Chapter 27: Don’t Create Things You’ll Have to Take Responsibility For
As Jincheon stood there, uncertain what to say, the Oracle continued speaking with that same serene smile.
“By the way, have you received the gift yet?”
“Gift?”
“Yes. Dongpung isn’t the type to let a favor go unreturned.”
Jincheon tilted his head.
“No, I haven’t received anything.”
“Then it should arrive in a few days. When it does, I’m sure you’ll forget all about someone like me.”
Jincheon was bewildered. He didn’t know what she meant by a gift, nor how it related to anything she’d just said.
“It’s alright. You’ll get used to it soon enough. The hard and painful days... the lazy, indulgent times too.”
It was a strange, ominous statement.
Jincheon was about to ask her to explain when she suddenly said:
“I’m sorry, but could you return now? I don’t think my body can handle much more conversation.”
