It was only about 30 minutes after Dangsoso left the hotel room, saying that he would finish a few things while he was waiting, that I received a strange invitation calling me somewhere.

And the moment I saw the invitation that was delivered to me, there was only one thought that came to my mind.

-I’ll come, but I came.

I had no choice but to put everything aside and think about that first because I had expected it to some extent.

So… this situation right now.

Is that why?

Despite the sudden invitation, I wasn’t that embarrassed or anything.

I just find this situation amazing.

Should I say that it felt like I was in a weekend drama that daycare teachers enjoyed watching?

‘by the way···.’

It seems that the party is clearly holding this city tightly.

Seeing guests coming in like this even though Tang Soso has been gone from the hotel for a while means that there are eyes and ears working for the Tang family everywhere.

Perhaps… I don’t know, but from the moment we landed at the airport, my every move was flowing in almost by the minute.

When I thought that maybe that was the case, I got a little chilled.

This was especially true because I had not felt any signs of special attention being paid to this area while I was on my way here.

Well, it was something I had to endure to some extent, so I literally got chills for a moment.

Okay, so I received an invitation, but what should I do now?

Are you just going to refuse?

To be honest, that was the first thing that came to my mind, but I quickly shook my head.

It would be easier for me if I declined the other person’s invitation, but it wasn’t the best.

What was the reason for sending someone to me like this as soon as Dang Soso had left the hotel in the first place?

It probably means that he wants to talk to me alone without her around.

I don’t know if the host will be Tang Soso’s father, the chairman of Sichuan Group, or one of the three brothers she mentioned, but that must be the purpose.

But you turn down the invitation without even listening to what is being said?

This was an act of complete disregard for the other person’s respect.

And as everyone knows, those who once belonged to a country called China tended to place great importance on face.

To add a little bit of exaggeration, there are even people who value their reputation more than their lives… That kind of response will only arouse the anger of the other person.

“If you don’t mind, could I tell you the name of the person who invited me?”

It was out of concern that I asked that type of question to a man who looked like he was working in the secretary’s office of some group.

If the person who invited me to an unknown place was one of Tang Xiaoxiao’s three older brothers, I would have no choice but to turn down the offer since they were destined to become enemies anyway, but if it was Tang Xiaoxiao’s father who invited me, I would have to run on all fours immediately.

So, to make sure, I took a quick stab at it, but the man who was acting as a messenger and guide to the meeting place didn’t even move.

“You will find out naturally when you arrive.”

I just repeat those words over and over again.

What can you do if the other person is not willing to reveal his identity?

It’s a bit uncomfortable, but I have no choice but to jump in and find out for myself.

“···I understand. Please guide me.”

Like that… I left the hotel room, following the man who nodded slightly as if I knew it would happen.

Then, we got into a luxurious-looking vehicle waiting in the hotel’s underground parking lot and headed somewhere.

I don’t know how many skyscrapers I passed so high in the sky while riding in such a smooth but fast-moving car, but the car, which was moving non-stop, stopped in front of one building.

“You can get off.”

At almost the same time, I heard the words and obediently got out of the car and was guided to a bar located in the basement of the building.

I don’t know if it was because it was still too early to drink, or if someone had rented out the entire bar for the day, but the inside of the bar, which had a fairly old-fashioned feel, was quiet without a single customer.

As I walked through the interior of the bar, which had such a quiet atmosphere, what I came across was… an elderly bartender with a great mustache, manning the counter alone, and a middle-aged man standing in front of him, silently shaking a glass in his hand.

Just by looking at him, he looks like he’s about the age of Dan Soso’s father.

The moment I saw the appearance of such a middle-aged man, I thought to myself.

It’s a good thing I didn’t refuse the invitation.

While I was thinking this to myself, the middle-aged man’s eyes turned towards me, as if he had finally recognized my presence on the other side.

“···You’re here.”

No, he must have already realized my existence.

Nevertheless, pretending to know things like that now is probably to seize the initiative.

So, what would be a good way to start out?

Boldly?

Or… would it be better to show a humble and polite side to get points?

I wanted to put these worries aside and just start with the hypnosis beam, but considering the lessons I learned during Olga, I decided to refrain from making hasty moves like that in the future, such as starting with hypnosis.

Of course, since the other person was a man and not a woman, the power of hypnosis would be applied more powerfully… but there was no guarantee that hypnosis would be successful.

This was even more inevitable in the case of the man standing in front of me right now, as he was the head of a large group called Sacheon Group, a group with power and scale comparable to that of a nation.

