Shin Ara, she was the head of the Sura clan and also Shin Su-ah’s older sister.
However, Shin Soo-ah was glaring at her older sister as if she were her enemy.
Meanwhile, Shin Ara still had a happy face.
“I came to see Seo Kang-rim and you. After you came out to the training facility, we only talked briefly at the hospital.”
Shin Ara quietly approached Shin Su-ah and grabbed her arm.
But what was caught was only an empty sleeve.
“… … In the end, it couldn’t be cured.”
Shin Ara’s voice was shaking weakly.
He looked like an ordinary person worrying about his family.
Shin Soo-ah seemed to pause for a moment at the sight of her older sister.
“This won’t work. Come back home, Suah.”
“I’m not going back.”
“Everyone is worried about you. You lost your arm and you haven’t come home… … .”
Shin Ara said in a sorrowful voice.
If you look at it this way, she only looks like a loving older sister and a rebellious younger sister.
Even though Shin Ara desperately clung to her, Shin Su-ah remained unwavering.
“I’m not going home. And why did you come to find Seo Kang-rim instead of me?”
“To recruit you into our sect.”
“No. He decided to join the same sect as me.”
“Then you both can come to me?”
Shin Ara continued to hold on to her younger sister.
But Shin Soo-ah coldly kicked her out.
“I have nothing more to talk about with you, so get out.”
“Su-ah, please. Let’s talk. Your father misses you too. He’s not feeling well these days. He might pass away.”
Shin Soo-ah seemed momentarily shaken by those words.
He seemed shaken by the news of his parents’ death.
Shin Ara said carefully.
“I know you hate me. But… … . If you change your mind, please let me know. Okay?”
Shin Soo-ah, who had been resolute until just a moment ago, was unable to answer this time.
Shin Ara patted her younger sister on the shoulder and quietly left the room.
The atmosphere was turbulent, as if a storm had passed.
Yoon Bom also looked dumbfounded.
She noticed and then said something to Shin Soo Ah.
“Is that person really the lord of the Sura sect?”
“huh.”
“Awesome! This is a really strong sect right now!”
“Even so, they are just gangsters.”
Shin Soo-ah blurted it out.
In a tone that at first glance seems contemptuous.
Yoon Bom said in surprise.
“I heard a rumor that Suramun was a gangster, but it seems to be true. That person earlier didn’t look like a gangster… … .”
“To be exact, the leader of the Surapa is our father. My sister probably sat in the gatekeeper’s seat to expose her face… … .”
As she spoke, Shin Soo-ah’s expression gradually darkened.
Well, she hated her own family.
In my previous life, I didn’t understand Shin Soo Ah very well.
He was born into a wealthy and powerful family, but he left it all behind.
If she had remained Surapa’s daughter, she would have been able to live without any lack.
When asked why she cut herself off from her family, Shin Soo-ah said bitterly.
[The power and money my father gained were all obtained by killing and harming someone.]
She also demanded that the Surapa be disbanded, but her father would not accept such a request.
The least you can do is leave that house.
She made such a foolish choice simply because of her beliefs.
“Now they’ve even created a sect and are active… … I can’t even imagine how much bigger the organization will become.”
Shin Soo-ah muttered weakly.
She said this while washing her face with one hand.
“Spring, I’m sorry, but could you please step aside? I have something to talk to Mr. Kangrim about.”
“Oh, yes! If anything comes up, call me… … .”
Yoon Bom looked at Shin Soo Ah as if she was worried, then left.
I was just standing there dumbfounded.
What do you have to talk about with me?
“Excuse me, by any chance… …”
Shin Soo-ah said while playing with the hem of my clothes.
“Do you want to go to Suramun? I think my sister wanted to scout Seo Kang-rim, but I just rejected her… … .”
Now that I think about it, I didn’t respond to Shin Ara’s suggestion earlier.
It’s a water gate.
It is one of the sects that is growing in size and is on the rise.
The organization had financial resources, connections, and solidarity, so it wasn’t a bad idea to get in at first.

Crucially, even if Baek Young comes and kills all the members of that sect, it won’t affect me.
Although the conditions were good in many ways… … .
“No. I have no intention of joining.”
At those words, Shin Soo-ah’s face brightened a little.
It was frozen and murderous just a moment ago.
Is it really that much of a relief that I don’t have to go to Suramun?
I looked at her blankly and said.
“So that’s all you have to say?”
“Oh, no. I have a favor to ask… … .”
Shin Soo-ah hesitated for a moment and then said.
“I think I need to go see my sister and father. Can you come with me?”
* * *
As I walked down the stairs to the meeting place, I could hear a scream coming from inside.
There was a peculiar underground smell.
As I entered the dark basement, I asked Shin Soo Ah.
“Is this the meeting place?”
“Yes. This is definitely the place my sister was talking about… … .”
I had a hard time understanding the mind of the person who chose this place as the meeting place.
The room specified in the message was the innermost one.
As I opened the door and went inside, I saw Shin Ara sitting in the darkness.
“Oh, both of you, come quickly.”
Her voice resonated loudly as she held the microphone.
I sat across from him, frowning.
She handed me the microphone.
“Seo Kang-rim, would you like to sing a song too?”
“… … No. It’s okay.”
