Trash Cleanup

“…….”

“…….”

Inside the office, CEO Anderson and CEO Choi Myung-wol glanced at Arthur without saying a word.

“?”

And whether he knew it or pretended not to know, Arthur looked at them with a puzzled expression.

“Hmm, F04 area has been cleaned up.”

“That’s right. A villain suddenly appeared.”

And that’s me.

Both of them know I’m Mad Hatter. If they don’t, that’s strange. I said I would handle the Monkey Spanner in the F04 area, but suddenly a villain dressed like a magician appeared and made the hero kill the Monkey Spanner.

If they can’t infer that Mad Hatter = me, then they should leave this place.

And perhaps those two are thinking very hard. They will figure out how to deal with themselves knowing why I came here, why I became a villain, and how to kill the Monkey Spanner, etc.

“Was your ambition to be a villain? Or was that the way to kill the Monkey Spanner?”

“Hmm, I didn’t expect this reaction.”

Watching Anderson ask directly, Arthur thought,

“For now, it’s the latter.”

“It suits you well.”

“Thank you.”

“…”

CEO Choi Myung-wol, who had been racking his brain, turned pale when Anderson asked Arthur directly if he was a villain.

“But the job isn’t finished yet. It’s not completely resolved.”

“Well, there are leftovers left by the trash.”

“How are both of your situations?”

“Very smooth.”

“What’s the difference between kids’ pranks and adults’ business?”

As experts who have experienced everything in this field, it seems like they are winning the war. Well, at the club, CEO Anderson says these days the police are taking too much money, so it seems like they’re also giving bribes to the police for handling things.

“A sand mountain that collapses at a touch.”

The Devil Colosseum is exactly a huge sand mountain. A sand mountain that collapses at a touch, but compared to that, CEO Anderson and CEO Choi Myung-wol are long-standing mountains. Even if an earthquake occurs, they won’t collapse.

In that respect, when the war broke out, the attack of the Anderson Alliance was fierce, and the Devil Colosseum collapsed like a house of cards.

Of course, the Devil Colosseum also prepared to make their sand mountain strong, but they were quickly pushed into war by the scheme of ‘someone.’

“Oh, but F04 zone, so it seems difficult now to cross your zone and plan to attack the Devil Colosseum.”

“Why is that?”

“The defending forces in your area have gathered, it seems that a new villain has appeared and they gathered just in case, thanks to that, the surprise attack failed.”

“Still, thanks to that, the forces have dispersed, making the attack easier.”

“Yeah, so you just need to tidy up the F04 zone well and that should be enough.”

“Understood.”

“…This is cooperating with a B-class villain and doing all sorts of things to survive.”

“It’s not an easy time to live. You have to do anything.”

“Is that so? Haha!”

After Arthur left, at the office

“Oh, I thought my heart was going to drop.”

President Choi Myeong-wol said as he took the glass Anderson handed him.

“What if you casually mention the word ‘villain’ like that?”

“If they wanted to kill us, they would have done it first.”

“That’s true, but you know, that kind. The despicable ones who could have killed us in advance but deliberately didn’t and see how they do it.”

“…Well, I can’t guarantee that.”

“Then why are you so confidently saying that?”

“…Intuition?”

“Intuition?”

“Yeah, intuition.”

“What did that intuition say?”

“The kind you shouldn’t mess with.”

“…But why did you mess with them?”

“My father used to say, if you make friends with people you shouldn’t, you can gain the world.”

“…Well, he must have been like that.”

“My father’s greatest achievement was being good at making friends, so he said.”

“Then I should get along well with Mr. Arthur too.”

“Very~~~closely.”

“It’s a mess.”

“It’s a mess indeed.”

“It’s a mess?”

…”

Hector, Headhunter, and Seohyun said to me as I returned home.

It is said that after Monkey Spanner died, the area is still controlled by the organization Monkey Spanner Family that followed him. No, when the villain Monkey Spanner, who was the leader and had most of the power, died, the organization faced a crisis, so to cover up that crisis, they are turning the streets upside down.

“They’re acting out.”

Like a cool-headed evaluation of a headhunter, the remnants of the Monkey Wrench family are now acting out. We’re still alive, we still have strength, and this area still belongs to us. That’s why they are currently making a fuss to emphasize this.

“We need to clean up the trash.”

“How about using Mad Hatter as the villain?”

“Of course.”

“We definitely need to sweep them away.”

“Let’s make a plan first.”

(Engine revving!!)

Several vans were heading towards the abandoned factory.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. Did they buy something in bulk?”

As the vans approached, members of the Monkey Wrench organization guarding the entrance came forward.

“Hey! Stop!”

(Squeak!)

When the member ordered them to stop, the vans came to a halt.

“What’s going on?”

(Groaning)

As the member approached the driver’s seat, the window was rolled down.

“?”

There was a person wearing a plain black mask and a suit sitting in the driver’s seat.

“!!”

Pointing a silenced pistol sideways, the person said.

(Pew! Pew!)

“What’s going on!”

(Pew! Pew!)

As the approaching member fell, other members tried to stand but ended up with bullet holes in their foreheads.

“Clear the entrance.”

(Engine revving!!)

As the entrance guards fell, the vans quickly entered the factory.

(Squelch)

Arthur’s subordinates who got off one of the vans removed the clothes from the dead members at the entrance and disposed of the bodies.

