Thug by Bloodline

Episode 12 I’m Curious about the Lineage (3)

You could ask for something material.

However, what Gwon-ul needed most was Kwon Ji-seok’s submission.

By receiving a formal apology, the relationship with Kwon Ji-seok is reestablished.

So that the word cloth will never come out of his mouth again.

No, no.

There was no need for any reason.

I just couldn’t stand it any longer. Cursing herself for being lowly, calling her father a traitor.

He intended to use this opportunity to break Kwon Ji-seok’s nose so that he wouldn’t talk nonsense again.

“Is this guy crazy? Why am I accepting a bet like that?”

However, Kwon Ji-seok did not easily accept Kwon-ul’s proposal.

‘Of course.’

In such an ambiguous situation, Kwon Wol first proposed a bet, so it was natural to be vigilant.

“Well, if you’re not confident, why don’t you drink?”

Kwon Kwon-wool pretended to look as innocent as possible.

“Then you will have to wait in silence until I eat my sweets.”

Kwon Ji-seok hurriedly shouted at Kwon-ul’s words.

“for a moment! good. I accept that bet.”

Kwon Wol laughed inwardly. What was regrettable was Kwon Ji-seok, so of course I knew I would accept the bet.

“You, be sure to keep that word in mind.”

“That’s what this side will do.”

The two stared at each other for a moment and then parted ways.

* * *

‘A fool.’

Kwon Ji-seok held back the laughter that was about to leak out.

‘It seems that there is a corner to believe in something, so let’s make a bet… … Even so, it doesn’t work for me.’

Kwon Ji-seok took out a monocle from his bosom and put it on his left eye.

A white glowing ring floated on the surface of the monocle. It was proof that it was an artifact with a special ability.

The monocle of the royal thief.

Grade: Unique (C)

Kwon Ji-seok’s vision was overlaid with color. Ingredients in the warehouse appeared to be different colors.

Visualizing the value of an item in color and displaying accurate information.

That was the power of the royal thief’s monocle.

‘Emotion items are essential for hunters who attack dungeons.’

Kwon Ji-seok’s mouth went up.

‘Stupid bastard. Don’t take my word well.’

Kwon Ji-seok walked around the warehouse and picked out all the ingredients with the dragon’s name on them.

“I brought it here.”

“hmm?”

Park Tae-shik, who had been sleeping on a chair, woke up at the sound of words. I glanced over the ingredients Kwon Ji-seok had brought.

“Yeah, you got it right.”

“This is about lying down and chewing gum.”

Kwon Ji-seok laughed happily. I was nervous because it was a test given by the master. There was nothing difficult.

On the other hand, Gwon-ul was still walking around the warehouse. Kwon Ji-seok had no doubts about his victory.

“You can’t do this.”

That is until Park Tae-shik shook his head.

“… … Hey. What do you mean? You obviously told me to bring the materials for the dragon.”

“Well, that’s what I said. But I didn’t tell you to use emotion items to pick them out.”

Kwon Ji-seok made a cold expression. It was a face I wanted to see when the hell.

“Those who challenge my test come with hundreds of appraisal items. So, don’t get distracted by these things.”

Park Tae-shik gestured as if he were chasing away insects.

“You are eliminated. Because those materials are the precious property of the Heukcheon Group. Give it back.”

“This is how it can’t be like this! When did he tell you not to use appraisal items! You said you only need to bring the material for the dragon with your own mouth!”

Tsk tsk.

Park Tae-sik clicked his tongue briefly.

“Do you know what kind of entrance exam this is? If I say no, then you can’t. You can do it. It’s just that even if you pass the test, it’s okay if I don’t listen to you.”

“Where is that nonsense… … .”

“Hey kid. You seem to be misunderstanding something. The one who regrets it is you, not me.”

Kwon Ji-seok shouted. Park Tae-sik replied with a frown.

“Black dragon blood is naturally drawn to the power of the dragon. And that instinct increases as the potential of the Black Dragon Blood increases. I took this test to test its potential.”

At that time, I felt a presence from behind. Before I knew it, Gwon-wool, who had chosen the ingredients, was walking this way.

Unlike Kwon Ji-seok who brought a lot of ingredients, Kwon-wool only had one.

It was a small vial filled with dark red blood.

As soon as he saw the glass bottle, Kwon Ji-seok laughed. However, Park Tae-sik’s reaction was completely different.

“Phhhhh!”

Suddenly, he started to burst out laughing. Seeing Park Tae-shik like that, Kwon Ji-seok was just bewildered.

Park Tae-sik, who received the glass bottle, burst into laughter.

“I never thought there would be someone who would actually pick this up.”

Park Tae-sik received the glass bottle with a hard to believe face.

“For you to pick something that even pure blood couldn’t find. It’s true blood.”

* * *

When Kwon Ji-seok took out the emotion item, he was not taken aback.

‘As expected, they use emotional items.’

