Chapter 101: The Spores
Inside the car on the way back, Baek Hwi-Soo glanced up at the rearview mirror. There, he saw Yeon Hong-Ah sitting in the back seat, absentmindedly staring out the window, resting her chin on her hand.
“You did great today, Guild Master,” he said, breaking the silence.

“Yeah…”

“Mhm…” she replied.
