Chapter 1024
The red mist wrapped around Jeok Ho as he made his way to Hwang Ho's mansion.
Jeok Ho's mission this time was to tail the Earthquake Knight.
Originally, the other Hojo family members had been watching the hotel where the Chinese team was staying, but when the Earthquake Knight started moving, Jeok Ho took over the task.
Though it was said the Earthquake Knight had been struck by a plague, he was still one of the top ten team leaders in the world, and deceiving his senses would require someone like Jeok Ho.
Normally, Jeok Ho would have performed his task indifferently, but this time, his thoughts were filled with more complexity.
There were two reasons for this, both deeply connected to the Hojo family.
‘How dare that rotten bastard, both in face and mind, try to toy with Cheong Ho’s body…!’
Jeok Ho swallowed a stream of curses that would have left Kim Shin-rok speechless.
Had he not been engaged in a covert operation, he would have openly cursed, but he had to hold it in.
Although Jeok Yeon had somewhat muffled the sounds, Jeok Ho knew he still had to be cautious.
The basics of infiltration were to act as if you weren’t there, to hide your presence as though you were dead. He couldn’t afford to be recklessly cursing aloud.
Suppressing his urge to curse, his mood became even more complicated.
It was because of the “omission of existence” that had been mentioned recently among the Hojo family.
‘It’s hard to believe, but Eun Ho’s words are likely true. He’s been clever at plotting since the old days. Something is missing, I suppose.’
Jeok Ho recalled the ancient myth of Gaechun.
When he had been bound in the red frame and punished, he endured by thinking about those times and his son.@@novelbin@@
