Of course, the person most surprised at Hailey’s words was Hugo. The second-most was his son, Chun Sungjae.

“Jiwoo?”

“Mom? What about Mom?”

Why would Hailey bring up her name now?

Hailey replied with furrowed brows, “Hugo, your wife will most likely be the one in the most danger.”

Hugo immediately glared at her. “Jiwoo? Why?”

He raised his guard. It was to be expected. Although Hailey was his benefactor and had feelings toward Lee Gun, there was no guarantee her Zodiac had goodwill toward them.

Even if they were all on the side of humanity, they were still enemies. The Zodiac Saints tried to steal from each other’s temples and grab each other’s disciples. They could become enemies whenever it was convenient for them.

The walls and the floor around them turned into black light. Faced with this power, Hugo and Kevin immediately pulled out their weapons. On their guards, the disciples also activated their skills.

“Hailey!”

“…!”

There was no downside...
