Episode 262: If you donât have taste, you die.
Hwasunâs hands trembled with fear.
âIf it doesnât taste good, youâre dead too!â
The words the servant who had brought me there said as he left the kitchen kept ringing in my ears.
When I first came to Feng Shui Lodge, I never dreamed that the atmosphere would be like this. It is said that the life of a business person is one where one has to come and one has to go, but one would never have guessed that it would be such a bloody atmosphere.
And those words werenât just a threat.
âbe careful. âTwo people died in this kitchen today.â
This was something Sibi secretly told me while bringing food ingredients to the kitchen. She was friendly with Hwasun. When he went out to buy groceries, he would sometimes stop by a guesthouse to buy noodles or dumplings. Each time, they gave me a large portion so that I could eat more.
âA scary master came to the mountain lodge, but he had very picky tastes, so he pulled out the mountain masterâs tongue and killed him. Suksoo from Bukhwachon, who was dragged behind, died even more horribly. What should I do!â
The sight of Sibi stamping his feet in fear seemed unfamiliar, as if it were someone elseâs business.
Hwasun kept making mistakes while cooking. I tried adding different seasonings, but my hands were shaking and I even dropped the bowl.
I know how good Bukhwachon Suksu is at cooking. If his skills hadnât worked, the same would have happened to him. Did they really kill him?
What if you die?
Her heart sank and her sonâs face came to mind. I missed my son so much. Now is the time to come.
It was right then.
âmother!â
When she turned her head in surprise, her son was standing at the entrance to the kitchen.
âHyuna! Is it Hyun? Hyuna!â
She was so shocked that I was worried that she would faint.
Samho ran and hugged his mother.
âmother!â
âHyuna!â
She was so moved that she couldnât say anything as she hugged her son.
But then she lowered her voice and spoke.
âWhy are you here? Hurry up! âGo and wait in the guest room!â
âMom, why are you doing this?â
âGo! âIâll tell you later, so go quickly.â
All Hwasun thought was that she had to send her son away somehow.
Unlike her, who was in a hurry, Samho calmly held her hand.
âWhy are you so thin?â
In the past three years, my mother has grown very old. I felt like you went through a lot of hard work.
As she held hands with her son, tears flowed from Hwasunâs eyes. Even in her fear, she was so happy and happy to see her son. I was so happy that tears kept flowing.
Samho also shed tears when he saw his motherâs tears.
âIâm sorry for not being able to visit you often.â
âno. It must be hard to work. Itâs okay, itâs okay. Now that youâve said hello, go and wait.â
Her heart was racing. If you stay here for no reason and get noticed by the people at the lodge, it will be a big problem.
âgo! âMom will cook you dinner later.â
Hwasun tried to force her son away. I wish I could see your face like this.
She knew that her son had committed himself to the devilâs cult, but she had no idea what he was doing. You must be going through all kinds of hardships to get a position. I just assumed that.
At that time, other people entered the kitchen. It was the sword dance and daytime crew colleagues.
Hwasun was surprised because she thought the mountain attendant had come.
âMy son came for a moment. Iâll be there soon. going.â
Then Geommugeuk approached her with long strides and greeted her politely.
âNice to meet you, Mom.â
Samho introduced sword dance to a surprised Hwasun.
âHe is the person I serve.â
Hwasun was surprised by the unexpected situation. Soon she tried to bow down to Geommugeuk. Geommugeuk quickly stopped her and held her hand.
âItâs called non-polar. Please treat me like your son.â
The moment Hwasun watched the sword dance, her war-torn mind calmed down.
Maybe it was because of the eyes. I have seen many people in my business, but this was the first time I had seen someone with such clear eyes.
I felt comfortable and relieved. I was confident that I could trust and entrust my son to someone with eyes like these.
âI meet a precious person.â
Since she did not know Geommugeukâs identity, she assumed that her son was the Confucius she served.
âPlease take good care of my son.â
âThanks to my son, I am doing well. âYou have a wonderful son.â
âIt is thanks to Confucius taking good care of me. thank you.â
This time, Samho introduced other colleagues.
âThese are my colleagues.â
This time, the Red Army and the escort soldiers greeted her.
Jeokyeon spoke to her as a representative.
âHyun is doing so well that we are receiving a lot of help.â
âPlease take care of my son.â
I felt sorry for her. What if we had met when things werenât like this? He would have cooked the meal himself and served delicious food. This is the first time my son brought a colleague.
âWe have to get him out quickly.â
I thought that if we were caught with a group of people, the problem might get bigger. Your own son is a son, but you will also put other peopleâs precious sons in danger.
Everyone was so young. Didnât they say that there were dozens of warriors in the feng shui lodge and that a scary master came by?
