Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 310

“Ugh….”

As the tension eased, the pain that had been held back surged through his entire body.

Number 3, groaning, was released from the chair he was bound to and was helped up.

“I knew this would happen….”

In his blurry vision and mind.

“I knew it would happen…!”

Number 3 was shouting like someone possessed.

“…….”

Lee Rowan watched Number 3.

Dang Hwa-young appeared beside him.

“Huh…?”

Number 3’s eyes widened as he looked at Dang Hwa-young.

“Aren’t you the Guild Master?”

Given Number 3’s personality, there was no way he wouldn’t know the key figures of the Milky Way, so it was natural that he recognized Dang Hwa-young’s face.

“Why is the Guild Master here?”

Number 3 seemed surprised by Dang Hwa-young’s appearance.

“Didn’t you say you knew this would happen?”

“……That’s true.”

Number 3 replied with hazy eyes.

“He seems to be poisoned.”

Dang Hwa-young placed her finger on Number 3’s neck, injecting her inner energy.

“Ugh.”

Number 3 groaned in pain.

It was clear that the inner energy was invading him, a player, causing intense pain.

“Potion.”

Having only grasped his general condition, Dang Hwa-young opened her mouth, as if a potion would be sufficient.

Number 3, still seemingly intoxicated by the poison.

“I knew you were special….”

He mumbled like a drunkard.

“How many special recruits do you think there are in the Milky Way? I blocked it so you couldn’t figure it out exactly, but I know….”

His rambling continued.

“There are less than five so far. So, you’re special. That’s what I’m saying.”

“What kind of poison is it?”

“It seems to be a Mihu poison. Don’t worry, it seems like an antidote will be enough.”

Leaving Lee Rowan and Dang Hwa-young’s conversation behind, Number 3 continued to speak.

“I put so much effort into you, you should at least do this much. Yes. Of course….”

“Should we put him to sleep?”

“Leave him be.”

It was then.

“Ah!”

Number 3, as if realizing something, opened his mouth.

“That bastard, Gui San….”

“It’s Gui San Bang.”

A shadow suddenly appeared, taking form and bowing his head beside Lee Rowan as he spoke.

“Hieeek!”

Number 3 was startled.

He had sensed that there was something special about Lee Rowan.

He thought he was either related to a high-ranking official in the Milky Way or a superior sent to monitor and supervise new guild members within the Milky Way.

So, he had expected the Milky Way to move to find him after he was kidnapped.

“B, Black King…?”

Not only the Guild Master, but even Black King Ha Se-min, who was considered higher than the Milky Way’s Guild Master, had appeared.

Fzzzt.

A spark flashed through Number 3’s mind.

Something that was too old and had disappeared at some point, now treated like an urban legend.

“N, no way….”

Number 3, with hazy eyes, looked at Lee Rowan and opened his mouth.

“A special guild member?”

The moment everyone’s gaze turned to Number 3.

Thud.

Number 3’s head finally fell as he couldn’t overcome the detoxifying poison.

Cooool.

He had fallen asleep.

“Is he the one you’ve been eyeing?”

At Ha Se-min’s question, Lee Rowan made an unreadable face.

“He was quite something.”

“His name is Lee San-hoo.”

Ha Se-min seemed to know Number 3’s identity.

“He was active in a small guild, then withdrew last time and applied to join the Milky Way. He didn’t seem special, but is he that good?”

“I’ll tell you about that later.”

Lee Rowan said.

“Gui San Bang?”

“They are a black organization under the Gae Bang. They are the ones Gae Bang planted to keep the Milky Way in check.”

“What’s next?”

There was no way these people were the only ones who planned this.

There must be a client.

-Come this way.

The new guild members who had threatened Number 3 with knives last night.

Their sect was the mastermind.

“It’s a place called Unryong Mun [Cloud Dragon Gate].”

Ha Se-min continued.

“Under Haenam….”

Just as he was about to give a detailed explanation.

“Let’s deal with Gui San Bang first.”

Lee Rowan said, as if those things were not very relevant.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Lee Rowan.

His head slowly lowered.

“Loyalty.”

A storm of blood would blow today.

* * *

“……Ugh.”

Number 3 opened his eyes, feeling an unpleasant tingling all over his body.

It was a familiar feeling.

The tingling that occurred as the potion healed the wounds on his body.

“Kuh.”

Moreover, the pain that was tightening his head….

‘Antidote?’

It was clearly pain caused by the antidote.

Only then did Number 3, no, Lee San-hoo’s mind become clear.

“Huff!”

He remembered being captured by Gui San Bang and being rescued from there.

“Are you awake?”

At that moment, Lee Rowan glanced back and spoke to Lee San-hoo.

“S, S, Special Guild Member!”

Lee San-hoo had thought of Lee Rowan as just a special recruit with some connections.

However, the scene he had seen before he fainted was clearly the Milky Way’s Guild Master, Dang Hwa-young, and the Black King bowing their heads in respect.

Who was Dang Hwa-young, the Guild Master of the Milky Way?

She was someone who did not bow her head even to the leaders of the Nine Great Sects, and she herself was already the successor of the Dang Clan, one of the Five Great Families [powerful martial arts clans].

She had never bowed her head to anyone.

That was why she was called the Poison Flower, an unyielding flower.

And she had bowed her head.

“…….”

The Black King.

A being known to rule half, or more, of the darkness of Asia.

Although his face had only recently become known, due to his position and special status, it could be said that there was no martial artist who did not remember his face.

A being that should never be touched.

