|LEON TAKUIRA|

After killing all of them, Kim Dokja was being wary of me as I haven't undone my transformation.

"So, like your new flag?" I asked him, Dokja seemed to have noticed the flag on my back.

"How do you...?" Dokja said with a surprised expression when he saw the black flag

"You don't have to know, Dokja." I smiled as Sangah and Hyeonseong had already caught up, they had one person with them but he was all tied up. Well, at least Dokja has a red flag now...he should have gained the buffs of the flag.

"Well...at least you'll be able to gain some information." I said as Dokja looked over at the tied up man as I checked his status window, Ilhun Kang...?

|KIM DOKJA|

"W-What will you do with me?" Ilhun asked nervously as it seemed Leon's presence had taken an effect on him. I was still very worried about whether Leon was still on my side or not, but I was just glad he wasn't attacking us.

"That depends on how useful you'll be." Leon mentioned to him as I sighed, Ilhun nodded cooperatively as he was terrified of Leon in his current monster-like state. Well at least this will be easier without having to get violent myself...

"...At Dongmyo, the people there told us about Chungmuro! They call themselves the prophets..." Ilhun explained as he seemed to have suddenly start choking

"Sangah, use your thread to shut his mouth!" I ordered, Ilhun had passed out as Leon watched with an amused expression.

-Leon...

|LEON TAKUIRA|

I left Dokja to his own devices as I found Joonghyuk conquering stations as I dropped by

"Joonghyuk Yoo." I called out his name as he turned around, Jihye stood beside him as they seemed confused as I dropped down from the ceiling.

"How have you both been?" I asked as they looked surprised

"Leon...?" Jihye muttered as I nodded, Joonghyuk looked as if he was ready to kill. When he knew it was me, he put his sword back on his waist.

(JOONGHYUK YOO)-Leon...I wonder if he'll come along with me...

"I'll accompany you guys for now as I've already talked with Dokja. Oh, and did you know..."

|KIM DOKJA|

"Dokja. Are you sure we don't need to bring more people?" Hyeonseong asked worriedly as Sangah walked beside us as we headed for our destination

"We're going to decide what to do with them, not fight them." I reminded Hyeonseong as he nodded, we walked in silence for a while as I gathered my thoughts.

-The people who have become drifters...will soon fall prey to other groups. Just like the people who left Chungmuro station...

I glanced over at Sangah who looked a bit nervous about this

"Are you sad? That we did not get to make them our allies?" I asked as she nodded

"...A little." Sangah sighed

"You shouldn't trust people too easily." I advised her as I continued saying "Things won't be as easy as you want it to be in the future." I told her as she smiled

"I know. But...you know, Dokja?" Sangah said as she looked me in the eyes as I realized

"That's how I was even able to make it this far." Sangah said with a nervous smile, I thought about it as my mouth was left agape until-

"Dokja!" Hyeonseong called my name as I turned back to see what was in front of me as I saw three people inside the station as they noticed us and hopped onto their motorcycles and drove off

"Who are those people? What happened?" Hyeonseong said with a worried look on his face

"I don't know." I said as I had a vague feeling

"I can't believe this..." Hyeonseong muttered as I analyzed the situation

-They ran off as if they knew I was coming...

|LEON TAKUIRA|

I guess Joonghyuk was also on the king's path, well it wasn't surprising. I had six stations currently and just needed four more, I didn't want to disrupt Dokja either. My sanity was at 57% now as Jihye walked beside Joonghyuk without saying a word. I watched Joonghyuk as he conquered stations quite easily. I guess he didn't really have to worry about his station being taken over, huh? Since he's the protagonist...
