The Old Master declared that today, after enduring countless hardships for a long time within this Black Market, he had finally invited an extremely great family for a deal—and that family was the Iron Family.
The moment the name of the Iron Family was spoken, everyone present there became shocked. Hearing the name of the great Han Iron Family left all of them completely stunned, because although everyone had heard of the Han Iron Family before, none of them had imagined that he was talking about such an enormous family from the great capital itself.
However, the Old Master silenced everyone and stated that today, within this Black Market, he did not wish for any kind of conflict to occur. He warned all the Young Masters beforehand not to create any trouble here, because after many days of struggle—or rather, after many years of hard work—he was finally about to establish a connection with this great family. Therefore, he did not want any unnecessary disturbance inside this Black Market.
Meanwhile, Tian Ae, who had been lying unconscious there, was healed by a First Grade Healing Pill personally given by the Old Master himself, causing Tian Ae to regain consciousness. But the moment he woke up, he immediately shouted that he would never spare Yun Xian, and once again prepared himself to attack him.
However, the Old Master instantly rendered him unconscious again on the spot and told Tian Ae's guard that he could now take him out of the Black Market. He further warned that if Tian Ae attempted to raise any objections again, he would permanently ban him from ever entering this Black Market again.
Hearing this, Tian Ae's guard respectfully said,
"Old Master, I apologize on behalf of my Young Master."
All the Young Masters and Young Princesses present there became extremely shocked after witnessing the Old Master's strict attitude.
Then the Old Master stated that today he had opened this Black Market specifically for the purpose of speaking with the Iron Family because he did not want any sort of trouble, and he wished to present this Black Market before them in the most magnificent manner possible.
But because of everyone's carelessness, if the clients from the Iron Family came to believe that his Black Market was not being operated with proper discipline and dignity, they would refuse to conduct business with him.
Then he announced to all the people present from the various clans that no one was to interfere between him and the Iron Clan. He wished to complete this agreement peacefully.
After that, a man suddenly approached the Old Master and whispered softly into his ear that the Young Master and Young Princess of the Iron Family had arrived.
Then we are introduced to the Young Prince and Young Princess of the Iron Family.
They walked forward with extraordinary elegance and dignity, yet there was a strange and silent aura surrounding their movements—as though a tiger was calmly and quietly focusing on its prey before delivering a deadly strike.
Then we are told that this was the Second Young Master of the Iron Family, accompanied by the Third Princess of the Iron Family.
Upon seeing the Young Master and the Third Princess, the Old Master became extremely delighted.
After that, we are introduced to the two young members of the Iron Family.
One of them was named Suyaan, while the Third Young Princess beside him was named Soreen.
Following that, the Old Master personally stepped forward to welcome the two of them with great joy and respect.
All the Young Masters from the major families present there became utterly shocked upon seeing the members of the Iron Family.
Because the Iron Family was known not only for its name, but also for its immense power, influence, and mysterious reputation.
And at that moment, the main lead, Yun Xuan, was also standing there silently.
The instant his gaze landed upon the brother and sister—
Yun Xuan… or rather, Kim…
suddenly felt as though something deep inside his mind had begun to awaken.
Although he could not remember everything completely, merely looking at the two of them caused vague and blurry memories to slowly surface inside his consciousness.
Because of those fragmented memories, Kim suddenly began feeling an indescribable irritation from deep within himself.
His heart started filling with anger for no apparent reason.
And at that exact moment—
the System began continuously rewarding him with massive amounts of Angry Epiphany Points.
[Anger Epiphany Points +500]
[Anger Epiphany Points +800]
[Anger Epiphany Points +1200]
One notification after another continuously appeared before his eyes.
Even Kim himself could not understand why simply looking at those two was triggering such an intense reaction within him.
At that same moment—
the System suddenly opened a completely new option before him.
[Special Feature Unlocked — Inner Courtyard]
Immediately afterward, the System Panel suddenly began changing.
