Thanks to the support of Tang Cheong-pung, who was prepared to sacrifice himself, and the activities of Su-hyeon and Ha-young, who literally sacrificed themselves, they succeeded in recapturing the control room, and Helena, encouraged by this fact, achieved a kind of awakening, and the atmosphere in the terminal was clearly that of the Magic Tower Alliance. It was transferred to the Sacheon Group alliance.

Although there was still an unprecedented enemy that could not be eliminated and a group of dark wizards guarding the area near the magic circle, reinforcements were scheduled to join the alliance.

As the atmosphere gradually began to flow in a direction favorable to Su-hyeon and his companions… Dang So-so, who was suddenly left alone in the terminal in New Chengdo City, was feeling an indescribably terrible feeling.

From her perspective, she had no choice but to do so.

That’s right… because it was the first time since then.

This is why I feel so helpless.

Just a little while ago, it was possible to support Soo-hyeon, who might be on the other side, through the magic circle… but what had been a source of comfort in that way was cut off.

I don’t know if there was a problem with the magic circle on this side or if the other side used some kind of trick to cut it off, but it was like that.

And after the role disappeared in an instant like that, an epiphany came so suddenly that it could be said to be out of nowhere.

At this moment she was alone.

There were a lot of people around, but I don’t know if they were all busy or because they were outsiders, but none of the people walking around spoke to her.

Thanks to this, not only was I alone… but I also had nothing to do.

To be precise, there was nothing that could be done.

Until just now, she was at least performing the role of throwing smoke bombs and the like at the right time to keep in check the warlocks who might be holding out beyond the magic circle, and to support Soo-hyeon and her group. Now that even that role has been taken away by external factors, she just does it. Because it was nothing more than a burden to worry about.

And even while she is standing there doing nothing like now… On the other side of the magic circle, i.e. in Hanoi, Su-hyeon, Ha-young, and their eldest brother are engaged in a fierce battle against the so-called black magicians.

A feeling of helplessness came over her at the thought that this would definitely be the case.

It had no choice but to be like that.

All she could do right now was imagine how those who had crossed over to the other side were fighting, but usually such imaginations tended to be negative.

Since Helena, the head mage of the Magic Tower, and her eldest brother, one of the most expert members in the family, accompanied her, the actual possibility of that happening is very low… but what if, just in case, there is a being lurking in Hanoi that they can’t do anything about?

So… what if Soo-hyeon’s life may be in danger?

I wanted to imagine something positive, but my mind was always like a tree frog, and the scenery I pictured in my head always ended up in a negative direction.

So… I felt like I was going crazy.

Even if Soo-hyeon’s life was really in danger as she imagined in her head, there was nothing she could do.

That fact, a fact she didn’t want to admit but had no choice but to admit, gave her a terrible sense of helplessness.

‘This feeling…’

I never wanted to feel that again…

So I tried.

In order not to remain helpless, she diligently studied martial arts and jumped into the competition for succession with her brothers, even though she knew she had little chance of winning.

At the same time, I tried not to create something precious.

Because I thought that having a precious being or giving affection to someone was no different from creating a weakness that the enemy would like with her own hands.

I didn’t want to do that.

I didn’t want to leave any room for attack.

I didn’t know that if I had someone special, I might once again feel the helplessness I felt when I was young.

So, I consciously stayed away from giving affection to anyone and was careful…

‘Strange human…’

Yes, that was my first impression.

One day, she suddenly came out and became a player in a secret arena located underground in Kowloon City, and literally destroyed the debut stage of a new drug that she had ambitiously prepared.

Now that I think about it again, it was a fight that Hayoung could never lose, but the man won without even looking like he was struggling.

Then, he started playing with Hayoung, who he had obtained as a trophy, as he pleased.

Aside from being friends, Hayoung was a very important business partner to her, and even more so if you broaden the scope and look at it as a family.

Whatever the real reason, Hayoung was a ‘guest’ sent to her family by the Paeng family.

But that customer’s new identity was transferred to someone else?

