Chapter 23: First Watch, Part 3
Seongwan-gu District, as evening approached.
Three figures stood atop a high-rise building. Two of them were already familiar.
A silver-haired young man sat on the edge of the roof, gazing down at one of the Nightwatch outposts. He wore a black Nightwatch uniform—one he'd taken during the last assault.
Beside him stood the Crimson Reaper, his arm fully regenerated after the previous battle with Reina.
"We still haven't found that Lee Ki-hyun," the red-haired one muttered. "At this rate, we'll never catch him unless we hurry."
"You're all getting way too obsessed with him. What do you even need him for?" Seojun replied casually.
"You say that, but didn't you fight him yourself? Don't you want revenge?"
"Nope. I wasn't beaten by him—I lost to the King of Humans. But I doubt he's involved in their operations. If he were, their moves would be far more decisive."
The Crimson Reaper shot him a disapproving glare. The other added with a smirk:
"You've been different lately. Ever since you lost your arm, you've been dying to face that girl again. Did she crush your ego that badly?"
"Shut it, punk."
