“Still, I gotta admit you're a top-class woman. And don't say I've got nothing to base that on, okay? I've good eyes for people, you know? Will you believe me if I say I knew that punk was a loser from the very beginning~?” Guo Liqin glibly muttered while yanking Choi Yeon-Ha's face closer by her collar.

She couldn't fight back at all. Guo Lqin's strength was such that not even a grown adult male could fight back. Choi Yeon-Ha even briefly wondered why her bathrobe hadn't been ripped apart from the force yet!

“Loser? Who is this loser that you keep talking about!” Choi Yeon-Ha yelled back. Since she couldn't physically fight back, the next best thing was to use her voice to resist.

She bit down hard on her lip.

Scenes like this appeared frequently in various movies. Whenever Choi Yeon-Ha saw such a scene, she couldn't figure out what the female characters were thinking. What were they planning to do if the male lead didn't show up to save them?

Would anything change by them sobbing and begging? Would yelling and screaming make any difference in the end?

“I'm sure you've already guessed it, though? You'll see for yourself later on anyway, so I guess it's fine to tell you, eh? It's Liu Wei. That loser.”

“That son of a b*tch...!” Choi Yeon-Ha loudly gritted her teeth. That loser was behaving like a powder keg earlier, ready to blow... And sure enough, he went and created a massive problem! Choi Yeon-Ha urgently focused her attention back on Guo Liqin. “Y-you! You're doing this only because he paid you, right?”

“Well, saying he paid me is slightly incorrect, but yeah, it's something similar. Besides all that, though... Your Chinese is really good, you know that? Liu Wei said it's barely comprehensible, but I guess you just didn't want to talk to that loser, eh? Yup, you are one smart lady, I tell ya.” Guo Liqin cackled while dragging Choi Yeon-Ha toward the bed.

That was when Choi Yeon-Ha urgently yelled at him. “How much did he pay you?”

“Ng?” Guo Liqin stopped and glanced back at her.

“Someone like you obviously wouldn't call that loser your 'boss', right? So, how much did he pay you to do this?”

“Huh?” Guo Liqin's brows rose up in surprise.

Obviously, this wasn't his first rodeo, so to speak. Folks of the shadowy world were very honest with their ambitions and desires. Unsurprisingly, one of those desires was lust.

Some men would stop literally at nothing to 'acquire' the women they lusted after. Guo Liqin wasn't exactly a fan of this sort of work, but that didn't mean he'd shy away from a fat payday, either. So, he had some experience in... 'handling' various women this way.

Even then, Choi Yeon-Ha was the first woman to respond like this.

Now genuinely curious, Guo Liqin asked her a question. “What makes you think I don't work for that loser?”

Choi Yeon-Ha shot back. “There is no way a stinking mutt like him can order a tiger around!”

“Hah? Hahaha!” Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

A tiger, was it...? Now that was one well-calculated declaration! Choi Yeon-Ha was obviously trying to suck up to Guo Liqin and loosen his guard. In a different situation, he would've roundly ignored such an attempt, but not right now. To be able to calculate that much in such a dire situation demonstrated how smart this woman was.

Guo Liqin leaned in closer. “Listen, naive lady. In this day and age, money can even make a tiger obedient toward a mutt.”

“I know that! That's why I told you I'll give you more!”

“Really? You'll pay me more than he did?”

“That's right!” Choi Yeon-Ha cried out, her voice verging on a scream. “How much did that loser say he'll pay you?! Listen here! I can pay you several times more. Tell me how much you want, and I'll more than match it!”

“...Huh. I guess you are rich, aren't you?” Guo Liqin slowly shook his head.

Most folks belonging to the world in the shadows didn't have to worry about money problems, but that didn't mean they were loaded enough to shout loudly about it, either. To think Choi Yeon-Ha's world prioritized pretty faces over talent...

“Your offer is mighty tempting, but here's the thing. I also have my own circumstances. I can't just quit my day job to accept your money, you know?”

“You will get enough money from me to last you a lifetime!”

“Heh, that sure is tempting, alright. Very much so. Unfortunately, smart lady... Money isn't as important as keeping my life. That's how an adult's world operates, you know!”

“Then...!”

“That's enough,” Guo Liqin scowled in irritation. He gripped Choi Yeon-Ha's collars harder to stop her from talking, then easily tossed her on the bed.

