Three hours later, the Thailand Hero Association Phuket branch.

“Nice to meet you. King of National Heungdo.”

“It’s been a while, Laplace. Is this the first time since Class A’s first place inauguration ceremony last year?”

“Yes. I had no idea it would come without warning. Is everything going well in Malaysia?”

“Because even without me, the ‘Khmerxes’ are protecting it. I just came here for vacation.”

“If you had told us in advance, we would have followed protocol whether we went to the airport or the border.”

“I wanted to hang out quietly. Even though I opened it all.”

A breathless conversation takes place.

Those watching from the side could only look at each other in the conference room, which was like a sheet of thin ice.

Laplace is smiling but his eyes are hard.

The King of National Heungdo is wearing a one-piece dress and openly appealing, ‘I am a traveler.’

The fight between the two A+ classes was a battle that used not only human charisma but also magical power, and those in the seminar room could only hope that someone would open the door by mistake.

“I’ll ask you this with great precision. Why did you come to Phuket?”

“I will answer directly. Travel. End.”

“Is that the real reason?”

“Then I came here to travel. What purpose do you think I came here?”

“If you really came here for a trip, why didn’t you just pass by when Phu Patpong was on a rampage?”

“Can the hero just watch the villain take people hostage and go on a rampage? Is there a reason to save people?”

“We were able to subdue it.”

“Well, it will be too late after what happens to the hostage. Me indeed. I saved people and defeated villains, but this is my first time feeling scolded like this. Have you ever filmed a movie? I don’t think it was like that.”

Although they know each other’s intentions, they just pretend not to know and attack the other with words.

The two were just smiling at each other, but Laplace was the one who was frustrated.

“Well, that’s good. You came to travel at this time by chance, it is not because it is Phuket, you have not given any word to the Malaysian Hero Association or the government, and even the South Vietnam Autonomous Region welcomes your trip. ”

“I had no intention of being welcomed, but thank you so much for welcoming me like this.”

“How did you decide on accommodation? Would you like us to make a separate reservation for you at a 5-star hotel?”

“I came here to have fun all night long, but I can’t do that. are you okay. Because I’m just going to walk around and enjoy the Phuket night air leisurely without accommodation.”

“…Do you think that makes sense?”

“Oh my, why doesn’t it make sense? I’m moving as I want. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be in Phuket right now?”

The King of National Heungdo just laughed heartily.

The one who was frustrated was Laplace, and the one who was full of leisure was the King of National Heungdo.

The background, of course, is because the ‘justice’ lies with King Heungdo of the Nation, not Laplace.

“I am just a tourist, there is no problem with my visa, I just came for sightseeing and looking for someone. Oh, the citizens might go crazy when they see me, or something like that. are you okay. I’ll walk around hiding my identity as much as possible, so you don’t have to worry. Hehehe.”

“…You’re only saying things that make me worry. Be careful. There is intelligence that unidentified monsters are wandering around Phuket these days. You never know when someone might suddenly disappear.”

“Do you think the security in Phuket is very bad? Thank you for your concern, but I have enough strength to protect myself. Then, can I go now?”

“…General Jeokrang will be arriving soon. Surely you’re not trying to cheat the person who comes all the way to Phuket?”

“……Hmm.”

The corner of the National Heungdo King’s eyes furrowed slightly, but she immediately shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, okay. Well then, you can just drink tea in the meantime.”

“…Yes. Don’t go anywhere, just wait. We will serve you the car right away.”

Laplace went outside, and King Heungdo of the Nation leisurely looked out the window in the seminar room.

Far away.

Facing the gaze that seemed to be looking at her, she lightly made a V shape with her fingers.

lodging.

We came into the dorm pretending to be newlyweds and immediately turned on the TV.

On TV, the King of National Heungdo is greeting the drone camera while drawing a V shape.

It may have been a hero’s greeting to Thai citizens, but she signaled as if she was greeting her.

“Oppa. I don’t think I can get any help. Looks like Laplace has his feet tied?”

“Sure. There is also a rumor going around that General Jeokrang from Bangkok is coming to Phuket.”

Major forces are converging on Phuket.

Officially, King Heungdo of the Nation is someone who is said to be traveling, so she cannot help in this operation.

“Ugh. He fights pretty well. I hope there won’t be any big accidents or fights.”

“The same goes for this one. I don’t really want to fight with a hero whose nickname is Vietnam’s Chungmugong.”

If he were to step forward, he would have to do so as a ‘hero’, and of course he would have to do his best to confront us, the desperate villains.

That’s the hero’s way of cooperating with the organization.

It attracts the attention of the public and allows the society to move more easily, but when the society rises to the surface in earnest, the hero must fight against it.

So that the general public can think, ‘How can the King of National Heungdo be a person who cooperates with an organization like that when they fought with such an organization and with the intention of killing each other?’

