This was a small-scale gunfight. By the time Wei An arrived, the chase had already ended. The faint smell of gunpowder hung in the air, and voices could be heard ahead. "Are they from the Federal Military?" one person asked. "Probably," another replied. "Are they all cleared out? Just these two?" "There's one more—got him." "Make sure to catch them. We can't let them send any information out." "It's not like they could find anything useful anyway." Wei An continued forward. The…- 513.7 K • Completed
- The two continued forward, gradually approaching the deeper parts of the hotel. At one point, Wei An and Gui Ling passed by a massive glass wall, through which they could see the plaza outside. It was only three in the afternoon, but dark, ink-like clouds had spread across the sky. The clamor from the ground seemed distant, while the sky appeared ominous and desolate. Countless windproof candles had been lit in the plaza, illuminating the dim photographs of memorial tributes. Yet, the sounds of…

- The two walked along the elegant path of the hotel. Wei An happily considered the various details of his new persona. He really wanted to find a few more people to put on a performance for, but unfortunately, there was no one around. No matter. With Gui Ling there, he began telling the other man about the other specialty drinks at the Flâneur Hotel, listing them off with great familiarity—like the four different ways to make a particular kiwi beverage. There were also a few excellent dishes here;…

- The charity gathering was held in the largest hall of the Flâneur Hotel. Due to the heavily overcast sky, all the lights had been turned on. Inside the grand hall, an opulent chandelier hung magnificently, casting a bright golden glow over everything. By the time Wei An entered, the auction had already begun. On the stage was a mutilated corpse from the ancient civilization, displayed in a glass case. Several beams of bright light illuminated it, creating a lavish and extravagant…

- Wei An held a glass of pink iced drink, smiling as he walked through the bustling crowd. He was currently in Tongyun City, Taoyuan Province—a vast and scenic affluent district. As one of the Federation's most remote provinces, Taoyuan was a place with a slow pace of life and little prominence. Wei An had moved here three years ago. No one knew what he had done before, only that he was wealthy, handsome, elegant in demeanor, and a gentle, friendly, and generous person. Everyone liked him. It was…

“It's no big deal.” “Do you think I would believe that?” “It seems like my grandfather is trying to keep me in Korea. He’s pulling strings here and there, but it’s not exactly a pleasant situation.” Baek Mugyeong simply conveyed the facts, omitting the key points. Jeong Minchae uncrossed his arms. He seemed to think the situation was serious. In Korea, Baek Jinseok was practically a king. If he set his mind to something, there was no choice but to obey. “Why? Weren’t you out…- 281.3 K • Completed
- “Let’s wash together.” “I don’t want to.” “You refused so readily. Aren’t you disappointed that we left what we were doing earlier unfinished?” “I don't feel any regret. You're going to see it through to the end anyway.” “I won't do it.” “I don't believe it.” “To think that there is so much misunderstanding and distrust between us.” Although a conversation about a lack of trust had taken place, Jeong Minchae did not pull his hand away from Baek…

- “It's not a surprise.” "Really?" "Not here, let's go to the room." “Is it serious?” “Depends on the situation.” "Did Jeong Guhyeon get acquitted by any chance? I haven't seen any news about that. Or did Chairman Baek tell you to remarry?" The elevator stopped just as Jeong Minchae was mentioning the worst possible future. Seeing the doors open, Baek Mugyeong gestured and answered. “It's neither of them.” "That's a bit scary. Are there no hints?" “It's about the…

- Baek Mugyeong turned his head to look at Jeong Minchae sitting next to him. He looked cute as he took a big bite of fried rice and chewed slowly. I hope they don't resemble me. Baek Mugyeong felt an unfamiliar fear as he recalled that one-in-a-million possibility. The child might resemble Jeong Minchae, but they could also resemble him. It didn't matter if the child was a beta, an alpha, or an omega. However, he hated the thought of the child resembling him. Baek Mugyeong was unaware that he was…

- "Ha…." He sighed for the umpteenth time. However, instead of giving up, Baek Mugyeong racked his brain trying to figure out what to do. He had no talent for persuading others. And if Jeong Minchae really wanted a child, he couldn't object. Couples typically fought over issues both big and small. These conflicts ranged from minor lifestyle habits to major clashes over religion or beliefs. If the conflict intensified, breaking up was the inevitable outcome. Compromising was difficult, especially…
