Chapter 91
I pulled Eun Woojeong’s coat over Cha Sahyeon’s head to hide her face, then held her tightly in my arms.
"Try not to show your face, okay?"
"Mm-hmm."
Even as I gave her the warning, the unease in my chest refused to settle.
I had no idea how to resolve this situation. I swallowed dryly, feeling the warmth of Cha Sahyeon’s body seep into me as she clung to my chest.
Once the reinforcements arrive, I’ll group up with them... then find a place to hide and activate the Hidden Skill—no, wait. What about the kid?
There was no way I could leave Sahyeon alone in a chaotic place like this.
And wasn’t Kwak Seunggyu nearby too? For all I knew, there could be even more lab-related scum around that neither I nor Kwon Taehyuk had identified yet. The more I thought back to Kwak’s expression right before the rift broke open, the more suspicious it seemed.
If it really was Kwak Seunggyu who created the rift...
Whether it was technically possible or not was beside the point—someone planning to cause a disaster of this scale wouldn’t be acting alone. There had to be someone protecting Kwak Seunggyu, especially since he wasn’t even Awakened.
Leaving Cha Sahyeon behind now would be far too dangerous. At the very least, I needed someone strong enough to protect her before I could move.
Nothing’s going the way I need it to.
