Chapter 1047
Kozuka Yashiro immediately entered a defensive stance.
From between his lush hair, fox ears poked out, and the power of his enhanced senses spread, as his eyes flickered with psychic energy.
Someone was hunting Jo Yi-shin.
‘I can’t feel the aura of Jinmyeong. But there’s a tiger-like scent, and the hunting style follows the Hojo clan's methods. Plus, this hunter is quite skilled. He’s not a direct member of the Hojo or their descendants, but he's likely someone working under them.’
Kozuka Yashiro quickly analyzed the situation, his mind working fast.
He had called Jo Yi-shin under the assumption that he would join the national team today, but the Hojo clan’s persistence exceeded Kozuka Yashiro’s expectations.
Had this happened during their first encounter, Kozuka Yashiro would have abandoned Jo Yi-shin without hesitation.
However, seeing the late-night chase now, a different thought crossed his mind.
‘Even though they didn’t send the Hojo directly, they’ve sent a capable hunter to obsessively track Jo Yi-shin to the edge of Eungwang District. And Jo Yi-shin must have the ability to shake off such a chase and still make it here.’
Jo Yi-shin had chosen to protect Kozuka Yashiro instead of surrendering to the Hojo.
If Jo Yi-shin had acted recklessly and drawn the Hojo's wrath, Kozuka Yashiro could have manipulated the situation, using the handlers to calm things down, but that was not the case.
Value, skill, loyalty, principles.
After considering all of Jo Yi-shin’s qualities, the scales of Kozuka Yashiro’s mind quickly tilted.
‘It seems more useful to take him with me and risk the danger than abandon him.’
