Ch.615Chapter 23. Patriotic General Do Ji-hwan (19)

Suppressing evil with maternal love.

I called it the Samshin Grandmother Meta, but in the end, what matters is love.

The process is simple.

1. Subdue the female villain.

2. After restraining her, make her “unable to use her powers,” and confine her.

3. Make her fall in love with her caretaker.

4. ….

5. A year later, the villain gives birth to a child who looks just like her and says, “From now on, I’ll do my best for this child.”

Isn’t it quite simple?

We just need to become Cupids who connect the bridge of love.

Although it may take time for them to be confined and restrained until they reflect on and repent for the evil within their hearts, such evil can be purified through “love.”

A woman who loves a man too much will change her own personality, or even if she can’t change completely, she’ll put on an act of “pretense” by burying it deep in her heart.

Then who is the target of this pretense?

That process itself could truly be called a “lottery.”

[Let me introduce you. This is the National Tavern Owners Association. The Seoul headquarters.]

After restraining the three villains, the “Peach Sisters,” in a secret Syndicate bunker beneath an unmanned motel near Uijeongbu, I brought two heroes to the headquarters managed by the Syndicate.

“What is this place…?”

“Just looking at it, it seems like an insurance company office.”

[It’s where tavern owners gather to work. Various kinds of work.]

The spacious building has dozens of cubicle desks spread out, with tavern owners in hanbok sitting at each office.

[There are many things they do here, but simply put, it’s similar to what leeches do. Different purposes and results, though.]

“Are they like a comment brigade…?”

[No. Comment brigades move organizationally, but what these people do is just community fandom. The only difference is they get paid for it.]

There’s a big difference.

[Leeches would swarm specific sites according to orders to manipulate public opinion. One person posts something, others recommend it, send it to the best posts section, and report or delete comments that disagree with the post’s ideas. Typical opinion manipulation, right?]

“Yes. Leeches did that for money.”

[What these people do is different. They just browse communities they want, monitor internet opinion, and try to be ‘internet scholars’ as much as possible.]

They’re called tavern owners, but they’re essentially keyboard warriors.

[The Syndicate has offices like this all over the country, and they find and report people who write strange nonsense on the internet. Want to see?]

I asked permission from a tavern owner with my Syndicate Watch and pointed at her monitor.

[Like that.]

-I want to stroke the Goblin’s club ┌(┌^o^)┐

The community the tavern owner was accessing was an internet cafe, and the background was filled with suspiciously many red roses.

[When they see things like that, they immediately report it to get it deleted.]

“She’s not reporting it though?”

“Why is she suddenly typing like… Oh.”

-The Lord of Radiant Wings attacking while stroking the Goblin’s club…hehehe….

-> A Goblin being a Sura? That’s impossible. Goblins are offensive types^^

-> Ugh, go away, disgusting Goblin-shipper. Blocked.

[…Well, they collect PDFs while arguing like that.]

All data on the internet is stored on servers, and the stored data is deleted after a certain period.

-September XX, 2025, 19:23, username … left the above comment. #ALPES #BL #LordOfRadiantWingsxGoblin

But if you save moments of malice expressed toward someone as PDFs and archives, it will surely become a formidable weapon someday.

[They record moments of crimes that people casually commit on the internet. It helps process things quickly and efficiently when the person concerned files a lawsuit, but primarily it’s to prevent them from being attacked when they search their own name.]

“I see. Oh, it’s gone. It was reported and immediately deleted.”

“If other tavern owners come and report… If it works like this, there would be almost no one cursing Syndicate members in communities.”

[That’s not it.]

I corrected Thunder Empress’s misunderstanding.

[The National Tavern Owners Association doesn’t protect the Syndicate.]

“…Then who?”

[Obviously, heroes and ability users.]

“Ah….”

Both seemed greatly shocked.

Perhaps because they realized that all the slander and insults directed at them that aren’t visible in internet spaces are thanks to these people’s efforts, there was gratitude in their eyes as they looked at the tavern owners.

[Currently, they mainly curse Haeguneul, defend heroes who retired due to pregnancy during World Cup preparations, report people who use foul language, and collect data on accounts that sexually harass others. That’s their job.]

“When you say job… does that mean they get paid?”

[Of course. If I were truly passionate about community activities, I’d probably be sitting right there posting bait.]

Working 9-6 posting positive comments while browsing communities for 500,000 won a month after tax?

And not even limited to specific communities, just doing what you want?

