389 – An Eye for an Eye (2)

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

It is one of the most famous maxims in Hammurabi’s code.

The meaning is to retaliate equally, a concept close to ‘justifiable defense’.

If the other person hit me with a fist, I should hit them the same way. It is a rather reasonable maximum.

However, considering the time when Hammurabi’s law code was established, it is a fairly progressive story.

Because it was a time of barbarism among barbarism, when civilization had just blossomed.

Did the other person hit you with a fist? Then, it was a time when it was tolerated even if I killed the other person.

Therefore, this means that you should not react too aggressively and instead attack your opponent in a manner befitting ‘justifiable defense’.

This is why, even though I heard the scoldings from the gangsters, I didn’t start with my fists and instead threw a sharp lip.

“Bah, this guy just…”

“It’s our language… Right?”

The gangsters were very embarrassed by my flashy pad lip. It is a reaction that takes a big hit.

Not only was it not enough to speak Tatar fluently, but he even gave me a pad lip, so he must have been in a state of shock.

Not only the gangster but also the locals around him looked at us with their eyes wide open, probably quite embarrassed.

I wasn’t particularly trying to stop him, but I don’t know what will happen if the atmosphere gets overheated.

“Did you think you couldn’t talk? All you do is poop with your open mouth.”

“What, what? This dog…”

“I feel sorry for my girlfriend. She has two assholes. When I kiss her, she must smell like poop.”

“Pugh!”

A local person who was quietly watching my brilliant speech (?) Spat out his drink

Other locals were desperately trying to laugh as if they had similar thoughts.

Some people will laugh out loud and find it quite insulting. But if it explodes here, you lose the game.

“This b*stard wants to see you!”

The gangster sitting on the left suddenly stood up. I quietly watched that bully.

Judging by his face turning red, he seems to be quite angry. In fact, that guy lost the game.

But where is Tatar? Isn’t it a country between civilization and barbarism, where only the most handsome men of all men gather?

I also quietly got up from my seat and looked at Yangchi indifferently. If you look at the muscles to some extent, it looks like they have been trained.

As the atmosphere became hostile, the other gangster also stood up and glared at me. There was a violent atmosphere inside the store.

“What is this? Mr. Sivar!”

Godin must have heard the commotion and hurriedly approached. It seems like you’re having a hard time today.

I glanced at the gangsters and then explained in detail to Godin. Not a single tossi is missing.

“So you swore?”

“Yes.”

“Ha. This is so bad… Why…”

Godin showed signs of embarrassment. What these scoundrels have done is definitely denigrating our national reputation.

But ironically, it also means that Tatar has become a civilized country. Normally, I wouldn’t have anything to say even if my head was broken.

Of course, even in a civilized country, an eye for an eye is an eye for a tooth. Especially in this era, if there are ‘witnesses’, self-defense is wide.

“······I will defend myself to the Academy later. Please be gentle instead.”

“Yes.”

“True. Now I just ignore it. Do you want to die?”

-Whoosh!

Did he get upset in the meantime? The gangster in the center stretched out his arm and grabbed me by the collar.

At the same time, the atmosphere becomes more brutal. Godin tapped my shoulder and left.

On the other hand, the locals began to openly watch as if it were something fun to see.

Even though I was grabbed by the collar, I looked at the gangster with my characteristic indifferent eyes. Now that I see it, my hair his is dull blonde.

Moreover, seeing that he has a tattoo on his shoulder, anyone can see that he looks like a gangster. Blonde tanning girl.

“Hey, man.”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yes. The man watching. It’s you.”

“You’re asking me if I’m ignoring you!”

It’s okay to ignore it. So, be quiet.

I called a local who was watching while being held by the collar.

The local man glanced at the gangster and lifted his chin as if he was saying something.

“Can I hit you?”

“It’s okay to hit… According to the newly established law, it’s okay because the other person made a threat. Oh! And since the other person insulted you first, you can hit them back.”

“What are you…!”

I acted before the gangster said anything to the locals.

Because I grabbed his face just like he grabbed my collar.

My hands his his were so big that I caught it very easily. As I slowly lifted it up in that state, the boy started struggling.

“Hey, you b*stard!”

“Know who we are!”

-Seeing!

Now they are gangsters who even take out daggers. The scope of self-defense has become wider.

I took out my weapon but looked at the guys who couldn’t get out easily. The momentum is too weak.

An atmosphere of protecting myself rather than thinking of attacking myself. I had some doubts.

“That’s strange.”

“What, what?”

