Chapter Index

    *** ***

    Wow! Wow!

    Golden Sun tore up the flyer and threw it away, wheezing. This was a provocation.

    “…A child who won’t be happy even if he chews like this.”

    Golden Sun thought of Hocheonan. A goby who performed a strange magic trick in front of Golden Street. However, since then, there has been no sign of opposing the Golden Family, it is not attached to Sichuan Province, and after investigation, it has no connection with Yeo Il-ye.

    I didn’t pay much attention to the Golden Gobulin’s occasional reports, as there was nothing unusual about them other than him wandering around outside.

    I suspected that it was connected to Yeo Il-ye, but the connection was too thin, so I ruled it out.

    The golden line felt as scary as anger. After Hocheonan’s existence was revealed, it felt as if there was a noose around my neck.

    ‘Are you a survivor of the leisure lodge? Or is it something else?’

    The existence of Hocheonan pushed everything into an unknown abyss of chaos. If it is related to Yeo Il-ye, does this even extend to Jeomchang? Where did this plan come from?

    Was it all part of the plan that Yeo Il-ye burst through the main gate of Golden Street? No, was the bizarre performance in front of Golden Street part of the plan? Did they secure probability by exposing the silver medal at that time?

    Is it a coincidence that Tang Dao-gyeong, who appeared then, has now reappeared? I also remembered the rumor that Dang Do-gyeong used to frequent the royal guesthouse. Is this a situation where even the party line is entangled?

    “Damn it!”

    It was a plan designed to hunt Yeo Il-ye. I never thought that other beings would get involved in that situation. Why did the governor intervene and allow the Tang family to intervene with the position that they were local nobles? Are you going to come out of there and rally the martial arts people?

    Now that I look at it, Master Cheongheo’s hasty withdrawal seems suspicious. Did you know the information? It would have been possible if he was in the same team as Yeo Il-ye or Hyuk Kirin.

    ‘Who’s the axis, who’s the axis!’

    Who laid the trap to catch Yeo Il-ye and set up the plan to hunt her? Is it Yeo-il-ye? Or is it a fortune teller? Is it Sima Yan of Tae-soo? Is it a party price? Is it Hocheonan?

    Is this person named Ho Cheon-an really a threat? Could it be a bait from other forces to confuse the Golden Sun? The author, Ho Cheon-an, may have been related to Yeo Il-ye or served as Hyeok Kirin’s bodyguard, but he was nothing more than a Sichuan ronin with no background.

    So, isn’t it possible that they just used that nerve-wracking leaflet to confuse people?

    Uddangtangtang!!

    Golden Sun overturned the desk and threw, kicked, and smashed the fallen items. Golden Sun, who had been smashing things like that for a while, was out of breath. After expressing my anger a little, my head started spinning.

    Now, it didn’t matter who was behind it.

    ‘First, we must evacuate the bandits!’

    After writing the letter in a hurry, Hwanggeumseon called a trusted subordinate and delivered the letter.

    “Depart as soon as it gets dark and deliver it to Sanchae!”

    “Honorable name!”

    The bandits had to be evacuated at all costs. At the very least, all executives and creditors had to be taken away. If they were all caught, there was a high possibility that their connection would be revealed.

    Safety measures were taken, but the situation was not something that could be resolved with just those safety measures.

    Next, Hwanggeumseon immediately gathered together the representatives of Hwangbosega, Cheongseong, Ami, and Jongnam.

    “I believe you have heard the news of the proclamation.”

    Golden Sun read the facial expressions of the four people. He seemed to be worried that if the bandits were subdued, the branch construction project would be completely canceled or the support plan would be drastically reduced.

    “Don’t worry. There will not be any major changes to the existing branch opening support plan.”

    “Oh, is that so.”

    “Yes, of course. Although the party’s charlatans have stepped forward now, there is no guarantee that something like this will not happen again in the future.”

    “Oh, thank goodness.”

    The representatives of the clans looked relieved. The support provided by the Sichuan Merchants’ Federation was also support, but the most important thing for them was that the Sichuan Merchants’ Federation provided a justification for the Hwangbo family to settle in Sichuan Province.

    ‘Okay, there’s nothing to worry about…’

    After comforting the representatives of the factions, Hwang Geum-seon felt his mind calming down a bit.

    As long as Hwangbo, Ami, Cheongseong, and Jongnam are present, direct intervention by Tangga or Jeomchang can be prevented. Even if the connection with the bandits was revealed, the current Golden Sun was a victim of enormous damage due to the bandits.

    There are suspicions that they intentionally brought in bandits to kill all the small business owners, but it was not a big enough blow to shake the Golden Street itself.

    It was also the case of the leisure lodge that could overthrow the golden line in one fell swoop.

