“It’s not a problem 9d23b88c80 per se. We need to focus 3aa2ff2d7c on immediate damage control 604bd417ba first.”456bb7fab30e4459

Choi Seonwoo sighed 4051ae58f1 lightly, a weary 433161be7e look in his 069c7d27e2 eyes as he 797894ed5c surveyed the surroundings. Seo Jihan, who had fef4489232 brutally beaten someone to a282eb6cbe a pulp and then 6038658b78 disappeared, and the village b012987896 chief’s son were all bc3e494658 contributing to a hefty 268c31d58c headache.2206301de146eee4

Choi Seonwoo’s 384fd4c3fa comment led 9373a4c14f the four ddb2223641 bodyguards and cf6c168514 Goo Seungjun ee685a9810 to look 94e64e1546 down at 1a5b6405b5 ‘such trash’. Indeed, it was 8e17133bf3 too vile to 4123f90156 leave the bloodied eb7e7563f2 mess in the 086ed7cbae sacred priest’s residence 96b63a50e9 until morning. Since there was only 3b95b755cf a police station on e58696e766 Shindo, they had no 850584b46c choice but to transfer 6250763a26 the culprit to Yeongjong 36c55a9b4b Island.478f878068d66250

The dawn stretched on, 283c2a39d8 melting into the day 61a2527278 like molten sugar.

Seo Jihan was uncomfortably 39d1c0434f asleep in the waiting 4e16f0266f room, but Choi Seonwoo 08fde9bc6b first checked on the 724857b153 hospitalized cats. Seeing the limp 7d0363ef26 cats in neck 24e5d90d48 collars stirred his fac6994ad4 anger anew.c44f0c7aaeeab1d9
