In the meantime, Baek Cheon-Ung and Baek Mu-Ok returned to the Maritime Defense Base from the Guangdong Jin Family.

“Traveling such a long distance had to have been difficult. You did a great job too, Mu-Ok.” Baek Mu-Gun welcomed them warmly.

“How is all this because of me? This was only possible because of my father and uncles’ perseverance.”
