Chapter 33 Coffee Is Way Too Powerful for Just Making Coffee The Essence Grand Festival (3) Seoul, Gangnam. The Hunter Association headquarters, in the chairman’s office.

Chapter 38 At that moment, Ara's gaze turned ice-cold, and she bared her fangs as if she were about to tear out the man's throat. But before Ara could move, Un Sook-eum, who had been drenched in soup, stepped forward first. “You shameless, vulgar bastard…” Thud! Before Un Geum-won could finish his curse, Un Sook-eum suddenly raised her leg and kicked him viciously in the stomach. Un Geum-won flew through the air and slammed hard into the door before tumbling pathetically onto the…-

Chapter 22 People who recognized the white-haired gentleman who had suddenly appeared began whispering among themselves. “My goodness, is that really the Duke of Carseido?” “I heard he never appears in high society… What’s going on?” The murmuring grew louder, almost like modern-day people spotting a celebrity.

Chapter 19 “You’ve been through a lot, staying in a place like this.” “It was nothing.” Another ten minutes passed before Mr. Lee finally left the mountain lodge with Young-in. Apparently still worried, Young-in put his mask back on and repeatedly bowed as he saw Mr. Lee off. Fortunately, it seemed that the place had not affected him in any particular way.

Chapter 19 The Bow Demon (4) To be honest, it hadn't been intentional. It wasn't as though he were some reincarnation of Zhuge Liang. How was he supposed to draw up a plan and predict everything in the middle of such a chaotic battlefield? ‘I just wanted to keep them from fighting together.’ Gwan Hwi's goal had been nothing more than a minor division. He had never intended to stab them in the back and betray them. ‘Well, it worked out.’ They said that no matter which road you…

Chapter 18 The appearance of the boys was strange from the very beginning. The moment Ryeong, whose sensory perception was the most developed among them, sensed their movements, he stopped the carriage. It wasn't long before Dokgo Hyeon sensed them as well and got out of the carriage. “Looks like we’re finally going to meet some Green Forest bastards.” At Dokgo Hyeon’s words, Muheun gave a faint chuckle. “If someone overheard you, they’d think you were a member of the Green…-

Chapter 17 Muheun looked at Dokgo Hyeon with his eyes slightly widened. “Brother, from what I understand, the Nine Forms of the Dokgo Nine Swords are the very core of the martial art.” “…Yeah. That’s right.” “Then, if you are unable to perform the Nine Forms…” “…Well.” Dokgo Hyeon fell silent and avoided Muheun’s gaze. “No, but seriously, this isn’t something just anyone can do. My master said he could perform the Nine Forms, but I never actually saw him do…

Chapter 17 That same day, in the inner quarters of Kim Jageun, the head of the powerful Haedong Kim clan in Hanseong— The moment Kim Jageun’s trusted subordinate reported the outcome of the royal council, Kim Jageun spoke. “Remove the local magistrates involved first. If we cut them loose first, it will look like we were the ones who dealt with the matter.” “But, My Lord, what should we do about the people whose names are written in the ledgers?” “Send them out to the provinces.…-
