Chapter 94: Yongsan Park (4)
“Jang Jeongho…!”
As Kim Doha called out the name of Dongdaemun Strongest Sword, a golden wave erupted around Jang Jeongho’s body.
Paaah!
It could have ended as a simple power struggle, but using the ‘Strongest Sword’s momentum’ was a different story.
It was a very rude provocation, testing the opponent’s resolve.
“Urgh…!”
As Jang Jeongho’s momentum enveloped Kim Doha, he had to grit his teeth.
It was because of the throbbing pain as if his heart was being squeezed.
He couldn’t stop Jang Jeongho’s momentum.
‘Damn it.’
However, he couldn’t afford to show any signs of weakness here.
Not only Jang Jeongho and the outsider, but also the Strongest Sword from Mapo and the Chief of Yongsan Police Station were present.
‘If I show weakness here, it’s over.’
So, amidst the sweating and enduring pain, an unexpected savior appeared.
It was none other than…
“Kraaaaagh!”
Jang Jeongho.
“Huh…?”
Why was he screaming when he was the one who released the momentum?
An absurd situation that momentarily made even the piercing pain in the heart forgettable.
And even in this situation, Jang Jeongho twisted his body, screaming fiercely.
Thanks to that, the fact that Kim Doha was overwhelmed by Jang Jeongho’s momentum was quietly buried.
“What’s this? Did Gyeongbuk win?”
“No matter what, rolling around like that…?”
Mapo and the Strongest Sword from Seongbuk only thought that the outsider’s momentum had overwhelmed Jang Jeongho.
There was nothing else significant between them.
Even if we call it physical contact, it was just a handshake, they didn’t exchange proper blows.
But the three people involved, Jang Jeongho, Jeong Yeongwoo, and Kim Doha, knew well.
It was Jang Jeongho alone who had used the Strongest Sword’s momentum just now.
‘What’s going on? It’s definitely not the momentum. Did he use some other technique?’
Of course, Kim Doha, who had watched everything nearby, didn’t know exactly what had happened.
Anyway, what was important to him right now was…
‘Thankfully, he didn’t get caught.’
Because Jang Jeongho’s flare-up succeeded in saving face.
“Who… What’s your identity?”
Eventually, as Jang Jeongho staggered halfway to the ground, trembling lips, he glared at Yeongwoo.
In response, Yeongwoo slightly clenched his right hand and smiled wryly.
“I just shook hands because you asked.”
That was also true.
All Yeongwoo did was shake hands with the opponent.
But as soon as the handshake started, Jang Jeongho exerted force as if to crush Yeongwoo’s hand, and Yeongwoo, in turn, raised his output against him, resulting in the explosion.
‘Golden Punishment’ considered the opponent as an enemy and triggered pain infliction.
‘Considering that he doesn’t have many overlapping equipment, he seems to have invested heavily in his stats, surprisingly capable.’
From Yeongwoo’s perspective, experiencing the third day’s Strongest Sword’s momentum indirectly had its merits.
‘Even if I fight alone, I think I can win easily.’
While staring at Jang Jeongho, Yeongwoo thought to himself, the guy suddenly flinched and stepped back.
‘This guy…'”
Nevertheless, he didn’t rush back at Yeongwoo.
If they were to engage again, it wouldn’t be just a ‘joke’ anymore; it would be a decisive battle, especially since he had no confidence in defeating that outsider.
Even when faced with the Strongest Sword’s momentum at close range, he didn’t bat an eye. He was definitely not an ordinary opponent.
“…”
As an awkward silence ensued, the inexperienced Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword, Lee Yoobin, spoke up.
“If there’s nothing else to do, let’s call it quits. People should be coming soon.”
There was a hint of laughter in her words.
“This bitch…!”
Jang Jeongho glared, but Lee Yoobin wasn’t someone to be trifled with either.
“Well, what can I do? He’s the one acting out alone.”
Nevertheless, she didn’t add the word ‘retard’.
She didn’t attach it probably because one of the ‘people’ she mentioned was already visible in the distance.
“Sister!”
Lee Yoobin waved her hand behind Yeongwoo.
Then, Kim Doha, the Yongsan’s Strongest Sword, approached Yeongwoo and whispered softly.
“Songpa’s Strongest Sword, Oh Yeonhee.”
“Huh…?”
Yeongwoo was perplexed by the sudden guidance, but he followed Kim Doha’s gaze for the time being.
Swish-
Then, a tall woman with a sturdy figure came walking from the other side.
“Unbelievable.”
Yeongwoo thought he knew why Kim Doha deliberately mentioned Songpa’s Strongest Sword.
It was because Oh Yeonhee was someone he recognized, a kind of celebrity.
Oh Yeonhee04.
A former professional basketball player and current Songpa’s Strongest Sword.
Not only was she selected as the MVP of the domestic pro league for four consecutive years, but she was also well-known as a medalist in the Asian Games.
Of course, Yeongwoo only knew her face thanks to entertainment programs.
Due to her background as a famous athlete and her tall stature and excellent eloquence, she once enjoyed tremendous popularity.
‘But why is she…?’

