Chapter 83

nChae Mi-ryeong, wife of Byeok Tae-soo, was recently on edge.

nOf course, it was because of Byeoktaesan.

nShe didn’t like Byeoktaesan when he went to Homuryeon, but after that, it was more of a problem.

nWhat did he do when he went, suddenly people came constantly from Homuryeon.

nThen he poured out a jaw-dropping offer, and Geumbyeoksangdan was flipped.

nIt was not a problem to make a lot of money by making a deal with the Homuryeon.

nIn fact, at Geumbyeoksangdan, you could earn as much money and grow as much as you could without having to do business with Homuryeon.

nHowever, if you do business with Homuryeon, you will have an additional perk.

nFirst of all, various and powerful connections are built.

nThe Homuryeon is a group of famous masters from Hobuk. Naturally, it can be a connection point with each master.

nAlso, having an important deal with the Homuryun alone can provide protection.

nNo one will be allowed to touch Geumbyeoksangdan.

nWhenever you touch Geumbyeoksangdan, you have to consider Homuryeon that might be behind you.

nAnyway, as such a situation continued, Chae Mi-ryeong’s nerves were bound to be on edge.

nHowever, as soon as Byeoktaesan came back, She was more annoyed that there were people who moved to line up there.

nWhen Chae Mi-ryeong was so angry, Byeokcheonil came.

n“What happened?”

nChae Mi-ryeong asked urgently as soon as the Byeokcheonil came in.

nThe expression on Beyokcheonil was not good.

n“The Lord has taken all the authority.”

nChae Mi-ryeong’s eyes widened.

n“Byeoktaesan gave it all up?”

n“Yes.”

nChae Mi-ryeong’s mouth went up to its fullest extent.

n“Then maybe we can push one of them to our Jae-hyuk.”

nByeokcheonil swallowed his saliva while watching Mi-ryeong like that.

nChae Mi-ryeong was a person who could make it possible enough.

nAnyway, she’s the wife of Byeok Tae-soo.

n“But He promised to give us a percentage of the net profit from this business.”

n“What?”

nChae Mi-ryeong’s eyes became as big as a lantern. Anger flared up in her eyes.

nWhose money is that and you’re giving it to Byeoktaesan?

n“What happened to leaving Byeoktaesan in charge of the Pyoguk business? It’s going well, isn’t it?”

nByeokcheonil shook his head again this time.

n“Byeoktaesan refused.”

nChae Mi-ryeong was speechless.

n“Refused? What the hell are you thinking? Did you find anything out? The man who had such a relationship with the Homuryun couldn’t have turned it down without thinking.”

n“I’m still… not sure.”

nChae Mi-ryeong’s expression cooled down at once.

n“Find out.”

n“Yes.”

n“You can figure it out at all costs. It’s all about who Homuryun is showing favor to Byeoktaesan, and if anyone is willing to stand behind Byeoktaesan, who is it, whether there is a weakness of Byeoktaesan, and whether anyone around Byeoktaesan has any antipathy. Do I have to order everything like this?”

nChae Mi-ryeong’s words poured out slightly lowered her head with a pale face.

nByeokcheonil shook his body with his head down.

nA mixture of ambition, fear, and contempt stimulated his heart.

n* * *

nByeoktaesan did not leave the room for about two days after returning from Homuryeon.

nHe ate in the room and took a bath in his room.

nIn other people’s eyes, it seemed to be a good rest because it was so hard to go to Homuryeon.

nBut it wasn’t really that.

nByeoktaesan calmly organized what he had gained from this trip to Homuryeon over the past two days.

nAnd he trained at the same time.

nCurrently, Byeoktaesan was obsessed with Cheondunbo.

nHe trained Cheondunbo with the feeling of starting all over again, but the more he did it, the more he felt new.

nAnd these days, it occurred to him that Cheondunbo was somehow associated with Junghonmagong.

nHe hasn’t clearly figured something out yet, but it was for sure.

nSo He thought deeply about it and analyzed it over the past two days.

nAnd he gained some confidence.

nThe fact that Cheonmashingyo and Junghonmagong are related in some way or another.

nJust by training properly, it helps the flow of chi and balances the body.

nThat’s how the fundamental work of Cheonmashingyo was.

nAnyway, Byeoktaesan finally left the room.

nThis time, the energy gained was so good that the treatment was accelerated.

nIn this way, He could make his body perfect much faster than he expected.

nBut that’s not the end.

nSince then, He has to train his body properly.

nOf course, He can take it easy.

nNo, He was going to relax. If He was to live again, He would live quietly and peacefully.

nA fierce life has already gone through enough.

nWhen Byeoktaesan left the room, Hwaok approached as if she had waited.

nShe was also a handmaid between Byeoktaesan and Haomun.

nShe was also in charge of managing the schedule of Byeoktaesan.

n“Sir, are you out?”

nByeoktaesan nodded at Hwaok’s polite greeting.

nBehind her, other handmaids were seen moving back and forth between the inside of the pavilion.

nByeoktaesan stroked his chin and looked at Hwaok and other handmaids alternately.

nHwaok asked carefully.

n“What’s wrong with you?”

nThe way Byeoktaesan looked at her was strange, so Hwaok was a little nervous.

nShe’s heard rumors about Byeoktaesan

nShe heard a legendary story when she was already in Uichang that He gained the title of the Night King.

nIn other words, Byeoktaesan was already famous among handmaids.

nIf such a person is looking at himself with strange eyes and expectations do not arise, she would be lying.

n“Then you were the tenth.”

