Chapter 284: The Successors of the Four Kings – Part 2
Gripping his teeth, Gwejeonggi watched Seolpung crack his knuckles with a loud pop.
He wasn’t afraid of his opponent.
He too was the son of the Four Kings, Gwae Gal-hyeon, and a warrior tempered by countless battles.
But even so, he found himself reluctant.
The stakes he’d have to wager against Seolpung were simply too high.
‘It’s a game with no gains, only massive losses.’
His opponent, Seolpung, was a win-win situation regardless of the outcome, as long as he didn’t get utterly crushed.
Whether he won against him, fought him to a standstill, or even lost—as long as he showed he was no pushover—this fight would be enough to make his presence known.
No, he had already made his presence known.
A swordsman who had made even the formidable Gui Dou hesitate.
Simply having such a man under his command would make the people of the Four Kings Alliance show immense curiosity toward Seolpung.
On the other hand, Guojingqi himself stood to gain absolutely nothing from fighting the man.
Even if he won, it would only break even; if it ended in a draw or worse, a loss, it would only serve to boost the enemy’s reputation.
Engaging in such a fight was not the style of Gweojeonggi, who had the world’s greatest merchant house as his maternal family.
‘Even if we fought, it should have been outside. All because of that fool, Hanggi…’
Of course, Gweojeonggi and his two younger brothers’ forces couldn’t possibly be limited to just this much now.
