Chapter 341 – “I Will Refuse” (1)

The Eunryeong Council was an organization with multiple heads of revenge. Different factions were gathered around a leader called the Yeongju, and the superiority of those factions was naturally divided into the power of their subordinates and the martial arts of the Yeongju.

And because Horyeong was overwhelming other Yeongjus in both of those aspects, he was playing the role of a leader among them.

“I just can’t get used to this.”

But as Horyeong stood before him, Il-gwi couldn’t help but wonder if the woman’s moans he heard in front of his lord, just as Hwang Do-myeong had said before, were really genuine.

If he was a secret leader who controlled the underworld, he should quietly sharpen his sword until he achieved his goal, rather than being a benefactor. It was an incomprehensible behavior, as it didn’t seem like he was going to strangle the neck of the woman he had caught.

“You may come in.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Il-gwi received permission from the guard, who was guarding the entrance like a rock, and walked slowly past a woman of considerable beauty.

And as he went further, he saw Horyeong in light clothing, polishing his sword.

It was clear that he had just been holding the woman a moment ago, but it didn’t look good for him to pretend to be polishing his sword so brazenly, but he had no right to express such an intention in the first place.

“So, what brings you to me?”

“Well, I thought I might have heard some false news…”

“False news?”

It was not easy to meet Horyeong alone in the first place, so Il-gwi did not miss the opportunity to meet him face to face and asked what he was curious about.

“I heard that… Kang Yoon is still alive. And he’s perfectly fine…”

“Well, if I didn’t kill him, he wouldn’t be dead if there wasn’t anything else, would he?”

“What?!”

Il-gwi was astonished.

Horyeong knew that he was a master who could be compared to the Samjon, so he thought that even if Pang Yeon-hwa blocked him, he thought that Kang Yoon’s death was a foregone conclusion.

But these days, rumors are circulating about Kang Ho.
