Chapter 56: Transcendent Realm (3)
“Indeed, child of Namgung. You should quickly leave this place. I must swiftly punish these two criminals.”
Namgung Suah frowned deeply at Jongin’s words.
Neither of the two were unaware.
The atmosphere was strange for someone who had truly come to punish criminals. To begin with, Mount Hua didn’t apprehend criminals in such a reckless manner.
Moreover, if he had really come after criminals, there would be no reason for Namgung Suah to withdraw from this situation.
Even if the criminals had stolen confidential information, Namgung Suah, who had been with them, would also be subject to investigation.
So Jongin’s words had a hidden meaning. One could tell just from the atmosphere without thinking too deeply.
If you leave now, I won’t lay a hand on you. But if you keep standing your ground, I’ll have no choice but to deal with you too.
Namgung Suah let out a bitter laugh and drew her greatsword.
“Namgung does not yield to external pressure.”
“You refuse the offered drink and choose punishment instead?”
