Chapter 79

‘Maryeonghwaga…’

Yeo Gyeong-o barely managed to contain the rage burning deep in his chest.

As time passes, human emotions tend to grow dull.

To prevent his desire for revenge from fading, he reminded himself daily of the events from the day he lost his family.

He was ten years old at the time.

He had been playing hide-and-seek with his siblings and had fallen asleep while hiding in the underground warehouse.

When he woke up, sharp screams were echoing from outside the door.

Through the crack in the warehouse door, he could see a dark red pool of blood.

In the wake of those clad in black blood-stained robes, only death remained.

Watching his older brother’s back as he wailed while holding their lifeless younger sister, he couldn’t bring himself to step outside.

Everyone except him died there.

When he finally fainted and came to, his family members were already dead, having lost parts of their bodies. His brother’s corpse couldn’t even be found.

He remembered that the robes of those clad in black blood-stained garments had distinctive patterns embroidered on their collars.

A pattern that seemed like a modified version of the character (zhu).

This was the only clue about those who had brutally killed his family.

He was fortunate to survive thanks to the Heavenly Tiger Alliance warriors who were patrolling near Cheonsan.

He could have chosen to live a different life if he wanted, but he chose revenge for his family.

That’s why he became Chung-rin, a spy sent from Sangteon-dang to Mageyo.

He had to enter Cheonsan if only to find out what that pattern meant.

He underwent harsh training in Mageyo and rose to the position of leader of Chomundan.

Through long investigation, he speculated that the pattern was likely connected to Maryeonghwaga’s assassin group.

However, he couldn’t find any clues.

Maryeonghwaga had thoroughly controlled information until now, trusted no one around them, and erased all traces.

Despite constantly gathering information, Yeo Gyeong-o couldn’t get his hands on anything.

The situation of reaching into empty air continued for a long time. During that time, he lived holding onto his heart that was cracked like a broken sculpture.

‘Never forget why you’re here.’

Recalling his own cowardice for being unable to move on the day his family died, he endured by steeling his heart for revenge each time.

‘During all that long time, speculation was all I had…’

Chung-rin’s letter gave him hope.

Hope arose that he might finally be able to find a definitive clue.

Yeo Gyeong-o was about to hastily write a letter when he paused. A nearly burned message caught his eye.

It was the message that had contained information about Chung-rin’s disciple Sobaek from some time ago.

Though it was information unrelated to the Maryeonghwaga incident, it was certainly meaningful content for Chung-rin.

He fell into brief contemplation.

‘Should I inform Chung-rin about this fact?’

Chung-rin’s affection for Chung-rin was deep enough that she would carry out revenge herself.

If she learned that Chung-rin’s disciple Sobaek might still be alive, there was a high possibility she would prioritize that matter and act on it.

If so, now was not the time.

He decided to inform her about Sobaek only after he became more certain about it.
