“So this is what it looks like outside the city”
“Is this your first ti it?”
“Yes Have you seen it before, Director?”
“If I am honest, I have only seen it a few times, too,” muttered Hyun-Baek, a director of the Muri Sect
The city was covered in all sorts of neon signs and lights, so much so that it was hard to see the stars However, beyond all the light pollution, the night sky was filled with countless shi+ning stars
“It’s beautiful,” the director said
“Yes, it is, though there’s a horrible toxic gas around”
“But since we have filters, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to come out once in a while to look at the stars”
“Hoho That would be nice” Director Hyun-Baek chuckled as he looked up at the twinkling stars
However, his eyes were filled with concern, unlike his s Hero Seo was not an enemy of the Alliance’ Hyun-Baek had already noticed that so was off when Seo Jun-Ho was suddenly declared an enemy of the alliance

The ‘Emperor’ watched theolden light
“Y-Your Majesty…”
Director Hyun-Baek’s voice trembled Neo City was a very futuristic city, but its political system was extremely outdated They were an autocracy, and the Emperor held all the power As such, Director Hyun-Baek couldn’t help but get e down to save his people

The Emperor benevolently lifted his hand without a word Director Hyun-Baek gathered the final vestiges of his energy and ht arm
‘Oh, Your Majesty!’
However, he never ed to reach the Emperor The Emperor’s hand brushed passed his and settled on his abdomen
