    After I carefully organized the information I had obtained, I texted it to the director.

    The fact that several politicians are using this fucking VillainNet, and that something is secretly coming and going through it.

    [Thank you for your hard work. I never dreamed that she would be the one behind it… This is a big deal. She’s someone who provides a lot of money to the Hero Association, so she has a lot of influence.]

    Lee So-yeon is an elite politician who served two terms at a young age.

    Her young age, both a disadvantage and an advantage, has become her greatest weapon, and her policies focusing on the youth in particular have received a lot of support.

    [But if we can get clear evidence, even if it’s impossible to arrest Lee So-yeon herself, we can cut out her underlings.]

    It seems that Yamura is planning to issue a new operation. What could it be?

    ‘Probably an assassination mission.’

    Just because they’re heroes doesn’t mean they always get to do clean missions. Like the old FBI, they often do things like espionage and assassination.

    [There is no justification for cutting off that woman’s minions just because she created Villainnet. But what if she confesses her crimes with her own mouth?]

    Oh, it doesn’t seem to be an assassination mission. That’s too bad. I’m sure I could do it if I were told to.

    At least if it’s a mission to assassinate a first-class villain, the chances of success are high. If I apply my abilities well… I can catch and kill them without anyone knowing.

    ‘If it’s an intelligence mission, it would fall to Illusion, not me.’

    It would be much better if someone with the ability to change perception jumps in. In fact, Illusion is an indispensable source of information for the Hero Association.

    [I’m sorry to have to ask you this, but… this is the only way. Are you good at drinking?]

    [If you maximize your liver’s detoxification ability, you can drink several cases.]

    [Good. I’ll arrange the seat. Entertain Isoyeon and find out the information.]

    …really.

    It was a mission that only I could accomplish.

    ***

    The Hero Association does not have a culture of hospitality due to its nature.

    How can you entertain people when you’re busy running around here and there to protect justice? You should catch one more villain and put him in jail while you’re at it.

    ‘If you accept this mission, you will never do anything like this again.’

    A fancy sushi restaurant. I’m waiting for someone, dressed in a suit.

    The opponent is Lee So-yeon, and she might even bring her aide along.

    ‘After getting her drunk… we have to extract information from Isoyeon.’

    I don’t drink much, but I’m confident. If I maximize my liver’s detoxification ability, I won’t get drunk no matter how much I drink.

    Okay… Come! Drink as much as you want.

    “Huh? Oh, I see you’re already here, Sirius.”

    “Oh, hello. I am… .”

    “I know. The director gave an ‘introduction’ with a photo.”

    An introduction? You’re talking like you’re referring to a bar boy. But from this woman’s perspective, there’s nothing she can do.

    ‘By the way, he looks pretty… He looks normal.’

    Not all superhumans are beautiful. Their bodies are often transformed into hideous shapes due to their abilities.

    But this woman… . She seems to be receiving special care, with skin as white as jade and large purple irises. She even has long purple hair to match.

    He has a cool impression that matches his slender figure. But somehow he seems to have a really good personality.

    When I think about the evil villain’s mind inside me… .

    “What are you thinking about for so long?”

    “Oh, sorry.”

    “Ah! No. It’s just a blessing for me to be able to meet you alone like this… .”

    You wanted to meet me?

    “Did you know about it?”

    “Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t know you? You’re the hottest hero right now! You’re the world’s first male superhuman!”

    “Aha… .”

    “There are many people in the political and financial world who want to meet you. They want to shake your hand somehow… . You did well to donate a lot to the association!”

    It seems like this woman thinks I’ll entertain her in person instead of donating money.

    You could say that his base desires are clearly visible. His intentions are clearly to eat me somehow.

    “Okay! I don’t know how much money I spent to reserve here. Hahaha… .”

    “Politicians have a lot of money.”

    “Thanks to the people who support me, I am getting by without any shortages.”

    That means you took a bribe. Okay, add one more crime. I’ll make sure to add it when I throw you in jail.

