Investigating the Five Venoms Clan was absolutely necessary.

Both the Tang Clan and the Beast Palace had assumed that they had been wiped out a hundred years ago, yet traces of their existence had been discovered.

Not only that, but they had already launched a preemptive attack.

Their last known refuge was said to be deep in the jungles of Yunnan, so it seemed that Mandok Shingun and my adoptive father intended to conduct a joint investigation before the Tang Clan members returned home.

“We couldn’t leave while we still had to check on your condition, but now that you’re awake, we plan to confirm things soon.”

“Yes, So-ryong. We already received permission from the clan leader, so it’s best to confirm it while we’re here in Yunnan.

If they dared to attack the Beast Palace, our Tang Clan could very well be next. Rather than sitting and waiting, it’s better to track them down and settle what should’ve been finished a hundred years ago.”

In short, the Beast Palace and the Tang Clan weren’t the types to let things slide. If the remnants of the Five Venoms Clan had survived, they would be dealt with.

It was a logical conclusion, and I nodded inwardly.

‘If they barely managed to escape extermination, they should’ve just stayed hidden. Why rush to their own deaths?’

Acknowledging the situation, I spoke up.

“Oh, so that’s what happened. Then I absolutely have to come along, right?”

My philosophy in life was that a person should have tact.@@novelbin@@

I was the adopted son of the Beast Palace and the son-in-law of the Tang Clan.

In a situation like this, it was only right for me to accompany them.

With a resolute expression, I looked at the two elders, and both were visibly surprised.

“You? After just waking up, you want to come with us?”

“You, So-ryong? You’ve barely recovered!”

“But I am the son of the Southern Barbarian Beast Palace and the son-in-law of the Sichuan Tang Clan! An enemy of both clans is my sworn enemy. How could I possibly sit this one out?”

If it were a mission that involved outright killing people, I might’ve hesitated.

But this was just an investigation into some ruins.

It was the perfect chance to earn points with them.

One side—the Beast Palace—was filled with venomous creatures that aligned with my interests, and the other—the Tang Clan—actively supported my hobbies.

I had to take advantage of this opportunity.

“Haha. So that’s how you think?”

“To hear So-ryong speak like this… He’s already one of us! Hahaha.”
