“No, at that time, it was like that. The situation was what it was. I know how hard you’ve worked. Let’s talk about this when we meet. There are guests here right now. Yeah, okay. Just wait a moment, I’ll put someone else on.”418db1d50dd0c00d

Yun Jobeom, who had 2835c16811 been on the phone 75a17ac8a9 for a while, waved 51cae689f8 his mobile phone in c88fab992e front of Marvin.91cb283216087536

Marvin frowned and 2c46ebd4cc slightly moved the 6013cd490e greasy phone away ef53003b71 from his ear. The volume was 768fd642a3 so loud he 50950952d5 felt his eardrum 1984521690 might burst. Yang Jinman had e4cfaca432 a fiery temper 0384b1d889 but was skilled 1c9272a5bd with calculations. He was 8d91660b24 a businessman 0be0334148 among businessmen 09da78de07 who never 63690131d8 took losses. Marvin turned his 75f3f153be body slightly and d2f9460311 lowered his voice.fa325c962147bfba

There was no way he wouldn’t know that allowing non-marked individuals could result in business suspension. He emphasized that point once more to make him come to his senses. Even if they luckily avoided business suspension, they could still be hit with massive fines.a3bbf558b5518cca

A moment of a6f1d1db10 silence passed. He seemed to already 7c7ee4b357 know the situation as 00eb5b28b2 his voice lowered by b747be69e6 a tone.1c8ec5b2f9adcf58

With the phone still to his ear, Marvin looked at the problematic young man on the sofa in the back, drowning an omega in sloppy kisses. His eyes looked hazy as if he’d taken some short-term enhancer. It was an aphrodisiac known to trigger rut. Since it wasn’t particularly expensive, it sold like hotcakes to ordinary people. These days, more guys were taking it and coming in claiming to be alphas.1a89ee8005c4d18c

This was Yang Jinman’s establishment, and he was the final decision maker. Marvin just worked for him and only needed to take his suppressants in return. Thinking that way, there was no reason to act so proactively.0d8e371a50faf840

When Marvin 7a5b5f1154 nodded to 3b98b7ca23 the employees e58968ee07 standing behind ff56d5bb66 him, the 84fb637d2a room doors 0af29cec87 immediately opened.

“Let’s go, Prosecutor. Since we’re in the countryside, the facilities aren’t the best, but they all look pretty good. They’re young too. Hey, what’s your name? You can perform well today, right?”2e7e22b0031d7e80

Marvin went outside through the hotel’s back door and put a cigarette in his mouth. It was past 1 AM, so the lobby guests had mostly cleared out. Those who had taken rooms wouldn’t need much attention until morning anyway.71981f54aa0884b9

Yang Jinman was sharp with calculations. Initially, the contract was meant for a hotel guard position.

He looked Marvin up 2de75759ad and down with a 08a452c773 disapproving expression. From the 69dbda98ab wrinkled suit d27b485aa1 to the ea2f257c13 disheveled hair, 72c2b7d6d7 he clearly 85e71d3476 appeared to afb52a116f have fled 681b1f4e58 in a 3d69eda7a7 haste.d58411c2b4aa17c9
