Chapter 52: The Reappearance Of The Black-Haired Storyteller (5)

What the!

Yoon Daehyeop belatedly sensed a presence and drew his sword, swinging it behind him, but it was too late.

The Heavenly Death Star effortlessly dodged Yoon Daehyeops sword, kicked his legs out from under him, destabilizing his balance, and swiftly overpowered him.

Argh! Ack! Please!

The subjugation occurred in an instant.

Yoon Daehyeop swung his sword blindly, but he was no match for the Heavenly Death Star. The latter grabbed Yoon Daehyeops wrist, forcing him to drop the sword, and then flung it to the end of the alley.

In short order, the Heavenly Death Star neutralized Yoon Daehyeop and pressed down on his staggering shoulder, forcing him to kneel. The Heavenly Death Star then moved behind the dazed Yoon Daehyeop and held a sword to his neck.

What an incredible master!

Any resistance was futile. Kneeling, Yoon Daehyeop was greatly startled by the sword blade at his neck.

I didnt sense anything in this narrow alley.

How long had she been there? Yoon Daehyeop had been cautious about the entrance of the alley, fearing someone might see him threatening the storyteller, but not sensing anything was astonishing.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Despite being caught off guard, he couldnt mount any resistance. The ability to hide ones presence and the close combat skills were beyond comparison.

He hadnt even drawn his sword to use his swordsmanship; he had simply drawn it to immobilize Yoon Daehyeop. Yoon Daehyeop was overwhelmed by the vast skill difference.

Who who are you, esteemed master?

A master of this level in Chilgok County? Who could it be?

Could this be a master hired by another faction to target the marketplace? Hiring such a master would cost a fortune in gold. Was it all to gain control over the marketplace?

Was this barbarians trickery part of the plan? Yoon Daehyeop couldnt make sense of the situation.

What do you think?

Kang Yun-ho spoke with a relaxed smile.

Everything was a a trap!

He had simply thought the storyteller held a grudge and had lured him into the alley, but the appearance of such a master was unexpected.

Yoon Daehyeop felt that everything had been orchestrated by the storyteller.

A trap? Ive never set a trap. Youve come to your own demise by your own doing, Yoon Daehyeop.

What are you going to do to me?

You attempted to swing your sword at me when you thought you had the upper hand. Now, the tables have turned. What do you think I will do?

Until that moment, Yoon Daehyeop could have decided Kang Yun-hos fate. But now, it was Kang Yun-hos turn.

Kang Yun-ho asked him calmly, as though he were a judge.

Ill just kill him now.

The Heavenly Death Star spoke as if wondering why Kang Yun-ho would even bother asking such a question.

I was wrong! Please, spare my life!

An intense murderous aura overwhelmed Yoon Daehyeop. Death seemed imminent, and the fear of it engulfed him.

To survive, he had to beg for his life from the storyteller in front, not the master behind.

You were going to swing your sword at the storyteller for legitimately earning money. That became a grudge against me. Do you understand?

Im sorry! I never intended to kill you. I was just so angry that I wanted to rob you. I too belong to the righteous faction! People saw me dragging you; would I really kill you? Please show mercy!

It was true.

Although Yoon Daehyeop, enraged from being outsmarted and losing a substantial amount of money, had no intention of killing the barbarian storyteller. He, as someone from the righteous faction, at least maintained a certain standard of decency.

Kang Yun-ho looked at Yoon Daehyeop for a long time. It was a moment that divided life and death. The moment Kang Yun-hos lips parted, Yoon Daehyeops fate would be sealed.

In that brief moment, Yoon Daehyeop regretted the foolish act he had committed in his blind rage that had led him to this life-threatening situation.

As the moments of life and death ticked by,



The Heavenly Death Star looked at me again, her eyes slightly wider.

And you see, weve also made some extra income without having to repay in blood.

The Heavenly Death Star picked up a money pouch that had fallen when Yoon Daehyeop was subdued.

I had wanted to rob Yoon Daehyeops pouch, but now it was all mine. Sweet.

If you keep relying on your words like today, youll face great danger.

Oh. Are you worried about me?

I didnt trust my words. I trusted you, Sohee. I believed you would protect me when I was in danger.

I smiled contentedly and looked at the Heavenly Death Star. Honestly, it was really reassuring.

Thanks to her, I could be confident in that situation. It would have been better if she hadnt drawn the sword.

You always talk too much.

The Heavenly Death Star suddenly lowered her head and walked out of the alley, covering her face with her hat.

Whats with her?

Lets go together, Sohee!

I must protect her to the end!



Where did you go?

After dinner, the Heavenly Death Star said she would be back soon, but she had not returned.

I hoped the food was not to her dislike. After all, I had bought expensive food. Of course, I purchased different items since what she liked was not suitable for dinner.

When are you coming back?

I could not let her sleep on the floor for two nights in a row, so I planned to rent a four-person room or move to another guesthouse.

Sitting on the guest room bed, I waited endlessly for the Heavenly Death Star.

Im back.

The Heavenly Death Star, wearing her hat, opened the door and entered the guest room.

Sohee, youre back. I have something to talk about regarding our sleeping arrangements

I also have something to say about that.

The Heavenly Death Star interrupted me.

You want a room with separate beds, right? If the Heavenly Death Star suggested changing rooms, I should go down and change it right away.

But after saying she had something to tell me, the Heavenly Death Star remained silent.

Whats going on?

Looking closely, the Heavenly Death Star seemed a bit odd. Ever since she entered the room, she kept her head down, concealing her gaze with her hat, and her arms were hidden behind her.

Her shoulders twitched continuously as if she had something to say but was hesitating.

Sohee?

Was she embarrassed to suggest changing rooms? When I called her, the Heavenly Death Star met my gaze. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she nodded slightly.

Why this unease?

The Heavenly Death Star strode up to me, sitting on the bed, and presented something she had been hiding behind her.

Whats with this rope?

The object the Heavenly Death Star handed over was a very sturdy-looking black rope at first glance. Perhaps it was made of leather. It did not seem like an ordinary rope.

As I pondered the rope, the Heavenly Death Star made an unexpected request.

Can you tie me up with this?

Oh SM?
