Chapter 8 (1/2)
This life is…
Gyeongwan was waiting at the entrance of the prison as Taesan had ordered.
Still, Gyeongwan paid attention to what was happening inside the prison with his senses.
If something happened, he was getting ready to go inside the prison.
In order to do so, he constantly channeled energy to his legs and shoulder.
It was not easy to constantly use the energy, but it was better than having something happen to Taesan.
Also, Taesan had a body where it wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time.
He lacked a heartbeat. He seriously lacked a heartbeat.
Dozens of doctors tried to diagnose Taesan’s heartbeat.
Strangely, all doctors gave different interpretations. However, one common diagnosis was that Taesan lacked a heartbeat.
To sum up, what the doctors interpreted, Taesan was lucky to be alive.
How could others not worry about him?
Actually, Gyeongwan didn’t believe that people lacking heartbeats were geniuses until now.
The evidence was Taesan.
However, that wasn’t it. He was arrogant. Lacking a heartbeat means the person is a genius — a genius who can break solid walls.
As his senses were fully concentrated inside the prison, there was a scream coming out of the prison.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
It was a really tragic scream.
Gyeongwan shivered unconsciously. It wasn’t a normal scream.
It was a real scream coming out from deep inside one’s soul.
“Ahhhhh! Uhhhh! Ohhhhhhh!”
The screams that followed were very intense.
Was someone about to die?
Gyeongwan thought that when he died, he would make such a noise.
As he continued to listen to it, his legs started to shake.
‘What is the Prince…. doing?’
Would simple torture make the guy yell like that? That stubborn guy?
He didn’t moan a single time when Gyeongwan tortured him.
Perhaps, Gyeongwan’s torture wasn’t perfect. Still, it wasn’t light to not moan even once.
What did he do to drag out such a drastic moan coming out the guy?
“Grrrrr!”
The screams continued uninterruptedly.
It was literally constant.
He was worried that the prisoner’s throat would rip.
Time ticked. 15 minutes, 30 minutes…
The screams ended after 45 minutes.
Surprisingly, the screaming continued until then.
When a person screams like that, their voice would crack and they wouldn’t be able to talk.
However, the guy inside the prison screamed for 45 minutes but his voice didn’t crack.
After a while, Taesan came out from inside.
“Are you okay? Mr. Prince?”
Instead of saying “I’m okay,” Taesan looked inside the prison.
“Release him.”
“Sorry?”
Taesan didn’t speak anymore and began walking as if he didn’t want to repeat himself.
Gyeongwan quickly went inside the prison.
The guy was exhausted and lying on the floor.
Gyeongwan woke him up by shaking his body.
“Hey.”
Although he must have been tortured, there were no wounds on the body, not even a single fingermark. In fact, the skin became better.
“Hmm.”
The guy slowly opened his eyes. However, his vision looked somewhat unclear. It felt like looking at a crazy person.
Not only that–
“Huh?”
Gyeongwan stepped back in surprise.
The guy’s skin melted. At least, it appeared that way.
It was fine when Gyeongwan looked in detail.
However, he was certain that something happened. There was a reason why Gyeongwan had such a misunderstanding.
“Grrr!”
The guy made an unknown noise.
Gyeongwan began releasing the acupoints. Still, he was still being cautious.
That’s because the guy who had free acupoints may do crazy things.
However, once the guy was freed, he just moved his body.
It felt like someone who was a bit crazy.
“Hey, are you okay?” Gyeongwan asked the guy, but the guy didn’t reply and stood up.
“Uhhhh.”
The guy began walking while making a sound that a stupid person would make.
Gyeongwan opened every door so the guy could move freely.
The guy left the prison and continued to walk after leaving the Golden Wall residence.
Gyeongwan thought to follow the man for a bit and he did.
That’s because he needed to know where the guy was heading.
It wasn’t far.
The guy was heading to the brothel.
Taesan returned to his room and thought about what happened just now.
First, he felt good because such a filthy spirit meant lots of gains for him.
It felt good when he took out and burnt the filthy spirit because a strong power was absorbed.
It would be great to absorb it immediately, but if he did so in his current status, he would faint so he had to accumulate it inside his body.
Burning the soul meant purifying the soul.
Purified power came after burning the soul which was left inside the body.
Halfway through the process, a problem occurred.
This guy’s livelihood was so filthy that the soul was severely contaminated.
For ladies, the pureness left after removing the unclear soul.
However, he was different.
Such a filthy spirit would be strongly attached to the original spirit that the two would assimilate.
The Magical Spell of increasing Spirit blended all the spirit and absorbed the power.
Of course, if the filthy spirit assimilates with the soul, it would become strong enough to remove the soul.
So, he did so.
He removed part of the soul along with the filthy spirit.
From the beginning, there was no need to feel pity for someone who lived such a life.
The problem was the pure soul that came along with it.
Taesan threw the soul away.
After purifying and burning with the Magical Spell, he let the pure soul fly away.
Taesan had already experienced this in his past life. He knew how purifying the soul could create side effects.
Also, accepting such power in a weak body would make the body burst after a few minutes.
Taesan raised his hands and looked inside while opening and closing his fist.
“Dangerous.”
Although it had been purified, the soul was mixed.
Actually, it would be wrong to even say mixed.
Just a small trait existed.
However, even accepting such strength became violent.
If such things are repeated, side effects will accumulate and the body will explode.
Taesan turned his head.
There was only one solution: continue to purify and purify again before accepting the stored energy inside the body.