Because it was already expected.

For hunters who go around dungeons, appraisal items are essential equipment.

Of course, I expected that Kwon Ji-seok would also have an emotional item.

It was because he took advantage of that psychology to place a bet on Kwon Ji-seok.

And when Kwon Ji-seok was eliminated, I was not surprised either.

‘There’s no way Master Park Tae-shik didn’t consider appraisal items.’

Because he was expecting it to some extent.

There was nothing difficult about this test if there was an appraisal item.

Nevertheless, Park Tae-sik did not ban emotional items.

‘If you use an appraisal item, you cannot pass this test.’

In that respect, it was as if Kwon Ji-seok had already been eliminated.

So how can I pass this test?

As a result of wandering around the warehouse, all the materials that felt the dragon’s power were inferior.

It couldn’t have been an arrangement that felt very intentional.

Then there was one thing I could guess.

‘Treasure hunt.’

Gwon-ul passed by, going through the materials in the warehouse one by one with his hand.

＜True Black Dragon Blood senses the power of the dragon.＞

A series of messages popped up. It was about half way through the warehouse.

＜True Black Dragon Blood senses the mighty power of the dragon.＞

The message is slightly different. Kwon-wool looked at the material that his fingertips had just brushed past.

A vial containing dark red blood.

Gwonwool picked it up without hesitation.

* * *

“Are you aware of the blind spots of emotion items?”

Park Tae-sik asked Kwon Ji-seok. Kwon Ji-seok just kept his mouth shut.

“It means that only the current value is judged. Actually, it’s no big deal. Because once completed things do not change their value.”

However, there are things in this world whose value fluctuates.

“But what about materials? It completely depends on how you process it.”

For example, in the case of iron ore, it is just a simple stone containing iron.

It is only when it is processed and refined that its true value is revealed.

“Probably the appraisal item you used didn’t show much information about this glass bottle. Because this blood is useless in its current state. You have to process it to reveal its true value.”

Park Tae-sik said while shaking the glass bottle.

“There are only two ways to appreciate an item before it is processed. Either you know the material well like I do, or you are driven by instinct.”

Park Tae-sik had only one instinct.

Do you discern the power of the dragon felt in that blood through black dragon blood?

“What was your name?”

“My name is Gwon Gwon-ul.”

Park Tae-sik laughed and said.

“You pass.”

* * *

Kwon Kwon-wool unknowingly clenched his fists and looked back at Kwon Ji-seok.

Kwon Ji-seok stood there with a devastated face.

“Did you hear?”

Kwon Ji-seok flinched at Kwon-wool’s words.

“I lost the bet, so keep your promise.”

“You, you, you!”

“You can’t say two words with one mouth, can you? You are a pureblood of the proud Heukcheon family. Isn’t it?”

Kwon Ji-seok’s face turned red at Kwon-wool’s ridicule.

Kwon Ji-seok said coldly to Kwon Ji-seok.

“Get down on your knees and apologize for all the wrongs you did to me.”

Kwon Ji-seok trembled and glared at Kwon-wool. If you could kill a person with just a glance, I wondered if it would be like this.

“Go, how dare you, about a lowly bastard… … .”

“I’m doing this to warn you not to say that again. Are you going to say that again?”

At Kwon-ul’s point, Kwon Ji-seok kept his mouth shut.

“What are you doing? without a quick apology.”

Suddenly, there was a grinding sound. Kwon Ji-seok began to bend his knees slowly, very slowly.

Right before the knee touched the ground, Gwon-ul said.

“If you don’t like it that much, let’s make another bet.”

Kwon Ji-seok’s eyes widened. Gwon-ul said to him.

“If you win, I’ll pretend this never happened. Instead, if I win, I will have to give it all away.”

“My, are you leaving me?”

“The ingredients you brought today.”

Suddenly, a loud laugh broke out. It was the sound made by Park Tae-shik, who was listening next to him.

“Yes, this body is showing off its skills after a long time. It’s a pity with ordinary ingredients. I really like that phrase.”

Even if the same materials were used, Park Tae-sik’s equipment would be incomparably better than those of other masters.

But after a long time, the masters show off their skills. It was also true that only basic ingredients were left unsatisfactory.

“That spirit is very good. If you’re a man, so be it. So what are you going to do?”

Park Tae-sik asked Kwon Ji-seok with a satisfied expression on his face.

A moment of hesitation appeared on Kwon Ji-seok’s face. To that extent, the materials he had obtained were difficult to obtain.

“… … I accept that bet.”

However, Kwon Ji-seok had no intention of enduring this humiliation.

“What are you going to do with the bet?”

“Let’s make it short and simple.”

At those words, a question appeared on Kwon Ji-seok’s face.

“Maybe now… … You don’t want to stick with me, do you?”

It is a fact that everyone knows that Kwon Ji-seok has the lowest quality among the children of Vice Chairman Kwon Hyuk.

