Reaper of the Drifting Moon - Chapter 465

Episode 465

Pyowol was alone when he returned to the inn.

Fengjon, who had gone out with them, had other errands and went separately.

It was easy to guess what his business was without having to listen.

“brother!”

“Brother!”

When Pyo-wol returned, Do Yeon-san and Eun-yo welcomed him.

“CNU?”

“I’m sleeping.”

“already?”

“You must have been tired.”

Pyowol thought it might be.

It was because they marched without rest until they reached Soyang.

Nam Shin-woo, who is younger than Do Yeon-san or Eun-yo, was burdened with it.

Eunyo asked.

“What about Pungjon Adults?”

“They said they had other business to look at. I think he will come in a little late.”

“is that so?”

“What about meals?”

“I have to do it now. Even if it’s not, I told Jeom Soi to bring it to the annex.”

“Good job.”

It was only a few hundred li from here to Giyang, where Shinwoljang was located. It was a distance that Pyowol could cover in a day if he made up his mind and spread light air.

Soyang was a city that straddled the boundary of Shinwoljang’s realm. If you do something outstanding here, you will notice it right away at the New Moon Market.

I came so carefully to figure out the true nature of Shinwoljang, but now I can’t bother to reveal my identity.

Fortunately, this was an inn operated by Haomen.

As long as they stayed in the annex, there was no way their identities would leak out.

After a while, Jeom So-yi came inside with a tray full of food.

“Are you in the market? This is a dish prepared by Suoksu-nim with great care.”

“looks delicious.”

“Smells good.”

Do Yeon-san and Eun-yo were delighted.

Just by smelling it, I could imagine how delicious it would be.

Jeomsoi put the food he had brought on the table.

“Then enjoy your meal.”

Jeom Soi bowed his head and backed off.

He didn’t say a single word that could make Pyowol’s party uncomfortable. It meant that he was well trained in Haomen.

The number of Hao Mundo scattered throughout the river was innumerable. However, most of them were low-level students, and only a few were the leaders.

Jeomsoi was recognized for his intelligence and was raised as a leader. Even though I was doing fortune-telling at an inn, I was learning how to see people, how to deal with people, how to obtain information, and how to process the information I obtained.

If you learn all there is to learn at the bottom, you will be sent somewhere and take another class.

After learning everything like that, he will be sent to an important base somewhere in Jianghu to work for Haomen.

That was Hao Mun’s way of developing his talents.

The food Jeomsoi brought was quite delicious.

I used good ingredients and used not too much seasoning.

It was perfect for my taste.

Pyo-wol and Eun-yo ate only small amounts, as was their custom. The rest was up to Doyeonsan.

Eun-yo set aside food for Nam Shin-wu to eat before Do-yeon-san finished eating.

“I fall asleep when I’m full.”

Do Yeon-san muttered with a satisfied expression.

I ate it in a hurry because it was a proper food that I had eaten in a few days. When I was full, my mind became hazy.

Eunyo said with a smile.

“If you’re sleepy, go in and get some sleep.”

“Can I?”

“It’s okay.”

“Then get some sleep. Who is your sister?”

“I will talk with my brother a little longer.”

“okay.”

Do Yeon-san nodded and went inside.

When only the two of them were left, Eun-yo said.

“He’s a good kid.”

“okay! He’s a good kid.”

“I am young, but I have a strong will.”

“I will. Even before, the responsibility alone was different.”

“Looking at the environment I grew up in, it was worth it.”

On the way to this place, Eun-yo and Do-yeon-san were almost stuck together. Of course, we talked a lot and learned a lot about each other.

Now, Eun-yo’s heart was also in a state of high spirits toward Do Yeon-san.

After that, the two chatted for a long time.

There were not many people in Gangho who could understand Pyowol. Conversely, only a few people could understand Eunyo.

They were one of the few people who could understand each other. So the story went well.

Pyowol, who had been talking for a long time, suddenly shut his mouth. Eun-yo, who put on a puzzled expression for a moment, soon realized why Pyo-wol was acting like that and was silent.

After a while, the door to the outbuilding opened and a man appeared.

It was the golden statue of Hao Mun who let them into Soyang.

Geumpisang said while taking a fist on the two.

“How do you like the accommodation?”

“great. Thanks to you, I am resting well.”

The answer was Eun-yo.

Her expression changed.

The loose expression he had shown to Pyowol and Doyeonsan disappeared completely and suddenly changed into his unique cold yet haughty atmosphere.

Eunyo said.

“Can I hear Hao Mun’s information now?”

“It’s Molone. By the way…”

Geumpisang looked at Pyowol with his words trailing off.

He asks with his eyes if he can say this in front of Eun-yo, who is still young.

Pyowol said.

“From now on, you can think of that child as a substitute for me.”

“Can you think of me as an agent of Pyo Daehyeop?”

“that’s right!”

“All right. Then…”

Only then did Geumpi-san understand and continued.

Pyo-wol thought that the golden skin was quite suitable.

Although it exudes a mysterious atmosphere, Eun-yo’s appearance has not completely escaped Atty’s yet. It can be seen as young and funny. However, there was no such sign at all in the golden skin.

Think of it as an agent of Pyowol and bring out the information you know.

“After receiving the communication, I kept a close eye on the New Moon Market. I haven’t been able to find out much in the short period of time I’ve been watching, but recently I’ve noticed one odd thing.”

“What is it?”

“It is an abnormal flow of materials. Considering the scale of the new moon field, it is not unusual for it to require a lot of supplies, but from what we understand, it goes too far.”

“Why did you judge that?”

“You know that manors are monsters that eat money. No matter how large the manor is, it is not easy to maintain the scale unless there is a proper business.”

