Chapter 916: PAID

Childhood Friend of the ZenithWords: 1116

As Gubong desperately hoped I wouldn’t cause trouble, I found myself clenching my fists instinctively.

What the hell was this? What’s with those eyes?

‘This bastard is pissing me off.’

My anger flared. Should I just gouge his eyes out? Or smash his face halfway so he’d never make that expression again?

As I weighed my options—

"What is it? Do you have business with me?"

The guard frowned at me.

"I don’t like your face."

This bastard.

"If you don’t like it, what are you going to—"

"We’re in a hurry. Please, let’s move along!"

Just as I was about to step forward, Gubong grabbed my wrist.

He smiled awkwardly at the guard as he spoke.

"My apologies. My junior seems to be in a bad state today."

"Junior? Who are you calling junior—!"

"Let’s go, junior."

Before I could protest further, he started dragging me away.

I could have easily broken free if I wanted to, but for now, I let it go.

Then, just like before, I heard a voice mutter near my ear.

"Those Mount Hua bastards are so arrogant. Tsk."

Hearing that, I frowned deeply.

It was clear—

‘There’s something going on here.’
