Chapter Title: Time to Go Home
#1
That night, the Southern Alliance’s city lights flickered under heavy clouds.
Thunder rumbled in the distance.
Hyeon-do stood atop the inn roof, watching the sky.
Behind him, Jin-hyeok joined.
“They’re scared,” he said.
“Good.”
“You like this kind of pressure?”
“I don’t avoid it.”
They sat in silence.
Lightning flashed.
#2
Back in the hall of the Tang Clan’s southern envoy, a private meeting was underway.
Four masked figures stood before the envoy.
“They won’t bow,” he said. “So we’ll make them kneel.”
The assassins nodded.
One stepped forward.
“Target?”
“Peng Hyeon-do.”
#3
The next morning, a merchant wagon exploded just outside the city gate.
It wasn’t carrying goods.
It was carrying a message.
Inside the charred remains was a dagger.
Its hilt bore a red spider lily.
A Tang calling card.
Hyeon-do examined it calmly.
“Time to go home,” he said.
“To Peng territory?”
“No. To war.”
