Chapter 374: Stone (2)
Judging by what had just happened and what was being said now, it suddenly made sense why there had been four warriors standing guard in front of the restaurant—they were clearly the Alliance Leader’s personal guard.
They knew I was acquainted with the Alliance Leader and assumed I’d come to see him.
That much was a hundred percent clear.
I had mistakenly thought the guards at the restaurant recognized my nickname and my identity because it was a city full of martial artists.
And if they really did know my nickname, shouldn’t they have asked if I was “Spicy Fabre of All Venomous Creatures,” not just “Young Master So of the Tang Clan”?
I was so pleased that they recognized me, I totally overlooked that detail.
Not only that—shouldn’t the presence of four warriors at the entrance have set off some alarms? But no, I saw the guards and just thought the place looked high-end.
Sometimes fancier brothels or taverns have warriors standing outside, so I’d mistaken it for one of those places. That was my blunder.
Hwa-eun must’ve made the same mistake.
‘Well, if Hwa-eun misread it too... Still, I’m screwed.’
The moment I locked eyes with the Alliance Leader through the slits of his bamboo hat, I froze. I realized exactly how this situation had unfolded.
A deep voice rang out.
