Chapter 111
When Jo Cheon-yang flinched at the sight of the Sub-Branch Leader’s gruesome corpse, Chwi Dugae spoke.
“He dropped dead from a prohibition seal placed by the power behind him. We were caught off guard as well.”
Jo Cheon-yang nodded.
“I suspected there might have been some kind of seal in place.”
With a face full of rage, Gwaa said:
“That bastard Yang paid for his greed with heaven’s punishment. What I regret is not being the one to kill him myself.”
“Gwaa, I understand your anger—but you’re in front of your benefactors. Mind your conduct.”
Gwaa bit her lip, then bowed toward Kwak Yeon and Chwi Dugae.
“Daoist Kwak, Rear Beggar-nim, I’m deeply grateful for your immense grace. I will surely repay it someday.”
Her eyes reddened as she departed.
Jo Cheon-yang let out a low sigh.
“She’s been through more than any child her age should ever face. I hope you can understand.”
