The Villainous Director Is Raising a Child!

"Rough?! What do you mean, rough! That was some seriously good fighting, wasn't it?"

Bristling at the harsh verdict tearing down my kids, I raised my voice.

"Th-then why, what was rough about it?"

Han Jewoon crossed his arms and asked back, serious.

"Be honest with me. The little ones — they've never actually cleared a Gate from entrance to boss room entirely on their own, pacing themselves the whole way, right?"

I was struck speechless for a moment.
