“There really was such a cave?” Taehyung looked at the dark, dingy cave. He had always assumed that the cave’s existence was just a rumor, he didn’t expect to actually find that it existed with his own two eyes. Thinking back to the rumors that going into it would make you powerful, he turned his eyes to Jungkook. “Brother Jungkook, are the rumors true or false?”

Jungkook was silent, pursing his lips as he looked at the cave with a grim expression. After a while, he finally opened his mouth to reply. “It’s true, but the price is high.”

“What’s the price?”

This time, it wasn’t Jungkook who replied, but Lisa, “Your soul.”

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and what you pay for was usually what you get. Though the cave would give you powers beyond your imagination, from the moment you walked in, you would no longer be yourself when you walked out.

Desire, money, fame, and fortune, these were the things that most people crave in their hearts. If you couldn’t escape this circle of desire, then you wouldn’t be able to avoid temptations.

“Soul?” Taehyung repeated, stunned. He turned to Jungkook again, silently staring at him for confirmation, and the latter nodded his head lightly.

This was beyond Taehyung’s scope of comprehension, he always knew that Jungkook was not an ordinary person, and that people like him were rare. But this was the first time he had encountered something that was so strange and despicable.

“Why did it appear here suddenly?” As someone who had gone through a lot of hardships and encountered many shocking things, Taehyung managed to pull himself together after only a short time. There were two masters in his presence after all, though his hands were still trembling slightly. “Can it be resolved?”

Lisa looked up at the negative yin energy that was swirling above them, her eyes wandered. “Yes, and the source of the issue lies with you.”

As she spoke, her hands were also moving. “This is not really a mountain cave, but an array. Its purpose is to deliberately harm ordinary people who are directly or indirectly connected to you. The person who deployed this formation is surely someone that you know.”

As she finished drawing her formation, the cave gradually faded behind a cloudy mist.

Jungkook, who had been standing next to her, was rubbing his fingers together. In the end, he didn’t need to do anything. This level of formation was still not dangerous, it was good practice for her.

“There’s actually someone who wants to do this to such an amazing and handsome man like me?” Looking at Lisa’s calm demeanor, Taehyung felt the fear that had gripped his heart lessen. He observed the foggy mist shrouding the cave, his eyes still slightly wide with shock. “Lili, you’re also cool!”

“It’s just you that was scared.” Lisa lowered her hands, glancing at the man lying on the ground. “Take care of this guy, he has talent, but he’s been suppressed all the while by those petty people. He can still be groomed.”

“Alright.” Taehyung glanced at the tanned man lying on the ground, not being able to make out his face. The military rules were extremely strict, this man had fled without proper permission and had ignored the military regulations. Normally, the person would be punished or expelled when he returns to the barracks, but since the things that Lisa said had made sense, he would let him remain in the military for now.

After surveying the area, Jungkook came back to find the two chatting happily, his eyes narrowed. “Taehyung, when you get home, let aunty know about this.”
