Chapter 679: PAID

“Are you sure this is okay…?”

Nahi’s voice broke the silence as we walked down the path. It came right after Bumdong disappeared, dragging the Flying Dragon Division away.

I glanced at her briefly before asking back.

“What do you mean?”

When I met her gaze, Nahi lowered her head and answered hesitantly.

“I’m concerned about letting the Flying Dragon Commander go so easily…”

“Why? Do you think that kind of threat won’t be enough?”

“…”

Nahi didn’t respond, her silence answering my question.

She probably thought I should’ve done more.

I understood her worry.

‘She must be wondering why I used such a simple approach when there were better options.’

All I did to Bumdong was threaten him using his family.

I didn’t place a binding spell on him, nor did I corrupt him with demonic Qi.

‘I could have, but I didn’t.’

I’d already imbued him with demonic Qi, ready to crush him if necessary.

And setting a binding curse would have been just as easy.

But I had my reasons for holding back.

“You don’t need to worry about it. I’ve already thought this through.”

“But if the commander ends up revealing everything…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“He won’t.”

The mention of his daughter was enough to keep Bumdong in line.

I was sure of it.

‘The guy cares deeply for his daughter.’

I knew he had a child from my past life.

When Bumdong succumbed to becoming a demon, it became public knowledge that he’d hidden a child in Hubei.

The Peng family used that knowledge to take his daughter hostage.

At the time, I doubted he’d care about his child after becoming a demon.

But to my surprise, as soon as the news spread, Bumdong stormed into the Peng family alone.

The result? He was assassinated by the Peng family.

Even after transforming into a demon, he showed how much he valued his blood ties.

‘And even if he doesn’t care this time…’

It wouldn’t matter.

“There are still ways I can use him. Just focus on what I asked you to do.”

“…Understood.”

Nahi bowed slightly. I turned to her and asked,

“What about her?”

I was referring to the crazy woman who destroyed the Flying Dragon Division earlier. Nahi answered cautiously.