âYou quickly go down to the guest room with Confucius. If you look in the kitchen, there is food to prepare for you, so I will take care of it. Hurry up! hurry!â
At that time, a manâs voice was heard outside.
âHave you finished cooking? I said it clearly. âIf it doesnât taste good, your life is at stakeâŠâ
The unmanned person who entered the kitchen was startled.
Inside, men were lined up left and right, looking at him.
âWhat are you guys?â
The man tried to pull out the sword, but his arm wouldnât move. Before I knew it, the demonic blood had been subdued.
âWhen exactly?â
Geommugeuk approached him and put his hand around his shoulder in a friendly manner.
âIf the food doesnât taste good, you have to die? why?â
He asked in a friendly manner, but Geommugeukâs eyes were extremely cold.
âThatâŠâ
âNo. âYouâll find out when you go and meet him in person.â
Geommugeuk came to Hwasun and said.
âIs your motherâs cooking ready?â
âBut itâs gotten cold and I think I need to reheat it.â
âitâs okay. I also have a knack for heating things up. âItâs going to be very hot today.â
Geommugeuk took the dish she made on a tray.
And gave orders to the escorts.
âYour mission today is to protect your mother. âWe each protect our parents with the same spirit.â
The guards, including Samho, lined up around Hwasun. It was a formal formation with six people escorting one person.
Sword Dance kicked the butt of the warrior who was being suppressed by the demon blood.
âletâs go.â
Before I knew it, the warriorâs demonic blood had been released. The martial artist took the lead, frightened by the surprising inaction of the sword dance.
âAs long as you go out to places where there are a lot of people!â
The martial artist took the lead, followed by a sword dance holding a tray.
Again, the six bodyguards walked behind them, surrounding Hwasun.
Hwasun was still anxious, but her son was by her side and reassured her with a reassuring expression. I donât know how this situation is going, but it felt so good to see my son like this. She prayed and prayed that todayâs work would end safely.
There were many unmanned mountain cabins in the wide front yard.
The warrior in front glanced at them.
âWhat are you doing? Come and take these guys down!â
But something surprising happened. The warriors who were passing by and the warriors who were running towards us all froze like stone statues.
Before they knew it, their demon blood and demon blood had been suppressed.
The warrior in front was astonished.
âYouâre going to suppress them by carrying a tray? how?â
It was as if poison was spreading into the air. The moment the eyes met with Geommugeuk, the demon blood and blood blood were suppressed. No one was an exception, whether it was a distant uninhabited island, a nearby uninhabited island, Gusu, or the sewer.
âah!â
The Jeok Yeon and other escort soldiers exclaimed in exclamation at the amazing sight unfolding before their eyes. I knew through rumors that Su Jiaozhuâs martial arts skills surpassed that of the Majon, but I had no idea it would be this great.
So they entered the building and headed to the residence of the head of Feng Shui Mountain Lodge.
The soldiers guarding in front of his door also stopped for a moment. One guy was trying to say, âWhat are you guys?â but he stopped and opened his mouth, and the unmanned person next to him raised his eyes and then stopped, making him look strange.
Two people were talking in the room.
Seated at the head table was a blood swordsman. He, who committed all kinds of evil deeds, was already a member of the Murim Alliance as a martial artist.
The person sitting across from me was Lee Eom, the head of Feng Shui Mountain Lodge.
âNo matter what, you are asking too much.â
âNot only the Honam First Representative Bureau but all the political leaders in the central plains will think of me as an enemy. âShouldnât I do more?â
âDidnât you promise to divide it into thirds from the beginning?â
âWhen I thought about it, it wasnât fair. âWhy donât you and him sit in the corner of the room and each take a third of the money?â
âI am the person who provided information about this incident.â
âThen reduce his share.â
âAre you saying that even though you know who that person is?â
âSo youâre like this without knowing who I am?â
Lee Eom sighed inwardly. This is why you shouldnât join hands with these guys.
I was vehemently opposed to it, but that person was so stubborn that it ended up being like this. Maybe he expected this situation. Since your share wonât be taken away anyway, you should take care of it yourself.
At that time, the door opened and Geomgeuk entered inside.
Since the sword dance did not reveal any prayers, the two people thought it was just an attendant who brought food.
Geommugeuk put the dishes down on the table.
Hyeolsu-geom said to Geommu-geuk.
âPlease wait a moment.â
Hyeolsu-geom lifted his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.
âTsk!â
I immediately spit out what was in my mouth onto the floor.
Lee Eom frowned at that sight. The reason he had already brutally killed two of his masters was not because the food was not tasty. Itâs about putting pressure on yourself. If you fail, I can kill you like this too. Give me more money.
