Chapter 226
"It's fine," Uijae thought. With his face covered and the distance between them, no one would be able to recognize him. He placed his hand on the barred door and responded, "I was checking on the new guy's cell. The gas has already filled the room, and it might be dangerous if you get too close."
"Oh? Right. There was that guy... How is he?"
"He seems to have passed out, but he should wake up soon. No need to worry."
"Alright. Hurry up and finish your check and get back to your post. The big guy is coming soon."
"The big guy?" Uijae wondered. Just then, he felt a tickle on his calf. Minggijeok had reached out from the shadows and was writing something on Uijae's leg: "Be bold." It seemed Minggijeok wanted him to ask directly.
"Who’s coming?" Uijae asked abruptly.
"Who else?" the man scratched his head as he replied, "Did the gas make you forget? Didn't I tell you the old tiger is coming soon?"
"Old tiger?"
"Yeah, the *hyungnim* said to get everything ready like always. Now hurry up and get back to work."
"Oh, right. I remember. I'll take care of it."
"Keep your head straight, alright? Seems like none of you have any discipline these days..." The man's grumbling footsteps grew quieter as he walked away.
Once the man was out of earshot, Uijae turned to the shadows and asked, "Do you know who this old tiger is?"
