Chapter 52. Preparation
Thud, thud.
“Greetings. We’ve come to speak with you for a moment. We’ll be entering, so please don’t attack.”
Before Seonyoung could even respond, the door swung open, and the men stepped inside.
*What were they thinking, announcing their entry like that? What if we had attacked them mindlessly? Were they that confident?*
“Stop. Halt right there. Any closer, and we’ll consider it an attack.”
“Oh… she’s pretty, that woman.”
“Shhh. Everyone, quiet down and stay put. You’re making them wary.”
Four men entered the billiard hall entrance, one after another. As one of them quietly mumbled about Seonyoung’s appearance, the man who seemed to be their leader silenced the others and made them stop.
The man at the very front appeared to be in his mid-to-late twenties. He had a pale face, wore thin silver-rimmed glasses, and was dressed impeccably in a white shirt and black slacks. His pristine white shirt showed not a single bloodstain, and he was so spotless from head to toe that it actually made me more suspicious.
*It wasn’t because he was as handsome as a gigolo that I was wary, absolutely not.*
Sniff, sniff.
Amidst the sweet scent of spilled drinks covering the floor, I detected a strange, peculiar smell. The smell intensified as the man raised an arm and spoke to Seonyoung.
*Could it be… perfume?*
“Please, calm down for a moment. My name is Lee Jaehyeon, and I lead the Purugia Alliance. Our alliance is dedicated to gathering people and combining our strengths to ensure survival. We haven’t come with ill intentions.”
