However, if it was Iarin, it was something that I should know.

“Wait… what do you mean by that?”

“It is literally. Inside the White Flame, there is a traitor who is in contact with Choi Jin-sung.”

Iarin asked, holding her forehead as if confused for a moment.

“How could you do that…”

“I was attacked.”

“!?”

Siyoon nodded at Iarin, who looked at him as if surprised.

“They knew everything about what happened during the fight with Kim Jun-hyeok at the time, as well as their true identity…”

There, she nodded her head for a moment, then tilted her head as if it were strange for a moment.

“My true identity…?”

At that moment, Huh, Han Iarin took a step or two back and said to him.

“Now, wait a minute. That means that who I am is already…”

“Yeah you know.”

Actually, I knew it from the beginning, but I didn’t bother to say it.

“radish···!”

As if this was more shocking than the fact that there was a traitor, her face turned red.

I had no choice but to say that the traitor was my closest aide, but the response was more radical than expected.

There, Siyoon lowered one eyebrow and asked.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, that. Now, can you give me a minute?”

“I will.”

Soon after, she turned her back on Siyoon and squatted down, covering her face with both hands as if she were going to die of embarrassment.

When I listened carefully, it seemed as if I could hear a voice saying, ‘What should I do, I must be crazy.

“That… I’m really sorry.”

“Well.”

Even though she was wearing a fox mask, she could see that even her ears were red, and she secretly glanced at him.

“Can you keep it a secret until you die?”

“until the death?”

go there? His expression became strange.

“There is such a thing as an image that has been built up over the years, but it is rare that this becomes known…”

Again, she buried her face in her hands.

“It’s social obliteration…”

Siyoon, who was standing there with his arms crossed, looked at her as if he was pitiful.

“Okay, just go around normally. Why did you do that?”

“That would be no fun!”

“You say that now.”

“If you put yourself in my position, you will know. As I received excessive attention every day, I was beeping! If you click on it, it will! Do you know the hardships of becoming a laughing vending machine…?”

Whether or not anyone cared, it was a difficult part for him, who was just my way, to relate to.

Added to that, she felt like a dead puppy.

“… It’s hard to even throw a light joke anywhere.”

“So I understand that it was necessary to deviate, but why did you insist on that… concept?”

It was Siyoon who couldn’t bear to say that it was an esoteric concept.

There she asked, looking up at him with a face that really didn’t know anything.

“…? Isn’t it cool like Iljimae?”

“…are you serious about that?”

I knew there was a lot of clumsiness in strange places, but I thought it would be this much.

“Oh, isn’t it?”

“I’ll tell you clearly right now, everything from the fox mask to the Hao Che accent.”

he said with a serious face.

“It’s downright weird.”

“Ugh.”

She shrunk as if she had been beaten in the chest, and responded as if she couldn’t lose.

“It’s not easy to wear sunglasses in the middle of the night.”

For a moment, both Lee Ah-rin and Choi Si-yoon slightly frowned.

For some reason, it was a familiar conversation.

Siyoon sighed and said.

“Well, okay. Keep it a secret until you die. There’s nowhere to talk about it anyway, and even if you say it, who will believe it?”

“Well, that’s it again.”

She got up from her seat and shook her head as if it made sense.

“My image has to be good.”

“…Have you ever heard of being unlucky anywhere?”

“Nope?”

“Then I will do it now.”

“yes?”

The other person was the daughter of the head of the Strategic Planning Office and claimed to be a savior, and he was a man who spoke his mind.

“Anyway, back to the main topic…”

Siyoon looked at Team 1, who was cleaning up the scene, and said.

“It is clear that those who attacked me were instigated by someone who knew that you were with me at the time. Not only that.”

he turned to her

“It seems that he sold the red panda to Choi Jin-seong.”

“…!”

At that, Iarin opened her eyes wide without even realizing it.

‘Then the tail of the lesser panda was caught by Choi Jin-seong…’

Isn’t it because of her fault, not because of the traitor on this side?

As she thought about it, Iarin’s face became more serious than before.

“Can anyone guess?”

Iarin pondered for a moment at his question.

‘The traitor said he knew about me.’

Those who knew that she went out to save the lesser panda that day were largely divided into three people within the White Flame.

Of course there is one, but it is Kim Seo-ah.

Of course, there was no possibility that her best friend Kim Seo-ah was a traitor, so it was an exception.

The other is Cheoljin Kim, Vice President of White Flame.

As a branch family that has been assisting Kim Seo-ah’s family for a long time, she has often taken care of Seo-ah Kim since she was young, and of course she was familiar with Lee A-rin.

