Chapter 118
Hearing what I said, Eun Woojeong showed no reaction other than a slight tightening of his shoulders.
Since he was still wearing the mask, I couldn’t see his expression, which was a shame. I didn’t take my eyes off him as I organized my thoughts.
The two things Eun Woojeong wanted were, in the end, both tied to information about Cover. And the counter I had prepared was information about Eun Woojeong himself.
Cover’s information and Eun Woojeong’s information.
Weighing the two on a scale to determine which was more valuable, I chose to protect Cover’s.
Both were undeniably pieces of intel that could shift the balance. But if I revealed Cover’s info, there was a high chance it would interfere with my future activities.
If one side carried a heavier penalty, it only made sense to choose the other. And the fact that I could flip Eun Woojeong’s shitty terms and turn them into blackmail was a bonus I quite liked.
It’d be a lie to say I don’t feel a little regret...
But who knows when another situation this urgent and critical will come around?
Isn’t that exactly why I’ve been holding onto this intel in the first place? Hoarding it until it expires would just turn it into rot.
If I could get Cha Sahyeon’s location in exchange, it wasn’t a bad trade.
Besides, it’s not even a one-time-use piece of information.
