Chapter: 1769
The flames, soaring high into the sky, engulfed the Sea Dragon Sect with fierce momentum.
�What�s going on?�
Jang Hamun, the head of the Sea Dragon Sect, looked around the devastated premises with a desolate expression.
The pavilion, which had been perfectly intact just a moment ago, was now engulfed in a tremendous blaze. This was a separate pavilion where they stored gold, so they had always taken extra precautions to keet flammable objects away.�
The fact that such a place still manage to be engulfed in such a massive fire was beyond comprehension.
�Quick! Extinguish the fire! Hurry!�
Jang Hamun shouted at the top of his lungs.
His attendants and workers, who finally come to their senses, hurriedly grabbed buckets and fetched water.
�Move faster!�
�We have to put it out before it spreads any further!�
They attempted to extinguish the fire with water from the well, but it was in vain. As time passed, the flames grew even fiercer. If they continued like this, the entire Sea Dragon Sect would be consumed by the fire.
�Who on earth would do such a thing?�
Jang Hamun didn�t believe that the fire was caused by accident. It was obvious that someone had deliberately set the pavilion on fire.
�But for what?�
There were countless people who held grudges against the Sea Dragon Sect.�
It was impossible to accumulate this much wealth and not cause harm to others. However, among those who had a grudge against their sect, it was hard to think of anyone who would be so bold.
�If not them��
Suddenly, his thoughts drifted to his personal warehouse.
For the past few days, the only notable item that had attracted attention in the Sea Dragon Sect was the dagger brought by Lee Seong-hak and that man.
Jang Hamun urgently called out to his attendant, Woo Gunchang.
�Attendant!�
�Yes, my lord.�
Woo Gunchang, who was leading the subordinates in suppressing the fire, rushed over hastily.
�Gather our troops right now and follow me.�
�Pardon?�
�We need to go to that man right away. Whoever started the fire must be after the goods in the warehouse.�
�Understood.�
Woo Gunchang�s expression hardened as he realized the situation.
He quickly gathered the sect�s elite members and followed behind Jang Hamun.�
It didn�t take long for Jang Hamun and his subordinates to arrive in front of the warehouse. JrNovels.com
