Chapter 107
The elders were already unsettled by the fact that an emergency Council of Elders had been convened in secret.
And since the request had come from Elder Jo—who had seldom involved himself in internal affairs since his retreat—it was presumed to be a matter of great importance.
But for him to say that the very fate of the Hao Clan was at stake...
Under the focused gaze of the elders, Jo Cheon-yang continued.
“First, I will reveal the truth behind the death of the previous Clan Leader.”
Elder No Il-gyeom of the Fourth Seat looked astonished as he asked,
“Elder Jo, did the previous Clan Leader not die of natural causes?”
Jo Cheon-yang summoned Gwaa to step forward beside him.
“You all know who this child is.”
“Gwaa? Isn’t she the son of the former Clan Leader?”
“She disappeared on the day of the funeral, and we wondered what had happened—so it was Elder Jo who had taken her in?”
“That is correct.”
