Chapter 142: To Guryongseong
The journey by ship to Hanjung was smooth. More accurately, only the journey itself was smooth; the cabin was hell itself.
Whenever someone took off their shoes, I felt nauseous as if the dried meat I ate three days ago was coming back up.
“Ugh!”
After gagging repeatedly from the testosterone-heavy stench, I realized something.
That smell alone could kill a person.
If I wrote a paper on this, I might even get research funding from the Green Dragon Society.
The war against the stench only ended after two more days.
“Hahahaha! If you hand over everything you have, you’ll be fine…”
It was thanks to the appearance of the swarm of water demons.
That’s when I realized. I wasn’t the only one suffering.
The thirty Black Coral warriors swooped in like great birds and subdued the water demons in an instant.
“Strip everything off. Execute!”
The stench from their clothes was just as bad, but then again, ours weren’t much better.
Thanks to them, the stench level on the ship dropped from ‘hell’ to ‘very bad’.
And so, seven days and nights passed.
“Home!”
We finally arrived in Hanjung, ending our long business trip.

The moment I arrived in Hanjung, I slept straight for two days.
I meant to sleep just one day, but when I woke up, two days had passed.
‘Could someone wake me up?’
An alarm clock is urgently needed.
Anyway, thanks to that, I went to work feeling thoroughly refreshed. There, the Heuksanho members were spread out across the training ground, practicing their martial arts.
