“I feel better than before. Have you trained again?”

As I was washing my body and changing my clothes again, Cha Hee-ju brushed Kang Chan’s back and asked.

The touch of the woman with whom I had had an intimate relationship just moments ago was very strange.

Did I want to do it one more time?

Despite the strange skinship, Kang Chan spoke calmly.

“You have to train yourself to catch the villain.”

“Hmm, I think I used to say that my own strength was enough.”

“… … .”

“Is it because of that too?”

Kang Chan kept his mouth shut.

There is no need to talk about it.

“That’s right. The only villain that Kang Chan missed.”

“You’re not here to talk about that person right now.”

“That’s right. You mean you need information from Imperno, right?”

“Is it true that you can do it within two days?”

Cha Hee-ju nodded.

“I’ll have to take a break from the store for about a day… … . That’s a lot, compared to what Mr. Kang Chan did today.”

She hugged Kang Chan from behind after he had finished changing his clothes.

“Ha… … . I missed this smell. This smell is a mixture of the heat of a man after rehabilitation and the body wash from our house… … .”

“Stop sticking around.”

“Why do you keep trying to drop me? And again, a respectful word. How long will it be difficult for you? Even if you treat me comfortably like before… … .”

“Because Heeju is not a villain.”

“… … .”

Cha Hee-joo glared at Kang Chan for a moment.

“Then, if I become a villain to get your attention, will you treat me like that again?”

“At that time, they won’t even pay attention.”

“… … Why?”

Kang Chan continued calmly.

“If you became a villain to get my attention, you don’t even have to give me that attention.”

“No matter what I do?”

“Yes. I will definitely come back again just to have a small conversation like this.”

“… … Well, it’s not completely wrong.”

Cha Hee-joo pursed her lips as if she was somewhat upset.

However, Kang Chan, who was standing with his back turned, could not see it.

“And if that really happens, there’s nothing I can do.”

“What is the reason?”

“That villain means that I am someone who cannot be rehabilitated.”

At that time, a more reliable processing method was needed.

Not rehabilitation, but salvation… … .

But that wasn’t what Kang Chan wanted.

He hated and hated villains, but at the same time, killing them meant that he would become just like those villains.

“I guess so.”

“So, I hope Heeju doesn’t end up like that.”

Cha Hee-ju sighed at Kang Chan’s bitter words.

“How could I do something like that? I’m grateful to meet you like this.”

She stood in front of Kang Chan and adjusted his clothes.

“Instead, I come here often when I need it. If I leave it empty for too long, I might really turn black.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Kang Chan knew.

Even if she doesn’t visit often, she won’t go back to being a villain again.

Recalling the memories of that time, even through a play, means that the memories of rehabilitation remain deeply in her mind.

I probably won’t ever go back.

Kang Chan saying this to Cha Hee Joo was also a kind of bait and warning.

A clear warning to her not to return to being a villain.

“But why did Imperno become your target?”

“Nothing much. They made a big fuss, threatening to commit a crime in the district where I work.”

“Ah… … .”

She let out a sigh.

“I feel sorry for that child too.”

“Anyway, please ask.”

“Good. I’ll visit Jijidae in two days.”

“As you wish.”

Cha Hee-ju kissed him on the lips, and Kang Chan did not refuse it.

“How do you think we can catch this son of a bitch?”

Cho Min-woo, the police chief of the Bucheon branch of the Hunter Police, looked at his subordinate officers in the Bucheon branch.

They were all once powerful hunters, and are now the leaders of the Bucheon branch.

However, none of them could come up with a clear solution.

“There is not much information about Imperno.”

“There is also a story that when she saw the diary that caused the incident, she came out of the basement.”

“Uncertain information. Most of the records of what happened last year are testimonies from nearby citizens. In the end, it is meaningless to investigate based on records of cases that could not be caught.”

“Then is there any other solution?”

“How about a three-person team of two regular police officers and one hunter police officer to conduct periodic searches of the surrounding area?”

