Chapter 425

Episode 425

: Name Jang Seo-ah. Age is 6 years old. No matter where you look, a kindergartener is growing up.

The child was so pretty as a doll that Lee Jae-heon applauded and acknowledged it. It wasn’t for a day or two that I thought to myself, ‘Is my appearance also a talent?’, as I saw my face shining even in the harsh environment of the secret world. I sometimes wondered about the faces of parents who dyed their pretty children’s hair and tied their weak hair tightly.

“...that child....”

“I will take him with me.”

“...All right.”

As he came out into the hallway with Jang Seo-ah in his arms, Jeong Eun-woo’s eyes were burning after him, but he couldn’t leave a 6-year-old child under the same roof with a crazy killer. Song In-myeong must have originally thought that Lee Jae-heon would turn out like this and brought him in.

‘...Thanks to you, I had to pay a price I hadn’t planned on, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t not take him out...’ My

shoulders and back, where I had touched Song In-myeong because I liked him, were throbbing. By that time, I was on the verge of losing my mind.

‘I don’t know the child... Isn’t this human trafficking? No, the child...’ Lee Jae

-heon appeared to be acting fine on the outside, but from the moment he met Jang Seo-ah in an unexpected place, the ego of a modern man became stronger. No matter how bad the old manager’s conscience was, he couldn’t have been unimpressed by this situation. Lee Jae-heon’s mind was confused after meeting the kindergarten student in this bloody place.

Fortunately, my mind, which had been spinning, became much calmer after getting into the car. The modern self goes in and the personality of a past life comes out. It was a replacement close to survival instinct.

“...Would the Chairman not like it?”

When Jaeheon Lee asked, Eunwoo Jeong, sitting in the passenger seat, answered.

“If it’s not exposed to the media, they won’t care. “No one said anything about the work purchased at the event, so I think there will be no problem as long as the manager takes good care of it.”

“is it.”

Actually, the second part of the event had a stronger illegal flavor. However, Lee Jae-hee did not object to attending a place that went far beyond the line. Unlike the first part, which was mainly about dinner, the auction was the main event, so I would have expected to buy one or two ‘works’.

I didn’t think it would be a big problem to bring in a living child in such a situation.

‘It probably means that Jaehee Lee can turn a blind eye to that.’

As Jeong Eun-woo said, it will not end up making a fuss if it is exposed to the media, but from the beginning, the second part of the gala was an event with many people involved. Even if Lee Jae-heon foolishly gives his tail, all the attendees will come forward and try to put an end to it, so it is convenient for this party to clean up the situation.

“....”

“....”

I made eye contact with the child who was rustling inside the coat.

“peekaboo.”

Jang Seo-ah laughed at the words that came out without thinking. When I saw the cheeks that were as pale as porcelain begin to glow, I felt much more at ease. The modern man’s conscience was still numb, but the logic of his past life was blocking the pain well. It was fortunate.

Jaeheon Lee, who was playing with the wriggling child while holding his hand, then asked.

“Do you think it would be too much to bring in a child now?”

“I’m sorry, but that might be difficult. If it is officially registered in the family register, there is a high chance of it being exposed to the media, and above all, there is a high chance that there will be trouble with the child’s parents. Even if you sign an exclusive contract, the industry will not welcome public adoption.”

“It’s from the industry...”

he asked without taking his eyes off the child.

“Jung Eun-woo, you know more about this industry than I thought.”

“Because it’s my job too.”

“Wasn’t your job your first sister’s secretary?”

“That is true, but we also act as an intermediary with the industry you know.”

“aha.”

Lee Jae-heon recited.

“I didn’t know this party had reached that far.”

“As you know, from the manager’s father...”

“That’s right, that guy doesn’t have clean hands either. “I know very well.”

His father was a private moneylender, and he went through a series of troubles when he married his mother, the daughter of Lee Dang. There was no way that the essence could have been changed by laundering, which was just a business strategy. There is no way those blood-smelling tendencies will go anywhere. It was not strange to have ties to the industry.

‘In the first place, he is the one who runs the salmon farm to dispose of useless pieces of meat...’

Looking back on things that the young manager Kkondae did not know much about and his past life, his father really enjoyed illegal activities. Young Lee Jae-heon was just scared of his father, but now he is scared in many ways.

