Chapter: 2026
�Lee Geumhan of the Frenzied Warrior Sect. He�s the son of the Sword King Lee Cheong, and he stands as Jang Mugeuk�s rival. If we can get him to join the Anti-Golden Heaven Society,� we can gain power in no time.�
�He must be an exceptional individual.��
�He is the most feared figure by Jang Mugeuk in the entire world of Jianghu. They have been at odds since childhood. So, he would readily take on the role of the leader of the Anti-Golden Heaven Society.�
�That would be good if it works out.�
Pyo-wol replied as if it was someone else�s business.
Namgung Wol realized that Pyo-wol had no interest in the affairs of the Anti-Golden Heaven Society.
For Pyo-wol, power struggles within Jianghu like the Golden Heaven Society and the Anti-Golden Heaven Society were of no interest to him. His attention was solely focused on the Kowloon Assassin Guild.
Namgung Wol originally intended to persuade Pyo-wol to join the Anti-Golden Heaven Society. However, he immediately dropped the thought due to Pyo-wol�s indifferent expression and tone.
It was a little disappointing, but he knew that Pyo-wol wasn�t someone who would change his mind easily, so Namgung Wol gave up.
Yeom Hee-soo�s thoughts were similar to Namgung Wol�s.
�The moment we let him into the Anti-Golden Heaven Society, we will lose our dominance.�
She, too, was an ambitious martial artist.
She didn�t want to share or have her power taken away by someone else.

�So you�re saying that about ten people stayed here ten days ago?�
�That�s correct.�
The innkeeper of Cheolyang Inn cautiously replied to the stranger�s question.
Cheolyang Inn was a very old inn.
It used to be a bustling area, but now it was situated in a dilapidated neighborhood that had turned into a slum.
The building was extremely old, worn-out, and dirty, making it an inn that ordinary customers didn�t frequent.
It became a lodging place for people in the back alleys, such as beggars, criminals, or those who couldn�t freely show their faces.
The man asked again,
�Do you know where the ten guests came from?�
�How would I know such things? All we ask is that they pay for their stay. It�s none of our business to inquire about their backgrounds or purposes.�
�Are you sure? If you�re hiding something intentionally, I won�t let it go.�
�Oh my! What do I have to gain from hiding anything?�
From the innkeeper�s demeanor, the man decided there was nothing more to find out. However, knowing that ten people had stayed here served as a starting point for tracking.
�I should go back to the headquarters and report.�
The man was none other than a person working for the Imperial Yuan Merchant Group.
This morning, the members of the Imperial Yuan Merchant Group received a specific order. JrNovels.com
