A few hours earlier, in the hanok annex of the Hwangmyeong Mansion.

Is my answer enough?

At some point, the emotions in Eunhos young eyes disappeared.

Jeokho was distracted by his friends voice and almost nodded without realizing it.

But Jeokho shook his head.

I understand why you made that choice, Eunho. But theres still something I dont understand.

Go ahead.

Jeokho asked three questions.

First, doesnt Eunho miss his descendant?

Second, why did Eunho hide his descendant?

Those two were already answered, but the remaining one was unaddressed.

Jeokho asked explicitly.

Why dont you want to meet your grandchildren?

Eunhos descendants were in the main house of this mansion.

If Eunho wanted, he could meet his grandchildren safely inside the mansion without being disturbed by anyone.

The only reason why the descendants havent met him yet was Eunhos intentions.

Youre not the head of the Tiger Clan anymore. Besides, your daughter has already passed away. The future that you read is no longer valid.

Yes, its the result of that price.

There was no trace of regret in Eunhos voice.

It was painful that his daughter has passed away, but if he were given the same scenarios, it seemed like Eunho would make the same choices all over again.

Eunho was determined to sacrifice again for his descendants.

His demeanor only deepened Jeokhos curiosity.

Then wouldnt there be no problem if you met your grandchildren now?

Eunho looked at Jeokho but did not answer right away.

Whatever my reasons were, the fact remains that I abandoned my child. How can I dare meet my grandchildren?

Eunho

Its hard to keep avoiding them. Well meet in Eungwang High sooner or later.

So do you intend to talk to them once you enter school?

Jeokho seemed to want to make Eunho meet his descendants.

Jeokho values his son so much, and Eunho knows that this was the reason why he was adamant.

However, Eunho had no intention of meeting his descendants.

Only if necessary. But Im not going to reveal that Im their grandfather.

Then isnt that meaningless!

Jeokho raised his voice.

His words were still polite, but his anger was conveyed clearly.

I wouldve regretted it even after I died if I hadnt made up with my son. I cant let you, Seoho, Iho, and Jaeho go through the same thing.

You and I are different, Jeokho-nim. But I know you, and I know your descendant well.

Before Eunho continued, Jeokho jumped out of his seat.

He knew he couldnt beat Eunho with words, so he decided to take action.

Lets go see the children now. Theyre still awake.

Jeokho was ready to drag Eunho to the main house at any moment.

Eunho recalled the time when Jeokho came to him and confessed his sins.

At that time, Eunho was forced to entrust Hwangho with a temporary leadership position since he became weaker day by day as a consequence of going against the will of the heavens.

Eunho, who heard of Jeokhos sin, advised that if Jeokho wanted to save his son, he should kill the head of the Bear Clan before confessing to the others.

Scared, Jeokho got up right away and headed to the Bear Clan.

Jeokho looked the same at this moment.

I thought having reflected on his sins for a long time and having made up with his son would change Jeokho-nims temper

Eunho expected Jeokho to understand.

Contrary to his expectations though, the fiery temper of the young Jeokho made an appearance.

It was both pleasant and alarming to see.

I wonder what changes happened when I was asleep that caused Jeokho-nim to be like this?

As if reading Eunhos thoughts, Jeokho smiled and spoke.

That day, Jo Euishin revealed without consent what my son and I did behind each others backs. Thanks to him, I was able to talk openly with my son.

Eunho was deeply impressed.

He heard that Jo Euishin was involved in the reconciliation between the two, but he didnt know that he used such a method.

As expected of a sunbae that he respects.

Although because of that sunbae, Jeokho was about to explode.

Someone should play the role that Jo Euishin did, so Ill drag you over there with my own hands.

Eunho, who had been praising Jo Euishin in his mind, came to his senses when he heard that Jeokho wanted to drag him by force.

I cant beat Jeokho with force.

Even if Jeokho was downgraded to a legendary status, it remained unchanged that he is a warrior who fought on the front lines.

On the other hand, Eunhos light skill and skills were not fit for combat.

He only knows a few boundary skills and healing skills, both unfit for a fistfight.

Eunho was definitely at the bottom of the list in terms of combat power in the Tiger Clan.

Eventually, Eunho decided to use another trick.

I understand, Jeokho-nim. I will meet the children.

Good decision, Eunho! Lets go right now.

Jeokho was delighted, almost wanting to carry Eunho on his back right away.

Eunho smiled softly and calmed Jeokho.

I am in the appearance of a 16-year-old Cheon Eunha at the moment. If I want to meet those children, I have to change to my adult appearance first.

Those children will want to meet you in whatever appearance you have.

You have to be considerate to the children.

Eun Seoho and Eun Iho were 16 years old.

