It is a common prank to trick someone with a lie. No wonder there is a special day called April Fool’s Day.

‘You can’t even tell a single lie smoothly.’

It is a statement that cannot be true. In other words, it is a lie. That is why Baek Wol-seon dismissed Hong Jin-seon’s words as nonsense.

“You may not believe it, but it’s true. Lee Ha-yool has manifested Changhae.”

“Really?

At first it was like that. The second time he said the same thing, I couldn’t help but think differently.

It has been over half a century since Baekwolseon and Hong Jinseon first met.

That’s how well we can know each other’s personalities.

A guy with a fiery personality who pretends to be polite on the outside. He is not the type of person to lie about such a serious matter.

“No, that makes sense… ”

Even with that in mind, it wasn’t easy to believe.

As Baek Wol-seon spoke with a frown on his face, Hong Jin-seon took a sip of tea and placed the device he had taken out of his bosom on the table.

“Tell me about this.”

A hologram was soon displayed in the air. Baekwolseon’s mouth opened as he witnessed the evidence with his own two eyes.

“… Is this a manipulation? You put a lot of effort into the prank. ”

“The unit members who were on site saw it with their own eyes, so we can go and ask the ones who returned.”

“No, wait a minute, isn’t that Taesan, not Changhae?”

“The sea and Mount Tai are moving.”

“What the fuck.”

Unable to hold it in any longer, a foul language came out of Gearo Baekwolseon’s mouth. Although it was a vulgar remark, Hong Jinseon nodded as if he understood.

There’s no way you wouldn’t understand. In fact, Hong Jin-seon himself doesn’t believe it.

“What is that… ”

Unlike Hong Jin-seon, who was shocked and remained calm, Baek Wol-seon couldn’t close her mouth.

The confusion was so strong that the teacup in my hand was slowly freezing.

Baek Wol-seon pointed to the hologram with trembling hands.

“That, that… is that possible?”

It is impossible. It is common sense that has already been concluded. However, the reality perceived with the eyes was different.

This rate is reflected on the screen.

When I think about things related to my daughter, my expression automatically becomes pale, and my eyes become furrowed at the sight of her more miserable body than a corpse.

My head was dizzy at the sight of the ocean and Mount Tai unfolding as if they were coexisting as one body.

“Wouldn’t it be better to accept it positively?”

“What the heck… You must have learned some Tai Chi in the meantime.”

Baekwolseon, who had just been struck by the words he had just spoken, frowned. Thanks to that, his hazy consciousness returned to the present.

“Haa… Okay, I guess I should just… believe it. I guess I can just call in the witnesses and interview them.”

Baek Wol-seon took a deep breath and picked up her teacup, then awkwardly lowered her hand after looking at the cold, frozen tea water.

It wasn’t because of Hong Jin-seon’s joke, but because Chang-hae’s coldness forcibly froze the confusion in his consciousness.

“It’s definitely not a light matter. It’s so heavy that I’m afraid to even dare to support it.”

“Your daughter could tell you, but I thought it would be better for me to tell you myself, so I came looking for you.”

“That’s right. I… I have a chance to be a student at Lee Ha-Yul’s… ”

At the same time, Taesan also appeared. I couldn’t believe it even as I said it myself, so I laughed out loud.

‘A catastrophe? A sea? A mountain? All in one body? Does that make sense?’

If it’s Changhae, I can understand. There may be bloodlines that the main family hasn’t been able to identify.

The same goes for Mt. Taesan and Gyeophwa. Just because it is the main family, it is impossible to trace all the bloodlines that have been passed down from the founder.

Of course, I don’t know why the physical characteristics are different, but that’s why the Gyeophwa family raised Lee Ha-ryul as their enemy.

Baekwolseon asked, somehow trying to calm his complexion.

“Anyway, if we have Taesan, shouldn’t we call Lee Ji-ah? We should also call a meeting of the three unions.”

Triad meeting.

A place where the heads of the three major families gather to discuss agenda items.

It is not a regular event. Since it is not a place where everyone can move freely, it is only called when there is a good reason to do so.

“Ahhh… But will that girl come out? She’s been stuck in the house for over ten years saying she has something important to do and she doesn’t think she’ll come out.”

Baekwolseon, who had been holding his chin, shrugged his shoulders.

It is a well-known fact that Taesan’s current owner, Lee Ji-ah, is living in seclusion.

I don’t know the exact reason.

Hong Jin-seon, Baek Wol-seon, and Lee Ji-ah. These three people are superhumans of the same generation.

Born in the same generation, they grew up in close contact with each other, competing with each other in good faith, and became heads of households at similar times.

Although they considered each other to be close friends, at some point, Lee Ji-ah drew the line, saying, “It’s a family matter,” and stayed at her parents’ house, refraining from outside activities.

“It came out during the birthday celebration this year.”

“That’s right. Why did he suddenly go there… Oh, wait a minute. Didn’t you already know that?”

“… Well. I don’t know.”

“Surely we weren’t the only ones who didn’t know… ”

ji…?

Baekwolseon, who had been joking, suddenly let out a sigh.

-My lord, is it possible for a fearful and angry spirit to appear at the same time?

It’s because a question that I had asked my precious daughter Baek A-rin a few months ago came to mind.

-At the same time? Hmm… If the energy of the world helps with all its might, it might be possible? But I wonder if it won’t explode and die the moment it manifests.

-Aha, is that so?

I may have just asked out of curiosity. That’s what I thought at the time.

Although she is sometimes surprisingly smart and talented, isn’t she still young?

But after seeing the situation, I realized that wasn’t the case.

Lee Ha-yool, who had shown his fear, and Baek A-rin, who had been strangely close to Lee Ha-yool…

‘You already knew?’

