เข้าสู่ระบบHyeon-sin got a strange feeling. Surreptitiously one by one, ones who were not even underground numbers began to cover her, and she felt with her skin that the number of enemies was decreasing.
“Wang Chen! Do Shanghai organizations originally withdraw this quickly?”
“Because guys who save their own skins are everywhere!”Kek, kek. Her eyes and nose gradually stung at the toxic gas filled in all directions, so coughs burst out naturally.

Autumn had already deepened in Hong Kong, entering late November before anyone noticed.Having finished another grueling number battle and stepped down from the square ring today, Hyeon-sin caught her rough breath and merely stared blankly at the calendar inside her cell phone with sweat-drenched hands.While the numbers changed, her world had been thoroughly trapped inside this hotel. The rule cleverly set up by LF—never go outside the hotel—was paradoxically gifting Hyeon-sin grotesquely tedious yet safe days.Cut off from the outside world, the only things she could do were earn money by attending the underground factory or fight number battles on the ring while shedding sweat.As Hyeon-sin caught her gasping breath and walked out to the ring side, Wang Chen, who had been waiting, hurried over to hand her a clean towel and a bottle of cold water.“Wow! Agent S, you've finally broken through ground number 30! Congr
In an instant, a chilly shiver flowed down her spine as if her body temperature dropped rapidly.Hyeon-sin turned around hastily with the shock of her heart sinking abruptly.Under the harsh fluorescent lights of the underground factory, LF stood dressed in a flawless suit as if refusing to allow even a speck of dust. Exuding an alien beauty ill-suited for such a musty and dark basement, he approached Hyeon-sin step by step.Hyeon-sin instinctively gripped the cell phone inside her pocket and narrowed her brows. Her mind became cluttered wondering why on earth this man had come down all the way here, and from where he had heard her declaration just now.“...Why?”Hyeon-sin tilted her head and asked in a sharp voice. LF approached right in front of Hyeon-sin's nose and subtly leaned his upper body down. His violet pupils dyed in possessiveness curved savagely yet tenderly.“Because you are so precious.”
November 2nd, 7:00 AM in the early morning before dawn even broke.Looking at Ga Gye-yeong who appeared right before his eyes, LF smoothly raised the corners of his lips. It was an intriguing smile that simply wouldn't stop.To enter another's sanctuary so impolitely without a prior appointment at a time when the sun had barely risen, let alone breakfast.‘This man really doesn't give a moment to be bored.’LF once again fully realized the value of Hyeon-sin's existence. That she was alluring enough to make such a giant lose his reason and come on his own feet—he felt a certainty that holding her by his side was indeed a fortunate choice.On the other hand, Hermann, who guarded LF's side, guided Ga Gye-yeong with his forehead heavily furrowed and then drew his body back.Dressed in a languid outfit with a silk nightgown lightly draped, LF buried his body deep into the living room sofa. With an elegant gesture, he offered Gy
Pushing his chair back roughly, Gye-yeong stood up abruptly.From deep within his chest, an uncontrollable, ferocious wildness raised its head. His heart raced madly, and clammy cold sweat soaked his palms.In their world, being exposed to danger meant hiding or stepping down as an agent—a choice strictly left to the individual. Yet how dare Hanbidan try to forcibly hunt his woman, Hyeon-sin, who had already retired from active duty?His skin crawled, and a sharp, burning sensation surged through his mind. Intent to kill dyed his eyes a deep red.“I beg of you... please protect my friend in Hong Kong, Mr. Ga. I wanted to ask you this in person, even if it cost me my life.”“...Right. You did well to gather this information.”What would have happened had he not obtained this intel? Even if he managed to pull Hyeon-sin away from LF midway, they wouldn't have been able to return to South Korea right a
Ga Gye-yeong, who regrettably sent Hyeon-sin back, could not move from his spot for a while. Silly as it was, he fiddled with the yellow handkerchief Hyeon-sin handed over and left in his hand, immersed in a deep lingering impression.A yellow handkerchief was a promise to return, and the fellow whispered that she would guard his back.However, LF was not such an easy man. He was a cruel human who brought those numerous forces to their knees under his feet during that short time in Europe, facing a pool of blood head-on. The remaining nine months that Hyeon-sin had to endure under the surveillance of such a monster would be like a hell where even life and death could not be guaranteed.Still, Gye-yeong wanted to believe in Hyeon-sin. Therefore, he too had to move. When that fellow endured the remaining nine months and returned, he had to quickly build a splendid world where she no longer needed to hide in the dark and erase herself.“M
“Don't go back today. Sin, spend it with me.”In an instant, Hyeon-sin's large pupils shook noticeably. Completely frozen at the unexpected explicit proposal, she stopped breathing and stared at Ga Gye-yeong. The moment he faced that face turning pale with embarrassment, a late regret of 'oh no' surged from a corner of his heart.Was he too hasty?Hyeon-sin, who had been frozen for a moment, barely fidgeted with her fingers and opened her lips as if troubled.“I... must go in by 10 o'clock today. Because I have to keep my promise.”The voice struggling to give a reason for refusal was trembling faintly.10 o'clock. Recalling the cruel deadline LF had drawn made his stomach burn, but Gye-yeong didn't want to burden her any further. Quietly reaching out his hand, he lightly stroked Hyeon-sin's soft hair.“Even if you go in now anyway, you'll just wash up and sleep, so just go tomorrow.”
