Jean couldn’t help but keep pressing. “You said before that you joined the Abyssal Choir because you owed someone a favor-”
“Was it that person who told you to protect me?”
The boy shook his head, answering each word clearly. “No.”
His dark eyes locked onto Jean. “As for who.exactly gave the order… I can’t say. It’s classified.”
Jean realized Ludwig wouldn’t tell her and wisely dropped the subject.
She needed to sort through this carefully.
Which meant, most likely, the entire Abyssal Choir organization–including Ludwig–had no idea she even existed at first.
The only person who knew about her was the one who gave Ludwig the protection order.
Unfortunately, Ludwig was staying tight–lipped about it.
Her place in the Abyssal Choir remained a total mystery. It looked like she would have to wait until the upcoming meeting to try to uncover the truth.
Wait-
Jean’s eyes suddenly lit up. She turned her sharp gaze on Ludwig. “You just said that most people in the organization don’t even know me. Then why do I have to attend this meeting? Wouldn’t it be fine if I didn’t show up?”
Ludwig lifted his lips slightly. “They know I’m protecting someone. They figured it’s a good opportunity to bring you along so everyone can meet you.”
Jean:…
Well, that was a ridiculously simple and crude reason.
“And you didn’t refuse?” Jean raised an eyebrow.
The corner of Ludwig’s lips curved up slightly. “Why would I refuse? Think of it as a new trial for you. You’ll get to meet some interesting characters… You were going to have to meet them eventually anyway.”
Jean didn’t say anything more.
After a moment of silence, she asked, “By the way, when is this meeting?”
“This weekend. I’ll come pick you up then,” Ludwig said, patting Jean lightly on the shoulder as if telling her
not to worry.
“What the heck…” Jean muttered, pouting a little. “The way you rushed back here, ignoring your injuries, I

Jean suddenly thought the boy standing in front of her seemed a little… dense.
“Couldn’t you have just used the badge to contact me?” she asked, half exasperated, half amused.

Ludwig raised an eyebrow slightly. “Wouldn’t have been as fast. Besides, you’re surrounded by people–it wouldn’t have been convenient to call.”
That was true.
This boy’s speed really was something else.
By now, Ludwig had already moved to the window. He turned back, his black eyes as dark and deep as ink. “I’m heading back. Get ready.”
Ready?
She had to prepare just to attend a meeting?
Could there be some unexpected challenge waiting at this meeting?
Jean couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a hidden meaning in the boy’s words.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Wait… is this meeting going to be dangerous?”
The boy’s dark eyes glimmered slightly, and his voice dropped into a tone full of hidden meaning. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
With that, Ludwig vanished from Jean’s sight like a gust of wind.
That guy… Was he seriously still recovering from heavy injuries?
Jean once again reevaluated Ludwig’s combat strength.
The Abyssal Choir’s routine meeting was set for the weekend.
Suddenly, a thought crossed Jean’s mind.
She paced over to the bed and sat down instinctively at the edge, her brows knitting together.
At the meeting, she would inevitably face the organization’s other core members.
Those people would surely be on the same level as Ludwig–heavy hitters.
She had gotten away with using “memory loss” as an excuse with Ludwig, but would the others buy it?
Ludwig might believe her, but if the others in Abyssal Choir discovered she was a fraud…
What would she be facing then?
