In that moment, the guards behind the Golden Dragon Clan Leader all drew their swords and stepped forward in unison.
"Who sent the assassin?" "Protect the Clan Leader!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Almost simultaneously with the guards blocking the Clan Leader's front, doors opened from all directions, and warriors rushed in.
"Intruder!" "Protect the Clan Leader!"
In an instant, the number of warriors swelled to over twenty, filling the spacious room with a tense atmosphere.
Feeling the hostile glares from all around, Baek Su-ryong scratched his head and looked around.
"It seems things have gotten a bit bigger than I thought..."
"... Now?"
"What are we going to do? We're all dead!"
Heon Won-gang shook his head as if he had no answers, while Yeomin stomped her feet with a face that looked like she might cry.
The head guard stepped forward and shouted to his subordinates, "Immediately bind those guys! Capture them and find out who is behind this!"
"Put away your weapons."
As a calm voice echoed in the room, the once fierce guards flinched and quickly sheathed their weapons.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
As the Golden Dragon Clan Leader rose from his seat, the guards parted to the sides and knelt.
The Golden Dragon Clan Leader stepped forward, smiling warmly as he looked at Baek Su-ryong.
