Chapter: 696

‘Damn it!’

He thought that things were going well. He decided to stay silent as things would only get complicated from there. Even so, Elder Khum still shouted this time.

“Who just coughed right now!”

It felt absurd to Hu Bong. He never guessed that someone would get mad at the sound of a cough.

‘No. He is a crazy bastard for sure.’

Still, he tried to pretend as if he didn’t know. But, the 30 warriors quietly turned their heads towards Hu Bong.

‘Ugh! Bastards with no loyalty!’

Thanks to them, Elder Khum gazed at him. Hu Bong began to break out in cold sweat.

One cough messed up his entire plan. Hu Bong, who had been worrying for a while, grieved for the ruined plan. But he still bowed his head to avoid being noticed.

“I, I am sorry. Elder.”

When Hu Bong apologized, the eunuch next to Khum noticed and tried to calm him down. He knew how uncomfortable the warriors were to be there. Khum was the kind who always vent at the subordinates when he got angry.

“...Elder. He is known as Mu Chung, he was invited here for a meal for the first time today, so he is unaware of our manners. Please...”

Before the eunuch could reason for the warrior, Elder Khum cut his words.

“A newbie? Huh, this is bad. An elder is struggling at the moment, how could he even think of coughing? That foolish bastard.”

‘Damn it.’

Hu Bong pretended to apologize, bowed further, and spoke loudly.

“I am sorry, Elder. Please forgive me.”

In fact, he knew that the situation would worsen. Being planted in the unit of elder Khum is the most distressing situation for him. He really wanted to go out and relieve his anger.

“Just because the Elder is staying calm, doesn’t mean that you can get rid of all the military rules in your head. You, mediocre, are truly pathetic. Someone, please tell me that the East Spear isn’t a place where people like that can enter.”

As if something ominous was said. It happened.

Phat!

‘Huh?’

Elder Khum, who was in his seat bounced off and flew towards Hu Bong, attempting to blow away his head. It was a swift move. But Hu Bong, who was anxious and fidgety from the beginning moved instantaneously and took a couple steps back.

“How dare he avoid the punishment?”

As he escaped from the blow, Elder Khum’s anger rose. Gathering internal energy in both of his hands, he unleashed it towards Hu Bong.

Hu Bong, who had already reached the highest mark of a warrior, couldn’t comprehend the movement with his naked eye.

‘S-shit!’

His face contorted and seemed like there were sharp nails penetrating his chest.

Patpatatpat!

“No?!”
