“Please identify yourself.”

The same expression, the same words.

If there were a person made of stone, it would be this person.

Moreover, there was not just one person like this.

All the security guards lined up in an orderly manner at the large main gate of the party house showed no change in their expressions.

Onlookers were amazed.

You can guess many things just by looking at one thing.

If the spirit given off by a single security guard is so strict and sharp, how amazing must the guards above him be.

“They say there is a Namgung in Anhui and a Tangmun in Sacheon, but it is truly a lie.”

“Obviously. People who don’t know anything say that Tangmun is nothing but poison and memorization, but what is truly scary is people. It is scary because party members use poison and memorization.”

“That’s true. Everyone in their neighborhood must be the type of person who eats as much as they can, but they can’t even say a word to the security guard.”

“The world is wide and there is a sky above the sky.”

“Rather than that, wouldn’t it be like the cats in the backcountry meeting a real tiger?”

“Yekki, even the cats in the back mountain are tigers to you. By any chance, don’t act rashly just because you got wind of something. Because then you can leave the world.”

“… … Well, could that be possible?”

“By the way, how many times has it been already?”

“Well, does counting make sense? It will be the same this time, and it will be the same next time too.”

The onlookers were amazed by Tangmun’s awesomeness and thought the same thing would happen this time.

Because Bang So-un and his group were considered to be a sect from some corner of the province.

Even though they may reign like heaven in their own neighborhood, they have watched so tirelessly that they are nothing in front of the main gate of the five major powers, so it was only natural that the next picture was drawn.

but.

Bang Soun was a bit different.

It was definitely different.

“Is this okay?”

Because he immediately took out a golden plaque shining brightly from his chest and held it out.

A person who carries a golden identity card?

There are rare people like that in the world.

Very rare.

Because only people with so much money that they can rot away carry gold badges to show off their wealth.

“Um, that?!”

“Woe, golden plaque?!”

“What, what, it wasn’t a martial artist but a merchant?”

Onlookers also widened their eyes at the unexpected scene.

It was worth it.

Seeing a person with a golden plaque in person was something I thought I would have never done before in my life.

“… … .”

For the first time, a small ray of light appeared in the eyes of the gate guards who had remained as unchanging as a stone.

It seemed like an unexpected situation even for them.

“I’ll take a look first.”

widely.

The security guard took the golden plaque and examined it.

“Geumryong Battlefield Jangju Bang Soun?”

“That’s right.”

When Bang So-un’s identity was revealed, the onlookers were surprised again.

Because he was an unexpected person.

“That’s Geumryongjangju?”

“If you are Jinryongjangju, is he the same person who is famous for arbitrating the three heroines of Hangzhou?”

“Yeah, there was quite a stir these few months.”

“Why is Geumryongjangju here?”

“Yeah, it’s not even a late index.”

“No, I guess the later age index is correct? I heard you are quite young.”

“Even if that were the case, why did Geumryongjangju bother to join the Yongbong Branch?”

“There are probably more than one or two reasons. Joining the Yongbong branch is the same as stepping into the mainstream of martial arts.”

“Oh, well, Hangzhou Wulin itself is far from the mainstream.”

“Besides, it’s basically a business.”

“There must be quite a bit accumulated.”

“Huh, I understand. So, as a Geumryongjangju, joining the Yongbong branch could be a lifelong dream.”

Onlookers are making noise and even making their own inferences.

The inference soon led to predictions.

“But will it work?”

“Ah, it can happen. Everyone has seen how narrow and strict the entrance to the Yongbong branch is.”

“Yes, it’s not something that can be done with money and it’s impossible.”

Onlookers were negative.

It was natural.

Because the Yongbong branch was not a gathering where money was the thing.

On the contrary, if he was excellent at martial arts, I would have thought there was a possibility, but I had never heard of a rumor that Geumryongjangju was exceptional at martial arts.

With that certainty, the onlookers opened their eyes wide and focused on the reaction of the gate guard.

and.

“I see. So?”

The security guard returned a response no different from before.

The face that I had seen at first glance had already returned to an emotionless one.

“What so?”

“What purpose are you here?”

“Heh.”

Bang So-un let out a faint laugh.

“Why would you come to the party gate at this time? Of course, it is to attend the Yongbong branch.”

Bang So-woon also expressed his intention to attend the Yongbong branch.

But that was something everyone here already knew.

The important thing is next.

Onlookers watched with amused eyes as they watched what would happen next.

Of course, the expectations were not wrong.

“Go.”

A cold-hearted spirit of congratulations.

No matter how wealthy Geumryongjangju was, there were no exceptions.

As expected, the gates of the Yongbong Branch were very narrow and strict.