Then they changed into the clothes.

(Clink! Clank, clank, clank, clank)

As the van’s door opened, heavily armed individuals stepped out.

“…Where do you get these kinds of forces?”

Looking at Arthur’s well-trained subordinates in full gear, the headhunter asked.

“I’m good at persuasion, you see.”

In a world like this, where people disappear without the government caring, where can you find heavily trained, heavily armed individuals who fulfill this role?

That’s right, it’s a terrorist organization.

Thanks to information from Hector, I was able to wipe out an entire terrorist organization through hypnosis. As a result, I was able to obtain well-trained soldiers who could kill or be killed at my command.

(Pew! Pew!)

Former members of the terrorist organization, now Arthur’s subordinates, quietly assassinated the Monkey Wrench family members inside the abandoned factory.

(Squelch! Squelch!)

“It seems like we’ve captured enough.”

Hector looked at the Monkey Spanner organization members tied up in one place and said, “Is this all of them?”

“Yes, we’ve killed the rest.”

“That’s enough.”

*swish*

Arthur stood in front of the cornered Monkey Spanner organization members.

*clink*

And he took out a pocket watch and opened it.

“Now, it’s time to be good.”

…

Vehicles approached the abandoned factory.

“Hey, open the door.”

*click!*

At the driver’s words, Arthur’s subordinates, disguised as Monkey Spanner organization members, opened the door.

*rumble!*

Starting with the first vehicle, dozens of vehicles came in. And nearly a hundred people got out of those vehicles, and no one felt anything strange.

*bubbling!*

People were sitting at a table placed in the middle of the spacious area inside the abandoned factory. They were high-ranking members of the Monkey Spanner family.

“Darn it, we’re short on supplies too!”

“We’ll replenish them ourselves! We’re going through the same thing!”

“Darn it, this is because the command structure isn’t properly established.”

“Why is everyone panicking just because that guy died?”

“We should even make a leader among ourselves.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

The words of one man silenced the other high-ranking members.

“We can’t leave the leader position vacant.”

“That’s right.”

*thud!*

“In that case, I should be the leader!”

A high-ranking member shouted, slamming the table down.

“I have the most subordinates, so I should be the leader.”

“That’s not true.”

Another high-ranking member responded confidently.

“If you count the ones who support me and my subordinates, I have the most.”

“You should become an individual; why divide into factions?”

“That’s also an ability.”

“If brainless people like you become the leader, the organization won’t go anywhere.”

“What did you say?”

“This guy!”

“The person who was just physically strong at first should now be the one with brains.”

“That’s right! Damn it, do you know how much the tribute from that guy in Monkey Spanner is?”

“Then I should be the leader.”

“I’m qualified too!”

“Damn it!”

“Just come at me!”

*smack!*

As if a big fight was about to start, the lights in the meeting room suddenly went out.

“What, what’s going on!”

“Turn on the lights!”

Suddenly, when the lights went out, the high-ranking members were flustered.

*click!*

“What’s this?”

*creeak*

Strange sounds accompanied the return of the light from the lights.

“Ah.”

When the fire came in, the figure of Arthur, not a hero but a villain, Mad Hatter, appeared in front of the officers. He held a knife that had just cut the throat of an officer sitting on a chair with one hand.

“Hmm, it turned on too quickly.”

(Tuk)

Arthur pushed aside the officer whose neck was bleeding and overflowing, looked up at the light, and said,

(Swish)

And naturally sat in that place.

“We don’t need a leader.”

In an unexpected situation, Arthur spoke to the stiffened officers who had risen and the officers who had been sitting.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Well, wait a moment.”

Arthur wiped his blood-stained hand with a handkerchief.

“Now, have some tea.”

(Tap, tap, tap)

Suddenly, Arthur’s subordinates standing behind them brought tea.

(Hmm!)

Some of the officers in suits seemed surprised by the subordinates in black masks standing behind them.

“Hey, what do you want?”

An officer asked Arthur.

“Garbage collection.”

“……”

They didn’t say it, but they knew best that they were the garbage themselves.

“……”

“……”

“……”

“Oh, if you’re waiting for your subordinates, I recommend giving up.”

Outside the conference room

“Be careful when you move.”

Arthur’s subordinates were moving bodies to the morgue.

(Thud!)

And they had piled up the organization members they had killed earlier along with the ones they had killed this time in the incinerator.

(Gasp! Gasp!)

“He’s alive.”

One subordinate realized that a body was not dead while moving it.

(Swish)

He immediately shot the body in the forehead with a silenced pistol.

“Keep moving.”

Back in the conference room

“I’ll give you a chance.”

“W-what kind of chance are you giving us? Are you scared?” An officer trembled as he spoke. Isn’t he too scared of the current situation for someone who lived in this world?

“A chance to change sides.”

“!!”

“!!”

“!!”

The officers’ eyes sparkled.

“But there isn’t much space, you see.”

(Chuk, chuk, chuk)

Arthur’s subordinates behind the officers took out guns from their bosoms.

(Swoosh!)

When Arthur killed the officer earlier, he threw the knife into the middle of the table.

“I’ll take one, just one.”

(Thud, thud, thud!)

“Uwaaaah!”

“This!”

“Get out of the way!”

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, the officers rushed to grab the knife in the middle of the table.
