Chapter 35

"What on earth is Master thinking?"

The man, the second-in-command of the group. Jun-hwan grumbled while hiding behind a utility pole.

"There must be a reason. Even if Master is whimsical and playful, there's no way he would be so friendly to a stranger hunter for no reason."

Especially to a Gate Stealer, the woman added quietly.

"Is he planning to reclaim the Gate Core when the opportunity arises?"

"What's there to spy on? It's ours anyway. We just need to take it back confidently."

"Then... could it be that he fell in love at first sight?"

Yeah, that would be more plausible.

Indeed, Min-ju seemed to have recently entered her rebellious phase. She seemed more irritable than before.

So, it's natural for her to start showing interest in the opposite sex. In fact, compared to kids these days, it might even be considered late.

"Does he have a thing for older women?"

They watched the woman walking beside Master. Then, Jun-hwan tilted his head.

"Hmm, but I feel like I've seen that woman somewhere before."

"What? Where?"

The gazes of his comrades all turned to Jun-hwan. Jun-hwan tilted his head.

"I don't know. Where did I see her?"

"You're addicted to SNS. Isn't it some woman you followed somewhere?"

"I don't think so..."

What is it? It's strangely familiar. Did I see her on TV? She doesn't seem to be a celebrity or an actor.

While feeling uneasy without an answer, one of his comrades shouted.

"Hey! She's moving. Let's follow her."

The group's comrades continued to tail Galaxy and Min-ju. Composed entirely of Rankers, they almost perfectly concealed their presence.

However.