Now, the Lord of the Golden Dragon will have no choice but to retreat in shame.

Everyone thought so.

But.

“Hahahahaha.”

Bang So-yun suddenly burst into laughter.

A reaction no one expected.

The onlookers looked dumbfounded.

Bang So-un, who broke everyone’s expectations, sputtered out with a whimper.

“You have to listen to what people say until the end. You don’t know how to respond well.”

Unlike a smiling face, these words are full of bones.

The faces of the gate guards twitched slightly.

Just from that alone, we could see how much those words had touched their emotions, as they maintained stone-like, emotionless expressions throughout.

By calling you a title that sounds like you are referring to a subordinate?

no.

If you are a Geumryongjangju, you can do that to a general of Tangmun.

Regardless of whether he is a merchant or something other than a shaman, it is clear that he has the status of a mid-level scholar.

The problem was not that, but the disparaging remarks about the lack of response.

That could be considered a disparaging remark about the temple itself’s lack of responsiveness to its guests.

Maybe it was a dangerous thing to say.

The onlookers must have felt it too, as their expressions hardened.

Before I knew it, I closed my mouth and became quiet.

I read his ghost-like behavior.

However, Bang So-un himself.

“Ah, if I was rude, I would like to sincerely apologize. Because he is a money-making businessman, he is very arrogant and often makes unintentional mistakes.”

He continued speaking slyly, pretending not to know anything.

“… … .”

The atmosphere became strange.

No, it would be correct to say that it has become cold.

Nevertheless, the security guards remained as still as stone statues.

That created an even scarier atmosphere.

“I will count to three. If you don’t go back by then, you won’t be able to walk back safely.”

I can’t walk back safely.

These words are much harsher than the previous words of using reasonable force.

I could see that Geumryongjangju clearly touched the emotions of Tang family warriors.

“One, two… … .”

The atmosphere is like a sheet of thin ice about to break.

It was then.

“Listen to what people say until the end.”

Bang So-un took something out of his pocket again and held it out.

“Wouldn’t this be enough qualification?”

“… … .”

The security guard was seriously worried.

Should I count the remaining three or not?

But in the end, I decided to check the piece of paper that Bang So-un held out.

Because many people were watching.

and.

“Hmm… ?!”

For the first time, I widened my agitated eyes.

It had to be that way.

Because before my eyes were letters of recommendation from people I couldn’t trust.

The security guard must have thought he had seen something wrong, so he blinked several times and looked again.

but.

Nothing has changed.

What is in front of you is clearly a letter of recommendation.

Those were letters of recommendation from incredibly great people.

Namgungji, the current head of the Namgung family, and her younger sister, Namgung Hwaran.

Even Jegal Cheong-ha, the favorite daughter of Cheon Gi-ja, the head of the Zhuge family and the mourner of the Murim League.

It is recommended by two of the Odaese… … ?

It is also a direct lineage from the head of the family… … ?

“What the hell is this… … .”

The uninhabited island guard of the party gate was human.

Because I stuttered and let out an embarrassed moan.

Onlookers also noticed that there was something unusual going on.

“What, what’s going on?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“What did Geumryongjangju offer? … ?”

The onlookers are noisy.

The embarrassed security guard bit his lip and came to his senses again.

However, the voice was shaking.

“Do you have any proof that this is real?”

doubt.

I couldn’t help but have doubts.

Because I couldn’t believe that Geumryongjangju had this level of connection with two of the five major families of the mainstream.

It is also a direct rank from the head of the family.

Since they have a lot of money, I don’t know how they would have created an opportunity to meet face to face, but they write a letter of recommendation from the Yongfeng Branch to the head of the battlefield who is not even a martial artist?

This cannot happen.

Just as a dragon and a snake cannot get along together, their status is different.

The pride of the Five Generations in their history and tradition, which have been the pillars of the martial arts faction for a long time, is that great.

There is no need to say more when it comes to the family head and direct lineage.

But the letter of recommendation… … ?

It doesn’t make sense.

“Show me the proof!”

The security guard’s voice gained strength, as if he was convinced.

“Heh, I want.”

Bang So-un had a strange smile on his face.

Until now, he had always had a soft expression, like a businessman.

But suddenly, for the first time, he gave me a cold look.

“Do you dare doubt their letters of recommendation now? You know what that means, right?”

A cool counterattack that returns for the first time.

The expression on the face of the gate guard was greatly shaken.

“Well, that’s… … .”

“Can you take responsibility? Like you?”

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

Cold sweat dripped from the security guard’s forehead.

Anyone who could see that was overwhelming the current situation was Bang So-un.

The eyes of the onlookers widened as if they were about to explode.
