Chapter 203
Ji Cheon-Myeong struggled to grasp the scene unfolding before him.
The Thunder Emperor?No—it can’t be. Why would the United States' top National Treasure be in Korea...
The Thunder Emperor was a living legend; alone, he wielded enough power to threaten all of South Korea, so his appearance here, in their small country, was like a deity arriving in the mortal world—why would he?

Ji Cheon-Myeong concentrated mana in his eyes and closely observed the massive man standing among the spectators.
The man was at least two meters tall and as broad as a bear. Ferocious blue eyes flashed under a mane of rough, white hair. And peeking from the neckline of his loose-buttoned shirt...
