Chapter: 1868
There were various ways to subdue young, male martial artists.�
Among them, the most effective method was the beauty trap. However, since Eum Yujeong had already attempted it and failed, it couldn�t be used again.�
That�s why Go Yeonsu chose another scheme.
If a promising young martial artist was known to have raped a woman, then he would never be able to show his face in public again.
The truth didn�t matter.
It didn�t matter even if the truth came out later on.�
Once such a perception was engraved, it wouldn�t be erased no matter how many years passed.
Go Yeonsu thought that Pyo-wol would tremble in fear or panic. But, he didn�t tremble or get excited like she expected.
He simply stared at her with deep-set eyes.
Go Yeonsu felt a chilling emotion that couldn�t be expressed in words for a moment.
It felt as if a sharp needle was piercing her chest.
The smile that had been on Go Yeonsu�s face vanished.
At that moment, Pyo-wol asked the woman who claimed to have been raped by him,
�I raped you?�
�Y-You broke into my room last night and r-raped me! I vividly remember your face and breathing.�
�So, you�re saying that I assaulted you, right?�
�I can guarantee it with my honor.�
�It�s amusing to hear a prostitute talk about honor.�
�What did you say?�
The woman�s voice became sharp.�
�Unlike a courtesan working in a brothel, an ordinary woman wouldn�t bother to grow her nails and sprinkle pearl powder on them to make them look elegant. This goes the same goes for her hair. Do you think an ordinary woman who had been assaulted in the middle of the night would take the time and effort of wearing such fancy hairpins? And several of them adorning her hair at that? And what about the clothes you�re wearing? They may seem plain and ordinary at first glance, but they�re actually made of high-quality silk. Above all, there�s a scent emanating from your body that can only be found in brothels. You probably didn�t have time to properly wash and came here with traces of perfume still lingering on your body.�
�W-What?�
�If word got out that a woman got assaulted and raped, it would tarnish her reputation. Thus, an ordinary woman wouldn�t normally come out in the open like this and accuse the perpetrator. But a courtesan is different. Since they�re already involved in the red-light district, it wouldn�t matter even if such rumors circulated. You probably received an offer out of the blue last night to frame me like this, which was why you couldn�t completely get rid of the perfume scent from your body and came here today.�
The woman became visibly agitated.
Pyo-wol spoke as if he had witnessed the situation firsthand.
Goosebumps crawled all over the woman�s body.
She was exactly what Pyo-wol described� a courtesan. Last night, while she was in the middle of doing her work, she unexpectedly received a visit from the sect leader of the Sword Blossom Pavilion.
The offer of the Sword Blossom Pavilion�s leader to her was simple.
Go Yeonsu wanted her to testify that she had been assaulted by Pyo-wol.
Like Pyo-wol said, if she were an ordinary woman, she would have probably refused immediately. But to her, who is a courtesan, such a thing wasn�t that much of a big deal. JrNovels.com
