I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family

The outer perimeter of the Namdong Industrial Complex was encircled by a massive wall. Not the entire area, of course—this was a partial measure taken years ago by the city government after growing complaints and damages caused by rampant gang activity.

It wasn’t particularly effective. The walls could be scaled, and since they didn’t encircle the entire complex, gangs could simply go around them. The very notion of leaving the Namdong Industrial Complex meant these gangs weren’t going to be stopped by something as simple as a wall.@@novelbin@@

Still, the walls were constructed to provide minimal physical and psychological security. A grand gate was also erected at the time. That was more than a decade ago.

"Wow. That gate really looks like this now..."

Dantto gazed at it, seemingly lost in thought. For her, it must have been a symbol of isolation from the rest of the world, a boundary marking the only place she had ever known.

She approached the gate with a wistful expression, reaching out as if to caress it—