Perhaps even more frightening than the leaders of the Nine Great Sects was the Black King, Ha Se-min.

A being to whom even he bowed his head.

Gulp.

A special guild member.

A story like a rumor that existed in the Milky Way.

“That was real…?”

It was the moment it was revealed to be true.

It was then.

Drip, drip.

Lee San-hoo, regaining his senses at the sound of water droplets falling somewhere, turned his gaze.

“…….”

He could only widen his eyes and gasp for air.

Even though he had quite a bit of experience as a player, the scene he was witnessing at this moment was something that could not be endured with that alone.

“What on earth….”

The setting sun, the sunset revealed between the buildings.

And.

Drip.

Blood red.

The buildings were all blood red.

“It’s Gui San Bang.”

Lee Rowan said, sitting on a chair that someone had pulled over.

“They touched a member of the Milky Way, so they have to pay the price.”

Gui San Bang.

“……The headquarters of Gui San Bang?”

Lee San-hoo knew them well.

Rather, because he was Lee San-hoo, he knew them even better.

The main targets of Gui San Bang were not martial artists but players.

They were black martial artists who took requests from martial artists to deal with troublesome players or hunted powerful players under the name of ranker hunting.

And that was why he knew.

“Here?”

That the headquarters of Gui San Bang and their numbers were not known in detail.

At that moment, Lee San-hoo’s eyes turned somewhere.

“Black King….”

The king of the black market, the one who ruled half of the darkness of Asia.

He already knew everything about Gui San Bang’s headquarters and their power.

Even so.

“How many days was I unconscious…?”

“About two hours?”

Gulp.

Lee San-hoo swallowed.

Only two hours.

Considering the travel time, in less than an hour, Gui San Bang was….

“Save….”

Thud!

Annihilated.

Numerous corpses scattered everywhere and groaning figures.

Lee San-hoo could tell.

‘The Milky Way’s true power is greater than what is known to the public.’

Gui San Bang was considered a black martial arts sect, but they were by no means weak.

Instead of being large in number, they had overwhelming power.

They were annihilated by less than twenty people from the Milky Way.

“Didn’t you think about this?”

At Lee Rowan’s words, Lee San-hoo shut his mouth.

Come to think of it, he seemed to have mumbled nonsense before he fainted….

“It’s not over yet.”

“……?”

“The price for touching a member of the Milky Way is high. We need to give them a proper warning.”

Lee Rowan stood up from his seat.

“Where are you going?”

Ha Se-min stood beside Lee Rowan, as if he would follow him to the ends of hell.

“Unryong Mun.”

The next hell was decided.

***

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

A helicopter.

Lee San-hoo was on a helicopter.

The headquarters of Gui San Bang was located quite far from the Milky Way’s guild house, and now he seemed to understand how they had arrived so quickly.

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

There were not many people in Asia, in South Korea, who could freely fly helicopters.

Those belonging to the Nine Great Sects [powerful martial arts organizations].

Or those who had received permission from them.

The heads of the council.

Except for them, no one dared to fly a helicopter.

How much martial artists revered and valued the sky, being able to freely decorate the sky was a privilege only granted to the chosen ones.

So.

Whirr, whirr, whirr!

The Milky Way’s helicopter was proof of how much the Milky Way had grown.

At least four helicopters with the Milky Way’s emblem.

On the ground, cars carrying the Milky Way’s martial artists would be heading towards their destination.

“Hoo.”

Lee San-hoo took a breath, taking in the scenery outside the helicopter.

“Why?”

Lee Rowan asked him.

“It feels like a dream.”

Lee San-hoo had vaguely learned Lee Rowan’s identity, but he still did not speak up to Lee Rowan.

“I had a goal when I joined the Milky Way.”

“Goal?”

“The special guild member who is talked about like a legend in the Milky Way.”

Smirk.

“I was going to meet that guild member and become friends with them.”

Lee San-hoo laughed.

“If not, I was going to threaten them or do whatever it took to find that person, thinking it would give me an advantage.”

“Then.”

Lee Rowan said.

“You succeeded.”

“I guess so.”

The imagination he had been reciting like a vain delusion had become a reality.

And.

“Is this really okay?”

Lee San-hoo was also worried about one thing.

“It’s okay to have attacked Gui San Bang.”

They had directly harmed a member of the Milky Way.

The fact that it was a player was a bit of a concern, but with the power the Milky Way had, it was something they could easily smooth over.

But the destination they were heading to now was different.

-Unryong Mun.

They were a sect of a scale that could not be compared to Gui San Bang.

They had a mid-sized scale and military force.

But there was something even more special.

-Under Haenam.

They were a sect under Haenam.

“Is it really okay to touch Unryong Mun?”

One player.

Even for one martial artist, it was not easy to touch such a big shot.

The matter with Unryong Mun would inevitably lead to a matter with Haenam, and that was the same as a major shift in the established power structure of South Korea.

“On top of that….”

Four helicopters.

He didn’t know how many martial artists were coming from the ground, but was it even possible to face Unryong Mun with this number?

Lee San-hoo seemed worried about that.

Clench.

Lee Rowan clasped his hands in front of Lee San-hoo and looked at him.

“So.”

Lee Rowan asked.

“What do you think?”

“…….”

“I won’t answer the questions you asked. Tell me what you think.”

Lee San-hoo’s eyes changed.

He could tell instinctively.

Gulp.

This was a test.

And that this test would change his fate.

It was as if a voice was coming to him.

-Shall I tell you how to survive?
