Chapter 154 Succession
Namgung-woo’s unclear origins were secondary.
Namgung Baek regarded Namgung-woo not as an unknown impostor of the Namgung Clan, but as the true Inheritor and current Clan Head of the Namgung Clan. Therefore, he spoke to the much younger man with respect, maintaining the proper decorum befitting their respective positions as Elder and Clan Head.
“Elder.”
“Yes, Clan Head.”
Namgung Baek now fully acknowledged Namgung-woo’s position with the title of Clan Head. Namgung-woo did not refuse him.
“Do you know of any other Namgung survivors?”
Namgung Sol, born after the Annihilation.
Namgung Ju, who fortunately managed to escape.
Namgung Baek, who had hidden alone, following the Clan Head’s Order as a Junior Historian Elder.
When there had been none, even this number was more than expected, but now, perhaps it was time to be a little more ambitious.
However, contrary to Namgung-woo’s faint hope, Namgung Baek shook his head.
“I am sorry to say, but I do not know well either. I was hiding in a safe house outside Nanzhili… but I am ashamed to admit that I suspected there was a Traitor within, so I moved to a deeper hiding place.”
Traitor. When that word was mentioned by Namgung Baek, one person could no longer keep still. Namgung Sol gripped her trembling heart and raised her hand. It was something she had to say. Just because Namgung-woo had glossed over it, it wasn’t a past that could be completely swept away.
“Excuse me….”
As all eyes turned to her, Namgung Sol felt even more nervous as she spoke.