    ‘Yeoilye….Hocheonan.’

    Going around, it’s Yeo Il-ye and Ho Cheon-an. Golden Sun gritted his teeth gently.

    ‘If you provoked me, you should get back at me.’

    An attack on Ho Cheon-an. And another provocation for Yeo Il-ye.

    The golden line gritted its teeth and moved.

    *** ***

    Pow!

    The attacker was thrown into an alley.

    “The road today is difficult.”

    “I think today will be a very fun day.”

    Yeo Il-ye looked at Dang Do-yeon, who was disguised as a guard like her. Even though Hu Tianan recommended it, I didn’t expect someone from the Tang family to come out disguised like this.

    Should I say that Ho Cheon-an’s liver, who disguises Tang family members and uses them as bodyguards, is swollen? Should I say that Dang Do-yeon, who agrees to this again and comes out with an interesting expression, is immature?

    Attackers were stationed in the alley leading to Seongnakru, but at best, the street thugs were simply swept away in the hands of the two supreme leaders.

    “Um hot hot hot hot!!”

    As soon as he enters Seongrakru, Ho Cheon-an bursts out laughing and attracts attention.

    Even people who were talking passionately about the bandit suppression force paid attention to Hocheonan.

    Murmur.

    “Who is that person?”

    It was natural, but there were very few people who came to Giru every day, and because the story about the bandit suppression army led by Tang Tao-gyeong was heating up Sichuan Province, there were very few people currently in Seongnakru who recognized Ho Cheon-an.

    “Yesterday’s lucky goby showed up wearing gold lacquer.”

    However, the few people who recognized Ho Cheon-an looked at him with disapproving eyes. I was disgusted that a rich boy came with a beautiful samurai and won money through luck.

    Today, not only did he show up wearing shiny new clothes that made me think ‘I’m a rich man’, but he also showed up with one more beautiful bodyguard.

    “Chunhyang! Take a close look at this guy’s amazing gambling skills! I won a hundred taels of gold yesterday too! Let’s aim for 1150 nyang today!”

    The people who heard it were astonished. And I immediately understood what kind of person Ho Cheon-an was. A kid who has no idea about the world or gambling, who used up all his life’s fortune yesterday! On a topic like that, why come into the garrison with two women in fancy clothes?

    Dang Do-yeon was impressed.

    As soon as he entered, Ho Cheon-an succeeded in letting the crowd know what kind of person he was and attracting hostile gaze and attention.

    “Oh my~ Master. Since you came to Giru and the gambling house, set your goal big and how about 200 nyang of gold~”

    “Hahaha! Yes, my bowl was small! good night! Today’s goal is 200 cats! Wahahahahaha!”

    “Ohhohoho~”

    Ho Cheon-an nodded, satisfied with Dang Do-yeon’s performance.

    Dang Do-yeon’s role today is to fan the flames so that Master Un, who doesn’t know what’s going on in the world, can be even more hateful!

    ‘Debt performance is good. ‘I can do a very big salting today.’

    Most people in Giru are already giving hostile looks, and some are even muttering swear words.

    “You idiot! Today I will exact revenge on you! Take a seat at the board!”

    “Oh~ Did you bring a lot of money today? Yesterday, the stake ran out in the middle, so I lost…”

    Gu Ju-jin, who had stolen dozens of taels of gold yesterday, gritted his teeth and glared at Ho Cheon-an.

    I submitted a request to catch the returning Hocheon-an and bring it before my eyes, but the only reply I received was that it had failed. In any case, I was suspicious that one of the special customers who had been robbed by Ho Cheon-an yesterday might have paid more to steal Ho Cheon-an, so I stormed into Giru with the intention of challenging Seongrakru directly, but Ho Cheon-an was making a fuss.

    ‘You useless Seongrakru bastards!’

    It must have really been a failure, from the luxurious clothes all at once to the triumphant look!

    Gu Ju-jin gritted his teeth as he looked at Ho Cheon-an, who had humiliated him.

    ‘We hired two of Seongrakru’s top gamblers. this guy!’

    “I have to win 200 taels of gold today. If there is no stake, I would try it with someone else…”

    Gu Ju-jin, who was already feverish at the sight of Ho Cheon-an sitting on a chair, crossing his legs and tapping his feet, felt his face turn red.

    “Take out my money right now!”

    “Yes yes!”

    The gambling scene began to unfold. Dang Do-yeon was impressed by Ho Cheon-an’s brilliant gambling skills. In fact, Gu Ju-jin had the skills of a beginner, but the gamblers who sat with Gu Ju-jin seemed to Dang Do-yeon to have extraordinary skills.

    “Eight! Let’s go!”

    “Damn it!!”

    “Whahahaha. Looks like you’ll be lucky today too!”

