“What does that mean… ?”
When he heard me say that he was looking for an executive, he looked at me as if I were truly crazy.
‘Write… ‘The look in your eyes is irreverent.’
“Do you still have the energy to give me those looks?”
Kwasik!
“Off… !”
I roughly stuck the iron thorn I had broken off when I left the trap into his good arm. Now, instead of being a pair, he has both arms damaged equally.
“I know an executive is nearby, so give me a signal to come out.”
“So, what does that mean now… ! The executives didn’t come here! It doesn’t make sense that so many superpowers gather to fight just one hero!”
A guy who screams as if he is being unfairly treated. He had an attitude of firmly believing what he said.
I had no answer so I shook my head.
“So what are you doing now that you’ve given it all to that one person?”
“… … .”
When I attacked him with the fact that something had already happened, he kept his mouth shut like a mute who was just fed up with honey.
There was a good reason for me to question the villain.
This was because a red dot was showing in the field of view that the nanobot planted by Maria was nearby.
I could even know the exact direction and distance.
Roughly 20 meters northeast. It appeared that they were waiting outside the building. I don’t know the exact number of people because it includes the Apostle’s clone, but my rough guess is that it seems to be less than the number of people here.
‘Still, since he has one thing, he must have become an executive.’
I could have burned down the building to see the reaction, but I didn’t do that because I was worried that if the boss guy was here, he might ask questions.
What kind of connection does Kang Hye-won have, is Kang Da-kyung really the boss of the organization, etc.
It doesn’t make sense that the executives didn’t come in person in the first place and only sent people with superpowers. How many hideouts did I burn down, and you sent them to stop me without anyone in charge?
It was clear that such an organization would go bankrupt within a year without my involvement.
“Huh, indeed. Why doesn’t this bitch, who just looks like she has a good haircut, know this?”
I know that the villains are pretty smart in a bad way, but they seemed to be below average in other areas.
Well, that means that even though the awakening of supernatural powers is officially recognized, they still go around committing terrorism in their own countries.
“That… ”
with a splash!
The villain who answered my question plunged his face into the water with a pale complexion, probably because he had lost a lot of blood.
The pouring river had stopped and the water level was slowly lowering, as if there was a gap somewhere in the building. The water was shallow, about knee-deep, but it was deep enough for an injured and unconscious person to drown.
‘At this rate, wouldn’t it be okay to say that he died after sticking his nose in a dish of water?’
If I were in that position, I would not be able to honestly tell King Yeomna in the underworld why I came to him out of shame, and would say that he died from excessive bleeding while fighting fiercely with the hero.
The same was true for other villains who fell around him. He barely survived, but that wouldn’t last long.
I don’t know where the river water came from, but the temperature of the water was quite cold, so it wasn’t an environment where I could be left injured for a long time.
If we do not receive treatment in time, we will all be wiped out.
I shouted into the air.
“So you’re really not going to come out? No matter how low the level is, if you lose this many superpowers, the loss will be severe.”
“… … .”
Warrr~
One wall of the building collapsed, creating a passageway. The water that had accumulated inside the building began to slowly drain through the passage.
I turned my attention away from the small pieces I had knocked down for appetizers and stared out across the aisle I had just created.
A number of villains entered the building, where almost all the water had drained and only a trickle remained, stomping on the slick floor. They were executives of an organization that had been hidden until now without even revealing their noses.
Thanks to the new hole in the wall, the amount of moonlight coming in has increased. Thanks to this, I was able to look at their faces in detail.
‘I know all the faces except for the two of them.’
I nodded. As expected, if the setting was modern times, Maria’s intelligence was the best in the world.
A total of 16 people entered the passage.
First of all, I saw Ice Queen Bae Yeon-hee, a hypnotist whose name I had but forgot, the 11th alter ego of One Tool Apostle, and two villains whose faces I had never seen before.
Ice Queen and Apostle are no threat to me, and hypnosis doesn’t even work.
I don’t know what the other two’s superpowers were, but I wasn’t particularly worried.
‘I guess there’s only one person worth worrying about.’
My eyes lit up when I saw the woman walking in front of them.
