Chapter 503

– To Myeonghu: Yes, understood. And though we’ve formed an alliance, I’m always ready to assist you, Myeonghu. If anything troublesome arises, please don’t hesitate to tell me.
After finishing his private chat with Myeong-hu, Soma sat back down.
“Huh.”
He exhaled a sigh and thought.
‘Well, even if the Dokgo Guild tried to pick a fight, if it’s Myeonghu…’
It was a game he couldn’t win from the start. Even the Pacific Guild avoided a full-scale war with Myeonghu. Yet the Dokgo Guild, smaller and weaker than the Pacific Guild, dared to scheme against Myeonghu? It was absurd.
It was right then.
-Gaul: Have you contacted him?
A whisper came to Gaul.
‘You told me to tell the truth.’
Recalling Myeonghu’s words, Soma sent a whisper to Gaul.
* * * *
-Soma: Yes, it’s confirmed that it was indeed Lord Myeonghu’s doing.
“…”
Gaul couldn’t utter a word in response to Soma’s whisper.
‘I never expected him to admit it so boldly.’
He had expected him to deny it outright. He never imagined he would admit it so boldly. Faced with this unexpected turn, Gaul pondered deeply on what to do next.
‘The justification lies in the fact that he tried to exert control.’
It had all started because he tried to control things. The fault lay with the Dokgo Guild, and the justification was with Myeonghu. But even if he had made a mistake, even if there was no justification, he couldn’t just leave Myeonghu like this.
