Chapter 93
"Good work, brothers!"
"Yeah. Put this away."
Yugang caught the object tossed at him in one fluid motion. The moment he realized it was a child cradled snugly in his arms, his face turned pale.
"Who is this child...?"
"That's none of your business. Tie her up in the storeroom. She might scream if she wakes up, so gag her too."
Yugang stared blankly at the sleeping girl nestled against his chest.
Her delicate features and fine, expensive clothing betrayed a noble lineage. She was clearly the child of a prestigious household.
‘She looks familiar... I've seen this face before.’
"I'm starving. Is dinner ready?"
"Huh? Y-Yes! It’s all prepared! We picked up some stir-fried meat from the market today!"
"Nice, finally some grease on the bones. Feels like today’s a lucky day."
The men chuckled as they disappeared into the cabin, leaving Yugang standing there. He glanced after them, then turned and walked toward the storeroom.
