Chapter 24
After saying something unintelligible, Pang Gak thirstily burned Pang Hyang and disappeared.
The uncle said that he didn’t want to see the end of the sword meeting.
“Why waste time watching something that’s already been decided? Buy yourself a drink next time. Take care.”
With that, she left.
“How long have you been friends with Ho Tae-do?”
“There’s not a man in the Zheng Clan who hasn’t heard my name and seen my face. Especially if you’ve seen me in my prime.”
I was wrong. I was wrong.
Why revive the memories of one who is haunted by past glories.
I realized that there is nothing more ugly than a drunkard reminiscing about the past.
After a while, he made my ears bleed with his recollections of my past glories.
“Wow, here we go!”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Someone shouted, and I saw the Namgung Mu Baek, the Namgung Ho, and the rest of the leaders of the Sword Council walk onto the offstage area.
Everyone was curious.
What would be the treatment for the Grand Duke who had exposed the family’s shame?
Would Mr. Pang really never come out of the black cage?
Would the sword council still go ahead?
They were all full of questions, and they wanted him to answer them.

“The final round of the sword tournament will be postponed.”
They weren’t kind enough to answer those questions.
So be it.
I looked at Namgung Mubai, and he was staring back at me. I felt a rush of pressure that made my heart feel like it was pounding in my chest.
Something about his gaze alone overwhelmed me, and I felt half-boned.
