“What are you doing, Jihoo is waiting.”

Anna glances at the chair.

Dae-eun looks at the sight with a bewildered expression.

But soon he had no choice but to sit down on the chair as she said.

Because Anna was right next to her son.

“Have you been waiting for a long time? I’ll have dinner ready soon.”

Dae-eun’s wife heads to the kitchen as if she had been waiting for him.

And they brought out the bulgogi and stew that we had prepared in advance.

Anna stares at the food.

Dae-eun looks at her with a look that makes her wonder if she would eat that.

Because Anna is more unfamiliar with Korean food than anyone else.

but…

Anna picked up the spoon naturally.

And he ate the stew his wife made with relish, running his fingers through his hair.

“There’s rice paste here.”

He is so relaxed that he even wipes the rice cake off Ji-hoo’s cheek.

Ji-hoo, who doesn’t know his father’s true circumstances, bows his head and expresses his gratitude.

Dae-eun couldn’t eat at all as he stared at that sight.

Looking at him like that, his wife asks.

“You’re not eating well today? Is it not to your taste?”

“Oh, no. I’m a little tired today…”

The husband shook his head.

And somehow, I keep trying hard to eat.

But his hands, which had been moving busily, suddenly stopped again.

“That’s right, there was a protest in front of the association today, right? That must have been a difficult time for you.”

“Protests, well… they happen all the time.”

Dae-eun glances up and checks Anna’s expression.

She soon put down her spoon and stared at his wife.

“This protest was quite large. There were organized gangsters, academy professors, and students… I’ve never seen them together before.”

A collaboration between the academy and the organization.

It’s definitely an odd combination.

Because it’s like high school students and gangsters sleeping together.

But the most incongruous thing here would be… Anna sitting at his house and even eating with him.

Because she’s a monster who can kill everyone with the chopsticks she’s holding right now.

Of course, Dae-eun can definitely stop this.

But right now, there are two people in this space who are precious to him.

No matter how strong Dae-eun is, can he protect both of them at the same time?

And Anna would know that fact better than anyone else.

“One of the association’s members kidnapped a civilian.”

Anna answers in place of the silent Dae-eun.

Then, the wife’s expression becomes serious as if she is shocked.

“Oh my god… why?”

“Well… I heard that they kidnap people and extract their abilities… I guess that’s the case for the kidnapped people too.”

Anna soon meets Dae-eun’s eyes.

Her white, empty eyes collide with Dae-eun’s quivering black ones.

“Stealing other people’s abilities… That’s too much. Satisfying your own selfish desires like that.”

“Probably, he won’t be the only one using the stolen abilities.”

“Is that so?”

“I’ll sell it. To someone who needs my skills.”

It was the moment I heard those words.

Dae-eun put down the spoon she was holding so hard that a loud sound was heard.

Thanks to that, his wife was able to take her eyes off Anna.

“Wisdom.”

“Huh?”

“Could you please bring me some fruit for dessert? There’s a Shine Muscat on the veranda.”

Dae-eun muttered with a trembling voice.

Then his wife Jihye said she understood and got up from her seat.

“Jihoo, you go to your room for a moment too.”

The father forces a smile and asks his son.

Then, Ji-hoo, although he didn’t feel like it, noticed the somewhat heavy atmosphere and leisurely left the room.

He waved to Anna as he left.

Anna also waves her hand absentmindedly in response.

“What a wonderful father.”

Anna muttered as she looked back at the two people who had left.

Then Dae-eun took a deep breath.

“Haa…”

His eyes returned to the appearance of a ranker and a police captain.

Dae-eun’s sharp eyes stare piercingly at Anna.

“So how on earth did you find out about this place?”

“How so? It’s already been 3 years since we’ve been chasing each other. It’s just a house address.”

“What, have you grown attached to me?”

Dae-eun explodes at Anna’s relaxed appearance.

But soon he managed to smile as he looked at his wife who had brought out the fruit.

“Thank you.”

Wisdom smiled faintly.

And then he follows her into her room to leisurely see his son Ji-hoo.

“Family is a wonderful, yet heavy existence. Isn’t it?”

“…”

Her words sound almost like a threat.

Dae-eun’s face quickly became haggard as if crushed by the weight.

“Don’t drag it out like it’s not your style.”

“Not like me?”

“You’re the type of person who solves whatever you want right away.”

“That’s right.”

Anna looks at the family photo.

The three people inside were smiling brightly.

“But, I also have something similar to a family like you.”

“You…?”

Dae-eun’s eyebrows twitch.

Then Anna slightly raised the corners of her lips.

“Yeah. Thanks to that, I think I understand your feelings a little bit.”

“Ha…”

Dae-eun grabbed the tie he was wearing as if he was dumbfounded.

I loosened the fasteners a bit because I felt stuffy.

“Rep. Park is looking for the kidnapped Siho.”

Anna didn’t even pick up the fruit.

I just stare blankly at Dae-eun.

“What on earth does that have to do with me?”

The chief of police responds with a serious face.

But that face didn’t last long and eventually collapsed.

“You know where Rep. Park is.”

“Me…?”

“Don’t even think about evading it. I already knew everything.”

An educational video can be heard playing in Ji-hoo’s room.

The child inside the machine says ‘Family’ in a bright voice.

For a moment, silence filled the kitchen after seeing the word “Family.”

“I know Park Shin-ae, but that doesn’t mean I know her hidden location.”

“Rep. Park was hiding. He wasn’t on sick leave.”

Anna dug into him as if she had been waiting for it.

