Chapter 1930 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1930. So a Day Like This Really Does Come. (5) “This is a gift prepared by our Songhe Sect. It is a modest offering, but please accept it.” [ Songhwamun . 송화문(松和門). Song (松): pine; hwa (和): harmony; mun (門): gate or sect. A martial sect name meaning roughly “Gate of Pine and Harmony.”]   “Ah, n-no, the invitation clearly stated that gifts would be declined in the invitation letter—” “Ahahaha. Indeed, indeed. But when visiting another sect, coming empty-handed is both uncomfortable and discourteous, is it not? We have already brought it all the way here, so please do not refuse and accept it.” “Hmm. If you insist like this....” Un Am hesitated awkwardly. Meanwhile, sparks practically flew from the eyes of the other sect leaders surrounding them. ‘That bastard did this on his own without saying a word?’ ‘I definitely didn’t see it earlier. Did he hide it and bring it up?’ ‘What a vicious fellow. If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve prepared a gift too....

Chapter 1929 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1929. So a Day Like This Really Does Come. (4) “...Kill me.” “You must not die yet, Merchant Guild Master.” “Just kill me.....” “I’m telling you, now is not the time for you to pass away.” Transparent tears streamed down Hwang Jong-ui’s eyes. “Why....

He could see the members of the Eunha Merchant Guild running about in utter panic, scattering in every direction. “Bedding! Has all the bedding been prepared?” “The quantities are all correct. But some different items got mixed in.” “What? What nonsense are you talking about! I clearly told you to make everything the same! If we prepare different goods and people start saying we’re discriminating between sects, the whole alliance gathering will collapse!” “But there simply aren’t enough goods available.” “Then replace them with somethi...

Chapter 1928 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1928. So a Day Like This Really Does Come. (3) “B-Branch Leader!” “Hm?” “It’s an emergency! M-Mount Hua has requested that invitations be sent out!” The Branch Leader of the Beggar Union’s Huayin Branch, Gwan Cheol, who had been promoted to Branch Leader after Hong Daegwang, clicked his tongue briefly. [Gwan Cheol. 관철(管喆).] “And what’s so urgent about that? Just do it. Send them out and be done with it.” “No, it’s...” “Didn’t you hear the order? Anything involving Mount Hua gets our full cooperation, even if it bankrupts the branch!” “That’s not the problem...” “Good grief. Why are you talking so much? Just send them!” No one understood Gwan Cheol’s position better than Gwan Cheol himself. After all, when the former Branch Leader Hong Daegwang—now the Sect Leader—had entrusted the branch to him, he had repeatedly hammered one thing into his head. — If news from the branch reaches them late, you die. If Mount Hua has a complaint, you die. If nothing hap...
