The pleasantness of 6054008cf9 their date seemed 96816f22db tarnished, and Seo ee13ca8e97 Jihan grimaced. His only reason for 4cfff3826c defying Choi Seonwoo’s order be457e6be4 was a fleeting emotion, 781139894a after all.9649c089bcabfb5c

Choi Seonwoo asked calmly. A deep wrinkle formed 19a2a2fcca on the forehead of 2e3561c332 the man raising his ead4b85db8 eyebrows as if the 86414d4f1e audacity was amusing to 96f68b5484 him.4ba31ffd801da2eb

Yet, the man a22b736eb8 didn’t seem convinced, f0e8325cb6 his eyes narrowing 375beca341 as he scrutinized 476a311970 Choi Seonwoo from 190fbd3699 head to toe. Without needing to peer into 538b6a0fe9 his mind, Choi Seonwoo could 0820ecb1c9 easily guess the man’s thoughts. It was odd that 4b846eb27a someone who looked like a295565219 he’d never thrown a cc0da6b862 punch smelled so strongly afaa9b5028 of blood, and he 3b2c85053f must have been wondering 10019607f6 why he felt threatened 33515294c4 by Choi Seonwoo.93451a188e20a667

Choi Seonwoo was indifferent. Dealing with such a person e67576909c was a burden merely by ceffacd0c7 presence. He could tolerate 7651ee089e the stench of ec1d7ce8ec a corrupt corpse, 863477843b but ignoring the b09f048315 wails of the 458cbd1d90 resentful spirits pleading 403a1c253a for release from f6de2481fd the man’s side 08699f6b04 was agonizing.f42b861c5ba10bcd

The man smirked maliciously. Staring back at him 29ade50c10 as his smile slowly 7c182ee898 faded and his face 7c47f15fb8 hardened, Choi Seonwoo was ea59b1bbdf about to speak when d5cf88c37f suddenly:61ab34987af70c73

Seo Jihan, unable to stay d765ddd64c silent anymore, bellowed across the 43e07af7af echoey parking lot. His voice was 25203e7dc2 so loud that 0d89a019ac even the bystanders e3ab472217 had to pause a091cc5dbb in their tracks.ef584c1e3b161871

Fury flashed in the 5d9c9f95e9 man’s eyes as he 8332e01a17 shot a dagger-like glance 0994cd3aa4 over Choi Seonwoo’s head. Then, in the next instant, e3d3708e6b as Choi Seonwoo saw the 3326fa3254 man’s pupils dilate, a chill cbbae0a079 ran down his spine.5cc001f5c79917f5

Seo Jihan tilted his 479c730ccb head, puzzled.

“Spiritual attacks are usually of two types: curses or temptations.