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

n“Ah!”

nHwaok finally came to her senses and quickly recovered from her facial expression.

n“A lot of guests came while you were resting.”

n“Guest?”

n“Yes, I have sent everyone back in moderation, as you said beforehand.

nWhen he nodded as if Hwaok had done well, Hwaok continued.

n“Once the Lord of the Patrol of the Homuryeon has come. Do you know Seo Mundeok ?”

n“I know.”

n“And two members of the Chun Yak-bang visited more than three times a day. I’m sure he’ll be here again today.”

n“And a person came from Donghopyoguk.”

n“Donghopyoguk?”

nDongho Pyo-guk is a secret organization of Cheonmashingyo.

nThe mouth of Byeoktaesan crept up.

n“What are these… what are they doing?”

nThe secret organization of Cheonmashingyo was forbidden to do something on its own in this way.

nThey have to perform only the given tasks.

nAnd They could do other things only if the order from the top was given.

nHowever, now it was not the time to issue an order from the upper Cheonmashingyo.

nNevertheless, the move was made arbitrarily.

nWhen the atmosphere of Byeoktaesan was unusual, Hwaok was nervous.

n“Why… do you do that?”

n“No, go on. That’s all you have.”

n“There’s a lot more, but they’re so small that I’ve only sorted out their names and affiliates.”

nHwaok said so and took a long piece of paper out of her arms and stuck it out politely.

nIt was filled with names.

nByeoktaesan checked it and threw it.

nSuddenly, a fire broke out and the paper quickly turned into ashes.

nHwaok’s eyes became as big as a lantern.

nBut she quickly recovered her facial expression.

n“And we are looking for a place as you instructed us to do. The goods stored at Haomun will be moved to Jangwon as soon as we find them.”

nByeoktaesan nodded.

nYou should put a competent person underneath. How comfortable it is to just talk about it as if it’s passing by.

n“And the investigation you mentioned is underway. The survey is so huge that it will take some time.”

nByeoktaesan nodded and said,

n“We’ll take care of it one by one. Let’s meet the guy who came from Donghopyoguk.”

nByeoktaesan’s mouth crept up once again.

nHwaok trembled because of unknown fear.

nShe lowered her head quickly and answered.

n“I’ll take you right away.”

n* * *

nThose who came from the Donghopyoguk were staying not far from Geumbyeoksangdan.

nIt was not a small or big inn, but he heard that he had been waiting here for 10 days to meet Byeoktaesan.

nWhen Byeoktaesan entered the guest’s room, the eyes gathered in unison.

nOn the first floor of the guest’s room, there were quite a large number of tables for a simple meal, and each table was packed with people.

nHe doesn’t know who they are, but he could roughly infer what they are through the atmosphere.

nHe had a unique atmosphere.

nByeoktaesan moved inside.

nThen someone rushed down from the second floor.

nHe stood in front of Byeoktaesan and took the most courteous attitude.

n“My name is Machungsam, the head of the Dongho Pyoguk. It’s an honor to meet you, Sir.”

nByeoktaesan nodded lightly and looked around.

n“Did you bring them?”

n“Yes. That’s right.”

nMa Chung-sam said so and glanced at Cheon Gyeong-wan, Yu Seo-yeon, and Hwa-ok, who followed Byeoktaesan.

nCheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon stood calmly, but Hwa-ok did not.

nShe was sweating cold.

nWhile looking at Hwaok with deep sunken eyes, he carefully told Byeoktaesan.

n“We’ve set up a separate table above.”

nByeoktaesan nodded and strode up the stairs.

nCheon Kyung-wan, Yoo Seo-yeon, and Hwa-ok quickly followed.

nBut as they were about to climb the stairs, the people sitting in their seats rose and blocked the front of the stairs.

n“You’ll have to wait here for a moment.”

nOne of the blockers looked around Cheon Kyung-wan and said with cool eyes.

n“My father wants to see Byeoktaesan separately.”

nCheon Kyung-wan answered calmly.

n“That’s your situation, and we’ll follow him, so get out of the way.”

nEveryone didn’t even move as if they had no intention of stepping down.

nCheon Kyung-wan looked up at Byeoktaesan, which was climbing the stairs.

nByeoktaesan didn’t even look this way at all. As if he doesn’t care.

nCheon Kyung-wan took a step forward.

nIt meant that he would break through with force.

nYoo Seo-yeon matched the move.

nThe two moved their hands and feet as if they had agreed to do so from the beginning.

nStuttering!

nChun Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon’s skills have been improving recently.

nIn an instant, he knocked down all those who blocked him.

nBut that wasn’t the end.

nThose on the first floor of the guest’s room raised up in unison. Some of them seemed to be quite powerful and useful.

nAfter seeing it, Cheon Kyung-wan blinked his eyes and stood in front of the stairs.

n“You two go up first. You can’t keep him waiting. I’ll follow you up in a minute.”

nAs soon as Cheon Kyung-wan’s said, Hwa-ok went up the stairs.

nYoo Seo-yeon stared at Cheon Kyung-wan for a moment, but Chun Kyung-wan shook his head firmly.

nYoo Seo-yeon tapped Cheon Kyung-wan on the shoulder and climbed the stairs.

nCheon Kyung-wan looked around at those who were approaching him.

nEveryone was approaching with their bare hands, leaving their weapons in their seats as if they had promised.

nCheon Kyung-wan also did not intend to draw weapons.

n“I’m not going to kill you because you’re not armed.”

nCheon Kyung-wan said so and released the chi without filtering.

nWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

nA wild and powerful chi beyond imagination swept the guest’s room.

nThose who were approaching stopped their feet for a moment.

nCheon Kyung-wan remembered his old self from that look.

nWhen He was training with Yoo Seo-yeon.

nCheon Kyung-wan’s mouth crept up and down.

nAnd He clenched my fists.

n
