Chapter 202

“Grandmotheeeer!”

When I arrived at the inn where Grandmother was staying, Shin Geum was having breakfast alone.

“My child, what brings you here so early in the morning?”

“What brings me here! I came because I know all about how you conspired with the grandfathers to send me away to Chaohu!”

“…Is that so?”

She’s pretending to be nonchalant, but I can see Shin Geum’s eyes trembling!

“Is it really true that Namgung Myeong confessed?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then Grandmother’s false accusations have been completely cleared?”

“The false accusations were cleared long ago. That’s why I’m doing special missions, isn’t it?”

“Anyway, now that we’ve caught the real culprit, it’s completely over!”

“You could say that.”

I spread both arms toward Grandmother, who was answering calmly.

“Come here, Grandmother.”

“…What?”

“I’ll give you a hug.”

“Why?”

“Why? Your one and only granddaughter is congratulating and comforting our grandmother!”

Don’t I know Shin Geum?

Inside her, thoughts of Hwangbo Un and Bang Si-u, who died unjustly, must be coming to mind before the joy of catching the real culprit.

She’s trying not to show it, but I could tell just by looking at Grandmother’s eyes.

Is that all?

Grandmother, who was the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance’s Am Sa-dae, had been hiding in the Demonic Sect for a full 17 years after being framed as a public enemy of the martial arts world.

Probably all those years of life are flashing before her eyes like a panorama.

I can’t dare to guess everything, but right now there must be a whirlwind in Grandmother’s heart.

“If Grandmother won’t come, I’ll go to you!”

I approached Shin Geum, bent my waist, and hugged her tightly with strength in my arms.

“Why are you acting like this from the morning?”

“Grandmother, congratulations. You’ve worked so hard all this time.”

“What hard work.”

“On my way here, I saw the Namgung Family was on fire and in chaos?”

The fire was all out, but there were quite a few broken and collapsed parts here and there. It would take quite some time to repair and cost a lot of money too.

‘I’m dying of satisfaction.’

“And Namgung Cheon is hovering between life and death right now?”

“He’s not one of the Ten Supremes for nothing. He’ll wake up anytime.”

“Of course he should!”

I released my embrace with Grandmother and shouted.

“Dying like this would be too weak. Namgung Cheon must live to see how he ruined the Namgung Family! He should be pointed at and despised by people, spending a miserable old age!”

At my words, Grandmother’s already large eyes opened wide, then curved gently like crescents.

“Grandmother didn’t know my child was this vicious?”

“He’s the one who made our grandmother shed tears of blood! I can’t let such a person be!”

“Yes, I understand, so calm down. You’ll faint at this rate. Drink some water.”

I put so much force into every word that my throat was all hoarse.

I gulped down the water Grandmother poured for me.

“Grandmother, so what happens to the Namgung Family now?”

“The Alliance will decide that through a meeting. Since the Moryong Family and Shin Chang-yang Family are also involved, they’ll need to investigate further. I wonder if there are any survivors in the Shin Chang-yang Family.”

That means there was indeed a war between the two families. While Cheon-yeong was missing.

‘Is Yang Ha-rin okay?’

Yang Ha-rin, who was crying when we last parted, came to mind without me realizing it.

“Grandmother, I’ll go to the inn for a moment.”

I was so worried I couldn’t just sit still.

I hurried to the annex of the inn where I always met Cheon-yeong and called for him.

“Cheon-yeong! If you’re there, come out!”

“Did you call for me, Miss?”

Wow, Cheon-yeong appeared before me as soon as I finished speaking.

All this time, no matter how much I called, he wouldn’t even show his nose!

‘Right, what fault does Cheon-yeong have? He was just following Grandfather’s orders.’

I decided to coolly forget about what happened.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“Please tell me.”

“Please find out what happened to Yang Ha-rin.”

“You mean Yang Ha-rin of the Shin Chang-yang Family?”

“Yes.”

Both from what Grandmother said and my own prediction, if the Moryong Family and Shin Chang-yang Family clashed, it would be an overwhelming victory for the Moryong Family.

No matter how much the Shin Chang-yang Family had grown in power, the Moryong Family was a family that had maintained its position among the Five Great Families for a long time.

If Moryong Gil had made up his mind, the Shin Chang-yang Family couldn’t avoid complete destruction.

“If she’s alive, please bring her here.”

If she had gone out again saying there was Mujeop flower here or something, the possibility was slim, but I added just in case.

Jegal Mun-gi, the Chief Military Strategist of the Martial Arts Alliance, quietly visited Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang early in the morning.

“It seems there was contact from Special Agent Dang.”

Jegal Mun-gi personally visiting the Maeng-ju Palace at this hour meant the matter was that serious.

“We should quickly convene the Alliance Council meeting.”

“Did they find evidence?”

“You should read this first.”

He judged it would be faster to understand by reading Dang Yeong-ryeong’s report rather than his explanation.

