The atmosphere around the room instantly changed. The room conditions that had been fine suddenly felt awkward. Jacob, who got the question, his body stiffened. His eyes looked restlessly to the right and left as if he was avoiding something. Once again, Jacob was confused. He didn't know how to explain that to his new Lord. "Why do you look uneasy, Great Lord? I'm asking you a question, so look me in the eye!" Louzen ordered in his deep voice. Jacob bowed his head, "You are my Lord. You should not call me Great Lord. Just call me Jacob, Lord." "Okay. Now tell me, why was that woman brought here by your loyal subordinates? What do you want from her?" Louzen repeated his question firmly. He wasn't messing around with his words. Jacob did have a high position in the Dark Shield organization. He was respected in the organization and even in Megan's Kingdom because of his position as the most critical person in the organization. Not everyone can deal with him because he is always co

The warm embrace Camelia felt slowly made her feel calm. She felt safe for whatever reason. Even though it was clear that she was being kidnapped and kept in a room where it was not clear where she was. But when the man, whose name was unknown hugged her, the feeling of fear slowly disappeared. "Are you feeling better?" Asked Louzen. He smiled slightly, then released his embrace on Camelia and looked closely at her beautiful hazel-colored eyes. Camelia's body was not very tall. She had a slightly gaunt face with thin cherry-colored lips. Her long blonde hair was left loose with a few braids on the right and left sides, making her look sweet and cute. Camelia frowned and felt that the man in front of her was planning something with her. "Who are you? Why are you suddenly hugging me?" Instead of answering Louzen's question, she asked back with complicated thoughts. She put his guard up. Realizing she was still in a strange place with a strange man, she kept her distance from Louzen

Louzen's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He had wanted to take a short nap before looking through the documents left behind by the body's previous owner. But something unexpected happened. Who would have thought there would be a listening device in the room Camelia was staying in? Louzen lay down on the bed and closed his eyes even though he wasn't sleepy. He would leave the discreet investigation of the listening device to Jackson because this might have been the work of an insider or even an outsider who had unknowingly sneaked a spy. For now, Louzen only had Jackson as a trustworthy person. Hence he could not move freely in this world before taking back the Dark Shield organization from Jacob's hands, even though the older man claimed to be loyal to him. "Huft... it's right to choose sleep when you're dizzy thinking about the many problems." Louzen muttered. He put his arm over his head and forced his eyes to close. *** Kennedy Residence. The capital city of Clayton, Megan's

Louzen was left alone in the dining room. He savored a few desserts while keeping a close eye on his surroundings. Since his business with Jacob was over today, he planned to return to his mother-in-law's residence. After all, he already had a wife, even though his mother-in-law had never considered him a son-in-law. But it was X's duty as Louzen's successor to take responsibility. Louzen got up from his chair and left the dining table. In front of the door connecting the dining room with the main room, he accidentally bumped into Camelia. The girl was startled. For the first time, she had left her room because she felt safe, but instead, she met Louzen. Her face instantly turned deathly pale, her body frozen, not daring to move, even to blink her eyes. Louzen's steps automatically stopped when he passed Camelia. Seeing the girl's reaction, he didn't make any expression. Just flat. Then asked, "Finally, you want to come out too. Next time, don't trouble the maid by going on a

"Did you know that today the Great Master brought a young man to his mansion?" Asked the man holding the flashlight as lighting to the other man who was seen carrying a large cardboard box in his hand. "Yes. I heard it from some of the guards in the mansion. What is it?" "Nothing. Just curious. Because from what I heard, the Great Master seemed to respect that young man so much that even the people in the mansion had to be careful when dealing with him." "Seriously? I wonder what kind of man could make the Great Master bow down to him. You know yourself that Great Master is a person who-" The mouth of the man holding the box unconsciously let out words that shouldn't be said, making the man holding the flashlight reflexively silence him with his hand while whispering, "Shut up! Watch your mouth! What if someone hears? Do you want to lose your life by talking about the Great Master?" He said in warning. Instantly the man holding the box pursed his lips while widening his eyes.
