Chapter 152
Dohyuk let out a long breath as he put down a big bag on the ground . It was not within the expected expenses to purchase 'these', but he did not and will not regret buying them . He did pay a hefty amount of coins, but he believed it was worth the money and would be the most efficient use of the money .
It even brought him to smile just by thinking of it .
"I haven't…"
'Taken a shower and had a good sleep in bed,' thought Dohyuk as he was beginning to prepare warm water when someone knocked on the door .
"It's open . Come in . "
Dohyuk was surprised as the knock seemed to be rushed . Just listening to the knock was enough to feel as if the person was in a hurry . That alone was no problem, but…
"…W-what is it?"
It was different if the person was Lee Yuri . Dohyuk even stuttered as he asked because of the surprise .
"Did something jump out of the sea? Or…"
"It's not about the outside . "
"Oh . "
Dohyuk sighed in relief, but Yuri had to do best she could to bring up what she was going to say .
"A person is dead . "
Dohyuk became silent and did not respond for a while . He then nodded, signaling her to continue .
"You'll know him once you see his face . He's not good enough to join my class, but he was well-trained . "
"Who… what happened to him?"
Lee Yuri shook her head .
"The person I'm talking about is not the one who died . "
The story was this: when he was a slave, he met a woman . They were not in a relationship then . The woman had no power or strength, but she helped everyone around her as best as she could and shared her food to the children or seniors . Soon, she was like the leader among her small group of slaves . They withstood everything together and was later was saved by Dohyuk and began their life in the city .
And then-
"She found another man . "
"…"

"But I guess he had been longing for her for a long time . She refused politely, but now… I guess he became mad . "
Fortunately, the fight was stopped by Yoo Giwon who had been around at the time . He listened to their stories and sentenced a month-long job for the man and warned him to stay away from the woman . It wasn't Giwon's fault that this happened . Everyone thought the judgment was just .
"…Yeah . I think I remember hearing it from Giwon . "
There was no way anyone would've known that the man who had been training and working hard until then was a criminal with a sexual assault record and was on mental medications .
"The woman's lover was at the farm, working . "
The man smashed the lover's head with a farm tool, again and again until the lover was no longer breathing . And even after that, he continued smashing the head .
"What of the woman? Is she…"
"She's safe . "
Citizens weren't cowards . After a few seconds of what happened, people quickly came up to him and apprehended him .
"…"

Yuri couldn't say anything to Dohyuk who had fallen silent .
'You know what? That bastard, that f*cking assh*le, kept on calling her name even then . I wanted to kill him right on the spot when I saw him tied down . I wanted to rip his limbs out so that he could feel the pain as much as possible . '
That was what Yuri wanted to say . If Giwon wasn't there before her, she probably would've really killed the murder like she thought .
She couldn't believe what had happened . The man shouldn't have done this . If he thought about the hero, the master of the city, who had sacrificed so much for everyone else, he should not have done such a terrible thing .
But it still happened . It was the first death of a citizen, but it was not from an outer threat and was rather a petty inner conflict . Yuri didn't even want to think about how this would hurt Dohyuk .
"…Okay . "
As Dohyuk broke out of his long silence, Yuri flinched .
"So, when did it happen exactly?"
"20 minutes… ago . "
"And what happened? What of the body? What about the murderer? Tell me everything that happened during those 20 minutes until you came to me . "

As he listened to the details, Yuri wasn't sure what Dohyuk was thinking .
"…So, that bastard is still outside the city wall . He's being imprisoned in one of the tents temporarily . "
"Who made that decision?"
"Me and Giwon . That man… he's no longer a citizen from the point he killed someone . "
It was apparent of what she meant . Corruption .
"Oh and…"
She brought out a bag . There was a metal clanking sound coming from within .
"This . The woman brought it over . She dropped this in front of her all of a sudden . It was the exact moment when the murder happened and the murderer became corrupt . "
Dohyuk received the bag and opened it up to check inside . He expected what was inside even before he opened it up, and he was right .
