Chapter 1049
Chapter 1049
A derelict house on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province.
Right after the false body of Cheongho, presented by the Earthquake Knight, was revealed to be fake.
‘To think he knew exactly where the proof of its falseness was... Did he buy the information from Jared or the Blue Violinist?’
The fake Cheongho in front of him was expertly crafted, but the signature left by the Water Shadow Knight on the shadow of the fake revealed the deception.
The letters ‘WR’ were imbued with a sophisticated magic circle that composed the fake body, making any excuse for its appearance impossible.
Above all, Huang-ho understood the power that the Water Shadow Knight held and knew there was no way to deceive him.
‘This is the worst. Confronting Huang-ho directly is too dangerous.’
The Earthquake Knight, with nervous eyes, watched Huang-ho.
Huang-ho radiated a dangerous aura, as if ready to explode at any moment.
It was impossible to retreat and make plans for the future.
After all, he had been caught playing with a fake in front of the Hojo clan leader in the middle of the night. It would be unreasonable to expect him to be let go just like that.
If Huang-ho were to kill the Earthquake Knight as an example and threaten him to bring the real body, there would be justification for it.
‘Fighting Huang-ho here would only end in my death. But even if I were to propose another deal right now, I don’t know if Huang-ho would forgive me. Besides, if I use the real body in a deal, that person...’
Giving away Cheongho's real body would mean severing ties with the oath made by the three knights to that ‘person.’
The three knights and that person were deeply involved in various shady dealings, and just thinking about the retaliation that might follow made his head spin.
