Chapter 184: You Just Activated (4)
Half of a female master’s tears and a donkey’s bray are false.

To prevent any possible information leak, Irene Adler sent the elders out the back door, then sat alone at a long table and waited for an uninvited guest.
Irene was confident she could subdue Sherlock Holmes, but her opponent was the Heavenly Demon’s successor.
The Little Heavenly Demon already knew that at the royal ballroom, Irene Adler had attacked him with sound skills.
She had tried to correct his manners by the most covert means, but for some reason, the Little Heavenly Demon noticed, and even counterattacked using a phonograph.
The very fact that he realized she had struck with a secret sound skill was shocking, but the problem was what came after.
If he were an ordinary Murim person, he would have questioned Irene Adler on the spot and shamed her.
Yet the Little Heavenly Demon did not even challenge the Mistress of Green Willow. He accepted the handkerchief she offered, clothes torn and bleeding, and answered the invitation.
