The place the Kong Soo Chan led me was a manor some twenty li from Mu Han. It was

a paradise that was beneath a mountain and next to a stream.

Where is this place?

This is a garden that I recently bought. This will be the headquarters of our merchant guild.

Oh! So you are finally going to create the merchant guild?

Although this is nothing, I wanted to show it to you.

What do you mean this is nothing? Won't this be the place that we will write our story? The story of how this garden came to be can be left in the history as legends.

I showed signs of amazement as I overlooked the manor; it was better than I expected. Kong Soo

Chan was someone that went beyond my expectation.

Have you decided on the name?

Shouldnt you name is master Byuk?

No, didnt I tell you before manager Kong? You should take full responsibility for this. So you

should name it.

After a moment Kong Soo Chan said, Then I will call it the Solar Star Merchant Guild. Although it

may be small right now, I am sure in future it will be as big as the sun that lights up the heaven.

Good! Let's call it that.

Thus name of the merchant guild was decided. Since this was the first merchant guild that I

created I was very excited.

Shall we go in?

I followed Kong Soo Chan into the manor.

It was very simple but very well build. There was a practice ground in the center surrounded by three buildings. The central building was the biggest and the two on the sided were about half the size of the central one. Looking around there was nothing that I disliked about it. Since it was Kong Soo Chan I knew that he was going to be very careful when picking these things.

Thank you for your hard work.

You praise me too much. I just bought a good place with the money that you have given me.

Kong Soo Chan answered.

It's not my money but our money.

Master. Kong Soo Chan started laughing. He was truly happy knowing what I said came from

my heart.

Then we started to talk about how we were going to operate and expand, but I told him that I was

going to leave everything in his capable hands.

With things like this, it was better to let them run things without too much obstruction, so I decided to take a step back. The most important thing that a leader must do is finding someone who is

capable and leaving them to their own accord.

Before I left I handed him the book that I found in Ya Chuns secret vault.

Ah, can you please look through this?

What is it?

I found it in the San Dong Dark Guilds secret vault. Please look over it when you have to

time.

Yes. I will do so. Kong Soo Chan carefully received the book.

Kwang Du came to the manor later that day. After looking around the place, he raised his sleeves and started cleaning the place.

If you need a janitor you know where to find one.

He wasnt ashamed of himself being a servant at one time. He was rather proud of it.

If I wasnt the Byuk Clans servant how could I have met you, Young Master?

With him being like this how could I not adore him?

Hey punk, you should get some more people to help you. You might get hurt cleaning this

large place by yourself.

Are you worrying about me right now young master?

Of course.

I think I am moved.

But, maybe I want this manor to be cleaned a bit better.

Ahit would have been better if you hadnt said that last sentence.

Hahaha.

***

Although I had a manor, I still stayed at the inn.

I was only visiting since it was the first day, but from now I will operate it in secret separate from the Byuk Clan. I instructed Kong Soo Chan to do the same, and operate secretly.

That afternoon, Baek Pyo brought two people with him when he came to see me.

There are people I have to introduce you to.

The people that he introduced me to were Baek Pyos new subordinates Yang Chung and Myung

Do. They were originally members of the Fierce Guard Sect but they resigned from their work and became Baek Pyos new subordinates.

He is my master.

Yang Chung and Myung Do were both surprised to see me. It seems that Baek Pyo didnt

describe them to me what type of person I was.

Since I was so young it may have surprised them, but maybe it could have sparked some interest.

They were thinking along the line of, Since I was someone that Baek Pyo would receive as

master, I must have potential as a martial artist.

I am called Yang Chung.

I am called Myung Do.

Baek Pyo emphasized their loyalty to him once more, They are like my family.

So I said, Since Warrior Baek trusts them, I will also trust them. But I will still test them.

Yes!

I smiled. The most important thing that I needed right now was loyal subordinates. Subordinates

that I could trust.

No matter how much money you had, no matter how many people you can gathered, everything would disappear if you didnt pick the right person. They would be gone just as fast as they

came.

After sending the two of them away I was with Baek Pyo alone. Then I gave him a letter from his wife.

Here take this.

It was the letter that his wife, Jung Young, asked me to give him. Reading the contents of the letter his eyes started to water. He probably wanted to see his wife and son.

He looked at me with fiery eyes. Most likely it would have said something along the line that my

mother is taking care of them like family.

What is it? Is there some part about it cursing at me?

Baek Pyo didnt know how to take a joke.

No. There would never be something like that.

He was someone who didnt know how to take a joke, maybe it was because of my previous life.

However, it was too soon to end this mood. Since I had a surprise for him still.

Now, take this.

I gave him a bag. When he opened the bag and looked, he was surprised. It was full of bank

notes!

There are three hundred thousand nyang in there.

Baek Pyo was once again surprised. Although he saw something like this numerous time when he

was still protecting me, this was his first time handling such a large amount of money.

Can you make a Secret Corps with this amount of money?

A Secret Corps?

I dont care how many people are in it. There can be ten or hundred. But they must be fully capable of accomplishing any mission. I want you to create the Ultimate Secret Corps

Looking down at the money one more time, Baek Pyo looked determined. Just thinking about

creating such a Corps made him excited. He was also moved that I trusted him with such an

important task as well as gave him this huge sum of money without hesitation.