The place Shin Ara had designated as the meeting place was a karaoke room.
At first I thought something was wrong with the location marker, but it really was a karaoke room.
Shin Soo-ah also had a slightly embarrassed expression.
I said, sitting on the sofa.
“I don’t think this is a good place to have a conversation.”
“But I need a quiet place to talk. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to talk comfortably without being disturbed here?”
“There are also places like hotels.”
“Yes? Hotel?”
Shin Ara said, jumping up.
He looked a bit embarrassed.
“A hotel? Oh, I’m not even married yet and I’m going to a hotel… …!”
“Shin Soo-ah and I are also staying at the hotel.”
“Huh? Those two are suspicious, but really… … ? Su, Su-ah. I think it’s a bit early for you to be saying that… … !”
Shin Soo-ah lowered her head and covered her eyes.
It felt like she was saying, ‘That’s what you call sister… ‘
This was my first time meeting and talking to Shin Ara in person, and in many ways she was a different woman than I expected.
A woman who looks like she has a screw missing somewhere is the head of the Sura Gate.
It was something a normal person would think of.
Shin Soo-ah spoke to Shin A-ra, whose face was red.
“Sister, why did you call me here? I thought we’d meet at a place like the hospital.”
“Why the hospital?”
“I heard your father is in critical condition. Is he recuperating at home?”
“Oh, that. That’s a lie. I thought you’d come then.”
Shin Ara smiled with a pure face without any malice.
But Shin Soo-ah didn’t laugh.
As Shin Soo-ah was about to leave the room, Shin A-ra grabbed her.
“I’m sorry, Su-ah! But I really wanted to talk to you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Come to Suramun, Su-ah. Suramun needs you.”
Shin Soo-ah bit her lips at that suggestion.
She forcibly twisted Shin Ara’s arm and shook her off.
“I’m not the right person for the job.”
“That’s right. Who else is better suited to the Suramun than you?”
“I won’t become a gangster!”
When Shin Soo-ah shouted, Shin A-ra looked as if she was hurt.
Shin Soo-ah’s eyes wavered at that expression.
She turned her head urgently.
“Then I’ll go first. Don’t call me like this again.”
Shin Soo-ah opened the door to the karaoke room.
I was about to follow her out, but Shin Ara stopped me.
She said with an earnest face.
“Hey, Seo Kang-rim. Are you friends with Su-ah?”
“… … Well, it’s similar.”
“Then I’ll be free to talk. Kang-rim, can you spare me a moment?”
story?
When I glanced at Shin Soo-ah, she hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and went out first.
Even though it’s something Shin Ara will say, I can guess what it will be like…
I sat back down and looked at her.
“So what do you want to talk about?”
“I have a favor to ask… … . If anything happens to Su-ah in the future, could you please let me know?”
In some ways, it was an ordinary request.
Because family worries about the well-being of family.
But this was clearly an act of surveillance.
“I have no intention of spying on Shin Soo-ah.”
“No, surveillance! I’m just worried as your older sister… … .”
She looked slightly shocked.
Just looking at her face, it seemed like a request made with a truly pure heart.
Shin Ara looked at me with slightly teary eyes.
“If Su-ah comes to our school, everything will be resolved… … And it would be good if you come too, Kang-rim.”
She slowly raised her head and grabbed my hand tightly.
“Our sect is really good. We’ll push hard. Oh, and I’ve prepared a gift for you too!”
After saying that, Shin Ara came out carrying a briefcase that she had left in a corner of the karaoke room.
There was also a large carrier next to it.
Shin Ara opened her bag and pushed it towards me as she spoke.
“If you join our sect, I’ll give it to you. It’s not much, but… … .”
The bag was full of bills.
That would be roughly around 500 million won.
It was certainly a large sum, but… … .
“No, it’s okay.”
It’s about 500 million, so you can easily earn it since you have knowledge of your past life.
It’s too cheap to betray Shin Soo Ah.
When I refused, Shin Ara looked troubled and said,
“Hmm, maybe this was a little too insincere… … Then how about this? I prepared another one.”
Shin Ara said that and this time she came dragging her carrier.
It was a very large bag, as if he was going on a trip to some faraway place.
Shin Ara said with a shy face.
“I prepared something I think you’ll like, but I’m not sure if you’ll like it.”
Did you fill this up with cash too?
If it was that size, it would probably be in the tens of billions.
“Open it, quickly.”
Shin Ara was constantly urging me from the side.
The person giving the gift seemed even more excited, as if he were a child.
I wasn’t particularly interested in any kind of gift, but I felt like if I kept going like this, he would hold me back and hang on.
I pulled down the zipper on the carrier.
Shin Ara chattered as the zipper went down with a squeaking sound.
“I heard you have the ability to steal fortunes, so I prepared this specially.”
The zipper was all down and the contents were exposed.
I froze for a moment when I saw the ‘gift’ inside.
What was in the carrier was neither money nor items.
A man with his mouth taped shut looked at me in horror.
Shin Ara spoke in a shy voice from the side.
“He was one of our sect members, and I was about to deal with him because he betrayed me. Then I heard about your special ability and set him aside.”
Shin Ara squatted down next to me and made eye contact.
She said with a faint smile.
“I hope you like it.”
