Chapter 57
When Dan Woo-seong returned to the Eunha Trading Company, people rushed out in droves to greet the young master.
These were the very people who had worried about Dan Woo-seong throughout his absence. After Gu Yang-se delivered the news that the head of the family had been imprisoned in the Martial Alliance’s Brain Prison, and after greetings were exchanged with the Martial Alliance warriors who had guarded the trading company in Dan Woo-seong’s stead, Chief Officer Yi Hwa-eon delivered unexpected news.
“Brother, just yesterday, a certain beauty arrived leading her followers.”
“A beauty? Who?”
“They say her name is Baekyak. She’s the winner of the Martial Arts Alliance’s Phoenix Grand Tournament.”
Dan Woo-sung, who had been moving to greet his father upon his return, stopped in his tracks.
“Baekyak? She came here?”
“Yes. She seemed puzzled about how she got here first? Looks like she came straight from the Martial Alliance to our merchant guild.”
“Ah, I’m on my way back after stopping by Gu Huashan. Just went to see the youngest. Anyway, got it.”
“How is the youngest?”
“He’s better than before. I’ll go pay my respects to Father first.”
Li Huayan chuckled softly in response.
“Have a safe trip.”
“Why are you grinning like that?”
“Nothing.”
Lee Hwa-eon stared at her brother’s back and said teasingly.
“She was a stunning beauty, wasn’t she?”
Danwooseong had no reply, so he let out a small sigh and went to meet Lee Seongmin.
