The moon shone brightly.
Baek Moo-jin entered the secret hideout of the Undercover Agency, guided by the Red-Faced Man.
Though called a hideout, it was a fairly large iron-walled compound.

The Red-faced Man had effectively informed Baek Moo-jin that they intended to attack him. He shouted loudly enough for everyone staying in the safe house to hear.

Baek Moo-jin observed the complexions and expressions of those gathered in the iron chamber and immediately recognized they were not the original guards stationed there.
Redface glanced around and smiled. All the troops were standing by. As Redface walked across the courtyard paved with blue stone and opened the main hall doors with both hands, he said,
