Chapter 127 Temporary Joining

Proofread

“…You seemed to be worrying over me at times.”

“……”

Worry. I narrowed my eyes and controlled my breathing, or I would begin to laugh. Yeonju Go slowly backed away from me, and while I could feel that there was something weird in her walk, she spoke up.

“However, I could not ignore it. Do you know that you make me shudder with tension whenever you look at me?”

“…Hmm.”

Both of our cigarettes were out now, and I thought I had been too lenient. She had been observing me even more than I had her. Yeonju Go flicked away her cigarette butt before speaking.

“I realized the reason why when you talked about SSUN.”

“What is it?”

Yeonju Go smiled, and I now knew why I had thought her walk was strange. She spoke before I could turn.

“The intention to kill.”

I calculated the distance between us and looked for my sword, but it was gone from its place.

“Are you looking for this?”

I had to gulp as I raised my head to see her smooth fingers on my sword. I grabbed a chopstick from the table and charged at her.

“Well, well.”

She was calm as she disappeared. I used my Third Eye before waking my magic. I knew that Yeonju Go would have used a sense obstruction skill and her Black Shadow. However, I could use my Third Eye over both skills. I looked at the shadows near me. She was not under the table, and that meant…

“Here I am, behind you.”

Yeonju Go rose from my own shadow behind me with a cracking sound, but I was ready for her with my ability.

“No, I’m the one behind you, aren’t I?”

I was standing behind her and held the chopstick against her neck. Yeonju Go froze, and our weapons were both at a non-fatal distance. She stammered for a moment.

“…No way…teleportation?”

“You guessed right.”

“I heard that someone from the Eastantel Law Clan was developing this… but how could you?”

I had learned it from that guy in my past life. I could see her shake at having been beaten so easily. I had been a bit lucky, as she had not given her all while I was used to her. I had met her numerous times during my first life, and my clan had analyzed her thoroughly. We had succeeded, and she had been taken care of by Soyoung Han.

All that and the fact I was stronger than her made things this easy. If she had used her special ability <Abyss Crowd>, things would have not gone so smoothly. However, I thought Yeonju Go would not accept this situation easily when…

“I surrender.”

She accepted the situation and dropped her dagger and my sword. While it was anticlimactic, I thought it was like her. While Yeonju Go seemed carefree and unruly, she kept her word. That was why Soyoung Han had so ruthlessly killed her off.

I pondered over the situation. If I thought back to my past life, it was better to kill her. However, I kept thinking about how to make her my ally. What would win her over?

I heard Yeonju Go’s desolate voice as I thought such things.

“This is exactly what I had felt.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You tended to look at me like you were thinking about killing me.”

I could not say anything as she was right. Yeonju Go cleared her throat before speaking.

“Can I turn around?”

“Slowly, with your hands in the air.”

Yeonju Go complied and glanced at my chopstick. I dropped it and kicked away her weapons. I was at an advantage if we had to resort to a fistfight.

“Well, you let me live at the end.”

I shrugged as I lowered her arms. She gave me a probing look before walking past me to my bed. She threw herself on it, and now I was beyond being surprised. She murmured in a weak voice as she buried her face into it.

“Today’s been a hellish day. I get almost killed, and someone crushed my pride.”

“It couldn’t be helped.”

Yeonju Go rebuked me and now tapped the place next to her on the bed. While I knew her intention, I just perched on it instead of lying beside her. She spoke out loud with her body that she had lost the will to fight.

She came up to me and laid her head on my thigh. While the fight had been short, the effect would be long. One thing was that Yeonju Go now owed me her life as I had let her live, and she would know that.

Yeonju Go sighed before speaking up.

“Well, I know one thing for sure.”

“What?”

She lifted her finger to tap my nose.

“You were contemplating on killing me but let me live. That means you want something from me. We were complete strangers before meeting here. What do you want, and why do you want to kill me?”

“……”

“Don’t be silent and just tell me. I would need to know things in order to give you an answer.”

I was reticent because, unlike Hayeon or Sangyong Shin, Yeonju was a proud user with a secret class. She would have her own thought and take pride in herself. While she did think highly of my caravan and plans, she would not join my clan so easily. While I could kill her if she refused, I could not fathom how helpful she would be if she allied with me.

I decided to postpone my judgment. Yeonju Go was interested in me, and I wanted to observe her more. That meant I should create an opportunity for her to interact closer with us for some time.

I gently caressed her soft hair, and she closed her eyes. I would offer her a condition, and she would probably comply as she owed me her life. Most of all, I thought Yeonju Go would be a big help at the caves.

“How about resting for a while, as you have no customers?”

Yeonju purred at my words, and I checked her response before continuing to speak.