“This is where Tran Hung Dao attracts attention. Then, Mr. Nguyen?”

[yes.]

I spoke to Nguyen, who was staying in the room next to the hotel.

The wall was thick, but as long as the person with this ability keeps their hearing open, the wall is not a big problem.

“The organization will move. The operation was already ‘confirmed’ from the moment you called us, and all that remained was deciding the timing and location. We’ll decide the timing, but we’ll give you the choice of location.”

[……Which of the two islands will you attack first?]

“Yes.”

Is it the island of the succubus?

Or is it God’s resting place?

Changing the order will not cause any major problems, but the scale and pattern of damage will vary significantly.

“The Order does not hesitate to shed blood. I will do my best to shed as little blood as possible, but I am not making idealistic claims that I will not let anyone die.”

[…….]

“Keep in mind that the people you reach out to are the ones who will do whatever it takes to achieve world peace. Now, what are you going to do? Are you going to cancel the contract?”

[If I stop here….]

“Then, the director and I can enjoy our trip to Thailand and then that’s it.”

To put it bluntly, what happens is this country and Nguyen, not us.

The association can always eradicate the darkness that has fallen on this country in other ways.

It’s just that right now, the general management position has its own sabbatical year for a year, so ‘purifying’ one country is not a big stretch.

[If I stop now, all kinds of evil things will still be happening on that island.]

“Yes. Blood will still be flowing.”

[…I’ll do it.]

“Good choice, Nguyen. We support your decision, and we will begin full-scale preparations now.”

I lightly knocked on the wall.

“Operation begins at… Until then, there is one thing you can do.”

[Just say the word. right now-]

“Set the alarm and lie down to sleep.”

[……yes?]

“Don’t stay up all night worrying for no reason. Or should I go and force him to sleep? I can put you to sleep right away with just one hit from a bat.”

[Oh, no. …I will rest on my own.]

“Good. Then, don’t leave the room until the operation begins.”

I took out the goblin bat and tapped it lightly against the wall.

Soon, a light curtain of magic spread across the wall leading to Nguyen’s room, and I turned and headed toward the bed.

“Oppa. He must not be able to sleep?”

“You must be nervous.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Hye-ra Yoon sat on the bed and leisurely motioned to me.

“I can’t sleep because of the sound of an alibi being created in the next room.”

“…It’s okay because I spread the soundproofing using magic power. And….”

I ran my hand through Yoon Hye-ra’s hair and laid my body on top of her.

“I have no intention of letting anyone else hear the sound of you suffering.”

“……Heh.”

From now on.

Create an alibi.

midnight.

“Listen carefully. Basically, organizations are people who prey on humans when they are at their weakest.”

‘K’, an agent under Laplace’s command, handed a pistol to the Kosians in suits following him and gave them advice.

“Laplace said. That woman, Tran Hung Dao, came to Phuket by no means a coincidence. We must find the missing Nguyen, and at the same time, we must find the agents of the organization called by Nguyen. Check the list again.”

Sigh.

Many people’s faces appeared on the screen in front of the Kosians.

“The faces and locations of ‘people who arrived from Korea within the past 3 days’ identified through hotel reservation apps, card terminals, CCTV, etc. are listed. From now on, we will check all the places they stayed and raid them as soon as anything goes wrong. Do you understand?”

“””Yes!”””

“Then, the first one.”

Under the guidance of Agent K, the Kosians entered the hotel immediately.

The hotelier didn’t even look at them, as if an invisible person was passing by, and the agents began checking doors and doors around the hotel.

“……R Hotel, nothing more. What about that?”

[No problem here either. Ah, there was something wrong. Tsk tsk.]

“What?”

K became angry at what another team member said over the radio.

“What is it? Even minor abnormalities must be reported.”

[A couple from Korea were working hard for their country. Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard of a real woman getting sick and dying like that.]

“…Useless talk. During the mission.”

[hey. I can hear it a little louder now. Would you like to hear it?]

“…….”

K perked up his ears.

and.

“……Isn’t the woman going to die?”

[yes? Hehehe. Should we just grab the man and throw him on that island?]

“Korean couples are not allowed because they are dangerous. …Still, please slip your business card below.”

[Of course I put it in. ha. By the way, those desperate bastards, I can’t even see their noses removed. Are you sure you really came?]

“That’s right.”

Thump, thump, thump.

Although the sound of the bed creaking through the radio was distracting, the agent decided to focus on the mission as much as possible.

“They are terrorists. I’m sure they’re doing something to prepare for a terrorist attack somewhere. You must find it. For Laplace.”

[of course.]

I’m sorry.

“……Tsk. They seem like pitiful people. You can’t go to Ulleungdo or Jeju and come all the way to Phuket.”

The night was deep.

The search continued past midnight, but agents were unable to find even the letter ‘A’.

and.

4:33 in the morning.

The alarm went off.
