Jeon Wi-gun approached the young man standing behind him and spoke in a low voice.
“I’m going inside to meet someone. If, by any chance, I haven’t come back after one full sijin, I want you to return and figure out a way to bring those men back to their senses.”

“He left them all alive. Doesn’t seem like the kind of person who kills without reason. I doubt he’ll kill me, either. So do as I say. You’re the only rope we have left.”
“...Understood.”
“Thank you. I trust you, son.”
“Yes, Father. Please be careful.”
“I will.”
