Lee Yoon-Ah shook her head, still cautious. "No, Chairman. He seemed concerned."

Chairman Lee chuckled. "Director Kim can be passionate. Don't worry, I'll handle everything."

After Lee Yoon-Ah left, Director Kim burst in, his face urgent. "Chairman, I must tell you something. The artifact isn't with Yoon-Ah; it's with Park."

Director Kim shook his head firmly. "No, Chairman. I'm protecting Yoon-Ah. She's innocent."

Chairman Lee sneered, hand moving to his drawer. "Innocent? Ha! You're a fool, Director. Fools deserve to die."

He pulled the trigger. Director Kim's eyes widened in shock as he fell, limp.

Chairman Lee smirked. "What a poor soul. Your usefulness has expired. Your emotional attachment to Yoon-Ah makes you unreliable. Eliminating you keeps my goals on track. Ha ha ha. Now, next is you."
