Master Qin's smile faltered, his eyes widening in shock. "You wouldn't," he stammered, his voice laced with fear.
Kang Chunho's eyes glinted with malice. "Try me," he growled, his voice low and deadly.
Master Kung and Master Jun didn't wait to see if Kang Chunho was bluffing. They turned and ran, their footsteps echoing through the manor as they fled for their lives.
Kang Chunho watched them go, his anger burning brighter with every passing moment. He took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing as he focused on his next move.
"Don't go anywhere unless you want me to hunt you down and cut you into several pieces."
With a swift gesture, he turned and strode out of the room, his sword still clutched in his hand. He had a score to settle, and he wouldn't rest until he had claimed his revenge.
Kang Chunho's sword flashed in the light as he charged into the manor.
He swept through the halls, his sword slicing through the silk curtains, the sound of ripping fabric echoing through the air. Servants and guards alike falling before him, their screams and cries filling the night air as they tried to flee from his wrath.
"When you see Kung Heonjong in hell…remember to torment his soul because he's the cause of your deaths.."
Master Kung's face paled as he watched Kang Chunho's rampage, his eyes widening with fear. He tried to flee, but Kang Chunho had already sighted him.
His footwork was too fast and he caught up to him in no time.
"You just had to touch him? When you know he belongs to me. Jeoyoon belongs to me how could you dare to take him away. Ah! You've been pampered too much.."
With a swift stroke, he cut down Master Kung, the sword slicing through his shoulder and into his chest.
Master Kung's body crumpled to the ground, his eyes frozen in shock as Kang Chunho stood over him, his sword still trembling with rage.
"Do you want a goodbye kiss?
Kang Chunho grabbed Master Kang by the collar and gave him a fierce kiss.."
After that, he let Kung Heonjong's lifeless drop on the ground.
Next, Kang Chunho turned his attention to Master Jun's household. He stormed through the gates, his sword flashing in the light as he headed to his next destination.
The sound of clashing steel echoed through the courtyard as Kang Chunho cut down Master Jun's guards, his sword slicing through armor and flesh with deadly precision. The young master himself tried to flee, but Kang Chunho was relentless, chasing him down and ending his life with a brutal stroke that sent his sword flying out of his hand.
As the night wore on, Kang Chunho's anger slowly began to subside, replaced by a cold, calculating fury.
"Ah! I'm tired…"
Chunho stared at the moon, blood dripping down from his face and sword as he stopped for a breather.
With a cold smile, Kang Chunho turned and made his way back to the manor, his sword still clutched in his hand. He would show Qin Injo the true meaning of fear, and make him beg for mercy before ending his life.
Kang Chunho arrived at his manor, his sword still clutched in his hand. He had avenged Jeoyoon's honor, but his anger and fury still burned bright. He had one more score to settle before he could tend to Jeoyoon's wounds.
As he entered the manor, he saw Master Qin waiting for him, his eyes fixed on Kang Chunho's sword. Kang Chunho's face twisted in anger as he approached the Qin Injo.
"You planned this?" Kang Chunho growled, his sword still clutched in his hand. "You planned to take Jeoyoon from me, to hurt him and betray me."
Master Qin trembled, his eyes wide with fear, but Kang Chunho didn't care. He was going to make him pay for his betrayal.
With a swift gesture, Kang Chunho grabbed Master Qin and dragged him to the courtyard, his sword still clutched in his hand. Master Qin struggled and kicked, but Kang Chunho was too strong.
As they reached the courtyard, Kang Chunho raised his sword, ready to strike. Master Qin trembled, his eyes wide with fear, as he realized that his time was up.
"Don't kill me! I'll find a new pet for you or I can be your pet forever.."
"…"
"Generous offer but you're not the one I want."
Qin Injo's heart skipped a beat as his eyes watered, ten years he had been in love with this man for ten years and he could easily give him up.
"Will you give me a goodbye kiss?"
Kang Chunho smiled as he held Qin Injo's chin, he was really his favorite which made him even more angrier that he had planned all these.
"Sure, right after I kill you.."
But just as Kang Chunho was about to bring his sword down, a voice cried out, stopping him. "Wait, Master Kang!"
Kang Chunho turned to see Ahn standing behind him, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and pleading. "Please, Master Kang, don't kill him," Ahn begged.
Kang Chunho's face twisted in anger. "Why not?" he growled. "He betrayed me, he tried to take Jeoyoon from me. He deserves to die."
Ahn took a step forward, his eyes never leaving Kang Chunho's face. "I know, Master Kang, but killing him won't bring Jeoyoon back. It won't undo what's been done. And you'll have to face a heavy punishment if you kill the emperor's son."
Chunho smiled, the emperor couldn't do anything to him.
"He's only a bastard, he wouldn't care.."
Kang Chunho raised his sword again when another voice stopped him.
"What are you doing? How many people have you killed? Even your hair had been dyed red.."
Jeoyoon breathed as he stared at Kang Chunho who paused and stared at him in shock.
Clang!
