Hand him over and go your way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman who had identified themselves as the Women’s Alliance pointed at the middle-aged man as if stabbing him, indicating they would proceed with the execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this conversation, Byungcheol, who had been quietly listening, made a surprised sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you t-talking about now?
