Chapter 279
On this day, the country had bowed to Jae-Hyeok, shedding its regal pretense and humbling itself for his service. To some extent, it was only natural for Jae-Hyeok to be proud; he’d negotiated with a country. And the country had listened with reason: he was the world’s youngest National Treasure, after all.
But this?
To stroll around my Geum family’s estate, alone, unannounced, and without a care in the world... such arrogance.

Geum Tae-Byeok... is he actually dangerous?
The style and location of the Geum Estate said much about the man.
For one, the walls enclosing the estate were so tall and thick as to be called ramparts. And if that weren’t enough, the back of the property abutted a mountain chain. It was a design that leveraged every tactical advantage possible.
Yet instead of worry, this had caused Jae-Hyeok to relax.
The rules that transcendents played by were not those of ordinary soldiers.
If Geum Tae-Byeok was secretly at the level of a National Treasure, then why would he concern himself with trivial things like mountains and tall walls?
Jae-Hyeok reflected on his impending departure from Korea and shrugged.
Well, he can’t always be around. Maybe he designed it with his family's safety in mind.
