The Devouring Genius of a Destroyed World

The next morning.

As soon as daylight broke, Seongho wasted no time in preparing to leave.

Since Seo Minhee couldn't move freely due to her injuries, Jo Gyu-hyun stepped outside the building to see Seongho off.

"Thank you so, so much for helping us yesterday," Jo Gyu-hyun said, repeating the same phrase he'd already uttered at least a hundred times.

He didn't seem tired of expressing his gratitude, no matter how often he repeated it.

As he looked at Seongho, who was preparing to leave, a worried expression crossed Jo Gyu-hyun's face. "Are you really going to go?"

He suggested that Seongho should come with them instead of heading into danger alone. They were planning to leave the area soon, so why not stick together?

But Seongho cut him off mid-sentence.@@novelbin@@

"I'm here because I have something I need to do. I don’t need your permission or agreement to do it."

The clarity and sharpness of his words left no room for argument, enough to be almost insulting. Jo Gyu-hyun fell silent.

"Seongho, we're ready!" Ji-hyo called out from behind.

"Ji-hyo, get on!" Im Chan helped Ji-hyo onto the back seat of the bicycle.

With preparations complete, Seongho turned to Jo Gyu-hyun one last time.

"You seem like a decent guy, so here's some advice," Seongho said.

"Huh?"

"No matter how much you run and avoid things, nothing will change."
