CHAPTER 99

The man’s brow furrowed. His jawline stood out as if he was clenching his teeth. In short, it was a look of disgust.
He wiped the blood from his lip with a bandage and mumbled.

“You’re really crazy.”

No, it’s you who’s crazy.

Only after pressing her wound with cotton and bandaging it did the man stand up.

“Be careful when you flip the pages.”

She had to swallow that man’s human side. It was much more than being inhumane.

There was no need to be careful when turning the pages because she couldn’t even get past a single page. Grace sat in a daze and galloped along with her chasing thoughts.

Why was he being like that?

Could it have something to do with why he couldn’t kill her? Then, just as she was thinking about Peter that day, a voice full of displeasure sounded from above her head.

“Keep reading.”

“…Hey, I have a question.”

“What.”

“Peter also knew the location of the base.”

“Peter?”

“That postman. You killed him…”

“Ah…”

“You could have found out the location of the base from him, but you didn’t?”

Even though she was curious about Peter from the moment she found out that he was a double agent, she kept it to herself because she thought that the day she said it out loud, he would persistently ask her where the headquarters was.

But now that they had made a deal, she mustered up the courage to ask.

“Oh my… I forgot to ask.”

As he muttered something as if he was in despair, the woman grumbled under the desk. Did that even make sense?

Leon didn’t say anything but picked up the pen again and read down the reports, waiting for his approval one by one. All his attention was focused on the bottom of the desk.

Has it been about an hour?

The sound of chains and paper turning that could occasionally be heard from below had completely stopped. When he glanced down at his feet, sure enough, the woman was sound asleep on the cushion while the papers he had given her to read were thrown away on the carpet.

As he touched her face with his knuckles, she did not reject him or frown. After confirming that she was fast asleep, he finally gave an honest answer.

“I didn’t find out. You’re needlessly sharp.”

A soldier wasted a golden opportunity to find out the enemy’s stronghold. This was the result of a clash of personal desires. He wanted to find their base right away and destroy it… He wanted to avenge his father by destroying the rebel forces.

Another desire secretly whispered to him, burning his desire for revenge.

Let the woman offer up her comrades’ heads with her own hands. Then, he could get both revenge and the woman.

How could he refuse that sweet offer?

Leon pictured the woman offering her fiancé to him with her own hand.

Please kill this son of a b*tch who betrayed me.

He felt uncontrollable excitement.

What kind of smell did the blood of that arrogant imbecile who dared to take what was his, have? Every time he imagined it, an exhilarating feeling of joy spread throughout his body. He gently caressed the sleeping woman, letting out a heated breath as if he had placed her naked body at his feet.
