Chapter 2 (2/2)

The thing he couldn’t stand currently about his new body was his face.

“Not handsome at all.”

That comment made the ladies laugh and look at each other.

“Look at their faces. They are desperate to sit next to you.”

“A man’s face should look manly.”

“Gosh? You look manly enough. It still makes me want to protect you. Ain’t no woman who wouldn’t fall in love with you after seeing your face.”

The lady was complimenting him, but Taesan Byeok didn’t like it. Such a comment was denying his past.

“Stop talking about lame outer appearances and let’s talk about something else.”

The lady laughed and nodded, “What should we talk about? Ladies in here are not only pretty but are smart too so you will feel worth talking to.”

There were 10 smart ladies from this brothel.

“Yeah? That’s something I look forward to. Now, should we talk about statuses in this Martial World?”

The ladies’ eyes were shining.

“You are interested in the Martial World.”

“You don’t need to worry about Muhan as the Golden Wall Clan has full control… The Marital World Union is a hot topic. Should we start from there?”

“The Marital World Union sounds fine. So, what are they doing lately?”

The ladies gave an ambiguous look.

“Although nobody is listening to us, if you say it freely like that you may get into trouble.”

Taesan Byeok laughed. Who dares to put me into trouble?

‘Well… I should be careful with this body.’

I don’t want to make any hassle.

“Anyway, let’s talk. What is the Martial World Union doing?”

“It’s a mess. They planned to fight with Magyo but Magyo hid himself.”

“What? Magyo hid himself?”

Taesan Byeok looked at ladies as he heard some nonsense.

“As Magyo surrounded himself with absolute technique so he is completely isolated from this world. It’s a special technique.”

“Special technique?”

“Ah! I think that’s right. It was something like that. What I heard is you can’t deactivate the technique without a special key.”

“That’s true. Yes, there is such a technique.”

Taesan Byeok nodded his head as he understood what was going on.

It was a special technique which required a special activation condition.

Once activated, it was almost impossible to trespass.

It was that perfect that it could completely separate the inner and outer walls.

The activation condition was Lord’s death.

The key to deactivate was also the Lord.

So, until there is a new Lord, it is impossible to deactivate the special technique.

Also, the proof of Lord is Special Magic increasing the Soul.

‘Then… until I go there, nobody can deactivate the special technique.’

There were 5 Lord candidates, but they were killed before Taesan Byeok died.

There was nothing stopping Taesan Byeok. It’s because they were killed as they attacked Taesan Byeok first.

“What’s next?”

“I don’t know that. Just… enhance surveillance?

“They must be fighting among themselves in the near future.”

The lady didn’t respond to that. But her eyes and face showed that she thought the same.

Taesan Byeok looked at the lady with surprise.

He thought the insight and information were quite impressive.

‘A lady who works in Muhan should know that much.’

Taesan Byeok looked at the lady with mysterious eyes and asked, “Good. Now you talk about me.”

“Sorry?”

“Tell me everything you know about the second prince of the Golden Wall Clan.”

The ladies were nervous.

Taesan Byeok laughed as he observed them becoming anxious.

“I promise you won’t get into trouble for saying anything here. You can even curse me. You can criticize me for being ugly.”

Somehow, there seems to be genuineness in the last word.

Surely, the ladies couldn’t speak out as they would be responsible for what they said given that he could change his mind.

“Each person will tell me one thing. You must tell me starting from you.”

Taesan Byeok looked at the lady closest to him.

The lady gave a hesitant facial expression. Afterwards, she gave up and opened her mouth.

“So….”

This’ll work to make each lady say one thing about me.

The ladies had to talk about Taesan Byeok so they were pressured and came up with rumors about him.

This information was not obtainable from Soso.

Of course, I don’t consider all information to be true.

I will organize the thoughts in my head and distinguish the ones that seem reasonable after comparing them with the information I have now.

The most absurd information I obtained was that Taesan Byeok only had 1,000 gold, and a small place with some items.

That was the only amount Taesan Byeok could get if he declared independence anytime.

This was set by the father to prevent turmoil when Taesan Byeok’s older brother Taesu Byeok inherited the clan.

When the father gave such a word, Taesan Byeok’s body was weak and no one made a rebuttal.

It was same even now.

This rumor was well known in Muhan that everyone knew about it.

Only Taesan Byeok just found out.

Of course, the body owner probably knew about it.

Anyway, Taesan Byeok who obtained new information looked at the lady next to him.

“Let’s take a nap.”

Taesan Byeok looked around other ladies and continued to speak.

“It’s too much for me to handle all of you… I think I just need you.”

As Taesan Byeok spoke, he gave small gold pieces to other ladies.

The ladies were smiling after receiving gold pieces and nodded before they left the room.

As two people were inside the room, Taesan Byeok looked at the lady next to him with expectations.

Then they moved to the bed.

“Now shall we enjoy?”

Taesan Byeok put his palm on the lady’s head.

The lady looked at Taesan Byeok with mysterious eyes.

Taesan Byeok laughed and took the spirit from the lady.
