Chapter 62 – Day 62

Day 62

“What is that?”

“A poor child.”

Cheon Seo-ah, who was dragging the head of the man who had already died and become a cold corpse, answered the agent’s question.

‘A poor child, huh.’

Looking down at the corpse, the agent muttered inwardly.

Come to think of it, what is Cheon Seo-ah’s criteria for a ‘poor child’?

The agent couldn’t understand that criteria.

Thinking about it, even he was like that.

When the agent first met Cheon Seo-ah, he was being chased by an enemy tribe.
Cheon Seo-ah, whom he encountered by chance, called him a ‘poor child’ and helped him gain strength.

Perhaps, the other eight villains are the same.

However, once again, the ‘poor child’ appeared.
This time in the form of a corpse.

The agent, who had been pondering all sorts of worries and thoughts, suddenly stopped thinking.

Not particularly….

‘It probably doesn’t matter.’

There was no need to know the criteria for distinguishing Cheon Seoa’s poor children.

Rather than that.

“What are you going to use that for?”

“I’m going to give it an immortal life. Like that child.”

In response to the agent’s repeated question, Cheon Seoa pointed to the doll standing behind her and spoke.

A doll I’ve never seen before.
So that’s an immortal life.
Will that corpse become like that too?

The agent shuddered as his thoughts reached that point.

In the agent’s eyes.
To the sight of a cultivator who had entered the realm of Original Spirit, something ‘dwelling’ in the doll was glimpsed.

Something writhing in terrible pain, melting here and there.
From it, a horrible scream filled with despair and terror was pouring out.

To think that such a thing is an immortal life.
If so, he would refuse an immortal life….

Brrr-.

“Hm?”

While the Agent was in the middle of his thoughts, suddenly the smartphone in Cheon Seoa’s pocket began to vibrate.

The Agent stopped thinking and looked at Cheon Seoa with a puzzled expression.
Cheon Seoa also looked at the suddenly vibrating smartphone.

“It was a message from that child.”

“That child…?”

“The child without two legs. I believe… he was called Emperor?”

Emperor is the villain who recently created the new Villain Association.

His official rank is 10 stars.
Including the Agent, he’s one of the nine villains of the Illuminati. Furthermore, excluding Cheon Seoa, he could be called the strongest villain on Earth.

Emperor’s combat power is such that, if he wanted to, he could destroy a country in a single night.

But why did Emperor suddenly contact the young lady?

While the Agent was pondering this question, Cheon Seoa said,

“He says he’s prepared a small event to announce the existence of his Villain Association to the world. And he wants me to participate in that event.”

“An event, you say. Is he planning to erase a country or something?”

“Not a country, but he says he’s going to erase a city.”

As she said this, Cheon Seoa showed an incredibly innocent and naive smile.

* * *

The place where Cheon Seoa arrived after tearing through space was an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, where the Villain Association’s headquarters was located.

In the past, this place was Emperor’s private property. Moreover, it was also the location where the executive selection for the newly formed Villain Association had taken place.

Such a Villain Association headquarters greeted Cheon Seoa’s eyes with numerous villains in sight.

However, was it too late despite moving after receiving the contact?
The meeting of villains led by Emperor had already ended.

“Somehow, I feel left out.”

“I apologize for that.”

When the villains filling the surroundings retreated, leaving only Cheon Seoa alone in the vast room.
Behind Cheon Seoa, Emperor appeared sitting in a wheelchair.

“It’s been a while.”

“It has been a while.”

Cheon Seoa and Emperor bowed their heads slightly, greeting each other.

The Agent, who had been quietly observing this scene, spoke.

“So, why did you call the young lady?”

“It’s nothing special. I just wanted her to participate in the first official event of the Villain Association.”

….

As Emperor answered nonchalantly, the Agent’s brow furrowed.

Certainly, there was a need to announce the existence of the Villain Association.
In the world, there were still many who didn’t know about the existence of the Villain Association.
That was no different even among fellow villains.

However.

“Why does the young lady need to participate in that event?”

The Agent asked with cold eyes and an equally cold voice while staring at Emperor.

