Especially when this kind of harsh environment was their preferred battlefield.

Once a person enters such a harsh environment, they are bound to feel uncomfortable. Lee Hogwan and the others would then use the particular discomfort others feel to their advantage.

The greater the discomfort the others feel, the more it dulled their senses and distracted them. It is a weakening of the defense mechanism that every human has.

Lee Hogwan and his men knew this human psychology better than anyone, and they loved to prey on such moments.

As Lee Hogwan advanced forward, he thought,

�Who on earth managed to sneak into this place? And how did they find it?�

The Prison of No Return was a kind of private prison.

Not many in the Jianghu knew about its existence and for those who did, they kept the secret of the Prison of No Return thoroughly.�

They had no choice but to do so because the Prison of No Return was a kind of shameful existence.

The identities of those imprisoned in the Prison of No Return were anything but ordinary.

Most of them were people who had been pushed out of the power struggles of sects and families.

They were too awkward to kill directly, but if left alone, they would, without a doubt, become seeds of trouble in the future.

Powerful people found them inconvenient to deal with.

So, the Prison of No Return approached these powerful people, persuading them by saying,�

�We will take care of the troublesome work for you. If you send them to our prison, we won�t release them into the world until they die. But we won�t kill them either.�

At first, the Prison of No Return found it quite hard to get clients.

This was because the powerful people suspected that the Prison of No Return might be a trap set by their competitors. But the Prison of No Return didn�t rush and gradually made themselves known, eventually earning their trust.

When they first started the Prison of No Return, they doubted how many people would use it, but these concerns faded over time.

There were quite a few people in the world who wanted to quietly erase their brothers, sisters, or sworn enemies from the world, and they were more than willing to pay large sums of money to use the services offered by the Prison of No Return.

Exposing the existence of the Prison of No Return to the outside world would also expose the pretensions of those in power, which is why the Prison of No Return paid special attention to maintaining secrecy.

There was no chance of any secrets leaking from this place.

Gu Ja-hwang and his subordinates hardly ventured outside unless it was absolutely necessary, and they kept their contact with outsiders to a minimum.

It would also be unlikely for the powerful individuals who utilize the services of the Prison of No Return to divulge the secrets themselves, as doing so would essentially be equivalent to exposing their own weaknesses.�

�In any case, once we capture the guy who broke in, everyone will know how he found this place and infiltrate it.�

It was then.

�Ah!�

Suddenly, the cry of one of his subordinates echoed within the cave.

Only then did Lee Hogwan wake from his trance and looked forward.

A man was standing in front of the faint torchlight.

At a quick glance, it was clear that the man had a hunched back. JrNovels.com