“Tatars fight often.”

Tatars are fighting people and at the same time have a basic sense of ‘courtesy’.

If you don’t have manners, you know already that your head will be broken. So I rarely cross the line.

But not these. Even though he took out a dagger, it was more like self-defense, and there was even fear in his eyes.

“You guys have never fought?”

“Wow, funny…”

“Coward. Headless. Weak. Asshole. Moron.”

He poured out a series of swear words and even struck the final blow.

“A bunch of peppers. They’re not even men.”

“aaah!”

As if the bond of reason had been broken, one of the gangsters rushed at me. It looks like he’s about to stab me with a dagger.

Some of the locals who saw it rushed over, but it was too late because the distance was close.

Well, it doesn’t really matter if it’s late.

-Jjaeeng!

Because nothing like that worked on my body. Rather, the dagger shattered and crumbled.

“Ahh!”

In fact, it seems that his hand was injured due to the recoil. I held his hand and looked at the boy who was complaining of pain.

Then he shifted his gaze and looked at the other bully. The pupils are shaking as if there was an earthquake.

“You stabbed me?”

“Eup! Eup!”

For your information, my hand is still holding Geumtaeyang’s face. He scratched my arm so hard that he couldn’t breathe properly.

I said something in the cold atmosphere.

“It’s self-defense, right?”

The explanation is this. I will completely destroy you.

I moved my other hand while holding Geumtaeyang’s face. First, let’s start with the guy who stabbed him with a sword.

-Tup!

“aaah!”

He was dragged by his hair, not by his collar or his face. I resisted fiercely, but it was impossible.

Finally, as I stepped out the door, the scorching heat greeted me. As a side note, the surprised locals are a bonus.

‘I hope it rains.’

I wonder if the saying of beating until dust falls on a rainy day can come true.

First of all, I have to do what I have to do. I threw Geumtaeyang and his subordinate Yangachi to the ground.

The two of them couldn’t get up from the floor for a while, probably because they couldn’t stand the pain very well. At the same time, the locals began to murmur.

“What? You’re Chief Buwag’s younger brother, right?”

“Did you have an accident? Why are you doing that?”

“It even looks like he’s a foreigner… Tsk tsk.”

If you listen to the stories of the locals, it seems like he is a pretty famous gangster. The chief’s younger brother.

It didn’t look like he had been in a fight, so maybe he was just showing off under the authority of the chieftain. It’s pretty basic.

Moreover, there is a high probability that he only messed with the weak rather than fooling the strong. Especially I am a foreigner.

‘Does my body look so dirty?’

It may seem that way to the Tatar people. Because of my unique constitution, I had big muscles.

Geumtaeyang also has a constitution that looks like he has a lot of muscles. But muscles are not the only force in this world.

“Ugh…

Fortunately, the gangster who had been caught with his hair down was the first to come to his senses. The golden sun is rolling around holding her face.

I watched the sheepish boy get up in a panic and immediately swung his legs. I don’t want to see him stand up straight.

-Kwasik!

“Ouch!”

However, perhaps I was kicked too hard or my body was weaker than I thought, but a strange sound came into my ears.

When I looked at the area where I had put my foot, I saw that my calf was bent in a direction that it could not be bent. It looks like the bone was properly broken.

“aaa!

The most painful injury in the world was a fracture, the gangster screamed, holding his leg.

It can’t help but be a truly girlish scream. Every time I pretended to be strong, it was so ugly.

I was kind here. They put a cloth over my mouth so I couldn’t stop screaming.

For your information, these are not my clothes, but the gangster’s clothes. Thanks to this, the sound was significantly reduced.

“Look, young man.”

“?”

At that time, a local person approached me. I opened my eyes wide and looked at the locals.

This is a local who kindly explained it to me earlier. Did you come to take a look?

“Here.”

“Huh?”

“He was trying to run away. “I caught him.”

-Tap!

At the same time, he threw the boy who had been left inside on the ground. I blinked.

After all, it is a country of real men under the guise of barbarism. In many ways, it is like a person who knows ‘etiquette’.

“But don’t be too harsh. Do it in moderation, in moderation.”

“They swore first.”

“Or just pull out your tongue and be done with it. That guy is especially evil, evil.”

A local said, pointing to the golden sun. If you look at what is clearly done, it is not something that was done once or twice.

You can see that other locals do not help and just watch from a distance. Should I call it a kind of karma?

I nodded and walked to Geumtaeyang. I asked a local person before walking.

“That noisy guy. Can you clean it up?”

