Jiho's eyes glinted with a hint of mischief as she addressed the village chief, her smile carrying a touch of wickedness.
"Isn't this what you want?" Her words were laced with subtle accusation, challenging the chief's authority and intentions.
The village chief's face contorted with anger, his features darkening visibly. He stared back at Jiho with a mix of disbelief and fury, his voice quivering with restrained rage.
"This... Are you blackmailing us?" His fists clenched involuntarily, the papers in his hand crumpling under the pressure of his grip.
Jiho's smirk widened slightly, a flicker of amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Blackmail? Don't you ask me to give you guys whatever I have that belongs to the village? Well then, here it is." Her tone was nonchalant yet tinged with a sharp edge
The elders observing Jiho's interaction with the village chief were taken aback by his unusually aggressive demeanor.