And when the malicious comments or archived materials you collect later lead to lawsuits or cases, they even identify the collector’s name and give additional compensation?

I’d wear that armband on my arm right now.

“Um, Manager Do?”

[Yeah?]

“Then among the materials those people have collected… there must be those kinds of things about us too, right?”

[Even if you know they exist, I have no intention of showing them to you, but there are countless.]

Insults, sexual harassment, family insults, photoshopped images, and so on.

The tavern owners exist to remove such things.

[Thanks to the disappearance of leeches, a cleaner network environment will be created. Of course, they don’t just browse communities. When important situations arise, they stop browsing communities and collect data.]

When an incident occurs, these people collect all the related materials.

[They search for information, ask acquaintances, or check posts that come up in real-time while browsing communities.]

“Don’t they get visually traumatized doing that…?”

[They’ve become used to it. And what those people post isn’t a big problem for them.]

Because most of the tavern owners here are “middle-aged women.”

They cooperate with the Syndicate for various reasons, but fundamentally, they’re middle-aged women.

[Old men and old women are nothing to them. Rather, they like when such things are posted. Those get special bonuses paid on the same day per case.]

5,000 won bonus for each deletion of an “old hag” post.

The Syndicate is doing its best for a healthy internet community environment.

[Now, let’s reveal the real purpose of coming here. Just a moment. Ah. Goblin Order. The directive area is ‘Samshin Grandmother Project’.]

I manipulated my Syndicate Watch to issue a “directive” to the National Tavern Owners Association.

[We’re starting “matchmaking” now.]

“!!”

The atmosphere in the office changed completely.

[The targets are three S-class ability users just captured. Ages 22, 21, and 20. Physical enhancement-type ability users. If there’s any flaw, it’s that they’re Chinese. Yes. The Peach Sisters. They were caught trying to commit terrorism in Uijeongbu three hours ago.]

The tavern owners started whispering among themselves.

The only issue is that they’re “Chinese,” but in the face of the title “S-class ability user,” race isn’t a big problem.

[All three can speak Korean fluently. Enough to call Goblin “this bastard, that bastard.” So the man doesn’t need to speak Chinese.]

“!!”

[We plan to hire a new man as the underground caretaker of the unmanned motel in Uijeongbu. Since there are three of them, it would be good to have three men. If you know any decent bachelors to ‘recommend,’ find them and recommend them immediately.]

Just grabbing anyone and brainwashing them to fall in love with that man isn’t true love.

[Although they’re S-class, they won’t be able to resist as ability users. Investigate the three women’s data, understand their tendencies, and find the men they’re ‘most likely to fall for.’ Men they could fall in love with even while being confined.]

Kidnapping and confinement?

For someone imprisoned for committing crimes, isn’t it already a luxury to fall in love with a decent man?

That’s not a big problem.

[Any kind of man is fine. But, someone who will receive the love of an S-class female ability user. If some trash trying to be ‘Do Ji-hwan’ appears, they could become demons, so a devoted person who only looks at one woman would be most suitable.]

They’re making some indescribable expressions at me from behind, but I’m only having an adulterous devotion because I can handle it at least.

If they try to be like Do Ji-hwan and the villains we’re trying to reform through love end up becoming demons, it would all be for nothing.

[I hope you’ll make recommendations on your own. The Syndicate will provide special compensation to those whose recommendations are selected.]

The tavern owners start to light up with enthusiasm.

Indeed, when money is involved, humans become passionate about anything.

[Well, I wonder if money is even necessary.]

And the easiest way to mobilize middle-aged women in Korea is one thing.

[Since they’ll be getting S-class ability user daughters-in-law.]

“!!!”

[That’s all. The deadline is one week from now.]

The tavern owners all started typing on their keyboards at once.

Each picking up their phones, searching for data, setting aside what they were doing, and focusing on “finding grooms.”

[Whoever it is, they’ve hit the jackp… Huh?]

Inside the office, one of the middle-aged tavern owners in her 40s raised her hand.

Other tavern owners looked at her with pale faces, showing anxiety.

[Do you have a question?]

“Um, Ma-Ma-Manager Do…sir! You didn’t tell us the most important information! Information we can’t know!”

[What is it?]

“Are they women with male experience?”

[……That is indeed the most important information.]

Information that can’t be obtained on the internet, or can be obtained but would immediately make one’s mind hazy if obtained.

[I’ll check on that.]

Later.

The project was named “Marry an S-class Virgin.”
