Chapter 120. Escape
Han Taesu had been trying to tempt me, offering plausible comfort along with the rewards of Food Supplies and women.
They had been waiting, intending to recruit me into their faction.
“…and even L Mart. The Ark will be a comfortable haven where you can rest easy. However, sometimes there are those who become complacent in the Ark’s comfort and harbor wicked thoughts. The Enforcers patrol the Ark, judging such heretics. It is a holy and glorious mission. And now, just as I stand before Kim Taesik, we also extend a hand to those who walk a thorny path alone. As the Messiah has said…”
He had been rambling on by himself for ten minutes already.
His lengthy speech suddenly made me feel like I was wasting time.
What would happen if I didn’t give him the answer he wanted here?
*Would they really just let Euna and me go?*
It didn’t seem likely they would open the path as promised and say, “It’s a shame, but there’s nothing we can do…”
They’d probably just declare us heretics without question.
Watching the large shadow slowly move since earlier, I grew more certain of that thought.
This was their territory, and they outnumbered us.
Plus, I knew nothing about their Abilities.
*Has it reached right above us?*
The moving shadow stopped.
And just in time, the Enforcer’s speech came to an end.
“So, what do you say? Will you join us on the Ark and share our purpose?”
“That was a truly fascinating and interesting story. Life in this world has certainly been tough.”
