Inside the small cafe near the cathedral, which was devoid of both customers and the owner, Se-Hoon gazed at Gregory.0

Sitting across from Se-Hoon, Gregory took off his sunglasses and sipped his jet-black coffee with a weary expression. He looked more mentally drained than physically exhausted.0

“It seems you have been quite busy,” Se-Hoon said, beginning the conversation.0

“I didn’t really have much choice with a case like this at hand. Looks like I’ll be pulling all-nighters for the next few days.”0

Seeing the bitter smile on Gregory’s face, Se-Hoon gave him a sympathetic look.0

As a former S-rank hero, Gregory could easily go without sleep for weeks. However, that didn’t mean he was immune to fatigue. Moreover, considering that the cases he handled didn’t just concern the Heroes Association but also had global ramifications, the stress he would need to endure was bound to accumulate.0

“Hmm… if a brilliant student were to lend a hand…”0

“I’m sorry.”0

“…Well, yeah. I wouldn’t have accepted it either if I were you.”0

Gregory took another sip of coffee, his expression laced with bitterness. 0

Seeing that, Se-Hoon awkwardly changed the subject.0

“Thank you for handling this case smoothly.”0
