Chapter 839: Side (4)
In a section of Eun-gwang District where the traces of the explosion and the trap abilities had disappeared, a figure stood silently who was neither a fake nor an imitation—Seong Guk-eon himself.
Seong Guk-eon thought about Jo Eui-shin, who wasn’t present at this moment.
“Just as Eui-shin predicted. I hoped the forecast would be wrong, but...”
Jo Eui-shin had based his plans on the assumption that their movements would be read by the enemy.
Through the transcendent technology known as Replay, Seong Guk-eon had grasped the assassin's intentions, so he thought such an assumption would be unnecessary. However, he decided to follow Jo Eui-shin's advice.
Seong Guk-eon thought that if Jo Eui-shin’s prediction turned out wrong, it wouldn’t be too bad if the real Seong Guk-eon were captured instead.
While Seong Guk-eon couldn’t see it now, there was a legendary hojo clan member nearby, hiding his body with the skill ‘Jeokyeon,’ so there was no problem with their strength.
Moreover, there was someone here with whom Seong Guk-eon had wanted to fight by his side.
“It’s unfortunate that I missed the chance to fight alongside my teacher. The enemy is using every vile trick to target my teacher, so it would be safer to avoid fighting...”
Seong Guk-eon looked at the figure disguised as Jeon Mu-young.
At first glance, the build and appearance were almost identical to the Jeon Mu-young Seong Guk-eon knew well.
Moreover, the clothes and posture matched perfectly with Jeon Mu-young's.