Please, leave it to me.

This wasnt the only thing I was going to give him.

I took out the Heavenly Origin Sword from my waist and gave it to him.

What is this?

It is a gift. Please use this sword from now on.

Isnt this the sword that you were using?

Didnt I get a better sword because of you?

Baek Pyo already knew that there was no sword in the world that could ever compare to Divine

Sword of King Shura.

Can I take it out?

I nodded and he took the sword out of the sheath.

Shiinng

Seeing the blade of the sword Baek Pyo was surprised because it wasnt an ordinary blade.

Its a divine sword. His voice was flustered. But it feels like Ive seen it somewhere.

Divine swords give off similar feelings.

I only used the Heavenly Origin Sword for a few months in my previous life, and that was a long time ago. Since I disguised it, there was no way for Baek Pyo to recognize it. Just with him realizing that it was familiar to him showed how keen his senses were.

I cant take something like this. He returned it to me.

Then I returned it back to him and said, A man who is going to become the leader of Ultimate

Secret Corps should at least have something like this.

Master.

It still seems that he didnt want to take it.

Yes, this is a very precious sword, but how can it be more important than you? To tell you the truth this is not a gift but my shackles. A shackle so that you can never leave my side, and you still dont want to take this sword?

He couldnt resist anymore. He was reaffirming his loyalty right now.

I treated his wife and son like family, I trusted him with the money to set up a secret corps, and now I was giving him a divine sword. How could he not give his full loyalty to me?

I will take your shackles with pride.

***

Next, I called Silver and Spoon.

To be honest I didnt trust them completely yet.

Of course, they had done the tasks that I asked them wonderfully, but that wasnt enough they weren't picked by me, but Jung Yeo.

So I decided to divide my trust. I wasnt going to test too harshly.

Here is fifty thousand nyang.

Seeing this large amount of money the two of them were surprised.

I want you to create an information sect with this. Of course, it will be impossible to create an

information sect that expands the whole Central Plain, so I want you to focus on Mu Han and

San Dong right now.

If they used up all of the fifty thousand nyang I was going to give them fifty thousand nyang more.

The total amount that I was going to invest in this was three hundred thousand nyang.

I would determine their value and loyalty by the result of this.

I know some who are reliable.

I know a few as well.

I nodded and said, After you create an information sect I will personally create another sect that will support you.

That was the corps that Baek Pyo was creating.

Ah! Thank You!

They were happier than when they received their money. When I first gave them their order I took care of their safety. Since I am taking care of their safety for the second time they

were truly moved.

I already knew, if things went as planned I must take good care of them. If I lose in the information war then I will lose in the actual battle.

I believe the information sect is the most important.

The two of them were showing their willingness, We will never betray your trust.

Good!

The two of them left the inn.

***

The last person that I called was Kwang Du.

Do you have something for me?

Of course.

Kwang Dus eyes brightened.

I only have you, young master! What is it? Is it the cultivation medicine?

Something better!

Ohhh! Is it an elixir of youth?

Something better!

I took a wine bottle from my bag.

Can it be Ehh, of course it cant be.

I just want us to share a drink.

What! Just a drink? You gave others sword, money, and trust but for me, you just give me wine?

I wanted to give you something but I gave it all away.

I know, I know how you are. You believe that things will be spoiled if you keep if for too long.

Although Kwang Du was pouting he didnt feel all that bad.

Sharing the last drink with him, he knew how much it meant.

As we were exchanging drinks we talked about things that we didnt have to time to talk about.

How are Gaju-nim and Madam? Are they well?

They are the same.

What about Song He?

She is well. She is growing really fast.

She is at the time when one grows fast. It's not been so long but I want to see everyone. How is Chief Kwan? Is he training like a madman still?

He may surpass you soon at this rate.

Shit! I need to start training in the morning.

About the time we finished the bottle Kwang Du asked me a question, How is Miss Do?

Do Soon-ee? She got more beautiful.

He gave a sigh.

I dont think it is over.

I know that you are trying to console me.

No, I am not trying to console you.

What do you mean?

I think you rushed things a bit too much. You should have taken things slower since it was love at first sight.

Thats what I think as well, but do you want me to hate her? Its already a thing of the past.

Since it didnt end badly, I still think there is hope.

Isnt it already too late?

A humans heart changes at least twelve times a day. That is the nature of a human. Do you think

a girl's heart is any different?

Kwang Dus eyes brightened.

So what should I do now?

You must show her how much you changed. So that Do Soon-ee will have second thoughts.

There was this side of this person? Had he this ability? Something like that.

Just like you young master?

It seems thats how I was to Kwang Du, to Song Hwa Rin, and to everyone.

Yes, like me.

He said with a sigh, This problem between a man and a woman is too difficult.

Yes, it is very difficult.

Do you think I can do it?

Thats not important. Whats important is that you do it.

Seeing me raise up my glass he roughly bumped his glass with mine.

There was new hope in Kwang Dus face. Yes, he was still in his springtime of youth, this was how he should live his life.

I didnt need subordinates who were just strong. I wanted all my subordinates to become happy.

Since unhappiness could hinder their full potential.

Since that was the thing that I wanted to achieve as well.
