Who could hate people that took your side and worried about you? Sungyoon inwardly felt thankful towards Tim and Emily. They were showing genuine friendship. Still, there was a voice in the back of his mind that wondered if they would eventually betray him. He hated himself for having such thoughts.

“It’s fine. He has been arrested, and he will go through the legal process. He’ll be given an appropriate punishment. I’m satisfied with that.”

In the past, the legal process had failed him, and he had been sent into a life of poverty. However, he had evidence and allies by his side now. This time, the result would be different.

Tim and Emily closed their mouths. They were a third-party, and it would be a bit weird arguing against Sungyoon, who was the victim.

As if it had been choreographed, the three of them downed their beer at the same time. The conversation had come to an abrupt halt, so an awkward silence descended around the table.

Tim was the one to break the silence.

“If you don’t mind me asking, could you tell us what happened in the sealed section?”

Puhk!

Tim felt a blow to his shin. He furrowed his brows as he looked to his side. Emily had kicked his shin with the strength of a Connector, and she glared at him.

‘Why don't you shut up? He probably doesn’t have any good memories...
