Chapter 97: Dark mist
When Shin Keir arrived at the night market, the entire place looked like a warzone.
Stalls were overturned, debris scattered everywhere, people running and crying in panic, some covered in blood. Yet Shin had no time to take it all in. His eyes searched frantically, he was only looking for one person.
He spotted Pablo in the chaos, but the latter only gave him an apologetic shake of the head. "I haven’t found her yet. Too many people. Everyone’s scattered."
Shin’s heart sank, but he didn’t stop. He pushed past the crowd, following the direction most people were fleeing from. He ran toward the danger. His instincts screamed at him, she had to be there.
And then, he saw her.
But it was already too late.
From a distance, he caught sight of Yeri. Jj was carrying her, trying to run with her in his arms, while also dragging another woman and shielding the child. But they weren’t fast enough.
The madman, grinning like a devil, had already unlocked the bomb.
Shin’s heart dropped to his stomach. Despite all his efforts, despite all the money, power, and influence he had accumulated over the years... none of it could protect her at that very moment and stop what was about to happen.
She would die right in front of him and there was nothing he could do.
No wealth, no authority, no title could overpower death.
But Shin Keir refused to accept it.
