VI | Chapter 16

‘Even if I don’t remember, it’s still my responsibility.’cbf06ebc4891f3ec

A blood-stained crime must eventually be paid for. That’s the law of this world. If you take someone’s life, you must be prepared to offer your own. Although Taehwon has no memory, it was he who took Chairman Kwon Jung-il’s life, and this fact would haunt him like a ghost, relentlessly pursuing him.4ab4ddc2989e7e26

They were the ones who had always disliked Kwon Rae and bullied him. If they found out that Kwon Rae had hidden Taehwon, who knows what price he would pay.

Taehwon didn’t know when he might regain his memory, and if he did, his current thoughts could completely change. Having killed Chairman Kwon, would he not harm the young master he served? Is there any guarantee he wouldn’t?4072ef3b227bddca
