Kulundi, who was already suffering, had been forcing himself to hold on. That was, until Lin Jingjing accurately stated the name of his Young Master.
He flew into a frenzy.
Kulundi twisted into a monstrous form, something neither human nor ghoul. His hands morphed into claws, and his face became covered in the scales and brown fur of a mutant beast.
Drool streamed from his open mouth as he struggled frantically, trying to break free from the shackles binding his hands.
A low growl escaped his lips, his scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Jingjing as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Lin Jingjing stood and walked to the iron bars of his cell, the two of them facing each other. Seeing his intense reaction, she let out a small laugh.
"So you do know Huang Bo Lin."
"And Huang Bo Lin is the 'Young Master' you all speak of?"
"I... don't... know—" Kulundi was still trying to deny it, but his micro-expressions and raw emotion gave him away.
Kulundi and Huang Bo Lin did know each other.