‘Well, it was rather strange if there wasn’t a kite.’

There is a reason why Mana made the ‘old man manager’ into the royal family.

‘I made myself like this to make it easier for managers to approach me because they are in this industry. ‘It’s a world that is difficult for ordinary people to access...’

After thinking, Lee Jae-heon asked Eun-woo Jeong once again.

“Is it like that, Chairman?”

“The stake is large. “It’s not like they run the business together, but they contribute a lot.”

“Didn’t everyone have a great time except me?”

Only stupid Lee Jae-heon knew nothing.

‘...If this happens, there is a possibility that Jaehee Lee is also a manager. ‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

What kind of kid is this?

I feel sorry for the child, but I had no intention of giving him a choice. Jang Seo-ah had to escape from her parents and come under Lee Jae-heon’s influence. It would have been much more comfortable that way, not only for the mental health of not only Lee Jae-heon but also for the other survivors’ sake and for the sake of future travel to the underworld.

I thought the house was cold, so I turned on the boiler late. It would take time for the child’s temperature to rise, so Jaeheon Lee placed the child on the sofa, took off his coat, and wrapped him around the child. I raised the corner of my mouth, finding it funny that something the size of my palm had become thicker.

“You said that. The zombie man Seo-ah knows is weak, but in reality he is strong. “I am the one who brought together all the things that adults in the world hate and fear.”

“...do not like it?”

“yes.”

A strange word typical of a child came out.

“I like you.”

“Thank you, but they probably aren’t adults.”

“I liked it...”

Lee Jae-heon answered firmly when asked about the survivors.

“They are not adults.”

“...?”

Jang Seo-ah tilted her head because she did not understand the truth of the world. It was really cute to see a thick burrito wrapped in a coat like that. If the child was as cute as that, we would praise her for being pretty and take pictures of her, but the crazy parents are participating in human trafficking.

Lee Jae-heon turned on the light on the floor and found a bottle of chocolate milk in the kitchen. I had prepared this to relieve hangovers, but I had just bought it. Why not give cold milk as is? I put it in a light cup and put it in the microwave once.

“....”

Oh, that’s right.

“Does Seo-ah like chocolate milk or just milk? Or do you like warm water with nothing in it?”

“...milk....”

“I see.”

You just prefer milk.

Fortunately, there was milk at home. I wondered if the baby would be able to digest the milk if I gave him milk on an evening like this, but I didn’t think he would sleep well. If you digest it and put it to sleep, there will be no problem. I decided to drink the heated chocolate milk myself and heated up new milk.

“Should I add honey or not?”

“...Please put it in.”

“okay.”

Add a spoonful of honey and stir the warm milk. When I brought along some freshly warmed chocolate milk, the child stretched out both hands and grabbed the milk as if he had been waiting. He was a smart kid who knew how to survive in this difficult world, taking care of his share even in an unfamiliar home.

“You have to brush your teeth and sleep.”

“huh.”

What should I wear and put to sleep?

‘I don’t have any pajamas for the kids.’

Fortunately, the Oseong employees who came last time were all grown up, so they had some clothes to wear. The problem was No Yeon-seok, who was taller than me, but the others were shorter than Lee Jae-heon, so if I gave him his clothes, they would fit roughly. However, there were no clothes for children as big as Jang Seo-ah.

‘But I can’t let him sleep in those clothes.’

The current time is 1:49 AM.

All store doors would have been closed. There’s nothing you can’t do if you want to use your power, but if you go that far, you’ll both get tired.

“...I’ll turn on the TV, so just watch it for a moment.”

“yes.”

While the TV was on, I rummaged around the room and finally found a small pajama top. I felt like I could wear it like a one-piece pajamas because there was still some room left in it. I was worried that I might fall because of the length, but it’s something that Lee Jae-heon can take care of. I thought it would at least be better than that lace dress.

As I brought in various things, such as a new toothbrush and hair band, the child blinked.

“Not sleepy?”

“yes.”

“Then let’s change clothes. Can you put them on by yourself?”

“there is.”

“If you need help, just tell me...”

“Mister Zombie.”

“huh.”

The child said, holding an empty glass that had already emptied all the milk.

“I want to live here.”

“....”

He was a smart kid.

“...okay.”

I’m glad you knew how to run away.

thank god.
