Chapter 157

“Chairman. The Chief of Intelligence Operations for the Punitive Expeditionary Force wishes to see you…”
Song Jeong-eun opened Jeong In-gon’s door slightly and asked.
Jeong In-gon, his face set in a stubborn expression, glanced at Song Jeong-eun’s awkward look and gave a slight nod.

Kim Hwan-soo, dressed in a punitive force uniform, entered the room with a brisk step.

“It must be about that long.”
“Time sure flies… Just wait a moment.”
“Yes. The coffee hasn’t arrived yet, so take your time.”
Kim Hwan-soo settled comfortably into the sofa.
His posture felt incredibly familiar, even relaxed.
‘The little bastard. Still as fearless as ever.’
Jeong In-gon glanced at Kim Hwan-soo while signing the documents.

‘How much has he gotten away with to make his face glow like that….’
Jeong In-gon recalled the lean, sharp Kim Hwan-soo of old.
Kim Hwan-soo, with his skinny frame, radiating pure venom.
Like a wild dog starved for days, hunting its prey, he was filled with malice. Now, he’d gained a bit of weight and even learned how to smile.
Yet even with the passage of time, his piercing gaze remained unchanged.
