The return of Heuk Cheon and everyone to Redwood Estate had been inevitable. It was their true home, the foundation on which they had built their strength from the ground up. But the timing? That had been very uncertain…. until now.
The Black Ghost Pavilion's betrayal had caused cracks to form within the Murim Alliance, there was growing a hostility lurking in the shadows... Everything had pointed to one truth.
It was that they had to reclaim their foundation before the war became far too worse.
"The Murim Alliance will not like this," Ji Seol-Hwa had pointed out as they were riding through the mountain pass.
Heuk Cheon gave her a smirk. "Then they can try to stop us."
Seo Ryung looked at him. "And if they do?"
Heuk Cheon's fingers were tapping against his scabbard. "Then we will remind them who they are dealing with."
The Redwood Estate had been left in the care of a couple of trusted few. But as the group were riding closer, something had felt... off.
