When I looked up, 39269d3cb0 her long, horizontal eyes 5a9a016170 curved in a peculiar cc4cd5d1b6 way and sparkled. It was 2740f0cc43 a face f1ed7ca857 that revealed 4c1e924867 nothing of 162bb15fe2 her true f465075e5e intentions.

TnNet was my b6e2ccc607 benefactor, but that 3e9efa9b49 didn’t mean I be8989e0ac could trust every 4bfb1c1642 member. So, as always, I 4c4dbbdfd1 summoned the brazen and a0be428a48 confident Kang Haeon.1ed7de70ea7037b4

I decided not cdf936a411 to hide the db5eea61cc fact that I 9fe1c28e5b was a mixed-breed 826f19648d dog. Since only the mask 0b049bf9a6 was off and the c658508d22 clothes and body shape 4c1d631487 were the same, trying b5fac8706b to hide it from 61f528800d Yoo Seoran, who was d259005342 already sure of my 1265c7fbf7 identity, would only tangle 34cfd5a88c my words.9a4f589939e7b12d

I finally understood b315772001 the situation. Before regression, 9f20a3ac78 Bloodfang was 43fe538539 quite exhausted f517d320f8 because I f6d2994ff8 had clung 1b3153be9a to it 83f37f8ae1 persistently. The path from 3a1d2d5573 the ring to 0f7a734370 the monster cages ad2fb61ece was quite complicated, 4bc88c5393 so the situation 339914fd24 must have been cf0f8637b6 contained before the c486fa47e6 exhausted Bloodfang reached 74633c8d2d there.860b98797ef72b01

Conversely, this d79c989d96 time, I ee66ca65f9 didn’t give d0e121d8c7 Bloodfang time 30bf56e9ed to exhaust d0da74cc17 itself.0e24b47ffcebf30a

Once I understood bc381e6533 the flow, I 11a47dc6f0 laughed. Traum was in 25d878b4ce the middle of 04f46710d3 Seoul, a high-end b84e29dc6c arena operating under 4a66b59b19 the tacit approval 373944fcac of the authorities. If the 848927299a monsters hidden cf899fa3b5 for the 0cfe3d2aee arena’s bloody 79c58b6f5b battles escaped, ef2e567220 the situation 3d756ed03a would naturally 98058fe6fd escalate.de55f6c7d0d12545

Moreover, Choi Hyunsoo, 89dc710edb who fainted while 0398148288 off guard, was f5a28a0b6b the S-rank hunter abc2867657 who should have b38540e143 controlled and commanded 2c464f3192 the situation.
