Chapter 455
Click. A slow, heavy sound of a gun’s safety being released.
Though blinded in one eye, Police Chief Jang Seongsik forced strength into his trembling legs and staggered upright—only to flinch when he saw the figure ahead. Fumbling over the floor to find the source of the noise, he turned his head.
From behind the screen, Jung Dajun drew in a sharp breath.
【Kang Giyeong... Giyeong, is that you?】
Through the open door slit, the sea shimmered in the distance. Covered in blood, Seo Hoyun stood there beneath a dark shadow, staring silently at Jang Seongsik.
It was undoubtedly the same face Dajun knew—Seo Hoyun’s—but the man holding the gun in one hand, standing so still and heavy, was Kang Giyeong himself. Dajun’s spine prickled with goosebumps.
【Yes, sir.】
The low voice sent a shudder through Jang Seongsik, and he stumbled backward.
Feeling something soft and wet underfoot, he looked down and went pale—it was a corpse.
He understood instantly: the Kang Giyeong he had known since boyhood had been blinded by vengeance and had crossed the line of no return.
To avenge the enemy who had driven his family to death.
【...Since when?】
