Chapter: 393

An heir that wasn’t related to the six clans. It wasn’t what Chun Yujong had been planning, but he decided that this too didn’t seem too bad. The Lord then nodded and decided. As he was going to speak out his decision, a sharp, hostile aura came to his senses. It wasn’t only Chun Yujong who felt this. Everyone felt the hostile energy and turned to the source.

‘F-first Elder?’

The source was the First Elder and Leader of the Wise clan, Mu Jinwon. He was glaring at Chun Yeowun with bloodshot eyes, with veins popping up over his forehead due to fury. He had been in shock ever since he heard that his family members were killed, and he didn’t care about anything else now.

‘He dare asks to be appointed as the heir at this moment?!’

Just up until the Lord and elders left the cult’s castle, Chun Muyun was very close to the heir. With other princes from each clan were expelled, Mu Jinwon believed that Chun Muyun will become the heir with not much of an issue. But when he returned, he found out that everyone from his clan had died while he was gone. Chun Muyun too, had committed crime inside the academy, escaped from the prison and eventually was found dead within the mansion of the Poison clan. From what Mu Jinwon can see, Lady Mu nor Chun Muyun was not foolish enough to do such foolish thing right before the competition was almost over. Both of them had died with a mistake that they would never have made, and Chun Yeowun became sole competitor, and requested to be appointed as the heir as if he waited for it. With this, Mu Jinwon could only think of one culprit for his suspicion.

‘Chun... Yeowun!’

He didn’t care about evidence anymore. With every emotion and thought heading to Chun Yeowun, Mu Jinwon wanted to rip Chun Yeowun apart right at this moment. Left Guardian Lee Hameng and Right Guardian Submeng quickly stood up against Mu Jinwon, and Great Guardian Marakim stood in front of the lord. Hameng pulled out the red Flame Sword and aimed at Mu Jinwon. Submeng also pulled out his Crazy Blade. Only ones who were allowed to wield weapons in the Great Hall were three guardians and the Lord.

“Step back, first elder.”

“You should behave in front of the Lord.”

Hameng and Submeng warned, but Mu Jinwon did not back down and spoke in a furious voice.

“Do you think I would not recognize your schemes?”

He was talking to Chun Yeowun, who was behind the guardians. Mu Jinwon glared at Yeowun, who was kneeling down on his one knee. Chun Yeowun then turned to his left and saw the first elder in his chair.

‘YOU!’

First Elder’s eye shook with rage as he met his eyes with Yeowun. Yeowun did not make any expression, but his eye looked as if he was taunting, glaring back at Mu Jinwon. Mu Jinwon exploded with anger and tried to get up.

“Enough.”

The Lord warned threateningly. It was simple, and low voice but the energy wielded within the voice was bottomless and pushed down Mu Jinwon.

“Ugh!”

Mu Jinwon then snapped out of his anger and realized he was within the Great Halls. He couldn’t do anything further without having the Lord to become angry. Mu Jinwon brought back his aura and bowed at the Lord and shouted.

“I have made a grave mistake to the Lord almighty. Please forgive my foolishness.”

He then began pounding his head on the ground. And when he began pounding multiple times, so that blood began to run through his head, Chun Yujong retrieved the energy that pressured on Mu Jinwon. Mu Jinwon’s face was drenched in blood. Chun Yujong looked down at Mu Jinwon coldly and ordered him to stop.

“Return to your seat.”

“Thank you Lord, for your everlasting mercy.”

Mu Jinwon bowed again and backed away into his seat. Lee Hameng then returned his sword and two guardians turned toward the Lord again. Mu Jinwon wiped his face with his clothes and glared back at Chun Yeowun.

‘I will find out everything and rip you apart with my own hands.’

If he was to be angry and kill Chun Yeowun here, it was going to work against him too. He had lost half of his family already, so he couldn’t lose any more. That’s when Mu Jinwon heard unexpected telepathic message coming through his ear.

[First Elder. What you suspect is true. It’s not the Poison clan. It was me.]

It was Chun Yeowun. It was a direct provocation. When Mu Jinwon looked at Yeowun with shaking eyes, he saw Yeowun with an evil smile. Mu Jinwon’s temper he barely controlled, had snapped.

“Aaaaaaaaargh! I will KILL YOU!!!”

Mu Jinwon then charged and bolted against Chun Yeowun.

“What?!”
