Chapter 51
“Young Brother So.”
Gu Ak called out in a low voice. Feeling guilty, Yang-hwi deliberately responded with a bright tone.
“Yes, Brother Gu! Did you call? Your younger brother is right here!”
However, it didn’t work. Gu Ak soon growled.
“We clearly made a promise, didn’t we? That you would guarantee time for me to spend with Rangrang once you returned from your trip.”
“Haha, did I say that?”
“How much more do you intend to work me to the bone!”
Gu Ak shouted at the top of his lungs. It seemed there was no getting away with it by playing dumb.
“I apologize. But this will take three days at most, so don’t worry. And that includes travel time!”
“Are you certain?”
Gu Ak shot him a look full of suspicion.
Having been burned many times before, he couldn’t bring himself to believe it easily.
“You say you’re going to catch a devilish villain, yet you can finish it that quickly? Even if the target is a commoner rather than a martial artist, it usually takes quite a while to track down someone in hiding.”
“Shall we make a wager for old time’s sake? What will you bet, Brother Gu?”
Despite the valid question, Yang-hwi spoke with such bravado that Gu Ak tucked his tail and backed down.
He had never once won a bet against him whenever it came to this.
“I was just saying. I’ll take your word for it.”
“Yes, trust brings rewards even in one’s sleep.”
