Chapter 103: PAID

“Pathetic. With 760 billion won practically being handed to them, why would they get greedy like this?”

After all, they’ll die not long after the story starts anyway. What’s the point of hastening their demise? They might as well enjoy whatever they want for the time they have left.

‘Or… maybe not? The male protagonist is dead, and the female protagonist is with me, so if I don’t act, maybe they won’t die?’

Their end comes when the protagonist discovers their drug operation, leading to their downfall. Thinking about it now, if I don’t act, that chain of events likely won’t happen.

‘Well, in that case, I guess I’ll have to kill them myself. What choice do I have?’

Such is fate, perhaps. No matter what, the doomed will always meet their end. If they were fated to die, they’d find a way to hasten it, even if it meant acting like this and pushing themselves closer to the brink.

“Pull our people back. There’s no reason to walk into such an obvious trap.”

“Yes, Master.”@@novelbin@@

Soo-ah contacted Prestige to relay my orders.

We wouldn’t be crawling into the trap so carefully laid out for us.

Aunt.

Yes, Young Master?

Do you need test subjects? A healthy adult male, in case you’re wondering.

Test subjects?

Yes, considering the secrecy surrounding Levi. If it’s something the Koryo Group hides even from a direct member like me, it must be something pretty sinister. Surely you could use a subject for that kind of work?

Ah… we already have plenty….

Really?

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

There’s an idiot who tried to buy something from me and planned to backstab me in the process.

An idiot, indeed.

To be fair, he doesn’t know he’s dealing with me.

Ah….

But it’s insulting. Not knowing doesn’t justify betrayal. He should’ve handled things with respect, don’t you think?

Of course….

So, you don’t need any more test subjects?

If it’s punishment you’re considering, perhaps you could try using the Nano Decomposer being developed by Militaris.

Decomposer? What’s that?

It’s a type of injectable implant designed for special purposes. When injected, the nanobots in the solution act on the subject’s brain and nerves, amplifying sensory sensitivity up to 3,000 times. They then begin decomposing the body, a process that takes about a month for full disintegration. During this time, the subject remains alive.

So, for a month, they feel their body decomposing at 3,000 times the normal sensitivity?

Yes, that’s a simple explanation. If you combine it with a drug that increases the brain’s time-perception ratio, the effect becomes even more intense. In experiments, I tested it with a 10x time-perception increase.

Should I send you a sample set?

Send it.

I’ll make sure you receive it by tomorrow morning.
