After the presentation is over.

Those in the conference room were divided into two groups.

The able-bodied and the non-competent.

Those with S-class abilities, including Baek Seol-hee, headed to the break room, while the president, ministers, vice presidents of the Hero Association, and officials from other related ministries remained in the conference room.

“…for now.”

The president addressed the topic cautiously.

“If anyone has recently heard that Baek Seol-hee is dating someone or has met someone, please raise your hand.”

No one raised their hand.

“If anyone has any information, please tell me.”

“Mr. President. doesn’t exist. There are no men around Baek Seol-hee. After Duoksini died last time, didn’t it turn out that the gift you bought for Cheok Jun-gyeong was just something you bought for your younger brother?”

“Gun…. Is it really not there? Hello? Not even one?”

“Yes. It would be closer to the correct answer to say that we secretly meet people in places where they cannot be seen. With someone we don’t know.”

“Huh.”

If a person with special abilities decides to use this ability to hide his identity, will he be able to recognize the other person?

“Minister Park. Could it be wiretapping or something like that…”

“You can check by sending a warrant to the telecommunications company, but will the telecommunications company actually release the records?”

“It’s not a legal story, but what if we talk about it later?”

“…There will be a big problem in handling the situation. In the first place, isn’t what the President doesn’t know something that even ‘clairvoyants’ don’t know?”

“Grunt.”

The President scratched the back of his head.

“Of course, as you said, I have clairvoyance, but if I had grasped the information with clairvoyance, I would have asked you.”

“Weren’t you looking out for us?”

“This person. There is no opposition party here, so what.”

“…….”

People in the conference room looked at each other and nodded.

“No one really knows, right? Huh?”

“First of all, isn’t one thing clear? Baek Seol-hee’s…hey, first of all, he’s called a ‘partner’. That partner is a married man.”

“Is it an affair….”

Everyone quenched their appetite.

“I don’t know what kind of blessing he is, but he got married and was loved by Snow White. Haha, what a world.”

“It’s not something we can just laugh about and move on from. Baek Seol-hee, who had never been quiet about pregnancy until now, directly brought up the story in front of us. They also said that the legal issues should be resolved by us.”

“Okay. So it’s even scarier. Making a girl who was living an upright life roll her eyes. That’s love.”

“Ha…. How did I end up in such a complicated love.”

The people here are not people with special abilities.

However, their life experience is much richer than that of others, and they have seen more people than anyone else.

“It looks like Baek Seol-hee has fallen for her boyfriend very firmly. Seeing that she is prepared to become an adulterous woman herself and is even trying to create a legal way to protect the man.”

“Didn’t you ask me to even protect my child? This means that when a custody issue arises, you will protect your child. No matter who the adulterer is or who the wife is, we must protect Baek Seol-hee and her future child.”

“The state must protect the adulterous woman and her illegitimate child. Hehehe, if other people hear it, there will be a huge roaring party.”

“But she is a woman who defeated three S-classes with her alter ego.”

“Then you should do it. Ah. Even if it is not an affair, but rather a crime committed by kidnapping an innocent young man, you should turn a blind eye and pretend not to notice. They show so much enthusiasm about pregnancy.”

There was one thing everyone had in common.

“You must never provoke Baek Seol-hee. When we were sitting next to him and reciting the Buddha’s name, such as meeting someone, getting married, and having children, he didn’t even listen to us, but when he suddenly asks us to cooperate like this, it’s not just an excuse, but he’s at the stage of trying to die without that man. I know it well.”

The President shook his head in exasperation.

“…Fortunately, Ms. Baek Seol-hee is a patriot. I am not that crazy woman who wants to sell her country and even her children. No matter who her partner is, we need to support and respect Baek Seol-hee’s choice.”

“Well, if you say you are not a person with special abilities…”

“You man! Then, what will you do if Baek Seol-hee says, ‘I won’t do it?’”

The president shouted, hitting the table at the minister’s words.

“You brought up the story of your pregnancy yourself, but if we say things like ‘Ah, a little incompetent’ or ‘Ah, a little C-level’, they will listen! The affair has already been exposed, so does the level of this ability matter?”

“Wouldn’t he be incompetent? If you’re talking about a married man, he’s at least in his late 20s, and don’t we have a rough idea of all married people with special abilities?”

“…Is it possible that we are missing out on young talented people having affairs?”

“No.”

“Tsk…! Is it a sense of virtue to say that you will give birth to a child?…!”

Baek Seol-hee gives birth to a child.

Even if it is a married man’s child, he wants to have the child and raise it.

“A story that often happens in family court is happening on a national level. Haha, I’m going crazy. No, is that guy crazy? Baek Seol-hee is asking for an affair, but if it were me, I would divorce and marry a woman like Baek Seol-hee.”

