Chapter 80: The Ultimate Peak
“Do you want to reach the ultimate peak?”
“Of course I do. The problem is the time and effort it takes.”
If only I could just sit still and grow stronger like Danun.
‘The problem is I can’t.’
It was a truly sad reality.
Whether my feelings showed on my face or not, Baek Gung-baek raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking smile and said.
“It won’t be long, so there’s no need to be impatient.”
“I’m not impatient at all.”
“But listening to your conversation with the Blue Dragon Sword, it didn’t seem that way?”
This guy really.
“As the head of the clan, you shouldn’t be eavesdropping on others’ conversations.”
“I merely overheard it.”
“······Anyway, you seem fine, so I’ll take my leave. I’ll leave the fruit here; eat it when you’re bored. It’s not a snack, so absolutely no alcohol. It’ll aggravate your wound.”
“Thank you.”
He can be annoying sometimes, but he’s half my master. If not me, who else would look after him?
Judging by how he drinks every day, he’ll surely become an alcoholic old man before long.
‘Wait a minute?’
Didn’t he teach me martial arts so I could take care of him later?
This logical conclusion made my body tremble involuntarily.
To have to look after that good-for-nothing scoundrel of the righteous faction, North Palace Baek.
‘I need to leave Nine Dragons City before that happens.’
Just as I was about to leave the hospital room, dreaming of a clean getaway, North Palace Baek’s languid voice reached me.
