"…Fucking hell…."

By the time Yusa returned to the prison, the one he had been searching for was nowhere to be seen.

His expression was utterly ruined, twisted in rage.

His breathing was ragged, disturbed by his emotions.

The carefree pretense he had worn before was gone—

What stood before them now was a beast.

'…Damn, look at that presence.'

He wasn’t even bothering to hide it anymore.

The bloodlust rolling off him was suffocating.

Gu Yangcheon had already sensed it before, but now—under the full darkness of night, with the moon at its peak—

Yusa felt different.

Like something inside that small body was about to explode.

Huuuuuuu—@@novelbin@@

As Yusa struggled to steady his breathing, Gu Yangcheon feigned caution and asked,

"Uh… General, is something wrong?"

Yusa’s sharp gaze snapped toward him.

"You. Have you been here the whole time?"

"…Huh? Oh, yes… I’ve been locked up, so where else would I go?"

"Really?"

Yusa’s eyes shifted—

To the woman sitting beside him.

"Hey."

"…?"

Cheonma lifted her head at Yusa’s call.

Their gazes met as Yusa asked,

"Has he really been here the whole time?"

"…"

Gu Yangcheon turned to Cheonma.

Holding his breath.

'I forgot about this.'

For some reason, Yusa’s authority didn’t seem to work on him.

But that didn’t mean it wouldn’t work on Cheonma.

If she answered truthfully—

"…"

Cheonma, to his surprise, shook her head.

Yusa’s brow furrowed deeper.

"…Are you saying it really wasn’t him?"

At that moment, Gu Yangcheon knew.
