Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 136

Dan Woo-hyeon came out alone for the first time in a long time and moved toward the store. Due to the nature of solving everything in Akyang, it is very unusual for him to go into business.

There are also no people accompanying him. It was as if I had gone out alone without speaking to anyone.

Although it was quite a distance, it was moved in one breath. It moves so quickly to take one step that you wonder if this is the Chukjibeop.

“It’s quite bustling.”

Su Si-jin leaves the manor.

Even though it was not a distance that could be reached within that time, Dan Woo-hyeon was standing there looking around.

It is a place with a different feel from Akyang.

First of all, it is wide.

Should I say it’s big?

The number of people also seems to be several times greater than that of Akyang. Does the castle in front of you belong to Wang Ya, who rules Honam? It could be said to be quite large and majestic, but it was not enough to attract Dan Woo-hyeon’s attention.

He looked around.

Shall we go to that street first?

It’s not a mindless walk, but it’s not a bad idea to look around. The first thing that caught my eye was the sweets being sold at the street stall.

Is it different from the taste of Akyang? I bought one and tried it, but it didn’t taste as good as I thought.

Those who buy and eat this must be people with horribly degenerated taste.

He threw the confectionery he was eating on the street and moved on.

My head turns back and forth as I wonder what I am looking for. However, after looking around for a while and not seeing what he wanted, he sighed with a bored expression.

“I’m sure you said it was here?” Dan Woo-hyeon looked around again. I looked around more carefully than before to see if there was a place I hadn’t seen before.

About half an hour like that.

While searching the entire street, I found a shabby manor in the most remote place. Should I call it a manor or a top tier?

The signboard says ‘Golden Ring Top’, but probably because the number of people passing by is small and it is shabby, people don’t even pay attention to it.

This place is the top?

Ordinary people would go to a place with a slightly more prestigious name. But it didn’t matter to Woohyun. It just had to be the top, and the important thing was that it had an inner side.

Gold ring top.

This is the top of the gold and silver crane, a merchant we met on the way to Anhui.

Dan Woo-hyeon stood in front of the gate, recalling his face that he couldn’t even remember properly. There was no one to stop them, as if there was not even a gatekeeper.

Dan Woo-hyeon opened the door and went inside.

It’s okay.

The shabby door opened with a sound that sounded like it was going to fall down at any moment.

Inside, several workers were hanging out with quite bored expressions, but when Dan Woo-hyeon came in, they quickly stood up and pretended to work.

If you don’t see something like this, it seems like no work will come in.

“Come and come!” “Thank you for visiting our Golden Ring Shop… Eh?”

And then a familiar person appeared before my eyes, rubbing his hands. His face was extremely bright, probably because he thought it was a long time since he was a guest.

However, when he realized that the person he was dealing with was Dan Woo-hyeon, he opened his mouth with a bloodless expression on his face.

“It’s been a while. Have you ever been in a remote place like this? “There was a reason I couldn’t find it even after wandering around for a while.”

“Isn’t it Daehyeop?

Uh… how can we get to the top…?”

Geum Eunhak stuttered and took a step back.

How much money was taken from him just for rescuing him? There is a reason why there was a loss even though it was the first time in a long time that a long-distance flight was made.

Such a culprit is right in front of us.

What else are you trying to eat?

A wary light appeared in Geum-Eun-Hak’s eyes.

“Does this place park guests outside?”

“Dog… are you a guest?”

“I am a guest.”

“Please eat inside!”

For a moment, Geum Eun-hak’s expression brightened. He quickly corrected his attitude and guided Dan Woohyun to the guest room.

The guesthouse he took to was also shabby. Since it was a place to serve guests, my house was quite clean, but from the outside, it was a ruin that wouldn’t be surprising if it collapsed any time soon.

Geum Eun-hak sat there facing Dan Woo-hyeon.

We served tea and refreshments and waited for the story.

Slurp.

Dan Woo-hyeon took a sip of tea and looked around.

“It’s shabby. Is it really the top? “My ears are going to pop out.”

“ha ha ha. “Because we are not in a place where business is good….”

We barely make a living.

Didn’t you say that?

All they do is mobilize their personal connections and earn enough to buy their own food and the salary of the workers. If even that is cut off, the upper level will no longer be able to operate.

“By the way, I heard that you came to give me some work…?”

“Did you say that? “I just said I was a guest…”

Geum Eun-hak’s expression died.

My head hurt at the thought of being bullied by Dan Woohyun again.

I remembered the price of refreshments and tea. This is enough money to live on for a day…. As

I lowered my head with tears in my eyes, I heard a sound of laughter.

“I guess everything at the top is about money.”

“Well, Honam is already in the hands of Mangeum Sangdan. The reality is that merchants below Mangeum Merchant are reaching out to most of our business partners. “If you don’t get under the command of the Mangeum Sangdan… this is the situation most people face.”

“It’s the Mangeum Sangdan… It must have belonged to a man named Man Hou Liang, right?”

“Yes. What…”

“How many peaks of his influence are there in this part of Honam?”