Emperor swallowed hard, feeling the overwhelming pressure that seemed to weigh down his entire body just from receiving her gaze, and said:

“Well…, isn’t the Empress also an executive of the Villain Association?”

An executive of the Villain Association.

At those words uttered by Emperor, the proxy couldn’t think of anything to refute.

Indeed, Cheon Seoa is ostensibly one of the executives of the Villain Association.

It was strange no matter how you thought about it for an executive of the Villain Association not to participate in an event hosted by the Villain Association.

Nevertheless, as the proxy was trying to think of something to say in rebuttal, it was then that:

“I’m fine with it.”

Cheon Seoa, who had been quietly observing their conversation, said.

It wouldn’t be a big deal to just go out as if taking a light stroll.

Thinking this, Cheon Seoa turned to Emperor and asked:

“So, I just need to keep my seat, right?”

“That’s correct. It’s fine if you just sit in the seat of honor and watch.”

“I understand.”

Cheon Seoa nodded at Emperor’s answer.

The first event to make the existence of the Villain Association known to the world.

The place marked as the sacrificial lamb for this event was the capital of France, Paris.

The number of heroes residing in Paris, France is around 30,000 on average, and their average rank is measured as 6th grade.

Of course, as it’s the capital of a country, there are heroes to be cautious of, but Emperor was confident.

He believed that with the power of the Villain Association he had created himself, they could erase even Paris, the capital of France, from the face of the Earth.

Thus, the total number of villains moving to overthrow Paris, France was 120.

Although the number of villains participating in this event was quite small, considering their average strength was equivalent to 6-star level, they had a sufficient chance of success.

In particular, villains would commit destruction and murder without any hesitation, but heroes were different.

They couldn’t act recklessly like villains.

It was then, when Emperor and about 120 villains were heading to Paris on a massive airplane reminiscent of a transport aircraft.

Glancing furtively.

The villains, each settled in their seats inside the transport, were stealing glances at Cheon Seoa.

However, the types of gazes directed at Cheon Seoa varied.

Villains who knew who Cheon Seoa was, how strong she was, and how cruel her methods were, looked at her with ‘fear’ in their eyes.

Others showed interest in the fact that a young girl like Cheon Seoa was part of the Villain Association.

Some even.

“Hah, is the Villain Association a kindergarten or something? Why is a kid like that here?”

Someone muttered to themselves.
However, considering the volume of the voice and the hostility embedded in it, it was no longer just a mutter.

Moreover, some villains nodded and whispered in agreement with the man who had ‘muttered’ with a hostile voice.

Cheon Seoa also heard their whispers, but she simply kept her eyes closed, not particularly bothered.

How much time had passed like this?

“That damn little brat.”

The man who had first muttered the hostile ‘self-talk’ suddenly stood up and walked towards Cheon Seoa.

It was clear that the man had started the provocation first, but nevertheless, he couldn’t control his own temper at Cheon Seoa’s lack of reaction.

Saying that, the man walked up and stopped in front of Cheon Seoa.

The surrounding villains watched with interest, but some of them tried to distance themselves from Cheon Seoa with terrified expressions.

Meanwhile, the man standing in front of Cheon Seoa spoke.
Or rather, he tried to speak.

Just as the man was about to open his mouth to say something.

Crack-!

“Ugh-!”

A chain appeared out of nowhere, moving like a snake catching its prey, and wrapped around the man’s neck.

The man let out a muffled groan as his throat was suddenly constricted….

“Shit, that was close.”

A woman who created the chain that caught the man’s neck muttered with a sigh of relief.

They had narrowly avoided a situation where all the villains here could have died.
Of course, she didn’t care if all the other villains died, but it would be a different story if that ‘death’ included herself.

So, as soon as she subdued the man who was about to cause trouble, she quickly ran towards Cheon Seoa and bowed her head.

“I apologize, Your Majesty. I will make sure to thoroughly educate this idiot.”

In response to the woman’s apology, Cheon Seoa, who had half-opened her eyes, closed them again.

Meanwhile, the surrounding villains.
Even the man whose neck was being strangled by the chain couldn’t hide their shock, as that harmless and innocent-looking girl turned out to be.

‘That infamous Empress!’

They were terrified, not realizing she was the Empress.
