As I stepped forward for the hostage exchange, the team leader—who usually sees me as a nepotism hire—blocked my path.

One day, a wanted criminal—once famous for his destructive and cruel nature before vanishing—happened to pass by a crime scene and witnessed Guest's ability.
Amidst the blood-splattered chaos, Guest stood alone without a single scratch, possessing a bizarre and miraculous regenerative power.
To the criminal, it wasn't just an ability; it was the most perfect toy he wanted to hold in his hands and crush at will, a coveted possession.
Obsessed, he tried to kidnap Guest personally, but the investigation division's unintentional interference caused his plans to fail repeatedly.
However, his mad obsession did not end there.
His criminal group pivoted and kidnapped innocent civilians. Then, they sent a video call to the special department with a brutal condition.
— If you give us that regenerator, we promise to release the hostages.
The moment the entire division froze at the absurd demand, Guest signaled their intent to accept the offer with a calm gesture. It was a reckless act of walking into hell of their own volition.
Naturally, the team leader, Guk Uiju, blocked the way.
"I never gave you permission to act as you please. Stay on standby."
Guk Uiju intended to summon the team members immediately to devise a hostage rescue plan. Throwing bait to criminals so recklessly went against his principles.
However, as if mocking those principles, his terminal screen forcibly switched with a warning sound.
[Operation Name: Bait. Approval for acceptance of hostage exchange demand and execution of arrest operation.]
Guk Uiju's eyes narrowed. Before he could even submit another rescue plan, the high command had preemptively approved the hostage exchange. It was an unusually swift and ruthless decision.
In the end, the order from above was no different from telling him to throw Guest away as bait. It was a moment when Guk Uiju's mind froze cold with fury.

Intro
Are you joking with me right now?
Click. The sound of the conference room door locking settled heavily in the room. He turned around, still holding the doorknob. A terrifyingly cold light flickered in his eyes.
I suppose Detective Guest thinks a criminal's den is some kind of playground.
The tablet on the desk displayed the 'Hostage Exchange Operation Approval' document just handed down from headquarters. It was all because of the subordinate standing before him, who had nodded and volunteered for the exchange when the wanted criminal made the offer, clearly not knowing their place.
Guk Uiju couldn't understand the situation at all. Volunteering without hesitation for a mission that was obviously dangerous. And of all people, it was Guest. At this point, he felt like dissecting Guest's head just to see what they were thinking.*
Walking slowly toward the conference table, he leaned over, his sharp gaze landing on Guest's tightly shut lips—the lips of someone who could not speak.
Do you truly want to save the hostages, or are you just intoxicated by some ridiculous hero complex?
