Chapter Index

    “Off… ”

    Swish!

    He threw the villain who was moaning as he was caught in his grasp. I couldn’t see it, but through my sensitive hearing, I heard the sound of the guy who broke the window and flew out and landed on something hard.

    This is because this hideout is located right next to the coastal cliffs.

    Even though he is a villain, you may think that he is treated a little harshly, but that is not the case. I am now saving the tax money that our neighboring country, Japan, could have wasted by keeping criminals alive.

    And considering the damage suffered by good citizens due to these criminals, wouldn’t it be enough for me to receive a commendation for destroying villains in various ways?

    I am the man who comes to a neighboring country and becomes patriotic on their behalf.

    In fact, it was even more so because this hideout was filled with even worse people.

    I picked up a sealed plastic bag of white powder. It looked like flour on the outside, but the answer was obvious as there was no way a villain would store flour like this in his hideout.

    drug.

    ‘Of course it is. There’s no way I wouldn’t touch drugs.’

    I don’t know if it’s methamphetamine or cocaine. Those are the only two white powder drugs I know, so it could be something else.

    When I gently tore the bag and rubbed the powder between my index finger and thumb, I felt a texture like finely ground salt.

    -It’s methamphetamine. Looking at the facilities, it doesn’t seem like it was manufactured here, but rather it was brought in secretly from abroad.

    In that short period of time, Maria had analyzed the ingredients with nanobots and told me the identity of the white powder.

    The villain organization that came from Korea seemed to have absorbed or cooperated with the existing Yakuza and villains that existed in Japan’s backworld.

    Running an organization obviously consumes quite a bit of money. This is especially true for villains who are faithful to their instincts and desires.

    Even if there had been support from a powerful figure like Kang Hye-won in Korea, since the headquarters had been moved to Japan, it would have been necessary to raise funds locally.

    The Yakuza who were already manufacturing and selling drugs would have been good prey for the villains who came across the sea.

    ‘Regardless of the seriousness of the drug, it’s a bit of an obvious story.’

    I was confident that I would not be surprised if human trafficking was taking place in a hideout that I had not yet discovered.

    While I was thinking about that and picking up the drugs, Maria came to me.

    -But why are you keeping drugs in your inventory? Should we just burn it down along with the building?

    If Maria had a body now, she would definitely narrow her eyes and look at me suspiciously.

    ‘Hmm… I’m not keeping it for my own use. I’m taking it because I’m sure I may need to use it somewhere later.’

    In movies, don’t they mix drugs and various things to make something like a confession?

    It may have been a bad idea since the basis of the evidence was a movie, but I thought that if I went back to the tower and asked Scarlett, she would do something.

    As Maria said, if she was an alchemist who gained notoriety in the original work, she would have a way to use these drugs.

    Maria also agreed on that point.

    Of course, I was afraid that I might try drugs out of curiosity, so I advised him never to use them myself.

    The explosives I currently have in my inventory are enough to blow up a fairly large hill, but since she had never once told me to be careful about that, I felt a little unexpected.

    -If someone with the power of your master loses his senses while under the influence of drugs, it would be a disaster! Even if I use drugs, I can break down the ingredients as much as possible, but there is still something to be done.

    ‘okay. ‘I won’t do it.’

    Although I was curious, I didn’t really want to put something like that in my body. Even without the help of drugs or anything, after I got the ticket, every day was a happy time.

    ‘After all, these guys are a social evil.’

    Grumble!

    Without fail, I set fire to the hideout and grabbed the doorknob.

    Even if it is not a social evil, nothing will change as long as you decide to kill it, but it is true that it is easier to kill if you show it like this.

    So I opened the door leading to the next location.

    ***

    Inside a dark building.

    The spacious interior, reminiscent of a gym, is immersed in darkness without any lights.

    The only light to distinguish objects was the moonlight shining vaguely outside the window.

    Rustling…

    I saw a shadow moving in that space.

    “Are you sure you’re coming?”

    “You also saw the video from the camera installed in the hideout. It only took a few minutes for one branch to be finished.”

    “Honestly, I wish you wouldn’t come… ”

    “If you are caught saying such a thing, you will be beaten to death by an executive.”

    “Can you handle this difference in page count? You can’t even see clearly, but if you start getting hit, it’s over.”

    “That’s right. Did you say that superpower is also pyrokinesis? It’s not like I’m particularly stubborn.”

    “Well, for that matter… … .”