Dae-eun, who had ended up confessing on her own, tightly shuts her eyes.

“Haa…”

“Tell me everything you know.”

Dae-eun clasped her hands together and rested her chin on them.

He seems reluctant to answer.

“Just because I played with Jihoo at the amusement park doesn’t mean I’m your friend, right?”

Anna’s last consideration.

And Anna’s kind yet cold threat that arose emotions.

Those words finally made Dae-eun open her mouth.

“Receiving a dose of medicine from one of her followers…”

Anna stares intently at Dae-eun who has confessed.

She asks him again with cold eyes.

“When do you expect to receive it again?”

“1 week later.”

“It’s too late then. Who knew something would happen to Siho in the meantime.”

Anna shook her head firmly.

She picks up a grape and shows it to Dae-eun, holding it with her index finger.

“Push forward the date so that I can receive it by tomorrow.”

“In this situation, you would definitely be suspicious, right?”

“That’s none of my business.”

Anna gets up from her chair.

And he put on a black mask.

Dae-eun looks at the sight with an expression of incomprehension.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

“…”

“What does that kid mean to you..?”

Anna did not readily respond to his words.

Instead, before leaving, I stared blankly at Ji-hoo’s room, which was tightly closed.

“I’m just trying to protect my family like you.”

Anna left those words and opened the front door.

And he closed the door carefully, as if he were considerate of his family.

Dae-eun stares blankly at the closed door.

The next day.

Eventually, the association issues a first-class wanted notice for Rep. Park Shin-ae.

And a large-scale internal investigation was also launched.

Only after hearing that news did Ilsim begin to withdraw.

“I’m sorry, Team Leader Han. There’s nothing I can do for you right now…”

Hwangsa tries hard to apologize to Jeoksa.

But she patted the Hwangsa man on the shoulder and encouraged him, saying that he was grateful enough for even trying this hard.

Thanks to that, wasn’t it possible to issue an arrest warrant through the media?

The same goes for Vice President Choi Na-hyun.

He led a large army and built a camp in front of the enemy, but there were no noticeable results.

It’s already been a day since Siho disappeared.

The enemy spent every hour anxiously, unable to sleep properly.

The same goes for the index.

She stayed by the enemy’s side and listened to the story of what kind of person Siho was.

“He was a strange child.”

A child who takes care of others even in situations where he might die.

A child who tried to understand the other person’s situation as much as possible, even when the other person showed hostility.

“Maybe that’s why it turned out like this.”

Jisoo pursed her lips tightly.

Even though he saw himself trapped in the lab, was he the only one who saved him because of that feeling?

It’s hard to understand.

No matter how kind a person is, is it easy to sacrifice oneself to save someone?

What about someone you don’t know?

Jisoo shook her head and helped disperse the protest.

Now there is only one clue.

She obviously knew about Dohyun.

If you rescue Siho, you must ask about his relationship with her.

Then, you will naturally come to know why he went to such great lengths to rescue you.

Finally, preparations for disbandment were completed.

The members of Ilsim’s organization each got into their cars and started the engines.

The same was true for the enemy and the index.

They all tried to get into the vice president’s car.

But soon they found themselves unable to close the open car doors.

Because, the moment they were about to leave, Anna appeared in front of them.

“Anna…?”

The enemy got out of the car and asked.

Jisoo is also frightened by her unusual face.

A look that is both beautiful and life-like.

I swallowed deeply at the heterogeneous appearance.

“There is a way to find the poem.”

“Really?”

At her words, the vice president who was riding in the car also hurriedly got out.

The executives of Ilsim listen to her words.

“One week later. When Lee Dae-eun meets Rep. Park’s subordinate, she captures him.”

“Where is the meeting place?”

“A golf course in Anyang, transactions are conducted in the backyard.”

The enemy put his mouth on the back of his hand.

And he seemed lost in thought, as if he was planning a capture.

“We have to do this secretly with as few people as possible…”

“That would be good.”

Anna agrees with her words.

“Please include me too.”

Jisoo comes in between.

She speaks confidently to the two rankers.

“The reason Siho was captured is all because of me. Please give me a chance to rescue him.”

“Who are you?”

Anna tilts her head at the sight of Jisoo, whom she is seeing for the first time in her life.

Then the enemy told her who Jisoo was.

But maybe that was a mistake.

Anna’s eyebrows quirked as if she was uncomfortable with the fact that Jisoo had risked her life to save her.

“Who are you…”

“That’s not what’s important right now. It’s not too late to hear their story after the rescue.”

The enemy mediates an atmosphere that could become serious.

She was also curious about the relationship between Jisoo and Siho, but only Siho knew the details.

So, it won’t be too late to hear it after the rescue.

“Mr. Jisoo said flame test, right?”

Na-Hyeon asks while watching the three people about to leave together.

Then Jisoo nodded her head sheepishly.

“Then, take this.”

The vice president of Ilsim handed over his longsword to Jisoo.

Jisoo, who accepted it without thinking, quickly shook her head.

“How can I do this…”

“That’s right, Vice President. Isn’t that your favorite sword?”

The enemy also hurriedly stopped Na-hyeon.

But she just smiled and shook her head.

“Since ancient times, isn’t a sword meant to cut something?”

Soon her laughter died down.

Instead, a fierce green eye flashes.

“So take it and cut whatever you want.”

Those green eyes are as creepy as a snake.

Indeed, she was the leader of a group called Ilsim and the master of four snakes.

“Show them what happens when you mess with our people.”