A manor was the crystallization of wealth.

In the large manor, a huge mountain and a large lake are built on a vast site beyond imagination, and numerous halls and ornaments are placed around it.

Hundreds of people were stationed there to manage the manor.

Of course, the cost of maintaining it was enormous.

General manors also cost a lot of money, but in the case of manors related to strong players, the cost goes up exponentially.

The more resident unmanned people, the astronomically more maintenance cost.

Shinwoljang was one such manor.

Since it was one of the largest manors scattered all over the world, the maintenance cost was inevitably enormous.

The golden skin continued.

“According to our calculations, more than 200,000 nyang of gold is needed per year to maintain a manor of the size of Shinwoljang.”

“What is the basis for such a calculation?”

“It was calculated based on the operating costs of manors of similar size. After adding the operating cost in proportion to the number of people residing there, and calculating and adding the necessary items, food, weapons, etc., that kind of cost came out.”

“okay.”

When Eun-yo seemed to understand, Geumpi-sang continued.

“However, no matter how much you calculate, the income earned by Shin Woljang does not come close to that.”

Shinwoljang also had businesses such as Pyoguk Sangdan, which was independently operated. It also receives huge donations from other troupes or flag states. However, even after calculating all of that, it was far less than the operating cost of Shinwoljang for a year.

“Are you sure?”

“I have been in Soyang for over ten years. Naturally, I observed the New Moon Field as my top priority. I can tell you with my eyes closed about the business they run.”

“So you’re saying money is flowing in secretly from somewhere.”

“That’s going to be a huge amount coming in.”

“Do you have any guesses?”

“There are a few places, but it’s not certain yet.”

“Then let’s find out together.”

At Eunyo’s words, Geumpisang nodded and said everything he knew.

Silver Yao and Gold Pisang exchanged information and inferred again, forgetting that there was a mark.

It seemed like it would take quite a long time to come to a conclusion.

Pyowol got up quietly and left the room.

It is to believe in Eun-yo and get out of it.

Eun-yo had that ability.

With her ability to build an information network in Chengdu in a short period of time, she will surely find something good if she has superficial intelligence.

Pyo-wol sat on a bench and looked up at the night ball.

Countless stars were twinkling as if they were about to pour down.

＊＊＊

Baekjeolmun was the largest munpa in Soyang.

Baekjeolmunju Jo Jang-pyeong was a master who learned the martial arts called Byeok-un-Nookwon (碧雲雷拳).

It was said that when he performed the Byeokun Brain Power, his brain energy was weak in both fists. There was no one in Soyang who would be subjected to his powers based on brain power.

Jo Jang-pyeong raised Baekjeolmun with his own force.

Like most self-made people, Jo Jang-pyeong was very proud.

I didn’t dare to say that he was the first person in the world or the first person in Honam, but at least I thought he was the first person in Soyang.

The ambition was so great.

“I can’t be satisfied with just being the first person. Beyond knowledge, the number one person in Honam has to walk around with their shoulders straight.”

The problem was funding.

In order for Baekjeolmun to be bigger than it is now, a huge amount of money was needed. It was not easy to make money in the normal way. The person who approached him at that time was the Yayul family.

The Cheongeumjangju Yayul clan proposed to Jo Jang-pyeong to move away from the slums and build a luxurious mansion.

It was on the outskirts of Soyang when the slums first appeared, but as Soyang expanded over the years, it has now become a key point.

If only a high-end mansion could be built there, he could reap huge profits. The Yayul clan said they would share half of the gains with Jo Jang-pyeong.

Jo Jang-pyeong accepted the Yayul family’s proposal without hesitation.

He used the Black West to drive out the poor or buy their houses at bargain prices. The problem was Giga’s room.

“If you kick out Giga’s room, there won’t be any more obstacles.”

Jo Jang-pyeong smiled and took a drink.

It will take a little more time, but eventually it will work out on its own.

Jo Jang-pyeong thought so and made his own.

It was then.

thud!

Suddenly I felt a strong vibration.

The table shook and the bottle on it rattled.

In an instant, Jo Jang-pyeong’s eyes changed.

“what?”

With an unusual feeling, he jumped up from his seat.

Kwajik!

At that moment, his door was blown apart and a gale raged.

“Quit!”

Jo Jang-pyeong covered his face with his hands and looked toward the door.

An elderly man was striding into someone’s room holding onto someone’s back.

I didn’t know the identity of the old man, but I quickly recognized the man who was caught by him.

“Yayul Jangju?”

It was the Yayul family, the lords of the Cheongeumjang, who made a resigned expression while being grabbed by the back of the back.

“Why are you?”

“Run away too. Jo Moon-joo.”

At the words of the Yayul family, Jo Jang-pyeong clenched his fists.

It was because the Yayul family he knew were not such weak talkers.

Like the lord of the Cheongeumjang with enormous wealth, he protected himself with numerous escorts and treasures.

The fact that such a Yayul family was caught in such a clumsy manner meant that the opponent was a great master.

Jo Jang-pyeong secretly raised his gong power and looked at the mature man.

“Who are you? I will forgive you if you leave Yayul Jangju and withdraw like this.”

“Hehe! It’s funny. How dare you say such a thing to me.”

“I am Jo Jang-pyeong, the owner of Baekjeolmun Gate. You deserve to say that.”

“I heard that your martial arts are still one of the strongest.

The mature man who threw the Yayul family to one side and spread both hands was Pungjon.

He visited Baekjeolmun after Cheongeumjang.

“Dead!”

The Yayul family closed their eyes as they watched Jo Jang-pyeong exert all his power in the Byeok-Wun Brain Sphere.

“Oh, no!”
