LOGINEvander's already stern face turned even colder when he heard Charles's question. He looked up with a dark expression, not understanding why Charles was asking him that.
“What do you mean by asking me that?” Evander squinted his eyes with displeasure.
Charles shrugged indifferently, unfazed by the hatred emanating from Evander. “I'm just curious about your relationship.
Evander's already stern face turned even colder when he heard Charles's question. He looked up with a dark expression, not understanding why Charles was asking him that.“What do you mean by asking me that?” Evander squinted his eyes with displeasure.Charles shrugged indifferently, unfazed by the hatred emanating from Evander. “I'm just curious about your relationship. I see that you two seem close,” Charles replied.Evander, who was sitting down to prepare the bonfire, stood up, intending to warn Charles that he and Poppy had a very close relationship.However, at that moment, Poppy and the others arrived from the back of the yard, carrying the ingredients they would use to make dinner that night.“Are you done with the fir
“Oh, no! Where is that woman?!” Poppy blinked several times when she realized she was quite far from the streets of the economic district.Poppy turned to Charles, unconsciously grabbing his hand. This time, it was Charles' turn to fall silent as he stared at Poppy, who was holding his hand.“I don't know...” Charles' voice was soft, sounding unfocused.As Poppy looked around in confusion, she heard hurried footsteps in the distance.The slender figure of a woman came into view, her breath filling the air.However, Poppy recognized the woman, so she hurriedly walked towards her.“Thank God you're still here,” said Poppy, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the yo
“Just admit that you're afraid your crimes will be exposed?” Poppy sneered at Edwin, flashing him a condescending smile.Edwin's face flushed red when he realized Poppy was mocking him like that. Unconsciously, Edwin's ego was hurt because Poppy's words made his mind chaotic, and he couldn't keep his face straight to play his role.“Damn you! You should be grateful that I let you go. This time, I won't just stand by and do nothing.” The veins on Edwin's face began to show; his eyes were glaring at Poppy.Poppy smirked silently when she saw Edwin's reaction. This would make it easier for her to prove Edwin's actions to Robert.“What are you trying to do, Edwin?” Robert's voice sounded displeased as he reprimanded Edwin, who was about to lunge at Poppy in anger.
The girl kept urging Poppy to flee immediately before the guards arrived. “Please go, I can't let anyone else get into trouble because of me,” the girl said, almost begging Poppy.Poppy gently patted the girl's arm, which was still holding hers, trying to calm the girl who looked very anxious.“Calm down, I'm not doing this just for you. Bastards like him need to be taught a lesson so they'll learn their lesson,” Poppy replied with a warm smile.“But—”"Stop trying to be a hero, bitch. I won't let you go if you don't leave quickly," said Edwin with a chuckle, a perfect smirk on his lips.Poppy clicked her tongue, completely disgusted by Edwin's repulsive behavior. She would not let a bastard like him get away with it. She wou
One of the women waiting for Poppy's response began banging on the kiosk table and glaring at Poppy as she said, “What exactly is it? Tell us the truth!”Poppy, who looked hesitant, unconsciously swallowed hard when she heard the woman's loud voice.“Actually, I just returned to base and the natural disaster did indeed happen. That's why I was very interested in your previous conversation.” Poppy said with a slight grimace, intending to quickly pay for her items and leave.However, Poppy did not expect the women's reaction to be what she had thought it would be. Their faces, which had looked stern, began to soften, and they even looked surprised.“Did you experience it yourself?”Poppy nodded slowly.
“It feels so lonely going alone like this,” Poppy muttered as she walked down the street toward the economic district.Poppy noticed that the streets felt busier than yesterday when she had just returned to base. It seemed like more people had returned to base today.There were many survivors passing by on the streets, and Poppy could see that some of them were injured and needed medicine to treat their wounds.“Looks like I should buy some medicine for my next trip too,” Poppy muttered softly.When Poppy set foot in the economic district, she saw many stalls lined up there. Poppy was grateful she had decided to go shopping today; she was sure it was the right time to collect good items.Poppy was sure that the people who had
