Chapter 262: Moonlit Night
Ma Gyeong, the scholar of ten thousand studies, asked Seon Woo-jin.
“Are you confident?”
Seon Woo-jin answered decisively.
“I don’t think it matters whether one is capable of avenging one’s parents’ enemies or not.”
“Hmm.”
Ma Gyeong Manhak-sung stroked his white beard with an expression of interest.
After a moment’s thought, he replied.
“I cannot stop you from avenging your parents. Very well. I shall grant you the opportunity for revenge.”
Seon Woo-jin bowed respectfully toward him, while Jin Tae-do’s face twisted in anger.
‘Inparang! This damn bastard, right to the end…’
Jin Tae-do seethed with rage.
It wasn’t because he didn’t believe he could defeat Seon Woo-jin in a fight.
Fighting him now and winning would bring him no benefit whatsoever.
He was trying to divert Manhak Sung’s attention elsewhere and look for an opportunity to escape from here.
But engaging in a one-on-one duel with Seonwoo Jin would make both of those things impossible.
Moreover, in the worst case, he might end up revealing his true capabilities.
‘Ma Gyeong must have thought the same as me. After all, he wouldn’t have believed that In Parang could defeat me. He probably figured it didn’t matter if he lost. No, he must have agreed precisely because he knew he’d lose.’
Regardless of the outcome of the duel, Manhak Sung stood to lose nothing.
If Jin Taedo won, he could simply intervene afterward. And even if, by some slim chance, Seon Woo-jin won, it would only be a slight disappointment for him.
