Chapter 41

To lose to someone like that?
Only fools would fall so easily.
The man in the black hat—U Dohae, Chief Enforcer of Yangnyeong—was a master of the Three Fire Convergence Realm. He wasn’t the kind of person who should have been stationed in a backwater like this in the first place.

“Killing him would make things messy. I’d rather not go that far... so how about this instead?”
“What do you mean, sir?”

If we can end this madness by putting a leash on him, the Everlasting Snow Palace won’t dare ask us to clean up for free. And the higher-ups will owe us. Probably even toss in a reward... Yeah. That feels right.”
“What about the Hanbing Sect?”
“The Hanbing Sect, huh... That Chosehwi guy, is he still with the government?”
“No. He’s already returned to the Hanbing Sect.”
