Chapter 363 – What to Do About This (2)
Hwangbo Hyosun couldn’t stand the man in front of her, who was making an awkward expression.
As he had said before, none of the factions that tried to eradicate the Ma-gyo had brought complete peace to the Mu-rim.
That was why she had hoped that the man who had taken the path that no one had ever taken before, the path of settling the conflict between the two factions, would succeed.
“But how…!”
How could he have brought so many Ma-gyo warriors to the central plain while she was off guard and showed his face in front of her?
The longer the man with the awkward expression remained silent, the more frustrated Hwangbo Hyosun became. She wished she could just laugh at herself for being so foolish.
“Um… Yeohyeop, let me start with the conclusion. I have never lied.”
“…It’s not a lie?”
It was ridiculous.
On the one hand, she thought it was impossible, but on the other hand, she felt a faint hope in her heart that her expectations were not in vain.
“Yes. Let me explain.”
The man spoke with a serious expression, without a hint of laughter, and Hwangbo Hyosun nodded her head without realizing it.
But as soon as she heard the explanation, Hwangbo Hyosun felt dizzy.
“The materials in the central plain are usually moved by the Pyo-guk or the upper class, and their destination is usually the local merchants. But we…”
“Even in the days when there were no carts, people somehow carried goods. But what if all the carts in the world disappeared? That’s why…”
“Normally, it’s a business that requires a large number of skilled workers and can’t expect much profit, but fortunately, the Myeong-gyo has the ability to handle it…”
“Wait a minute!”
The only thing Hwangbo Hyosun could barely understand from the man’s explanation was that, unlike before, large-scale upper-class transactions would now be made directly with individuals.
As the leader of the Mu-rim Baekho-dan, it sounded plausible, but she had never managed a large-scale business before.
If the explanation had been given in more detail, she might have understood it better, but because Kang Yoon intentionally compressed the explanation, Hwangbo Hyosun could only grasp a vague feeling.
And above all, there was one important fact that she had to confirm.
“So, are all the Ma-gyo warriors here gathered to operate this business?”
“That’s right.”
Hwangbo Hyosun was speechless at the man’s casual answer.
Chapter 363 – What to Do About This (2)
At first glance, there were at least high-level experts among them.
To treat them like pawns or even soldiers? It was a sight that was unimaginable in the factions.
“Are you satisfied? Do you understand?”
“Uh, well… that’s…”
Hwangbo Hyosun was inwardly flustered by the man’s question. She couldn’t understand how this situation aligned with the man’s purpose.
“Yes, you can take your time explaining.”
Judging by his attitude alone, she didn’t think he was trying to deceive her.
There was no falsehood in the explanation he had given, so her intuition didn’t warn her of anything.
But it was too important a matter to decide based on that alone.
“I’m sorry, but could you explain it again… no, never mind.”
She had thought of listening to the explanation again to understand it better, but then she realized that there was no guarantee that she would understand it even if she heard it again.
It was a concept that was very unfamiliar to her, who was not even a merchant, and she was not particularly dull, but she was not exceptionally bright either.
“Oh, I see.”
If she couldn’t do it, she could ask for help from someone else. She wasn’t alone here.
“Kang Sohyup, there should be No Bangju here… Kang Sohyup?”
When she mentioned No Heebang, who was probably the most versatile among the three women, the man’s expression stiffened.
“No Bangju… is she here?”
“You didn’t know? I, No Bangju, and Monga are all… being held here.”
Hwangbo Hyosun belatedly realized that it was not something to say lightly and hesitated to continue speaking.
“Why is his expression like that?”
Although the man’s expression soon returned to normal, Hwangbo Hyosun fixed a suspicious gaze on his face.
“This is becoming a headache.”
The method I chose to persuade Hwangbo Hyosun was to distort the information somewhat.
I never lied, but my goal was to give her a vague image with an unkind explanation.
Unless I explain it sincerely with examples like in the Ma-gyo, it’s difficult to realize that this is a kind of economic invasion.
Since she doesn’t even know the meaning of it in this era where she is not even a merchant, I intended to package it as if the damage was not that great.
“Anyway, since Hwangbo Hyosun will eventually find out from someone else, I thought I would give her a slightly distorted answer now and then give her a carrot to the factions later…”

“Anyway, since Hwangbo Hyosun will eventually find out from someone else, I thought I would give her a slightly distorted answer now and then give her a carrot to the factions later…”
“This three-step plan was perfect, but of all the people who came with us, why did it have to be her…”
No Heebang was one thing, but to have No Bangju here too.
If this story got into Hwangbo Hyosun’s hands, who was in charge of the information organization, she would immediately mobilize the guilds to investigate the situation, even if it meant using spies.
She would realize that Ma-gyo Coupang was actually a huge stake in the middle of the central plains.
“Why is he acting like that?”
“It’s because… there was no one else who could reveal their identity without hesitation except for Hwangbo Hyosun, so I was worried.”
