Chapter 384: The Winner Doesn't Pay the Price (1)

"Jin... Qing...?"

"Sorry, but I am the Honorary Cardinal, Yev Karina. Hahaha."

Her colorful expression was quite interesting.

She looked unfocused, still, and was struggling with comprehension. However, as she regained consciousness, she realized that I wasn't Jin Qing.

Her startled face was quite amusing.

'Do we really look alike?'

Our appearance was different, but our body shape was similar, so it was also understandable.

Since it hadn't been that long after she got up, she should've still been dizzy, and considering that Kim Hyunsung almost misunderstood me as the masked trash, our silhouettes must've looked alike.

The distorted expression she had on her face was only natural.

Instead of looking at the Jin Qing that she wanted to see, she saw me smirking. It was quite satisfying to watch the look on her face change.

It had been a while since I had seen such a face since I entered the continent.

In Elena's case, although she had nausea, there was still an unknown admiration, along with respect, on one side of her face.

However, Yev Karina's face was completely different.

Friendly feelings were out of the question. Her eyes were full of hostility regardless of the perspective I looked at it from.

Yev Karina looked like she was staring up at a piece of trash she didn't want to deal with or as if I was a pile of dog shit she accidentally stepped on.

It hurt a little, but I wasn't offended at all.

If I had been in the loser's position, I would have been quite upset as well, but we won, and winners would always have time and patience to be understanding and tolerant.

'Yes. I am generous. Absolutely.'

"Hahaha. That's a funny face. I don't think I've committed a crime like that. I'm the one who saved your life, you know. You could be a little thankful. Of course, you should thank Chang-ryul here first."

"..."

"Why are you looking at me as if you want to kill me? Am I not a lifesaver? I helped you become comfortable. Unlike other prisoners, we're giving you special treatment. I mean it."

"..."

"Isn't it polite to answer when someone talks to you, Karina? Am I wrong, Chang-ryul?"

"No. The Vice Guild Master is right."

"Well, he said it's only proper to talk to me. Say something. Or perhaps you're still not feeling well? Do you need a potion?"

Naturally, I smiled and smirked, but she still refused to respond. She just continued to look at me as vigilantly as possible. It felt impossible to get closer to her.

"I think we could be good friends..."

"Ptooey!"

Something sticky hit my face.

"..."

"..."

Kim Chang-ryul immediately tried to reach out to her, but I gestured him to stop. Slowly, I wiped the saliva off my face.

"Dirty human."

"Haha. Among Korean proverbs, there's a saying that says you cannot spit on a smiling face. Well, I guess that's not common in Russia. Of course, the story on Earth is useless, but I am a bit disconcerted as I was born in a country where mutual respect is one of our foundations. Where else would anyone treat prisoners so humanely? I'm going to feel a little sad if saliva is your payment for my gentle treatment, Yev Karina."
