Chapter 184: PAID

Hobbyist VTuberWords: 2578

The first teaser trailer for Veterans was predominantly composed of scenes from the detectives' perspectives.

It showcased a sequence of action-packed moments, featuring Detective Jeon Jae-han and Detective Kang Chan-seong taking down criminals like gangsters and thugs in contrasting styles. Jeon Jae-han, a seasoned middle-aged detective, moved with precision and elegance, while the younger, zealous Kang Chan-seong executed flashy and chaotic moves to subdue offenders. The overall tone was more lighthearted and upbeat than heavy or intense.

Lee Ye-seo, the villain of the story, was briefly shown in only a few fleeting glimpses. Even in those moments, she appeared more like an ordinary corporate executive than the decadent, third-generation chaebol heiress she was rumored to be.

"I’m sorry, but… is something wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No, I was just wondering—what does it feel like to be a cop? I’m personally curious about a few things."

The scene where Detective Kang Chan-seong and Lee Ye-seo finally crossed paths portrayed her as nothing more than an innocent young woman.

"Wait… did I just get a confession?"

"Hmm… not quite the kind of confession you’re thinking of."

Even as Lee Ye-seo smiled faintly, it was hard to think of her as a villain. There was no hint of the extravagant, reckless aura often associated with chaebol heirs, nor did she exude an unsettling atmosphere.

However, when people connected to Lee Ye-seo started to disappear, and the teaser transitioned to an isolated house in the countryside, everything changed in the last ten seconds.@@novelbin@@

"Hey… Mister."

Gone was the subtle smile from before. Lee Ye-seo’s expression turned cold and emotionless as she looked downward. Gripping a small dagger beside her, she passed by the camera.

"Chills… this is insane."

"So you’re saying that’s the same Kim Jung-hyun? Seriously?"

"The atmosphere is terrifying."

"She’s cutting through everyone—literally!"

"Why does she become a completely different person when she holds a knife? LOL."

"This is the first time someone’s face has genuinely scared me."

Murmur murmur.

Whisper whisper.

"Hihi!"

"Welcome, Witch!"

"Let’s play Minecraft today!"

"Hida, did you know your house decor changed a little?"

"Don’t tell her Diah did it, though."

"Uh, what’s that lava in your hand for?"

"Where’d you get a blindness potion?!"

"If that hits someone, it’s permanent, Hida!"

"Your housewarming gift is a bit extreme, don’t you think?"

"Oh no, it’s war!!!"

"Invade the Spirit Kingdom! Let’s gooo!"
