People are more likely to crave what they do not have.

So what do I want so badly?

What do you long for and yearn for so much?

“Is it right for a slave to act as his master pleases? Huh?”

In my own way, I feel angry at her for caring for me.

I don’t know either.

Maybe the people themselves are important.

Because there was no one by my side since I was born.

I have let go of so many people while living as a hunter.

Now, those moments that I thought were nothing may have piled up one after another to make me who I am today.

I don’t like it.

A sacrifice made for me.

Not sublime at all.

Arbitrary dedication that does not reflect my intentions at all.

I feel bad.

My guess is that no one will be able to deal with this being.

All of this unpleasantness is directed towards her.

And she is.

“Jeez, please… ♥”

I’m smiling.

As if I couldn’t help but be happy about my anger and anger.

The female’s face is completely rusty and tattered, feeling my cruel touch.

Such a perverted bitch.

With his other hand, he manipulates magical power to release the chains that are binding her.

Clang!

Cheaeng!

Chains that fall from rainwater trees and disappear without a trace.

Eventually, she regained her freedom and naturally tried to kneel in front of me, but then stopped.

Even though his father tried to make him a scapegoat, he seems to be worried because he is still his father.

I reach out my hand and grab her head, which is still standing still, and gently press it.

I feel embarrassment from the eyes I meet.

I tell her that.

“If you did something wrong, you should get down on your knees and pray.”

“Ah… … .”

Lim Na-eun resists for a moment.

Looking at his eyes moving here and there, he seems to be in deep thought.

Are you saving face?

Do you obey?

The worries didn’t last long.

“Sorry, sorry. Please punish this ugly slave until your anger goes away, master… ♥”

Lim Na-eun obeys my touch, kneels obediently and speaks as if pleading.

okay.

This is how I behave as my slave.

Worrying was a luxury.

The heartless father who tried to sacrifice himself and the master who came to this dangerous place to save him.

It’s obvious which one to choose between the two, right?

“Me, Naeun-ah… .”

However, I think my father was quite shocked.

I saw him frozen with his mouth wide open.

In front of him, he brushes the side of Naeun’s hair as if to show off and asks.

“You seem surprised?”

Head spinning.

Eyes filled with subtle anger turn towards me.

“Alternative… , what does that look like?”

What does it look like?

“It’s just as you see.”

Naeun fawns and rubs her head against her thigh to show me off.

I pulled the guy’s head closer to me and continued talking.

“Naeun, you are my slave. But don’t get me wrong? I didn’t force it, it was because I wanted to.”

“What kind of nonsense is that? !”

“Well, ”

Leaving Chairman Lim behind, he pats Naeun’s head and opens his mouth.

“Now, Naeun. Say it with your own mouth.”

“Yes, master.”

Lim Na-eun slowly gets up.

Then, as if showing off, he folds his arms around mine and speaks to his father.

“Master, you are right, father. I became a slave because I wanted to.”

“So why on earth are you…? !”

“Why?”

Naeun’s eyes turn cold.

I can’t even believe it’s being sent to my father.

“Me, Naeun-ah… .”

Chairman Lim is embarrassed to see this.

A voice as cool as his eyes pours out towards him.

“I wanted to be loved. But neither my father nor anyone in this family gave me what I wanted.”

“… … .”

“All I received from my family was oppression, surveillance, and coercion. And there was always an emphasis on sacrifice.”

His head falling down helplessly.

Despite looking quite pitiful, Naeun’s harsh criticism did not stop.

no.

“At first, I thought that was normal. Because I lived more prosperously and comfortably than others. I thought that I had to pay the price.”

It got even stronger.

“But… , yes, that was only a half understanding. I understood it with my head, but it was hard to understand with my heart. Isn’t it a parent’s job to provide support so that their daughter can grow up well? Why would you say something like that when you still don’t know anything? I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”

Just as a small wave slowly expands and becomes a huge tsunami.

“I received a lot of material things, but it never felt like love. So I always wanted it. Someone’s love.”

Why did he have no choice but to become like this?

He clearly pours out his miserable feelings at that time, making Chairman Lim’s heart sink.

“I wanted to be completely loved. Even if I give it my all, even if I give up on being human… ! I wanted to surrender myself to a complete love that does not require any price or sacrifice.”

I can feel Naeun’s body gradually gaining strength as he wraps his arms around me.

Eventually, I felt a gentle tremor.

Lim Na-eun, with red eyes, utters her last words, letting out the residual breath that was stuck in her lungs like debris.

“Dojin here, no, the owner made that wish come true. You always loved me. Either day or night. Either outside or inside. Anytime, anywhere.”

The guy who wipes away the tears that are on the verge of falling.

