—I…….

Ha Tae-ung's voice, coming through the principal's speakerphone.

It is a scene taking place in Cheonghwa High School's foundation chairman's office.

At the meeting room where the parents' meeting is being held, the head of academic affairs had been secretly on a call with the principal.

The foundation chairman and the principal bent their ears to what came through the speakerphone.

Their breath caught as though a hand had taken them by the throat.

A three-cornered contest between the pupil Ha Tae-ung, president Ju Miju and chief Go Mihui.

It is no ordinary quarrel.

The site of an invisible collision of power between group and group.

Gu Jayeon, foundation chairman of the Cheonghwa foundation, gripped her fists tight.

The force of attack and defence held in the words going back and forth is taut.

At present it is Go Mihui's one-sided victory.

Ju Miju had changed her target of attack to Ha Tae-ung and An Hyeonju.

With Ha Tae-ung's switch into a defensive posture, he had collided with Ju Miju.

What is it he means to do, and how?

Ha Tae-ung's next line of attack, which will not be an easy one.

She pricked up her listening ears.

And in that moment.

—I will break you to pieces. Not only you, ma'am, but every last thing that stands in front of me……. On the name of the Ha family, without fail.

"……!!"

Ha Tae-ung's declaration of war, spat out in a composed voice.

—Wh— what? Ma'am? You dare break me? Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho hoht.

Ju Miju, her eyes turned over, burst into a mad laugh.

—Cast out as you are, and the Ha family? Do you think that fussy Chairman Ha Cheolgon would allow a thing like this? I wonder whether he even knows what you are up to? Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho.

Ju Miju, provoking him with a wicked light in her eyes.

She's mad.

Ju Miju had crossed the line.

Whatever anybody says, that is the Ha family's own business.

With Ju Miju's remark for a pretext, nobody knows…
