Kim Tae-ji gazed intently at Qin Ye for a long time, before finally asking, “Can you promise that you won’t kill me?”

“Do you think you’re still in a position to be discussing terms and conditions right now?” Qin Ye responded placidly, “We’d earlier been prepared to discuss terms at arms’ length, but you’ve pushed us to a corner. That option is no longer on the table.”

Kim Tae-ji bit down hard on her lower lips.

Her heart was instantly awash with regret. Kim Tae-ji… you idiot! What the hell are you doing stirring the hornet’s nest like this? Not even the parish would be able to do anything to keep these monsters in check! Had I known these men didn’t belong to the mortal realm, I would never have made such a stupid decision!

But there’s no use crying over spilt milk… Are there still other options available to me right now?

It suddenly dawned on her that the lives of mortals were absolutely fragile.

After a long time, Kim Tae-ji finally took a deep breath and responded, “Ahn Jun-ho is dead…”

Ahn Jun-ho is dead?!

Qin Ye frowned - Have these last one and a half months been that eventful? I get it… To her mind, there’s no way I wouldn’t have learnt of Ahn Jun-ho’s death if I were truly someone under Lee Jung-sook’s charge. This is something that even Kim Tae-ji was apprised of after all. Besides, this is all borne out of wariness against the multitude of people who have and will always be after Lee Jung-sook’s life. But if that’s the case, then I suppose I can take it that she’s actually a faithful servant to Lee Jung-sook.

Not bad. Lee...
