Chapter: 996

To them, Hu Bong was someone who was aiming to take away the life of Nam Gung-kyong.

It was funny for Hu Bong to hear that the Yulin leaders were trying to take credit for catching the wounded man.

“Excuse me, Leader Nam Gung-kyong. Didn’t you run away because I cut your arm with my sword?”

Hu Bong asked Nam Gung-kyong, who was bound by ropes and held captive.

At that, without even making eye contact, Nam Gung-kyong mumbled.

“There was no such thing.”

“Hah! The cut on your arm must have burned too, can’t you get yourself to remember that? You are one hell of a spineless man.”

Hu Bong’s face turned red as he slowly began to get annoyed.

If it wasn’t for the sake of alliance, his hands, which were twitching, would have already killed the man.

“I was caught by leader Moyong Kang and Hong Pilwoo, I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Nam Gung-kyong spoke awkwardly as his real identity was revealed.

However, Nam Gung-kyong had no other option but to side with the Yulin.

‘I should never get taken in by those men.’

The Demonic Cult would rip him open to know everything about the organization and his death would be the obvious result. He would be tortured so they would get the information they wanted.

“Still, weren’t you the one who got him, Hu Bong?”

“Lord.”

When Hu Bong was getting annoyed, Chun Yeowun came towards them after capturing Noh Do-kyung.

Unlike when dealing with Hu Bong, the moment Chun Yeowun appeared, the Leaders turned stiff.

‘Even if it is the Lord of Demonic Cult we shouldn’t just hand him over.’

‘His power is not normal.’

They were both terrified in their hearts because they were looking at a monster with their very own eyes. However, the loss they would face from losing Nam Gung-kyong was too great.

‘Great Leader!’

Hong Palwoo, a leader, glanced in the direction of Great Leader Yi Mok, asking for help.

And he came forward, as it was only appropriate for the leaders of each side to have a conversation.

‘Hmm...’

Nam Gung-kyong sent a telepathic message to Yi Mok.

[I apologize! If I get taken over, the information of the organization and the secrets within the faction will all fall into the hands of the Demonic Cult... if that happens, not only the Forces of Justice but the entire Yulin will be in great danger, are you fine with that?]

The reason why the leaders were going so far to protect him was because they heard the same message from Nam Gung-kyong too.

While contemplating what to do, when he heard that voice, Yi Mok seemed to make up his mind.

‘There is truth in the words of Nam Gung-kyong.’
