Ssshh—
The atmosphere cooled as soon as I spoke.
Especially the old man in front of me—Muk Yeon—his reaction was anything but calm.
“Conditions, you say?”
His eyes practically screamed his thoughts.
They were asking me, Are you serious?
I met that gaze and smiled faintly as I responded.
- While officially affiliated with the Martial Alliance, I would not be bound by orders except those from the Leader.
- During my tenure as Great Leader, the Gu family would be exempt from sponsorship fees and trade tariffs imposed by the Alliance.
- I would gain command authority over one additional Sword Division—excluding the Azure Dragon Division—along with jurisdiction over regional branches.
- The Sword Master in her youth.
- The Divine Doctor in his prime.
- And the founder of the Baekhwa Trading Company.
Thanks
