Book 6: Chapter 123

Oh, hey, Tafel said and glanced down at her root bracelet. Kim Hajuns requesting entry into the residence.

He doesnt already have permission? Lindyss asked from her rocking chair.

No, Tafel said. Hes not part of the clan, so. The demon shrugged and tapped on her root bracelet, and second later, an amber flash from off in the distance.

Jasmine leaned over to Ashley and whispered, Kim Hajun, whos that?

A prophet, Ashley said. The Light Lords eyes narrowed a little. He might be a womanizer too, so watch out for his tricks.

Rustling sounds came from the distance as if someone had stumbled over a bush while walking through the forest. The group turned their heads in that direction, and a few seconds later, Kim Hajuns figure came into view, the greenery parting as he walked past. He wasnt dressed in a cloak and mask; instead, he wore his usual business attire. He put on his most-realistic fake smile and waved. Hello, everyone. It feels like its been a while since the last time weve met.

Its only been a couple of days, Lindyss said. Whatre you here for?

Kim Hajun scratched his head. Cant a guy just come to visit without an ulterior motive?Updated chapters at novelhall.com

They can, however unlikely, Lindyss said. She pointed her knitting needle at Kim Hajun. But youre not here for just a visit. Which one is it? Ashley or Jasmine?

Hey! Garlic said. Stop trying to block my view! I need to see things to grow! Jeffery paused for a second before lifting his right hand away, keeping the ant pupas head covered with his left. The melon-sized egg flashed twice as if it were conveying a snort.

Melody frowned upon hearing the gasps Kim Hajun took as he stumbled backwards away from Mary. The pink-haired woman turned her head towards Vur, who was munching on a cookie while watching the spectacle. His eyes shifted to the side, making eye contact with Melody. He blinked at her upset expression, and a furrow appeared on his brow. After a bit, he realized what she wanted; he reached to the side, picked up a cookie, and offered it to his loyal follower.

Melody accepted the cookie and lowered her head to look at it. She had only wanted to see Vurs reaction to one of his friends casually stabbing his acquaintance; for some reason, she was handed a cookie. Melody relaxed and sat back, taking a bite out of the cookie. Since Vur wasnt worried about Kim Hajuns potential death, what did she have to worry about? Perhaps that was why Tafel and Lindyss were unconcerned as well.

Kim Hajun touched his stomach, his hands quickly turning red with blood. Jackal was your subordinate? His eyes widened as he raised his head and stared at Mary. Then, you must be the real mastermind behind Virtuous Hand.

Thats right, Mary said and nodded her head.

Kim Hajun coughed out another mouthful of blood and turned his head towards Ashley and Jasmine, the two lords sitting next to each other on a bench made from a large, living root. Light Lord, Wind Lord, he said and gasped for breath. Shes the leader of Virtuous Hand. If the Virtuous Hand continues to exist, the tower will fall to the Oebu Sin sooner or later.

Ashley blinked at Kim Hajun while Jasmine turned her head towards Ashley. Hey, should we help him? Jasmine asked. He looks so desperate.

Ashley shook her head. It doesnt look like he needs any help, the Light Lord said. Mary did say she was going to beat him within an inch of death; shes not going to kill him.

Kim Hajun turned his head towards Tafel. The demon shrugged and said, Just accept your beating. You did kill her underling.
