Chapter 161
The Strong Gather
Kwangshin personally tidied up the Martial Alliance’s quarters prepared by Yoo Jeonghong. He organized the clothes he had changed out of and the bedding, dusted everything off, and wiped down various surfaces with a dry cloth. After trimming his beard while looking in the mirror, he stared blankly at his own face.
His hair seemed somehow darker now.
Had he somehow regained his youth through the Elixir of Youth? Though nothing could be more joyful than reclaiming youth, Gwangshin’s expression held no joy to begin with.
His mind was filled only with this thought.
‘I held on for a long time.’
Had he been alone, he likely wouldn’t have endured.
There was Uisin, Geomshin, and Yujeonghong. There was also a junior named Kwonwang, and now there was Cheolmyeongho. He had never explicitly said thank you, but he was naturally grateful to them—the rare men who had stood by his side, even briefly, for a madman like him.
Truthfully, few men could speak properly without trembling in front of Gwangshin, so his circle of relationships was extremely narrow.
Cheol Myeong-ho’s voice came from outside the door.
“Master?”
“I’ll be out shortly.”
“Yes.”
He rummaged through his pockets and found a few useless vouchers. There was no use for the money. He pulled them all out and laid them on the table.
After discarding everything, Gwangshin opened the door and stepped out. Cheolmyeongho and Gwangma were waiting there.
