– Human, are you excited?

Raon asked in an excited voice after seeing Cale smile.

– Human, can I go up to see if there are any hidden safes?

He nodded his head.

“Yeah. Find any and all of them. I’ll go through them later.”

– I got it, human! Safe searching is fun!

Cale felt a gust of wind brush past him in the air.

Raon seemed to have excitedly flown upstairs.

His gaze headed down.

“Ugh.”

The administrator was gagged and dragged over by Ron.

The five swordsmen of the Blood Cult were already knocked unconscious.

“… When……?”

A shocked Pinnacle Demon came all the way down the stairs and looked at Ron with a blank stare on her face.

Ron calmly commented.

“I moved when they were all focused on the young master-nim.”

He then put on an extremely benign smile and looked at Cale.

‘Scary old man.’

Cale noticed that Ron was feeling quite refreshed right now.

He seemed to enjoy moving his body like this for the first time in a long while.

“Hae-il-nim.”

Choi Han approached Cale. Ron immediately handed the administrator over to Choi Han and spoke to Cale.

“Young master-nim, may I go into the cave?”

“But it’s full of water?”

“I’ll have to remove some water as needed as I go.”

“Sure then.”

He was smiling so benignly that Cale felt as if he had no choice but to say yes.

Cale saw Ron heading into the cave as soon as he responded in an unsettled tone and looked away.

He did so while praying for the safety of the Blood Cult member in the cave.

But he made sure to add this on.

“Also see where the cave leads to.”

“Yes, young master-nim.”

It would be quite useful to know where the Blood Cult member from the Pure Silver Merchant guild was running away toward.

“What should we do with you?”

Cale crouched down and made eye contact with the kneeling administrator.

The bastard, who could not speak because he was gagged, was glaring at Cale with bloodshot eyes.

“He may try to kill himself if you take out the gag.”

Cale nodded his head at the Pinnacle Demon’s words of caution.

“I have no plans on chatting with him anyway, Pinnacle Demon-nim.”

‘Hmm.’

He looked at the administrator as if he was worried about something before opening his mouth.

“What number are you?”

“…….”

He just silently glared at Cale.

“It looks like you or the bastard in the cave is the leader of this place. I also think that the two of you have a decently important mission from the Blood Cult.”

The Sichuan branch which was the starting point of the Pure Silver Merchant guild…

The person in charge of a branch that was basically the main location should hold a high position in the Blood Cult.

“But you aren’t as strong as I expected.”

Based on the Martial Arts world’s standards, he thought that someone in the Unrestrained Realm would be in charge of this place.

The Pure Silver Merchant guild was the bridge between the Blood Cult and the Central Plains after all.

“…….”

Cale stared at the man who was still glaring at him and chuckled.

“I guess none of the important stuff is here.”

The Pinnacle Demon responded.

“What do you mean by that?”

“The Pure Silver Merchant guild’s defenses were more lacking than I expected, Pinnacle Demon-nim.”

Cale shared the things he noticed while his friends were taking over the merchant guild.

“At least half of the workers on the first floor seemed like real merchant guild employees.”

They seemed like they had no knowledge of martial arts.

The strong members seemed too weak as well.

“Also, I don’t think they would have always had this much gunpowder in the building.”

Cale pointed to the wet gunpowder.

“If these gunpowder explode on the smallest of impact, there is even less reason they would keep it in the basement of this busy and chaotic building. Unless they had a death wish of course.”

“…Then you are saying that the gunpowder was recently moved here?’”

“Yes, Pinnacle Demon-nim.”

There were quite a lot of rumors about the Blood Cult in the Central Plains right now.

Of course, no details had been shared. Details about things like living jiangshis were not described.

The only thing that was known was that the Blood Cult was aiming for the Central Plains.

“They must have pulled out as soon as the rumors started spreading.”

The Pinnacle Demon gasped in admiration.

“If what you say is correct, the Blood Cult truly is amazing.”

The rumors mentioned nothing about the Pure Silver Merchant guild at all.

Nonetheless, the Blood Cult had cleared out the Pure Silver Merchant guild.

Cale nodded his head in agreement.

The time that the Blood Cult pulled back their cards all around the Central Plains and tried to hide was probably…

“They probably did it once they realized that they lost contact with their living jiangshis, especially the Heavenly Demon.”
