Chapter: 2024
�If I hadn�t, would you be joining me?�
�I already had my meal. What about Lady Yeom?�
�I don�t have an appetite. Thanks to someone.�
Yeom Hee-soo said, glancing at Pyo-wol as she took her seat.
Namgung Wol sensed the sharpness in her voice, but since he didn�t know the circumstances, he couldn�t say anything.�
Yeom Hee-soo glared at Pyo-wol with ice-cold eyes. However, Pyo-wol ignored her gaze and silently continued his meal.
That sight infuriated Yeom Hee-soo even more. However, she exercised superhuman patience and suppressed her emotions.
This morning, she got to know how terrifying of an existence Pyo-wol was.
Wol Gwi, whom she had assigned to monitor him, was by no means an ordinary warrior. If he had made up his mind to hide, not even Yeom Hee-soo could have found his whereabouts. And yet, one of Wol Gwi�s arms got severed and sent to her.
Even without confirming the body, she could surmise that Wol Gwi was dead.
Seeing Pyo-wol calmly having a meal despite killing Wol Gwi, something surged inside her.
In her heart, she wanted to strike Pyo-wol�s face with a blow right away, but it was a fight she had no chance of winning, so she had no choice but to endure. However, she couldn�t prevent herself from speaking bluntly.
�You�re truly impressive.�
����
When Pyo-wol looked up and met her gaze, Yeom Hee-soo pursed her lips.
�I don�t know who gave it to you, but the nickname �Reaper� really suits you.�
�Being the Reaper is far better than being a rat that blindly follows others. Both are nauseating, though��
�Is that so?�
�Isn�t it?�
�On second thought, Master Pyo�s words seem to be right. There won�t be any more instances of a rat annoying Master Pyo. I promise.�
Pyo-wol nodded silently and resumed using his chopsticks. Yeom Hee-soo stared intently at him.
Namgung Wol finally realized what was going on.
�So Lady Yeom has been keeping tabs on Master Pyo. What a foolish thing to do��
Pyo-wol was the most perceptive person in the world.
It was impossible to deceive his senses and get close to him.
Yeom Hee-soo might have taken on the task of monitoring Pyo-wol�s movements, but from Namgung Wol�s perspective, it was a remarkably foolish move.
He knew how terrifying Pyo-wol was, which is why he showed him respect by calling him Master, even though they were the same age.
He hoped that Yeom Hee-soo would also act in the same way.
While Namgung Wol was lost in thought, Pyo-wol finally finished his breakfast.
He placed down his chopsticks and poured tea into his cup. JrNovels.com
