Gasp! A strangled sound escaped the son as he choked and gasped for air. Before he could even let out a scream, he froze up, becoming as rigid as a board. The droplets of blood that burst from his father splattering across his pale skin like paint. "You should have known your limits." It was a shockingly gruesome sight. A crimson liquid sprayed wildly from behind the middle-aged man standing there. Beneath the limp body lay a pool of blood soaking into the pristine white marble. The talkative…-

"...Hmm." Whether we know each other or not, his face was definitely familiar, but I couldn’t recall who he was. It seemed smarter to let him clarify things himself. As I mulled it over, the middle-aged man stepped forward. "Oh my, Director Joo, know him? Not at all.” The man laughed heartily, waving both hands dismissively. His overly genial expression only deepened the unsettling familiarity creeping over me. "’Know each other' is hardly appropriate. He’s just one of those… items…-

I am here because Joo Do-hwa needs a stand-in. Even knowing that, I’d made the mistake of asking a question rooted in a deeper curiosity. The important thing wasn’t why he was looking for him but how I was supposed to imitate him. My question had been misdirected. "Are you curious about how I feel about that person?" Joo Do-hwa softened his voice with an exceptionally benevolent expression. His tone was as gentle as could be, but his eyes weren't the same. His amber eyes seemed to pierce through…-

"I told you yesterday, let's play a role-playing game." It was a refreshing voice. He lightly twitched the finger he had pointed at me. "You're the Hyung." Then he pointed to himself. "And I'm the younger brother." I wondered if he really developed an inc3st fetish. The suspicion that had emerged yesterday gained a little more weight. No, if it's not about satisfying his s3xual desires, the word 'fetish' might be strange. "Is that it?" "That's it." Joo Do-hwa nodded his head kindly,…-

The overnight stay in the unfamiliar place was quite cozy, much more than I expected. I slept well just covered by a newspaper on the street, so I was in no position to be picky about the sleeping quarters, and strictly speaking, it wasn't even an ‘unfamiliar place.’ I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, it was already morning. As soon as I finished washing up, the housekeeper I hadn't seen before called for me. Walking down the stairs to the first floor, there were rows of chandeliers…-

Unlike the Ocean, where only cold water would come out, the young master's home had warm water gushing out abundantly. Nowadays, the weather wasn't that cold, but being able to rinse my body with warm water was a rare luxury. Perhaps that's why, despite knowing water was precious, I ended up dawdling a bit. Before entering the Ocean, I would collect rainwater in a leaky bucket to wash myself. During the rainy summer, I could manage somehow, but in the freezing winters, it was sheer agony. The water was…-

"...Hyung?" I couldn't help but repeat him, especially since Joo Do-hwa was nodding as if he had done me a great favor. "In return, you'll speak informally to me. How's that?" "You want me to speak informally?" This was the most absurd condition yet. If I were to speak informally to Joo Do-hwa while he uses honorifics with me, I would be the one benefiting, not him. Of course, the content itself wasn't exactly something I was eager about either, but at least he wouldn't be gaining…-

The gate with bars like iron bars was so huge that it couldn't be opened by human hands. With a creak and a majestic sound, as the entrance opened, an imposingly large garden unfolded. Along the path leading inside, rows of statues were decorating the way, and following that path, a lavish fountain emerged in the middle of the garden. If my memory serves me correctly, there was also a swimming pool big enough to host a party in the backyard. With sun loungers, tables, and a pool bar, that place was…-

The goods coming across the sea all pass through the hands of the 4HAE Group. Even the behind-the-scenes manipulations that have not yet been openly revealed would be well-known to those who are well-informed about that side's news. For that reason, Theo, who is standing in front of me, must also be aware of the manipulations. "'Even a country'...Does he have any self-awareness?" Theo let out a hollow laugh for a moment, as if finding it unbelievable. It seemed like he was asking if I understood how…-

"Ah, this one..." The boss's face showed clear distress, as if he wished he could hide me away at that very moment. I understood. After losing his temper and beating me, the aftermath must have left him in an awkward position. With the comment about sloppy item management, presenting me as an item had become awkward. He had been planning to sell me all along, but now he had single-handedly ruined everything. "This one is... not for sale." The boss had no choice but to hastily backtrack. Even…-
