Chapter 232
“Sister...”
Jae-Hyeok was surprised at how naturally the word left his mouth.
Having come to understand his siblings’ feelings days ago, Jae-Hyeok had let go of his resentment toward his sister—but letting go of resentment and holding her accountable in his heart were separate matters.
For a time, Jae-Hyeok had worried that looking at her would serve only to remind him of that fated day eight years ago. But when he laid eyes on Kang Hyeon-Ah’s skinny waist and baggy eyes... Jae-Hyeok found he didn’t care about the past.
Only one thought occupied his mind.
Sister... That’s my sister.
“Step down, and I’ll overlook everything you did today.”
Cha Seung-Min formed a new arm with the remainder of his mana, but instead of ending in a hand, the wrist narrowed to a dagger-like point. Kang Hyeon-Ah’s unkept hair made it difficult to see, but the point seemed to be pointed directly at Kang Hyeon-Ah’s neck.
“Once you achieve more merits and become a National Treasure, change the law. Then, whether you visit or release your sister will be entirely up to you.”
Cha Seung-Min’s message was clear.
Give up for now, or I will ensure we both experience a disaster today.
His eyes radiated a firm killing intent, ready to strike at Kang Hyeon-Ah at the first sign of trouble.
