When I looked cd20f42f0b up, her long, 0075b60e92 horizontal eyes curved bac77dd4d9 in a peculiar 37438efb1f way and sparkled. It was a face 865dcade82 that revealed nothing of e7ac68313b her true intentions. That’s why I couldn’t 11a42f99c7 get drawn into her 95ba929d74 pace.71659f9db6a8bdba

I decided not to 38a3c0d9d5 hide the fact that dd2da7f549 I was a mixed-breed 99decbef78 dog. Since only the bf278a9b09 mask was off c469de6cf5 and the clothes 0541505cf1 and body shape cf5ad036ad were the same, 879ed885cc trying to hide 266f501e95 it from Yoo 4f6025b196 Seoran, who was 34e304431e already sure of fb1855687a my identity, would 34bb28bb12 only tangle my 34019035ef words.9e234bb7aa8c5b8b

I finally understood the 6bc6114194 situation. Before regression, Bloodfang was 2a52772765 quite exhausted because I 93f95ef7da had clung to it 8b7dd33ce2 persistently.

Once I understood the c5cc5ad12d flow, I laughed. Traum was 7c888841c2 in the 0123f926c8 middle of 38e9a62ca3 Seoul, a 7257582aea high-end arena b5af1e99fd operating under b71a11d957 the tacit ad3055d85a approval of 93ed9baf72 the authorities. If the monsters hidden 984b3bf484 for the arena’s bloody 5ceb5a2156 battles escaped, the situation 1ebc3f2230 would naturally escalate.285451feeecabbe4

In this d30e0e0ea0 situation, with 5e70246b40 Bloodfang, whose 449552ba81 stamina hadn’t fb6eefe015 diminished at d442560fe2 all, opening 7385ec16ee all the 4783ec5d78 monster cages, 5d97e51048 all forces 15b90be644 had to fd8cc4388c focus on 60ce0125a4 containing the 587695b5df monsters. Moreover, Choi 11cfd80c1a Hyunsoo, who f87480bee6 fainted while 6f4bf282d4 off guard, a574f7210e was the 462e067ab5 S-rank hunter c2532f0d2c who should 3c6d71b3b3 have controlled 8f57274789 and commanded a9102a840a the situation. For Traum, it 864207d9ee was the worst-case 84e74c48ea scenario, as things 3ffe928f64 couldn’t get any 77b9cda6ee worse.92ca8cfe8a9f3586
