MIM 81
By the time they returned to the mansion, Ma Jae-seung was delirious with a high fever. As soon as the engine was turned off and the sound of the corpse dancing stopped, a sea of fire engulfed him as if waiting for him this entire time. He was caught in the sensation of being burned alive, and then, in the next moment, his breathing became stuffy as if he were buried deep in the ground. The basement of the villa was gradually narrowing from all sides. He struggled, but eventually, the walls became so close…-

80 "Kuh, ughk...you're...a fail...ure..." The broken words drew out a bitter laugh. Ma Jae-seung tightened his grip even more. The failure was Father, not me. "Huk...!" His eyes snapped open and the scene before him flipped. Whatever had been pulsing beneath his fingertips stopped. When the pulse-like vibration ceased, no sound penetrated except his own ragged breathing and heartbeat. As a ringing that sounded like vital sign monitors echoed in his ears, his hazy peripheral vision slowly…-

79 Could he have bought it in advance, planning to give it to him if needed? Since he wanted to drive a wedge between Shin-woo and him, maybe he wanted to contradict Shin-woo's words by directly providing suppressants. Or maybe... Perhaps he was curious whether the only surviving test subject was a flawless Alpha or a failure. Ma Jae-seung played with the medicine box with a bitter smile on his face. Kim Ye-wook was also deeply interested in trait transformation research and belonged to those who…-

78 - Trust The flowers were beautiful. Ma Jae-seung breathed in the lukewarm air deeply as he looked around the green garden. Despite its size, the garden grew many varieties of flowers, their fragrance tickling his nose with every breath. While gazing at the fully bloomed morning glories, he casually checked his phone. The colors painting the garden beautifully reminded him of someone. "Don't be too late." 5:50 PM It was a message from the very person he'd been thinking about. Ma…-

77 "Please handle recycling." Upon checking the message, Shin-woo silently changed his clothes. He put on a dark-colored turtleneck that wouldn't stand out and pulled on a black cap. He needed to move quickly as it was already starting to get dark. 'Recycling' meant disposing of deceased test subjects' bodies. While they used explicit terms when commissioning murders, they used everyday expressions for disposing of test subjects. People died in the mansion so regularly that it could be considered…-

76 Shin-woo trudged toward the annex, still holding the photos Ma Jin-seong had given him as a "gift." He was bone-tired. After wandering various places during his long business trip, even the shabby annex felt like a welcoming respite. A space where he knew exactly where everything was when he opened the door and walked in. The place he had set up himself, however meager, gave him some sense of stability. As soon as he entered the annex, Shin-woo turned his gaze toward the second floor. Amidst the…-

MIM 75
The smell of blood stung his nose with every movement. Though he should have been used to it by now, the metallic taste on his tongue felt particularly nauseating today. Perhaps it was because of how unsatisfactorily today's job had ended. It was a job to sell a man to a fishing boat—someone who had borrowed a large sum from Ma Jin-seong, failed in business, and fled. The task involved catching the man who had escaped overseas and completing a deal with the organization. Despite spending nearly two…-

74 "Welcome." Lee Young-shin warmly greeted Ma Jae-seung. The gentle first impression felt in her phone voice hadn't changed much in person. The wrinkles on her face drew soft lines following her smile and judging by the length of her graying hair, she apparently never dyed it. Though modest in appearance, her brilliant career was evident in her intelligently shining eyes. Lee Young-shin guided Ma Jae-seung to the dining table, then opened the cupboard herself and asked while taking out cups, "I…-

Jae-seung was waiting in front of the car, standing with one leg crossed. He looked defiant with two bags slung over one arm and a hand in his pocket. When he turned slightly at the sound of approaching footsteps, Shin-woo also looked up from glaring at the bags. Their eyes met immediately, but neither spoke. Shin-woo opened the back door first and reached for the bags Jae-seung was holding. He intended to carry the luggage as usual, but the hand gripping the bags was unyielding. Jae-seung hugged the…-

It was a moment when only glances were quietly exchanged, with no one speaking. Then, with tiny, cheerful footsteps, a small Maltese appeared and stood proudly at Woo-jae's feet. The doll-like dog's appearance instantly melted the tense atmosphere. Everyone, especially the owner Woo-jae, gave the Maltese affectionate looks while cooing and soothing the lovable creature. While all the humans were completely taken with it, the Maltese, after receiving plenty of attention, finally took its insignificant…-
