But the man, as if money wasn't his goal from the start, began to act even more wildly. He even went as far as to lie down on the ground and cause more of a scene.

Simon growled in a low voice.

"Kyaaak!"
Everything happened in an instant. Melissa Hyun, who had suddenly barged into the villa, grabbed the knife that had been neatly placed on the dining table and began to wave it threateningly towards Ellie.
"W-Wait a moment... I-I'll call the police...!!"
"The police? Go ahead and call them if you dare."
Ellie's face turned even paler as she faced Melissa alone in the spacious villa. Although her mind was in a daze from the sudden turn of events, there was only one thought filling her head.
'I must save Namu... I have to protect her...'
Ellie, in a state of panic, kept pleading with Melissa.
