Two of them— Soohyun and Kwangsoo— walked towards the direction of the dining room for the breakfast. The path they took was the longer one, and it was secluded.

"So, Eunwoo let you be free?" Kwangsoo asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

Soohyun nodded.

He then spoke out, "That boy is strange. He betrayed the Red Clan yet he still wants to support Han Minhyun, who he barely has any connections with. This makes me curious what happened in that year."

"Curiosity kills the cat, and sooner or later, the truth will come to light. For now, let's concentrate on getting this right. What did you find from those papers?" Soohyun voiced out.

"Damn! You are really lucky and found yourself some gem. Those doc.u.ments held the details on how the poision is created. The poison is colourless and odorless, and when mixed with food, it would not be noticed.

As the poison enters into the system of the members from the Red Clan, the people slowly lose their control, and they can be manipulated by those from the Blue Clan. This process takes up to months," he explained.

"I know that part. What else did you find out about?" Soohyun vocalised.

"Well, the methods to producing the poision was there, and from that, the antidote can be produced. There is only one thing mentioned about the antidote— a pureblood's blood. Other things are vague as if they themselves don't know about it or are trying to hide about it," Kwangsoo stated.

Soohyun nodded and voiced out, "That means they have made this poison from a long time, and about the poision with the Leader Oh Jaeho, it is not the same. He is not being controlled but rather rendered weak."

Shrugging his shoulder, Kwangsoo vocalised, "There could be more than one poison produced by them. We will be taken to the laboratory today, and from there, we would be able to find more information."

Letting out a sigh, Soohyun nodded her head and vocalised, "Yeah, let's hope for that. We are really running out of time at here."

After the breakfast was over, the three of them were shown to the research laboratory by Ahn Eunwoo, and they were tasked with their own work to do by him.

Soohyun and Kwangsoo were assigned to help a senior member of their research laboratory, Ahn Donghae, as he produced samples of a medicine.

After Kwangsoo and Soohyun wore their white coat, eye goggles, face mask, and gloves, they went to stand before Donghae. Placing the test tube in his hand down, he turned to look at them.

"The medicine we will be producing is a poison to the Red Clan. It is a confidential information, so this can not be revealed at any cost, or else death will be the only solution for you two," he vocalised.

Lee Soohyun did not them to be directly involved with the poison. This can be both a dangerous and a good thing. By staying this close to it, she will be able to get to learn more about it, but if the matters of this get revealed to the outside world and they get to know about it, Soohyun and Kwangsoo would be the first one to be doubted.

Turning her head slightly, Soohyun glanced at Eunwoo and wondered about his intention behind assigning her to such a position. Did he intend to help her or trap?

Unaable to read through him at this moment irritated Soohyun, but she was aware that she would not be able to do anything against it. Staring at the chemicals before her, she just hoped for the luck to be by her side. That is the only thing she could count on now.

"There is a high requirement for it now, but producing it is not only costly, but the materials are difficult to find," he vocalised, "Moreover, it has to be done manually, and producing it requires a week. Other than that, a huge amount of it is needed to poison one of those Red Clan's members."

Then, he added, "Nevertheless, it is one of our best production up until this point, and we are really proud of it. If you are able to contribute new ideas to this, your status will instantly be raised. That's why, work hard."

Enthusiastically, both she and Kwangsoo nodded.

Seeing their serious expression, the man found himself being satisfied, and he voiced out, "For your first task, you will be assigned with extracting blood from the Red Clan's member there. They can be violent at times, and the temperature of the room is quite low. That's why, take care."

"We will make sure of that, Sir Ahn," Soohyun vocalised, "Can we see how to make the poison as well? I am really interested in seeing how this entire thing works."

"If you manage to extract all the blood in time, I see no problem with letting you see how it works today," he stated.

Stepping into the room with the medical equipments in her hand, the sight before her caused her to let out a gasp. Countless members of Red Clan was chained to the wall, and they had their mouth covered with a piece of cloth.

They randomly moved in attempt to get out of those shackles, but it was impossible for them to fight against those tight hold.

Their skins appeared to be especially pale, and noticing the marks on their body, Soohyun found tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

Although she was not the one to get soft from such scenes, seeing how these innocent people were treated was able to evoke such emotions from her.

As if noticing how disturbed Soohyun felt at that moment, Kwangsoo placed his palm on top of her shoulder and gave it a slight squeeze.

Then, he whispered, "After all of this is over, let's get all of them out of here."

Hearing the soft voice from Kwangsoo came off as a surprise to Soohyun. Nonetheless, she nodded her head to his words. She truly wanted to get them out of this place and will be accomplishing that.