“What era are you in now that you come up with such outdated ideas?”

It’s noisy with useless talk.

I wasn’t here to just watch them discuss amongst themselves.

Quang!

“Stop!”

All the executives present closed their mouths at Jo Min-woo’s words mixed with mana.

Although he has now retired from the front line, he was still one of the top ten men in the Seoul-Gyeonggi area.

The power contained in his words was enough to subdue everyone in this place.

The noblemen who were active in their careers just 5 years ago are now getting into politics just because their butts have become a bit heavy.

‘It was never like this 10 years ago when monsters came pouring in from all directions.’

They were people who gathered together with the belief that they would save humanity.

However, now there is confidence that humanity will not perish and it has been confirmed that it is safe.

Having become police hunters who deal with villains, they were busy taking care of their own interests rather than the greater good.

“I definitely gave you three days! But what came out? Search the basement and search periodically? Are you saying that’s the solution?”

Veterans who followed the rules and executives who held high positions should have come with a more concrete solution.

This is not a watermelon-snapping type of administration.

“I’ll give you one day. If you don’t bring information about Imperno as well as a proper defense plan, then everyone here will think you’re the same.”

Everyone fell silent at the growling words of Superintendent Cho Min-woo.

“Okay.”

Everyone present bowed their heads.

At least here, no one was upset by his words.

“Get out now! Because I don’t want to see it!”

When everyone left, Jo Min-woo sighed.

What should I do?

Even I felt like I had lost my place.

“No answer.”

***

Two days have passed since I asked Cha Hee-ju for information about Imperno.

Kang Chan was concentrating on his work as usual.

Of course, it was a job with a bit of fun added.

Still, I tend to focus on basic tasks because sometimes I have to show myself working hard so I don’t get criticized later when I miss out.

“Inspector Kang, would you like a cup of coffee?”

Captain Park Du-yeol asked, gesturing with his hand.

Even though Park Du-yeol had left work early during the emergency work system, Park Du-yeol’s liking for him seemed to have not changed.

He continued to pretend to know Kang Chan and spoke to him first as if he was a friend.

Now I even invited him to drink coffee with me.

Maybe it’s because of the fact that they caught puppet master Park Eun-young together.

Kang Chan didn’t just hate it either.

“But even with the emergency work system, it’s not as big of a deal as I thought. All you have to do is be a little more vigilant anyway. Patrolling also suits my taste. Haha!”

“Is that so?”

“Ah, of course, thanks to the puppeteer we caught together, we might be able to make him do a little less work. Haha!”

“We caught it. Inspector Park caught it.”

“Ah, didn’t we go out on patrol together? And the Seontop at the time was Inspector Kang. I didn’t go up first and catch him myself, but he confessed… … . We caught it together. Isn’t that right? We’re partners now, right?”

“Partner?”

“Yes, we got caught, but didn’t we catch them together? Hahaha!”

Park Du-yeol said with a kind smile.

“Well, now that I think about it, I heard that the puppet master’s sentence has been decided.”

“How much do you get?”

“4 months or something… … . Both Yu Myeong-hwa and that puppeteer, the sentences are really short. Isn’t it?”

“Well, the Hunter police did it, so it can’t be helped. But it took sooner than expected?”

Inspector Park shrugged his shoulders.

“Yes, they said they agreed to beat him lightly because he had no intention of resisting, confessed, and had no intention of returning to being a villain in the future.”

“I see.”

“Hunter I heard you won’t join the police force? He says he has work to do.”

“Is that so?”

Was this not the reaction he expected?

Park Du-yeol continued speaking as if he was amazed.

“Isn’t it interesting? How do you know that you have no will to go back? … . As an ordinary person, I have no way of knowing… … .”

Park Doo-yeol, who was speaking, seemed to be possessed by something, looking somewhere with a mesmerized expression.

“Wow… … . Inspector Kang, look behind you.”

“Back?”

“A wonderful woman is coming to Earth. My heart is no joke.”