As soon as the Paeng family, which Hayoung originally belonged to, found out about this, not only would they protest, but the reputation of the family could also be tarnished as they were said to be a family that could not properly take care of its customers.

As she had already started competing with her brothers at a relatively disadvantage, she wanted to avoid at all costs the burden of a further penalty.

So… I went looking for it.

I already knew that he was an undesirable piece of trash who only thought of women as toys, but even so, I decided to take the step myself.

This was because there was no other method at the time.

And after seeing all kinds of things at the place I visited like that… I ended up making a contract with that man.

She provides Su-hyeon with a stable identity, and Su-hyeon provides her with Ha-yeong’s recruits and his military power.

Now that I think about it, it was a contract she lost in one way or another, but at the time, there really was nothing she could do.

If you were to remain indifferent and say you didn’t like the conditions while your competitors were watching you with wide eyes, you could end up in a situation worse than staring at the roof of a dog chasing a chicken.

So I signed a contract… and thanks to this, I unexpectedly ended up living with a man for the first time in my life… but surprisingly, it wasn’t that bad.

Unlike the violent and cruel appearance he showed during the negotiation, Su-hyeon surprisingly showed his normal self.

Of course… the mandatory skinship every morning or night was a bit burdensome for one reason or another… but I felt like I didn’t have to act like I was a stranger.

So I thought it wasn’t that bad at least… but in the meantime, ‘that thing’ happened.

When Su-hyeon said that he was interested in magic, he searched for a tutor and placed her under his wing, but without even telling her, Su-hyeon succeeded in the crazy act of learning magic even though he was a martial artist.

At that moment, regardless of the feelings she had toward Su-hyeon, Su-hyeon’s value could not help but register an overwhelming upward trend within her.

···I became greedy.

I thought that if I could just uncover the secret that Su-hyeon was holding, it wouldn’t be a problem to overthrow her brothers in the succession competition for the position of chairman of the Sacheon Group.

And as the time we spent together gradually grew longer, the person named Yoon Soo-hyun itself seemed to be not that bad.

Her fiancé was definitely her, but I didn’t like the fact that she was always hanging out with her friend Ha-young, but unlike the person she showed in the secret arena, she was still a person who knew how to be considerate of others.

So… he scrapped the original plan and headed to New Castle City to get permission from his father with the intention of completely tying Su-hyeon by her side.

I may have let my guard down because I thought that if I continued like this, I might be able to win a fight that I thought was impossible.

There was an attack on her life.

This was unexpected because the place was a place.

Thanks to this, I couldn’t even move from my seat… when I made eye contact with Suhyun, who was sitting next to me.

He looks like he’s getting ready to jump out of the car at any moment.

The moment that scene came into view, she thought that Soo-hyeon was going to jump out of the car.

Isn’t this a natural thing?

No matter how fiancé I am, there is nothing more precious than my life.

Everyone is given only one life, and that is why life is something that cannot be exchanged for anything.

So even if Soo-hyeon jumped out of the car, I didn’t have any intention of blaming him or anything…

He didn’t.

Instead of continuing what he had originally planned to do, he turned around and wrapped his body around her.

The only hesitation revealed in the process was biting my lip once.

And as a result of Su-hyeon throwing herself like that… Despite the sudden and unexpected attack, she was fine except for a few abrasions.

···Suhyeon wasn’t like that.

Perhaps… Su-hyeon wouldn’t even know in his dreams.

How serious was his physical condition when he was just taken to the hospital?

Of course you don’t know.

Because she kept me completely silent.

I thought that if Soo-hyeon found out about it, she might stay away from her, so I strictly disciplined the doctors and nurses not to talk about it.

Soo-hyeon probably had no idea how far her body had gone or how serious it was… but she did know.

Therefore, I naturally wanted to stop Soo-hyeon from heading to Hanoi.

But I couldn’t do that.

This was the price of not being able to stop it.

Being left alone and shaking with helplessness.

As I trembled in the helplessness surrounding me, I thought…

I don’t think it can go on like this.

It can’t go on like this.