“Oh, I see… I understand now…”
Actually, this was also a problem. Hwangbo Hyosun, who knew that Ma-gyo was connected to this, was fine. But the others couldn’t be met until the calculations were made.
“I want to hear your explanation again, if you don’t mind.”
Hwangbo Hyosun said with an uncertain expression. Even though she was willing to listen to me, was it possible for her to understand?
But at least she was willing to trust me, considering my situation where I couldn’t meet No Heebang.
However, my plan had already gone awry.
“No, it’s okay. For now, could you stay here and make yourself comfortable? I’ll explain everything to you later so that you won’t be uncomfortable in your daily life.”
Whether I could manipulate Hwangbo Hyosun in any way didn’t matter. If I couldn’t persuade No Heebang, my efforts would ultimately be in vain. I had to think of a way to convince her as well.
“…Okay, I’ll come back when I’ve sorted out my thoughts.”
Still, it was fortunate that Hwangbo Hyosun was willing to listen to me, and I joined Yeongho-gyeong, who was waiting at the door.
“…This is a mess.”
“These people are so short-sighted.”
Nice words, nice words.
I stroked her belly while listening to her explanation of the situation, almost slipping up with a curse.
“I’m sorry for almost using bad language…”
“You’re not too uptight, are you? It’s not like you’ll remember it anyway…”
“Still, it’s better to use kind words.”
Actually, tonight we’re planning to do something much more indecent, so it probably doesn’t matter, but I should try to use polite language as much as possible, even in everyday situations.
“Anyway… sigh…”
I let out a sigh involuntarily.
It was inevitable that there would be a collision with Hwangbo Hyo-seon’s group when the subordinates, who had temporarily vacated the area in case Yeong-un-ja came here, returned. Let’s just say that.
The problem was that they brought the subdued women here. No, even bringing them here could have been overlooked.
Their biggest mistake was bringing the women here in a state where they were still conscious, under the careless judgment that they were going to kill them anyway.
“It couldn’t be helped. Only a few know that we’re giving up the final battle with the faction…”
“Yes, I understand. If we spread it around the neighborhood beforehand, it will only cause division.”
Most of the magicians involved in this business think that once they stake their claim in Jungwon, they will fight against the faction.
That alone was enough to make the magicians realize the importance of covert operations. But in this situation, it becomes a headache.
‘They knew about their existence, which should have been kept secret. Of course, they would have known how to kill them.’
Maybe they did it on purpose because they wanted to kill them, but there’s no way to know without opening up.
“It would have been better to just leave them and run away, so we could blame it on the Eunryeong Society’s lackeys.”
“Blame them… Didn’t we agree not to use bad words?”
“…Is that a bad word?”
Yeong-ho-kyeong nodded his head, and I gained a new realization. I shouldn’t use it from now on.
Anyway, now that things have turned out like this, the choices are narrowed down to two. Either let all three go, or give up on Hwangbo Hyo-seon and kill all three.
But as Yeong-ho-kyeong casually threw out the fact, it collapsed like a sandcastle next to me, even the possibility of the latter.
“Honestly, aren’t you not even considering the possibility of killing them all?”
“…”
That was actually the case. Although I pretended to be calm and talked about killing them all, there were already two people who had tasted the essence of it, and Noh Hui-bang was also openly unadorned, so it was a beautiful MILF.
Honestly, if it wasn’t something that couldn’t be avoided no matter what happened, I didn’t want to harm them.
As if he had gotten enough of an answer from my silence, Yeong-ho-kyeong shook his head.
“Really… how many more women do you need to satisfy yourself?”
“…”
“Well, I don’t have the right to complain about this since I didn’t promise to marry you.”
“That, that’s not it.”
When Yeong-ho-kyeong first allowed me to see her as a reward for saving her life, we made a promise. A child was allowed, but there would be no marriage.
It was probably an attempt to prevent me from exerting influence on the magicians using myself or the child in my womb, but I thought that such a thing was already meaningless.
‘Ah, no.’
“Ah-kyung, where’s the bedroom?”
“W-why are you asking that?”
Although she acted flustered, the fact that Yeong-ho-kyeong mentioned that she didn’t promise to marry me was an unmistakable signal.
Before thinking about touching other women, it was a signal to pour my heart out to the woman who was mine.
“Ah…♥”
I reached out to Yeong-ho-kyeong, and she didn’t resist at all until my hand tightly grasped her plump breasts.
“Even if you become the leader of the magicians… we agreed that you would submit to me whenever I ask you to, in a place where no one else is around.”
If I wanted to persuade Noh Hui-bang, I would need to gather more information and think about it.
There was no point in worrying about it right now. For now, let’s release the tension with this MILF and the reunion with Hui-po, who was panting with a red face, and think about it later.
“Give me your pussy…”
“Ugh…!”
Sweetie, this isn’t a bad word. It means that I love my mommy very much. You’ll understand when you grow up.
