Chapter 50 – Day 50

Day 50

“It’s an honor to meet the founders of Illuminati, the pinnacle of all villains.”

The person who faced the nine villains and Cheon Seoa as they disembarked from the chartered plane was a woman.

She was dressed neatly, almost like a secretary, to which the representative frowned and said.

“Where is the Emperor?”

“The Master is waiting at the mansion.”

“Ha-.”

The woman answered the representative’s question.
At this, Hyeolrangje let out a hollow laugh and growled.

“The world may revere him as Emperor or such, but does he really think he’s an actual emperor?”

“I apologize. The Master also wanted to greet you all personally, but…”

The woman trailed off.

Although she didn’t say everything, the nine villains seemed to understand what she wanted to say and nodded.

By the way.

“Who is this…?”

The woman’s eyes, full of curiosity, now turned towards Cheon Seoa.

Who is this girl to be accompanying the nine villains of Illuminati?

The woman pondered this thought internally.

The girl reflected in her eyes, Cheon Seoa, was somewhat peculiar.

Her age couldn’t be more than 20, even if you tried to estimate it generously.
Her two eyes contained a deep abyss as if they would absorb all the surrounding light. However, no emotion could be found in those eyes.

‘Is this a toy of one of the nine villains of Illuminate?’

It was the moment when the woman thought this again to herself.

“If you don’t want to die, it’s better not to harbor such thoughts again. Just because you’re Emperor’s subordinate doesn’t mean Emperor will be responsible for your life.”

Grrrr-.

The Blood Wolf, who had transformed into a humanoid blood wolf at some point, spoke to the woman with a fierce growl.

Despite feeling her mind go blank from the killing intent flowing from the Blood Wolf, the woman forcibly bowed her head.

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

“Tsk. Stupid woman. Just lead the way.”

The Blood Wolf, instantly changing from a humanoid blood wolf to a human form, clicked his tongue, and the woman moved cautiously.

Thus, Cheon Seoa, heading towards the large mansion located in the center of the uninhabited island along with the nine villains.

“I guess it’s because they’re villains, but everyone’s individuality is more than sufficient, it’s overflowing.”

Glancing furtively at herself.
No, to be precise, Cheon Seoa, who was observing the villains who were stealthily looking at her, surrounded protectively by the nine villains, said.

Indeed, it was exactly as Cheon Seoa said.

The fact that they were on this uninhabited island was proof that they were villains who had gained enough notoriety worldwide to receive Emperor’s invitation.

And, villains of that caliber usually have their own unique characteristics.

For example….

“Was that child… a clown?”

Not far away, Cheon Seoa pointed at a villain juggling sharp daggers and bombs that looked like they would explode at the slightest touch.

The villain Cheon Seoa pointed at, the Clown, was not only juggling but also dressed in attire fitting his villain name.

Additionally, the villain known as the ‘Dismantler’ was dressed like a butcher, with clothes stained with blackened blood all over.

The villain called the Spearman was wearing neat black martial arts clothing as if he had jumped out of a wuxia novel, holding a long spear with a black dragon engraved on it in one hand.

The villain known as the Necromancer was accompanied by undead creatures he had created himself.

Various other villains were scattered around the island, each clearly displaying their unique characteristics, which Cheon Seoa found quite entertaining to observe.

After spending some time observing all sorts of villains while moving around.

“Then I’ll be going now.”

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, the woman who had been guiding them bowed her head and disappeared in an instant.

It was as if she was saying, ‘This is as far as I can guide you.’

“Tsk, I’d like to tear them all to pieces and kill them.”

Blood Emperor muttered, clicking his tongue softly.

The numerous villains they had passed on their way here.
They were all surprised that the Illuminati had accepted the Emperor’s invitation.

At the same time, they were looking at Cheon Seoa, who was among them, with eyes full of curiosity.

No, if they had simply looked at Cheon Seoa with curious eyes, Blood Emperor wouldn’t have been this angry.

The reason for Blood Emperor’s anger.
And the reason why the other villains sympathized with Blood Emperor’s anger.

The reason was simpler than expected.

It was because their gazes towards Cheon Seoa contained more than just curiosity.

Among them, the villain who particularly gave off an irritating gaze was a Chinese villain called ‘Pervert’.

“How about it, can’t we at least tear that bastard to shreds?”

“I’m fine. And as a guest, I can’t cause trouble for the island’s owner.”

“Haa-.”

