Chapter 80
Danwooseong returned to Taeho Trading Company after agreeing to meet again at the secluded retreat of Gwangshin, as revealed by Baekryong Gate Master Ju Yeonwol.
Amidst this, the funeral for Master Eunpil, who had looked after the Taeho Trading Company, proceeded in a solemn atmosphere.
Dan Woo-seong deliberately introduced himself as the stepson of the Taeho Trading Guild’s leader while assisting with the funeral. This allowed him to meet most of the key figures associated with the Taeho Trading Guild in person.
Dan Woo-seong memorized the faces of those flocking to the funeral.
He knew some would enter the funeral while hiding their identities, since the Left General and the Twelve Swords had died.
Among the mourners, word spread like wildfire that the stepson of Taeho Trading Company’s owner was an incredibly powerful figure.
Dan Woo-seong had deliberately taken upon himself the risks that could befall Taeho Trading Company. Though he had secretly waited throughout the funeral period for the man in the purple robe, the funeral concluded quietly, as if he harbored no lingering regret over the failed operation.

Dan Wooseong departed the Taeho Trading Company only after ten days had passed, heading for Gwangshin’s secluded retreat. For resolving this matter, Dan Wooseong received only an excessive amount of travel money and a single judge’s brush once used by Master Eunpil. One brush had melted, but the other had been retrieved from where it had been stuck in Lee Geon-chang’s neck. Dan Woo-seong deliberately carried this magistrate’s brush with him whenever he stopped at inns or secured lodging.
