Han Seo-ah and Choe Da-in, who were standing next to him, were also disturbed, but they didn’t utter a word.

It was because they hadn’t been able to read my intentions yet.

In this delicate atmosphere, Xiao Chen turned to Woo Ki-bum, who was next to her, and gave him a sharp look.

“Isn’t this different from what I heard?”

“. . .It must be a lie to avoid the situation. Don’t you know that this damn labyrinth isn’t an ordinary space, sister?”

That was certainly the common judgment. However, coincidentally, I actually knew a way to escape from here.

So, I had no choice but to coax Xiao Chen based on that information.

“This is a test site created by someone with a clear purpose. It’s to select specific people who meet the conditions.”

“What exactly is that?”

“I don’t know that yet.”

“. . . . . .”

“But what is certain is that the tasks for this selection are hidden everywhere, and you have to complete them in order to escape from here.”

It’s too bold to be a simple lie. Moreover, this level of detail is not just something you’d pull out of thin air.

At that, not only Xiao Chen, but Woo Ki-bum, who had been trapped here for a long time, began to make surprised expressions.

“So, you’re saying you can do it?”

“At least I’m confident. However, I’ll need everyone’s cooperation.”

In short, it was a request to not waste our energy by attacking us since I would get us out of here somehow.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen nodded as if she had decided that it wasn’t mere nonsense.

“Okay.”

“. . .Sister!”

“Instead, if nothing significant happens after a week, I’ll go find you myself and collect my payment.”

Xiao Chen had time to spare.

It was an action taken because she knew that we here, including Yoo Tae-jin, a 1st-grade exorcist, were no match for her.

“. . .Thank you.”

That’s how we narrowly escaped the crisis and were able to return to the ruins, the home base of Yoo Tae-jin’s party.

However, we were now involuntarily given a time limit of one week.

“. . .Oppa, are you okay?”

“Huh? I’m fine.”

But I smiled, the corners of my mouth twitching. That’s because I had already calculated everything in my head.

「𝙄𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡.」

Now that there’s a kind of coercion from Xiao Chen, Yoo Tae-jin’s party will have no choice but to take action to get out of the labyrinth, no matter what.

In that case, wouldn’t it be enough for me to move this party, clear the labyrinth within a week, and just take the reward?

「𝘼𝙨 𝙖 𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙨, 𝙞𝙛 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙄 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙓𝙞𝙖𝙤 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚.」

Of course, she won’t just let that happen, but I’m a kind of irregular who knows the truth of this labyrinth.

At least in this Black Forest, even if she’s a special-grade exorcist, it’s impossible for her to be ahead of me.

「𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨.」

I’ll declare it here and now.

A week from now. She’ll forever regret what happened today that allowed me to act freely.

We told Yoo Tae-jin’s party, who had returned after finishing their exploration, about what had happened during the day.

“That’s a big deal. Woo Ki-bum’s party broke the agreement, and now they have a powerful ally.”

“Damn it, those damn guys! Hey, are you hurt anywhere?”

“. . .No, sir. I’m okay. It’s thanks to the kids.”

At Choe Da-in’s words, Jang Han-soo and Choi Tae-gil glared at me with eyes that didn’t seem to believe her easily.

“You’re saying this guy really fought Woo Ki-bum on equal footing? That can’t be right? I hate to admit it, but that guy is really strong.”

“. . .To be honest, I can’t imagine it, but since it came from someone who saw it with their own eyes, it can’t be a complete lie.”

And then, the topic moved on to the next agenda. In fact, this is where things really mattered.

“Her power is beyond imagination, no matter what you think. If she targets us, everyone here will literally be dead.”

“. . .Aren’t you being too assertive?”

“Tch. That’s just nonsense. You must have been so scared that you couldn’t make a proper judgment. In the first place, you don’t even know the leader’s abilities yet.”

Jang Han-soo and Choi Tae-gil expressed their displeasure and sent negative opinions, but I, with my emotional abilities, can make much more accurate judgments than simply guessing with my eyes.

No matter how skilled Yoo Tae-jin is as an exorcist, he would definitely not last 5 minutes if he fought Xiao Chen.

“I know her identity.”

“What?”

“She’s Xiao Chen, a member of the international wanted organization Yahwak. In terms of ability, she’s special-grade. Do you have the confidence to face her?”

“S-Special-grade?”
