episode_0037

Now that the gates and monsters have disappeared, the era of humans has arrived.

The power of those with abilities did not disappear but was just incorporated into human society.

The awakened people continued their activities in their respective positions.

Originally, hunters who ran guilds used their aptitude to become hunter police.

Schools of magic and alchemists who study all kinds of magic have even established new companies using their magic.

And those who were addicted to the fights that continued inside the dungeon became fighters and broadcast the fights of superhumans around the world.

There were many positive things like this, but where there is light, there is also darkness.

The number of various crimes committed by awakened people has also increased.

People called such superhuman criminals villains.

As there are villains who commit crimes relying solely on their own abilities, there are also villains who are not alone but form groups of multiple villains to build their own power.

Just like organized gangs, villains also created such a society.

Europe’s Red Tarantula, America’s The Villain, Japan’s Imaemangyang, etc.

In each country, there was at least one, or at most several, villain organizations.

The most famous villain group in Korea is Neon Sign.

It was a name meant to be active in the night streets filled with neon signs.

The global union of villain groups representing each country was called the Villain Alliance.

Although it was called the Villain Alliance, it did not have any coercive power.

Villains who want freedom more than anyone else are beings who hate binding and interfering with each other more than anyone else.

It was a united organization created with the intention of helping each other whenever necessary.

It all started when the leaders of a villain group first formed an alliance to avoid being tracked by the world’s hunter police, IHP, and that has continued to this day.

And today is the day when the villain alliance gathers and holds regular meetings.

Kim Jeong-su, the leader of Korea’s representative villain group, Neon Sign, entered the portal created in his office.

An artificial gate created by The Villain’s crazy wizard Merlin.

Only those recognized by Merlin can enter, and it is currently used as a meeting place for the Villain Alliance to hold meetings.

Kim Jeong-su’s expression as he entered the portal was not very bright.

That’s right, it was because of the recent rehabilitation of villains in Korea.

In one year, as many as eight villains ended their villain lives and retired.

Among them was Cha Hee-joo, who was called a heavyweight.

It was unprecedented.

The villain is caught by the police. The villain has been active for several years.

There are not many cases of confession, but there are instances.

Some people entered the prison to infiltrate the prison or to deliver information to those trapped inside.

However, no one went to prison by simply confessing without such purpose.

Even the Hunter police judged it harmless and released it within a few months or two years.

Some of them even served as part of the Hunter Police.

It was strange.

And I recently found out that the confession was made by one being, Master X.

‘It’s a strange thing. That crazy bitch Cha Hee-joo is ending her villain life.’

At that time, I thought I was sick of it… … .

In fact, there was speculation that it was Master X’s doing.

Kim Jeong-su was also thinking the same thing.

Of course, nothing was certain.

If you think about it, it wasn’t something that the leader of Korea’s largest villain organization should take note of.

But if it is true that even Cha Hee-joo was rehabilitated.

There were plenty of ways to use it.

‘It’s worth it.’

After finishing his thoughts, Kim Jeong-su saw the leaders of other villain groups who had also come through the portal.

Merlin, the wizard of The Villain and the creator of this space, Seimei, the leader of the Imamangryang, and Jamryong, the leader of the Chinese villain group Blue Dragon, were walking one by one.

Contrary to her name, the ancient wizard Merlin, she was a short girl with pigtails and a young girl who had just shed her girlish appearance.

Kim Jeong-su had been amazed several times that such a small girl had created this space.

“Off, I hate portals. Wow.”

She made a cute face and vomited.

You should not underestimate someone just because they look young.

This was because this 22-year-old young wizard was a cruel woman who had already burned dozens of people with magic even before she became an adult.

“Merlin, what would you do if that cute face got wrinkles? Relax your expression.”

Seimei of Imaemanryang.

He was a handsome man with a handsome appearance.

He was such a dangerous man that there was a female hunter who fell in love with this man, who had both Eastern and strangely Western beauty, and became a villain himself.

“What are you saying? go away. I’m not interested in you.”

“It hurts to say that. As expected, she is a woman who has fallen in love with the charm of the core. Hehehe.”

