His eyes.

The occasional flicker of red in his jet-black pupils was a characteristic only Pyo-wol possessed.

So Gyeoksan remembered his gaze.�

That�s why he recognized Pyo-wol immediately.

It didn�t matter to him why Pyo-wol had to hide his face and disguise himself as someone else.� The only thing that mattered was that Pyo-wol had managed to slip into this place like a venomous snake and that a ray of hope was now shining on him, despite him having previously lost all hope.

But So Gyeoksan did not act carelessly. He pretended not to notice Pyo-wol�s presence.

He merely looked at him with chilling eyes.

There was a lot of meaning in his gaze.

Pyo-wol didn�t avoid So Gyeoksan�s gaze. He didn�t take any rash actions either. He just stared.

�Hehe!�

So Gyeoksan suddenly let out a sinister laugh, picked up a bowl that had fallen to the ground, and began to scrape and eat the gruel with his bare hands.

The sight terrified Hwang Ak-chu and his men.

Until now, they had simply seen So Gyeoksan as a madman, but now it felt like a sword was being held to their throats.

�Damn it!�

Hwang Ak-chu shuddered as he hastily closed the window.

He hurriedly served food in the other cells as well.

There were many cells, but only three, including the one where So Gyeoksan was locked up, actually had people in them. Yet, none of them still held Hong Yushin.

He was probably held captive in another area.

�Let�s get out of here.�

As soon as the meal distribution was over, Hwang Ak-chu led his men out in a hurry.

Pyo-wol also naturally followed them out.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Pyo-wol effortlessly blended in with the others.

Hwang Ak-chu muttered,

�By the way, weren�t there eight of us who went in?�

�Huh? Wasn�t it just seven?�

�No! There were definitely eight of us.�

�Well, there are only seven of us now.�

�Hmm!�

Hwang Ak-chu furrowed his brow.

He was certain that there were eight of them who had gone in when he last counted. But there were only seven of them right now.� JrNovels.com
