Episode 747: An unexpected announcement
While Galmu and Joo Jun-nam were talking.
Knock- knock- knock-!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Joo Jun-nam’s heart started to beat faster.
‘Has Son Oh-gong finally arrived?’
He ran hurriedly and opened the door of the Thousand-In Tower.
There was a stranger standing outside.
“Who are you?”
Joo Jun-nam was so disappointed that he spoke rudely without thinking.
This stranger, who seemed to be in his early thirties, had a ferocious face and a mean air about him, and he seemed like a bad person at first glance.
As soon as he saw Joo Jun-nam, he said with a little fear.
“I… I, I… I came to look for Your Majesty. Someone asked me to deliver something to Your Majesty.”
‘huh?’
Joo Jun-nam started to get excited inside at those words.
“I am Joo Jun Nam.”
“The person who asked me to do this is an old man with the surname Son. He asked me to give this item to Confucius.”
The stranger handed the box he was holding to Joo Jun-nam.
“Wait a minute, don’t go and follow me.”
Joo Jun-nam carried the box and forcibly took the stranger to the main hall on the first floor of Cheonindap.
Not long after, Joo Jun-nam’s scream echoed through the main hall.
Because when I opened the box, I saw Im Buk-jin’s head.
Joo Jun-nam inspected it carefully several times.
“There’s no doubt about it. This is Lim Buk-jin’s head!”
He was surprised and delighted at the same time.
Galmuu also checked again with a shocked face.
“It’s real. The ‘Geukjishinupgung’ alien energy remains in my blood. This cannot be forged. I saw it with my eyes, so it is definitely real.”
He couldn’t believe it even after seeing it.
‘Are you saying that Bukjin was really killed? That his tenacious lifeline was cut off like this?’
Galmu looked blank for a while, not knowing what to say.
“Hahahahahahaha, I’m dead, I’m finally dead!”
Joo Jun-nam checked repeatedly to see if Buk-jin’s head was right, then tilted his head back and started laughing loudly.
The sight of him laughing with his whole body shaking looked like someone suffering from epilepsy.
“Okay, you can go now.”
He threw ten gold coins at the strange man and told him to go.
The stranger was suddenly delighted when he ran out of money and kept expressing his thanks.
Joo Jun-nam suddenly discovered that this stranger’s face was very handsome.
The facial features were neat and the atmosphere was very elegant.
After barely calming down his excited heart, Joo Jun-nam began to have another expectation.
If the three Son Oh-gongs could come to the Central Empire Alliance delegation to find themselves and keep in touch, they could be kept under their control in the future and used for whatever purpose they needed.
“Brother Gal, I should visit the delegation’s base once.”
He left the Cheonindap with a face filled with joy.

After an hour had passed.
The capital’s upper-class aristocrats received the news almost simultaneously.
It was news that Im Buk-jin had really died.
This time it came from a really trustworthy source, so there was absolutely no way it could be wrong.
With this, the ‘Im Buk-jin’s life and death’ incident, which had been controversial for several days, has been completely concluded.
Before this news could spread to the citizens, all the bigwigs in the capital heard about it.
Reactions to this varied.
In the palace, cries of sorrow and anger continued for a while, and a fourth wrinkle appeared on the forehead of the left upper chamberlain.
So No-tae of the So family spent her time alone and quietly.
Tae-Heo Lim of the Im clan kept muttering while tapping the abacus with a confused expression.
“No, no, no……”
The Emperor of the Aurora Empire’s embassy, Prince Wu Chin, sighed with a bashful face and said.
“What a pity. I wanted that guy to be mine, but I didn’t think he’d die so soon… Oh my.”
Ugaa rolled her eyes.
“How did this happen? She didn’t interfere.”
Time passed by without stopping.
That night, you wouldn’t know how many people couldn’t sleep, and how many people were happy all night long.

The next morning dawned.
It was a rare day with clean air and clear skies.
In the mansion of the So family, one of the ten largest families in the empire, located on Jianye Street, people were bustling around from the morning, hanging lanterns and decorating the five-colored cloth.
Today was the day when the new head of the So family inherited the throne.
From morning until noon, many distinguished guests came bearing gifts to celebrate.
However, a suspicious aura flowed strangely in that sloping atmosphere.
At noon that day.
The restaurant was packed with customers who kept coming in.
Most of the people who came to Sobu today were high-ranking nobles who held the highest power in the capital, and there was not a single person of low status.
Even several princes and princesses attended the event.
Representatives from the other nine of the ten capital cities also appeared one after another, without exception.
Except for Noh Tae-ya and So-yeon, the leaders of the seven branches of the So family had already arrived and were each entertaining their guests.
In particular, Soil and Sowon greeted the guests with bright smiles and cheerful expressions.