Kang Chan turned his head and looked back.

It was Cha Hee-joo.

“Wow, she’s such a beauty… … . What do you think brought you here? Judging by the nice expression on his face, it doesn’t seem like he came here for some incident. Does his boyfriend work here? It can’t be like that.”

It was then.

“Mr. Kang Chan!”

Cha Hee-joo waved her hand and called Kang Chan’s name, and at that moment, Park Du-yeol’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.

“How much?”

Park Du-yeol looked at her in disbelief at her appearance.

Kang Chan greeted Cha Hee-joo with her gaze.

“Are you here?”

“You said you could come to Earth University. So I came here. How do you feel?”

She was dressed in an outfit similar to the one she wore at the flower shop.

Light blue long skirt and blouse.

The only difference is that the blouse that makes the breasts stand out especially catches the eye.

“It suits you well.”

It was then.

“Ah, hello! Nice to meet you! Ho, are you by any chance Inspector Kang Chan’s girlfriend?”

“Hello. Not my girlfriend… … . A close friend from the neighborhood?”

“Ah, aha! okay. Haha, my name is Captain Park Doo-yeol, and my hobby is… … .”

“Now, Captain, talk about that later.”

Kang Chan stopped Park Du-yeol, who was about to rush forward.

“Well, can I borrow Mr. Kang Chan for a little bit?”

“Ah… … . Well, it’s business hours right now… … .”

“It only takes 10 minutes.”

Park Du-yeol nodded as if he understood something at her words.

It seemed like there was a misunderstanding, but Kang Chan didn’t bother to correct the misunderstanding.

“That will be okay. Let me tell you.”

Park Du-yeol, who surprisingly gave permission easily, nodded and tapped Kang Chan on the shoulder.

“I will support you.”

He had the face of a broken man.

After Park Du-yeol left, Cha Hee-ju handed out a yellow document envelope to Kang Chan.

“Take it. This is the information I wanted.”

“Is this Imperno?”

“Yes. All of her information, including her appearance, photos, and age, is written down.”

“I don’t think I just scraped information from the internet… … .”

“The Internet is deeper and wider than you think. Hehehe. The same goes for internal intranets. For example, the intranet of the organization she belongs to.”

“I understand.”

When Kang Chan nodded, she smiled.

“If you are satisfied, please come to our store later.”

“Is there any information to keep in mind?”

“Hmm… … . It won’t be as easy to rehabilitate as you think.”

“Is it because of ability?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm… … . If that’s the case, it’ll be okay.”

Kang Chan accepted the document envelope she held out.

I’ll have to read the details at home.

It was then.

“Then before I go back… … .”

Cha Hee-ju, who held Kang Chan’s hand and dragged him to a quiet place next to the building, attacked Kang Chan’s mouth.

She forcibly grabbed Kang Chan’s hand and put it into her sleeve.

The soft breasts were captured as is.

At that time, Kang Chan felt it.

That she’s wearing a nude, strapless bra.

The nude bra attached like a patch fell off, and I held her bare breasts in my hands.

“Ha, ha, I’m really going crazy. What should I do?”

She looked at Kang Chan with a sad face.

“Heeju, this is my workplace.”

“Kang Chan also came to my workplace and had sex with me.”

“That and this are different.”

“Then… … . Give me one more kiss before you leave.”

It was fortunate that no one was watching.

If you get caught like this, rumors will spread.

He’s a nuisance officer who does lewd things while on the job.

“Okay.”

Another deep kiss.

This was a reward given to her for successfully completing the mission.

“Ha, ha. Please come visit us once you have safely captured Imperno. Because you always have the information you want.”

And she left.

After Cha Hee-ju left, Kang Chan realized too late that her flower shop business card was in his back pocket.

On the back of the business card is a kiss mark made with her light pink lipstick.

-I’m waiting now.

-Your eternal source of information.

Her handwritten message was written on it.

And when he returned to the district office, there was Park Du-yeol looking at him with an envious look.
