"Since you five called out today would most likely be able to move on towards this upcoming festival, I and the Elders have agreed to make you become the group leader." The People says catching me completely off guard.
"Yes, for this group of a total of seven individuals, you shall be the group leader, the Captain." He says.
I stood there surprised.
Well I’d have expected Rohli to take on the role of Captain.
"Ummm, why me if I may ask?"
"Well, it would’ve been best for Soha to take on the role..."
"But, she’d probably find it too burdensome and just reject it." He says.
’Oh so I’m the one you then decided to dump the responsibility on huh?’ I say in my head.
"That’s not fair, so you do not want to stress Soha Unnie but you want to stress me, isn’t that too much preference her Father, we both your daughters you know." I say with a calm sweet voice a if trying to act cute.
He waves his right hand over at me as he turns his face away from me.
"Ohh please, so now you know I’m your father?"
Tch, guess that didn’t work...
"Anyways, you now have another responsibility, lead them well, with yours, Soha and Hyuk’s newly improved strength I do not fear not qualifying for the Murim Congress but do be careful ok?" Follow current novels on Nove1Fire.net
Hmmm, he’s sounding like a father.
"Yes Patriarch, I understand."
"Good, now you may go sleep." He says as if mocking me with a chuckle.
Forget what I said about father, he’s just an annoying ajeossi.
"Then I’m off Patriarch."
I turn and leave the room.
Thinking I could finally have my time, waiting for me outside was The Grand Elder.
"Good day Grand Elder."
"Yes, how are you doing Dang So?"
"I am good thanks to the efficient work of you Elders and the Patriach."
"Ohh, please stop the flattery." He says as he waves his hand with a smile.
My eyes wonder to the woman standing beside him.
"You have never properly introduced me to the woman beside you Grand Elder, all I know is that she was one of the assassins sent after us and that you managed to bring her over to our side."
Though the fact that she turned over to us makes her so untrustworthy.
What kind of assassin fails at his/her job and then goes ahead to join the side of the client.
She must be a two faced person and having someone like that in the clan will do nothing but bring harm to us.
Suddenly the lady steps forward.
"I know what you must be thinking Miss Dang So, Special Adviser and I can perfectly understand why you would not trust someone such as I.
I’ve watched you for a while now and you are an incredibly smart, mature and talented girl, to the extent I doubt if you are actually just eighteen.
But I didn’t change just because I failed at my assassination attempt, I have my own circumstances which I cannot explain to you but I can promise that I will not bring harm to the Clan." She bows her head after speaking.
Well at this point what could I possibly say.
"Ohhh and I would like to have a spar with you one of these days." She says.
"Ummm, forgive me but one day I saw you sparring with the First Young Mistress Dang Soha and I couldn’t help but continue watching as you both clashed marvelously on sparring ground, since then I’ve been craving to cross my blades with you." She explains.
"Hmmm, why me though? As you would have seen Dang Soha is stronger than I am so why not go over to her." I say.
"Well, thereare reasons for that.
First she’s cold to everyone. The only people she answers are you, her brothers, her father sometimes and the Grand Elder, and even the Grand Elder here says he isn’t willing to annoy her with such a request.
Second, I believe I have not gained the trust to ask her of such a favour yet.
Third she could just kill me if she annoyed by my disturbance." She says.
I see, she knows Dang Soha is strong enough to kill her, even though she’s a Mid - Stage Martial Master and Dang Soha is a Peak Late Peak Martial Expert.
I see she must have really analyzed the sparring match she watched.
"I see, so you believe she is that strong? Even though she is still in the Late Peak Realm?"
"Yes, of course, I do not believe that just Realm alone determines ones strength.
The realm of an individual is very important in determining his/her strength but that alone shouldn’t be enough.
In this Clan right now the only person who could beat her would probably be the Grand Elder, and even he may struggle." She says.
I see, she has a good understanding of Martial Arts to some degree.
Wait with such understanding she must have been trying to hone herself with this.
So she must be one of the strong ones.
Then the Grand Elder who is now training her...
"Grand Elder, if I may ask, why have you not broken through to the Grand Master Realm yet?"
He says nothing and just gives a smile as he turns away.
He begins walking away.
"I hope you consider my request in a good light second Yound Mistress." The lady says with a slight bow.
She turns away and follows behind the Grand Elder.
That old man, he didn’t answer me.
At least he told me her name.
Suddenly I feel a chill pass by me.
I turn and I see it’s Dang Hyuk.
What’s up with him now.
Hmmm, I should go check on Dang Ki Ran.
