Chapter 56: Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer (3)
Let’s think.
How much does Yoo Seong-pil know... and who told him, and how?
How much should I say?
‘But Yoo Seong-pil doesn’t know the most important fact. Even if everything gets exposed here, my own safety is secured.’
The problem is, even if he doesn’t know, there’s something Yoo Jin-ha must absolutely not find out....
My tongue clicked against the edge of my teeth. I carefully adjusted my words and opened my mouth.
“...Fund? What fund?”
The innocent eyes of a young girl turned to the old man. Yoo Seong-pil smirked slightly, as if he’d noticed my concern.
“Hoo... my granddaughter worries too much over nothing. Even if this Yoo Seong-pil is old, do you think I can’t handle a single errand boy? He’s got no ears, so it’s fine. Go ahead.”
That hoarse old voice pricked at my ears.
‘This old man lying in bed because he can’t even move his hands properly....’
A brief irreverent thought passed through my mind as I glanced at the bodyguard. Looking closely, his ears were... a bit strange.
