Chapter 100
Jae-Hyeok’s gaze rested on the bodies of the two team leaders.
What ugly people.
These people who abandoned their comrades were no different from the ones who had turned their backs on the Kang Family.
What happened to them? Where are they now? Jae-Hyeok’s eyes were dark as he recalled the faces of those he’d foolishly relied on as a child, his mind sinking into an abyss of hatred, anger, and killing intent.
Shaking off his dark thoughts, Jae-Hyeok said to the others, “You’ve worked hard.”
The Jaegyeong Pharmaceuticals employees and Song Se-Yeong were in a pitiful state. He could see how desperately they’d fought against the orc army.
“It was hard, but you did so much more. We’re alive thanks to you.”’
“T... Thank you, and I’m sorry.”
Nobody in the group said much about their experience. The boy before them had held back an ogre alone to save them. They worried that going into detail would cause him unnecessary worry or make him feel responsible.
Jae-Hyeok smiled slightly after seeing their consideration.
These were beautiful people. They had lured the orcs away in a situation where their lives were already on the line, and they fought by relying on each other to the end. This greatly impressed Jae-Hyeok.
But he was also worried.
