Episode 109
The King of Fists Reveals His Identity
“With Jeonbi.”
When Danwoo Seong called his name, Jeon Birang, who had changed into the clothes given to her by the members of the Mukryong Party, nodded.
“Speak.”
Danwoo Seong said.
“Since you ran this way, the entire Housemaid will be on the move.”
Jeonbi-rang nodded.
"exactly."
Danwoo Seong said, pointing to the paper and brush on the table.
“Starting with the appearance of the leader of the house.”
Jeonbirang and I had been running all night, so we needed some sleep. However, Danwoosung knew all too well why he was doing this, so he sat down at the table and began to draw the outline of the night lord.
Danwoo Seong said while looking at the painting.
"Birang, if the entire House Night Alliance charges in, countless people will die. Of course, the House Night Alliance will die. So, you must find out where the House Night Alliance leader is. I'll do the killing. I'm not particularly interested in killing swarms of ants."
Jeonbirang replied while drawing a picture.
“I understand. But I don’t think Ha Jeong-hak, the leader of the Housemaid Clan, is the type of person to back down once a fight breaks out.”
“Is that so?”
"I'm not sure, but could you possibly become the leader of the Black Swordsman by acting like that? All of your subordinates are Black Swordsmen, but because they are Black Swordsmen, their unmanly behavior will be the biggest factor in rebellion. And that's because they are Black Swordsmen."
Danwoo-seong nodded.
“If that happens, I welcome it.”
He said it as if he was worried about Jeonbirang.
"By the way, judging by the number of troops in the Mukryongdang, even if you only count the elite of the Jipyameng, they're probably ten times more numerous than these. How can you possibly handle them? Do you have any reinforcements? If things go wrong, you and I could probably escape. The rest of us will likely be annihilated."
When Jeonbirang worried about Mukryongdang, who had shared a meal with him, Danwooseong responded like this.
“There is another expert here with similar skill to mine.”
Jeonbirang's eyes widened. Now that I think about it, he remembered that when Lee Ho-mun was killed by this man last time, his troops were killed by another master inside the Mukryongdang.
Danwoo Seong spoke in a calm tone to Jeon Birang, who was making a surprised expression.
"The number of troops is meaningless to this master. The more you have, the more fearful your enemies will be."
The iceberg is actually like that.
If you witnessed one or two people frozen, you might have thought it was because they looked like they'd been hit by a blood clot. But witnessing dozens or hundreds of people frozen was a whole other level. The hearts of those who were just watching would have been frozen.
Jeonbi-rang nodded.
“Then, there won’t be any power shortage at all.”
Danwoo Seong replied briefly.
“It was like that from the beginning.”

"You missed it? You're saying I sent the guests right away and you missed them? The old man boasted that he'd catch them."
Ha Min answered the question of the leader of the house night club, Ha Jeong-hak.
"That old man suffered the most serious injuries. He won't be able to contribute to the team for the time being."
Ha Jeong-hak said, suppressing his temper.
“You always said you were better than Jeonbi, but this is ridiculous.”
Ha Jeong-hak had no idea that he was the one who had driven Jeon Bi-rang out. If he had treated her with the utmost respect, at least Jeon Bi-rang wouldn't have fled to Mukryongdang.
The fact that Jeonbirang entered the Mukryongdang meant that he would fight against the Jipyameng in the future.
Ha Jeong-hak said to Ha Min.
“Hey, little brother.”
"yes."
"Jeon Bi-rang is a man who can even draw the structure of the buildings here. He can even draw the appearances of the executives. If he were to leave the Mukryongdang and join the Murim Alliance, he would have to wage an all-out war against the leader of the Yu clan."
“Yes.”
"I don't think this is the time to just talk back. Tell me what you think."
"Up until now, our response has been to minimize power losses. Now that we've reached this point, we have no choice but to launch an all-out war, annihilating everyone in the Mukryongdang complex and reducing the very site of the Mukryongdang building to ashes."
"That alone isn't enough. I plan to go all out anyway."
