“Phone’s ringing. Where did you call from?”
“I told you, the direct line. The one used by UNHRDO.”

When Jeong Tae-ui said that, his uncle muttered an ‘ah’ and then chuckled.
“That number? You won’t be able to use it anymore. It’s not a number given to someone who isn’t a UNHRDO instructor.”
“What?”
“Rick is no longer a UNHRDO instructor. He was fired as of today.”

His uncle spoke as if casually talking about what he ate for dinner. Jeong Tae-ui was left speechless. But soon he sighed and muttered, “I see.”
Come to think of it, it made sense. They couldn’t keep a terrorist as a UNHRDO instructor. It was a problem that could easily drag them all down together.

Jeong Tae-ui scratched his head. Suddenly, his chest tightened painfully. Damn it. Why did he do that? If he said it was because of me, I’d just grab that bastard and twist him hard.

Jeong Tae-ui wiped his chest, which was burning hot to the point breathing was difficult. From now on, Ilay Riegrow was a fugitive. Just yesterday, he was arrogant, proud, and intimidating no matter what he did. Now, he had to hide and run away from being hunted by others. He wouldn’t be able to do anything properly anymore. Moving freely, going anywhere would be difficult.

“……”

Jeong Tae-ui clenched his teeth. His throat suddenly burned hot, and he wiped his lips with the back of his dry hand.
