Absolute Advantage - Chapter 53.1

Adam rose to his feet.

The manager looked up, his body trembling. Adam’s straightening body was akin to a black monster, not a human being.

“Well then, manager.”

“Y-yes…?”

“Let’s stop talking about boring things and get down to business.”

A frightened human face was reflected in the lost gray eyes. Adam proposed with a beautifully bent smile.

“Do you want to rot in prison for a few years? Or else,”

“!”

“Do you want to be found overseas as an unidentified body?”

Adam and Li Yu-yen pulled over far from the police station.

And they looked at the back of the manager entering the police station on his own. Li Yu-yen, who was looking through the blue police station sign, murmured to himself, “People in Seohwa Welfare will think a real miracle has happened. They’ll never know it was us.”

“Of course they won’t know.”

Adam said.

“If she knew that her cute omega fiance was a manicuring Alpha, what kind of reaction would she have?”

A cute omega.

“A cute omega is something that only suits an actor named Louis.”

“…….”

Normally, he would have been sarcastic about whether that type was his taste or not, but it was strangely quiet. When Li Yu-yen, who felt strange belatedly, looked next to him, Adam closed his mouth with his forehead gathered.

Are you upset again?

Li Yu-yen belatedly soothed Adam.

“Now she won’t have anything to do with that actor. We’ve caught the manager too, he’ll be out of your sight soon.”

“You know what? There’s about 60,000 missing reports a year.”

Adam cut off Li Yu-yen’s words.

“I can’t find 1,000 of them”

“…….”

Li Yu-yen closed his mouth unknowingly.

What are you talking about, man?

“Just kidding.”

Adam smiled.

Li Yu-yen remained stiff for a while and then burst into a rage as soon as he relaxed.

“It doesn’t sound like a joke at all if you say it with that expression on your face……!”

“Why? You’re afraid I’ll hurt you?”

Adam jumped up and down and laughed.

The problem was not the fact that this human being was an alpha, but that his crazy temperament was the most problematic. Haewon will never know.

But what about the Alpha thing?

Li Yu-yen deepened his thoughts into the question that suddenly came to mind. Wouldn’t his traits eventually get caught? After Adam brought down the JS family, inevitably.

Li Yuen looked at Adam gently.

“You know what?”

“What?”

“After revenge, what are you going to do?”

As soon as Li Yu-yen’s words ended, Adam burst into laughter. They’re in the middle of a serious conversation. Li Yu-yen was very annoyed.

“Why are you laughing?”

“I mean, it feels weird to hear the word revenge”

Adam moved up and down a few more times and straightened his face.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“Seo Haewon.”

Adam was silent again.

Like a dead machine, he typed in a question and nothing was answered. Li Yu-yen changed the question.

“You’re so jealous and caring about her. I guess you love her.”

Somehow, the word love was embarrassing to put on her tongue, so Li Yu-yen cleared his throat. While Li Yu-yen was embarrassed like an adolescent boy, Adam was lost in his own thoughts again.

At last Adam spoke out.

“When I see her with another guy, it’s like my organs are twisted.”

“……?”

“Like, she comes back from being bullied by someone not me, I want to kill the bully.”

Adam continued in a low voice.

This time it wasn’t a joke.

In an eerie answer that chilled his spine, Li Yu-yen unwittingly rolled up his lower lip and swallowed harshly. I shouldn’t have asked.

Adam acts emotionally rich on the outside, but he was actually the owner of the parched emotions more than anyone else.

He lacked the ability to empathize with other people’s feelings. Maybe he grew up like this because he’s a born perfect alpha and doesn’t need to be self-conscious.

There were times when he missed the point while talking. And it certainly stirs up an eerie fear.

A sense of uneasiness about where one might jump.

It was just like that now.

“Isn’t it more about possession or monopoly than love?”

Adam smiled.

“……You know well?”

Li Yu-yen asked again as if nothing had happened.

In the end, however, he could not hear what he wanted to do with Seo Hae-won.
