Daldal: Main story

Chapter 108

Chae Yoon-sa arrived at the brothel early in the morning. Despite being aware of Eun-oh's escape the previous night, he remained calm.

There was no trace of impatience, he believed getting his servant back was only a matter of time, a task well within his control. Therefore, he did not do anything rash like going out to look without a purpose at night before dawn.

According to reports, the escape had only been noticed for a day. The servant couldn't have gone far. There was a possibility he hadn't even left Changhyun. If a significant amount of time had passed, Chae Yoon-sa would have put a bounty on him and issued a wanted notice throughout the entire country.

However, for just one day, hiring a bounty hunter wasn't needed.

His decision was fast. However, the night was already deep, and in the darkness, many things naturally faced limitations. Hence, he waited-for the break of dawn.

While waiting, he contemplated how to handle the mouse he was about to retrieve. Still feeling the lingering bloody smell of murdered Yokai in the air.

During this time, a messenger arrived.

It was a messenger sent by Jeon Su Gyeom.

"Hello, Master Yoon-sa. I come from the brothel. I apologize for the late visit and offer my greetings. I hurriedly came with important news to deliver."

Certainly, the timing of the visit was not appropriate. In fact, it could be considered quite rude. On the contrary, one could interpret it as a sign of urgent matters requiring such disregard for etiquette.

Recognizing that this was no ordinary situation, Chae Yoon-sa invited the messenger into the house to question about the urgent business.

The message the messenger delivered was anything but ordinary.

"The person who sent me is Master Jeon. He has found a lost item and is keeping it at the brothel. He instructs you to come and retrieve it. That's the message."

The meaning behind the message was quite clear. Chae Yoon-sa was astounded and burst into laughter.

Capturing him so easily, in such an unexpected and absurd way, was a surprisingly fast and bizarre arrest.

With that, Chae Yoon-sa immediately left Chae ga-won and headed to the brothel.

Changhyun's brothel was located at the southernmost part, centered around western province. Arriving at the brothel around two o'clock, he was met, as expected, by none other than Jeon Su Gyeom.

"He's..."

Chae Yoon-sa didn't even exchange greetings and immediately asked about Eun-oh's whereabouts. Jeon Su Gyeom, as if expecting this, chuckled and played along.

"He was sleeping comfortably somewhere."

"Where?"

"Where? Somewhere around here."

"But your expression right now is quite terrifying. And you had to bring that eerie thing with you huh. Can you hear it? There seems to be some strange sounds coming from it. Oooo... scary..."

Casting a glance at the Hwando in Chae Yoon-sa's hand, Jeon Su Gyeom playfully feigned shivering and trembling. However, his attempts at humor fell flat, and weren't well-received.

"Enough of that."

"Haha. Did I go too far? Okay, okay, I will stop it"

"The servant is sleeping right now. Sleeping very soundly, it seems. Besides, you seem quite angry right now. Looking like you're in the mood for a stabbing spree."
