#14 Crossroads (7)
Edward rented an entire room on the top floor of the inn and stared blankly at the ceiling.
It was then.
His secretary opened his mouth.
“Chairman, it looks like you should avoid it.”
“huh?”
“Once out.”
“sleep… Aww!”
Edward, who was suddenly caught in the back, struggled, but the secretary did not care and broke the window as it was.
That was the moment.
Whoops!
An explosion occurred. It was on the ceiling of the building where he had been lying until just before.
It wasn’t just the inn.
Explosions erupted from all over the building, and flames soared.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
A scream rings out.
People run out of the building in a panic.
In the meantime, Edward swallowed a dry spit.
If he stayed inside the inn, he would have died in an explosion.
“Hey, hey. what is this… .”
“This is Wolyeong.”
“… what?”
The secretary was looking around, frowning.
It was right after.
With a click, he pulled the pistol out of his pocket, aimed it somewhere in the air, and pulled the trigger.
Taang-!
When the gunshot fired, In-young fell to the floor in the dark.
Covering the whole body with a black coverall, it looked suspicious to anyone.
It wasn’t a lie.
Edward’s head spun.
‘Why are these guys here? If it was Wolyeong, Cheonik came out? Cheonik must have succumbed to the situation… .’
Combine the information you know with the current situation.
It infers what is likely to happen and weaves the immediately revealed circumstances into a cause and effect.
However, there was little information Edward knew.
If I had to make a reasonable guess… .
‘Was the elder’s information leaked?’
I don’t know where it is, but I’ve leaked information that Kasha is here.
And when it was delivered to Sang-hwan, Chun-Ik moved Wol-Young to target him.
Other than that, it is impossible to explain Wolyeong’s outing to this eastern village.
‘This is the least possibility.’
We’ll have to figure out where the information leaked later.
Edward ran his tongue over his lips and shouted.
“Secretary! stop!”
“yes?”
“stop! Stop!”
Suddenly, the secretary stopped in the middle of Yubin’s plaza.
Edward’s eyes twinkled and he rummaged in his bosom.
“How many bullets do you have?”
“… I just used one, so that’s 17.”
“okay? What about Wolyoung?”
“It feels roughly around 30.”
“Okay, not bad.”
With a clunk, Edward pulled out his revolver.
Since it costs astronomical money to make one, it was a small firearm that I made only two copies for my personal collection and shared with my secretary.
“I am 12 feet. Let’s shut up here together.”
“but… .”
“My friend, my friend. Don’t you feel that way?”
Edward smiled broadly at the frowning secretary.
“This is your chance.”
“… What chance?”
“A chance to look good to the shareholders!”
Saying that, Edward spun the magazine.
The chaos has just begun.
There is nothing you can do about the building, but it is possible to save enough lives.
It was bad news for Kasha, but unfortunately it was good news for Edward.
Isn’t it the point where you’ve already discovered your identity?
Knowing that your enemies are after you is enough reason to go to battle.
That wasn’t all.
Even for Edward himself, this was not such a bad accident.
Kasha’s attachment to this village was evident in just a few conversations.
If the damage is reduced to a minimum, it will be of great help in turning his 6% stake into a friendly stake.
“Let’s go!”
Edward threw away all his disguise tools and aimed and shot at one of Wolyeong’s assassins who was about to come out.
Taang-!
“Heuk!”
With a moan, the assassin rolls over and dies.
Edward felt attention turning to him.
A bright sales smile crossed his face.
“Everyone calm down! This Edward Wight is here!”
A dagger was shot at him.
The secretary’s body moved without leaving an afterimage, blocking the dagger with her hand.
And the gun he aimed at was right between the eyebrows of the assassin who fired the dagger.
bang!
dump!
The assassin has fallen.
Edward gave a thumbs up.
“As expected, there is only our secretary!”
“Shut your mouth.”
Tsk, the secretary clicked her tongue, but she couldn’t erase Edward’s smile.
In any case, it would be nice to see talented people recruited with expensive money, paying for the money.
The title of EW’s president’s secretary was not simply determined by clerical skills.
In addition to being the chairman of a giant corporation, he was named one of the top 7 on the continent, and even so, he had to be able to take on the role of escorting Edward, who was unable to defend himself because his own power was too low.
Former Armin’s Royal Knights.
A gangster who assaulted his superior and forfeited his title.
It was the resume of secretary Ludger Hermann.
“Now, let’s finish quickly and collect all the bombs!”
Edward agitated the secretary.
The secretary sighed deeply and immediately grabbed Edward’s revolver as well.
From noble mtl dot com
Tadadang!
Out of 100, 100, each time the gun fires, one by one falls down.
Edward nodded at his incomparable skill.
There was one fact that was not revealed to the public.
‘As expected, the skill of changing the old man’s knee isn’t going anywhere!’
The single bullet that made Sword Demon Kasha retire from the front line.
The person who shot it was Ludger Hermann, the exclusive secretary of EW’s president.

It was only natural that Danal felt this change.
Familiar silence, and the smell of gunpowder that thickens with the strange smell of medicine.
He, who even served as Wolyeong’s branch manager, couldn’t help but be ignorant of their methods.
