Chapter 108

Outside the Combat Arena, beneath the outer wall.
Kim Do-gyeong crouched in the darkness alongside Lee Yu-wol.
He swallowed dry saliva repeatedly, his eyes darting between his wristwatch and the Main Gate.
“He did make it inside, didn’t he……?”
He muttered the words, his insides churning with anxiety.
The Checkpoint beside the Main Gate—its entire front constructed of one-way mirror glass.
From inside, the world outside was perfectly visible; from out here, the interior remained utterly dark.
Worse still, someone had laid a soundproof Barrier along the perimeter, which meant no noise leaked out whatsoever.
Save for the occasional hum of a vehicle passing through the Main Gate, only a heavy silence settled between them.
Which made Kim Do-gyeong’s anxious muttering ring all the louder.
Lee Yu-wol, standing motionless with arms crossed, exhaled with visible displeasure.
“What do you take my teacher to be?”
His words carried an almost blind faith in Yeom Sa-hyeon.
His only real complaint was that he couldn’t witness his teacher’s exploits firsthand.
“……Tch.”
Kim Do-gyeong shook his head at that grating attitude.
‘Odd lot, the both of them.’
Who in their right mind would worry about a monster like that?
It wasn’t Yeom Sa-hyeon he was concerned about.
‘It’s that Membership Card—if he raises hell in there with it, I’m finished…….’
He’d paid double the market price just to wrench the thing loose!
There was no way not to worry about the Membership Card.
But Lee Yu-wol, indifferent to Kim Do-gyeong’s increasingly burnt-out nerves, simply waited for Yeom Sa-hyeon in patient silence.
Kim Do-gyeong finally heaved a deep sigh, his shoulders sagging.
‘Then again, if it were quiet out here, nothing must be wrong.’
Acceptance brought a strange peace of mind.
He stopped watching the Main Gate and deliberately shut his mind off.
‘……Damn, this is uncomfortable.’
The situation was deeply unsettling to him.
First and foremost, being alone with Lee Yu-wol—who harbored an almost zealous devotion toward the Interrogator—felt suffocating.
‘How did I end up tangled with my old boss, running around like this in the dead of night……?’
Standing there and waiting felt almost unjust.
In his days running his own business, raking in money hand over fist, he’d never personally gotten his hands this dirty.
It had been a world where money did the work—you paid enough, and things took care of themselves.
But the Interrogator had crushed that comfortable world beneath his boot.
Thanks to him, Kim Do-gyeong was now sampling every variety of hardship he’d managed to avoid in life.
He clicked his tongue, his expression darkening.
‘Everyone tangled up with the Interrogator is someone you wouldn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole……’
Lee Yu-wol, who lit up like a man possessed whenever the Interrogator’s name came up, was one example. The schizoid employee at the auction house was another.
Not a single normal human being in the entire circle.
Kim Do-gyeong leaned his back against the cold wall.
‘After all this suffering, they better give me real consideration when the time comes, at least.’
He was releasing a long, skeptical sigh when it happened.
Wiiing—
A subtle vibration thrummed through the wall at his back.
“……? What was that?”
Kim Do-gyeong jolted upright, pulling away from the wall.
‘Did only I feel that?’
He turned his head in confusion.
Lee Yu-wol’s eyes had narrowed, his gaze fixed on the building beyond the wall.
He was sensing something.
The fact that both of them detected the disturbance simultaneously, out of nowhere, was far from ordinary.
And that instinct would soon prove itself prescient.

CRASH—!!!!

