"Heyyyy," Master Sung called out with a welcoming smile. "Violence isn't necessary.
I am here to save you."
Dwang Sung inched forward, closing the distance between him and the trio and said, "I have a proposal."
Leo was startled as he heard what came out of Dwang Sung's mouth.
Leo's silver-blue eyes widened slightly. Of all the things he had expected Dwang Sung to say, this wasn't one of them.
"A proposal?" Leo repeated.
"That's right." Dwang Sung spoke with a smile that faded soon after, replaced by a look of absolute seriousness. He glanced around at the gathering crowd of villagers, their faces filled with confusion. "Perhaps we should discuss this somewhere more... private?"
"Whatever you have to say, you can say it right here," Ryder spoke up, stepping forward to stand beside Leo. He cleaned the last bit of tear with his sleeves and locked gaze with Dwang Sung.