Jamryong, the leader of the Blue Dragon Association, was walking silently in his uniform, half-ignoring the two.

The uniform he was wearing was not noticeable.

Jamryong’s most representative weapon was the power coming from his bulging muscles that seemed as if his uniform would tear at any moment.

As expected of the leaders of the group leading the villains, the energy they all had was enormous.

“Hmm~.”

Kim Jeong-su had already arrived and saw Tricone, the leader of the red tarantulas, sitting down.

Shiny blonde hair and blue eyes as clear as a lake.

She was a woman who was once a hero representing Europe.

A British hero who defeated numerous monsters and protected London, England.

The sight of him flying through the sky wearing a high-leg uniform with a harmonious pattern of blue, red, and white, symbolizing the British flag, was reminiscent of a superhero in a movie.

However, due to some incident, she became a villain and dyed the uniform she once wore black.

Wearing a uniform that exposed all of her thighs, she crossed her legs seductively and said while glaring at Kim Jeong-su.

“Mikometa, how are you doing?”

“Micometer?”

“Ha, Heeju unnie.”

“Oh, I don’t know Cha Hee-ju’s location. We don’t even know her whereabouts.”

“Hmm~, why don’t you know yet? I think I definitely asked them for a favor… … . Please find the location of the traitor in our organization.”

“Since we were in the same organization, you must know better than anyone else, right? How difficult it is to find that woman.”

“But I can’t find it. I can’t fly to Korea.”

Even though he had the ability to sneak into Korea secretly, he still acted like a fool.

Kim Jeong-su sighed.

Although the villains were of different nationalities, there was no problem communicating through this artificial gate with translation magic.

“We will talk about this later. Because I’m not here to talk about Cha Hee-joo.”

Kim Jeong-su looked at the gangsters sitting at the round table.

There were five people in attendance, including Kim Jeong-su, the leader of Korea’s neon signs.

Three out of eight members were absent.

Core, the leader of The Villain, Santos, the leader of Vasco, the ruler of South America including Brazil, and Charles the Great, the leader of the Resistance, a villain group based in France, were also nowhere to be seen.

“I guess your leader is busy today too?”

Merlin opened his eyes and refuted Tricone’s words.

“Our leader handed over his voting rights to me. So my words are the leader’s words.”

“This is why they are American guys.”

“Don’t criticize our leader. Before I really tear it apart with magic.”

“Do you think that’s possible? ”

Kim Jeong-soo raised his hand to stop the fight between the two women that seemed like it was going to break out at any moment.

“Up to there. You didn’t come here to fight, did you? Why are you both like that?”

“Ladies, stop fighting now.”

Seimei also added a word.

“Lady is a piece of shit.”

Merlin grumbled and sat down, and Tricone turned his gaze back to Kim Jeong-su.

“So. Not progressing?”

At those words, everyone’s eyes were focused on Kim Jeong-su.

They were all guys with a screw missing from their heads, so the progress of the meeting was always up to them.

“Whoa, you all know that the search methods of the World Hunter Police and IHP have changed recently. Information about it needs to be updated.”

“If that’s the case, I’ve already prepared everything. We will share information, so keep the server open.”

Kim Jeong-su nodded at Merlin’s words.

“Got it. For the next item on the agenda, I want to talk about a villain hunter who has recently become famous.”

“Villain Hunter?”

“Everyone has probably heard the name. It’s Master X.”

“Ah, that person? Isn’t it famous these days? You’re a popular star in Korea.”

Merlin clapped with excitement.

“It’s so amazing. What kind of magic did they use to turn these crime-crazed and provocative bitches into such docile women?”

Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

“By the way, you said that the talented villain in Red Tarantula also quit because he fell for that person, right? What kind of power did she have that made her abandon the organization and return to her home country?”

“Shut up.”

“Hmph, I don’t like it?”

“This bastard!”

It’s always like this.

They were all villains who didn’t know anything about cooperation, so whenever they met, they would fight.

It was a shame that the quiet Jamyong and the woman had the gentle Seimei, but if Santos and Charles the Great had been there, there would have been a fight at least once.

