Merchant

Without warning, he kicked Escort Guard Myeong Jong, who had been standing in front of me. “Urgh!” Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Escort Guard Myeong Jong nearly shouted in outrage before abruptly freezing. “What the hell are you… Mu Hyeon?” “That’s right! I’m Mu Hyeon, you stupid bastard!” I chuckled at the sight….

The noodle shop owner brightened at my words and nodded eagerly. “Of course. I’m listening.” Judging by the way he even pulled out brush, ink, and paper from beneath the table, he hadn’t said it merely out of courtesy. With him showing this much enthusiasm, even I enjoyed giving advice. “First, stock up on plenty…

I turned to my father and asked. “Is there a location you prefer?” “You were the one granted the right to choose. The decision should be yours.” “I’m worried I might choose poorly and cause trouble for the merchant group.” “So you mean to shift the responsibility onto me.” Instead of answering, I gave him…

Palgap watched me for a moment before asking what was wrong, and I silently pointed ahead. He followed my finger, flinched, and slowly began backing away. “What are you doing?” “Lady Hyang-ok scares me too, you see.” Unlike in my previous life, my martial prowess now far surpassed Cousin Hyang-ok’s.

At my question, the Emperor let out a quiet snort of amusement. “Why? Are you afraid I might do something to your master?” “No, Your Majesty.” “Hmm?” “My master may get caught up in trouble, but he would never be the one to cause it. Besides, if there were truly a problem, Your Majesty wouldn’t…

Seeing my alarm, Master calmly reassured me. “No need to be alarmed. It won’t harm Escort Guard Jin Yu. When he wakes up, he’ll feel like a new man.” Then Master turned to Palgap. “Take him to his room and lay him down.” When I nodded, Palgap walked over to Escort Guard Jin Yu and…

The moment I returned, I had to throw myself into work without even catching my breath. The unexpected trip to Luoyang had cost me more time than I could afford. Seriously, the Murim Alliance never did a single thing to make my life easier! I was silently cursing the Murim Alliance as I worked when–…

A short while later, Geumryeong returned. – Good work! – Kui! – You did exactly what I told you, right? – Kui-kui! Kui! It did exactly as I’d instructed, so could I stop worrying and get its Gold Taels ready? Yeah, all right. I chuckled and sent Escort Guard Lee Pil a Voice Transmission. –…
