    *** ***

    Yesterday was a very tiring day for Golden Sun.

    Suddenly, the fighting dog Dang Do-gyeong came, and in the meantime, Yeo Il-ye suddenly came as well. While there are two people who look like bombs about to explode, a strange ronin is causing a commotion outside.

    The fact that Tang Do-gyeong came in was something that should have been just unlucky. It was no surprise that the famous fighting dog came running to compete with Yeo Il-ye. However, it was just unlucky that he used the golden temple as an excuse to enter Sacheon Province.

    It could be said that it was unlucky for Yeo Il-ye to attack at the same time that Tang Do-gyeong came in, but Hwang Geum-seon was prepared to do so, thinking that Yeo Il-ye would visit this golden district someday. Because Yeo Il-ye’s movements have been unusual these days.

    Still, Tang Dao-gyeong and Yeo Il-ye were things that Golden Seon could understand.

    But what on earth is the meaning of the Sacheon ronin’s sudden magic performance?

    Why is the Sacheon Ronin suddenly behaving badly in front of the Golden Family? In order to understand this incomprehensible situation, the Golden Sun called the Golden Gobulin.

    The Golden Gobulin who had been summoned by the Golden Sun was trembling.

    Among the ronin, he was someone who could not be treated carelessly as a middleman, and outside of the family, if he was called a goburin of the golden family, everyone would bow down to the family’s prestige.

    To the outside world, Gobulin was a farting person who came from a famous family and was making a lot of money himself.

    In this golden district, he was the underdog with nothing to boast about.

    Among the surnames of the golden family, it is an insignificant collateral. He is also an ugly guy who has no ability and makes a living by selling his family’s honor. That was the Gobulin that the golden family evaluated.

    Gobulin had no choice but to spit out all the information he knew in front of the golden ship. Who is the ronin named Ho Cheon-an and what has he done? From the incident where Yeo Il-ye invaded the Rongin Guesthouse and gave Ho Cheon-an a silver plaque, to the incident where he confronted Yoo Yu-yeon, to the incident where he took the commission fee from the new black cat who came in these days and the mayor of Gyeongsu.

    Gobulin just trembled and spit out everything.

    “Hocheonan…”

    Golden Sun stroked his beard and muttered.

    ‘The movements of Yeo Il-ye these days were unusual. Did you gain enlightenment and have a change of heart?’

    Yeo Il-ye, who gained enlightenment and established her inner self through Ho Cheon-an, stopped punishing only strict ronin and began to delve into the essence of the incident.

    Who is behind the scenes that destroyed the leisure lodge?

    He began wandering in search of the real enemy of the mountain lodge.

    Although it was already more than fifteen years ago, Golden Sun always felt uneasy whenever he thought of the leisure lodge. At that time, Hwang Geum-seon was at best just the third son of no special significance in the Hwanggeum family. The family and the upper tier itself did not have the same status as they do now, and how much power could there have been for just the 3rd son of a wealthy upper tier family to have had.

    At a time when he was busy taking over the Golden Street, the finishing touches on the leisure lodge had to take a backseat.

    ‘The karma comes back because of the idiots.’

    Upon hearing the news that Yeo Il-ye had joined the Jeomchang faction, Hwang Geum-seon was heartbroken. However, the business partners at that time did not want to mess with Yeo Il-ye, who was already in the shadow of Jeom Chang. They thought that young Yeo Il-ye would not be able to dig into the affairs of Yeoga Lodge.

    He simply used his power to occasionally erase traces of what happened at the leisure lodge.

    ‘After 15 years of continuous work, there would be no trace of the leisure lodge left…’

    Hwang Geum-seon was convinced that there was no evidence to prove that he had a hand in the destruction of the leisure lodge, but there was one thing.

    Fortunately, thanks to 15 years of work, Yeo Il-ye had no evidence. Yeo Il-ye’s reaction yesterday convinced Hwang Geum-seon that there was no evidence. It was clear that he came here just to stab me.

    “All people are the same.”

    Goburin was shocked, but Golden Sun was lost in thought without even looking at him.

    Humans are born so foolish that it is not uncommon for people to deceive themselves. It wasn’t just Yeo Il-ye. In order to accomplish a major task, it is not enough to prepare everything and rush ahead.

    However, in a situation where it was not possible to prepare like that or not, there were one or two people who deceived themselves by saying, ‘If you go prepared like that, the other person will be prepared,’ and then just stormed in without any preparation and tried to eat it raw.

    Just as it is impossible to build Mount Tai in a day, it is also impossible to tear it down in a day, but these foolish people mistakenly think that they are the masters who can make the impossible possible.

    Yeo Il-ye, as seen by Hwang Geum-seon, was just one of those arrogant histories.

    If you really want to destroy Taishan overnight, what you need is not history.

    It’s a crowd.

