Chapter 475: Infiltrating the Law Enforcement Hall
Joo So-yang and Lee Ye-seol had returned!
The news quickly began to spread throughout the Cheonmu Alliance.
Joo So-yang, the mistress of the Cheonmu Alliance, and Lee Ye-seol, the most promising candidate for succession. The influence these two women held was beyond imagination, and their return sent the entire Alliance into a stir.
"What? Joo So-yang is back?"
Lee Jae-won’s face brightened as a smile spread across his lips.
"Yes, sir. I am told she is currently resting in her quarters," the warrior Paeng Man-do replied with a nod.
"And she’s with Lee Ye-seol?"
"That is correct."
"…And they didn't come here first?"
Lee Jae-won’s brow furrowed slightly.
"Yes. It seems they went straight to rest, perhaps exhausted from the arduous journey."
"…I see."
Lee Jae-won spoke in a calm tone, but internally, he was beginning to seethe more than ever before.
Those fucking bitches! If they’ve crawled back home, they should have come to see the head of the household who’s been working his bone to the marrow!
Irritation flared within him because the mother and daughter hadn't come to greet him immediately. What kind of insolent behavior was this? When one returns home, one should pay respects to the patriarch who earns the money and works himself to death. How could they just head straight to their quarters? It was an utterly incomprehensible situation.
Fuck, this is why you can't trust these Chinese bitches. Did they learn their manners from a goddamn joke book?
Lee Jae-won began to relentlessly curse the two women in his mind.
This would never happen in the Land of Courtesy in the East!
He fumed with rage at the perceived slight.
"Shall I go and bring them to you?" Paeng Man-do asked, sensing the ominous atmosphere radiating from Lee Jae-won.
"No, leave them be. They must have suffered on such a long journey. I wish to let them rest."
Lee Jae-won spoke while feigning as much composure as possible. Though his anger was peaking, he didn't want to show it. After all, he was a virtuous man—always rational, cool-headed, and overflowing with chivalry.
Those fucking sluts are ignoring me!
Of course, his inner thoughts were entirely different.
"You may leave now. I wish to be alone for a moment."
"Understood."
Paeng Man-do bowed slightly and exited the room.
Creeeeeak.
Thud.
As soon as the door closed, Lee Jae-won released his energy to form a Qi Barrier.
"Kuaaaaaaaaagh!"
Then, he let out a scream of pure rage. He was beyond annoyed. The thing he hated most in the world was being ignored. Having been looked down upon countless times during his school days, being ignored was practically a trauma for him. And now, not only his wife but even his daughter was ignoring him. How could he not be furious?
Where the hell did that bitch pick up such bad habits?
Lee Jae-won began to tear into Joo So-yang. Whenever she returned in the past, she had always visited him first to pay her respects. For her to suddenly go to her quarters without even a greeting made his blood boil. It felt as if something he once held firmly in his hand had slipped away.
Should I go and drag her out by the hair? Or not?
Lee Jae-won fell into deep thought, debating whether to use this as an excuse for a massive fight or just let it slide. After agonizing over it for a while, he finally made a decision.
Let’s see when she finally comes to greet me.
He decided to do nothing. He intended to wait until she came to him. If she came to greet him before the day was out, he would find it in his vast heart to forgive her, even offering sympathy for how difficult her journey must have been.
However, if she let the day pass, he intended to impose a suitable sanction.
I won't stick my cock in that bitch's pussy for the rest of her life.
His plan was to withhold sex. He knew exactly how lewd of a woman she was. She was always acting as if she were trying to seduce him. Withholding his cock would be a truly monumental punishment for her. If she failed to show up today, he would fuck every one of his other wives but her, making her feel the sting of deprivation.
Choose wisely, Joo So-yang.
Lee Jae-won’s eyes began to gleam with a sinister light.

"Mother, is it really alright if we don't go greet Father?" Lee Ye-seol asked Joo So-yang curiously.
"I find him unpleasant to look at," Joo So-yang replied flatly.
