Chapter: 1870
Go Yeonsu erupted in rage.�
Eum Yujeong who was behind her smiled along.�
To a martial artist, there was nothing more terrifying than being labeled as Jianghu�s public enemy. After all, this meant that they had committed a grave offense, and once labeled as such, their activities would become restricted and tracked down.�
However, to be denounced as a public enemy, there were many verifications that had to be done.�
Even if a mid-sized faction like the Sword Blossom Pavilion designated someone as a Jianghu�s public enemy, the major factions would not readily accept it without proper confirmation.
Go Yeonsu and Eum Yujeong knew that fact, yet they wanted to put pressure on Pyo-wol mentally so they said such a thing.
�What are you going to do? Will you become Jianghu�s public enemy or follow me and receive the punishment you deserve? The decision is yours.�
�Who decides what is an appropriate punishment?�
�It would be me, of course. Who else in this place has the authority to pass judgment besides me?�
�What about the courtesan? You said she was the victim.�
�Since she entrusted everything to me, naturally, I also have the final say.�
Go Yeonsu said that as if it were obvious.�
A smile of victory appeared on her lips.
Time and circumstances were on her side.
Regardless of the truth, just spending time like this would put Pyo-wol at a disadvantage.
Even if the truth were to come out in the end, by then, Pyo-wol�s reputation would be stained with filth that could not be washed away.�
No matter how much he defends himself, since his reputation would already be stained at that time, no one would listen to him.
In the end, this young man, with only strength to show for it but no experience to back him up, would submit to her.�
Go Yeonsu�s eyes gleamed with malice.�
Once Pyo-wol surrendered, there were countless ways she would use Pyo-wol to gain power.�
It wasn�t for no reason that they say old ginger is spicy.1
It was usually impossible for a woman to navigate through the chaotic world of Jianghu alone.�
It was only yesterday when Eum Yujeon had first heard about Pyo-wol, yet within a day, she had devised and executed a plan to trap him.
Her determination and resourcefulness were truly beyond imagination.
Pyo-wol was genuinely impressed.
�How impressive. You�re so much better than most men.�
�Hmph! Do you think I would be pleased by your praise? Make your choice quickly. Will you become Jianghu�s public enemy, or will you face my punishment?�
�Neither of those choices appeals to me.�
�What?�
�There�s no reason for me to choose the answer sheet you�ve presented.� JrNovels.com
