Chapter 675: PAID

As I headed to the designated location, a middle-aged man wearing the Martial Alliance’s uniform greeted me.

“It’s been a while.”

It was Bumdong, whom I had seen previously.

“Yes, it’s been a while.”

When I greeted him with a reluctant expression, Bumdong chuckled.

“I apologize for coming so suddenly.”

His expression didn’t look apologetic at all.

“You’re telling me. You showed up right when I was about to eat. And I was already hungry.”

I didn’t bother to give the typical polite reply about it being fine.

Because it wasn’t fine.

“I felt I didn’t introduce myself properly last time, so I decided to visit.”

“Then why not come later? Why now, of all times…?”

“I am Bumdong, the commander of the Flying Dragon Unit of the Martial Alliance. It’s an honor to meet you, So Yeomra.”

“...”

I almost snapped, but hearing the nickname made me change my expression instead.

It had been a long time since anyone had called me that.

‘Well, look at this?’

I wondered why Bumdong had come to see me, but it seemed he had gathered some information and decided to show up.

‘He figured out who I am. Is that what this is about?’

Well, seven days and nights were plenty of time. And considering the intelligence department’s capabilities…

‘They probably didn’t just figure out my identity.’

I was starting to get curious about what exactly had brought him here.

Creak.

I pulled out a chair and sat down. Then, I spoke to Bumdong.

“I am Gu Yangcheon of the Gu family.”

“So, I finally get to hear your real name. Initially, you called yourself Gui Jeol-yeop, which made it a bit difficult to track you down.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing Bumdong’s words, I smirked.

‘This guy didn’t even try to hide his intentions, huh?’

Gui Jeol-yeop was a fake name I had used when Bihyeonhwa approached me.

And for Bumdong to bring it up so openly…

It was a clear sign he had no intention of hiding the fact that he had been investigating me.

“I was surprised. I didn’t expect you to be the legendary So Yeomra.”

I stayed silent, simply looking at Bumdong, and he continued to speak.

“They say you’re the young master who once caused an uproar in Zhongyuan. But honestly, I didn’t believe the rumors.”
