nIt was after washing himself in hot water that Byeoktaesan left his room again.

nIt was not prepared by those who tried to look good to Byeoktaesan, but by his handmaids.

nThere were people wandering far away from Byeoktaesan, who left the room in a refreshing mood.

nA fairly spacious garden was built around the pavilion where Byeoktaesan stayed, and the garden was surrounded by a fence, which hung near the gate.

nIt was the general officer and the people that Byeoktaesan left behind earlier.

nThe general, who found Byeoktaesan leaving the pavilion, was surprised and ran.

n“Are you coming out now?”

n“Are you out?”

nThe people greeted.

nByeoktaesan looked around them.

nHe roughly guessed why they were doing this. Perhaps it is because of the story told by the General of Homuryeon before boarding the ship from Ui-chang.

nIn fact, all he said was that he was just pushing for some deals with the top of Geumbyeoksangdan.

nHe said he’d ask for Byeoktaesan if he wanted to.

nBut Byeoktaesan was not interested.

nSo everything is up to Geumbyeoksangdan and the Homuryeon.

nHowever, if they come out in that position, it means that they are tied to it in some way.

nByeoktaesan looked at the general and said,

n“If you have something to say, say it now.”

n“What?”

nThe rest of the people looked around Byeoktaesan.

n“Isn’t there?”

nWas it because the tone of Byeoktaesan was so dry? It flashed through their minds that they might not have a chance to speak again unless it is now.

n“Please leave it up to me to build a Muhan branch of Homuyeon. I’ll show you what I can do.”

nThen the person next to him quickly stepped out.

n“I’m more qualified. I’ve already built and run multiple fields.”

n“Please leave me with the paper delivery. It’s going to be really hard for you to get someone over there.”

nEveryone poured out their words.

nIn summary, there were a total of three tasks that Homuryeon wanted to leave to Geumbyeoksangdan.

nOne was the construction of a Muhan branch of Homuryun.

nIt was a really big business that took care of everything from purchasing land to building a place and administration.

nThe second was to supply paper to Homuryeon.

nThe Homuryeon was an organization created by a group of masters from all over Hobuk. Naturally, the amount of research exchanged with each master is enormous.

nAlso, the amount of paper that had to be digested inside Homuryeon was enormous.

nThey say they will leave the exclusive right to deliver all the paper to Geumbyeoksangdan.

nThe third was to supply alcohol to Homuryeon.

nAs it was a group of fighters, there was a lot of alcohol consumed every day.

nHow great it must be to be able to deliver all that liquor exclusively.

nThe seven men who followed the general poured out flattering words to Byeoktaesan to get one of them.

nSo far, only one person has not said a word.

nByeoktaesan raised his hand and cut them off.

nSeven people were talking, but it was cut off. It was such an exquisite breath.

nWhen everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Byeoktaesan, Byeoktaesan was looking at the general.

n“Does the General have anything to say?”

nGamujin bowed politely and said.

n“I hope you to see our master first.”

nByeoktaesan nodded.

n“Well, yeah.”

nAt the end of the remark, Byeoktaesan strolled along, and the other seven looked blankly at the back.

nThe general officer quickly followed Byeoktaesan.

nSoon after, Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon were attached to both sides of Byeoktaesan.

n* * *

n“Well done, Sir.”

nThe general said, walking side by side next to Byeoktaesan.

nAlthough Byeoktaesan didn’t reply much, the general officer worked hard on what he had to say.

n“It’s best for them to let go. The business of the Homuryeon is so big this time, so he’s doing that in order to raise his voice through it.”

nThe general asked cautiously when Byeoktaesan still didn’t say anything.

n“May I ask if you have a plan in mind?”

n“There’s no such thing.”

nByeoktaesan turned his head and looked at the general and continued.

n“I’ve never heard what’s going on.”

nThe general was astonished by the words.

n“Huh? Are you sure?”

nBut for a moment, the general explained the situation as quickly and simply as possible.

nIt was very simple.

nThree projects were planned to be carried out in Homuryeon along with Geumbyeoksangdan, which had conditions attached.

nIt was Byeoktaesan.

nByeoktaesan has to take this job.

nIf Byeoktaesan doesn’t want it, the person appointed by Byeoktaesan must take the job.

nRather than just appointing him blindfolded, the Homuryeon side decided to confirm that Byeoktaesan appoints the person in charge.

