Chapter 297: The Strange Voyage
“Hmph! He just doesn’t want to dirty his own hands.”
Gwae Hang-gi, the third son of the Four Kings’ Gwae Gal-hyeon, muttered to himself as he thought of his eldest brother, Gwae Jeong-gi, who had visited him not long ago.
He had suddenly come to see Gwae Hang-gi not long ago and brought up the matter of Seolpung.
He said that since Gwae Jeong-gi had already secured the support of the Yangju Dong family, gaining the backing of just one or two more families would likely be enough to place him among the top three contenders for the succession.
Hearing this, Gwae Jeong-gi, currently the third-ranked candidate, could not help but feel furious.
He could never catch up to his brothers, but being overtaken by a scoundrel like that was absolutely intolerable.
Then Gwejeonggi stared at the enraged Gwehanggi for a moment before leaving, offering only to lend his men if needed.
He would lend his men, but his attitude made it clear he had no interest whatsoever in where they would be used.
But Gwae Hang-gi couldn’t possibly have been unaware of the intent behind his words.
He muttered, as if spitting out the words.
“He must think he’s the only smart one. Does he really believe I don’t know what he’s up to?”
His older brother, Gwejeonggi, seemed intent on using him to eliminate that bastard Seolpung.
Well, since he wasn’t the only one humiliated back then, it was only natural that he too would target Seolpung.