“The place with the greatest influence is none other than the Honam Sangdan, which broke away from the Mangeum Sangdan. And there are about three or four other places…?”

That’s all that comes to mind. Most of the ones I don’t remember are probably Yakso Sangsang, whose names are not even known, but who came under the Mangeumsangdan through connections.

“hmm.”

Dan Woohyun nodded and asked.

“What do you need to make the top bigger?”

“It’s all about money, of course… And there are business partners with whom we can do steady business.”

“If you were to take the top spot in Aeyang, what would you do first?”

Although it was a random question, Geum Eun-hak did not even have any doubts. I just thought it was an innocent question.

“We will sell alcohol that will become a specialty in Agyang.”

“alcohol?”

“Yes, with Dong-ho Dong-ho next to us, there are a lot of people drinking. “They will probably make a deal with the Hoyeon family to target those people.”

“What if you say Hoyeonse?”

“It’s a place famous for making alcohol. In the past, I mean. Nowadays, they no longer do it due to the low prices, but if they make and sell alcohol again, it will make money. There are still many rich people who have not forgotten that drink. Of course, it is necessary to assume that the taste has not changed…”

“I see… Then what then?”

“…May I know why you are asking?”

“Just answer the question.”

“greatness!”

Geumyunhak cleared his throat.

I don’t know the reason, but Dan Woo-hyeon was quite serious. When I look at the person’s eyes, I feel intimidated and cannot ask a question back, so I absolutely do not answer.

Never.

“…Others are not easy to break into because existing merchants are already doing business with them. Silk rice and salt… things that make money like this. But there is one thing that is possible.”

“What is it?”

Geum Eunhak smiled brightly.

This was a goal he had been thinking about since childhood.

None other than….

“These are spices from the western region and items used there. These are items that only Mangeum Sangdan trades several times a year, and they are sold at exorbitant prices.”

Dan Woohyun nodded.

It certainly seemed like those things would make enough money. But this man cannot see reality. What guarantee is there that he, who is crawling at the bottom, will be able to do what only the top tier can do?

But it’s fun.

Human challenges are endless, and if we don’t challenge ourselves, we always end up at a standstill. Moreover, in Dan Woo-hyeon’s opinion, this person is Geum Eun-hak.

Although he nods in front of himself, he is not a person without a pulpit.

Dan Woo-hyeon took out the bag from his pocket and threw it in front of him.

Clang!

The moment it landed on the table, the entrance opened and the gold and silver characters poured out.

“What… what is it?”

“It’s an advance fee. Fold the top here and

move it to Aeyang. “I’ll give you ten days.”

” to?”

“Didn’t you hear?”

“Oh no, I heard it, but… what on earth are you talking about…?”

“I’m telling you to come to Aeyang instead of panting with the merchants who are dying in places like this. I’ll give you the money. “Try to create a summit that surpasses the Mangeum Summit.”

“…to?”

A top that surpasses the top of Mangeum?

Are you talking about farting?

Considering that many top teams have tried their best to surpass it so far, but none of them have been able to achieve it, it is said that Mangeum Top is the best top in the midfield and its power is unpredictable.

Jump over there?

Who are you trying to kill?

“Oh no no no! Boo… it’s impossible. Daehyup!”

“Are you scared?”

“Eh… ah. There is that, but how could a lowly bastard like me get to a place like that?…”

“The lower a bastard is, the more he grits his teeth to climb up. “Because I don’t want to be humble.”

M | 99

“And you don’t have to worry. The fact that you do what I ask means that you are mine. “I protect my people no matter what.”

“Dae Daehyeop….”

“I will be your strength.”

Dan Woo-hyeon put down the glass in his hand and stood up. Without even thinking about packing the bag I had thrown away, I stood there and looked down at the gold and silver crane.

“Leave the money behind. If you want to do it, come over to Agyang within 10 days. “If you don’t have any ideas… leave the money to the evil spirit.”

“Are you talking about the spirit of the tongue?”

The golden crane’s heart raced as it saw him nodding.

Everything he says and does is manly. Would you say there is no hesitation? Even though it was only a once-in-a-lifetime relationship, he had the audacity to believe in himself and come to me and suggest something like this.

I’ve met many people since I was born, but this is my first time.

That’s why my heart raced even more. My heart is pounding.

My pounding heart did not calm down.

“Do you… trust me?”

“If you didn’t believe in it, you wouldn’t have come.”

“You only saw me once.”

“Are my eyes that bad?” Geum Eun-hak looked into Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes for the first time. It’s surprising to think that until now it was impossible to even look at those eyes out of fear.

And I feel it.

The image of myself that I see in those eyes. However, it is impossible to know what Dan Woo-hyeon is thinking, but one thing is certain: Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes clearly show his trust in Geum Eun-hak.

Geum Eun-hak smiled with a bitter expression.

“Are you not even giving me time to think?”

“Your precious time is only shrinking.”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and turned his back and left the guesthouse. His one word pierced my heart like an awl, and the look in his eyes was stuck in my mind and would not go away.

The golden crane looked up at the invisible sky.

“Are you saying this is an opportunity given by heaven? “I don’t know.”

He shook his head.
