Chapter 124: Chunbong Divine Art (2)
Jibaek explained the Murim Alliance’s position to Seojun.
In short, it boiled down to this:
The Alliance didn’t hold much authority during peacetime, but when war broke out, that changed completely.
Soon, they’d be making a major public announcement, and after that, the Alliance would wield considerably more authority. Failures similar to last time, like delayed reinforcements and all, wouldn’t happen again.
Jibaek recited this like he was reading from a script. To Seojun, he didn’t seem particularly attached to the Alliance.
Being in a similar situation himself, Seojun asked casually.
“So what’s the actual compensation?”
“The Alliance is willing to grant whatever you request, within reason.”
“My request, huh...”
That was tricky.
A martial artist might ask for spirit pills, secret techniques, or subordinates... But Seojun didn’t need any of that.