“Aaaahk!”

Even if the bed was supple and soft, the impact of her landing was still considerable. Choi Yeon-Ha cried out in pain, but even then, her anxious eyes were urgently scanning the suite's exit.

'No one's coming?!'

Undoubtedly, this was the absolute worst situation for her. That loser, also known as Liu Wei, obviously wanted only one thing from her. And it'd be the worst fate a woman could suffer. Even as the threat of such a fate loomed over her, Choi Yeon-Ha's head was rapidly filling up with worries about something else.

“Ptooi!” Choi Yeon-Ha spat at Guo Liqin.

However, he simply cocked his head out of the way to dodge the incoming saliva. “Sorry. I'm not into that sh*t. I guess I can't humor everything, eh?”

Guo Liqin's hand reached high enough to yank open her bathrobe and reveal her body covered only in underwear.

“Whee-woo...” Guo Liqin wolf-whistled. Although she seemed a bit excessively thin, Choi Yeon-Ha's figure was still excellent enough to make him do a double-take. “Lady, I'm curious about something.”

“What?!”

“If I don't kill you afterward and let you go, you think you can still carry on with your life?”

“Isn't that obvious?! Listen here, you piece of sh*t! You think I'll get traumatized by this? This is nothing! It's no worse than falling into a pit of sh*t, that's all!”

“Good, good. Then I won't feel as guilty, then!” Guo Liqin smirked and stuck his tongue out to lick Choi Yeon-Ha's leg.

That felt like a cold snake was slithering across her skin. Choi Yeon-Ha's expression rapidly froze.

'Others must be okay, right?'

Seeing how she was still worried about Han Eun-Sol and others in this situation, it seemed Choi Yeon-Ha was also beyond help. She half-resigned herself and threw her head back, only to catch the glimpse of the suite's ceiling with geometric patterns.

'If I knew this would happen, I should've met him first...'

Choi Yeon-Ha gritted her teeth. She only needed to endure. Endure! As long as she clenched her teeth and endured, this much would be nothing.

Guo Liqin reached up and grabbed Choi Yeon-Ha's underpants, then smirked like an insidious snake. “Now, then. Shall we begin? Oh, before that. I gotta confirm something. After we're done, we probably won't be thinking straight, after all.”

Choi Yeon-Ha silently glared at Guo Liqin.

“How do you wish to die?”

“...”

“I don't want to hurt you if I can help it, you see? Maybe I... I think I've fallen in love with you or something.”

“Shut up, you insane bastard.”

“Got it. I'll take that as you don't care how. Well, then. Let's enjoy ourselves, shall we?”

And then, just as Guo Liqin tried to yank Choi Yeon-Ha's underwear down!

Something bone-chilling suddenly happened.

Craaaaaack...!

That was a somewhat bizarre noise. So bizarre, in fact, that Guo Liqin in heat had to force himself to stop and turn his head to look.

That noise had come from the suite's entrance. The weird thing about that noise wasn't that it came from there. No, the really-weird thing was the nature of that noise itself. Something like that couldn't normally be produced, after all.

That noise was only possible when an incredible force crushed metal. It was the scream of metal unable to withstand that force!

'W-what the f*ck?'

Guo Liqin's complexion was drained of color immediately.

Creeeak...

And then, the crushed door slowly opened up. The bizarrely-distorted door obediently stood to the side to allow a man to walk inside.

This man reached the suite's living room, then stared at the scene on the bed.

As all this happened, Guo Liqin was unable to move a muscle. Not even an inch. As if he was a rat that had encountered an imposing cat!

No, it'd be more correct to say... His entire body had frozen up in sheer terror like a sinful man standing before King Yama!

He could see bizarre and unexplainable things behind the young man entering the suite. Those things... were death and judgment! If the grim reaper was real, it must've looked like this man.

“So...” The man slowly opened his lips, allowing his bone-chilling voice to leak out of there. “How do you wish to die?”

That man was none other than Kang Jin-Ho. And when his voice registered in her hearing, an expression too complicated to describe formed on Choi Yeon-Ha's face.

She tearfully yelled at Kang Jin-Ho. “You dummy! How could you be this predictable and show up only now?!”

With her tension finally released, tears began flooding out of her eyes.