“Aaarghhh?!”
A deafening boom tore through the air, and the wall shuddered as though it might crumble.
Kim Do-gyeong, who had instinctively clamped his hands over his head, slowly lowered his arms.
“…….”
Then he stared, speechless, at the scene before him.
Fwooosh—
The massive barrier that had enveloped the far side of the wall was disintegrating into powder.
“H-huh……”
Kim Do-gyeong’s jaw fell open in shock.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
‘The barrier… shattered?!’
In that moment, a face flashed across Kim Do-gyeong’s mind—a man whose hair had gone completely white.
At this timing, with such crude, overwhelming force, only one person could have torn through that barrier.
Just then, Lee Yu-wol landed lightly atop the wall.
“Master! This way!”
And moments later, another figure bounded up beside her with equal grace.
Yeom Sa-hyeon, just as he’d anticipated.
His face was so serene it was hard to believe he’d just obliterated a barrier.
‘So we’re busted. Well, there’s no way he would’ve slipped out quietly.’
Kim Do-gyeong pressed his forehead.
‘……But what the hell is he carrying?’
Yet the fact that he’d hauled something out with him was something Kim Do-gyeong had never anticipated.
Draped across Yeom Sa-hyeon’s left shoulder was something bulky, slung like a sack of rice.
Yeom Sa-hyeon landed lightly beside Kim Do-gyeong, following Lee Yu-wol.
The moment Kim Do-gyeong made out what that bundle was, he nearly lost consciousness.
“……A person?!”
His cry had barely escaped his lips when—
“Freeze!!”
“Security team! Main Gate sector!!”
“Get the abductors!!”
At the shouts of pursuers echoing from beyond the wall, Kim Do-gyeong’s mind reeled.
“!?”
He’d thought they were just infiltrating for a quiet investigation—and now this was kidnapping?
While Kim Do-gyeong stood bewildered by this inexplicable turn of events—
“Lee Yu-wol.”
Yeom Sa-hyeon pushed off the ground and sprinted, issuing an order.
“Buy us some time.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lee Yu-wol followed close behind, bowing without hesitation.
Her Summoned Creature materialized at once.
Sloth dangled from Lee Yu-wol’s shoulder.
A chirp?
His long slump seemed to have ended—the creature’s eyes now gleamed with vitality.
Lee Yu-wol matched Yeom Sa-hyeon’s pace while running, positioning Sloth on her open palm.
“There! I see them!”
“There’s a group—three of them!!”
Dozens of guards came thundering after them from behind.
“Sloth.”
As Lee Yu-wol angled Sloth so he could see the pursuers, he narrowed his eyes and let out a short cry.
Eeep—!
At that, the movements of countless people began to slow simultaneously.
The crowd that had been surging forward seemed suspended in air, their motions drawn out like taffy.
“……Quite the spectacle.”
Even as he ran, Kim Do-gyeong offered a brief murmur of appreciation.
‘S-Rank really is something else.’
It was certainly a sight you wouldn’t see every day.
But there was no time to relax.
As they rounded a corner, the pursuers escaped the skill’s effective range and surged forward again with terrifying momentum.
“Kim Do-gyeong, you drove here, didn’t you.”
Yeom Sa-hyeon asked.
Even while being chased by dozens of men, he moved with the ease of someone out for an evening jog.
“Y-yes! We parked nearby, just down this alley!”
Kim Do-gyeong picked up his pace, taking the lead.
While running hard, his gaze kept drifting sideways toward Yeom Sa-hyeon’s shoulder.
An unconscious man with pink hair hanging limply across it.
“Sir, but… who exactly is the person you’re carrying on your shoulder…? …?!”
The moment he asked cautiously.
The stranger’s face came clearly into view.
‘Blood?!’
Kim Do-gyeong’s pupils dilated sharply.
The unconscious man’s face was already drenched in blood.
The black clothes he wore were surely soaked through with it as well.
‘Did the instructor beat him like this?!’
Even at the Prison, he rarely laid hands on anyone directly — it was almost unheard of!
‘Just how vicious must this guy be for him to reduce him to such a wreck…!’
Kim Do-gyeong’s misunderstanding deepened in that instant.
“……Ugh.”
Beginning with a small groan, the man coughed painfully.
His eyelids slowly lifted.
The man narrowed his eyes as if assessing the situation, then raised his head.
Upon noticing himself slung across the other’s shoulder, he began to thrash violently.
“…Put me down, I can walk on my own!”
“Which way from here.”
But Yeom Sa-hyeon ignored him and asked Kim Do-gyeong instead.
Kim Do-gyeong, who had been distracted, hastily looked ahead.
“…Ah, yes! Just turn right and we’ll be there!”
Meanwhile, the man twisted his body, trying desperately to slip free from Yeom Sa-hyeon’s grip.
But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t budge against that strength.
“I said put me down!”
And at the man’s final cry, Kim Do-gyeong nearly stumbled to a halt without meaning to.
“-Brother!”
At the unexpected address, both men besides Yeom Sa-hyeon flinched simultaneously.
Kim Do-gyeong’s shock in particular ran deep.
‘Did he just call the instructor his brother?!’
He’d never heard that the Interrogator had a younger sibling.
In fact, he knew virtually nothing about his background to begin with.
Yet Yeom Sa-hyeon’s response remained unfazed.
“Quite the squirmer, aren’t you.”
Thwack!
Yeom Sa-hyeon’s hand strike landed mercilessly against the man’s neck.
“!”
The man’s frantic thrashing ceased instantly.
Thud.
His body went limp again across Yeom Sa-hyeon’s shoulder.
“?!”
Kim Do-gyeong’s jaw dropped once more.
‘He knocked him out again?!’
