Chapter 93: Who Is Deceiving Whom 3
Baek Moo-jin believed one shouldn’t give time to someone who was agonizing. It was never a good time, neither for Baek Moo-jin nor for these people. Baek Moo-jin suddenly snapped his fingers without meaning.
“One.”
“……”
“Two.”
“······.”
Before Baek Moo-jin could say three, Lu Ju unconsciously shot one hand up.
“I’ll pass on the self-examination.”
Baek Moo-jin retorted.
“Opt out?”
He meant he would withdraw from this commotion for now. It was a statement subtly conveying his intent to avoid the situation. When Baek Moo-jin slightly shook his head as if displeased, the quick-witted Lu Ju added.
“Jia Jianlu will henceforth cooperate wholeheartedly with Lord Baek.”
At that, Dokgo Myeongyeon addressed the visibly flustered Lu Zhu.
“Lady Lu Zhu.”
Dugu Mingyan’s brief words meant she was here. It also meant that even if she couldn’t do anything, the Dugu Clan stood behind them. But Lu Zhu thought, what good was the Dugu Clan when they were all about to die right now?
Lu Zhu addressed Bai Muzhen.
“As you can see, the Amin Ironworks and the Qinghai Merchant Guild are not under my command, Lord Baek.”
“I know.”
Baek Moo-jin now turned his gaze to Ki Hwa-jin and the newly arrived leader of the Cheonghae Merchant Guild. The two men were still struggling to grasp how the situation was unfolding.
Indeed, one should never give people time to think.
Especially not martial artists of the Jianghu.
