Chapter 37 (1/2)

Mdm Rogue looked around at the decently seated prostitutes from the white flower brothel.

There were five of them, all of great beauty. They did not know any battle skills but were more observant than any others.

They were Mdm Rogues’ direct reports.

Mdm rogue received the money from Cheon Geum Ryeon to support the Haomoon branch, and she was in charge of this branch.

Also Mdm rogue was a student of the Haomoon leader.

“Anything new from Cheon Geum Ryeon?”

The one seated most right answered her question.

“No. They’re collectively agreeing to step back and observe the situation for now. I’m sure they are taken aback. Nobody would ever have imagined the golden wall clan to be so powerful.

Mdm rogue nodded her head.

Haomoon had played nearly no part in this incident. The only thing they supported was to create the white flower brothel, gather information on the black thieve, and find a way to get to them.

And they had accomplished that task brilliantly.

The problem was what came next, which was planned by Cheon Geum Ryeon and the Jong clan.

And they got played out.

The problem arose when Cheon Geum Ryeon provided the information on the golden wall clan.

More than half of the information they provided had been wrong.

The golden wall clan had avoided the crisis with the help of the doctors, but at a glance, it would be blamed on the wrong information.

“Did you check to see if it was similar to the information we gathered?’

“Yes. Even if it had been us we would not have been able to avoid the problem entirely.”

“Amazing.”

“They are not to be taken easily.

Mdm rogue nodded her head. Even from the start she never thought they were easy, but now she was more defensive than ever.

And now they had to investigate very carefully.

Because a monster lived in that place.

“Baek Taesan…what is his identity?”

He was impossible to understand.

Mdm Rogue who had taken a moment to gather her thoughts then looked up with bright eyes.

“Start investigating the Golden wall clan form today.”

The five ladies looked to Mdm Rogue. They seemed to want a more specific steer.

“Investigate on all the information about the battle skills the golden wall clan adopt.”

The five ladies looked a little surprised.

The goldenwall clan were interested in their forces but even without investigating they already knew as much as there was to know.

It wasn’t something to be this conscious and focused about.

“You have to be extra careful.”

“Sorry?”

The five ladies grew even more curious. Of course, they had to be careful. But to be cautioned to this extent meant they had to be even more careful than usual.

For example, even when they were told to investigate Cheon Geum Ryeon, they were told to be careful.

But now they were told to be extra careful so it was difficult to compare, making them confused further.

“How careful should we be?”

“Adopt the same amount of caution you would have if you were investigating a royal household.

“What?”

The golden wall clan were great, but they were clearly different from a royal household.

The five ladies were unable to hide their surprise and continued to look at Mdm Rogue.

“And don’t even go near the second prince, Baek Tae San.”

The five ladies’ expression’s finally turned serious.

Taesan had been here yesterday. Cheon Geum Ryeon and the Jong clan had a confrontation.

The one who resolved that had been Taesan, Gyongwasn, and Yoo, as well as the doctor that was found in their company.

Now it seemed like that was not the only case.

“And…”

As Mdm rogue opened her mouth to speak, the other ladies tensed up even more. Things were already confusing as it is, what more could she say?

“Dig deeper into Cheon Geum Ryeon. And try to find out more about the organization backing them up. This is also dangerous, you know that right?”

“Yes. We are well aware.”

It was an organization that used the mighty dark moon sword as their messenger. It wouldn’t be easy to look into an organization like that.

There may be consequences.

But they had to do it regardless. Because the Amyeongbo was at stake.

Mdm Rogue’s face turned serious as she thought of Amyeongbo.

‘I think it’ll be best…to call for backup.’

The Haomoon’s future may depend on this.

***

“My Prince, the Dongho foundation have reached out asking for further advice.”

“The Dongho foundation? Tell them to figure it out.”

“What?”

“They’re not widely known, and they’re already professional.”

“Even so…The Jong clan matter depends on them….”

Taesan smirked.

“Do you think the Jong clan can survive this?”

“No. I’m sure it will be absorbed by Cheon Geum Ryeon. So you intend to step back and watch?”

“If I interfere any further it will expose the Dongho foundation.”

“Well, you can always relocate them. They’re good at that kind of stuff. Going missing in action for a while then relocating.”

“Maybe it would have worked some other time. But for now, it’s best to remain in the status quo.”

“What??? Ah…!”

The doctor finally grasped Taesan’s intention.

Had it been another time, they would have been able to resolve things easily with the help of the Cheonma followers.

But right now because of Hyeon Cheon Jin, the Cheonma followers were unable to fully expose their skills.

“But such a situation…will be resolved soon, don’t you think?”

Had it been a normal situation it would have. But their current situation was far from normal.

In the history of the Cheonma clan, it was the worst they were in.

It would take a long time until the next leader Cheonma was found to destroy Hyeon Cheon Jin.

Because those that made a good candidate were already killed.

There was a similar incident a few hundred years ago. Although it wasn’t recorded.

Even then a Cheonma went mad and killed everyone around him but it was not as bad as it was now.

Ever since that incident, not many people stayed near Cheonma.

But this time things were different.

Those folks had planned and strategized ahead to eliminate me.

‘Did those fools really think that they could win over me?”

They probably did. That’s why to increase their chances they came attacking in a big group.

The elders, his subordinates, and each lead from the sub packs came together. And he killed every single one of them.

So Hyeon Cheon Jin was not bound to open up for some time.

At least until things were figured out and a new Cheonma appeared.

But I wonder how long that would take.

“Maybe…around ten years?”