    “Okay! Let’s start with a drink before the food comes out. Hmm… . What kind of alcohol do you like? Since we’re going to eat fish. How about white wine! ”

    It’s a no-brainer. I didn’t refuse.

    “Yes, I will do that. But I can’t drink well… .”

    “Ah! Of course I won’t drink too much.”

    As Isoyeon snapped her fingers, an employee who had been waiting outside came in.

    “How would you like to order, sir?”

    “Ah, I told you not to call me manager… . How on earth did you educate me?”

    “Oops! Sorry.”

    You made a reservation at the store? What the heck. Are you even running a side job as a politician? Oh, you’re adding one more charge.

    “Prepare what you usually eat. And the wine you kept. You must have put it in the cellar, right?”

    “Yes, I understand.”

    The employee bowed his head and left the room.

    “Oh, wow. I guess I’m embarrassed. This store is run by my younger brother, but I’m temporarily taking over due to some circumstances.”

    “Ah… . Yes.”

    After a moment of silence, the door opened again.

    Several staff members came in and placed plates on the table. Even though I don’t know anything about food, it was fancy enough to tell how expensive the prices were.

    “Okay! The food is here. Enjoy it to your heart’s content.”

    I guess so. This food. There’s something strange about it.

    I picked up a colorful piece of flounder sushi with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth.

    ‘They sprayed the poison. And they did it cleverly. Someone without expert knowledge wouldn’t even notice.’

    The slight bitterness that shouldn’t come from sushi is proof of that. It’s so obvious.

    ‘I’d like to say it out loud, but I guess I’ll just be fooled here.’

    I swallowed it down my throat. Normally, the effects would spread quickly, but I prevented that by slightly modifying my body.

    ‘A sleeping pill, huh? I thought you’d give me some kind of aphrodisiac. My liver couldn’t get through it. Pathetic bitch.’

    If you’re going to use medicine against superhumans, why don’t you do more research?

    “It seems to suit your taste.”

    Isoyeon looked at me with a bitter smile on her face. It seemed as if she thought she had won.

    “Yes, it’s really delicious.”

    “Then when you wake up… .”

    “Yes?”

    “Oh, no.”

    I took a bite of a couple more sushi rolls. It was definitely delicious. The slightly bitter taste added to the flavor.

    “You really are a good drinker. Oh! And drink alcohol too! I’ll pour you some.”

    She lifted the bottle of wine, looking embarrassed. Okay. Looks like there’s some stronger medicine in there. I’ll gladly accept it.

    “Hoo… Do you happen to know about the ‘Wang Game’?”

    “Yes?”

    “This is a game I used to play a lot when I was drinking when I was young… I’m going to try it now. What do you think?”

    What is this plan?

    ‘The game you play at a drinking party means that if you lose, you have to drink more… Are you planning on making me drunk and knocking me out? You’re using your brain.’

    But it still remains ugly and stupid.

    “Ah, well… . Let’s try it. It doesn’t seem that difficult.”

    “You agree now, right?”

    “Yes?”

    “You have to tell me clearly. Otherwise, I’ll be in trouble.”

    Something is ominous. There is clearly an ulterior motive. There is a reason why you absolutely cannot pass it up.

    “Come to think of it… . I’m not good at games. Sorry, but I’ll decline this too.”

    “Huh? Ugh! Just give it to me once!”

    “What did you just say?”

    “Just this once! Can you do me a favor…? This will be so much fun! I guarantee it! Yes? Yes?!”

    I know this woman has been talking some horrible things… .

    What is this meanness? If you don’t do it, I feel like I’ll hang myself and commit suicide right now.

    He is so humble that he looks like he is going to bury his head on the floor.

    It’s so pathetic, but I took a deep breath and looked straight into her eyes and said, “There’s nothing I can do.”

    “It can’t be done, Chief.”

    It’s true.

    What can’t be done can’t be done.