"If you're so determined, what's the problem? First, open the Brain Prison. It's full of prisoners imprisoned by past lords. Let's start by shoving them into the Mukryongdang."
"They're all powerful people. How can we possibly deal with them in this tight time? It's better to kill them all and leave."
"Should we kill all the prisoners? Is that really necessary?"
Ha Min looked at Ha Jeong Hak with a surprised expression.
Ha Jeong-hak said with a cold face.
"I'll set the entire prison ablaze in front of all the members, then I'll have to solidify my resolve for a decisive battle. The Black Sword won't be effective unless we use fear. I can't just kill my men and then set out, can I? Also, bring the injured old guest and behead him in front of the members. It'll serve as a warning to the other guests…"
Ha Min opened his mouth for a moment and then barely managed to respond.
"All right."
When Ha Min showed signs of hesitation, Ha Jeong-hak said with a displeased expression.
"Aww, this is already a fight where nothing remains but death and destruction. It seems you and I have different understandings of total war."
"No. How could that be? It seems so."
The only difference was the method.
Ha Jeong-hak said.
"The entire House Night Brigade will depart. You prepare. I will decide the departure time."
"All right."

As Ha Min was about to leave, Ha Jeong-hak spoke to his younger brother with a slightly different expression than usual.
“Minah.”
“Yes, brother.”
“Let’s have a drink together before we leave.”
"All right."
.
.
.
General Ha Min came to Ha Jeong-hak, holding a bottle of alcohol. Come to think of it, he couldn't even remember the last time his brother had a drink.
Ha Min was actually thinking this.
I wonder if the cool-headed brother will hold the military accountable and kill himself too······.
However, Ha-min was determined to die gracefully if his brother wanted to kill him.
Ha Min stood in front of the leader's office for a moment, wondering whether he should call him leader or older brother, and then knocked on the door.
“Brother, it’s me.”
“Come in.”
Ha Min said as he approached Ha Jeong-hak, who was cleaning his sword.
“I’m ready.”
Ha Jeong-hak replied while cleaning his sword.
“Good job.”
“When do you depart?”
“Let’s have a drink and do it right away.”
Ha Min put down the bottle of alcohol alone, took two glasses, and asked his brother.
“Brother, am I going to die too?”
When Ha Min asked while filling his glass, Ha Jeong-hak asked back.
“To whom, to me?”
"yes."
Ha Jeong-hak let out a short sigh.
"How could that be? He's been through so much. It's half your fault that I became the leader. That can't be."
Ha Min said as he raised his glass.
“That’s fortunate. I thought it would be a bit unfair if I died at the hands of my brother.”
Ha Jeong-hak also answered with a bitter expression while raising his glass.
"I guess I've been living wrong. If you even thought that."
Ha Jeong-hak said after sending the guards who were standing behind him like shadows outside.
“Minah.”
"yes."
“Listen without misunderstanding.”
“Please speak comfortably.”
Ha Jeong-hak said something unexpected.
"I thought about it for a moment, and seeing the other person, I thought maybe I should try negotiating. I figured there's no reason I couldn't do it."
“Are you kidding?”
“There’s no way this is a joke.”
After Ha Min and Ha Jeong-hak finished drinking, they put down their glasses.
Ha Min said, shaking his head.
"Brother… Just go fight and finish it like a true Black Swordsman. I've told you many schemes and tricks, but in this case, they won't work. Standing here thanks to schemes and tricks, I feel like only you and I are left. Even though they're subordinates, their hearts have drifted away from us. The previous leader we killed, along with the countless Black Swordsmen, will laugh at us from the depths. This time, like a true Black Swordsman, go after the enemy, fight, and kill again. That's the end for us brothers. There will be no schemes. This time…"
Ha Jeong-hak's words were unexpected, but Ha Min's words, who always came up with schemes, were also shocking to Ha Jeong-hak.
Ha Min said.
"Black is not a schemer by nature. Black is strongest when he is Black. Fighting is the best way. For Black."
“Is that so?”