‘It’s always up to me to mediate.’

This is why Kim Jeong-su did not want to come to this meeting.

“Stop! We didn’t come here to fight among ourselves, right?”

“Sseu-eup… … .”

Tricone, who was about to shoot the energy gathered in his hand at Merlin’s head, sat down.

“Originally, we were going to deal with him because it happened in Korea… … .”

Kim Jeong-su’s head touched Tricone for a moment.

“There is a rumor that one of the Red Tarantula members may have been attacked by that guy.”

“You think Mikometa got hit by that guy?”

“It’s still just speculation.”

Kim Jeong-su, who took his gaze away from Tricone, continued speaking.

“Currently, Neon Sign is making every effort to confirm the identity of the guy named Master X. But you know… … .”

“The result is bread! Is this it?”

Merlin shouted in a tone that jabbed someone.

“Yes. It’s a shame, but that’s true.”

Let’s admit what we have to admit.

It was true that among the various villain groups gathered here, Kim Jeong-su’s neon sign had the weakest power.

The number of villains and the fighting power and influence of the group were not inferior anywhere.

However, neon signs do not have the most important S class.

This is a star who can confidently say that he is an S-class villain.

Most of Korea’s S-class villains prefer to travel alone, and such villains have no interest in Master X.

Are there only idiots who can’t sense the changes he will bring about in the future?

But Kim Jeong-su knows.

As a businessman before being a villain, he knew better than anyone else the changes that the existence of Master X would bring about.

‘I don’t know what the principle is, but it’s definitely a mind manipulation type ability.’

He probably has the ability to manipulate people as he wants.

This is a power that can be used against villains classified as A-class or S-class.

‘There must be a reason why they act separately as vigilantes rather than as hunter police officers. That means there is an opening for us to exploit.’

A being with that kind of power must be brought to one’s side.

It is a power that has the potential to grow infinitely depending on how it is used.

That was why.

The mention of Master

The plan was to use them to find and capture him.

At least they are much better at finding people than you are.

“So you’re asking me to find that guy in Korea?”

“That’s right. We are looking for a team to help us. If you help me, I will never forget the neon sign.”

Among the villain alliances, not forgetting means that one will repay the favor to the person who helped them at any time.

It also meant that we would listen to the other person’s request, no matter what.

Seimei raised his hand at those words.

“If that’s the case, there’s a kid who’s perfect for us. Even though she’s a lady, she’s an expert at finding people.”

“Are you talking about the kunoichi of this type?”

“That’s right. I know it well.”

“I would be grateful if you could send it to me.”

“If Kunoichi joins, there will be no need for other kids to go.”

And I was going to organize it.

If you’re a kunoichi of this type, you’ll find Master X in no time.

“I’m sorry, but we’ll have to take care of that.”

Tricone raised his hand.

“If that bastard called Master

“Lady, we were supposed to take it first?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not a huge number of cases.”

Seimei looked at Kim Jeong-su after hearing Tricone’s words.

It meant choosing someone who would receive grace from him.

“Still, I will get help from Lee Mae-mang-ryang, who raised his hand first. If the imamangryang fails, then get help from the tarantula.”

“Che!”

“There is no way we can fail, so please wait, Lady. We will take him and bring him before the Lady.”

“… … Okay.”

Kim Jeong-su looked at Seimei and said.

“If you send a kunoichi to Korea, we will also send people to welcome you.”

“Let’s do that.”

“Then the next item on the agenda is… … .”

Kim Jeong-su quietly conducted the meeting, hiding his dark intentions of using Master X.

Meanwhile, the calculator was running rapidly in his head.

What are Master

***

“… … So, are you saying the Villain Alliance sent someone to catch Master X?”

“Yes. I think they’re probably trying to recruit the same villain.”

“Are you sure?”

“According to my information, yes.”

“You don’t know who is coming?”

Cha Hee-ju nodded.

Kang Chan sighed deeply.

It became a target of the coalition sooner than expected.

I thought it would take another year.

“I understand. We should prepare too.”
