Sorry, Too Late의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

"W-What is that?" Ivana lay trembling on the bed, her face drained of color. It was the first time she had ever seen something like that, and terror rippled through her whole body."That's the Death Writ."Truthfully, Ivana wasn't the only one scared. Evan's heart was pounding too. Before inheriting the Ninefold Arcane Arts, he had been just an ordinary man. He'd never touched geomancy, metaphysics—hell, even medicine and martial arts had once been foreign to him. This was his first exorcism. It would've been impossible not to feel fear.But he forced himself to remain steady. Closing his eyes, he quietly channeled the Ninefold Arcane Arts and formed several hand seals in rapid succession. Then he pointed and commanded, "Perish!"A talisman ignited in an instant. The writhing black mass screamed as it was engulfed in flames, burning violently until nothing remained but ash.Silence fell.The villa sank into utter stillness. On the bed, Ivana's body jolted, and then a wave o

'The Queen of Finance keeping a man, and that man being Evan? That's impossible!'Sure, even someone as powerful as the Queen of Finance was still a woman, still human, still with needs. That much was nothing out of the ordinary. But Anya simply couldn't picture Evan having any connection at all to someone of Ivana's stature. Their worlds weren't merely different—they were literally worlds apart."Dad, are you sure you didn't mishear?" Anya asked, her expression twisted with disbelief.Graham shook his head. "No chance. That voice sounded exactly like Evan's."Then, noticing Anya's strange expression, he burst out laughing. "Oh, Anya, don't tell me you actually thought the man hiding in the Queen of Finance's house was Evan? You're overthinking it! Countless people in the world sound alike! Didn't you say Evan and Zeke sound extremely similar?""That's true." Anya relaxed immediately as she thought, 'I'd overreacted. Hearing his name only startled me; that's all. Many share a vo

Seth suddenly redirected the conversation, his gaze moving between the Iron Dragon and the others.Aria and Victor immediately felt their stomachs drop. They had assumed Seth and Tyson were only here to visit, never imagining Evan would be brought up.Victor cursed them silently. 'They're doing this on purpose. They've definitely known about Mr. Norwood for a while. Dragon's Breath and Sky Titan are already at a stalemate—if these two jump into the mix now…'As the realization settled in, both he and Aria stiffened visibly.But the Iron Dragon had no such concerns. If anything, he was eager to retell how he had clawed his way back from death's door. "You mean Evan? You must've heard something by now. I was already halfway to the underworld, but that kid dragged me back alive! Tell me that isn't a miracle! Hahaha!"Seth and Tyson stared at him, eyes wide, completely shocked and undeniably intrigued. After all, they were talking about bringing someone back from the dead. It was un

'Bang!''Crack!''Crack!'Three of the black-clad assassins had their necks snapped in the blink of an eye. It was clean, efficient, and most importantly, a brutal display of power. In the end, only the leader remained standing. A cold tremor ran down his spine as he drew in a sharp breath.Even Sylvie and the others, who were all watching from a short distance away, were stunned speechless. 'What the fuck did we just witness?! Mr. Norwood, someone who supposedly needs our protection, had just snapped the necks of three top-tier assassins like it was nothing!'Tyson and Seth were even more shocked as this was their first time meeting Evan. 'Isn't Mr. Norwood weak? Doesn't he need protection? He just killed three elite assassins in seconds! Was that what weak actually meant around here? Is this really happening right now?'Yet, even Victor and Aria looked just as dumbfounded. 'What the… Who the… What?!'Sylvie and Ivana could also only stare at the scene with wide, disbelieving e

This wasn't a hint at all—she was practically spelling it out for him.However, Evan pretended not to notice. He had never agreed to the so-called favor Aria kept talking about; that was something she had brought up on her own.Aria, on the other hand, was starting to panic. 'I'm practically waving a neon sign here! How is Mr. Norwood still not reacting?'"What's with the eyebrow gymnastics?" Tyson watched her expression shift and couldn't help asking."Huh? Nothing…" Aria snapped her gaze away and dropped her head. Evan had basically turned her down.The rejection stung. Soon, frustration crept in under the guise of disappointment. 'I'm the unit's beauty—my looks and figure are both top-tier. How could Mr. Norwood not be interested? He doesn't have to dismiss me if he already has Ms. Santon, does he?'Aria thought about it again and decided the problem lay in her first impression. 'I was a complete mess when we first saw each other. The Iron Dragon was dying, my attitude toward