‘The last one is…’

“Nam Seung-min.”

“Nam Seung-min?”

“Yes, I am the chief of security at White Flame.”

Of course, Choi Si-yoon was also a person he knew.

It was because he had been one of the closest aides who had overseen not only the head of Gangdong-gu, but also Kim Seo-ah’s escort work for a long time.

Now, as the head of White Flame’s security office, he was a man who also served as a practical commander.

“For now, that’s about it.”

“Do you know anything about a short man who is good at sword and memorization?”

When Si-yoon pretended not to know and asked her about Park Jae-joon’s impression, Ia-rin asked back.

“Why is that?”

“Because he is also a member.”

“…!”

“They were monitoring the raid. When I took the prisoner, I assassinated him and escaped.”

Irene’s eyes widened.

There was only one person in the White Flame who was short and good at memorization and swordsmanship.

“Park Jae-joon…?”

She mumbles the name in disbelief.

“No, but Jaejunie follows Seoah better than anyone else…!”

“If you don’t believe it, check his left arm when you get a chance.”

At the last moment, when the ‘Pillar of Light’ was inserted in the sky, he hadn’t been able to erase his footprints.

Judging by the depth of the footprints left at that time, Park Jae-joon’s center of gravity at the time was slightly tilted to the left.

However, considering the length of his stride, which was fairly constant for his leg injury, there was only one answer.

‘Jaejun Park injured his left arm.’

It wasn’t just the forearm, but if the center of gravity was tilted, the shoulder would have been injured.

It was probably the effect of avoiding the projected light a step later.

“You may not have fully recovered from your injuries yet.”

It would still take more time to fully recover.

At that, Iarin frowned.

“But if Jaejoon is really a traitor…”

“The vice president and the chief of security, one of them must be using Park Jae-joon as a limb.”

“Then please.”

What immediately popped into her mind was Nam Seung-min, chief of security.

It was because Park Jae-joon had been following him for a long time, and he was still active as Nam Seung-min’s closest aide.

Siyoon let out a small sigh at her guess.

“It’s still too early to be sure.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s change our position and think about it. If it was Nam Seung-min, would he recklessly use Park Jae-joon as an advance guard? It is a fact that everyone involved knows that he is one of his closest aides, isn’t it?”

“that’s···.”

“Of course, it could be Nam Seung-min. But don’t rush to confirm it, and don’t dismiss your doubts.”

No matter how much it is said that it is a company that Kim Seo-ah founded independently, it is based on her family.

“In the worst case, everyone who comes into your mind could be your enemy.”

“…!”

“So trust no one, trust only me and yourself here.”

“But then what should I do now…”

After thinking about it for a while, Siyoon muttered.

“I’ll have to put the bait.”

If the Gwangju redevelopment project goes in a bad direction for Choi Jin-seong in the future, there is a high possibility that he will try to hasten his engagement to Kim Seo-ah in order to draw on the power of Gangdong.

‘In preparation for that time, it’s good to get at least a little bit of clues about the snitch.’

It was necessary to estimate who the mastermind was, and if there were a lot of snitches, how far the devil’s powers would extend in White Flame.

“A bait?”

“yes.”

Siyoon pulled up his coat and showed the pistol in his holster.

“I don’t know who the ringleader was, but he seemed very interested in my gun.”

“Could that be the reason for the attack?”

He nodded.

“They seemed to be wondering if this gun was due to my ability or if it was a Magic gun.”

“Wait a minute, that means…”

Iarin said with a straight face.

“Are you going to throw yourself as bait now?”

“If you need.”

“That is too dangerous!”

“There is nothing to worry about. Did you see I am much stronger than you think.”

There, Iarin’s words were paused for a moment.

Surely this man in front of him hadn’t even caught Rodriguez, which was considered impossible.

‘But even so…’

Lee Ah-rin thought of the vice president and the head of the security office again.

Whoever the traitor was, these two were by no means easygoing characters.

“And, I’m thinking of getting an insurance policy.”

“…insurance?”

Si-yoon handed her the necklace Rodriguez used, ‘Makya’s Soul’, in his arms.

“This···?”

Upon realizing this, Irene’s eyes trembled.

“I have one on each side. If you pour magic into this…”

Then, the ‘Makya’s soul’ in her hand reacts weakly.

“This way, you can immediately inform the opponent of the danger.”

He hung the matching ‘sieve of soy sauce’ around his neck and hid it under his clothes.

“If any of us end up in danger because of this, let’s ask the other person for help without delay.”

“If this is for sure…”

“yes. No matter what the situation, you don’t have to fight alone.”

he added with a smile.

