Chapter 0022: What The Fuck is that Blade Art?!
Within the shadowed confines of the lodge, the chaos of Lordi Payne's escape left a palpable tension. The room was a wreck—broken furniture, scattered debris, and the faint scent of blood lingering in the air.
Lee Sagwon, Chou Ease, and Miu Toanh leaned on one another, struggling to their feet. They moved slowly, applying medicine to their bruises and cuts, their faces tight with pain.
Midway through their quiet recovery, the enforcer squad disciples arrived, their presence sharp and intrusive. But the trio crafted a story of half-truths and deft misdirection, convincing the enforcers to leave.
Now, they were venomously plotting how to deal with Lordi Payne. "That fucking cunt really know how to fight. We should have waited until while he's asleep " one grumbled.
"No use sniveling like a kicked pup now. We've already made our move, and he's gone," Miu Toanh, the hothead, snapped. "He's a newbie, unfamiliar with the place, dirt-poor—where's he gonna run? He's probably still on Ghost Shade Peak. Tomorrow, we'll send people to scour every inch until we drag him out!"
"Once we find him, I'm gonna torture him, find out how he cultivated that High-grade Iron Bone," Lee Sagwon said, his voice low and menacing. His broken leg, splinted and treated with a healing pill from his grandfather, was healing quickly—it would be fully restored in just a few days.
"This filthy lowborn scum came from nothing, yet he's so damn tough—there's gotta be some shitty secret behind it!" Lee Sagwon, usually the best at masking his feelings, cursing badly. The terror and humiliation of Lordi Payne breaking his leg fueled a deep, seething hatred in his heart.
Before he could finish, the trio sensed the lodge's defense ward being deactivated. Before they could react, the door crashed open with a loud BANG!
They froze, still wondering the sudden intrusion, when a ghostly figure darted in—straight for Lee Sagwon.
Lordi Payne's face was calmly blank, his blade flashing down with a shrill whistle aimed directly at Lee Sagwon's head.
