CHAPTER 228: Into the Black thorn forest

As Seojun and the two men arrived near the edge of a dense forest, a group of 8 people was waiting for them. One of them, a man with a scar on his cheek, waved lazily.

"Yo, boss! What took you so long?" he called out with a grin.

The group chuckled among themselves, casually joking around, but there was an air of arrogance in their behavior.

One of the party members, a tall man with messy blond hair, glanced at Seojun and smirked. "Is this the other one?" he asked, his voice laced with mockery.

Another man, leaning on a tree with his arms crossed, snorted. "You gotta be kidding me. He's just a kid."

"What is he, fifteen?" a woman with a bow on her back scoffed. "This one looks like he should be in school, not here."

The group burst into laughter, some shaking their heads in amusement.
