Chapter 2 Return of the Sword Twenty years. That was how many years Heoncheon had spent in Korea after leaving the Central Plains. Even so, he vividly remembered what had been around the Blood Demon Cult. During the war against the Blood Demon Cult twenty years ago, numerous scouts had been stationed throughout the surrounding area to protect Alliance Leader Namgung Hwi.

Chapter 21 “Why on earth… was I feeling anxious?” After getting off the plane, Haesomm honestly explained why she had been feeling down the entire time. Then she began trying to figure out why. “Why was I so anxious? Hmm… Was I worried that Oppa might end up with one of the flight attendants? If he ended up with someone, that would mean dating…” Why does she have to say all of that out loud? Jaehyun’s ears grew hot as he unintentionally heard Haesomm’s inner…-

Chapter 20 It was a call to his mother, who was overseas. It was still dawn, so he hesitated to call at such an early hour, but fortunately, she seemed to be awake, and Seonyeong's voice came through. —Yes, son. “Were you sleeping?” —No. I just couldn't sleep. It must be morning there now. Have you eaten? “I have. You and Dad probably aren't having an easy time either, but please make sure you eat properly.” —As expected, you're the only one who thinks about us,…

Chapter 19 Je-hyeon even heard Haesom’s dissatisfied whisper and agreed with her. “Exactly. She’s twenty-two. She’s old enough.” Should I have been more careful? Even if she was his friend’s younger sister. “And besides, you said you’re Ju-geuk hyung’s best friend. How safe can it get?” The thought that the closer someone was, the more careful you should be lingered on the tip of Je-hyeon’s tongue, but he barely swallowed it. From the way Haesom spoke, she…

Chapter 34 But today was Friday, so of course she got an earful from her supervisor. When he said she would probably have to write a statement explaining herself, she repeatedly bowed her head and ended the call. Anyway, it had been tentatively decided that she would take a half-day off. Was it really okay for things to go this wrong from the very first day of getting her identity back? “Let’s keep our heads straight from now on, Song Ji-i.” Scolding herself, Ji-i checked her…-

Chapter 38 “No! Don’t look!” Elisa let out a sharp scream and hurriedly pulled the child tightly into her arms. At her desperate and frantic reaction, Howard hesitated and stepped back. “Don’t look. You mustn’t look. You can’t notice….” Her muttering voice trembled thinly with fear. Her body, which was holding the child, was trembling as well. He had only taken off the hood, yet she was reacting like this. Howard scratched his head in confusion. “First, calm…-

Chapter 37 “Looking at your face, I think you’re the one who needs treatment, not Noah.” When Gustave Milton pushed up his glasses and said that, Elissa gave an awkward smile and rubbed her thin cheek. Gustave Milton was a psychotherapist from a monastery. Elissa visited him once a month for Noah’s psychological treatment. Her parents were skeptical about the treatment, saying that Noah’s inability to speak was congenital, not caused by a psychological problem. That was why…

Chapter 39 The Tough Secretary After taking her seat, Hyeon-ju looked at Yuri and complained in an upset voice. “Assistant Manager, did I do something wrong? It’s not like I went around badmouthing the Vice President. I was just curious and worried because we’re on the same side, so I asked….” “I understand, of course, but there must be circumstances among the higher-ups that we don’t know about. As Manager Lee said, we just need to do our job properly as…-

Chapter 38 It Seems Like You're Angry, Not Sorry After getting off on the 10th floor, Yuri followed Hushin. Hushin stopped in front of a place marked “Private Room” and showed his face to the camera installed beside the door. As soon as the visitor verification was complete, the tightly closed door opened with a beep. Come to think of it, she had heard that the 10th floor only had the secure document room and private rooms. Since she had never had any reason to come to a place like…