Hearing Cheon Seoa’s nonchalant response, Hyeolrangje let out a deep sigh.

Although Hyeolrangje was willing to do anything for the young lady, her occasional behavior of seeming to transcend everything approached the violent-natured Hyeolrangje as ‘a bit of dissatisfaction’.

Noticing Hyeolrangje’s dissatisfaction, Cheon Seoa smiled gently and said while softly stroking Hyeolrangje’s head.

“Besides, there’s no need for you to get your hands dirty with that filthy blood directly. I’ve already taken measures in my own way.”

What does that mean?

Feeling Cheon Seoa’s gentle touch on his head, Hyeolrangje looked at her with incomprehensible eyes.

However, Cheon Seoa didn’t say anything in response to Hyeolrangje’s questioning gaze…

“Welcome.”

Just as Hyeolrangje was about to ask Cheon Seoa ‘What measures did you take?’, the mansion door opened and an elderly butler appeared.

“Tch.”

Having missed the timing, Hyeolrangje clicked his tongue lowly and glared at the innocent butler.

Suddenly receiving Hyeolrangje’s violent, fierce, and ominous gaze, the butler flinched and trembled.

Fear rising from deep within his heart paralyzes his reason.
His body, beyond the control of his brain, trembles uncontrollably, and all strength leaves his body as if he might collapse if someone were to lightly touch him.

As his heart, which had been pounding madly, gradually slows down to the point of stopping.

[Stop being stubborn and come in now.]

A voice filled with a powerful presence flowed from inside the mansion.
At that, the Blood Wolf Emperor withdrew his killing intent, and the butler who had been driven to the brink of death sat down heavily, breathing roughly.

“Tsk.”

The Blood Wolf Emperor clicked his tongue softly.
The rest of the villains passed by the butler who was still breathing heavily and entered the mansion.

Among them, of course, was Cheon Seoa.

* * *

“Heh-.”

The villain in particularly flashy attire, the Pervert, let out a low laugh.

His eyes were fixed on the girl, Cheon Seoa, who was with the nine villains of Illuminati.

“I like her.”

The Pervert, showing a lewd smile, muttered in a voice dripping with sinister desire.

Her stunningly beautiful appearance along with hair reminiscent of the night sky.
Even her two eyes, which seemed to absorb light itself, held deep abysses yet showed no emotion.

There was nothing about Cheon Seoa that the Pervert didn’t like.

However.

“Those monsters are in the way.”

His voice was still dripping with sinister desire, but in contrast, the Pervert’s expression was not very good.

He had found prey he liked after a long time, but of all things, nine monsters were positioned right next to that prey.

What kind of relationship did those monsters have with the prey he had his eye on?

Were they simply carrying her around as a toy?
Or maybe there’s another reason they need to be together.

As Saekma was deep in thought, staring at the spot where Cheon Seoa had disappeared into the mansion.

Hiss hiss.

The distinctive sound of a snake could be heard from somewhere.

Even though this is an uninhabited island, it’s where Emperor resides.
A snake in a place like this?

As Saekma looked around in confusion, he discovered a snake at his feet.

A single snake that looked so ordinary, without any particularly striking features.

However, the moment Saekma saw the snake, he felt an inexplicable anxiety and fear, and quickly tried to throw himself away.

No, he tried to throw himself away.

Just as Saekma was about to move to avoid the snake, the snake lunged at him a step ahead.

Sha-at-!

With a sharp cry, the snake’s mouth opened wide as it stretched towards Saekma as if springing from the ground.

In response to the snake’s movement that seemed to penetrate the blind spot of perception, Saekma swung both hands a beat late.

Whoosh-!

Just as Saekma’s hands, filled with powerful energy, were about to strike the snake.
The snake that was in mid-air suddenly disappeared with a whoosh…

“Aaaaargh-!”

A terrible scream burst from Saekma’s mouth.

The snake that he thought had disappeared in an instant in mid-air had somehow bitten ‘something’ most important to Saekma.

For a pervert.
And for a man, it was like the unbearable pain of losing something incredibly important.

However, that pain disappeared in an instant as if it were just the pervert’s imagination.
Nevertheless, screams still erupted from the pervert’s mouth.

Only, those screams were not from pain, but from ‘loss’.

And for good reason.

“Why! Why won’t it stand up!”

The pervert cried out in despair.

His pride.
The pride that had earned him the title of ‘pervert’ was not responding to any stimulation.
