You said you’d collect money regardless of the means and methods from now on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Yeongwoo formed a gun shape with his index finger and thumb and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It gives them some breathing room before I start taking money in earnest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the Laser Canon is completed, I plan to ask for defence funds.