nHearing all the stories, Byeoktaesan smirked.

n“Things to be cut off.”

nThe general was startled and spoke carefully.

n“But they’re indispensable”

n“They’re now, I suppose so. Well, it’s none of my business.”

nByeoktaesan said so. He had nothing more to say and He didn’t want to.

nAfter walking for a while, He arrived at the office of Byeok Tae-su, the owner of Geumbyeoksangdan.

nIt was the first time seeing his older brother, Byeok Tae-soo, since he took over the body of Byeoktaesan.

nThe general bowed politely to Byeoktaesan in front of the office.

n“I’m going to get out of here. Please, have a good time with master.”

nWhen the general officer stepped away, Byeoktaesan looked at his back for a moment. Then He told Chun Kyung-wan.

n“Go to Baekhwalu.”

n“Yes. What should I say?”

nBaekhwalu is a Muhan branch of Haomun. Baekhwaluju may not be here yet, but he will be able to carry out the instructions of Byeoktaesan as much as he wants.

n“Tell them to do some research.”

nCheon Kyung-wan was startled and looked at Byeoktaesan.

n“You mean the General?”

n“Not just the general, but those seven, and the others. Tell them to shake off Geumbyeoksangdan.”

nByeoktaesan continued, pointing at Byeoktaesu’s office with a chinjig.

n“There are no exceptions.”

nCheon Kyung-wan bowed his head.

n“Yes, I’ll deliver it right away.”

nByeoktaesan nodded and went into Byeoktaesu’s office.

n* * *

nByeoktaesan was sitting in the reception room next to Byeoktaesu’s office.

nByeok Tae-soo was in a hurry to take care of something, so he decided to finish it and come back.

nWhile sitting, He slowly looked not only around but also the ceiling and floor.

nIt was a very strange place.

nThe atmosphere or decoration did not make him feel right.

nThe energy flowing in this room was different from other places.

nMaybe that’s what the whole office of Byeok Tae-soo is like.

nByeoktaesan calmly grasped the flow of chi.

n‘That’s strange.

nThe flow of chi itself was normal. However, the energy itself was subtly different.

nByeoktaesan tilted his head.

nHe felt something familiar. However, it was unfamiliar.

nSo it was strange.

nWhen He was so focused on his energy, Byeok Tae-soo came in.

n“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”

nByeoktaesu said so and sat in front of Byeoktaesan.

nThere was a moment of silence. Byeok Tae-soo was looking at Byeoktasan.

n“I’m glad you’re feeling much better.”

nByeoktaesan only nodded once. Actually, He didn’t have much to say.

nPerhaps there was something to say about Byeoktaesan in the past, but Byeoktaesan now was not like that.

n“I’ve heard that you were active in the Homuryeon.”

n“It’s nothing.”

nByeoktaesan was amazed by the natural feeling of happening.

nIntimacy and concern crept up deep inside.

nPerhaps Byeoktaesan was worried about his older brother, Byeoktaesu, until he died.

nOf course, that didn’t mean to make him do what he wanted.

nWhenever you want, you will do whatever you want.

n“I was really surprised when I came from the house. That’s why our top is a bit noisy right now, so I hope you understand.”

nByeoktaesan nodded lightly.

nHe didn’t really care.

n“Actually… there have been some internal discussions while you were in the Homuryeon.”

nOnly then did Byeoktaesan get a little curious and look at Byeoktaesu.

nIf he says that now, it means that the subject of discussion is Byeoktaesan.

n“So there was a consensus that you should take the job in here.”

nAs soon as He heard, Byeoktaesan thought it was annoying.

nTo be honest, it didn’t matter to him.

nIt was enough to leave after receiving a small house, a prize, and a few bases, which were given as a share of Byeoktaesan.

nNo, he didn’t need that either.

nIt was full of wealth anyway. He had a lot of money He got from robbing this time.

nYou can still use the Haomun if anything.

nIf you ask Hwaok to leave her finances and make money on her own, she will do really well.

n“I’m fine.”

nByeok Tae-soo looked at Byeoktaesan with round eyes instead of talking.

nHe didn’t know He’d say no so firmly.

n“Why don’t you think about it again? your position here will change. I want you to take care of two of the projects I’m working on with the Homuryun this time.”

nByeoktaesan shook his head lightly.

