Bab 245: Demons of Hell-Conclusion

Hongshik turned around to find a woman in her fifties. She had smooth greyish brown hair with fine cheekbones and beady eyes which were observing him. Her clothes were designer made, indicating her noble status. Tall and proud, she felt a little disdain for the shabby man in front of her.

He did not dare to meet her eyes. She had warned him not to go ahead with the ritual to help Sungki but he did anyway. Now she was going to gloat.

"The ritual-"

"Failed," she finished for him. "Obviously. I can tell by your expression."

Hongshik looked as if someone had slapped him but he kept his cool. All was not lost.

"But it was now a complete bust," he stated. "I have news. The half demon Prince is back."

The woman raised her eyebrow. The half demon Prince reincarnated? Now she was highly interested.

"Tell me more," she demanded. "What else do you know?"

"It's not just him," Hongshik revealed. "His wife is also back. Chun Ailee."
