The investigators placed the handcuffed suspect into a transportation carriage. The carriage was cramped and fitted with iron bars, and it was designed to transport criminals from one place to another.

Kang Yoon-Soo sat in one corner of the carriage with his head lowered, thinking, ‘Things will be off schedule now.’

He had originally planned to immediately head to Sanguinium and fight the vampires, but he had ended up being arrested due to the sudden appearance of the investigators. The only one who would be capable of mobilizing so many investigators at once was a 1st Grade investigator.

‘I was sloppy.’

He was certain that the one who had orchestrated his capture was Sheryl, since she was well known for her excellent instincts.

Kang Yoon-Soo looked down at the handcuffs on his wrists and thought, ‘Escaping will be easy.’

He could easily pick the handcuffs using the piece of metal he had hidden underneath his sleeves. It was something he had done almost every day back in the life he had lived as a thief. In fact, there was a time when he had cut the rope right before he was about to be hanged, running away with his band of thieves.

‘But that doesn’t seem to be the answer this time.’

He had been arrested, and that meant he was a criminal. He would become a fugitive if he undid his handcuffs and ran away.

‘The others might get involved if I become a fugitive.’

Wanted posters would be spread all over the continent, and his plans would face a huge setback if they were on the investigators’ radar from then on. That was why Kang Yoon-Soo decided to give up on escaping for the time being.
