Chapter 96: Moving (3)
Bukgung Baek’s accusation made his head spin instantly.
And soon after, he realized.
‘I’m trapped.’
There was no way out.

‘I’m done for.’
I should have just kicked him out, knowing this would happen…
But regardless of my feelings, Baek Gung-baek strode purposefully toward the warehouse.
With each step he took, cold sweat welled up from the pores on the top of my head.

Bukgung Baek gave me credit and nodded.

“What?”

I heard from Baekgong Baek about the state of these men.
“So, their internal energy wasn’t sealed; it was absorbed by the Zhenwangqi? That’s why it’s uncontrollable?”