The blue light slowly started taking the shape of a human figure.
And within a few seconds—
the entire System Panel transformed into the appearance of an extraordinarily beautiful young girl.
She possessed long shining hair, faint blue light glimmering within her eyes, and an incredibly calm voice.
Then she revealed her name.
"Holy Vive."
After that, she looked directly toward the main lead and softly spoke—
"According to a special condition, you have unlocked the option of the 'Inner Courtyard.'"
"If you wish to obtain it, you will only need to spend 100,000 Epiphany Points."
"In other words…"
"You will need to purchase this Inner Courtyard."
At that moment, the main lead Kim—or Yun Xuan—currently possessed a large amount of Epiphany Points.
After thinking silently for a few moments, he no longer hesitated.
Without wasting much time—
he directly purchased the Inner Courtyard.
[100,000 Epiphany Points Deducted]
[Inner Courtyard Successfully Purchased]
[Special Space Initialization Beginning...]
The System's blue light suddenly began shining even brighter.
And at that exact moment—
Kim felt as though a hidden door somewhere deep within his destiny…
had quietly begun to open.
A few hours later, the scene shifted once again.
After finishing their meeting with the Old Master, the brother and sister from the Iron Family were now leisurely wandering through the Black Market.
However, after some time, Soreen decided to return to the guest house to rest, while her brother, Suyaan, continued roaming around the Black Market alone.
Then, the scene shifted toward Soreen's side.
Soreen slowly began undoing her hair.
First, she removed the exquisite hairpin fixed within her long silver hair. The pin itself looked incredibly sharp and was decorated with magnificent craftsmanship. It was considered one of the rare treasures of the Iron Family.
Carefully, Soreen placed the rare item beside the bath tub.
After that, she let down her long hair completely before slowly lowering herself into the bath filled with warm water.
Steam gradually spread throughout the room.
Her body slowly began relaxing.
Soreen started taking deep and comfortable breaths, as though the exhaustion from the long journey was finally beginning to fade away.
But at that exact same moment—
another person was already present within the dark corner of the room.
It was—
the main lead, Kim.
Kim had arrived there quite some time ago.
From the very moment Soreen began removing her hairpin, Kim had been secretly watching her from the shadows.
But there was no ordinary emotion within his eyes.
Inside him—
anger continued rising endlessly.
It was as though merely seeing Soreen and Suyaan had awakened some ancient memory buried deep inside his soul.
A memory filled with rage.
Some time later, when Soreen had completely relaxed inside the bath—
suddenly—
Kim moved forward with lightning-like speed.
His hand instantly struck the back of Soreen's neck.
Because the attack happened so suddenly, Soreen did not even get the chance to react.
She lost consciousness immediately.
Then, the scene suddenly shifted back several hours earlier.
After the main lead purchased the Inner Courtyard, he had carefully begun examining all of its features.
At that moment, the System explained the abilities of the Inner Courtyard to him.
The System informed him that both living and non-living things could safely be stored inside this Inner Courtyard.
Not only that—
the Inner Courtyard could also be used similarly to a skip-type spatial item, allowing the main lead to instantly change his position with its assistance.
The System further revealed that the current level of the Inner Courtyard was still at True Foundation Level 1.
Then the scene returned back to the present.
There—
the main lead, Kim, directly stored the unconscious Soreen inside his Inner Courtyard.
And immediately afterward—
using the power of the Inner Courtyard—
Kim skipped through space and completely disappeared from that place.
Then, the author finally revealed the true reason behind why the main lead had become so furious after seeing Soreen and her brother.
Because Kim—
and the soul of Jin Bu that had reincarnated within this body—
both had experienced an extremely similar situation in the past.
And because of that hidden past…
Kim's rage had exploded the moment he saw them.
Something deep within his memories had begun awakening.
And that awakening…
was far more dangerous than anyone could possibly imagine.
