Chapter: 882

“Are you really asking, 17th leader?”

“Exactly!”

As Yi Mok, the Great Leader of Forces of Justice, asked, someone got up from his seat and stepped forward.

“Great Leader, please send me to the Imperial Palace along with the 17th leader.”

The man who’d stepped forward was none other than Yeon Buso, the eldest son of Yulin’s Great Leader.

Yeon Buso.

The eldest son of Yi Mok.

If one thought about his surname, one would notice that it was different from his father’s.

It wasn’t because he wasn’t the real son of the Great Leader.

It was because Yi Mok, the unmarried Great Leader of the Forces of Justice, had three children, all of them orphans.

Yeon Buso, Kang Soah and Mo Yuju.

Although the three siblings were orphans, they were always praised for being worthy of the attention of North Justice Blade Yi Mok.

It wasn’t known why his three children hadn’t taken his surname, but it was undeniable that they were going to be the figures who lead the Forces of Justice in the future.

Amongst them, Yeon Buso, the eldest son, was going to be the face of the next generation of Yulin. The fact that he had been raised with great care and dedication was the reason why some leaders already supported him.

“My lord, please send me to the Imperial Palace along with the 17th leader.”

The eyes of the Great Leader opened wide.

It was the first time he’d heard Yeon Buso request something.

His son had been invited to the meetings several times before, but he’d never expressed his intentions.

‘Hmm... is it because of the Lord of the Demonic Cult?’

Although he wasn’t his biological son, Yi Mok was the one who had raised him, there was no way he didn’t understand his son’s intentions.

Although Yeon Buso was never interested in anything else, he seemed particularly interested in anything that had to do with Lord Chun Yeowun.

‘Thinking of him as his opponent?’

The corners of Yi Mok’s lips rose.

Being one of the Five Strongest Warriors of Wulin, he was always compared to the Lord of the Demonic Cult.

There had even been rumors stating that the North Lord would face the South Demonic Cult’s Lord.

It was natural for Yeon Buso to consider Chun Yeowun as his rival as they’d come out of their martial arts school at the same time, and had both gained fame at the same time as well.

‘He is indeed my son.’

Perhaps it was because of Yi Mok’s influence, that Yeon Buso always kept a close eye on Chun Yeowun’s movements, especially since Jegal Sohi had gone to the Demonic Cult as a member of the envoy.

Yeon Buso’s eyes, which looked at the Lord, were filled with a sense of victory.

‘It might be risky, but it can be a good experience for him as well. An excellent opponent would be a driving force that can push him past his limits.’
