When I said I’d take the Cult Leader down with me, the White-Robed Scholar’s face lit up. I’d never seen his face that bright before, so I made a decision deep down.

“Like hell I’ll go down with him…”

I’m surviving no matter what. Run and live, that’s the plan.

Truthfully, all of the Four Villains were exhausted, but just the White-Robed Scholar being present in the inn felt like he was standing guard. So naturally, I thought we should bait and hold onto him, even if we had to provoke him a bit.

But first, the White-Robed Scholar decided to provoke Cha Seong-tae.

“A fool who looks like he’d die like a frog hit by a rock if struck dares to run his mouth. Even with the Haomun Lord next to you, I could rip that mouth of yours open—so watch your tongue, General Cha.”

We all looked at Cha Seong-tae’s face. Apparently, he’d left his life back in Ilyang County—he was just picking at his ear with his finger.