The moment he entered Portman’s mansion and got Tyria off the carriage, Danal gave instructions in sign language.
– Take care of it.
In an instant, the four members scattered in all directions.
Veron stood there, and Tyria made a surprised face.
“Where has everyone gone all of a sudden?”
how do i say this… .
It was a moment that I thought about for a while.
Quaang!
The roof of the outbuilding exploded.
Tyria took a deep breath and looked in that direction.
‘Ah-oh! You bastards like Mojiri!’
Does it make sense to pay this month because you can’t handle one of them neatly?
I guess I will have to re-educate from the beginning.
Danal, who licked his lips, took a deep breath and spoke to Tyria with a hard face.
“that… Like a raid?”
“Same?”
“no see!”
In an instant, Tyria saw Kasha.
Was the saying that couples look alike true?
Feeling anxious for no reason, Danal added his words.
“Hey, don’t worry! Our members are adept at such unexpected raids! ah! I’m not saying I’ve tried it, I’m just saying I’m good at stopping it! what is it… Veron! You’ve learned something too, so stop the intruders!”
“Oh, yes, yes!”
Shasha shak! Veron disappeared from the sight of the two.
Danal’s gaze turned to Tyria again.
“Uh, then shall we hide for now?”
Tyria wasn’t looking at him.
His eyes were on the distant, distant mountains.
Tyria’s fists clenched tightly.
A blatant expression that Danal had never seen before was drawn on his face.
It was clear to see what he was thinking.
Danal shouted inwardly.
‘Depshow doesn’t have to worry about that human!’
However, it is clear that saying this is not different from committing suicide.
In fact, Danal was already on the verge of dying because of his heart.
It had to be.
‘Ooh, are you here to kill us? Death to the traitor?’
What I know from having worked there is that Wolyeong itself is a fairly closed organization.
In fact, Danal had personally tried to punish a traitor.
Think about it, if Kasha finds out that all these accidents are their fault, the aftermath will… .
‘Am I going to die?’
It was the moment that came to my mind.
“… I must go.”
“Yes, yes?!”
Tyria suddenly began to stride towards the horse.
Danal instinctively felt it.
The fact that if I let her go that way, she might be torn to pieces by the real Kasha.
The action that followed was not accidental.
“sorry!!!”
Cucumber!
“Ugh… !”
Danal hit Tyria on the back of the neck, knocking her out.
After getting on his back, he headed straight to the bedroom in the mansion.
As long as she doesn’t have the same level as the head of the branch, if she escorts her, there won’t be any problems.
It was the most reasonable decision Danal could make.

It didn’t take long for Elric to come down the mountain.
Most of the bodily injuries were stab wounds suffered on the battlefield.
The only fatal thing was a penetrating wound through the stomach, but even this was not so painful now.
It’s because I learned that swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship he learned from the man who gave this sword prize was a martial art that was absurd to be called a swordsmanship, but it was a martial art that made the pain of the body lighter as emotions reached the extreme.
It’s about internal injuries, you can recover later.
The broken knee has also been restored, but how can the hole in the stomach be a big deal?
Ripping off his jacket and wrapping it roughly around his stomach, Elric arrived at the mansion of the Wibin family, who had parted ways with Tyria.
It was the closest, and it was because the probability that she was still here could not be ignored.
“Kyaaaaaaaaa!!!”
It was a mess.
Screams and roars could be heard from inside, as if there were people who hadn’t left yet.
Elric straightened his sword, ran to it, broke the spear, and went inside.
teacher… No, there was no situation.
However, Wolyeong’s assassins were only confronting the knights escorted by the nobles.
There were obviously thirteen knights.
A red energy radiated from Elric’s body.
The eyes were turning bright red.
Quaang!!!
Upon landing, red aura occupied the entire space.
and,
Chew!
The bodies of the assassins were torn to pieces.
Elric let out a long breath.
I looked around, but Tyria was nowhere to be seen.
However, it was seen that the Weebin couple were hardened.
Elric approached them with rough steps and grabbed the head of the house by the collar.
“Where is your wife?”
It was a voice that boiled and cracked with blood.
The family head’s face was relaxed, and soon it was stained with fear.
he said in a trembling voice.
“Mmm, I left first… .”
Elric threw him and turned around.
As he crossed the hall, covered in blood and stepping on corpses with shining eyes, those who remained naturally made a path.
It was the moment to leave.
click-
A small shutter sounded.
*
It was a reporter who took a picture of Elric leaving with a look of anger.
The kind of reporter who came to get a small article after hearing the news that a person who had a close relationship with Prince Graham had been inaugurated at a Korean-American media company in the island.
He sat in the corner of the banquet hall, where the scent of blood still wafted through, laughing like a madman.
‘T, it’s a scoop.’
The journalist lived his life as a war correspondent in the past.
It is said that he has been pushed out of his job now, but the experience of those days did not become a lie.
I was able to immediately notice his figure standing in the middle at the moment of the bleeding right before.
What is the identity of that man who has been familiar for some reason since the first time I saw him?
The reporter’s lips caught on his ears.
The sense of crisis that I almost lost my life was erased at that moment.
‘Hey, the title of the article… !’
Sword Demon Kasha was crouching in the East.
That should be enough.
The reporter’s body heated up.
