"The president is expecting you.”

"Do I look like a failure?”

“Haha. Your expression is aggressive. He just expects you to return to your original position.”

“...”

Yura couldn’t say that this would never happen. Her tightly closed coral lips showed no signs of shaking and the middle-aged man bowed deeply before leaving.

Yura was reminded of the meeting with her grandfather three months ago.

"Let’s end this child’s prank and come home. It is enough to play for five years.”

"It isn’t a joke or playing around. Grandfather, don’t you know that Satisfy is a business dominating the world?”

"The business is done by those who created and are operating Satisfy. You are just one player. It is ridiculous if your pride is based on the tens of billions of won you earned as a player. You are just one of the billions of components making up the S.A Group.”

One part. A consumable that could be replaced by anyone. Yura didn’t deny it. She wasn’t Grid or Kraugel. She had realized a long time ago that she wasn’t a special person. This didn’t mean she intended to give up easily.

Home was a place where she couldn’t breathe. It was a cold and scary place. At her parents’ funeral, she couldn’t even see anyone’s tears.

‘Isn’t this better? My granddaughter is a thousand times better than my stupid son.’

She still vividly remembered these words from the funeral. It was the voice of her grandfather.

“Being my successor is far better than your current situation in terms of both wealth and honor. Don’t waste any more time and come back.”

“I don’t want to.”

“My grandfather’s grandfather founded this house and it was built up by all his descendants, including me. If it doesn’t follow the legitimate line, who will it go to? You can’t escape. Drop your futile stubbornness.”

"There is my cousin. I hope you can stop your obsession with me. I’m serious, Grandfather.”

"You want me to entrust it to that fool? Do you mean to throw away the family? Then I should take it as the responsibility of your parents, who gave birth to a scandalous person like you.”

“Huh?”

Why was he bringing up people who had died all of a sudden? The old man smiled at his confused granddaughter. "I will take you out of the family register. On the day you depart for China, I will dig up the graves of your parents buried on my land and throw them into the river.”

"Grandfather, they are your son and daughter-in-law.”

“It doesn’t matter since they are already dead.”
