Chapter 61: The Guest and the Bastard 2
Baek Moo-jin, carrying the silver box, stopped by the Enforcement Bureau on his way out and requested they deliver the large sum he received from the leader to the Baek family of Seolsan. The Executive Office showed Baek Moo-jin great favor. Even without specific instructions from him, they assured him the funds would be delivered safely. Moreover, everyone from the Chief to the members already consistently used the title ‘Lord Baek’. Naturally, seniors who knew Baek Moo-jin addressed him as Lord Baek, while those unfamiliar with him all used the honorific ‘Lord Baek’.
Baek Moo-jin could only shake his head and leave the Execution Hall.
‘…That was quick.’
Since the Executive Hall relayed the leader’s orders to other organizations, they seemed to be the first to know.
In any case, Baek Moo-jin still had the thousands of nyang in banknotes he’d brought back after cutting down Hong Rak-jang’s men, so there was no reason for him to personally guard the silver box.
Baek Moo-jin thought for a moment, recalling Seol-san.
‘Everyone’s going to be shocked.’
Baek Moo-jin’s promise to earn money before leaving Seolsan Baekga had come true. And a huge amount, at that, in a very short time.
Returning to his lodgings, Baek Moo-jin murmured the most memorable word from what Gu Yang-hu had said.
“Sega…”
It wasn’t something he could do immediately.
For one thing, Baek Moo-jin wasn’t even married yet, and he lacked the ‘guests’ who were the core members of a true clan. Therefore, transforming the Seolsan Baek Clan into a true clan would inevitably take a considerable amount of time.
