Chapter 359 - Luke is Gone 4 (2/2)

In such a time, he had fallen in a distant place with unfamiliar surroundings.

‘Well, I should feel glad to be alive, right? Besides, I haven’t lost all my power…’

Fortunately, his Black Circle was back to normal even after exhausting all of his power to break past the barrier. The forces of Magic and Aura didn’t affect him much.

All he had to do was get enough rest, and Luke would be as good as new.

‘Did Gregory’s men and himself escape as well?’

His thoughts were hazy.

The only thing he remembered was breaking out of the cage. It looked like the men had escaped from the fairies since their skills weren’t so bad.

“First, I need to find the branch of Kirillov co. in the Song Empire. Sir Hwang Bo-sung, do you know this area?”

“…”

“Sir Hwang Bo-sung?”

Looking at Hwang Bo-sung’s puzzled face, Luke took a close look at him.

The man, who was so happy just a moment ago, was frowning with a dark expression.

“What is it? Is there a problem?”

“Nothing Master. It is nothing.”

‘Why do I feel like there is something?’

As Luke thought, Hwang Bo-sung was indeed in a mess.

It was indeed a pleasure to get back to his homeland, but his family had issues.

Hwang Bo-kwang, his other brother, who was envious about his father’s attention toward Hwang Bo-sung, had taken him to another nation and tried to assassinate him using a curse, a poison, and the apostate.

Luckily, he survived that time and met his master and regained his old skills back.

He had gained a lot of skills and experiences after competing with different people in the unknown land.

‘I still don’t intend to succeed the clan. But…’

He wanted to set the past straight.

So, he wanted to get back to the clan and get his revenge.

However, talking to his brother was useless.

He didn’t want to hurt his father nor did he have any intention to shake the hearts of his poor family members.

‘It will be very wrong if master will be involved in all of this.’

Hwang Bo-sung was determined to not drag down his savior into his trouble and decided to cover up his revenge plot for a while.

“If we go to the harbor, we can catch a huge ship to the northern continent, Rhodesia, and fortunately for us, there is a huge port town nearby.”

“Really?”

“I am sure. There is a large city overlooking the clouds over there. The Hwayong Mountains, one of Song’s five famous mountains and the last gateway to Nanjing.”

Nanjing was a port city located on the Yangtze river, and they could escape from there by taking a boat to the sea.

“Nanjing… I read about it in a book. Was it a thriving city of the Song Empire? Seeing that you know your way around here, you must have visited the place.”

“Right. When I was a kid, I used to follow my father around.”

Hwang Bo-sung, who felt nostalgic, smiled upon remembering the memories of the past and soon pointed his finger to the side.

“If my memories haven’t betrayed me yet, the road isn’t much far from here. I will guide you from here, master.”

“Okay.”

Luke wondered what Hwang Bo-sung was so concerned about, but he didn’t take the liberty of asking.

People had their own secrets, and there were things that they couldn’t confide to others.

Luke knew that feeling better than anyone and decided to respect Hwang Bo-sung’s will.
