Chương 41: Chapter 41 - Cultivation World

Leo averted his gaze from the mysterious men. 

'If I were to suffer in this state for a while and then die, that would be enough to appease the souls of the victims who had been harmed by them up until now.'

It was a dirty thought to bear, but he could bear it.

"Just wait a moment; I'll release you soon," he said softly.

Carefully, he released Cheon Yeo-hwa from the iron net, ensuring she wouldn't get hurt. Though the net appeared cheaply made, Leo was surprised by how heavy it was.

'I didn't think I would have been able to escape easily, even if I had been caught in it.'

"Are you okay?" he asked, turning to face her.

Cheon Yeo-hwa, now free from the iron net, looked at Leo with a strange expression.

"Why did you save me?" she asked, her voice soft but direct.

"Do you want to go back in?" Leo replied, feigning exasperation as he gestured toward the net. He sighed when she slowly backed away.
