Chapter 93: All Mysteries Solved (3)
Two hours after the conversation with Yongmasan.
“Found them!”
True to Hao Gate’s reputation for handling the most extensive information in the realm before its abolition, they succeeded in tracking down the men who had slipped away less than half a day ago.
“Where are they?”
“They’re said to have escaped through the North Gate. The expected route is towards Zhuling Mountain in Youye County.”
Upon hearing his subordinate’s report, Yongmasan looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, ‘This is the best we can do.’
“Hmm, I could deploy the Heavenly Net for you. Of course, you’d have to pay.”
“How much is that?”
“Two hundred taels.”
“Bullshit.”
I casually dismissed Yongmasan’s offer and bolted out.
“You can collect the payment at the outer hall!”
“■■■!!”
I heard Yongmasan’s angry voice behind me, but that was only natural.
‘I can’t spend my own money on official business.’

Bloodstained Lord Lim Gosun rode at full speed with his guards.
“Who knows when those Nine Dragons Fortress bastards will catch up! Pick up the pace. Now!”
His shout spurred the five guards to drive their horses even harder.
Lim Gosun glared at the guard bringing up the rear, grinding his teeth.
Grind.
‘Damn brat!’
What a mess this was all because of that one bastard.
And what would he tell headquarters?
‘I’ll kill him the moment we reach headquarters.’
He forced down his murderous intent and replayed the events in his mind.
It wasn’t supposed to get this tangled.
