Chapter 1409. Released (4)
—Forgive me, Prime Minister, but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here.
The Chief of Staff sounded flustered just then.
Kim Myeong-Chan was hardly surprised by that response, however. They all must’ve thought he’d obediently take the fall for everyone, after all.
Their attitude made sense, though, considering how Kim Myeong-Chan kept yapping on about unhesitantly throwing his worthless life away if it was for the sake of this country.
Then again, it wasn’t only him, now was it? Others also said something similar in the past.
Of course, Kim Myeong-Chan wouldn’t mind doing that, even now. His beliefs still remained the same, despite him falling all the way down to the pits of hell. His fall had not changed the worth of the things he wished to protect, after all.
Besides, Kim Myeong-Chan would really have nothing left if his heart fell that low, anyway.
But this and that were different, weren’t they?
“What’s so difficult to understand? Try to kill me if you can. That’s it. I’ll stop humoring your side from now on, so you better find a way to kill me quick. However, if you do that, our country might realize that... Maybe I’m not the only one involved in this event!”
—Prime Minister...! Are you being serious, sir?
Kim Myeong-Chan deeply sucked in a lungful of smoke from the half-burnt cigarette before chewing his words out. “Do you honestly think I’m in a mood to crack jokes with you?”
—But, sir! This... is for the country!
