The White Tiger Guild and the Black Tortoise Guild were well-known rivals in the eyes of the public. Their brand values and sizes were similar, and their names both drew inspiration from the Four Symbols, gods of the cardinal directions—a white tiger, a black tortoise, a blue dragon, and a red pheasant.0

As a result, the two guilds were often mentioned in the same breath. And this constant association deeply irked the Black Tortoise Guild’s guild master.0

We were around a full year before they were!0

Besides, the name of the guild was not actually meant to refer to the Four Symbols.0

I know the black tortoise symbol is called a “hyunmu,” but the guild is based on my name! Hyun Mukang! I named it after myself!0

The truth behind the name was simple.0

Then a year later, Baek Yoonho left the Fiend Guild to establish the White Tiger Guild. He also used characters from his name, “Baek” and “Ho,” which meant “white tiger” when they were combined.0

Ever since, the public couldn’t seem to separate the two guilds, much to Mukang’s growing frustration.0

Of course, a friendly rivalry between their guilds could have been manageable—if not for Baek Yoonho...0
