�The head of the Hao clan requested it.�

�Requested? To find me?�

�That�s right!�

�Hah!�

Hong Yushin finally slumped down on the ground.

He didn�t say a word for a while.

Pyo-wol quietly observed Hong Yushin in silence.�

Hong Yushin stared blankly at the iron gate with a myriad of emotions crossing his face and eyes.�

The events that had happened the past few days flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Tracking the Heavenly Flower Variety Theater Troupe and So Gyeoksan to this vicinity, only to be ambushed and captured by the warriors guarding this place.

He didn�t have a chance to resist.

They were incredibly cunning.

Like a tiger snatching its prey in an instant, they ambushed and subdued him. And then they imprisoned him here and tried to entice him.

�Entice?�

�They thought that I might be worth using. Since I am the chief inspector of the Hao clan, I could easily access key information.�

�From the looks of those imprisoned elsewhere, it looks like they�re trying to brainwash them with prohibited drugs.�

�They just want to use them as tools, because tools don�t have to think.�

Pyo-wol nodded.

What Hong Yushin said made sense.

So Gyeoksan was a skilled assassin.

Even if he had no reason left in him, he was still valuable as a tool. But Hong Yushin was different.

If someone with access to key information were to be brainwashed with drugs, it would surely raise suspicions. So it was clear they had imprisoned him separately to get him to cooperate voluntarily.

Pyo-wol asked,�

�Can you move?�

�It�s difficult, but I can move.�

Hong Yushin replied through clenched teeth.

Even if he couldn�t move, he had to.

Even while eating the gruel given to him once a day, he continued to train his body. He knew that if his body weakened, his mental strength would weaken even more.

That�s how he managed to resist them so far.�

Hong Yushin struggled to his feet. JrNovels.com