Deep in their eyes was an unmistakable anticipation and excitement.
“Your Majesty the Left is coming in.”
When the subordinate shouted loudly, everyone’s eyes turned to the small gate.
People who didn’t know they would be here until the left looked really surprised.
That would be the case, as the Left Minister rarely participated in such family events.
“Haha, it is an honor that His Majesty the Left has come all the way here.”
Soil and Sowon both greeted the guests with smiles on their faces.
The left-hand man nodded slightly.
But he immediately went to find Soyeon, as if he had no intention of talking to either of them.
“What about So Notaeya?”
At those words, the two people paused for a moment and then slowly opened their mouths.
“The old man is in the backyard. He must have had a hard time sleeping last night, so he’s resting a little. He’ll probably be out in a little while.”
Soil spoke politely, still with a smile on his face.
“I have to go see him.”
Before the two of them could answer, the left-hand man passed them by and walked into the backyard of Sobu.
Two bodyguards followed him.
From the moment the left-wing man entered the small room until his figure disappeared into the backyard, people’s eyes were fixed on him.
The nobles’ gaze toward Soil and Sowon was somewhat subtle.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the small group became more tense.
Then suddenly a loud noise was heard from the entrance to the small gate.
Then one of Sobu’s servants came quickly and said.
“My lord, my lord, we must go out and greet him quickly. A tall figure has arrived outside the door….”
It was before the words had even finished speaking.
“There is no need to welcome.”
A voice full of dignity and spirit rang in people’s ears for a moment.
Before I knew it, two young people had entered the hospital in the blink of an eye.
The nobles and big shots present at the scene looked surprised as soon as they saw the two people.
People were very confused.
The two people who appeared out of nowhere were none other than the ‘Shin Jeon Cheon In’ Gye Musang and the ‘Gwang Geuk Cheon In’ Ryeo Shin.
No one present here expected that these two arrogant Central Empire Federation envoys would show up in Sobu, so everyone was taken aback.
‘Did the Central Empire Federation delegation attend this event just to save face?’
But that couldn’t be the case, as the relationship between Sobu and the two lions wasn’t very friendly.
“I meet two lions.”
The head of the Jeong clan, Jeong Jam, and the head of the Ryu clan, Ryu Gung, came first to greet us.
“okay.”
Gyemusang nodded with an arrogant expression as he greeted the two people.
“I didn’t come here to disturb you, did I?”
He looked at Soil and Sowon and said with a faint smile.
“That’s not true. The presence of the two lions is an honor to my So clan.”
Soil and Sowon met each other’s eyes, and, unable to hide their excitement, flattered each other at the same time.
And the two of them, Gyemusang and Ryosin, walked straight to the top seat and sat down.
People who saw this tilted their heads without realizing it.
‘What does this mean?’
The two people from the Central Imperial Alliance delegation seemed to place great importance on these two leaders of the So family lineage.
All the big guys sitting here now are old foxes who have been here for a long time, so they sensed something right away.
People unconsciously had a feeling that there might be some turbulence in the Sobu family succession that was going to take place today.
After that, people kept coming into Sobu.
Even those who did not receive an invitation tried every means possible to get in and greet the most powerful people.
Finally, the time came for the ceremony to begin.
But for some reason, Sobu’s Noh Tae-ya Soyeon appeared in front of people in plain clothes, unlike usual.
Today was the inauguration of the new head of the household, so So No-tae’s attire was inappropriate.
“Huh? What happened?”
“Why did Your Majesty come dressed so comfortably…….”
“You don’t look very happy.”
“Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
“In such a grand setting, with so many big names present, you wouldn’t be dressed up. What could possibly have happened?”
The guests were confused when they saw this.
While everyone was watching, Noh Tae-ya So-yeon slowly walked towards the already set up ceremonial stage with an expressionless face.
“We would like to thank everyone who attended the ceremony for the new head of our So family.”
The old man had a large, tall build and his beard and hair were as white as snow.
He stood on the stage, scanned the room with his eyes, then clenched his fist and threw it.
His speech was extremely calm.
The dignified appearance of a detective was nowhere to be found, and today he just looked like an ordinary old man.
“Today, the old man will step down from his position as head of the family and formally hand over the position to a new head of the family. That person is none other than….”
Soyeon, who had been speaking up to this point, paused for a moment and closed her eyes tightly.
He gritted his teeth and continued speaking as if he had made up his mind about something.
“The main character is Sosa, the newcomer of the So family’s younger generation… I will end my speech here. You all… ”
It was before the words had even finished speaking.
The room began to buzz with people’s chatter.
The impact spread throughout the room as if a huge rock had been thrown onto calm waters.
This was an announcement that defied everyone’s expectations.
‘What’s going on? Wasn’t the new head of the household called Soya before? Then how did he suddenly change to Sosa?’
