Chapter 33
“Gu-hyeong. There is something I must tell you.”
“What is it? Speak your mind, Young Brother So.”
When Yang-hwi, having become a member of the Eumhu search team, requested a conversation upon returning to Baek Manor from Gokyeol Mountain.
Until this moment, Gu Ak had been living a highly satisfactory life.
Though it had been shameful and awkward when he first abandoned his direct lineage position in the Honggyo Gang to become a servant of the Baek Manor, he had since found his rhythm.
By day, he would stroll through E’an County, and if he discovered members of the Black Path Band bullying commoners, he would perform One Hero a Day; by night, he would spend happy moments with his beloved partner. Life was, quite literally, worth living.
It would have been strange had he any complaints.
‘Hehehe, One Hero a Day. A more respectable title than Blood Axe. And I’ve even gained a decent position as the Lord of the Hall of Reformation.’
Considering he had changed his clothes from black to white, wasn’t this a highly successful conversion?
Because of this, Gu Ak had recently been in a very relaxed state of mind, and that was his undoing.
“Gu-hyeong. You know that I trust you deeply, don’t you?”
“Judging by the flattery, you have a heavy request to make, hm? Hahaha, tell this brother of yours, Young Brother So.”
“I am grateful you say so.”
Yang-hwi, having performed the Salutation of fists and palms with a formality that didn’t quite suit him, continued.
