"Is this for real?"

Jeong-eun Lee set a newspaper down in front of Tak-hyeon Lee as she spoke.

The spread laid open in the paper carried a projected map of the Big Deal among the five major groups.

"You're really putting forward Ilhyeon Power?"

Jeong-eun looked around at her other siblings seated there and said,

"Brothers. Say something. Am I the only one who finds this strange?"

"All right, so sit down first. Let's sit and talk about it."

Mun-jong Lee tried to calm Jeong-eun.

Having said that, Jeong-eun looked back at Mun-jong.

She was sending him a look that meant he should add his voice to her opinion.

Mun-jong, too, caught the meaning of Jeong-eun's gaze and opened his mouth.