But even so, Kwon Ji-seok is pure-blooded.

It is the most powerful bloodline except for Jinhyeol, and he grew up with the support of the Heukcheon Group from a young age.

All abilities are over A, and the Black Dragon Twelve Seungmoo is also learning 5 stars or more.

“It seems that you are arrogant about defeating a half-blooded bastard. I’m not like a rotten bastard!”

“Who told you to hit and hit and fight? I said let’s compete.”

“That’s what it sounds like… … .”

“Among the twelve monks of the Black Dragon, there must be a form of pure skill competition.”

A question appeared on Kwon Ji-seok’s face. Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu is strong.

Based on strong physical ability, it is the Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu that shows explosive destructive power.

Then it suddenly dawned on me.

“… … Are you talking about the basic type of short-range?”

The short-lived style is a very different technique among the forms of the Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu.

This is because it is a skill that uses the enemy’s power against it or completely takes it out to neutralize it.

Therefore, it is the only one that is not affected by physical abilities.

“Yes, that’s right. Let’s use short-range, and the first one to kneel the opponent wins.”

“Huh, this bastard… … .”

Kwon Ji-seok doesn’t really like short-range ceremonies. However, since I had to learn the ascending type, I had no choice but to learn to 5 stars.

It means that he is not at the level of losing to a guy who has just learned his secret level like Kwon Kwon-wool.

Why did you set such an unreasonable condition even though there was no way you didn’t know that?

His intentions were questionable, but Kwon Ji-seok was not in a situation to make up his mind.

If you don’t accept this bet, you will have to kneel to Kwon-ul.

“Okay, let’s try it.”

Kwon Ji-seok growled and said.

* * *

The three of them went out of the warehouse first. Because I couldn’t make a fuss in a place like this.

When Kwon-wool appeared, Joo Ha-yeon approached with a worried face.

“How have you been?”

“Passed.”

A smile appeared on Joo Ha-yeon’s face for a moment and then disappeared.

She was a woman that was hard to see with a smile on her face.

“But I decided to make a bet.”

“A bet?”

“That bastard asked me to fight short distance.”

Kwon Ji-seok shouted from a little distance away.

He said, holding out a steel box containing ingredients.

“As promised, if you win, this is all yours.”

“If you win, I’ll let this incident never happen.”

The artisans who heard the conversation between the two began to hum. I don’t know the exact story behind it, but one thing is for sure.

True-blood Kwon Wool and pure-blood Kwon Ji-seok compete.

“Kwon Han-ul?”

Concern flashed on Joo Ha-yeon’s face again. After Kwon-wool said he was fine, he approached Kwon Ji-seok.

“The conditions are as I said before.”

“We only use short-term. The one who knocks the opponent down first wins. Right?”

“Exactly.”

Kwon Kwon-wool and Kwon Ji-seok held hands. Their gazes collided tightly in the air.

“I will make you regret what happened today.”

“There are so many things to say. Stop messing around and start.”

Kwon Ji-seok frowned. At that moment, his hand moved.

The decision was in an instant.

* * *

definitely win!

That was the only thought in Kwon Ji-seok’s head.

It was the result of the pride of not being able to apologize to Kwon Wool and the obsession that he could no longer be humiliated.

Fortunately, the situation was in his favor.

If there are no other conditions and only non-level skills are attached, the side with the higher achievement is bound to win.

It is a self-evident fact that Kwon Ji-seok, who has been training for over a year, has much higher achievement than Kwon Kwon-ul, who has only learned the secret level for five months.

Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu Basic Form

short-range quicksand

A technique to subdue the opponent by shedding their body.

At least, Kwon Ji-seok was the most confident of the guerrilla skills.

At that moment, my body rang.

“uh… … ?”

Kwon Ji-seok looked down at himself with a puzzled face.

Her legs, which had been standing upright just before, were kneeling on the ground.

* * *

It happened when I was fighting blood clots the other day.

Kwon Kwon-ul completely subdued the mixed-blooded blood relatives using the guerrilla warfare of Hyeonryongseungcheongong.

The reason that was possible was that it was caught off guard, but it was also because of the gap between Hyeonryong Seungcheongong and Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu.

Hyeonryongseungcheongong is not simply a stronger class than Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu.

It had a much deeper meaning. Sometimes it came out with a completely different technique.

Hyeonryong Ascension Heaven Basic Form

short-lived elopement

A skill that instantly drains the enemy’s strength.

It was just a technique, but the evasion from the Hyeonryong Seungcheongong and the Black Dragon Twelve Seungmu were completely different techniques.

And people can’t prepare for technology they don’t know.

That is why Kwon Wool-wool bet on Kwon Ji-seok this match.

“Uh, how? Oh no wait… … .”

Kwon Ji-seok knelt on the floor and shouted in embarrassment. Gwon-ul said as he let go of the hand he was holding.

“The ingredients are mine now”
