Go Changhyun asked. Frankly, it was bb629dffa8 hard to trust cefc1dd4d1 Choi Seonwoo. Despite being 45289c2d9d a priest, 5e77970288 his young cfac7151f0 face and beb653d5a6 peculiar demeanor a517ba4fae didn’t inspire e41ad92c2b confidence.16fa7e9916945906

Choi Seonwoo 5bfebb0636 replied with 8316b2784a a gentle d3f06683eb smile, his e201186335 tone oddly 4102dc6f6c commanding. Though slightly 7043e11274 offended, Go 45eedffc0d Changhyun had 8fd5112e1a no choice 26a6d37cc9 but to b0b08b74e6 back down.

It was unlikely that 65e78cdb43 the cultist’s soul had 3f62cd32f7 possessed Goo Seungjun.