Baek A-rin already knew this fact.

‘Why, why are you keeping it a secret from me…?’

That fact came back as a psychological shock.

Baek Wol-seon is the head of the Changhae family and Baek A-rin’s father.

Isn’t he someone you can trust and rely on, both publicly and privately?

If there is such a secret, shouldn’t it be revealed?

-It’s really okay. There’s no problem.

“… … ”

“…Why is your expression like that?”

“Oh… This is so shocking. My head is spinning… ”

“Sure.”

Hong Jin-seon nodded in agreement with Baek Wol-seon’s excuse.

It was a dream come true.

***

When the situation behind the scenes was somewhat sorted out.

Lee Ji-yeon returned to the Taesan family’s main home together with the troops under her command.

“Eudadada… Return to your hometown like a dog!”

“I told you not to use vulgar language.”

“Oops, sorry─!”

“No, don’t hit your head…! I didn’t tell you to do that!”

“Oh my gosh, I’m really sorry…!”

“… Sigh.”

Agey let out a sigh at the overtly playful reaction.

It took some time to return to the family.

For security reasons, the gates inside the estate were not connected.

Because of this, I had to arrive at Seoul Gate Terminal and take a specially prepared vehicle to enter Yeongji.

There were some pranks that were played on me by the members of the rock band in the same vehicle.

At first, he was awkward, watching her expression, but later on, he became used to it and started joking around.

“Deputy Lee Da-hee is handling the follow-up. I will report to the Lord.”

“Okay, I understand.”

.

.

.

“Junior… I have confirmed that Lee Ha-yool has expressed Taesan.”

The head family of the Taesan family.

Lee Ji-yeon, who returned with her troops, immediately went to see Lee Ji-ah and reported.

Confirming the existence of Taesan that Lee Ha-yool has. Carrying out the instructions that Lee Ji-ah gave after last summer vacation.

“Also confirmed that the creation was expressed.”

There were also results beyond the instructions. How did Lee Ha-yool find out that Taesan and even Changhae had appeared?

‘It’s impossible to cut it on the inside.’

This is something that most of the members of the unit have already witnessed with their own eyes.

It is impossible for the successor, Lee Ji-yeon, to hide that fact from the current owner, Lee Ji-ah.

‘… What will happen… ‘

Lee Ji-yeon maintained a blank expression on the outside, but was deeply troubled on the inside.

Although Lee Ji-yeon is the successor to the Taesan family, the one leading the family right now is the current head of the household, Lee Ji-ah.

Lee Ji-yeon couldn’t predict how she would accept Lee Ha-yool’s existence or what her blunt mother would think.

“Yeah, good job.”

“… Yes.”

As expected, Lee Ji-ah just nodded her head indifferently.

From past experience, it has been common to issue a ban on the guests along with appropriate punishment.

“A meeting will be held after hearing the same report from the cowardly and cunning leaders.”

But this time, it continued. Jiyeon, who was preparing to turn around, opened her eyes slightly wide.

“The rate, the parties, and the owners will gather there and discuss. However, they cannot hold the meeting in a hurry. There are many preparations needed for the meeting.”

“Yes.”

“Also, since a special labyrinth has been built in the territory, it is not easy to leave the seat of the Lord of the Sea empty. The Lord of the Fearful is also not in a relaxed situation as he is chasing after the Coward.”

Lee Ji-ah opened her mouth at length as if she was explaining something for the first time in a while.

Lee Ji-yeon listened to Lee Ji-ah’s explanation, surprised at it.

“No matter how important the matter is, the situation is not appropriate to hold a meeting in a hurry. Please be aware that it will take some time until the meeting is held.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After saying that, Lee Ji-ah turned her head and stared out the window. Her green eyes were staring at something that no one could tell.

“Until that meeting, I plan to stay in Samak.”

“Are you talking about Samak?”

Lee Ji-yeon opened her eyes wide.

There are many special management areas in Taesan Mountain.

There are elixirs that must be handled with care, monsters that are raised in strict environments, and rare environments and dungeons.

Among these, the living and dead veins are the most important areas to manage.

Saengmaek is a place where spiritual energy has descended. It is a good place to practice the manipulation of the land and energy of Mt. Taesan.

On the other hand, Samak is a region full of fraud.

It is a dangerous place where even the most skilled superhumans would be shocked if they entered the area without permission, as there are even spirits that are born and die at will.

“While I am staying in Samak, you will perform the role of the head of the household as my successor.”

“Yes… Yes, yes?”

Jiyeon Lee, who was quite surprised by the words that she was living in Samak, blinked at the next words.

.

.

.

The silence in the Lord’s office.

Lee Ji-ah stared at one spot.

It was the place where Lee Ji-yeon was causing a fuss, asking why the head of the household was suddenly here.

-Junior… I have confirmed that Lee Ha-yool has manifested Taesan.

– Also confirmed that the creation was manifested

What Lee Ji-yeon reported. Also, the instructions she gave to find out for sure.

Lee Ji-ah nodded as she recalled him one by one.

This is something I already knew.

Lee Ji-ah caressed her eyes and recalled the snake’s perspective that had once appeared in her vision.

Two-headed dragon.

A third-tier alpha monster that was directly subdued by the three generations of the family, including her, several decades ago.

I smashed him to pieces so much that he couldn’t be used as a commander, but he eventually rose up as a commander.

But fortunately, the worst that was feared did not happen.

Before the two-headed dragon could run wild, it was thanks to Lee Ha-yool who personally killed it.

More specifically, to make it more impossible for it to be abused.

‘… … .’

The blow that ended that twin-headed dragon.

The sight of the three-colored energy surging through remains particularly vivid in my mind.
