"They're gone?"
Sansan instinctively felt that was impossible.
After all, those people were supposedly there to protect them, but in reality, they were monitoring them—the gang boss had used the two of them as hostages to keep her brother from acting rashly.
Though Sansan could not see, she understood this better than anyone. But understanding did not help—they could never contend against a group of armed gangsters. All they could do was pretend those people did not exist.
