Saaa.
The atmosphere around cools down coldly at the words I uttered.
Especially the reaction of the old man in front, Mu Yeon, was unusual.
“You mean conditions.”
The answer is felt through his gaze.
His eyes are telling me if that’s even a reasonable thing to say.

To be able to act autonomously without listening to commands here means.
‘They’re giving me the authority to ignore them outright.’
It meant I could…