No matter how unimportant apparent age is for royal lineages, it would be strange if their grandfather suddenly introduces himself in the appearance of a child.

Jeokho wanted Eunho to meet his descendants as soon as possible, but he reluctantly nodded.

Then well stop by your annex to get you ready.

They left the hanok annex and headed to where Eunho was staying.

In front of the modern annex, Eunho restrained Jeokho from following him in.

Jeokho-nim, can you call a shuttle in advance?

Alright.

Jeokho accepted without much doubt.

The moment Eunho entered the annex

Click, click.

Wiiiing!

A mechanical sound rang loudly as soon as Jeokhos back was turned, and the whole annex began to close.

All the doors of the modern annex with the latest security tech were locked, and solid windows began to descend over the glass windows.

Dumbfounded, Jeokho shouted as he stared at the closed house.

Eunho! What are you doing!

[Is it not obvious?]

Eunho answered through a piece of communication equipment.

Of course, Jeokho knew what was happening but the situation was just ridiculous.

Jeokho spoke furiously.

Didnt you say yes to what I said? You said you would go see the children!

[I said that I understood what you wanted to say, Jeokho-nim. I will have to meet those children. Someday.]

Eunho didnt lie.

However, it was clear that he tricked Jeokho.

I will break this front door with my own strength!

The furious Jeokho launched his energy waves and shot a red bolt of lightning at the entrance.

Jwiiii! Fwaa!

However, the lightning was offset by the bond between gold and silver.

Hwangho prepared the security features in advance in consideration of Eunhos safety.

But looking at the color of the energy waves, it was clear that Eunho reinforced Hwanghos boundary skill with his own.

Should I just go to the main house and bring out the descendants? No, Eunho would run outside while I go pick them up. Should I call them through a device? Wait, there could be a secret escape route inside the annex

Jeokhos head turned and turned, but he found no answer.

Eunho was checking him through the security camera, but Jeokho couldnt see him.

Eunho might risk going outside. I cant do that!

Jeokho thought hard and spoke threateningly.

If I attack like this with my red thunder, the descendants in the main house would notice!

[The main house is beyond the maze garden built by Hwangho-nim. The wont be any disturbance heard outside.]

Jeokho was angry, but he knew that Eunho was right.

The maze garden and the golden fence have the strongest boundary made by Hwang Jiho, and they were the perfect walls that blocked the mansion from the outside world and the annexes from the main house.

Jeokho finally decided to do what he initially intended.

Then I have no choice. Ill break down this annex!

Fwaaa!

A red thunderbolt struck the house again and collided with the boundary made by Eunho.

* * *

A lot of things happened yesterday and today.

After staying up all night, I was hit by a fantasy shown by the former head of the association.

I met Baekho-gun and my angel who waited for me.

Then, after sleeping in the mansion, I drank poison-flavored medicine and headed to the Tiger Clans garden.

After watching the torture play for several hours in the garden, we heard about Pungbaek and Usa.

Everything was somewhat absurd, but I can confidently say that this situation was the most unreal.

Am I looking at the wrong thing?

Hwang Jiho pressed his temples and Kim Shinrok blinked repeatedly as they watched Jeokho launch bolts of lightning.

Baekho seemed to be worried about his brothers safety, but he was relieved to see that the silver boundary was in good shape.

Looking at the tigers faces, they all seem to think the same thing.

Jeokho, what are you doing.

When Hwang Jiho finally asked, Jeokho responded with a bright face.

Hwangho, youre here. Please get rid of the boundary quickly.

Ill listen to you so stop launching lightning first. I dont want to see my friends fighting right now.

Hwang Jiho looked up at the camera lens installed at the front door.

Eunho, whats going on?

[Jeokho-nim is threatening my freedom.]

I can see that. Lets talk face to face.

[]

Eunho seemed to hesitate

Is he worried about Jeokho?

Or perhaps hes worried that Hwang Jiho and Jeokho are on the same side?

I had no clue what was going on so it was hard to judge.

Eunho, open the door.

[Baekho hyungnim?]

As long as Im here, Jeokho or Hwangho cant hurt you.

Baekhos voice was still cold, but it was relieving to hear.

My main playable character was truly caring for his younger brother.

Though Jeokho seemed to disagree.

Youre going to defend him because youre his brother?

I dont think Jeokho is in any position to say that, knowing that hed do the same for his son.

Kim Shinrok was here, witnessing everything going on.

Is that really okay?

Kim Shinrok wasnt reacting much, but he was probably thinking he was seeing something he shouldnt see.

I understand that the Tiger Clan values their families.

Click.

Click, click.

Perhaps he believed Baekho-gun, Eunho started to open the door.

While the door was opening, Eunhos voice came up again.

[I cant keep my hyungs waiting outside.]

Soon, the door opened and Eunho appeared.
