Chapter: 248
The sight of her twisting her body and smiling at him made him feel a bit uneasy. Whether or not Heo Ranju knew the worries of the Daoshi Goh, she whispered to Pyo-wol who had his arms crossed.
�Do you already have a place to stay in Chengdu? If not, how about going with us?�
�No.�
�Why? Is it because of Hyulseung? As you can see, he�s usually gentle. Don�t worry.�
�I�m more comfortable being alone.�
�You�re too much! I can�t believe you�re refusing a girl who�s showing you such interest!�
�I�m not into poisonous roses no matter how beautiful they are.��
Heo Ranju�s forehead twitched slightly at Pyo-wol�s nonchalant words. But even then, she smiled brightly with an innocent expression.
�So you admit that I�m pretty?�
�Only your appearance is pretty.�
�Wow! How could you say that to a woman? I�m hurt now.�
Heo Ranju grabbed her chest and look like she was about to faint. But Pyo-wol�s eyes looking at her were still cold.
The brute force shown by Hyulseung just before was very impressive.
Although the pirates�s prowess was not great, it was clear that they were still powerful even if they had no striking aspect.
Although he couldn�t confirm it with his own eyes, Daoshi Goh and Heo Ranju must be similar to Hyulseung in terms of their martial arts skill.�
Those three people were heading to Chengdu at the same time as Pyo-wol. There were many things that were ingenious to dismiss it as a mere coincidence.
�The biggest problem is their objective for them to go to Chengdu��
Pyo-wol looked at Hyulseung.�
When the three of them were together, he was the most insignificant. However, after the incident happened, Heo Ranju and Daoshi Goh put Hyulseung at the frontfront.
It felt as if they deliberately placed Hyulseung to the frontlines, when it was something Heo Ranju or the Daoshi Goh could have handled quietly.�
The reason is unknown, but it was clear that the armed demonstration they showed just now was meant to be shown to someone.
�Who do they want to show it to? What do they gain from this?�
Pyo-wol once again looked closely at Heo Ranju.
Heo Ranju was wearing revealing clothes. In particular, her chest area was clearly visible.
Pyo-wol looked at Heo Ranju�s chest.�To be precise, he saw the wounds passing over her chest.
The wound was so deep that an ordinary person would have stopped breathing immediately. Deep wounds were seen not only on the chest but also on the forearm. It wasn�t just an injury suffered during training.�
It was a testament to the battle between life and death. She probably has more wounds in the other areas covered by her clothes.
No matter how tough Jianghu is, the fights were not always so fierce that martial artists suffered such deep wounds. Unless they were participating in a war, it was rare for someone to suffer so much damage.
�They are mercenaries who sell their skills and strength for money. They are now demonstrating their force for� their client to see so they can be hired.�
The pirates that came were nothing more than pitiful sacrifices to increase their payment. JrNovels.com
