Chapter 981: PAID

Childhood Friend of the ZenithWords: 1295

Yusa stared down at the fallen Red Commander.

Her body was a complete wreck, barely hanging onto consciousness.

And yet—

Cheonma remained exactly the same as when the fight had started.

Yusa had seen it with his own eyes.

This wasn’t even something he could call a fight.

And that was the problem.

‘…What the hell is he?’

Even when Yusa had fought the Red Commander before, it wasn’t like this.

Sure, he had always been able to defeat them.

Even if they were Commanders, it wasn’t difficult for him.

However—

‘Not like that.’

Toying with her like a child’s plaything—

That was something he couldn’t do.

That was why Yusa was now biting his lip,

staring at Cheonma with unease.

“Well, well.”

Tap. Tap.

Cheonma nudged Hong Jeong’s cheek with his foot.

“So, you actually care about your subordinates?”

His tone was mocking.

“I thought you simply gifted her to me for my entertainment.”

“……”

“Or is this enough for you to confirm your doubts?”

Confirm.

At that word, Yusa gritted his teeth.

‘He knows what I was trying to do.’

Did this man actually understand what Yusa had been suspecting?

Had he known all along, yet still come here on purpose?

As Yusa silently glared at him,

Cheonma suddenly turned away with an air of casual indifference.
