Merchant

I said to Young Clan Lord Moyong Tae-geol, “Then please say I’ve regained consciousness now.” “Right now?” “Yes. If I stay in a coma, I’ll miss the best part of the show, won’t I? And we need my testimony to make the charges stick.” He nodded at that. “That’s true. Then I’ll call for a…

Lost in thought, I recalled what had happened before. The time Brother Jin-ho went to Yunnan and vanished. The reason had been the Mist Mountain phenomenon created by the Silver Mist Sword. Back then, everyone traveling with him had been fooled by it and failed to find the right path, but I alone hadn’t fallen…

Bang! Moyong Seong-geol drove his fist into the wall. Drip. Blood ran down his hand, but as if he couldn’t even feel it, he swung his fist at the wall again. Baaang! “Damn it! Damn it! Damnnn it! How dare he humiliate me like that?” He was just about to slam his fist into the…

While I was still caught off guard, Deputy Merchant Lord Bok Yun stepped in to object. “Clan Lord! What are you saying? Anyone can see Deputy Merchant Lord Eun would obviously lose a spar like that. What if he ends up seriously hurt?” “I’m not quite that heavy-handed.” Young Clan Lord Moyong Tae-geol also tried…

In the end, I dragged my exhausted body outside. As a guest, there was no way I could refuse when the host’s son was calling for me. The moment I opened the door and stepped out, the attendant cupped his fist toward me. “I’ll escort you.” “Alright.” The place I arrived at after following him…

Maybe that was why the Sect Master looked so…

Even while I was still reeling, the conversation kept going. “Are you truly sure about this? We’ll make sure the price for the Meteor Sect’s ultimate technique doesn’t disappoint you.” “I said no.” “If not us, then who else could possibly repay that enormous sum for you? The interest on what you already borrowed has…

Seeing the young man freeze up, the Meteor Sect Master tilted his head and asked. “What’s wrong? Is there some kind of problem?” “W–why is that person here…?” “Looks like you two know each other.” Right then, a woman followed behind him, holding a child as she stepped into the room where we were. “Ah!”…

After a little while, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Supervisor Bok Deok’s group arrived together with Palgap. “You made it.” “What in the world… what’s going on here?” Well, of course he’d say that. The horses they’d lost were all gathered together, and a bunch of Unorthodox Sect thugs were bound and…

At my words, Merchant Lord Bok tilted his head. “You want to go yourself?” “Yes. As Deputy Merchant Lord Bok Yun’s sworn brother – how could I just sit back and watch the Gwangjun Merchant Group struggle? I want to lend a hand too.” Merchant Lord Bok readily nodded. “Then do so.” “Thank you.” “No,…
