Chapter 277
He disappeared?
Jae-Hyeok had been aware of Geum Tae-Byeok’s presence even before he’d accidentally revealed his killing intent. After all, Jae-Hyeok hadn’t forgotten his son Geum Tae-Shin’s mana signature, and Geum Tae-Byeok’s mana was starkly similar.
As for how Jae-Hyeok sensed Geum Tae-Byeok, that was simple. After transcending and killing Qilin, Jae-Hyeok’s Insight had reached a new realm. The differences in everyone’s auras stuck out as surely as the colors of a rainbow. Even in a crowd of a hundred thousand, Geum Tae-Byeok's aura couldn’t escape Jae-Hyeok.
The Geum family.
The Geums were the family behind the Sun Guild, one of Korea’s top five guilds. The guild’s success had especially soared in Geum Tae-Byeok’s era, thanks to his acquiring the title of count. Since then, Geum Tae-Shin had taken on his father’s legacy, inheriting the position of guildmaster.
Among the modern noble houses, their influence was one of the strongest in Korea. However, Jae-Hyeok hadn’t been worried until now.
Does he have more strength than I thought?
It hadn’t taken much effort to kill Geum Tae-Shin after returning from Reinhardt. Since the son was easy, Jae-Hyeok had thought the father’s tricks wouldn’t be too far removed. But...
Jae-Hyeok scanned the crowd once more and frowned.
Moments ago, Jae-Hyeok could’ve picked out Geum Tae-Byeok’s aura as easily as picking out a koi among goldfish. Yet now, Geum Tae-Byeok’s aura had vanished completely.
“Thank you for accepting the position of National Treasure, Thunder God.”
“It’s my honor.”
