Chapter 858: Emergence of a Strong Enemy (4)
Just as Min Gyu-Ri swung her prop sword in a threatening arc, Yoo-Jin responded as if she had been waiting for it and swiftly slashed her sword upward.
Pop.
Min Gyu-Ri's prop sword flew into the air, knocked clean from her hands by Yoo-Jin's powerful strike.
Whirr.
At that very moment, Yoo-Jin shot her left hand forward and grabbed Min Gyu-Ri by the collar.
『Gah!』
Yoo-Jin's grip was so tight that Min Gyu-Ri immediately started gagging and coughing. Panicking, Min Gyu-Ri flailed in a desperate attempt to escape. However, she couldn't pry off Yoo-Jin's hand, whose grip had only grown stronger with the smirk blooming on her face.
Still holding Min Gyu-Ri firmly by the collar, Yoo-Jin began to roar from a distance so close their breaths mingled.
『No one's come this whole time, which is proof that you and your mother pulled some strings! That means even the king's illness is your doing! Isn't that right, Do-Hwa!』
The hatred in Yoo-Jin's eyes brimmed with cold cruelty, like she could cut down even her own sister. Yoo-Jin's voice rang out from deep in her gut. It was a cry not just of rage, but of heartbreaking sorrow. Her twisted expression was marked by the anguish of having to turn against her own blood, even if they were half-sisters.
With her charisma blazing, Yoo-Jin erased Min Gyu-Ri's presence from the scene entirely. Jung Yoo-Jin, the acting prodigy, had accepted Min Gyu-Ri's provocation solely for this moment.
As a result, the staff on set and the visiting employees from MBS Pohang couldn't take their eyes off her. Even PD Oh Bok-Hee, who had shot up in surprise, let out a quiet gasp of admiration and sat back down.