But wouldn’t a person with that status have done anything to prepare for a mental attack?

This is a world where not only wizards, but also super-powered people called espers exist just fine?

Of course, he would have prepared some defenses, and what if that could block the power of hypnosis even for a moment?

After that, it will be that man’s turn.

When things go that way, will I be able to endure it?

It was difficult to be sure, and if it was difficult to be sure, it was the right decision not to do it.

“I heard you were looking for me.”

The relatively polite tone that came out of my mouth could be said to be the result of such judgment.

“Sit down first. It’s been a while since I looked up at someone like this, so my neck hurts a bit.”

Isn’t it for no reason that he is a being who can control millions of people with a single wave?

Even though I wasn’t particularly energetic, a considerable amount of pressure was pressing down on my shoulders.

The strange sense of intimidation radiating from the other person was intimidating, but since it was a relationship between a future son-in-law and a father-in-law, there was no such feeling.

Anyway, why on earth did I ask to see him?

Are you going to yell at me and ask how dare you think of creeping into my house?

Or… are you going to tell me to eat this and leave and then stab me with an envelope of money?

I don’t know which of the two is closer to the correct answer, but it would have been the moment when I obediently went to an empty seat and sat down with my butt pressed against it.

“Now that I think about it, my introduction was late.”

Did they both think that they had to do what they had to do even though they already knew everything about the other person’s identity?

Looking at the fact that he took the time to introduce himself, Dangsoso’s father seemed to have a very stoic personality.

Needless to say, thanks to this, I unconsciously gained a little more strength in my back.

It must have been a fleeting moment, with my back straight and just waiting for the words to come out of the other person’s mouth.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Mo Yong-cheol, the head of the Moyong family.”

“E…?”

Moyong… iron?

It’s not Tangcheol…?

What, this man… wasn’t Dan Soso’s father?!

The history of the Moyong family is long.

And throughout its long history, the Moyong family has always suffered from hardships.

This was due to the geopolitical location of the land they had ruled for generations.

Like the Nangong of Anhui, the Feng family of Hebei, and the Tang family of Sichuan, each of the five generations and the ten generations had its own ruler.

And it is not much different from the Moyong family, so they have used the land called Liaoning as their home for generations.

The problem was people’s perception of this land called Liaoning.

Just as Koreans regard Seoul as the best, the people of the old Central Plains thought that Luoyang and Changan were the center of the world, and Liaoning, which was far from the center of the world, was treated as a periphery.

If you think about it that way, isn’t Sacheon-do, where Dangga is located, a border area?

The case is a bit different in Sacheon.

That’s because there was a capital in Sichuan, and Chengdu was once the capital of the Shu dynasty founded by the three brothers Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, so it is a land with the ‘foundation’.

In comparison, the land of Liaoning, where Yannarador was at a career high, was just a land full of barbarians with no roots.

ㅡHello? What kind of town is Liaoning? Ah, where those talkative people live?

With a bit of exaggeration, it would be amazing to say that this is the general perception of the people of Central Plains about the land called Liaoning.

As a result, no matter how much the Moyong family ruled the entire Liaoning land, no one recognized them as a ‘nationwide district.’

And it was the same even when the existence of martial arts and martial arts people was temporarily pushed to the backstage.

In the midst of suffering from oppression for generations, a nuclear war broke out.

Because of this, the whole of China was on fire with the grace of the Earth’s leader… As a result, the Mo Yong family, who had been silently enduring the hardships, suddenly thought, ‘What, if this happens, it’s a victory for me who survived?’ Depending on the meta, he stood tall as the best midfielder.

Namgung? Zhuge? Tanga?

What does that mean?

You guys are ‘beggars’ without a home, right?

However, such glory did not last long.

When they were finally free from the trap and struggling with the mulberry they had tasted for the first time in their lives, someone who had lost both his home and land and all he had was his body was struggling for his life.

And as a result of that struggle, the Tang family survivors, who were once just refugees, succeeded in building a huge and magnificent fortress called Sichuan Group.

Seeing that, Mo Yong-se, who was belatedly regretting it, tried to do something about it… but at that time, the size of the Tang family had already grown to the point where it was difficult to touch it carelessly.

Because of this, the Moyong family not only lost their title as the best family in the Jungwon region, but even their control of the land they had ruled for generations was threatened.

‘However, that only happens until today.’

What if he succeeds in persuading the young guy in front of him to plant a bomb inside the party?

The Mo Yong family will once again stand tall as the ruler of Liaoning land.

How much effort have you put in for this moment?

So I had to succeed.

certainly.