"Why is that?"
"I no longer love him… and just being near him makes me feel nauseous. To think of another man besides Lord Sun-woo… Ugh."
Joo So-yang made a gagging gesture, expressing her adamant refusal. It was a treatment so harsh that one could never imagine she was talking about a man she had once loved to death.
"…But he is your husband in the eyes of the world."
"He may be so publicly, but the husband in my heart is Lord Sun-woo. A woman must maintain her chastity. Why should I go seeking out some strange man?"
Joo So-yang spoke with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Still…"
"If you're so worried, why don't you go greet him first?"
"Eww… no way."
At Joo So-yang’s suggestion, Lee Ye-seol shook her head vigorously.
"Why not?"
"Dad is just… it’s uncomfortable being alone with him."
"Uncomfortable?" Joo So-yang asked, looking puzzled.
"The way he looks at me is creepy… sometimes it just feels disgusting," Lee Ye-seol said, her face contorted in revulsion.
"You’ve never said anything like that before, have you?"
"I only realized I felt that way recently."
"Recently?"
"Yes. Back then, I just felt a sense of dissonance, but thinking back on it now, it was just creepy and disgusting."
She spoke as if reminiscing.
"Then there’s nothing for it," Joo So-yang said calmly. "Let’s not go until he calls for us."
"Okay!"
Hearing her mother’s words, Lee Ye-seol gave a bright, satisfied smile.
"By the way, Ye-seol, do you know where Lord Sun-woo went?"
"I’m not sure… He said he had somewhere he needed to go urgently and then just vanished."
Lee Ye-seol shook her head.
"Sigh… I was hoping to do it in a proper bed for once…"
Joo So-yang spoke with a look of regret. They had always burned with passion in the cramped, hard confines of a carriage. Because of that, she had been looking forward to making love on a soft bed once they reached the Cheonmu Alliance, but now that they were here, the most important person, Sun-woo, was nowhere to be seen. He had simply disappeared. She couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"…You’re right. It’s a shame."
Lee Ye-seol also pouted her lips in disappointment.
"…Ye-seol."
Then, Joo So-yang called out to her daughter with a meaningful expression.
"Yes?"
"Why don't we enjoy ourselves until Lord Sun-woo returns?"
"…Just the two of us?" Lee Ye-seol asked back, startled.
They had never once enjoyed themselves with just the two of them, without Sun-woo.
"Two is better than one… and if Lord Sun-woo sees us doing it together, I’m sure he’ll be delighted to pounce on us."
Joo So-yang’s face flushed slightly. The mere fact that she had made such a taboo proposal to her daughter sent a surge of excitement through her.
"…That’s… embarrassing."
Lee Ye-seol’s face also turned red at the suggestion. The situation was incredibly erotic just to imagine.
"We’ve done it a few times already… I’m sure we can do it together."
Joo So-yang slowly placed her hand on her daughter’s shoulder.
Twitch.
Lee Ye-seol flinched. Just the touch alone made her feel strange.
"…Let’s… do it on the bed… Mother…" she stammered shyly.
"Let’s do that."
With a bright smile, Joo So-yang moved toward the bed. Lee Ye-seol followed closely behind her, like a duckling following its mother.

Soon, the thick, sticky moans of the two women began to erupt from the quarters. It was incredibly lewd.

Sun-woo, maintaining his Formless Shadow Stealth Technique, began heading toward the Law Enforcement Hall. He was there to meet Paeng Ga-ryeon, the person responsible for completely ruining Jang Sam’s life.
He passed the Black Tortoise Hall, then the Phoenix Hall, and crossed a small pond. He continued walking straight ahead. After walking for some time, a massive building with a plaque reading 'Law Enforcement Hall' came into view.
He had arrived. At the starting point of his ruined life.
…The Law Enforcement Hall.
Facing the building, Sun-woo stood in a daze for a moment. Only two years ago, he had struggled desperately to escape this place. Thinking about entering it again of his own volition made his emotions feel complicated.