    Even if it is easy to lift 100 pounds of soil, it is not as good as having hundreds of people move the soil one pound at a time.

    The Jongnam faction, which had steadfastly defeated any expert, chose to voluntarily surrender in the face of the anger of the Sichuan people.

    If it were known that he committed evil deeds under the guise of a ronin in Sacheon, even if he was a member of the Hwangbose family, not the Golden Family, he would not be able to avoid extinction.

    “Hocheonan…Hocheonan…”

    I had already heard about the strange performance through the samurai. Are you a sorcerer who wields the power of the demon of the Great Sea Hell? Isn’t it too meaningful to be called a setting? Go Burin said that Ho Cheon-an did this to cough up the request fee, but Hwang Geum-seon did not think so.

    Hwanggeumseon took it as a criticism of the other side of Hwanggeumga itself.

    “How much did you get as your share?”

    “Ugh, it’s 30 nyang of silver. It is customary for the broker to implicitly collect 20 to 30 percent of the request fee! If it’s the amount I took, it’s a very normal ratio!”

    Gobulin, who was spewing out unasked information one after another out of fear of getting caught, was silenced by Golden Sun with a glance.

    ‘It’s 30 nyang of silver…’

    It’s not an insignificant amount.

    But to make a fuss in front of Golden Street just to get that amount of money? Even while touching the taboo of intermediaries?

    It was as if this was deliberately planned to start a fight.

    If money was really the only goal, it would have been enough to kidnap Goburin, hang him, and show off his spicy taste like a Sichuan ronin.

    A merchant’s weapon is his face.

    A thick face and a speaking mouth are the weapons of a merchant.

    The unmanned weapon is pain and fear.

    Touching Goburin lightly without leaving any evidence was an easier way to get money than making a fuss in front of the golden house, and it was a method that Muin would choose.

    ‘It’s called witchcraft…’

    Golden Sun burst out laughing. At best, I never thought I would make this golden ship feel threatened with a grab like that.

    The crowd gathered today was at most a few hundred people.

    If the performance continues tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, how many people will gather in front of Golden Street?

    Strange flyer. A jujeonburi. Be dexterous. The method of bringing people together was ridiculous, but the results that would result were absolutely laughable.

    ‘It gave me enlightenment.’

    It was information that would have made a military person greedy for enlightenment, but Golden Sun was a merchant. What Hwanggeumseon paid attention to was not such a rumor, but the fact that Ho Cheon-an and Yeo Il-ye were connected to the Eunwonpae.

    In the end, doesn’t that mean that a person named Ho Cheon-an can treat women well?

    A person who holds both the crowd and history in his hands.

    If Ho Cheon-an was truly hostile and tried to oppose the Golden Family, he would be enough of a threat.

    ‘But…I don’t know about the grudge relationship.’

    The fact that he made a fuss in front of Golden Street was in itself an aggressive attitude, so there was a high possibility that he was someone with a grudge. However, Golden Sun had no clue about Ho Cheon-an.

    Golden Sun sighed. Was there one or two dirty corners in Golden Street? Although it was not as big a deal as the leisure lodge fifteen years ago, there were quite a few flaws that had accumulated since then.

    Although he steadily destroyed evidence of such incidents, manipulated public opinion, and even showered gold with the martial arts people, he maintained a close relationship with them.

    Even the golden line had no way of knowing how the resentment remaining in the victims’ hearts blossomed.

    ‘Do we have to face each other…’

    Hwang Geum-seon, who was thinking of meeting Ho Cheon-an in person, shook his head. Golden Sun is the head of the Golden Family. It would have been unpleasant for a ronin to come and go to the Golden House, but it was important to avoid rumors that the head of the household had met the ronin in person.

    “Keep the relationship with Goburin and Hocheonan clean. And report his every move.”

    “Jo, honorific name!”

    Golden Sun looked down at Gobulin with distrustful eyes. I don’t have any expectations, but since they’re so close, I’m sure they’ll ask for some information.

    How to know your opponent so you can figure out how to deal with them.

    Hwanggeumseon decided to investigate Hocheonan first.

    With the determination of the golden line.

    In the darkness of Sacheon, the three letters Hocheonan began to flow.

    What is destiny?

    It was something that was a mixture of a passing coincidence, an inevitability that must be met, and accumulated karma.

    The coincidence of Yeo Il-ye meeting Ho Cheon-an, the inevitability of Tang Dao-gyeong visiting Sichuan Province to meet Yeo Il-ye, and the karma accumulated by Hwang Geum-ga and Hwang Geum-seon.

    It all met and became fate.

    Hocheonan, who was caught in the crosshairs of all these events, also had no choice but to be caught up in that fate. Is the fate that Ho Cheon-an caught up in truly fortunate or not?

    Where will the result of luck that gently twists even the sky’s scale lead?

    It was something that could only be known at the end of Ho Cheon-an’s actions.
