Chapter 50 - Being Followed [2] (1/2)

A spike of panic went through Moon Jiwoo, and her nerves simmered at the thought of being followed. However, she did not let that translate into an expression upon her face.

”Let's go separate ways then,” Jiwoo spoke out.

”What are you talking about?” he questioned, raising one of his eyebrows.

”What I mean is there are no way those people will be following me. It makes sense for them to follow a thief like you, and since I don't want to be involved in your troubles, I will be heading away first,” Jiwoo said.

However, before she was able to precede him, he grabbed on to her wrist, and pulling her back, he expressed, ”How are you so sure that they are following me? You could be their target as well, and didn't you say that you are here to protect me?”

”That's right,” she mumbled before a sigh left her mouth.

”Since this is important, I suppose I can't abandon you here,” she added.

Releasing her hand from his grip, Moon Jiwoo grabbed on to Sookyung's hand instead, and without waiting for him to process everything, she muttered, ”Run.”

Ever since she had transmigrated into this body, she was aware that she ran faster than average humans, and such a skill was truly advantageous at this moment.

Moon Jiwoo glimpsed at Sookyung and exclaimed, ”What are you trying to do by holding on to these shopping bags? They are just going to slow down your running.”

Moon Jiwoo did not have to mention that again before Sookyung dropped the shopping bags within his hand.

Jiwoo turned her head slightly back and saw that three men were chasing after them. They were cladded in black from top to bottom, and their speed was much higher than Jiwoo's.

At this rate, they would be caught before even a minute passes, and such a situation made it difficult for Jiwoo to think of something. The area around her seemed unknown to her, and the surrounding had no such place that she could consider hiding at.

”You are doing a poor job for someone who has to protect me. It will merely be taking them thirty seconds in catching us,” Sookyung spoke out— making a sharp attack on Jiwoo's pride.

'Weird Creature, what type of situation have you gotten me into?'

”I can get you released from this, but that's only if you beg me and promise to be obedient. Think fast; you do not have that much time in your hand,” Minnie said.

'Hell, there is no way I am begging you, and if the situation gets worse, I am abandoning that thief. After all, he is reason behind this trouble.'
