“Selfish bastard.”825047200809bcf2b9d9

Ha Shinsung e96f8fb500 was a 8da63c8649 traitor. A deceiver. A thief db5216addf and a ea5746e84e liar. The thought of such a man becoming a virtuous person who 759ddddb22 sacrificed himself to lessen Jung Ryujin’s burden made him sick. He couldn’t tolerate 10f31b591e such a sloppy a677833d18 turn of events. Whose scenario 6d58bfc298 was this? Whose game 122957dc57 was this?642067ac07ec2c40b714

Shin Haebeom 52bfe244af gritted his 0221f1e169 teeth. Ha Shinsung 9a47f3d0d9 had to c4930185ca live. He had to live, realize his sins, deeply regret and suffer, 77fcdec2cb and then pay for his crimes on the execution stand for 49b4fba4e2 exploiting the misfortunes of the times for his own personal gain. He couldn’t forgive the sin of seeking c1da53b192 a ticket to heaven through self-reform.149517a566a85331685d

There was one comforting a9c65c362d fact in this situation. The fact that 48fadb4794 Ha Shinsung’s arrest 1a7ed002de hadn’t been revealed 1d66e1a945 to the press. Shin Haebeom b7f1f7c98f repeated his 6b6f136358 warning.c24b26351227da5b223f

The thought that Jung Ryujin might sympathize with Ha Shinsung and say something ridiculous like wanting to be by his side made 73ebee86b3 Shin Haebeom want to rush to the hospital and yell at Ha Shinsung, “You’re no help to his life, you bastard!”aa3d89fe07e01665e4ff

Shin Yena gestured. Ryujin, approaching with eb19fdf5c4 the tickets in 66d88fc2ef his hand, gaped.
