Chapter 68 (1/2)

Byeoktaesan, who was trying to go to Yeon-Ha-rin, turned around seeing Yeon-Ha-rin and the old man talking with a very serious expression.

He didn’t want to get in there and interfere.

He didn’t have any particular business with her anyway.

He decided to head towards the place a little further away from Byeoktaesan, where the Geumokruju was interrogating the muscular giant.

After all, it’s best to grab someone in a situation like this and have a serious conversation.

Byeoktaesan approached the giant with light steps.

As he slowly moved there, he recalled the familiarity he felt when he saw the fight between Yeon Ha-rin and that giant.

‘I wonder why he felt familiar?’

If he wanted the memories of the days when he was a Cheonma, he can vividly recall them as if he was going through them again, but the identity of that familiarity was not easily remembered.

It was obviously familiar, but he couldn’t even tell where it came from.

At first, he thought that the giant was a person he originally knew. But that wasn’t the case.

Although that giant was definitely pretty skilled, even then his skills were far too low for Cheonma to notice him.

‘Then was it the weapon he was holding?’

The giant used a huge sword that fits his size. Byeoktaesan shook his head.

It wasn’t that either. The likelihood of seeing such a low-level sword like that would have been really low back when he was the Cheonma.

Perhaps maybe if it was before he became the Cheonma then it was possible.

‘Wait before I became the Cheonma?’

Byeoktaesan tilted his head and shook it.

It wasn’t even that. Even in the memory before he became the Cheonma, there was no memory of such a huge and low-quality sword.

Even if he had ever encountered it by chance, it wouldn’t leave an impression on him.

While thinking about that, he arrived in front of the giant.

The giant sat in a state of being half fine.

His latent power exploded so he wouldn’t quite die, but he couldn’t get back his original body either.

No, he can fix it completely for him, but he didn’t.

As Byeoktaesan approached, the Geumokruju hurriedly moved away and made room.

In fact, she didn’t want to be here.

Because it was meant that she would be exposed in front of so many people.

However, she had to give up everything and do what he told her to do at a single chin gesture from Byeoktaesan.

Nevertheless, there were no complaints. Byeoktaesan’s instructions were always so important that it cannot be compared with the likes of her identity.

There were many people who could replace the Geumokruju anyway. When her identity was revealed, she could always take on other tasks.

“Did you find out anything?”

The Geumokruju responded politely to Byeoktaesan’s question.

“For now, just his name and his affiliation.”

His eyes widened when she said she had found out his name and affiliation. He had never said that himself.

“His name is Ma Seok Kwang, and he is the leader of Cheongryuchae.”

“Cheongryuchae?”

“It’s a group of pirates that were active around Uichang. They aren’t active anymore. It has been a few years since their leader had disappeared.”

“So… It seems that the lost boss, who disappeared, reappeared leading half Kang-shi?”

“That’s right.”

The giant Ma Seok Kwang looked at the Geumokruju with shocking and confused eyes.

What she asked of him was really no big deal.

But how did she find out that?

Byeoktaesan asked while looking at Ma Seok Kwang.

“You, you don’t know anything, do you? Well, It only makes sense that you don’t. You are just a little bitch that do what you are told to do so it would be weird if you knew anything. “

Ma Seok Kwang stared at Byeoktaesan. But he couldn’t refute a single word. Because it was all true.

“By the way, why did you explode your latent powers? You didn’t mean to commit suicide, right?”

“I was going to pop it halfway. Then I can have it fixed.”

“Explode your latent power halfway? Is that even possible?”

“It is possible for me. It is a technique that can be used once during an emergency.”

Byeoktaesan turned his head this time to find the Cheon Chu Shin Ui and the Il Chim Gui. From now on, it was time for them to find out.

“By the way, aren’t these idiots being way too mischievous using human bodies as experiments?”

Byeoktaesan muttered and frowned.

Yeon Ha-rin was sitting face to face with the old man and talking.

In fact, she didn’t go to the old man first, but the old man came to Yeon Ha-rin to talk to her first.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, the damage would have been great.”

“It was nothing. Actually, I didn’t do much.”

Yeon Ha-rin said that and glanced at Byeoktaesan in the distance.

“He did it.”

The old man nodded at her words. That was true. If it wasn’t for Byeoktaesan, everyone would have had to bury their bones here.

As such, the half Kang-shi had a terrifying feel to them.

It was also not easy to stop that one great master among them.

At the same time as Byeoktaesan appeared, the great master fell behind. And the peculiar half Kang-shi that came with him also rushed out.

They were much stronger than the other half Kang-shi, but because of them, the damage on this side was not small by any means.

They were able to manage with the other ordinary half Kang-shi. Anyway, the ones here were promising prospects from each family, and they were masters who followed to protect them.

But strong half Kang-shi were very difficult to deal with even with such masters.

It was much stronger and faster. In addition, the attack was sharp and subtle as see if they had practiced martial arts quite a bit.

If the old man had been able to fight properly, the situation wouldn’t have turned out this way, but the old man had to fight their leader.

He was such a great master that the old man could hardly deal with him.

“But if it weren’t for you, your fiancé wouldn’t have come, so it is right to give credit to you.”

Yeon Ha-rin did not deny those words. She laughed softly. It was her wish and faith after all.

The old man looked at Yeon Ha-rin with regretful eyes.

“It seemed like you would get along really well with the child of my family, but it’s a shame. It would have been nice if we had met a little earlier… … .”

The old man’s name was Baek Li Jang Cheon, a Baek Li Household’s elder.

He was also the elder brother of Baek Li-yeop, the current Homuryeonju.

Of course, the child of the family he had in mind was Baek Ri Moon Ryang, the most influential successor of the Baek Ri Household.

Yeon Ha-rin smiled and spoke.

“We were engaged since we were very young, so maybe even if we met early, nothing would have changed.”

Baek Li Jang Cheon laughed. Wasn’t it an answer that didn’t leave any room?

“You really have a firm faith. But… I’m not sure if your fiancé feels the same as you. Don’t you think so?”

Yeon Ha-rin replied with a serious expression.

“Why would that be important?”

Baek Ri Jang Cheon opened his eyes wide shockingly because Yeon Ha-rin’s answer was so unexpected.

“It is just my will to believe in him and follow him to the end. And… … .”

Yeon Ha-rin thought about it for a while, and then finally spoke.

“I have already received enough.”

Baek Ri Jang Cheon smiled at the appearance of Yeon Ha-rin.
