They were surprised to hear a familiar voice. The voice belonged to none other than Chun Yooha. It made them wonder where the voice was coming from.
- You said she's a cruel woman who doesn't bleed or cry. I think you should reconsider that a bit.
Lee Gun's and Kevin's eyes turned round.
Chun Yooha's voice came from the phone in Hugo's hand. It seemed Hugo had received a call from his daughter, and she had been hearing Kevin's story.
Hugo tilted his head in puzzlement. "Yooha? Were you talking about the Scorpio Saint right now?"
- Yes.
"What do you mean, we should reconsider how we think about her? You've never met the Scorpio Saint before."
- I have met her.
Lee Gun flinched in surprise.
"You met her? That woman?"
"Have you lost your mind?"
Hugo turned pale. It was as if he wanted to reach in through the phone. "Yooha!! You had the nerve to do that!"
His reaction was understandable. The Scorpio Saint should have been an enemy of Chun Yooha's! She was fighting the Leo Saint for supremacy of the north!
Moreover, Yooha was an S-rank. The fact that a high-rank disciple met an enemy Zodiac Saint meant only two things!
'Either death or changing allegiance! Those are the only two options!'
Instead of killing a hundred lowly disciples, killing one high-rank disciple or a disciple with high faith was more beneficial. High-rank disciples immediately translated to the power of one's Zodiac.
Therefore, the Zodiac Saints recruited or killed any disciples they ran across who were over the A-rank.
Hugo's heart had skipped a beat, but his daughter spoke as if she were talking about the weather.
- I met her at the Scorpio Saint's forest when I went to her holy ground
"What? Scorpio Saint's forest?" For some odd reason, Hugo foamed at the mouth. He almost fainted when he heard the name.
Kevin looked like a chill had run up his back.
Even the Zodiac Saints had reacted in such a way for a reason.
"You were lucky to make it back out alive from the forest!"
That was right. The Scorpio Saint's forest, which Chun Yooha spoke of, lay within the Scorpio Saint's holy ground. Nicknamed the death forests, it was a group of forests full of traps. These forests were located in the north.
That woman ruled over territories in Northern Europe, Russia, Canada, etc. Currently, she was pushing southward past the Netherlands as she fought with the Virgo Saint. In North America, she fought with the Leo Saint at the northern border of the US.
Anyway, the Scorpio Saint specialized in traps and assassination, and she had made the forest a giant trap that devours disciples. It was her nest. No one had come out of her forest alive.
"You act as if rules don't apply to you. There is a reason we don't send our disciples there. I doubt the Leo Saint would send his underlings there."
"Right! Why did you go to such a dangerous place, Yooha?"
- The Scorpio Saint contacted my temple. She said she was willing to sell Uncle's holy item.
"!"
Lee Gun's eyes turned round at the mention of his name.