‘Kang Da-kyung, who worked under the mask of a hero in Korea.’
Thanks to her telekinetic powers, she finally appeared, using the hero name The Hand. Destroying the wall with such precision also seemed to be the telekinetic power she boasted about.
She was still wearing a suit, just like she had last time when she apprehended a villain throwing strange metal balls, and she was at the head of the group, walking straight toward me.
She opened her mouth as they came within a distance where they could attack each other at any time.
“It’s been a while. Ignis.”
“Okay, it’s been a while. Nice to see you in another country. If I had known you were a villain when I met you, I would have arrested you early.”
Unlike when we first met, Kang Da-kyung used a stiff tone of voice instead of polite language. I guess it’s because I don’t think I need to wear a mask anymore.
Since Maria wasn’t there at the time, I didn’t notice that she was a villain.
I thought he had a sharp attitude simply because his territory was being invaded, but now that I think about it, I think he was trying to cause a disruption because his subordinate villain was arrested.
Da-kyung Kang did not respond to what I said, but just stared at me and asked.
“… How did you know we were watching?”
“Well, it’s a trade secret, should I tell you this? It’s not even our first meeting, so why don’t we tell you something special? I got some help from Apostle.”
“… Apostle?”
Kang Da-kyung’s head turned to the side.
The Apostle’s clones all flinched at that sharp gaze.
“Bullshit… ! boss! What that guy is saying is simple bullying! Don’t be fooled!”
“As expected, you were the boss. It’s been a while, but there has to be someone who can tell me clearly.”
“Wow… !”
“… … .”
Judging by their attitude, it didn’t seem like it was a secret, but maybe they didn’t like me teasing them like this?
Kang Da-kyung raised her arm in the air and clenched her hand.
Kwasik!
And at the same time, one of the Apostle’s clones was twisted and broken, as if a piece of laundry had been twisted.
It was definitely a pretty powerful technique if you look at its power alone.
“It is a punishment for using one’s mouth carelessly. The punishment for bringing Ignis here will be decided after we subdue him and find out the method.”
“Okay… ”
‘Since it regenerates anyway, there’s really no point in punishment, right?’
Sure enough, the distorted and distorted clone slowly returned to its original form like a balloon being inflated.
Anyway, after completing the military demonstration and punishment, she looked at me again.
“We showed up. Where is your helper hiding? Show yourself confidently.”
“Helper?”
“Your superpower that I saw in Korea was clearly controlling fire. But I don’t know how, but you controlled the river. Do you think we didn’t know?
Da-kyung Kang didn’t seem to know that I had used Chosu Dongbaekjang. It appears that he did not look at the internal situation in detail.
I didn’t feel the need to brag about having a helper, so I answered the truth.
“There is no helper?”
“… Are you lying? In the current situation?”
“Roughly think of it as having equipment that allows you to use superpowers. There is something you don’t understand.”
It was an answer that seemed to be ignored even by an ordinary person. If you’re a villain, it’s not strange for you to get angry and jump into battle right away.
But for Kang Da-kyung, those words seemed like a sufficient answer. She opened her mouth, looking as if she had realized something.
“Equipment… ? no way… Is that really true?”
“?”
“The guy called Hero had the same goal as me? Did we achieve enough results to use it in actual combat? This was only possible after we moved to Japan?”
“What… now? ”
“No. According to our previous investigation, you had a strange tendency to be obsessed with Starlight ever since you were in Korea. If so, it means that they were ahead of us from the beginning.”
“What do you know about this?”
Kang Da-kyung seemed to have misunderstood something when she saw me using the Chosoo Dongbaekjang to control water.
She erased her expressionless face and smiled coolly, as if she had discovered a secret I had hidden. It was as if, after a long wait, he had met a friend who shared his embarrassing tastes.
“It’s no use pretending not to know. In the end, don’t you have the same goal as me?”
“So what is that?”
“Extracting the abilities of a psychic and putting them into an object made of starlight. Isn’t that why they monopolize and dominate all superpowers in the world?”
‘what?’
-Eh?
Maria and I were speechless at Kang Da-kyung’s amazing words.
