Chapter 297

The expedition e and h they had taken a few o’s house, they were able to reach a place a day or tay froo to bed early today and leave early the next , Chi-Woo ordered everyone to h it could be considered relatively safe because they were around the sanctuary, they couldn’t let their guard down Chi-Woo, who firmly believed that expeditions were not fully over until one returned safely houard duty

It was a quiet night While pondering the conversation she had with the old dingo, Evelyn poked at the bonfire

“We’ll arrive at the city around tohts, and she shi+fted her gaze She saw Chi-Woo sitting up and looking at soaze, her question was quickly answered She saw a sht in the darkness—it was the baby fenrir The cub was also staring at Chi-Woo with their head peeking out

“Once we go back to the city, I’ll be super busy There are sooutif I should include you as one ofeach other with interest Chi-Woo had told them to not bother the fenrir cub and leave thee?

“I’ll take care of you if you want,” Chi-Woo continued quietly “However, I have no intention to force you Although I was asked to take care of you by your her”

The cub did not respond and quietly listened

“You can continue to follow me like this, or leave if you want If you don’t want to do either, I can find someone else to take care of you I have a very reliable older brother a that the cub was looking at hi, but they remained silent

“It’s not that I don’t kno you feel… I think I’ve given you as hts” Chi-Woo hesitated and suddenly ru bag and stood up to carefully place so a sufficient distance fro me reluctantly because of this…”

Evelyn’s eyes widened It was a fang

“I’ll give it back to you,” Chi-Woo finished Thewas one of the main materials that La Bella demanded for the reliquia “You can take it if you want,” Chi-Woo repeated himself

Evelyn couldn’t understand his decision The fang wasn’t just difficult to obtain; it was valuable to the point that he ain Given how hard he’d worked for it, the payment was bound to be enormous However, Chi-Woo’s choice just noas no different than giving up this huge reward

Evelyn wanted to ih she thought it was crazy in her ht, ‘Yeah, uts’

Then the fenrir cub, as quietly crouching, finally stood up The cub slowly approached Chi-Woo as if they really had been chasing hi And then—

“Ah” Evelyn softly exclai back towards Chi-Woo Then the cub tilted their head to the fullest to reveal their teeth Although it hadn’t been long since they were born, their teeth shone clearly under the , burst into laughter without realizing it because of what the cub was clearly trying to convey

The cub was telling Chi-Woo they didn’t need Hurodvitniru’s fang because they had their own fangs On second thought, Hurodivitu was the one who had handed hihtfully Chi-Woo’s The baby fenrir clearly understood that

“…Yeah I got it” Chi-Woo also seemed to have understood the cub’s intentions as he picked the fang back up “Anyway, if it’s not because of this…why don’t you make a decision before dawn? As I told you before, you can leave if you want I won’t stop you But if you’re still here after dawn, I’ll take that as you asking ot it?”

“Ruff” At last, the fenrir cub finally opened their mouth Then they went back to their place and crouched down The action made their intention clear—they would stay and follow Chi-Woo rather than taking their leave Chi-Woo s the fenrir’s answer

“…I’ll have to give you a name first when I return” Like this, their relationshi+p was established, and Chi-Woo had to act as the cub’s guardian for the tih he now had ht he should do a good job since he’d decided to take care of the cub

Chi-Woo said, “It’s cold Don’t sleep on the ground Co, the fenrir glanced at it However, they didn’t move

“It’s okay You don’t have to be afraid You won’t want to coet in because of hoarm It is”

The fenrir cub snorted, but didn’t seeestion Even when Chi-Woo reached out to them, they didn’t back away like before Moreover, they didn’t refuse even when Chi-Woo gently held and lifted their body

“By the hat should I call you? What do you like? Okay What about ruffruff?”

The cub, as being dragged away as if it couldn’t be helped, bit Chi-Woo’s hand as soon as they heard this

“Ah, it hurts!” Chi-Woo jumped and dropped the fenrir cub Then the cub ran and disappeared into the sleeping bag Chi-Woo raged and said things like, “You naughty punk, get out of there”, “Get out at the count of three”, and “You want a spanking?”

The expeditionthat an enemy had attacked Evelyn held onto Chi-Woo to stop hiht to herself, ‘To be honest, Ruffruff—no, the fenrir cub had every right to bite him’

The next day arrived Chi-Hyun, who had been working in the , went out to the streets around the afternoon His destination was the city gate, and he cainally planned to tell Chi-Woo to run to hied Ever since he saw the strange signs in the sky teeks ago, he hadn’t been able to sleep There were so s he needed to ask his brother as soon as he arrived

Since Chi-Hyun received Chi-Woo’s e yesterday, it was now about tiht, and soon after, the expedition tea Chi-Woo, could be seen from afar Chi-Hyun’s eyes narrowed a little when he saw a few faer brother He didn’t look pleased

Considering that the other Celestial Lights saw Chi-Hyun as their number one competition, Chi-Hyun didn’t like them either There was no reason for hih they approached him first, their intentions were all too obvious In fact, Chi-Hyun had been displeased that his younger brother teahts He wanted to take his brother aside and tell him to not play with those kids, but Chi-Hyun stopped himself If he really did that, he would never hear the end of it from Chi-Woo

‘Anyway…’ The ood He heard the news froardless of the process, the outcome of the expedition was a perfect success The merit they achieved was enorain by accoue had failed to achieve As such, Chi-Hyun thought they would look prideful and enter with confidence, but everyone looked like they suffered a crushi+ng defeat He didn’t knohat happened, but there seemed to be some unknown circumstances Since the mood was like this, the expedition team quickly disbanded, and Chi-Hyun was about to show his face after he saw the Celestial Lights leave one by one—

Tap, tap, tap! He suddenly heard so Chi-Hyun, as about to step out, looked toward the direction of the sound ‘That guy…?’

A youngback as if he had left so important behind Chi-Hyun kneho it was—it was no other than Eh he was at the lowest rank in his family, he was still a member of the top six fa but a hero who prided hi a pure human blood hero like the Afriliths and identified with the Choi Fa nicely To speak bluntly withoutwords, they were just punks whose pride reached the heavens with nothing to show for it Anyway, he wondered why a vain lu towards Chi-Woo Chi-Hyun decided to quietly watch the situation What happened next made him blink quickly

Emmanuel stopped in front of Chi-Woo and breathed heavily “…Teacher” Then he suddenly knelt down on both knees with a determined face

It wasn’t just Chi-Hyun Chi-Woo also seeuard Better to break than to bend—this was the line that described the Eustitia Family But a member of a family that could even rival the Choi Family in pride was on his knees? Why?

“Please tell hs and looked up at Chi-Woo with tre as you, Teacher? I want to be strong No, I have to get stronger!” E else and was more desperate than ever He even lowered his head and said, “Please…teach ht, and everyone’s reactions were sihtly lowered

‘…It’ll be better to wait at ho quietly, turned around He didn’t knohat had happened, but he ot back

Chi-Woo’s return home was later than expected because of Eed to send E he’d call him later to talk, but Chi-Woo had been extremely flustered by Emmanuel’s request He didn’t know another shock would be waiting for him as soon as he returned
