"RYU SUNGBIN, were you there when Matthew was killed?"
Ki Gayoon wasn't being sarcastic or anything.
It was a genuine question.
And, yet, the question made Ryu Sungbin flinch.
He's probably feeling guilty.
"No, I wasn't there when that bastard killed Matthew," Ryu Sungbin said, his voice almost a whisper. "Before Jin Sooin and I knew it, he had already possessed Matthew's body."
"And you weren't able to kill him."
"I couldn't," Ryu Sungbin said, clenching his jaw tight. "It's not just because the bastard is more powerful than me at the time, but also because a part of Matthew was still within him at the time."
Ah, right.
A portion of Matthew's soul was sealed within his Core.
And that's how we were able to talk to his 'ghost' before.
"You two should be grateful that I'm allowing you to talk without attacking," Charles Kang, still possessing Matthew's body, said in an arrogant voice. "Consider this as my farewell gift before I turn you into my new mindless vessels."
