Kaien remained completely silent after leaving the frightened merchant group behind.

Chapter 112: Terrifying Sound
Kaien remained completely silent after leaving the frightened merchant group behind.Li San followed closely beside him, though the uneasiness inside her chest continued growing heavier with every passing minute.The strange presence Kaien had sensed earlier only seemed to become stronger the farther they advanced through the ancient forest.It felt disturbingly familiar.It also felt deeply wrong.The oppressive silence surrounding the jungle never changed despite the considerable distance they had already traveled.No beasts emerged from the shadows.No insects disturbed the still air.Even the wind itself seemed unwilling to move through the towering trees surrounding them.Several more minutes passed before Kaien suddenly came to a complete stop.His expression darkened.Several yards ahead, something lay partially hidden beneath thick vines and fallen leaves. Li San cautiously stepped closer before covering her mouth in horror.A
Chapter 111: Mysterious Muzan Jungle
Kaien and Li San continued walking deeper into the Muzan Jungle while remaining constantly alert.The strange atmosphere surrounding the forest continued becoming increasingly unsettling with every step they took.Neither of them spoke for several minutes because both instinctively focused upon every sound and every movement surrounding them.The deeper they traveled into the jungle, the stranger the silence became.No birds sang from the trees overhead.No insects buzzed through the thick vegetation covering the ground beneath their feet.No beasts could be heard moving through the undergrowth despite the Muzan Jungle being famous throughout the surrounding lands for sheltering countless dangerous monsters and terrifying creatures.Li San glanced around while her expression gradually became more serious than before.“Aren't there supposed to be terrifying beasts located here? We haven’t seen anything.” Kaien nodded while continuing to observe ev
Chapter 110: Unwelcomed
Back inside the grand central hall of the family estate.Han Seojun’s parents were forced to kneel before the entire main family while several guards surrounded them from every direction.They did not allow either of them even the slightest opportunity to move.Han Seojun’s uncle sat comfortably upon the head seat while his expression remained dark with barely restrained anger.Everyone present could sense that his patience had already reached its absolute limit.“So this is the kind of worthless son both of you decided to raise together.”Han Seojun’s father lowered his head while speaking with obvious panic.“My lord, please forgive him. He is still young and must have acted without thinking.”His uncle scoffed loudly before slamming his hand against the table hard enough to make everyone flinch.“Do not insult my intelligence with such pathetic excuses. That boy knew exactly what he was doing before running away. He stole something that ne
Chapter 109: Evil Catapult
Han Seojun’s heart pounded violently against his chest as he immediately darted behind one of the enormous cargo containers stacked near the border crossing. He forced himself to remain still while desperately controlling his breathing. Every instinct screamed at him to keep running, yet one careless movement would expose his hiding place and destroy everything he had sacrificed to reach this point. He slowly lowered himself closer to the ground, carefully peering through a narrow gap between the wooden crates while watching the movements of his uncle’s guards. Several painfully long minutes passed while Han Seojun remained hidden behind the containers without daring to shift his position even once. Sweat slowly trickled down the side of his face despite the cool morning air surrounding the border, yet he resisted every urge to wipe it away. His legs gradually began aching from remaining crouched for such a long time, but he silently endured the discomfort while keeping
Chapter 108: Caught?!
Instead, he simply moved closer to her while continuing forward.Li San noticed the subtle movement.Although she did not understand the reason behind it, she found herself comforted by it.Meanwhile, several hundred feet behind them, the atmosphere surrounding Zhao Kan and the Black Dragon Brotherhood was considerably less peaceful.Joon-Hak watched Kaien’s retreating figure while his expression gradually became darker.His patience had long since disappeared.After several minutes of silence, he finally spoke.“We should finish him here before reaching the kingdom.”Several Black Dragon members nodded in agreement.One of them crossed his arms while glaring toward the road ahead.“He humiliated us publicly and interfered with our business without suffering any consequences.”Another member clenched his fists.“The longer we wait, the more annoying this situation becomes.”Joon-Hak’s eyes remained fixed upon Kaien.“We already know where he is going. We already know he has no allies
Chapter 107: Unnecessary Worry
Back inside the servant quarters of the family estate, Han Seojun quietly packed the few belongings he intended to take with him before carefully hiding the black invitation beneath several folded clothes inside his travel bundle. He owned almost nothing besides a few spare outfits, some dried food he had secretly saved, his father’s old water flask, and the invitation that represented his only chance to change his family’s future.Every movement remained careful because discovery meant failure before his journey had even begun.A gentle knock suddenly came from the door.“Seojun, are you awake. I brought you breakfast.”Recognizing his mother’s voice, Han hurriedly hid everything beneath the loose floorboards before answering.“You can come inside. I am already awake.”His mother entered carrying a simple wooden tray before placing it beside him with her usual warm smile despite the obvious exhaustion written across her face.“You worked very hard yesterday, you should eat more toda
