Chapter 109
The King Reveals His True Identity
“Jeon Birang.”
When Dan Woo-sung called her name, Jeon Bi-rang, who had changed into clothes provided by the Myeongryongdang members, nodded.
“Speak.”
Dan Woosung said.
“Since you fled this way, the entire Jipyameng will mobilize.”
Jeon Bi-rang nodded.
“Indeed.”
Dan Woosung pointed to the paper and brush on the table.
“Starting with the portrait of the Jipyameng leader.”
Jeon Birang had been driving all night and desperately needed sleep. Yet, knowing exactly why Dan Wooseong was doing this, he sat down at the table and began sketching the portrait of Jipyamyeongju.
Dan Wooseong watched the drawing and said.
“Bi-rang, if the entire Jipyameng attacks, countless lives will be lost. Of course, Jipyameng will suffer casualties too. So you figure out where the Jipyameng leader is. I’ll handle the killing. Killing a swarm of ants holds little interest for me.”
Jeon Birang replied while continuing to draw.
“I see. But I don’t think Ha Jeong-hak, the leader of the Jipyameng, is the sort of man who’d stand idly by once the fighting starts.”
“Is that so?”
“I’m not sure, but could he have become the leader of the Black Path by acting that way? Though his followers are all part of the Black Path too, precisely because they are part of the Black Path, an unmanly response would be the greatest cause for rebellion. That is also because they are part of the Black Path.”
