At Young Master Yu-jin’s words, tears streamed down Seong Jun-min’s face. And then… “Yu-jin! Huuuuugh!” He wrapped Young Master Yu-jin in his arms and sobbed his heart out, but not a single person watching thought he was making a scene. Because everyone there had tears in their eyes.

At that Escort Guard’s words, Father asked urgently. “Something happened? What do you mean, something happened?” “A messenger from the Myeongmyeong Merchant Group is here right now.
