Chapter 1003
Though he wasn’t bare-faced, it was a relief to meet a tiger again after a few days.
Even though I knew it wasn’t the real thing, the familiar energy of the tiger made me feel a little more at ease.
Despite interrupting my rare, deep sleep, I didn’t feel any negative emotions.
‘I knew you’d come eventually. It took longer than I expected.’
With such a suspicious and conspicuous group in the Hojo territory, Hwang-ho couldn’t have just sat idly by.
The reason he hadn’t come earlier was either because he was busy with a mission or someone had stopped him, and it was obvious.
Even if he were busy, a tiger like him wouldn’t hesitate to invest time in something interesting, so the latter was more likely.
‘This is an opportunity. Here, I need to spark his interest with words befitting an oracle. If I go on like this, I’ll end up just being watched by the Hojo without any interaction.’
Cheong-ho prioritizes newcomers, so there’s no room to dig deeper.
Jeok-ho’s interest is focused on Wungyeo, so he is indifferent to us.
To catch Baek-ho’s eye, I’d have to show strength capable of matching swords, but he’s nowhere to be seen.@@novelbin@@
Also, Eun-ho would never reveal himself.
He’d surely be watching from afar through other Hojo members, fearing that I might read the hidden secrets related to him.
Therefore, I needed to grab Hwang Jiho’s attention this time and use this chance to talk with the Hojo.
“Hmmm, I heard you’re polite, but no greeting?”
“I just woke up from a nap and didn’t know what was going on. Hello, sorry for the late greeting. I thought you’d be coming soon.”
What do you think?
