Why does it have to be him…?0

Se-Hoon frowned.0

Like Puppeteer, Tuner never hesitated to use living beings even as mere test subjects, ranking him high among the most-wanted Ten Evils list. He had racked up a notorious record, having collaborated with Watchers to create the Destroyer of Swords.0

And because of that, Tuner was one of Se-Hoon's most feared demons.0

Whenever he showed up, it always meant disaster.0

Unlike Puppeteer, who simply acted without fear of failure, Tuner only ever appeared if he was basically certain of his success—making the fact that he had revealed himself first a clear sign the situation was already heading south.0

And seeing how Wurgen isn’t here…0

Se-Hoon’s mind raced as he tried to assess the situation. Meanwhile, Tuner, who had been observing him, began showing a flicker of interest.0

“You’re calmly assessing the situation instead of panicking… that’s something only the seasoned ones do.”0

Stroking the chin of his mask, Tuner appeared to be pondering something. Then, when his hand stopped, he seriously asked, “Did you undergo brain surgery?”0

Looks like getting Wurgen’s help is out of the question.0

Given how at ease Tuner seemed, it was obvious he had somehow neutralized Wurgen. 0

“What you’re thinking is right. He won’t be back for at least an hour… maybe thirty minutes if he’s lucky,” Tuner suddenly said with a faint smile, having guessed what Se-Hoon was thinking.0

“…What did you do to him?”0

Se-Hoon tried his best to remain calm. Right now, what he needed the most was information he could utilize. 0

“It’s nothing impressive.”0

Creak-0

Seemingly in a cooperative mood, Tuner did something and something underneath his robe began creaking. Moments later, an arm—a grotesque creation of various body parts stitched together—emerged...0
