Chapter: 348

Old man flinched and turned, and Lee Hameng’s red sword was penetrating into the old man’s neck.

‘No...!’

And that was the last sight the old man saw in his life.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Lady Mu screamed as she looked at the head.

‘Uncle Suhn!’

Old man was the apprentice of former leader of Wise clan, Suhn Ginung. He was a teacher to Lady Mu since she was very young and had been trusty guard for her entire life. It was shocking to see his death. Lady Mu became confused. She didn’t imagined that Left Guardian was involved in this.

‘Wait... his ‘servants’ are...?’

Lady Mu looked at Lee Hameng with disbelief. Lee Hameng bowed to Yeowun politely and flashed the old man’s head.

“It’s as you said, Prince.”

“Thank you, Left Guardian.”

“You’re welcome.”

They weren’t trying to hide their relationships either. Lady Mu bit on his lips. She shouted angrily at Lee Hameng.

“Left guardian! Since when the guardians supported a candidate of the heir?! You are breaking the laws of the cult!”

Lee Hameng then turned to Lady Mu for the first time and spoke.

“Lady Mu. It’s been a while.”

“I don’t care if it’s been a while. Answer my question!”

Lee Hameng grinned at Lady Mu’s anger.

“I am sure the competition is already over.”

“T-that’s...!”

With every competitor defeated, only one who can try to become the heir was Chun Yeowun. If Yeowun doesn’t fail in gathering approvals, then it was inevitable that he will become the future Lord. And of course for other candidates who were drove out, they would gain another chance if Yeowun dies, and that was why Lady Mu had set up this trap.

Lady Mu became more angered at Lee Hameng’s attitude and gritted her teeth.

“You think this is over?! Did you forget I still hold onto the people you love?”

She had failed in bringing her sons back, but she still had Guard Jang and two of Chun Yeowun’s members. Even if Lee Hameng appeared here, she thought Yeowun will not try to do anything reckless while she still had hostages.

‘But with Lee Hameng here, I won’t be able to kill him. I have to return back to the clan while I hold onto those hostages.’

If Chun Yeowun was alone, she could have done something by using her forces here, but with Lee Hameng joined, then it was too late. Two supreme level warrior was enough to wipe out forces at the place. It was better for her to wait until elders from six clans to return.

‘I have to join forces with them and kill Chun Yeowun. This is out of my boundary.’

If Chun Yeowun was alone, she would have found way to kill him, but if Yeowun had members then it was different. And as Yeowun looked at Lady Mu silently thinking, he spoke.

“You sure you have those hostages?”

“...Don’t try my patience. I will kill that Guard Jang to show you that I am not bluffing.”
