"One last question."
Hi Dog dug out a booger and flicked it in front of Kim Hye-ji. "With fewer than a thousand Awakened, what makes you think you can fight the Inverted Cross?"
Mercenaries were born specifically for war.
It wasn't just Hi Dog who didn't believe it. Probably everyone doubted whether this operation could succeed.
