Chapter 32
“Cheolmyeongho, we missed him.”
As a man reported this at the door, instead of a reply, a woman’s moans echoed from within. The reporting man narrowed his brows and said curtly.
“······I’ll come back.”
As the man turned to leave, the leader of the Red Lotus Alliance spoke from inside.
“Come in and speak.”
The voice from inside the room was deep and resonant. The man replied.
“Yes, I will enter then.”
After speaking, he waited a moment before opening the door and entering. He immediately knelt, fixing his gaze on the floor.
The voice of Jikye, rolling around with a courtesan, could be heard.
“Speak. Why did you let him escape?”
Is he a person with feelings, or without?
Even while rolling around with a courtesan, his voice held no emotion whatsoever.
The reporting man glanced at the creaking lower part of the bedding and replied.
“We almost caught them all, but that bastard’s friend blocked us. One man charged and was knocked unconscious; he still hasn’t woken up. We recorded his physical description…”
The commotion atop the bed intensified, then the woman suddenly let out a sound closer to a scream than a moan. It felt like she might die at the enemy’s hands. The reporting man paused, his face involuntarily contorting with anger.
Jikye replied.
“What’s the point of recording it?”
“I checked with people around here using facial recognition, and it was the Grand Prince of the Eunha Trading Guild.”
