"The rumors started circulating through the merchants of the Golden Dragon Trading Company," Myeong Il'oh remarked, his face flushed with excitement at meeting the person who had recently stirred up the entire city.
"The Golden Dragon Trading Company? What kind of rumors did they spread to cause such a commotion?" Baek Suryong asked, puzzled. His ears were still ringing from the cheering crowd that had greeted them so enthusiastically, it felt like the city had exploded.
Even though he was allegedly at the center of the rumors, he hadn't heard any of them and had no idea why their group had been mobbed by the crowds in the city center. If Myeong Il'oh hadn't come out to meet them, they might still be trapped in the sea of people.
"People are saying that you, Hyung-nim, led the students to attack the Valley of Evil, beheaded the Bloody Ripper with a single strike, and then arrested all the villains!" Myeong Il'oh explained, his eyes sparkling.
The corners of Baek Suryong's mouth twitched awkwardly. "What do you mean, a single strike? That's impossible, it's not like I'm one of the Ten Supremes."
Myeong Il'oh gazed at Baek Suryong with respect, envy, and a proud smile as if it was his own achievement. "Well, regardless, you did kill him, didn't you? At first, everyone thought it was just nonsense… until the Rogues' Guild showed up and verified the rumors."
"The Rogues' Guild?" Baek Suryong exclaimed.
Myeong Il'oh nodded. "Yes. The Rogues' Guild revealed that the Scarlet Tiger Boss who kidnapped Wiji Cheon was actually the White-Haired Demon, one of the murim's most wanted criminals, and that he used a hostage to flee after losing to you, Hyung-nim."
