“Seolhwa.”
Yu Kang, with a worried voice, tried to pull his hand away from Seolhwa’s grasp. In an instant, they were surrounded by thick smoke so dense that they could not see an inch ahead. It was only natural for him to be anxious.
“It’s fine. You know he’s not one to be shaken by something like this.”
“But...”
“Right now, worry about yourself.”
The smoke bombs weren’t just for facing Gu Yang-do.
Perhaps...
‘Elder, Kang is with me, so don’t worry.’
‘How could I worry with you behind me?’
If only considering the skills of Baekyeong and Gu Yang-do, as Yu Kang said, this kind of smoke wouldn’t be a problem for Gu Yang-do.
However.
‘The elder is also mindful of the Heavenly Demon’s presence.’
What Gu Yang-do was wary of was the Heavenly Demon’s intervention. Perhaps he was worried that someone of his similar level might suddenly jump into the fight.
‘So I’d better deal with the small fry.’
Seolhwa quickly scanned the auras of the dozen or so men who started moving as soon as the smoke spread. They were the warriors of the Traceless Squad who had been hiding until just moments ago. Seolhwa grabbed Yu Kang’s hand.
“Even if I let go, don’t let go.”
“Okay.”