    Ho Cheon-an was just playing around with the game. Sometimes, you suddenly get hit by a low hand and lose. After losing, they show off and show off for anyone to see. On unexpectedly good cards, they either add small amounts or make them crazy big. Anyone can see that he looks like a novice at gambling.

    However, the money continued to flow to Ho Cheon-an’s side.

    “It’s another car!”

    “Goo Joo-jin is unlucky today!”

    ‘You are in complete control of the gambling scene.’

    Ho Cheon-an continued to eat away at the gold of Gu Ju-jin and the gamblers with narrow losses. For Ho Cheon-an, who already dominates the gambling world, whether the difference between his hands and his opponent’s hand is large or small has no meaning.

    [Hey, did you see this great sight yesterday too?]

    Yeo Il-ye tried to turn her head when she heard Dang Do-yeon’s voice, but stopped. Anyway, since it is a transmission between climaxes, is there anyone who can notice?

    [You are good at acting.]

    “Wow! Master, you won again! I guess today is Master’s Day!”

    “Hahaha! Chunhyang, this is not luck, it’s skill!”

    [Hehe, Sojeo Yeo is great too. I’m talking about acting as a stoic escort who is on edge because he is worried about the safety of Ho Ronin.]

    Yeo Il-ye was silent. That was because it wasn’t really acting.

    [Isn’t it exhilarating?]

    Yeo Il-ye turned her head to Dang Do-yeon. Yeo Il-ye recalled Ho Cheon-an’s words. It was said that the party shared information, excluding the part about Yeo Il-ye’s enemies. Therefore, Dang Do-yeon must have thought that he had just come to rob Sichuan’s villain.

    ‘Exhilarating… la.’

    suddenly. The top floor became noisy. Yeo Il-ye took her gaze away from the gambling table and looked towards it.

    And then I made eye contact with a man in fancy clothes.

    ‘Seongrak Rouge Yoo Ji-gyeong.’

    Yeo Il-ye looked at Yu Ji-gyeong. Yoo Ji-gyeong was glaring at Ho Cheon-an while listening to the person next to him explain something. It seems that he came to see Ho Cheon-an in person, who was wreaking havoc at the business.

    When I looked at my enemy’s face, my heart pounded reflexively, but my heart did not soar.

    ‘Why?’

    As I was thinking about that, Yoo Ji-gyeong’s gaze returned. The disapproving gaze passed from Dang Do-yeon to Yeo Il-ye. and…

    Yoo Ji-gyeong’s complexion instantly turned pale.

    ‘It looks like you saw through my disguise.’

    Yeo Il-ye calmly looked up at Yu Ji-gyeong and thought. Well, actually, it’s not even a disguise. Put on makeup and get a mole. At this level, anyone who knew Yeo Il-ye’s face would be able to recognize her.

    Yoo Ji-gyeong took a step back and ran away, and her associates were seen following in confusion.

    Looking at the back…

    “It’s fun.”

    [Oh Sojeo, speak in full voice!]

    Yeo Il-ye thought to herself, trying to stop herself from laughing. What can Yoo Ji-kyung do? What can he do for Ho Cheon-an and himself, who are ruining their business at their workplace? I couldn’t do anything.

    nothing.

    How can Hocheonan, guarded by two supreme masters, be destroyed by force? If Giru is banned from entering, will Hocheonan stay still? I didn’t know what method they would use, but it was certain that it would inflict enough damage that it would be better to let them in.

    Special customers will not watch Hocheon-an’s actions that trample on his reputation and stronghold, and will either peck at Seongraknu or abandon Seongraknu.

    How will Seongrak Rouge Yu Ji-kyung feel when she sees a super expert who can take her head at any time come to her karma and destroy it?

    Wouldn’t he just be stuck somewhere and tremble, filled with helplessness and fear that he couldn’t do anything?

    Can you imagine that feeling? Yeo Il-ye couldn’t stop laughing.

    [Sozer, Sozer? If you keep laughing, the smoke will break…]

    “Hahaha! It looks like Hyangdan is finally feeling the joy of gambling!”

    Ho Cheon-an must have also heard Yeo Il-ye’s laughter and turned to look at Yeo Il-ye. Ho Cheon-an said with a smile that was different from his acting.

    “Didn’t I tell you yesterday! It will be okay in one day!”

    At those words, Yeo Il-ye recalled yesterday’s conversation before entering Seongrakru.

    [However, I can’t control my emotions as easily as I wanted.]

    [It will be okay starting tomorrow.]

    […I don’t think you’ll get used to it in one day, though.]

    ‘Is this what it meant?’

    “Yes. you’re right. Master.”

    Yeo Il-ye laughed.

    The day hasn’t even passed yet.

    Yeo Il-ye started looking forward to tomorrow.
