The intruder, who let out a suppressed groan, glared at Joo Myunghwan with murderous eyes. Joo Myunghwan sneered and placed the tip of his sword on the intruder’s remaining leg.7e921ca4a2d86dfe

Lee Min-jae, who was following Joo Myunghwan, asked cautiously. He couldn’t predict what a crazed Joo Myunghwan might do. There were too many eyes watching to pass this off as an unfortunate dungeon mishap. Especially since it was impossible to silence Yoon Soohyuk.8af78785488d301b

Joo Myunghwan spoke only in Korean. But the intent of stabbing the intruder’s intact leg with the sword tip was clear enough without needing to be said in English.577ab5ca875cdb67

The dungeon was a lawless world, but there was an unspoken rule everyone acknowledged. If you aimed for someone’s life, you had to be prepared to risk your own. Even in Korea, where most hunters were registered with the government, this rule held true.28a078a3faaf9efa

Regardless of personal feelings about Joo Myunghwan, it was understandable why he was going to such lengths to uncover the mastermind. If he handed the intruders over to the National Security Agency, Joo Myunghwan wouldn’t be able to take any further action.d4aa23d98ac1f3c7

Sneaking into a dungeon 30e85063c0 during a raid without 715431872e permission was illegal. Since the Capital Defense 9271a92769 Command was a military 68239eb9f5 facility, the punishment could ed165dd6bd be even harsher. However, if the 950fe40073 intruder kept his 01810b9163 mouth shut, Joo 3186fd8c39 Myunghwan would never 58ea918f03 find out who dea88af538 was behind the 6325106ea8 attack.ad8301f593ea2230

The fact that someone had hired two A-class hunters meant the person held a significant grudge. If Joo Myunghwan couldn’t find out anything, he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.9dab745d380c592d
