The Devil Judge [BL Version]

The next day, Kang Yo-Han found himself standing in front of a sea of flashing cameras and eager news reporters. The air was thick with tension and anticipation, much like the aftermath of a storm. The explosion that had torn through his office was still fresh in everyone's minds, and the curiosity to know what had transpired hung heavy in the air.

Amidst the buzz of reporters' questions, Kang Yo-Han seized the moment. His voice, like a calm but powerful wave, cut through the noise. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to take this opportunity to address a matter of great importance."

The room fell silent, and the reporters' attention sharpened as Kang Yo-Han continued, "It has come to my attention that there are those among us who abuse their power to exploit the weak and unfortunate. Today, I am here to announce that our commitment to justice extends beyond the confines of this incident."

He paused for dramatic effect, allowing his words to sink in, and then announced, "Our next public trial will center around someone who has continually abused the weak and unfortunate. Minister Cha's son, Lee Young-min, will face the judgment of the public eye."

The shock that rippled through the room was palpable. Reporters exchanged astonished glances, their cameras capturing the wide range of emotions that played across their faces. Kang Yo-Han's declaration had taken them by surprise, and the implications of such a trial were immense.

In her lavish office, Minister Cha watched the press conference on a screen, her expression contorted in a mix of rage and disbelief. Her perfectly manicured nails dug into the armrest of her chair as she listened to Kang Yo-Han's words. This was an unexpected turn of events, a direct challenge to her influence and power.

The press conference had concluded, and as he made his way through the corridor, lost in thought, a voice sliced through the air, "Kang Yo-Han."

Startled, he turned to find Soo-hyun, Ga-on's best friend, standing before him. Her eyes were a mix of worry and anger, a potent combination that held him in place. She approached him, her steps measured but determined.

"What happened to Ga-on?" Her words were laced with a fierce protectiveness, a loyalty that came naturally to her. She was privy to the deep connection between Ga-on and Kang Yo-Han, and her concern was genuine.

Kang Yo-Han met her gaze evenly, his own eyes revealing nothing of the storm within. "He's safe," he replied.

Soo-hyun's gaze didn't waver. "And how am I supposed to believe you?" Her tone held a hint of accusation.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of Kang Yo-Han's lips. "You don't have to believe me. But know this—Ga-on's safety is paramount to me. I didn't know he had a cop friend."
