Chapter 81
Back at the Southern Palace, things weren’t all smooth sailing. As if it was too much to hope for peace, Gae X, the fourth-ranked male palace dog, who had been practicing his martial arts in an abandoned wing, began to fuss as if he hadn’t been quiet for a while.
“……I can still compete for Gazoo! I can! Are you ignoring me?”
I let out a light sigh as I watched him struggle. Every time it did.
“Shut up, asshole.”
He glared at me.
“Tongue, brother?”
I was too nervous to say anything in front of Namgungal.
“Brother, leave him to me. I’ll take care of him.”
“Alright. Good luck.”
Namgunggal nodded lightly in response to my words, and the Namgung Dog, who was looking at him, looked back and forth between us in confusion.
It looked like it didn’t understand. He could only vaguely guess that a lot had changed in the Southern Palace without his knowledge.
“……No, Elder Brother Gal! How can you call that bastard Elder Brother ……!”
“Shut up! If you run your mouth one more time, I’ll rip it off and throw you in the black hole far away.”
At the sound of his fierce voice, both I and the male dog were silent. He was indeed a frightening creature.
“By the way, where did you send Black Lake and the Second Gongzi?”
“I asked them to go to ……, the branch in Hubei.”
“Open?”
“Yes.”
I shook my head at my uncle’s words. I was the only one who knew about Black Lake’s past, but now he was a man of the Southern Palace. He had spent his entire life as a reaper, just as Master Guangsheng had said, and now he couldn’t abandon his roots.