Whew.
Sun-woo took a deep breath and slowly began to move his feet toward the place where everything had been destroyed.
He walked right past the gate guards. No one could detect his stealth technique, which left neither a presence nor a form. Sun-woo was able to infiltrate the interior with ease.
Once inside, he moved slowly, checking the rooms one by one. He was looking for Paeng Ga-ryeon. Since he had been a squad leader of the Black Tortoise Unit in the past, he was naturally ignorant of the Law Enforcement Hall’s layout and had no choice but to search every room.
The first room was filled with various documents. It seemed to be an office for paperwork. He moved on without hesitation.
The second room was filled with torture devices. It appeared to be an interrogation room, likely used for extracting forced confessions. Sun-woo moved on again, knowing this wasn't what he was looking for.
After some time had passed…
Damn, this place is huge.
Sun-woo cursed inwardly. No matter how much he searched, he couldn't find Paeng Ga-ryeon.
Is she not even here?
He even began to reasonably suspect that she might be away.
This isn't working.
Wuuuuuuuung.
Sun-woo began to spread his Qi sense wide. Immediately, he felt numerous presences within the Law Enforcement Hall. Every single one of them displayed the characteristic overbearing nature of the Paeng Clan. Sensing this, Sun-woo realized that she had filled most of the Hall’s positions with her own clansmen.
I’ll find her eventually if I check everywhere.
Sun-woo thought to himself. He would eventually run into Paeng Ga-ryeon if he investigated every source of energy he felt. He began to move diligently, eager to face his enemy as soon as possible.

After some time…
[Haa… haa… ahh!]
A faint sound began to reach his ears.
What’s that?
Feeling curious, Sun-woo focused on the faint sound. He circulated his internal energy to maximize his sense of hearing.
[Haaaang… haaaaang… hyaaaang!]
Intense moaning began to ring clearly in his ears.
"Heh."
Sun-woo let out a hollow laugh. He didn't know who it was, but anyone fucking in the sacred Law Enforcement Hall certainly wasn't normal. What was the Law Enforcement Hall, after all? It was the guardian institution that established and enforced the laws of the Cheonmu Alliance. Not only that, it was the place where countless criminals were brought in and handed heavy sentences. In modern terms, it was equivalent to the Supreme Court. How could anyone commit such an obscene act in such a place?
The Law Enforcement Hall has really gone to the dogs.
Sun-woo shook his head. If the Hall Master, Paeng Ga-ryeon, found out about this, even as corrupt as she was, she would surely have roared in fury. Her pride in the Law Enforcement Hall was immense.
That aside, what kind of ballsy bastards are going at it this hard? And in the sacred Law Enforcement Hall, of all places?
Suddenly, Sun-woo’s curiosity was piqued. He wanted to see the faces of the bold pair who would dare such a thing. He moved quickly toward the source of the moaning.
[Haaaaaaaaang! Haaaaaaaaang!]
Following the sound wasn't difficult. His already superhuman hearing, further enhanced by internal energy, made it feel as if the sex was happening right in front of him.
After walking a bit further, Sun-woo felt a sense of bewilderment. The sound wasn't coming from a room, but from the floor.
What?
Puzzled, Sun-woo slowly crouched down and pressed his ear to the floor.
[Haaaaaaang! Faster! Faster!]
The moaning grew even more intense.
It’s definitely here.
Sun-woo’s expression turned grave. It seemed there was a separate passage leading to a basement.
Wuuuuuuuung.
Sun-woo extended a finger and began to concentrate his internal energy at the tip. Then, he slowly pressed it against the floor.
Sssssss.
The floor began to crumble away until a hole was bored straight through.
Oh.
Sun-woo felt a surge of triumph. The floor wasn't as thick as he had expected. Having made a hole, he pressed his eye against it. He intended to observe the protagonists of the moaning.
"Wait, what the fuck?"
A curse immediately escaped Sun-woo’s lips. An entirely unexpected person was fucking right before his eyes.