Because his martial arts skills were of the highest order, Lee Eom had no choice but to suffer this humiliation. Still, the reason he couldnât behave carelessly was because of him.
Still, I canât give in. If I did what he wanted, I would have nothing left to participate in this dangerous task. In the first place, he was the one who figured out that this was a major incident that only happens once every few years.
âWho made this?â
âThis is a dish made by Mrs. Hwa.â
âWhere is she now?â
âItâs outside the door.â
âTell them to come in right now!â
âWhy are you doing that?â
âI made such a tasteless dish, so I need to pull out my tongue. âWhat would you do with such a useless tongue?â
When Geomugeuk turned his head to the door, the door opened as if he had been waiting.
Hwasun was standing in the hallway in front of the door. And there were three guards standing on either side of her. The people who took the lead were Jeokyeon and Samho.
Hyeolsu-geom thought they were the masters of the Feng Shui Lodge.
So he glared at Lee Eom and said.
âWhat are we going to do now?â
Lee Eom couldnât understand what was going on. You never gave an order to protect that woman? And when I looked back, I realized that they were not my people.
At that time, Lee Eom saw the pattern on Jeok Yeonâs chest.
âWhat about that pattern? Surely not?â
Lee Eom was nervous inside. There was only one organization in this martial arts group that used a demon as its symbol. I also heard that ordinary demons cannot use that symbol and only elites can use it.
âDid he send it? But why are you protecting that woman?â
Lee Eomâs mind was confused.
The next thing to surprise him was now.
Geommugeuk picked up new chopsticks and ate the dish.
âIs it so delicious? âDo you think your tongue is the problem?â
The blood test was so absurd that he laughed. Since people donât suddenly go crazy, I thought this was something Lee Eom ordered.
âWhat are you doing!â
Hyeolsu-geom shouted at Lee Eom.
Lee Eom looked at the sword dance without saying a word and checked his eyes.
Geommugeuk looked at Blood Sugeum and said coldly.
âTry it again.â
âOh, you crazy bastard!â
Just when the blood sword was about to cut down the sword dance.
The sword dance performance revealed demonic energy in earnest. A huge demonic force pressed down on Eom.
âUgh!â
The blood inspector couldnât move a single finger.
âwhat is this? âUgh!â
This was my first time experiencing such terrible magic. I couldnât breathe due to the pressure of Taesan. I was overcome with fear that I might suffocate if things continued like this. A master of your level could die just by praying? It sounds crazy, but itâs happening now.
He had lived his entire life without fear, but at this moment he felt the fear of death. Even if the opponent is a demon, I donât have the confidence to be discouraged. Now I didnât even dare to look at this young person face to face.
At that time, the oppressive demon energy decreased slightly.
âEat again.â
Not daring to disobey his words, Blood Beast Sword ate the dish.
ââŠDelicious.â
âWhy are you telling me that? âI have to tell the person who cooked it.â
Hyeolsu-geom turned his head and looked at Hwasun.
âIt was delicious.â
At that time, Geomgeuk spoke.
âagain!â
This time he spoke politely.
âItâs delicious, Mrs. Hwa.â
Geommugeuk smiled and said to Hwasun.
âIt was delicious.â
Hwasun nodded once with a trembling heart.
âPlease wait a moment. âIâm going to talk to these people for a moment and then leave.â
The door closed and the guards took Hwasun and retreated to the end of the hallway.
The very moment the door closed.
Sigh!
Geommugeuk smashed the chopsticks he was holding into Hyeolsugeomâs forehead.
The blood tester fell over and he hit his head on the table and died.
Lee Eom was so shocked that he thought his heart would jump out of his mouth. I didnât know if I could kill him or not with just one stroke of the blood sword. I fucked him without even looking at him who was sitting next to me.
He was a bloodthirsty sword who survived despite committing all kinds of evil deeds. It was shocking that they killed him with chopsticks without saying a word.
âYou said we decided to divide the stolen goods into thirds?â
âI give up everything! âTake my share too!â
âWho is the one person left?â
Lee Eom said in a trembling voice.
âHe sent it, didnât he? âAre you trying to monopolize this case?â
âI asked who that person was.â
When Lee Eom hesitated to answer, wondering what the situation was, Geommugeuk picked up the remaining chopsticks. There was no need to threaten him by poking him on the cheek or forehead.
As long as I saw it disappear from Blood Beast Swordâs forehead, I couldnât hold on to the chopsticks.
âThis is Yeo Danju!â
I finally understood the sword dance. Why I misunderstood that he had sent me.
âThis is Yeo So-gwang (ćæć ), head of the Honam branch of the Heavenly Demon Church!â
