Chapter 879: PAID

Two more days had passed since the incident.

The aftermath of the event had mostly been dealt with, and a letter had been sent to the main alliance to report the situation. Now, with only the loose ends left to tie up, I could soon return to Hanam.

“Are you planning to visit the Tang Clan before we leave?”

At Cheol Ji-seon’s question, I nodded.

“I’ll stop by once.”

“Just once?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“There’s no need to stay longer. I’ll check on the commercial rollout, and if it’s fine, I won’t go back a second time.”

“Then I’ll contact the merchant group.”

“Sure.”

I replied while reviewing the letters. Most were reports.

As I skimmed through them, a thought occurred to me, and I asked Cheol Ji-seon:

“Did you send a message to him?”

“Oh, yes… I did.”

At the mention of “him,” Cheol Ji-seon’s expression darkened. Understandable, given how strongly he’d opposed bringing that person into the fold.

‘Well, it won’t take long to resolve.’

With the Beggar Sect involved, things would naturally fall into place as soon as that man made a move.

Of course, if the Division Leaders of the sect acted, that would be a problem in its own right…

‘I’m curious about how Ubong Chwigye will respond.’

The Master of the Beggar Sect, known to have ties to my father. How he would react was the key.

The path forward depended entirely on his actions.

“Got it. Just handle the contact with the merchant group.”

“Understood.”

Finishing the conversation, I stood up.
