Chapter 161: The King of Assassins
“I’ll be back, Father.”
Less than a year after leaving home to go to the front lines, I once again set out for the front lines.
Though little time had passed, so much had changed since then.
“Have a safe journey, Jin-ah.”
“Young Master, please take care of yourself!”
“Young Master, please do not overexert yourself. You must never forget that the future of the Seonwoo family rests upon you.”
“Young Master…”
“Young Master So….”
The number of people who came out to see me off was overwhelmingly different.
Not only the elders and senior masters, but even ordinary warriors had gathered in droves to watch me depart.
Back then, it was just my father and Yeonha.
What’s more, they were all urging me to take care of myself with worried expressions from all around.
The voices coming from all directions were so loud my ears were practically ringing.
I forced an awkward smile and responded to their farewells as sincerely as I could manage.
This was the first time in two lifetimes I’d received such fervent support, and my heart should have been soaring. Yet now, I felt nothing but a foggy confusion.
‘My head is spinning. I want to get going already.’
At any rate, no matter how coldly I reflected on it, I couldn’t deny that this return had been a resounding success.
I reestablished the Seonwoo Clan, drove out the Blood Demon Sect forces from Guizhou Fortress, and gained the peerless master, the Chaos Witch So Nan-so, as an ally.
