Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 744

From the moment Ranamun appeared, all the investigators’ eyes were drawn to him. Even his confidant regarded this as a bad omen.

Ranamun stood expressionlessly, yet the investigators already seemed to harbor boundless goodwill toward him based solely on his appearance.
