Chapter 94: Kill 1
Lu Zhu said to Baek Moo-jin.
“Before I tell you the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Society Leader… I have something I wish to ask first.”
“Ask me.”
“Have you ever seen a woman more beautiful than me?”
Baek Moo-jin nodded.
“Of course.”
Lu Zhu’s expression darkened.
“You’re lying…”
“Why do you think it’s a lie?”
Lu Zhu, who had been staring into Baek Moo-jin’s eyes, swallowed hard and replied.
“It seems you’re not lying.”
Baek Moo-jin nodded as if it were obvious.
“That’s right. I am more beautiful than you, but I do not wear a mask.”
Lu Zhu sighed and said.
“Won’t your beauty cause you trouble?”
“Not at all.”
“Why not?”
Baek Moo-jin smiled as he replied.
“Because she’s strong.”
“How strong must she be…”
“Stronger than me…”
“Stronger than Lord Baek?”
“…is weaker, though.”
“Huh. I almost envied you.”
“She was my greatest adversary.”
This was praise for Jin Sohye. But it was also true. Lu Zhu’s eyes and expression had genuinely shown envy, but at the mention of being a formidable foe, his face brightened again.
“You killed her. That’s a relief.”
“Killed who?”
“That formidable woman.”
At those words, Baek Moo-jin grinned.
“She was a formidable foe, but now she’s an ally.”
“Ah…”
Lu Zhu fell silent again.
Baek Moo-jin was reaching the limits of his patience as Lu Zhu kept making idle chatter in front of a busy man. Part of him couldn’t help but suspect some other situation had gotten in the way.
