Please, at least for my sake… help my son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, Jeonggu, with trembling hands, reached for his pants, but the massive shadow of the Orc lord, Bantubangtong, loomed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grab!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bantubangtong seized Jeonggu’s hand as it reached for his waistband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Jeonggu!

I swear on my mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jeonggu, held by the two giants, murmured to Bantubangtong in a voice as if crawling out of a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Bang… thank, thank you….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jeonggu was practically as good as naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Orcs filled the area, staring at him with sympathy in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bantubangtong let go of Jeonggu, and then began to remove the large iron armor draped over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—But I’m the only one here who promised you a shadow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would undress and join the battle, but he refused to drag his brethren into such an absurd affair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for Yeongwoo, it was enough that Master Bang alone was stripping down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.
