�What? Really?�

�If outsiders stay here for far too long, the troops get uneasy.�

�You�re as strict as ever.�

Lee Hogwan grumbled, but his expression had softened compared to before. He understood Gu Ja-hwang�s point.

Those who guarded the Prison of No Return were strictly restricted from having contact with the outside world in order to maintain its secrecy. That�s why there is a high chance for those living in such a closed-off environment to become restless when they come into contact with outsiders.

He personally didn�t like it, but he understood.

�Alright! I�ll just take a quick look around and leave. You would at least allow that, right?�

�As long as you�re just looking around.�

As Gu Ja-hwang gave his permission, Lee Hogwan began to explore every nook and cranny of the underground area.

Gu Ja-hwang and Hwang Ak-chu watched Lee Hogwan roam around freely with disgruntled expressions.

�I didn�t expect to see that hound again.�

�At least he�s leaving soon, which is fortunate.�

It was then.

�Hey! Look over here!�

Lee Hogwan suddenly waved at them.

Gu Ja-hwang furrowed his brow and muttered,

�What is he up to now?�

�Shouldn�t we go check anyway?�

�Hmm!�

At Hwang Ak-chu�s words, Gu Ja-hwang started walking.

Even though they had different personalities and would growl at each other whenever they met, Gu Ja-hwang knew that Lee Hogwan was not someone who would act without a reason.�

Although he was reluctant, he went to where Lee Hogwan was.

It was the same place where Hong Yushin was being held.

Lee Hogwan stood in front of a large iron gate.

�Why did you call me here?�

�There is something weird about this place, or has it always been like this?�

�What do you mean?�

�This lock. It shows signs of being forced open.�

�What?�

At that moment, Gu Ja-hwang felt the blood in his body turn cold. JrNovels.com
