Chapter 23 - 22. A Knight’s Oath
When Hajin said he would take her to the car, Sarah never thought it would mean carrying her all the way.
But this time, she couldn’t protest. After all, she had no capability of climbing up the cliff to where she parked the car, and going through the road would take a long detour with the time they didn’t have. So she just sighed and allowed the man to carry her, holding onto the broad back while holding the briefcase as Hajin nimbly scaled the cliff to Lee Sol’s car.
Just as they arrived at the top of the cliff, a loud explosive sound came from the villa and made her flinch. Sarah widened her eyes at the blazing flame licking up the interior of the mansion.
Fucking hell!
"Where do you even get the explosive?" Sarah asked as Hajin carefully put her down beside the car. He opened the door with the key Sarah gave her, and told her to sit.
"Something on that level is easy to make," the man answered dryly while checking the glove compartment for more first aid kits as if it were a boring topic. "Ah, I loaded the kids into the truck in the parking lot and drove it outside. The fire won’t reach them."
Sarah frowned slightly. "Won’t it look suspicious?"
"I placed two people near the truck and positioned someone behind the wheel," Hajin told her with a confident smirk. "It will look like they are getting attacked while moving out the corpses."
Sarah sighed in relief. At least, once someone checked the burning villa, they would find the victims on the truck. If they had it, their family should at least receive closure about their fate. Even if they didn’t have anyone to mourn them, at the very least, they would be able to have a more respectable burial than getting burned together with their assaulter.
A shadow loomed over Sarah as Hajin held the car’s hood and looked at her with gleaming eyes. "So? Did I pass your test, Princess?"
Sarah glared at him with narrowed eyes.
