Min took a short breath as he checked the contents of the file envelope once again. What in the world was going on? How could someone exist who looked exactly like Ha Seowon? It was too exact to dismiss as a mere resemblance. He could understand why Iden’s usually impassive face had frozen when they found this person by the lake. Unless they were identical twins, this was impossible. Min himself had witnessed Seowon’s death and the entire cremation and funeral process. Could the dead have returned…-

TL | Chapter 39 | Light
8:30 PM. As they arrived in front of the aquarium, a man who seemed to be the person in charge came out to meet Iden and Seowon but flinched upon seeing the men in black suits. It was only natural to feel tense around such an unusual group. For precaution, the security team had accompanied them the whole way from the car to the aquarium entrance. Given that it was an enclosed building, defending against an attack inside would be challenging, which only made them look more suspicious to the…-

TL | Chapter 38 | Overprotective
Just as Iden had mentioned, around five in the evening, Min arrived with the groceries. The amount he’d bought was staggering—behind Min, a line of security guards followed, each carrying paper boxes filled with every kind of food ingredient imaginable. When they spread out the boxes across the living room floor, Seowon couldn’t help but sigh. It looked like they had enough supplies to last not just a few days but an entire month without stepping outside. There was no need for Seowon to wonder…-

TL | Chapter 37 | Date?
As soon as Ha Seowon fell back asleep, Iden stepped out into the hallway, where Min was waiting. He hadn’t entered, probably to avoid disturbing them. “The Underboss is waiting for you.” Hearing that Liam was waiting, Iden nodded and followed Min to the end of the same-floor hallway. Min knocked on the door for him, and a voice from inside asked who it was. “Director’s here,” Min answered in English, glancing back at Iden. Shortly after, the door opened, and one of Liam’s men stepped…-

“When did you get here?” Seowon took a deep breath, as if trying to shake off the remnants of sleep, but soon winced in pain. Although he didn’t groan, and his expression only twisted for a brief moment before he acted as if nothing was wrong, Iden, who had been watching him intently, stiffened. “And the job you had to take care of? Did you handle it?” Seowon changed the subject, but Iden remained silent, not offering any answer. Whether Seowon was genuinely curious or just fishing for…

Leo and the other bodyguards swallowed nervously, thinking it might actually be better if someone just shouted or threw a tantrum. Bang! Another gunshot echoed. This time, blood began to flow from the man’s right arm. He gritted his teeth, breaking into a cold sweat. Though he refrained from screaming, which was commendable, he was trembling like an aspen tree, as if he sensed his impending fate. “This time was a mistake. With your right arm shot, you can’t shoot a gun anymore.” Though he…

TL | Chapter 34 | The Ambush
Seowon grabbed the shoulder of the staff approaching Iden, forcing him to turn around. The staff member looked back, seemingly bewildered. Because of the commotion in the middle of the auction, a few people at nearby tables turned to look at Seowon and the staff member. “What’s…?” Before the staff could ask, Seowon quickly lifted the cloth covering the tray he was holding. In that instant, the staff member twisted away from Seowon’s grasp, overturned the tray, and revealed a gun hidden…-

I saw him enter the hallway leading outside the banquet hall, but even though I followed him right away, he was nowhere in sight. As I walked along the corridor looking for him, I felt a presence beside me, and then someone grabbed my arm and pulled me. I instinctively tried to resist but halted my movements at the familiar scent of pheromones drifting toward me. “Director?” It was dark in the hallway, and he had his back turned, so I couldn’t clearly see his face. But I was sure it was…

TL | Chapter 32 | Auction
The Grand Hotel Incheon Branch was situated not far from Incheon Port. The unique thing about it was that its grand banquet hall was located underground, unlike most hotel venues. Arriving first with part of the security team, Seowon inspected the banquet hall thoroughly, setting up additional surveillance cameras in blind spots not covered by the hotel’s CCTV system. He stationed security personnel throughout the hall, then went to wait by the entrance for Iden’s arrival. Across from the hotel…-

TL | Chapter 31 | Not Easy
After sending Jian away, Seowon went straight to Iden’s office and knocked on the door. Without waiting for a response from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in, catching Iden’s gaze as he looked up from whatever he was reviewing on his computer. “I don’t remember telling you to come in.” Iden pointed out Seowon’s lack of manners, but Seowon wasn’t listening. “You offered Jian a scouting proposal, didn’t you?” He walked straight up to Iden’s desk and asked…-
