ED: Ozriel
PR: Naa_chi
Jade crossed his arms. He glared at with a sneer on his face.
I don't know what you're talking about. Are you nitpicking over a deal that's done?
"I'm sure you know it's not nitpicking
I stood up and leaned over the table with both hands. My upper body moved forward, closing the gap between and Jade. I grinned and watched his face as he looking down at with his arms folded and chin raised.
"What I wanted was to prevent you from betraying no matter what."
""
"Why? You didn't think I'd tear it up because it's so expensive per sheet?"
His eyebrows quivered at my provocation. Of course, I didn't actually tear up the contract in the original story. I uttered this because I knew how Ki Yoon Jae was stabbed in the back.
Did you rip that? I didn't expect to be caught."
This jerk
He was so shaless. He sat there with such a fantastic answer, saying that he didn't know he would get found out.
If anyone else was listening to the current conversation, they might say, "Of course, paper could be torn, should that even be a consideration ?"
To be honest, when I didn't have Ki Yoon Jae's mory, I swore at Ki Yoon Jae saying,"Wow, why did you fall for such a poor trick? Isnt Ki Yoon Jae a complete fool?"
The only way to nullify this man's leash and my life contract was to rip it up? I thought that if Ki Yoon Jae was not an idiot, then the people of this world must be fools.
Bastard
I stared at Jade. Most of Ki Yoon Jae's mories were sparse, but only mories of Jade remained clear.
Ki Yoon Jae, who was preparing to create the guild, told Ki Hyun Joo to bring the man to Korea after hearing rumours about Jade.
I'm trying to make a guild by gathering gifted people. That's why I need a leash to stop them from betraying . I heard rumours that you could make sothing like that.
Jade's indifferent eyes widened after hearing the amount Ki Yoon Jae was offering, and the contract was made.
This man slyly deceived Ki Yoon Jae. He took out his lighter and tried to burn the contract he had made in front of Ki Yoon Jae.
Now, look. It doesn't burn. I made it so that it can't be destroyed, right?
Good. Excellent.
Who would have thought you could rip up a contract that couldn't burn?
That day, Ki Yoon Jae and Ki Hyun Joo were inadvertently tricked by this cunning man.
Why didn't he prevent the paper from being torn, even though he knew how to make the paper unburnable?
"If I told you I didn't know there was a flaw What would you do? Maybe I just forgot. Yeah?"
"No way. You did it on purpose."
I couldn't hide my sneer at the brazen man's words. The first reason he did so was to reassure Ki Yoon Jae and Ki Hyun Joo, and the second reason was
"You like that, don't you? Because you enjoy the chaos that cos from stabbing soone in the back.
This man loved chaos. He was a man who enjoyed the chaos that ca from breaking the rules, going against what people firmly believed in, and bursting into laughter when he saw their shocked faces.
The reason he made the contract unburnable but tearable was that he wanted Ki Yoon Jae, who was complacent, to be completely beaten by whoever found the loophole. Even if this ant Ki Yoon Jae's death.
Really an.
And he did not only sell this contract to Sungwoon in the original story. Later, when the demand for these gifted people increased, he sold it to other places. It was a contract that Sungwoon trusted. Since Sungwoon actually used this contract, the contract sold like hot cakes1 without having to further advertise.
Although it was not ntioned in the original story, Ki Yoon Jae would not have been the only one who suffered from the contract. When I thought about it, this man's malice was by no ans ordinary.
Nevertheless, I need this man.
There was no other suitable person to replace this man. There may have been other people who crossed the line between legal and illegal. However Unlike others, he loved only himself, so he couldn't be swayed by fate. Friends, lovers, family things like that.
Which ant that I had no reason to feel bad even if he betrayed .
Not because an old friend or family mber asked him to, and not because his lover's life was threatened, but solely because of his greed and desire.
He was the only person I knew who was like this. So the mont I'm betrayed, I will erase him from my life without regret.
"You"
His expression changed slightly as his determination beca apparent in his eyes. I kept talking to him, avoiding his gaze.
You're running away because you're being chased by soone, right?
I took out a small folded piece of paper from the inside of my jacket and spread it out on the table. My palm slamd the table with a thud, and Jade's gaze turned toward the paper but his face was slightly gloomy.
"This gang. The Gold Runner. It's a pretty big organisation. Your seclusion began when they started looking for soone, and of all tis, I commissioned you back then.
I turned and looked around the store. It was a modern store without fancy decoration, but only the person in front of knew what devices were hidden in it.
I asked him with a smile.
"You built this hideout out of my commission, didnt you?"
There were more than two contracts, and the price of one was not so low. Before becoming a gifted person, Jade was a poor engineer with a bad temper.
There was no way he had any hidden wealth, as he was the only one who had the property and had no rich relatives. In a way, this bar was built with my money.
How dare he stab such a grateful custor in the back? What a despicable man.
Im so disgusted that I really want to kill you but Because I need you, I can turn a blind eye to your previous mistakes.
Everyone in the room knew without saying that I could pay the price. The power of Sungwoon could protect him. Jade seed to be lost in thought as he looked down, listening to my story. I don't know what happened between him and the gang. He might have done the sa thing to them.
I wondered if the gang had any reason to risk choosing this person, but I didn't know anyone else who wouldn't feel guilty if I handled it later.
People in these positions take advantage of each other a lot, then they later collide and beco antagonistic with each other.
In the novels I'd seen so far, these characters later beca villains and no longer appeared. That's why I chose this person. I didn't want to lose soone precious to another person's malice
Huh?
A human figure passed in front of my eyes and I gasped, covering my eyes with one hand. My heart throbbed. I thought this had happened before
Didn't this happen at the end of last year's year-end party?
At that ti, I thought of soone and my heart was beating nervously. As I was bewildered by the palpitations that didn't calm down easily, Kwon Jae Hyuk placed his hand on my thigh.
"Yoon Jae-ya."
That voice cald down. I felt uneasy and precarious at my feet, but I felt like soone was supporting firmly.
Jade rose from his seat when I looked at Kwon Jae Hyuk, after I cald down.
"I'm sorry."
""
I still can't. I can't trust any organisation.
Why? We're like a gang"
"Whether it's a gang or a company."
After Jade cut off, he exhaled, smiled and continued.
Because it's all the sa to .
I couldn't say anything at the statent. He looked at with mixed emotions and reached for the door.
Please leave if you're done with your business.
Kwon Jae Hyuk and I stood up because we were no longer on the guest list.
I shook my head as he opened the door and said, "I won't tell the gang where your location, so rest assured."
Because if I were him, I wouldn't believe it either.
It won't be of any use to talk. Rather, he thought it would be more suspicious. When I ca out of the bar, the rain had stopped considerably. As soon as we climbed the stairs, the neon sign turned off. Compared to the dim underground, the outside was still spectacular with the night view. Thanks to the rain, the dust had settled and the sparkling lights were even clearer.
"Let's go back."
T/N: Post early because tomorrow is a bit busy.
To be sold quickly and in large quantities.
