I had made the proposal, but I did not know whether Dominic would accept.
I might be forced to repeat death and revival again.
This time… I did not think I would endure it.
Merely remembering the pain made my body tremble like a Pavlovian response.
And yet I was considering remaining beside the entity who had given me such an experience.
Captain Mo would undoubtedly curse me if she ever learned of it.
This time, Captain Kwak might join her.
I wanted to laugh, but lacked the strength.
Weakly chuckling only inside my head, I waited for Dominic’s decision.
“Mr. Gunbam, you….”
There was something peculiar in his gaze.
It was difficult to interpret as either positive or negative.
If I had to describe it, curiosity seemed the closest word.
“You never cease to surprise me.”
His judgment was ambiguous.
The inscrutable words made me anxious.
‘Are you accepting or refusing?’
If he intended to sentence me to death, I wished he would say so quickly.
At least then I could prepare myself.
‘Does he want the contract?’
But Dominic reached no conclusion and merely continued looking down at me.
‘Or not?’
