BAIKA FOREST.
Jin entered Baika Forest with normal walks. Baika Forest is a shady forest with big trees inside and many road corners. This condition makes this road becomes a favorite place for the horde of robbers to act. Half part of Baika Forest is under the Tiger Claw sect while the other half is under the Golden Flame sect and both of the sects didn't do much to eliminate the horde of robbers inside this forest because they keep continues to appear even after being eliminated.
Jin walks through the Baika Forest and he stops when he arrived at the place where Jung Kook was killed many years ago. He closed his eyes and still remember very clear in his head the way how Jung Kook died as if it happened yesterday. "I am sorry grandpa, I couldn't protect you that time, but this time, I will make them pay for what they had done to you." Jin releases a heavy breath, somewhere in the corner of his heart, he misses Jung Kook the person that he had considered as his own grandfather.
Jin opens his eyes when he feels a few energies are closing towards his location. He keeps standing and waiting for them to come. Eight men with face masks encircled Jin and one of them steps forward, he is Garwan the leader of the Black Mask, the small horde of robbers that currently ruled this area. "Hand over all your belongings if you don't want to die!" Garwan threatened Jin.
This situation makes Jin feels irritated as he just remembered how Jung Kook died at the hand of the robbers that time and now, a similar situation happened again. He decides to eliminate this horde before they create more damage to the other people. "I don't have anything to give to you." Jin answered honestly, he truly doesn't have anything except the clothes and the two necklaces, one from his mother and the other one from youra.
"Don't try to fool me!" Garwan gives a hand code to one of his men to come forward to check Jin's body.
"Freeze and don't do any stupid things or you will be a dead man." The man who comes to Jin's front is threatened. He starts to check all over Jin's body and doesn't find any precious things. When he stands up again, he saw two beautiful necklaces hanging on Jin's neck and he takes them violently.
"Hey! That is mine, please give it back to me!" Jin shouted when the man walks away with his necklaces and gives the necklaces to Garwan and a big smile spreads on Garwan's face. "This must be very precious, we will be rich." Garwan said after he sees the two big and beautiful gems in the necklace.
"Sir, please give it back my necklace." Jin asked politely, he doesn't act yet because he wants to get more reason to convince him to destroy Garwan and his men.
"Hahaha... This is mine now. Get lost before you lost your life." Garwan doesn't have any intention to give the necklaces back to Jin.
"Hhhh..." Jin released a heavy breath. "Why does it always have to be like this."
"What did you say?!" Garwan asked because he didn't hear Jin's words clearly.
Rather than answer, Jin blinks and appeared behind Garwan. He moves at a very fast speed that can not be seen by everyone and takes back the two necklaces that Garwan holds in his hand.
"Where is he?! What is happening?!" Where are the necklaces?!" Garwan asked his men and none of them can answer it.
"Behind you, Master!" One of Garwan's men said while pointing his finger to Jin's location.
Garwan turns his body and is surprised to see Jin standing behind him, already out of their siege. "Hey! What have you done?! What magic trick that you used?!" Garwan still doesn't understand what had happened.
"You've crossed the line, I will make sure you won't be able to harm anyone else after this." Jin threatened all the robbers.
"Damn you, little brat! I don't know what magic tricks that you used, but, don't ever think if you can beat all of us." Garwan was in a rage after Jin was looking down on them. He gives all his men to attack Jin together.
Jin is standing calmly amidst the robbers that are running to attack him. One by one he evades all the attacks that come towards him easily. No matter how hard the robbers try to hit him, none of their attacks can scratch him even for a little. Suddenly, Jin disappeared and reappear in front of Garwan's nose while the other robbers has fallen to the ground and screamed in pain after Jin cut their wrist muscles. "Your men will never be able to use the sword again forever. Now is your turn."
"Damn you! I will kill you!" Garwan shouted angrily. Rage has filled his brain and makes him unable to think clearly. He can not see if Jin is in a different league than all of them and keeps rushing forward to attack Jin.
Jin who sees Garwan's rage attack only smiles and avoids the slashing attack from Garwan sidewise while launching a direct punch to Garwan's face.
"Bukkkk!"
"Aaarrrgghhh!!!" Garwan's nose bends because of Jin's punch and the pain makes him scream aloud.
Jin doesn't stop, while Garwan covering his broken nose, he cut Garwan's hand's muscles that makes him drop his swords and fall to the ground.
Garwan and all his men are now feel terrified by Jin's presence. They never expect if today is their worst day as a robber. Their greed to attack anyone who walks past Baika's forest is now backfiring at themselves. "Please... Please don't kill me..." Garwan said when he sees Jin slowly walking to his fallen position. "You can take this," he takes out a purse full of jewelry and gold coins that they get from robbing the merchant earlier.
"From whom did you rob this!?" Jin asked while taking the purse from Garwan's hands.
"We...we took the jewelry from Baba, the merchant from Sinmu city. The gold coins are the leftover of our previous rob.
"I will kill you if I saw any of you robbing people's belongings again." Jin threatened.
."Yes...yes, Young Master. I...I promised."
Jin takes out 8 gold coins and gives them to all the robbers, each of them getting 1 gold coin includes Garwan. "Take that and use it to start your new life." Jin still has mercy on them.
"Thank you... Thank you, Young Master." Garwan now feels lucky even though Jin had cut his muscles and destroyed his group.
"Leave now and never show your face in front of me again."
Garwan and his men hurriedly left the place and abandoned all of their weapons. They promised themselves won't come back to this forest again.
