Chapter: 690
“Huh? We-well...”
Thud!
Even before Yoon Baek Ho could say anything his neck was snapped.
“Kuak! Hiick!”
As a result, the eunuch, whose neck was being held, couldn’t hide his fear. Until a moment ago, they assumed that Chun Yeowun would let them go if they answered the truth, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
‘Is, is he really going to kill me? This is bad. No matter what I say he will kill me.’
And he was indeed right. Chun Yeowun wasn’t the kind to spare people. But that didn’t mean that there were no exceptions.
‘It would be better to get rid of them, but if I kill them all, the Imperial Palace’s vigilance will intensify.’
No matter how many thousands of guards or eunuchs and officials were in the palace, if more than 20 people disappeared at the same time, an uproar was bound to happen.
If that happens, finding the spies of the Blade God Six Martial clan that are hiding in the Imperial Palace will turn out to be more difficult. Even if they are disguising themselves in other ways, they are all beasts wearing human masks. So, if the mask couldn’t be taken down, they couldn’t be caught.
The leader, the eunuch, thought that he would be killed next.
“Well... kuak... hold on... hear... me... for a second... I’ll speak.”
Nothing was worth listening to anymore. Chun Yeowun ignored him and tried to stun the eunuch by grabbing on to him tightly until he said.
“Ah, if you spare me. I would serve you as a scrounger of the Alumni. Kuak... I, we care about talented people.”
‘Alumni’s scrounger?’
Scrounger. It is also called a Feeder. A custom that had been widespread since the Sengoku period. It is where the nobles prefer to treat the talented individuals are their guests, like customers, and instead of feeding them, the noblemen are to be treated as their masters. It was amusing to hear it from a eunuch, but, a completely different idea popped into his mind.
‘Should I go along with this?’
The fact that he expressed his wish to serve under him as a feeder wasn’t something that a Martial Artist would do. Loosening his hand a little around his neck, Chun Yeowun spoke.
“It’s interesting. You want to serve me as a feeder? Do you think that I would believe your words?”
The eunuch turned anxious at Chun Yeowun’s words. For Chun Yeowun, it was like an adventure.
‘I expected this much. Since this person failed to perform his task as the spy, he thinks that I would just accept his requests.’
Carefully thinking, the eunuch opened his mouth.
“I am the leader of the group. And I have sufficient authority to recommend talents.”
Chun Yeowun thought that the man would be of a higher position, just as he thought he seemed important. Nonetheless, he had heard that the spies descended upon the order of the admirals like Deadang-Du and Dang-Du.
“I am Daedang-Du...”
Chun Yeowun hesitated at the word of Daedang-Du.
“If you won’t believe me, you can ask around.”
“What are you talking about?”
“This is a request you received from the West Spear unit, right.”
‘West Spear?’
