Episode #163. I’ll hit you.

Click.
A white-haired woman hung up the phone.
Tata muttered to himself in a dry voice.
“Thanks to the princess, the schedule has gone quite awry.”
According to the original plan, Ainsha should still be dating her destined partner.
And it was only after Tata had completed all the preparations and started working that she realized the situation.
But that plan collapsed.
The fact that Ainsha called her at this point was proof of that.
Of course, there was also a way to earn time by responding to the call and pretending nothing happened.
Because Ainsha had absolute trust in herself.
Nevertheless, Tata did not do that because he saw a future in which he would eventually fail at the point of meeting Ainsha.
“It doesn’t matter.”
The plan collapsed.
Ainsha’s trust was abandoned.
Danger is on the way.
But Tata was neither disappointed nor worried.
He just turned around and spoke quietly.
“No matter what the princess does now, the future has already been decided.”
Tata walked silently, holding a briefcase, along the road leading to the future he had seen.

Tata comes into contact with Moon Cheon-yeop.
When he found the business card of the Liberation Brigade from Moon Cheon-yeop.
Limon honestly reflected on his arrogance in thinking that nothing could be more troublesome than this.
I forgot to say that reality always transcends imagination.
“Your nanny said she would betray you and hung up?”
“That’s right.”
“Didn’t you say your nanny could never have betrayed you?”
“That’s right. So shocking.”
It would be better if I could not speak.
Looking at Ainsha who answered clearly, even with an expressionless face, I hoped that I would feel a headache again.
Limon quietly opened his mouth.
“It’s a princess.”
[All members of the Black Dragon clan have switched to an emergency system.]
“What about the spy team attached to this nanny?”
[Sorry, but they say they missed the trail.]
“Yes, I knew that.”
Limon sighed.
He had no intention of blaming the Shanghai royal family’s spies.
It was only because I was not alert in the first place that I easily found the trail in the first place.
It wasn’t an easy task even for the Black Dragon clan, who excelled in covert action, to pursue a precognition who was determined to run away.
Even more so if the opponent was a master of the rank of an elder of the White Dragon clan.
[Shall we form a tracking team?]
“No, I’ll be in charge of the tracking. So you should do some more research on that side instead.”
[Do you think it is necessary now?]
“We are not the White Dragon clan.”
[…It’s definitely as you said.]
He seemed to agree with that simple explanation.
Li Qingyu exchanged a few more words with Limon before concluding the story.
And I looked back at Ainsha.
“let’s go.”
“It is questionable. I want to know where you are going.”
“Where would you like to be? I am going to see your nanny.”
“Tata ran away. I can’t see the future I’m looking for. There is no way to find it.”
“That’s your idea.”
At Ainsha’s blunt reply, Limon smiled.
And clearly stated.
“I don’t know about you, but I’ve never lost an opponent I’ve fought once, no matter where or how I run away.”
* * *
You cannot escape from the Sword Master.
In the first place, it was a word that came about after Limon killed the demon who escaped after circling the earth thirty-seven times.
As such, Limon was a skilled tracker and hunter, and there were many secrets to it.
One of them is extrasensory.
It was the sword master’s five senses that accurately distinguished the opponent’s presence and allowed him to find it even from ten miles away.
And using that sense, Limon was following Tata’s traces one by one.
“Hmm, judging from the footprints, it looks like we stopped here for a while… did you have something to do? No, I must have received your call from here.”
“There is no hesitation in walking, but seeing that it took time to move, you must have seen Wisdom thinking about countermeasures.”
“Then it’s highly likely that they’ve set up some countermeasures against the tracking, but… well, let’s find out as we go.”
Footprints that are usually difficult to recognize.
With that alone, Limon’s ability to pinpoint not only Tata’s path of movement, but also her behavior and way of thinking, is truly phenomenal.
Even Tracer with the tracking skill was astonished.
That is why Ainsha, who had been silently watching Limon, opened her mouth bluntly.
“I have a question for you.”
“What?”
“I want to know why you are wasting your time.”
“Do I look like I’m wasting my time?”
“That’s right.”
Ainsha immediately nodded.
And he spoke with an expressionless face.
“There is no need to check the actions of Tata. You just need to know where you went. Then you can catch up much faster.”
Ainsha’s point was valid.
Limon’s tracking is delayed because he carefully reviewed what Tata did and when.
Otherwise, the tracking speed would have been several times higher than now.
But after hearing that, Limon put on a sullen expression.
“What if I chase you? After that?”
“I’m looking for Tata. catch it.”
“In short, are you telling me to just run after me and kill your nanny?”
“…Once you subdue it. And interrogate.”
“Okay. I guarantee you that if I meet your nanny now, no matter how unwilling to kill her, I will end up killing her.”
“…”
“You know why?”
More like a threat than a warning.
But Ainsha knew.
It means that there is a high possibility that Limon’s words will come true.
So she didn’t object.