“So, no matter what I do, don’t interfere. Because I’m happier now than I’ve ever been.”

Chairman Lim did not say anything.

No, I guess it’s correct to say that I couldn’t do it.

After all, it was natural.

It may be because of deals and coercion passed down from previous generations, but isn’t it true that he tried to sacrifice his daughter?

Because of that, what can I say to my daughter who was on the verge of death but was barely saved?

Chairman Lim cannot raise his head in despair.

It is probably the most painful moment in the world.

He committed something he shouldn’t have done to his own daughter and was criticized for it.

It would be a pain that even I, who doesn’t blink at most things, could bear.

So I was curious.

“Chairman.”

“… … .”

“Do you remember? The story we shared while coming here.”

He promised.

He says he will make everything right if Naeun is saved.

He said that he would offer everything he had obtained by offering sacrifices to Dantalion to his daughter, who was forced to make sacrifices.

Is it still valid now?

Even now, after being criticized so cruelly by my daughter?

He raises his head and nods, hiding the bitterness on his grave face.

“… Of course. I have no intention of breaking my promise.”

His gaze moves to Naeun.

“Should we call it atonement? , Should I call it compensation? .”

He smiled bitterly and continued speaking.

“From now on, all property belonging to our family is yours, Naeun.”

“… … !”

Naeun’s eyes widen.

“… What is that?”

“Before I came here, I made a promise with Hunter Dojin Kim. If he saves your life, I will make everything right.”

Naeun’s gaze asks me.

Now, is that true?

I nod.

“That’s right. I promised that to Chairman Lim.”

“Really… , Is it okay to do whatever I want?”

This guy is asking me that.

What belongs to the slave belongs to the master.

This is a golden opportunity to eat up the entire Mirae Group, but is he really allowed to do as he pleases?

I nod.

“Do whatever you want.”

It would be a lie if I said it wasn’t a waste.

I said I’m not concerned about money, but isn’t money the same thing in the first place?

Give your company to me.

All I had to do was say that and it would be over, but I didn’t want to do that.

I just hope that this guy’s resentment that has been building up for a long time will be relieved at least a little.

When I gave permission, he smiled happily and then looked at his father with an expressionless face.

“I don’t want to pay attention to complicated things. I’m just happy if I can serve my master. So, let your father continue to lead the family. You can take the next position as you wish.”

Chairman Lim’s eyes widen as if torn.

I’m equally surprised.

“… Are you saying you won’t receive the family’s property?”

“No.”

Lim Na-eun shakes her head resolutely, as if that’s not the case.

So what are you trying to say?

While I was wondering, the guy continued talking.

“Please help my master with the money you earn. You must get whatever your master wants, and do whatever he wants.”

Chairman Lim’s complexion darkens in an instant.

“That means… .”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Naeun nodded and continued speaking with a hint of madness.

“From now on, our entire family will serve you, master.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

and.

I didn’t expect this either.

So, what is it?

The idea is to leave all complicated matters, such as running a company, to others, and focus only on profit.

she urges.

“If you don’t think you can do it, tell me now.”

A very cold tone of voice.

Chairman Lim, who was contemplating, slowly shook his head.

“… I will do as you wish.”

He said it earlier.

If possible, even if I were to hand over all my assets, I would like to leave enough for the rest of my family to survive.

Chairman Lim seems to have decided that the current proposal is that opportunity.

Naeun, or more accurately, I, took over the entire company, but if he had management rights, he would be able to feed his family.

Just when I thought that things were going well as both parties’ interests aligned.

“Oh, and one more thing.”

“… … ?”

Naeun adds one condition.

“From now on, Mirae Group must be number one in the Korean business community.”

“… That is.”

“Never lower the value of the company. It’s all our master’s.”

What this means is that the company’s value, which was achieved through sacrifice, must now be protected by one’s own efforts.

It’s a double-edged sword.

It could be a one-time opportunity for atonement, or it could be revenge to make them suffer.

It’s so close to impossible.

After pondering for a moment, Chairman Lim quickly accepted the proposal by nodding his head.

“… Give it a try.”

He seems to have made up his mind.

I decided to walk down the thorny path.

I hope that the end will be some kind of atonement.

Well, it didn’t matter to me.

Either atonement or revenge.

If you like our slave, that’s fine.

When I looked down, Naeun said, ‘I did well, master?’ He is looking up with an expression.

I stroke the guy’s head and whisper into his ear.

“… … .”

Reddening face.

Soon, Naeun’s eyes turn to Chairman Lim.

“… Please give me just one room first. A spacious, well-soundproof place.”

Now it is time to punish the slave who behaved as he pleases.
