46 – A person who is faithful to his work from the beginning
I was well aware of the saying that you shouldn’t judge people by their appearance.
However, it was something I hadn’t even thought of that the story could be applied in this way.
The person in front of me named Kwon-Soon Yoo.
She was… the kind of person who was completely different from the outside that fit the word golden sun.
“A good person… What do you mean, Adjutant?”
Kwon Soon asked me with a surprised expression. Regarding this, I honestly talked about what I was thinking.
“I mean literally. Even though they don’t seem to care about it normally, they still have a heart that values human life.”
“… .”
She kept silent for a while, with a slightly surprised expression at my words.
However… Soon, a light laugh began to flow from Kwon Soon’s lips.
“hahahaha.. is it? Well… Depending on what you think, you might consider it that way. But it’s not that kind of feeling. Rather than valuing human life… it’s just a lot of fear. It’s just that I feel uncomfortable killing people because my heart is weak. Even though I have been on this floor for so long.”
“Having that discomfort means you are a good person. Honestly… I’m not that confident in my case. I am confident that I can maintain such a compassionate heart even after being on this floor for a long time..”
At my words, Kwon Soon looked at me with a blank expression without saying anything for a moment.
And after a while, she turned her head and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
“I’m not in a position to say… what’s good about this? Killing people is inevitable after all. If you have a lot of useless thoughts like me, it will be hard to live long.”
“still. I don’t think that’s bad either. It is natural for people to value people’s lives. Even though there are difficulties in the job, I think it is definitely an honorable part to keep it without being dull.”
“… Chit.. That’s what the adjutant said.. Aren’t people too good? I don’t think I’m suited for this kind of thing.”
“hahahaha.. yes. What. That’s not very wrong. Since I have this kind of personality, I have lived listening to Hogu a lot in the past.”
“I guess so..”
At the end, Kwon-soon starts talking with a slight tick-tick.
But… in that moment I could recognize it.
Telling her this story made her feel a lot better than before.
‘I’m saying that, but… but I think I’m feeling a bit more settled?’
It seemed that it was quite comforting to have comforted her by slightly touching her true heart.
As I watched Kwon Soon become a little more comfortable, I started to think about getting up and ordering ramen.
At that moment, without recognizing the fact that Kwon Soon’s gaze was slightly directed at me.

Bones pouring a red liquid into a glass.
in front of it. Her owner and the chairman, who was the subject of her bodyguard on this trip, took his seat and sat down.
“So, what are the others doing?”
“Yes, we are splitting into two groups and taking turns taking breaks. Even in this situation, it seemed that they were on guard and not relaxed.”
“Yeah.. I guess. I don’t know about anyone else, but Aare and Jinhyeon… these two are people who are faithful to their work from the beginning. Even if you don’t like the current situation that much.”
The words of the chairman who speaks with deep trust and a little regret.
In response, Bones looked at his master in a cautious tone and asked.
“But, President… are you really okay? It’s a personal thought, but honestly, I still have the thought that I should have hired more security personnel. No matter how much those Dreamers’ A-rank hunters say that Lee Jin-hyun’s lieutenant, considering the risk of this art exhibition…”
“it’s okay. Don’t you know because you saw it too? Even under that circumstance, it worked perfectly as I expected. That’s enough. Trying to increase the number of people without reason is just cumbersome.”
“Ummm..”
Despite the chairman’s words, it was Bonness who still had an expression of uneasiness.
Of course, Bones had heard about the skills of the authors beforehand, and there was no doubt as much as he had seen it with his own eyes.
But… aside from that, the source of her worries now wasn’t simply from excessive concern.
‘There is a high possibility that they will appear in this art exhibition. I’m sure the president doesn’t know that either… I’m worried that I’m trusting them too much.’
A story that is secretly circulating among those with excellent intelligence.
Considering that, Boness honestly wished that the president sent an agent without participating in this art exhibition, and he actually recommended it, but the chairman was very determined about this.
No matter what happens, he was the chairman who showed his will to go and buy the goods himself, and Bones couldn’t break it in the end.
In the end, as a final compromise, the limit was to attach the condition of attaching security personnel who can trust their skills.
As a result, she hired Dreamers’ hunters and her lieutenant Lee Jin-hyun, who were talented enough to be acknowledged by her, and eventually gave her permission…
Even so, she still felt uneasy.
‘It’s best not to step foot in a dangerous place… Because of safety issues, it saves money that way. Haa.. Anyway, this stubbornness needs to be acknowledged..’
On the other hand, looking at Bones, who showed such lingering anxiety, the chairman drank all the liquid in the glass and spoke in a more serious voice.
“Well, then… let’s talk about the security personnel. Let’s review our plans for the future. Have you figured out the whereabouts of those things?”
“Yes, I heard that it will be exhibited at Hemington Plaza in the next three days. Expected average prices are about 80,000 euros, which is not as expensive as you might think, but…”
“Price doesn’t matter. The important thing is whether the recipient of the gift is happy or not. In that respect, make sure you have things in your hands. No matter what intruders come in.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind. President.”
Bones shows a strong will in the words of makeup.
Seeing her like this…
A soft smile slowly began to form on the lips of the makeup artist.

Paris, the capital of France.
It is a place where the essence of European culture is gathered, and this place, which can be called the heart of France in name and reality, was crowded with more people than usual.
Numerous masters of the art world visited here to show off their masterpieces at art exhibitions, and collectors gathered to sell their items or purchase new ones.
and. From tourists who participated simply to enjoy it, to peddlers and thieves who gathered to eat the falling beans among them.
So many people gathered for various purposes…
The special situation of being at war with the Abyss was invigorating the city of Paris.
“ruler! look here! These are the masterpieces of the famous Van Senz Gore! Is it genuine? Of course it’s an imitation! But at least you won’t find anything like this to decorate the walls of your empty home! The price is only 200 euros! I hope you buy good things cheaply!”
“This is a statue made by unknown artist Gauguin Freeman. I will serve you at a cheap price, so I would appreciate it if you could drop by and see it.”
Merchants who raise their voices and sell so-called fakes, or unknown artists who try to sell their works on the roadside without finding an exhibition hall.
In Paris, where art exhibitions are held, it is common to see people like this.
Rather than expensive and precious works of art, they were only clunky and slightly disappointing, but even these were enough to give people pleasure in that they could be purchased or viewed comfortably without burden.
In addition, as these attractions lead the atmosphere of this art exhibition and become an element that attracts more tourists, the French government did not specifically impose restrictions on them as long as they did not cause excessive problems.
In the first place, France itself was quite tolerant in this respect.
Like that.. A panoramic view of Paris that is quite different from the usual.
While keeping an eye on it…
A deep displeasure began to form on their faces, who were hiding in the dark.
“It seems like this year has started without any reservations… This kind of beggarly peaceful play.”
“I know. I really don’t like it, to the point where I want to blow it up if I get a chance someday…”
Two people talking in cold voices. Regarding this, the person sitting behind them spoke in a calm tone.
“Both of you calm down, I understand you guys, but now is not the time to act rashly. Our purpose is not to be small puppies like that.”
With those words, the person slowly gets up from his seat.
Then, the two began to show a cold smile on their lips as they looked at him, their ‘leader’.
Addressing them, he spoke in a voice that blended calm and murder.
“You can’t miss a big catch if you run amok. let me wait a bit It’s time to show those arrogant bastards how sharp the hound’s teeth are.”