I just offered a suitable alternative.
“Then just kill me.”
“…wasn’t it you who said you wanted to save the nanny somehow?”
“That is me from before.”
Ainsha said calmly to Limon, who was dumbfounded by the remark that overturned the premise itself so far.
“Tata has betrayed me. You can’t let it live. These are the rules of the Seven Dragons.”
The reason he wanted to save Tata even if he had to kill his fateful partner, Lee, was because he was an indispensable talent for the White Dragon clan.
But since she betrayed her clan, she must be executed.
With an expressionless face like a mask,
a blunt voice without emotion, and
above all, with unwavering eyes.
Looking at Ainsha who asserted without hesitation, Limon understood again.
Even if she looks like a nerdy girl, she is the White Dragon Princess.
One of the seven masters of the Seven Dragons, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Qingyu…
“Yes. Why do you think you do something extraordinary for a fool? After all, a fool is a fool who can’t help it.”
“…?”
…that he is the greatest fool of the Seven Dragons.
I don’t know why I have to be called an idiot.
Ainsha tilted her head.
Limon said quietly to her.
“Ainsha, no, White Dragon Princess. I won’t interfere with your choices. You are originally from that clan, and as their princess, you just made a natural decision.”
No matter how pitiful or lamentable it may seem, it’s their way.
He had no reason to interfere.
“Instead, it will take some determination to sabotage what I am trying to do.”
However, since he was already entangled in prophecies, he had no reason to interfere with himself, but he had qualifications.
Looking at Limon, who spoke coldly, Ainsha couldn’t say anything.
I just blankly blinked my eyes.
Leading her, Limon continued to pursue Tata’s trail.
I read and analyzed in detail every single action and psychology that Tata would have taken while moving.
The result of that relentless pursuit.
Limon was finally able to find it.
A drum barrel blazing a little off Tata’s escape route and a briefcase thrown into it.
A briefcase whose contents had already been burnt to ashes and only a half-melted shell remained.
However, Limon, who followed the trail of Tata terribly thoroughly, could think of many things with that alone.
‘You burned the briefcase? why?’
‘Did you just take out the contents?’
‘No, there was no sign of intentionally opening the bag on the way.’
‘…What I needed wasn’t the contents. It was to establish the future that will happen as a result by obtaining the cause and effect of obtaining this bag.’
‘It’s a very white dragon clan way.’
‘Then…’
“Ainsha.”
Ainsha did not ask why she had called her.
The moment he found the drum, he lightly unfolded the cardigan he was wearing and covered the back of Limon’s head.
Kang!
The dagger, which would normally have hit Limon in the back of the head, bounced lightly with just that.
However, Ainsha was not at all happy about what she had done.
I just muttered with an expressionless face.
“Confusion. Shock. I am astonished.”
“What a surprise.”
Limon laughed.
Then, with his eyes fixed on the burning briefcase, he continued quietly.
“Did you think that the elder who held the real power of the clan in your place betrayed you, and the other clans would remain loyal to you?”
“…”
Ainsha did not answer.
They just stared at the group dressed in white clerical uniforms surrounding them with an expressionless expression.
Originally, she should have bowed and bowed to her escort.
But now, the white dragon tribe’s monks, each holding a weapon and aiming at him.
“Hold on for a moment. Don’t kill me yet.”
“They are all traitors.”
“If you have the confidence to find your nanny without the help of me and the Black Dragon Clan, do it.”
“….”
Ainsha stretched her shoulders with an expressionless face.
Leaving her in charge of dealing with the intruder, Limon went back to thinking.
Because of that, Ainsha, who had to deal with those who were originally her escorts alone, opened her mouth quietly.
“I warn you.”
Just with an expressionless face and a blunt voice.
She declared to the many white dragon clans surrounding her.
“I urge you to lay down your weapons and surrender. Then be a little kind.”
Objectively, that was absurd.
Compared to Ainsha, who is alone, the number of white dragons surrounding them is high. If you look at the numbers alone, it’s a hundredfold difference.
Besides, they weren’t just members of the White Dragon clan.
Investigators equivalent to the warriors of the Black Dragon Clan, and even armed forces members who have all reached the level of masters.
The fact that they accompanied the princess as an escort was proof that they were the elite of the White Dragon clan.
However, no one laughed at Ainsha’s warning.
Rather, they only raised their psionic abilities to the limit in a tighter tension.
It was natural.
What they are facing right now is the White Dragon Princess.
Before being the greatest prophet of the time, he was the strongest master of the White Dragon clan.
“great.”
Even so, Ainsha was not disappointed even after seeing the investigations who did not surrender in the end.
Because I knew foreknowledge that this was going to happen anyway.
I just recommended it as it was because I saw myself soliciting it in the future.
Likewise, Ainsha continued her words coldly with the blunt attitude she could have because she had already foreseen the outcome of this fight.
“If you want to die like that, kill everyone… and beat me.”
