“Bring that disobedient bride here. If she refuses, it’s fine to punish her.”

“Yes!”

Following Bae Young-gam’s command, the thugs rushed toward Yeonwoo.

Before the thugs could reach Yeonwoo, Geon and Biyeong moved faster than lightning.

Biyeong’s footsteps, piercing through the thugs, were graceful and leisurely, like walking on water.

With each swing of her sword at their vital points, the helpless thugs had no way to escape, and they fell helplessly.

Occasionally, Biyeong used the thugs’ bodies as stepping stones to perform acrobatic somersaults in the air.

Every time she extended her long legs, sweeping across the thugs’ chests, those struck by Biyeong’s feet recoiled backward.

A headband on Biyeong’s forehead elegantly fluttered with each movement.

If someone were watching from afar, it would seem as if she were dancing, so restrained and beautiful was her form.

On the opposite side, Geon charged toward the thugs.

His appearance resembled a starving wolf running through the snow.

The thugs shrank at the chilling cold emitted by Geon.

Among them, a particularly audacious thug gathered courage and swung a club, but Geon easily evaded it.

Seizing the thug’s arm as he swung the club, Geon bit into it, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking and a painful scream.

“Ugh!”

Next, Geon extended both hands toward two thugs attempting to attack him, gripping their collars.

Throwing the two thugs like stones, whom he had held in his hands, they collided with each other upon landing.

The thugs struck down mercilessly by Geon’s swinging sword fell helplessly.

“Ugh!”

“Cough!”

Soon, the courtyard was filled with the groans of fallen thugs.

“What, what’s going on…!”

In front of him, witnessing the bizarre scene, Bae Young-gam’s eyes widened like buttonholes.

How could a dozen professional fighters from Hanyang be defeated so easily? And by just two guys who seemed like ordinary hoodlums?

Moreover, the two men didn’t even use swords. They subdued their opponents without removing the swords from their scabbards.

However, the most surprising thing was that despite facing so many thugs, the two men showed no signs of fatigue.

Especially the man who had insulted Bae Young-gam before fought ruthlessly, as if he were born for battle.

At the sight of the man who seemed beyond human, Bae Young-gam’s spine chilled.

At this rate, not only revenge but Bae Young-gam would also witness an unfavorable outcome.

Upon Bae Young-gam’s gesture, one of the thugs holding Yeonho moved.

Sensing the danger, Bae Young-gam raised his voice.

“It would be wise to stop here! Otherwise, you won’t leave this guy alone!”

As soon as Bae Young-gam finished speaking, the thug placed Yeonho on the ground and stomped on his arm.
“Aaargh!”

“Yeonho!”

As Yeonho screamed in pain and fainted, his mother shouted in agony.

The commotion made Geon and Biyeong halt their actions.

Bae Young-gam, trying to conceal his tension, spoke up.

“You wouldn’t want to see your precious eldest son become disabled, would you? If you hand over the bride, there won’t be any big trouble.”

At that moment, Geon and Biyeong exchanged glances.

Without any verbal communication, the two began to move harmoniously, as if they had planned everything in advance.

First, Biyeong pulled a dagger from her bosom and threw it at the thug who had stepped on Yeonho.

“Aaargh!”

As Biyeong’s thrown dagger pierced the thug’s thigh, he screamed in pain.

Approaching the fallen thug, Biyeong struck his vital point with the tip of the scabbard, then rescued the unconscious Yeonho.

Meanwhile, Geon grabbed Bae Young-gam by the back, forcefully bringing him down to the ground.

“Kkuheok!”

Bae Young-gam let out a new scream. Blood flowed from his nose as it hit the ground.

Geon lifted Bae Young-gam’s backside and menacingly whispered.

“If I see you again, I’ll cut your throat, just as I promised.”

“Uh, uheok!”

“Have you learned anything in the meantime?”

Bae Young-gam’s face turned contemplative under Geon’s cold, gleaming gaze.

He wanted to resist, but he couldn’t move a muscle, as if a wild beast had bitten into his neck.

When Geon pulled out the handle of the sword, the sharp blade of the greenish sword was revealed.

“As promised, I’ll end you.”

“Heeik!”

Just as Geon was about to cut Bae Young-gam’s throat, Yeonwoo grabbed his arm.

“No, don’t, Lord!”

“Death is too good for him.”

Unable to comprehend Yeonwoo’s intervention, Geon looked at her as if questioning her.

For Yeonwoo, who should despise Bae Young-gam more than anyone else, why would she protect him like this?

Yeonwoo grabbed the hem of Geon’s clothes and looked at him with a worried expression.

“Don’t kill people recklessly.”

Yeonwoo wasn’t worried about Bae Young-gam; instead, she was concerned about Geon.

Turning her attention, she noticed that the people left in the courtyard were looking at Geon with fear.

Several people who were watching from outside the gate were also curious about the situation.

If a rumor spread that civilians were killed, Geon’s already grim reputation would worsen.
