Chapter 268: The Guest
They say life is full of unexpected twists and turns.
Dark clouds gathered over me just as I was enjoying a trip filled with boundless happiness.
“…So, you came all the way here at the crack of dawn just to ask about that?”
“What do you mean ‘just’? The lives of a million Honam citizens are at stake. What could be more important than this?”
“No, I understand that, but…”
It was Baek Il-hak, the military strategist from the recent Seosaeng and Agyang meetings, who had come seeking advice as soon as the sun rose.
I wanted to send him away immediately, but…
‘Come talk to me anytime. I can’t shed blood with you since I have a large family to support, but I can lend you my brain.’
Having already made that promise, it was awkward to get angry.
As a member of the martial arts elite, he had to keep his word.
“I understand. From now on, come after lunch. I need my sleep too, don’t I?”
“Ah… I apologize. I was in such a hurry…”
In the end, he reached a compromise with Baek Il-hwa by adjusting the visiting hours.
The problem was.
“……”
He really did come right after lunch every single day.
Thanks to that, I had no choice but to listen to Baek Ilhak’s plans for nearly an hour each day.
“So, as for the method to unite the martial arts world of Honam… The way to secure funds… We could collect membership fees… The location of headquarters… I was thinking of doing it this way. What do you think?”
