"Empty words? Hahaha," Mer Jiao burst into laughter again, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of mockery and defiance as he looked at Jihoon and Joon Su.

"Don't you brothers think that you guys are too smart?" he said in a mocking tone, a smile playing on his lips.

Hearing his words, even Joon Su, who had been silently standing in the background, frowned. The tension in the cave intensified, the weight of the situation pressing down on everyone present.

Despite the knife pressing close to his neck, Mer Jiao continued in a cold, deliberate voice, his eyes never leaving Jihoon's. "You guys know who sent me, right? But do you even know why?"

Jihoon's grip on the knife tightened, his eyes narrowing as he processed Mer Jiao's words. The mocking tone of the mer's voice, combined with the underlying truth of his question, gnawed at him. Joon Su stepped closer, his face a mask of controlled anger and curiosity.
