gong Mun-yeon, and then slowly turned their heads.

"Jang Moon-in."

“……”

Gong Mun-yeon smiled softly and said.

"I didn't know that the name of the volcano would be so high yet. But it seems that's it. The rest of us have no intention of delaying the payment, so I want you to stop and repay the money we lent you."

Hyungwon smiled vaguely. His gaze was not on Gong Mun-yeon, but on the merchants behind him.

"Are there really no more people to help the volcano?"

“……”

When there was no answer, Hyeonjong quietly nodded his head.

"Then it's unavoidable."

"Jang Moon-in."

"Do not rush. Gong Rouge."

Gong Moon-yeon flinched.

Hyeonjong's voice was soft, but there was a power that he couldn't dare to resist.

Hyeonjong, who looked around at Mount Yu and a few merchants, smiled brightly.

"Still, it's enough just to confirm that there are still people who have a will to the volcano. Doesn't that mean that the world hasn't abandoned the volcano yet?"

When Gong Mun-yeon was unable to do this or that, Hyeonjong raised his voice loudly.

"Unam!"

"Yes. Long doorman!"

"Bring it!"

"Yes."

Unam bowed her head and walked quickly to somewhere. Seeing this, Gong Mun-yeon frowned slightly.

'Are you really ready?'

It can't be.

Just because Gong Mun-yeon was playing with both hands does not mean that she was playing with both hands. If there had been someone who had lent that amount of money to Hwasan, it would surely have come to Gong Mun-yeon's ears.

So, what is bluff?

No, that doesn't make sense either. Bluff is what you call when you have a back. But now the volcano has nothing to do with it, right? It is not a situation that can be solved by pretentiousness.

Before Gong Mun-yeon could organize her thoughts, Unam returns. I was alone when I went, but there were three people on my way back.

'Is it a sage ship?'

Judging by the age of those who came with Unam, they seemed to be the elders of the volcano. One of them held a large chest in the hand.

"Jangmunin, I brought it."

Hyunjong pointed forward with his chin.

"Put it down."

"Yes."

chin.

The chest is placed on the floor.

Gong Mun-yeon looked up at the chest and raised her head.

"this is……?"

"Check it out, because there is money in it that you have to pay back."

“…Did you say it’s riches now?”

"That's right."

Gong Moon-yeon looked at the chest with suspicious eyes.

'I don't think he's going to play with me.'

Hyeonjong, whom he knows, is not the type of person to be a farmer in this kind of situation. So, does that mean that there is really riches in me?

A lot of thoughts came to my mind, but now was not the time to think. There is a chest right in front of you, what do you mean by thinking about it?

Gong Mun-yeon approached the chest as if possessed. And slowly opened the lid.

His eyes narrowed sharply as he checked what was inside.

"This……."

riches?

Could this book be a treasure trove?

"Jang Moon-in. Are you kidding me now?"

"Is that possible? I'm sure I gave you what you wanted."

"What is this?"

“Read it and you will know.”

Gong Mun-yeon, seeing the calm face of Hyeon-jong, bit his lip and pulled out one of the books in the box. Then he started to check the contents from his seat.

saraak.

saraak.

The sound of turning the pages spreads through the silent volcano. Each time one more page was turned over, Gong Mun-Yeon's face was stained with earth.

"Hey, this is..."

Gong Mun-yeon, whose face had completely changed, looked at Hyeonjong, shaking his hand holding the book.

"Hey, what is this..."

When Gong Mun-yeon was unable to speak, the merchants who were watching Gong Mun-yeon sneakily approached Gong Mun-yeon.

"What is that? Gong Rouge?"

"Let's see, too."

“……”

When Gong Mun-yeon did not answer, the merchants glanced at the chest. After confirming that there are still several books left inside, the people sneak out their hands and take out the books.

"What the hell is this...?"

The faces of those who checked the contents with slightly nervous faces soon turned suspicious.

"Isn't this a ledger?"

"exactly."

Hyunjong nodded his head softly.

“It looks like an old ledger, but why all of a sudden…?”

Hyunjong smiled brightly.

"The ledger you are looking at is a ledger created by the Volcano Squadron for the management of the business."

“…Yes? What the hell is that?”

Hyungwon's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Gong Rouge. Did you check?"

“……”

Hyeonjong's voice resounds clearly.

"The ledger contains information proving that the owner of the Hwaeum business you are running now is Hwasan."

"Yes?"

"Oh, no, what the heck does that mean? Longman?"

"quiet."

Hyeonjong firmly cut off their words. And he opened his mouth to those who had not yet come to his senses.

“The volcano has been kind to you. But I think you have repaid your favor. No matter how good the volcano is, it is a funny place that even shows kindness to the rats who bite their master without knowing it. is no."

The strict rebuke of Hyeonjong is pouring out sharply.

“Therefore, Hwasan will confiscate not only the businesses you are running, but also the assets you have accumulated based on that business, based on this book.”

Lightning struck the dry sky.
