“People from the Tang family have come. They have said that they will pay for all the damage, including the cost of repairing the collapsed pavilion.’
“Ah…”
Jo Pyung shed a slight sigh at Jo Gul’s words.
“It isn’t some shocking thing. As surprising as it sounds, they are a family with dignity.”
“Yes.”
“But for the Lord to come himself…”
“Uh?”
Jo Pyung had a strange expression.
“The Tang family is a family that knows how to protect their name. If they inflict harm due to their mistakes, they will compensate for it completely, even if it becomes a bit excessive. But I’ve never before heard of something like this… for the Lord of the Sichuan Tang family to personally come and offer an apology…”
Jo Gul clenched his fists.
“The financial compensation is indeed great, but it is nothing compared to the apology obtained from a Lord who couldn’t get himself to bow his head to others. And this time, the Lord has personally come to apologize.”
Jo Pyung looked at Jo Gul.
“The fact that you, a disciple of Mount Hua, is my second son, must have had a great influence.”
“…”
“It looks like what you have accomplished outside of this family is far greater than I thought. Seeing that the Sichuan Tang family’s Lord himself has decided to save our face in public…”
Jo Gul listened without saying anything. Now wasn’t the time to speak.
As he became silent, his father spoke in a low voice.
“So, when do you plan to return home?”
“Father…”
Jo Gul bit his lip.
This was uncomfortable and irritating.
But he would eventually have to go through this one day.
“I like Mount Hua.”
“More than this family?”
“It is definitely not like that. But…”
Jo Gul looked him straight in the eyes and said,
“I think this is the path I should take.”
“…hmm.”
“I am proud of my family. I think what father and hyung are doing is an amazing feat. But this isn’t where I belong.”
Seeing Jo Gul’s firm eyes, Jo Pyung’s lips began to twitch.
“I apologize. Father, if I have just one life, I want to live as a disciple of Mount Hua.”
Jo Gul sighed.
“Gul.”
“Yes, father.”
“Do you know what my dream is?”
“…I do not know.”
“It isn’t something huge. I just want you and your hyung to help each other and continue on this business we inherited from our ancestors.”
“…”
“That was my dream since you were born.”
As he heard that low voice, Jo Gul bowed his head.