The ministers laughed ambiguously at the president’s words, but no one shook their head or denied it.

“You just have to believe it. Ah, would Baek Seol-hee marry someone so foolish? The only flaw is that he is a married man. And what if the man is incompetent? Baek Seol-hee is S+ grade. No matter how bad you are, they will give you an A grade.”

“Still, if the grade is low….”

“Oh, let’s not think about that. 1 is better than 0, and you may change your mind after having a child. Isn’t it possible for 1 to become 2 and then 3?”

“I would be grateful if I could give birth to more than one child, but…”

“Let’s just resolve the legal issues. If the media smells something, let’s find out what kind of woman she is and then control the media by siding with Baek Sul-hee. Do you understand?”

“Okay.”

A conclusion has been reached.

“Listen carefully. No matter what kind of man Baek Seol-hee meets, or who she is patriotic with, as long as she is a ‘Korean man’, it’s okay…”

Weeeeing.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Without any time for the secretaries to do anything, their attention was focused on the person who entered the conference room.

“Oh, sorry. I left the cup I was drinking from earlier.”

“Taejo….”

The President’s face instantly got hot when he saw King Taejo coming in to pick up the steel mug that was sitting on his seat.

No matter how S-level they are, no matter how much they are the president’s grandson, ordinary people do not confidently enter the conference room in the middle of a meeting with the door closed.

“Haha. What are you talking about seriously? Oh, is this a serious story…?”

“What were you guys talking about?”

“It’s just a battle story. How do you use your alter ego?”

“Um….”

“But I wasn’t interested in that kind of story, so I just left. Hehe.”

Except for people like Armored Taejo.

“Let’s ask since we just arrived. Do you know who the man Baek Seol-hee is seeing?”

“…….”

Taejo closed his mouth and sipped his coffee.

Everyone’s heart sank at that ambiguous attitude.

“Ho, do you really know? Huh?”

“I’ll tell you in advance, but it’s not me. It’s not Jun-kyung, and it’s not Tu-shin. And I don’t know.”

“Who is the guesser?”

“There is one person.”

“Who is it?”

“You might be surprised when you hear it. Especially my grandfather.”

“…Is this someone I know?”

“That.”

King Taejo looked around the crowd and cautiously opened his mouth.

“This may be a very shocking story for adults to hear. Are you okay?”

“Anything is okay. Let’s talk first.”

“Then….”

Taejo stood at the entrance holding a cup and cleared his voice.

“In my opinion….”

* * *

At that time, the lounge.

“What? Me and Irene? What are you talking about?”

Baek Seol-hee laughed in response to questions from Lee Jun-young, a fighter, and Yun-ji Kim, a cerebral emperor.

“Say something that makes sense.”

“Sister.”

“Sister.”

“No, I know it’s the rule of this world not to say nonsense, but still, Irene…”

“It’s a woman.”

“He is a minor.”

“…It’s both.”

Baek Seol-hee covered her face with her hands as the two men and women looked at each other, full of questions.

“It’s okay. I’m Korean, I’m not a woman, I’m an adult. Except for the fact that he is a married man, he has no major flaws.”

“Sister. Aren’t you talking about a married man now to cover up the truth with lies? I would rather believe the theory that my sister is a lesbian.”

“Rather than becoming a lesbian, I would rather be patriotic with the wife of an adulterous man.”

“Push…!”

Lee Jun-young almost spewed out the carbonated beverage while drinking it.

“Sister, don’t talk like that…!”

“That’s what they say. You are doubting me now too. what? minor? Is this really crazy?”

“…Isn’t that right? After entering Sejong Island this year, they suddenly said they would become patriotic.”

“What is that?”

“My sister, is it possible that there is a forbidden relationship between a teacher and a student…ugh?!”

Fazizik.

“Hey, Yunji Kim!”

“Don’t be crazy. Mija is a crime!”

“You don’t want to talk about lesbians!”

“An individual’s sexual preference is a different story from a crime against humanity!”

“Guys. If I’m meeting a married man, can’t I just write it off as a married man?”

Baek Seol-hee burst out laughing at the two S-class people’s argument.

“No matter who the guy is, just think positively. Even if I give birth to a child, I won’t force you to participate in external events. Because I have an alter ego.”

“That’s….”

“and.”

Baek Seol-hee slowly raised her head to the ceiling.

“Don’t worry, even if the devil of Pandemonium appears, we will be able to deal with it without any need to use Gwang-ikong, and even if the pregnant Baek Seol-hee sets herself on fire, we will be able to deal with it sufficiently. It would be nice if you could help too. Um…Yoonji?”

“Yes?”

“If I get permission, I will introduce you to someone. Someone who can be of great help with this ability. And if you guys get to S+ level…”

Smirk.

“I’m really going to take parental leave. Don’t leave this country, don’t let everyone worry.”