Jegal Mun-gi carefully handed over the documents he was holding to Yeon Un-jang.

Report on the Namgung Family Matter.

One , On the day war broke out between the Moryong Family and Shin Chang-yang Family, Sa Do-ryeon launched a surprise attack on the Namgung Family. Their numbers were in the hundreds, with all five leaders of Sa Do-ryeon participating.

“Sa Do-ryeon?”

Dang Yeong-ryeong was a special agent dispatched to investigate the incident at Sword Cry Manor 17 years ago, using the recent bloodbath at the Namgung Family as an excuse.

But what’s this about Sa Do-ryeon?

“Hmm!”

Yeon Un-jang quickly read through the report with furrowed brows.

Two , Confirmed that Makya, which was supposedly in the Namgung Family and Moryong Family, is actually with Tal Baek-sal Wang. Presumed to have been stolen from the Moryong Family.

Three , The reason Sa Do-ryeon attacked the Namgung Family was to obtain Ganjiang and Honcheon-gi in addition to Makya.

Four , It was former Alliance Leader Yang Gun-cheol who informed Sa Do-ryeon that the Moryong Family had Makya and the Namgung Family had Ganjiang. This appears to be revenge for his eldest grandson Yang Ja-seong’s arm being cut off by Moryong Gil.

Five , Namgung Myeong confessed to destroying Sword Cry Manor 17 years ago and stealing Ganjiang and Makya. He said the Moryong Family and Shin Chang-yang Family were involved. This confession was made in front of this special agent, Namgung Cheon, King Dang Cheol-woo, and Sa Do-ryeon’s Ho Jeon, Dong Jeong Yong-wang, and Tal Baek-sal Wang. Whether they can serve as witnesses later is uncertain.

Six , Namgung Cheon was defeated by the combined attack of Sa Do-ryeon’s three leaders Ho Jeon, Dong Jeong Yong-wang, and Tal Baek-sal Wang and is in critical condition. He is currently unconscious but there seems to be hope for recovery.

Seven , Negotiated with Sa Do-ryeon to prevent greater damage to the Namgung Family. This special agent promised to keep Sa Do-ryeon’s surprise attack secret and not wage a righteous war, and in return Sa Do-ryeon gave up Ganjiang.

Eight , At that time, Sa Do-ryeon had already secured Honcheon-gi, so it could not be retrieved.

Nine , The agreement with Sa Do-ryeon must be kept secret. Since the promise with this special agent is unstable, another agreement at the Alliance level is deemed necessary.

Ten , Follow-up measures related to Sword Cry Manor should be implemented quickly.

Author: Special Agent Dang Yeong-ryeong.

Thud.

Yeon Un-jang closed the report.

Sending Dang Yeong-ryeong as a special agent had indeed been a wise decision.

Even he hadn’t anticipated that she would be able to extract a confession from Namgung Myeong.

“Sado-ryeon…”

Yeon Un-jang’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the report.

“Since we gave the special agent full authority, it would be difficult to break our promise.”

“I’m not suggesting we break our promise. If they had obtained the Makya and Honcheon-gi, they would have become even greedier for Gan-jang, so it’s fortunate they withdrew obediently.”

“Not only our Alliance, but Am-wang must have been burdensome for them as well.”

“Indeed, if they had realized Am-wang’s true strength, it would have been difficult for them to act more recklessly.”

“For now, I’ll contact the Haomun leader separately and wrap this up cleanly.”

Working as a military officer for the Alliance, Jegal Mun-gi had met with the Two-Faced Gentleman Sang Gwan-su several times.

“We’ll have the Alliance manage Gan-jang, but what happened with the war between the Moyong Family and Shinchang Yang Clan?”

Yeon Un-jang asked with a deep sigh.

Due to Haomun’s interference, Gaebang’s report had been delayed, and in the end, it was too late to stop the fight between the two families.

“The White Tiger Unit is currently handling the situation.”

Jegal Mun-gi’s expression also darkened.

“The Shinchang Yang Clan suffered damage equivalent to complete annihilation. Among the direct lineage, only one person survived—Yang Ha-rin.”

“Good heavens!”

Yeon Un-jang opened his mouth in great surprise, then immediately pressed his hand to his forehead.

“So obsessed with false reputation and material desires, not knowing that the castle built by his own hands was made of sand…”

Yang Gun-cheol’s death was, in a way, a foreseeable outcome.

“What about the Moyong Family?”

“The Moyong Family also suffered considerable damage, but…”

Jegal Mun-gi trailed off.

That answer was sufficient.

It meant they had suffered manageable losses.

“Chief Military Strategist.”

“Yes, Alliance Leader.”

“Please organize this incident well so it can be presented to the Alliance Military Council. We must use this opportunity to cut out all the rotten parts.”

For the Martial Arts Alliance to once again establish the righteous path.

That was the only thing Yeon Un-jang desired.
