Chapter 1950. So It Was Still There. Within Me. (5) “Hurry! Quickly!” “N-No, we have to load this too!” “Is your wealth worth more than your life?” “It’s not wealth, it’s food! Are you telling us to flee without a thing and starve to death on the road?” At those words, Jwa Gohak bit down on his lip. He couldn’t deny it.