"That's right. I no longer care about the enemy's identity. I don't need to know. This man has simply come to fight you, my lord. This man arrived to fight the old Black Sword, using no cunning from beginning to end. He meant to resolve everything with brute force, but I was slow to grasp the situation. That's why the leaders kept dying. They'll still be waiting. This means you, my lord, must step forward. There's nowhere to run now. At this point, even the subordinates of the House Night Alliance will start thinking like that unidentified man. So, the question is, who is stronger?"
Ha Jeong-hak replied while putting his sword back into its sheath.
“Well said. If I were weak in the first place, I wouldn’t be qualified to be the leader of the House Night Alliance… Let’s go.”
.
.
.
Ha Jeong-hak, somewhat shocked by Ha Min's words, unexpectedly changed his mind. He left Noho-gaek alive, left Noe-ok's prison door open, and left his weaker subordinates behind at Jipyemaeng before moving on. He also planned to bring only the masters he had used as his puppets during his reign of Jipyemaeng.
Because the number of troops was not large.
Nevertheless, it was a curious situation that the atmosphere became even more heavy.
Moreover, in front of the house night league, the leader of the league gave the following order to Ha Min:
“Hamin, listen up, General.”
Ha Min knelt down on one knee with a surprised expression.
“Yes, my lord.”
Ha Jeong-hak said.
"We've left a lot of troops in the House of the Night Alliance, so we need someone in charge. As the Vice-Leader, you'll be able to manage the internal affairs strictly. You're smarter than me, so you'll be able to handle it. And the guards on the left and right, stay out of this matter and protect Vice-Leader Ha-min."
The escorts answered first.
“I obey your orders.”
When Ha Min couldn't respond, Ha Jeong-hak said.
"answer."
“Oh, I understand. I will follow your orders.”
Ha Jeong-hak chuckled, patted the head of Ha Min, who was kneeling, and then led his subordinates to Mukryongdang.
"let's go."
The fate of death changes to not dying.
Was it because fate truly existed that men who didn't have to die ended up dying? Neither Ha Jeong-hak nor Ha Min knew why this fate changed with each passing moment.
Perhaps the reason fate keeps changing is because our hearts change every moment.
Ha Jeong-hak left the house with the resolve to die.
In fact, this was the proper response to the Darkness. Ha Jeong-hak also realized that his delay in responding had only resulted in the deaths of his subordinates.
As he imagined what kind of monsters awaited him at Mukryongdang, Ha Jeong-hak's heart grew hotter, just like when he first set foot on Heukdo.
.
.
.
A member of the Mukryong Party opened the door to the main hall, stuck his head out, and spoke.
“They say the night lord is coming outside.”
The expression on the face of the Mukryong Party member who was actually speaking was filled with disbelief and absurdity.
Danwoo Seong asked.
“How many people?”
A member of the Mukryong Party said.
“There are about seventeen or eighteen people standing at the entrance… Anyway, there are about twenty.”
Danwoo Seong went out to the main hall and spoke.
“Come in.”
Through the main gate, Ha Jeong-hak, the leader of the House Night Clan, and his followers quietly entered Mukryongdang. Ha Jeong-hak spoke to Jeon Bi-rang, who was standing next to Dan Woo-seong.
“Birang, I see you again.”
Jeonbi-rang nodded.
“Welcome, Your Majesty.”
Ha Jeong-hak looked at Dan Woo-seong. Even without any introduction, his presence was so striking that he immediately recognized him as the man in question.
Ha Jeong-hak said to Dan Woo-seong.
“I am Ha Jeong-hak, the leader of the house gang.”
Ha Jeong-hak was polite. He even introduced himself to Dan Woo-seong, who looked quite young. Suddenly, the Mukryongdang, Cheonguidang, and Jeon Bi-rang couldn't help but stare at Dan Woo-seong. Since arriving here, he hadn't revealed his name, let alone his identity, so they couldn't help but be curious.
Dan Woo-seong, who came down to the center of the hospital alone, looked at Ha Jeong-hak and his subordinates, then linked arms and introduced himself briefly.
“I am the king of power.”
The explanation was sufficient.
