Chapter 23
Danwoo-seong, having seen off the young masters of the Gu Yang family and returning to his quarters, encountered the youngest son, Lee Ja-eon, who had been busy recognizing Kang Ho-sik’s letter carrier and returning.
The youngest brother paused and asked.
“Brother, have you finished your duel?”
“Yes, it’s over.”
“Already?”
Lee Ja-eon blinked his eyes as if he’d missed a good show, then cautiously inquired.
“I heard three people came, but how many times did you lose?”
“Why do you think they lost?”
“Ah, well, it seems they probably played it like a wheel game. If I’d been there, I would have split them up and fought them individually.”
Lee Ja-eon was being extremely careful with his words and actions after getting beaten up. Dan Woo-sung sighed.
‘If that were the case, it would have been one win and one loss.’
Danwooseong said flatly.
“We just won them all.”
Lee Ja-eon’s eyes widened.
“Is it strange that I won?”
Lee Ja-eon shook his head at his brother’s question.
“Ah, no. You worked hard.”
Danwooseong watched the youngest member trudge away, his back somehow looking lonely. Danwooseong swallowed a curse.
‘Ah, what a pathetic little loser.’
It was only natural to be happy when his older brother won, but he was projecting his own disappointment onto the situation.
Danwooseong resolved to quickly implement the plan he’d conceived earlier—a seemingly coincidental yet inevitable encounter. To do that, he needed the help of his idle friends.
