Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 173
Every time the pitch-black darkness revealed the bright blue glare of a beast’s eyes, the man buried in the forest wailed in terror, tears and snot streaming down his face.
“Go away! I told you to go away! Aaargh!”
It was none other than Pastor Kim, the head of the prayer retreat.
Even after losing the billions he’d received from Yeon Hwa, Director Kim couldn’t quit gambling. As his debts mounted, the loan sharks running the gambling dens had dragged him out here and buried him alive in the mountains to scare him straight.
[“Our Director Kim, we thought you could breathe some fresh mountain air for a week, cool your head, and reflect a bit.”]
But the thugs didn’t know that Kim’s source of money had already dried up.
Even if he’d been so consumed by gambling that he’d lost touch with the world, Director Kim couldn’t possibly miss the news that Kang Hye Sun had returned alive—after all, it was all anyone talked about, even on the old, run-down TV in the cheap boarding house where he’d been staying. Now that Kang Hye Sun was back safe and sound, he no longer had the nerve—or the hope—to ask Ji Yeon Hwa for more money.
If he couldn’t repay the debt, they’d take his organs instead!
It was already the fourth night since they’d buried him neck-deep in the earth, relentlessly tormented by the terror of wild beasts and imminent death.
Then, far off in the distance, a flashlight beam appeared. Since the thugs had said they wouldn’t return for a week, Director Kim assumed it must be a hiker and screamed with all his might:
“Help! Someone’s here! Save me!”
Thankfully, after squeezing out every last ounce of strength to shout, he saw the light slowly approaching.
“Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord!”
Making sure heaven itself would hear him, Pastor Kim cried out loudly,
“Please, someone save me! These gangsters kidnapped an innocent citizen and buried me like this… Haaargh!”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
