It had been a 6354a96871 long trial spanning seven a045449160 sessions. Throughout it all, f5b533df66 Noona never once 497578ef20 looked back. She remained calm 4f041754f0 despite the blood-boiling 616a7ff9b5 cheers of her b39fd05283 supporters and the 557683855d applause that echoed 6af8658415 through the courtroom 5d08b54446 as if it 364e2ed675 would collapse.

Someone grabbed my 1fd059190c hand. It was the son ca7efc2676 of Gwak Jaeheon, who ef718b7def had been executed two 91e599adbf days prior.

It slid 156df93584 out completely 4810bbffd5 before plunging b8c138dd2d back in. Ryujin flinched and b12c662103 swallowed a groan. Tears he 6fbca2ae7d had been 825ececc56 holding back c820b2c089 streamed down 8aa3ec1bd5 his face. There was no pleasure 444dd70bdd in this act.