nThe movement was light, but the atmosphere at that moment was so determined that Byeok Tae-soo couldn’t speak more and stared at Byeoltaesan.

n“The business, you can make a rough decision.”

nHe looked at Byeoktaesan with his sparkling eyes.

n“Are you sure?”

n“Yes.”

nByeok Tae-soo shook his head with a sigh.

nIt was worrisome to see such a good opportunity being blown away like this.

nByeok Tae-soo took a break and calculated a few things in his head. Then, he quietly opened his mouth while looking at Byeoktaesan.

n“I’ll give you a percentage of the net profit from the three projects I’m working on.”

nByeoktaesan nodded at the words.

n“Well, whatever.”

nByeok Tae-soo smiled at his younger brother’s reaction.

nTo be honest, He thought He would be surprised at all, but He didn’t think He’d take it so plainly.

nThe younger brother could not have known what the net profit of the three businesses meant.

nHe’s such a bright guy since he was a kid.

nSilence lingered for a while. Then, Byeok Tae-soo suddenly asked.

n“Are you trying to be independent?”

nByeoktaesan tilted his head at the word independence.

nIn fact, He’s never thought about it yet. He’s still doing it now, but He didn’t feel uncomfortable.

nHowever, when He came to think about it, it seemed that there was nothing bad.

n‘There’s just one nice option….’

nThere is a shrine to Cheonmashingyo in Muhan. He used it when he was picking out Danyoung’s soul.

n‘No, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use it for a mission.’

n‘We have a lot of money, so we can build one.’

nByeok Tae-soo looked at his brother with complicated eyes.

n‘When did you grow up like this…….’

nHis eyes on Byeoktaesan became more and more affectionate.

n* * *

nSeo Do-gun walked slowly trying to calm the extreme tension.

nDon’t rush. And you can’t reveal your insides.

nWalking along the long hallway, at some point, hE felt as if the floor was sticking to HIS feet.

nAnd the air changed.

nThe energy that flows in it has also changed.

nThe tension that barely subsided rose again without an end.

nHe smelled terrible blood.

nSeo Do-gun’s footsteps have slowed down. There was no speed because He forced me to go on the road he didn’t want to go.

nSoon the hallway was over.

nThere was a large room at the end of the hall, which was packed with large display cases everywhere.

nInside the display case, there was a whole black bottle, and He felt bizarre just by looking at it.

nAnd there was a man standing in the middle of the room.

nSeodo-gun bowed politely to the man.

n“Did you call me?”

nA man glanced at Seodo-gun and walked to one of the display cases.

nThen, he raised his finger toward Seo Do-gun.

nSeodo-gun quickly ran to the side of the company.

n“Do you see these?”

nSeodo-gun identified a black bottle pointed by a man’s finger.

nOnly three of them had turned white.

n“It’s a container that carried Gwanghyeolsamma.”

nA man slipped his hand on the four bottles next to him.

n“This is how Gwangdongsagoe came back…….”

nThe man’s eyes turned to Seo Do-gun. His eyes glistened in a friendly way.

n“Gwanghyeolsamma never comes back.”

nSeo Do-gun forcefully opened his mouth.

n“So you’re saying that Gwanghyeolsamma may still be active somewhere?”

nThe man shook his head firmly.

n“No, he’s dead.”

nThe white color seemed to mean the disappearance of the soul.

n“Then… shall we find the body of Gwangdongsagoe again? Can’t you figure something out through them?”

nA man smirked.

n“That’s impossible. I’ll go back to the way I was when I first caught the soul here.”

nA man looked down at Seo Do-gun.

nSeo Do-gun swallowed saliva.

n“So find a useful body. A body strong enough to withstand a strong soul.”

nSeo Do-gun replied with relief inside.

n“Yes, sir.”

nAt that moment, a blood-red beam rose from the man’s eyes. The light wrapped around Seo Do-gun’s body and tightened it tightly.

n“Urghh!”

nSeo Do-gun let out a painful groan.

n“By the way, you’re going to get a punishment to trick me, right?

nSeo Do-gun’s eyes trembled.

n‘You knew everything!’

nSeodo-gun screamed as he saw all the bloody sights filling the room pouring into him.

n“Nooooo!”

nThe screams continued for a long time after that.

nAnd the man who caused all this was looking at Seo Do-gun with indifferent eyes.

n