While staring at Oh Yeonhee’s shadow stretching out on the grass, Yeongwoo doubted his own eyes.
As it was evident now, despite being a celebrity, Oh Yeonhee hadn’t been nominated for elimination.
That was because she was not usually the subject of gossip and wasn’t someone who could easily make enemies.
But why would someone like her become a Strongest Sword?
A Strongest Sword was essentially a murderer.
They killed people to become a Strongest Sword, and if necessary, they would continue to kill.
“…”
As Yeongwoo blankly stared at the newly appeared Strongest Sword, Oh Yeonhee also looked at the outsider with an expressionless face.
Then, she glanced at the fallen Jang Jeongho and slightly lowered her head towards Kim Doha before speaking.
“It seems there was some commotion here.”
Oh Yeonhee’s height was a whopping 186 cm.
Her weapon was also a long, curved sword, which added to her imposing presence.
“Ah… Yes. But it’s been resolved well.”
Kim Doha said with a confident smile, and Oh Yeonhee nodded silently.
It was a completely different atmosphere from what she had seen on television.
Perhaps many things that happened along with the reset had made her more reticent.
“Sister!”
As Lee Yoobin waved her hand again, Oh Yeonhee brightened up and greeted them with her long arms, warning them like a continuation of a martial arts move.
“Master-nim is also coming this way. It might be better to seat the guests separately.”
It was a message to Kim Doha, the owner of the meeting room.
From the nuances, it seemed Oh Yeonhee also knew what had happened to the son of Gangnam’s Strongest Sword.
“…He’ll be here soon. Understood.”
As Kim Doha’s expression stiffened, Oh Yeonhee approached Lee Yoobin.
Now, there were only three left on the scene.
“What did you do?”
Jang Jeongho asked, feeling that something was off in the conversation, and Yeongwoo answered without hesitation.
“I killed Jeong Hyunsik’s son.”
“What… Why on earth?”
“He suddenly came and started a quarrel.”
“…”
Jang Jeongho, who had been like a cat that got the cream, suddenly fell silent.
But the atmosphere didn’t become awkward again.
Since someone else had arrived during that time, all the Strongest Swords in the meeting room who had been watching this way stood up at once.
“…”
Since the reaction wasn’t even this much when Oh Yeonhee appeared, Yeongwoo could instinctively tell.
‘He’s here.’
As Yeongwoo slowly turned around, he saw the silver-grey carriage sliding smoothly into the meeting room at just the right moment.
Respect.
Mourning.
“Ah.”
Yeongwoo’s heart pounded.
It finally hit him that he had killed someone’s son.
Behind the carriage, another black sedan followed, and Yeongwoo thought that Jeong Hyunsik would be in that one, so he kept his eyes on it.
However, where Jeong Hyunsik was actually riding.
Ba-aang…
As the carriage stopped abruptly, the driver’s door opened.
Thunk.
Then, the driver in a black suit stepped out onto the grass.
Thud.
With the title ‘Gangnam’s Strongest Sword’ affixed above his head.
‘Gangnam Strongest Sword, Jeong Hyunsik.’
Yeongwoo recited the driver’s identity in his mind.
As if hearing it, Jeong Hyunsik turned his head towards Yeongwoo.
Shoooo…
For a moment, Yeongwoo felt like he was standing in front of a calm wave in the winter sea.
From Jeong Hyunsik’s face, which was silently watching this way, he felt the cold and lonely sea.
Perhaps even if there hadn’t been a title above his head, Yeongwoo would have known.
That he was the father of the deceased.
Thud!
Kim Doha and Jang Jeongho were already moving as far away from Yeongwoo as possible, and meanwhile, the passenger door of the carriage opened.
Thunk!
And out stepped someone Yeongwoo knew well.
Lee Jangho73.
He was the only man who survived at the scene where Jeong Hyunsik’s son was killed.
Lee Jangho glanced alternately between Yeongwoo’s face and his horse, then moved his lips in a mocking manner towards Jeong Hyunsik.
That’s the man who did it, or something similar.
Then, Jeong Hyunsik said something to Lee Jangho and placed a chrysanthemum on top of the carriage, which had been pinned to his chest.
And then.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, a dagger pierced through Lee Jangho’s forehead.
“Gasp!”
“Huh?”
The other Strongest Swords, who had been holding their breath, were in an uproar.
Although Lee Jangho hadn’t been able to protect his son, didn’t this help narrow down the killer?
‘Is he planning to kill anyone related to his son’s death?’
Yeongwoo pondered.
In that case, it would be difficult for Jo Sangik, Gwanak’s Strongest Sword, to survive.
Thud.
As Lee Jangho’s head with a hole in it fell to the ground, the people in black suits from the previously quiet sedan rushed out.
Yeongwoo didn’t know them well, but they were Dongjak’s Strongest Sword Lee Hanwook and employees of Taewon Group.
However, they didn’t surround Yeongwoo or anything of that sort.
They simply pulled out Lee Jangho’s body and loaded it into the trunk of their vehicle.
And finally, Jeong Hyunsik began to move.
Silently, he walked towards the outsider who had killed his son.