“No more? I stabbed you in the stomach with a dagger.”

“Then wait a minute.”

-Quaang!

After hearing that, he immediately stepped on the bully’s right hand. So that you can never pick up a weapon again.

-Kkkdeuk!

“uuup!!!”

Yangachi’s eyes widened at the pain of his hand bones being shattered. I couldn’t even scream because there was a cloth in my mouth.

One guy was roughly dealt with and now he is a golden sun. After Geumtaeyang, I plan to deal with the guy caught by the locals.

Eventually, I stood proudly in front of the golden sun. Geum Taeyang, who finally came to his senses, shouted urgently.

“You, you, you know who I am?! Do you know who I am!”

“Wow! It’s really ugly! They’re using power because they lost!”

I shouted loudly on purpose. So that all passersby can hear.

Then the passers-by began to mutter and disparage Geumtaeyang. Most of the words were quite insulting.

Since when did the Tatars become so rude, the name of the chieftain is shameful, etc. There was not a single favorable word.

Geum Taeyang’s complexion became pale, as if he realized that the atmosphere was unusual. There is no one on his side

Now there is only one thing left. To make sure that obscene words can never be spewed out of that mouth again.

“Hehe, you’ll regret it! My older brother…!”

“Chief’s younger brother?”

“Yes, yes! My older brother…”

“If you are the chief’s younger brother…”

I forced Geumtaeyang’s mouth open. The strength of the jaw cannot be stronger than the strength of the hands.

When the guy’s mouth naturally opened, he put his hand inside his and held his tongue. All that’s left is to cut this off.

“I am the princess’s boyfriend.”

“Eup! Eup!”

It’s the expression of a guy telling you not to talk nonsense. You definitely won’t believe it.

But what can I do? It’s all true. Subtle rumors are already spreading within the academy.

“Stop for a moment! Stop!”

“Hmm?”

It was just the right time to cut out the guy’s tongue. A stern voice sounded in my ear.

When I looked up, men wearing blue turbans approached me. Seeing as they even wear curved swords, they appear to be guards.

“I came here because there was a commotion. “What country are you from?”

“I speak Tatar.”

“You know how to speak our language? It’s a rare experience.”

The guard captain’s face relaxed slightly and then became stern again.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but you better stop. If you don’t obey, I’ll arrest you.”

“This guy insulted me first.”

“Are there any witnesses?”

There are witnesses. Instead of speaking, I responded by looking to the side.

The local person who helped me didn’t leave and stayed still. When the local man made eye contact with me, he blurted out his testimony.

“Not only I but everyone in the store knows. He said something very insulting.”

“Can you tell me what it is?”

“Can you lend me your ear for a moment?”

When the guard captain nodded, the local approached cautiously.

After hearing the whole story, the guard captain’s expression hardened and he soon sighed.

“······I don’t know about anything else, but I can’t easily overlook the fact that you used a weapon. So what do you plan to do now?”

“I tried to cut out my tongue.”

“Eup! Eup! Eup!”

Oh, it’s not really a fish. Why is it fluttering around like that?

When Geumtaeyang struggled, I hit his head on the ground to tell him to be quiet. Thanks to you, I became calmer.

Meanwhile, the guard commander heard me and handed something to his subordinate. It’s a pretty thick book.

The guard captain looked through the book, found something, and spoke to me.

“According to the newly compiled law, there is a punishment appropriate for those who spit out insulting words.”

“What is it?”

“It’s like cutting out your tongue.”

-Squeak!

As soon as I heard those words, I immediately tightened my hands. As her cool sound reached his ears, Geumtaeyang’s struggles became stronger.

What do you do when your struggles get stronger? I threw my half-cut off tongue on the floor. It’s really unpleasant because it’s slippery.

“Eeeee “

The golden sun is clutching its mouth and fluttering like a fish. Even if I covered my mouth, I couldn’t stop the blood from leaking out.

The guard commander looked somewhat dazed as he watched the scene. The same goes for his subordinates.

I stood up, roughly brushing off my hands covered in spit and blood.

“Okay?”

The guard captain sighed at my words and spoke quietly.

“I’ll have to pay a fine instead.”

“No. Why?”

I couldn’t understand at all, so I asked back. Then the guard captain pointed to the floor with a stern look.

A half-cut tongue was lying on the floor. It’s disgusting just to look at it.

“Illegal dumping of trash.”

“··· ···”

“In Tatar, this includes body parts. There are so many fights.”

The fine was paid obediently.
