Pyo-wol blinked.
The news came out of the blue that it took him some time to accept it as a reality.
“Jin Geum-woo?”
“Yes. According to the leader, Jin Geum-woo— the steel-like man was killed.”
“Are you sure?”
“I don’t know for sure yet. I immediately called for you without having the time to check the authenticity of the rumor.”
Eunyo’s voice trembled.
While escaping from the Xiaoleiyin Temple and coming to Chengdu, Jin Geum-woo took great care of her and the other children.
Jin Geum-woo and the children did not have any face-to-face encounters before. But even then, Jin Geum-woo showed them unparalleled warmth. And Eunyo knew that there was no calculation behind his actions.
Soma couldn’t believe the news either, so he just blinked his wide eyes.
Pyo-wol later on broke the silence.
“Did you say that the leader is in the next room?”
“Yes!”
Pyo-wol got up from his seat and headed to the next room.
Eunyo and Soma just watched Pyo-wol.
He had a different expression than usual.
At that moment, the two became terribly afraid.
‘Different!’
‘Brother!’
After being abused in harsh environments for a long time, the two children had lost their sense of fear. But after seeing Pyo-wol’s changed atmosphere, it made them feel fear again.
Drreuk!
Pyo-wol opened the door to the VIP room and entered.
“Hicc! Who are you?”
“How dare you commit such disrespect?”
The VIP, who was talking with the leader of the Dunjiang Escort Corps, frowned.
Because a stranger came in unexpectedly.
The VIP was one of the powerful men in Chengdu. With a single word, he had the power to destroy an entire family in a single day.
“Who are you? And how dare you barge in out of nowhere? If you don’t explain yourself, I will destroy your family and the Divine Fragrance Pavilion.”
“Pyo-wol.”
“What?”
“My name is Pyo-wol.”
“Heuck!”
In an instant, the VIP’s face turned white.
Among the powerful and influential people in Chengdu, not a single one did not know of his name.
The Reaper of Chengdu.
The one who shut down the Qingcheng and Emei sect alone.
No powerful man in Chengdu dared to compare themselves to him. They initially tried their best to attract Pyo-wol to their side, but they couldn’t because of the wide gap.
They didn’t even know what he looked like.
They only knew of his name.
Pyo-wol pulled down the scarf that was covering his face and sat down.
In an instant, the VIP froze like ice. The moment he saw a face more beautiful than a woman, he realized that the person in front of him was the real deal.
‘Oh my god! Why is the reaper here?’
Winter was still far away, but his body was already trembling so bad. If only he could turn back time, he wanted to shut his own mouth who made a fuss a while ago.
How dare he threaten the reaper?
If the reaper made up his mind, his life and the lives of his family members could easily be ripped off from the world.
The VIP did not dare to open his mouth again. He just lay flat on his stomach, waiting for Pyo-wol’s disposition.
The leader of the Dunjiang Escort Corps looked at the VIP guest with a puzzled expression. But since he also had experienced many things, he ended up realizing that the beautiful man in front of him was of no ordinary existence.
He politely bowed and said,
“Did you say your name was Lord Pyo-wol? May I ask for the reason you have come to visit this room?”
“Jin Geum-woo!”
“Pardon?”
“Is what you said true? Is Jin Geum-woo dead?”
“So that’s why you’re here. Yes, It’s true.”
“Really?”
s o u n d l e s s w i n d 2 1 . c o m
“Yes, I’m sure! I’m even willing to bet my life on it!”
“How… how did he die?”
“I don’t know either. He is a member of the Jin family who resides in Tianzhongshan Mountain. Even his family were bewildered by the sudden announcement of Lord Jin’s death. My Escort Corps has been trading with the Jin family for a long time so I manage to get a hold of the news. The other sects don’t know of this yet.”
The leader of the Dunjiang Escort Corps revealed everything he knew. But Pyo-wol no longer listened to him.
‘Are you really dead?’
For some reason, his chest felt stuffy.
Pyo-wol got up from his seat and went outside.
“Brother!”
Soma approached Pyo-wol.
“Let’s go home.”
“Is that true? Did steel brother really die?
“It seems to be like that.”
“Who killed steel brother? Huh? Let me know. I’ll kill him.”
Soma went wild.
The image of Yaksa was hanging over his bright face.
“Hiiiic!”
“Keuek!”
The guests, who had been enjoying their time, were surprised by the fierce energy Soma gave off.
Pyo-wol brought Soma back to the Red Villa.
Even after returning to the Red Villa, Soma couldn’t contain his anger and ran wild.
Pyo-wol left Soma alone and went into his room.
He opened a drawer. Inside of it were dozens of piled up unread letters.
The dozens of letters all started with the same phrase.
[To my dear friend…
It’s already been two months since I went to Xizang with you. In the meantime, I’ve been to many places.
Among them, Yunnan was particularly memorable.
I think I will never forget my experiences in Yunnan.
There…]
Jin Geum-woo was bragging about the things he had been through in Yunnan and how he overcame different dangers.
Pyo-wol read another letter.
[To my dear friend…
…I’m still chasing after them. But their actions are so mysterious that I can’t even follow their tails
Am I following a mirage?
I’m slowly getting tired.
I’ll have to be strong though.]
Pyo-wol opened another letter.
It was an unsealed letter.
[To my dear friend…
…I have yet to see the Kowloon’s head, let alone its tail.
Maybe it’s all an illusion.
I don’t know.
