The Evil Bastard of Murim

Chapter 30 - 29: Arrival at Mount Hua (4)

Clang! Thud!

“Ahhhh! It hurts!”

“...”

Wolryung was completely stunned by the scene unfolding before him.

What was this?

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Uh! No! Please spare us!”

“...”

Weren’t these bastards acting all high and mighty just a moment ago? What happened now? Where did that confidence from earlier go, huh?

If you were this weak, why pick a fight in the first place?

Thud!

And not only that. Seeing the sight of the bandit leader getting beaten up like that by Jin Ho...

“Ahhh! Y-Young Warrior!”

Thud!

“P-Please have mercy!”

Thud! Thud!

“W-We’re sorry! Please let us go!”

Thud!

Wolryung was totally speechless by all of this.

“...”

Thud!

“Please, young warrior! We won’t do this again! We’ll retire from our bandit job and do good deeds!”

Man... You’re the leader. Show some pride at least.

Forget about the bandit leader for a moment. Since when did Jin Ho become this ruthless?

Wasn’t he all righteous just a few days ago? He even pitied both villains and good people. Why did you change so suddenly? And what’s with that satisfied reaction of yours? That’s not the Jin Ho I knew.

And on the other side...

“You bastards! How dare you attack us!”

Thud!

Even the chubby boy who usually remained silent and wouldn’t do anything out of fear was beating one of the bandits ruthlessly.

“How dare you bastards! How dare you?!”

Thud!

“How dare you?!”

Thud!

You’re beating him ruthlessly, that’s fine. But what’s with that limited vocabulary dialogue? Don’t you know any dialogues other than ‘How dare you’?

Don’t bore the readers, man.

“How dare you, you bastard!”

Thud!

“...”

‘It looks like everyone around me is becoming crazy!’

Hell nope, you’re the craziest one here.

Wolryung let out a soft breath and looked up at the sky, which was slowly darkening.

‘Man... The world is changing so fast. Is this good or bad?’

Was this really alright?

Wolryung looked toward the scene again, where despite having the upper numbers the bandits were getting beaten too one-sidedly.

His gaze fixated on the bandit leader’s cloth and the symbol.

Indeed. That was surely the green mountain bandit uniform and symbol. And according to the novel they should be far stronger.

So, Wolryung had expected the bandit leader alone to be capable of defeating Jin Ho while taking on several first-rate martial artists at the same time. And on the other hand the other bandits should all have been at least first-rate martial artists. And that was also the lowest he could think.

But what was this now? He never expected an outcome like this. For some reason, Wolryung who never really cared about things like this was feeling a bit bad for the bandits.

Was it because they were getting beaten up so one-sidedly?

!!!

‘What the hell?! Get it together Junho! They are bandits. You shouldn’t feel like that for them. When did you become this soft?’

Wolryung shook his head right and left multiple times to clear his thoughts. Then he cleared his throat and shouted.

“Stop, everyone!”

“...”

At his command everyone stopped and turned toward him.

“Is there a problem, young master?” Jin Ho asked with a puzzled face.

“Nope, there isn’t.”

“Is that so? Then can I...”

“No. If you beat him anymore than this he is gonna die.”

The world was really changing too fast. Just a month ago, Wolryung would be the one to beat those guys up to death’s door and Jin Ho would’ve been the one to stop him saying ‘If you beat them up anymore they might die, young master.’

But now, in less than a month, everything has been turned upside down.

‘This won’t do.’

Wolryung started approaching them slowly while thinking, eyes closed.

‘If it goes like this...’

The story will go full south. And that will be too problematic. The protagonist’s personality changing like this wasn’t good at all.

‘I need to fix this as soon as possible. But for now...’

Wolryung opened his eyes, looking down at bandits with blank eyes as he went near them.

‘...let’s focus on this matter in the front.’

“You all.”

“Yes, sir.”

Wow, look at these bastards! Just a moment ago they were all arrogant like some king and now they were so polite like an adopted kitty. Now, Wolryung was feeling ashamed to act so politely in front of these bastards earlier.

“Who are you guys?”

“Hmm...?”

At the question of Wolryung all the bandits looked puzzled.

What was he asking? Wasn’t it obvious who they were?

The bandit leader answered, his face still puzzled.

“Isn’t it obvious, sir? We are bandits.”

“...”

‘No, that wasn’t what I was asking, you idiot! Of course, you are bandits. Why would I want to know that?’

But your question meant that way though.

“...”

As Wolryung felt like his question was wrong he cleared his throat before asking the bandit leader another question.

“Ahem... the uniform you’re wearing... isn’t that the green mountain bandit’s uniform?”

“...Huh?”

With a dumbfounded face the bandits and the bandit leader looked at his uniform.

Right. He was wearing that uniform. They were getting beaten up so badly that they almost forgot about it.

The bandit leader then lifted his head toward Wolryung, rubbing his neck and he smiled.

“Hehe... This? It’s just a fake uniform.”

“...?! ...What?! Fake?!”

‘Did I just get fooled by these useless bandits?’

Wolryung was now exuding a terrifying aura which sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

“Did you just say fake?”

Seeing Wolryung like this, the bandit leader swallowed nervously before answering.

“Y-Yes.”

‘What is this? Why is this young man acting like he is greatly offended?’

Of course, he is offended. Someone who always schemed against people if they get schemed themselves, they are bound to get offended.

“I see...”

With a dark face, Wolryung gave a sly smile.

“Jin Ho.”

“Y-Yes, young master?”

“Give me a sheathe. My hands are itching a bit.”

“...”

The bandit leader just dug his own grave.