“Then you don’t have to be so scared.”

Iarin, who was taken aback by that, responded quickly.

“Gee, I’m scared, but someone said that.”

“No.”

“Ugh.”

But it was an undeniable fact.

No matter how much I am, it is not yet before awakening as a savior.

The fear that those who had laughed and chatted with each other up until now might actually have had a different mind.

The thought that the favors that were usually directed at Kim Seo-ah may have been hypocrisy.

In the worst case, the possibility that no one else might be on Seo-ah’s side made her afraid.

There, swallowing a handful of emotions, she opened her mouth with a trembling voice.

“In fact···. Wesley, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you for a long time.”

Right after the fight with Kim Jun-hyeok, he recalls what he said to himself.

-If you want to give the most annoying guy a shot, I’d appreciate it if you tell him to read it then.

That’s what he wanted to ask from the time he handed the note to himself to pass it on to the red panda.

He shuts his mouth at the anxious look on his face.

she asked him.

“Are you aiming for Choi Jin-seong?”

“…”

There, Siyoon answered honestly.

“yes.”

“From the beginning?”

“From the beginning.”

“Then may I ask why, why are you targeting him?”

It was a question with many implications.

Perhaps he was a resistance fighter, or could I trust him purely?

Siyoon knew that her worries and hesitations were melted in each and every word.

If even that was impure, it was because she was really alone.

There he murmured.

“The reason Choi Jin-seong is aiming…”

Even now, whenever I forget, I look at the message that appears in front of him.

[Priority goal: Must survive.]

At first, it was just new content, he was the first to do it.

There were times when I was excited about how much fun it would be to climb from the bottom to the top.

And to be honest, if I said that I still don’t have that kind of heart, that would be a lie.

Even now, he is crazy about achievements, and his heart races when unknown inside stories appear.

But if someone asked if that was all, he didn’t seem to be able to answer easily.

It reminds me of the various relationships he has made so far and the emotions he has felt from them.

Even in the midst of deteriorating health, the face of Baek Ha-yul, who was selling laughter for his only son, flashed in my mind.

However, Siyoon soon stopped talking. And then he answered as if he was looking around her.

“To survive.”

“Yes?”

“To survive, that’s all.”

He did not know how she took that answer.

However, after pondering his words for a while, Ian muttered.

“okay···.”

I suddenly thought that he might also be a person who suffered for a long time because of Choi Jin-seong.

Like his friend Seo-ah.

If you see how obsessed with Choi Jin-seong, maybe it’s because of revenge.

At the hands of Choi Jin-seong, there were as many as stars who lost their families and lovers and even had their identities erased.

Maybe that’s why he couldn’t take off his sunglasses at the end.

‘I’m not sure, but.’

It was a short time, but I recall the images he showed.

Even though there would have been an easier way, the way I even shaved my body for a woman I didn’t know.

At least she didn’t think it was a lie.

After making up her mind, Irene raised her head.

“I know. If either side is in danger, they call to this necklace without hesitation. Right?”

“yes.”

There she held out her hand.

“…?”

Iarin said in his gaze as if asking what it was.

“Give me. cell phone. But shouldn’t we at least know each other’s contact information?”

He let out a small sigh and held out his phone to her.

“No way, but giving out a number in your name…”

“It’s in my name, but it’s securely secured.”

She almost took Siyoon’s cell phone and dialed my number.

Then he gave him the phone number and said.

“From now on, whenever I find out something, let me know by text.”

“It is.”

At that time, team leader Ko, who was cleaning up the scene, rushed to them.

“I’m sorry we were talking.”

“It’s fine. Because it’s over now.”

“I’m glad.”

He said, showing the contact on his cell phone.

“Wesley, of course you were right.”

“Is it a gate?”

Nodding his head, he continued.

“A new gate has appeared on the Yangpyeong side. Tomorrow night, a large-scale wave will hit Yangpyeong.”

But that wasn’t the end.

“The problem is, I don’t think this will be an ordinary large wave.”

he said with a serious expression.

“According to the observatory… it seems that a large-scale wave that surpasses the existing wave is likely to occur.”

Hearing that, Arin’s face hardened.

The Yangpyeong area is currently the entire Namyangju area.

In other words, it was the sound that only Dongnam Construction had to handle that amount of waves.

However, Siyoon was not taken aback.

Because he had already anticipated this situation.

Originally, this wave would cause Namyangju to suffer a fatal blow, and eventually provide a decisive opportunity to withdraw from the Gwangju business in the future.

‘I can’t leave it like that.’

As long as he was at Dongnam Construction, it would be different this time.
