Chapter 58: Divine Sword Of King Shura (1) (2/2)

The place that I arrived at when I got to Mu Han was the Wind Tavern. Since I was here, I wanted to see Kal Sa Ryang and Baek Pyo’s face as well as learn more about the Murim Alliance.

When I entered the tavern, Baek Pyo recognized me “Didn’t you come here before?”

“Yes I have. I am surprised that you remembered me.”

“How could I forget. You were my first customer. Didn’t you have some snacks and alcohol at that place?”

The first time that I came here I sat at my usual spot and ordered the food that I usually ordered when I was still the Mengju. I remembered the surprised look on Baek Pyo from before.

“Yes I have”

“Haha, you came at a good time. Please sit down.”

I sat down at my usual place. But something was different than before. There was a decoration of s.h.i.+eld and sword on the wall.

“The interior seems to have changed.”

“I just made it since I was bored.”

“It looks great.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing him like this, I was so happy that I wanted to bring him to San Dong with me.

“How is the business?”

“Haha, just enough for me to make a living.”

“Do you have any family?”

“Yes, I have a wife and a son.”

“You must be happy.”

Then Baek Pyo said it in a low tone, “You must be knowledgeable.”

“About what?”

“Before you are married you live with your eyes opened, but after you are married you live with your eyes closed.”

This was something that I had said to Baek Pyo before. Who would have thought that he would say this back to me?

“I’ll take it as you must be wise in deciding your companion.”

He stared at me.

I asked him while laughing, “Are you regretting your marriage?”

“How could I? I am very happy. Hahaha.”

Out of all the Murim-in that I knew Baek Pyo was someone who was very faithful to his family. He truly loved his wife and son.

“What should I get you today?”

“Same thing as before. Do you remember it by chance?”

“Of course.”

After handing me some alcohol and basic snacks, he went into the kitchen to prepare the dish.

After watching his figure for a bit I asked him, “Are you truly happy?”

Then Baek Pyo stopped his cooking and looked at me. He was in disarray since I must have been the first customer that had asked him such question.

Baek Pyo said while smiling, “Yes, I am happy.”

Whether that was the truth or not I did not know but it seemed that Baek Pyo was happy.

Then another customer entered the tavern.

The person who entered was Jo Byuk and he didn’t stop giving off his cold ki. He then stared at me with bloodl.u.s.t.

Since I was always suppressing my energy I must have looked like a normal customer in his eyes.

Then another person followed. This time I was surprised when I saw him. The person who just entered was Sa Ma Chun.

I remembered Sa Ma Chun’s face, it seems Baek Pyo must have remembered his face as well.

“Chancellor.”

“Do you remember me?”

“Of course. I don’t know if you might remember, but I saw you a couple of times.”

“Oh, yes we have…”

“Why have you … please have a seat here.”

Sa Ma Chun sat down.

“I heard that you were the owner of this place.”

“Ah, yes I am.”

“Can I have some wine please?”

“Of course.”

Feeling a little alarmed Baek Pyo quickly brought some snack and wine.

Baek Pyo may be alarmed, but I was more nervous than him.

Would Sa Ma Chun have come here by chance? Would he take care of someone who already left the Alliance? Of course not. He was someone who only did things that were beneficial to him. He wouldn’t care about anyone who left the alliance.

Then why was he here?

He must have had a purpose for coming here.

Something must have happened.

Sa Ma Chun asked Baek Pyo, “Have you met Kal Sa Ryang recently?”

“Oh yes, I met him once.”

“Did he come here?”

“Yes, he came over to visit when I opened this place.”

“You two must have been close.”

“Yes, we were.”

Baek Pyo didn’t hide anything and told them everything.

Good job Baek Pyo. That is how you do it. You can never lie to them about anything that they are going to investigate. You must never tell a lie, but you must also never tell them the full truth. You must stay in the gray area between the two.

Then Sa Ma Chun asked various questions like why he was running this shop, how many customers come everyday. This went on for an hour.

“I must get going since I am busy.”

“Thank you for visiting. Please take care of yourself.”

As Sa Ma Chun was about to go out he asked, “Did Kal Sa Ryang entrust you with anything?”

He asked this question so suddenly.

But Baek Pyo answered calmly, “He didn’t entrust me with anything.”

Sa Ma Chun smiled while staring at Baek Pyo, “I Hope your business is successful. Your wine tasted very good.”

With that, Sa Ma Chun exited the tavern, and my heart finally calmed down.

I didn’t know if Sa Ma Chun got what he wanted but I knew that this place and Baek Pyo would get involved in whatever was happening.

I wanted Baek Pyo to be happy. Even if I couldn’t make him into one of my subordinates, I still wanted him to be happy.

Because of that, I didn’t want Baek Pyo to be involved with whatever was happening in the Alliance.  So although I don’t know what he wanted out of Baek Pyo, I must take care of this business in Baek Pyo’s stead.

After emptying the cla.s.s I smiled and said, “Since the wine tasted so good I think I will come back tomorrow.”
