?Chapter 1653:
In an instant, darkness fell over T’s features. He fixed his gaze on the King, his voice dropping to a threatening rumble. “You know me well enough. If I decide to unleash chaos, even Yata won’t be spared.” Though merely a simple statement, the words sent an involuntary shudder through the King’s body. Ice crept through his veins, a chill rising from the depths of his heart.
The King understood with perfect rity—if T could utter such words, he possessed both the will and the means to follow through. This man was brutality personified, operating beyond the constraints of morality and humanpassion.
Such a person lurked in darkness like a venomous serpent, patient and watchful, coveting the lives of others, eager to drag them into an abyss of suffering. He condemned his enemies to torment without end. This kind of person… When wielded properly, he was a precision de. But mishandled, he became a deadly knife turned against one’s own heart.
Despite being the supreme king, he found himself yielding before T, swallowing his pride despite the bitter taste it left.
Drawing a deep breath, the King met T’s gaze. “It’s toote to assign me for past transgressions. You understand the woman’s importance. If someone manages to cure her, then…”
The King left the sentence unfinished, but T grasped his meaning perfectly. No matter his displeasure with the King’s demeanor, he couldn’t deny the truth in those words.
Without hesitation, he set down his cup with a sharp clink, rose to his feet, and addressed the King. “Very well, I’ll investigate this matter. But understand this—if I locate that woman, I’ll eliminate her without hesitation. Unlike you, mercy isn’t in my nature.”
T barely spared the King another nce as he strode toward the exit. Only at the threshold did he pause, his voice cutting through the silence. “Foolishpassion is merely an invitation to your own destruction.” With that final barb, he departed.
The King watched T’s retreating form in weighted silence. Though he recognized the necessity of T’s approach and understood what had to be done, the thought of that woman’s impending death still stirred a profound mncholy within him.

But this moment of weakness was fleeting. The King quickly steeled himself and turned his attention to the next urgent matters.
“Issue the order immediately. Begin searching all psychiatric hospitals and nursing homes. We must locate that woman!”
Whether this approach would prove fruitful remained uncertain, but it would at least narrow the possible locations where she might be hiding.
This strategy would buy precious time for T to track down that woman. As T had so coldly stated, her death was an absolute necessity. Matters of the heart withered to insignificance when weighed against the risk of exposing truths.
The King refused to let a single woman—regardless of who she had been to him—be his downfall.
But… The King remained in his chair, his mind meticulously sifting through potential suspects. Everyone connected to that incident had been silenced permanently. So who, he wondered, could possibly know about the deranged woman imprisoned within the pce walls? Her abduction suggested someone had been watching her—targeting her—long before making their move.