    “Shh. The voice gets louder. Quietly.”

    They were villains, hiding in the moonlight and chatting secretly. And those are the owners of the hideout that Minho is burning in real time.

    They all lowered their posture and were glaring at a door suddenly located in the center of the building.

    It was the door where Minho was expected to enter.

    This was the space where the villains prepared to greet Minho. A door was placed in the center of the large space, and cover was installed only in the space where the villain was hiding.

    There was a trap set up on the floor where you step across the door, and a door connected to the riverbed on the ceiling. It was designed so that at any time there was a signal, water from a nearby river could be drawn and poured over Minho’s head.

    It was a space designed as quickly as possible to only snipe Minho.

    “… How did I get my keys stolen, damn it. If it weren’t for the bitch who took the key away the first time, this wouldn’t have happened.”

    “That’s right.”

    They were silent for a moment, but the villains, who were not the type to tolerate silence, continued chatting quietly.

    “Honestly, if it weren’t for that bitch, Ignis? That male hero would have just done some volunteer work and then returned.”

    “Even if they went on patrol, they would have ended up in vain.”

    “Thanks to you, the loss is not that bad. It is safe to say that Kyushu has completely lost control.”

    Of course, not everyone was just complaining. Some villains saw the situation from a different perspective. He was a person who was usually evaluated by other villains as having a good sense of humor.

    “Well, it’s amazing that the superpower of moving through space is utilized to this extent in the first place. You weren’t expecting something that could even have a password like an electronic door lock, right?”

    “No matter what… ”

    “There was some damage, but it wasn’t a big deal.”

    “The organization was cut in half, but it’s not a big deal?”

    “Yes. If we just deal with Ignis here, all the obstacles blocking us will disappear. In fact, everything went smoothly until he appeared, right?”

    “That’s right.”

    “If only there was a person with the ability to move through space, the lost Kyushu region could be regained. At that time, we will be able to exert influence over the entire archipelago in earnest.”

    Then he lowered his voice a little and continued.

    “… Rather, it is fortunate that there are fewer competitors. You guys also want to take charge of each region and manage it, right?”

    “!”

    “The number of people with superpowers is already insufficient, but the area that needs to be managed is large. That means the number of regular Yakuza coming under us will increase. In terms of the company, it’s the same as a promotion.”

    The other villains who were listening to the story around them all nodded their heads in unison, thinking that finding something that would be beneficial to them in a situation like this was something they had a special insight into.

    At the time, they were actually inflating their expectations for what was to come.

    Slam!

    Good profit…

    Finally, the door in the center began to slowly open with a clicking sound.

    gulp…

    The bodies of the villains hiding in the dark flinched at the sound of someone swallowing.

    Those who were chatting wondered if they had swallowed their saliva unconsciously, and those who were not were also nervous and glaring at other colleagues around them.

    That meant they were nervous.

    It wasn’t a strange thing. Even though they had been chatting just a moment ago, the reason why all the thirty or so psychics had gathered in one place was the man coming through the door.

    Ignis reduced their hideouts to ashes one by one and eventually arrived here.

    “… … .”

    Nod.

    They had already completed dark adaptation and exchanged signals without opening their mouths to avoid giving information to Ignis.

    And the moment when Ignis finally appears.

    Ugh!!!

    The gravity superpower increased the gravity applied to him by about five times. Then the floor Ignis was standing on made a crackling sound and collapsed, unable to support his weight. Below it was a trap pit filled with sharp metal spears.

    When gravity changes so suddenly, it is normal for someone to lose consciousness unless they possess body-enhancing superpowers. Falling and skewering traps in situations where you cannot respond.

    It was clear that this would be the end of most superpowers, but the villains moved as planned.

    Quarrr!!

    River water poured onto the trap through a door connected to the ceiling.

    Superpowers can be used regardless of the environment, except when certain conditions are necessary, but that was only if the body was in normal condition.

    Even if you are lucky enough not to be killed instantly by a trap, you will still suffer at least serious injuries. As river water is pouring on it, the weight of the pouring water will drive the spear deeper. Even if you survive it, you cannot get your head out of the water until you overcome the increased gravity and drown. In the end, Ignis was destined to die one way or another.

    The villains thought so.

    “Did you get rid of it?”

    The moment someone mutters those words while feeling the wet river water up to your ankles.

    Sloshing.

    “Huh?”

    Villain, who had been mulling his brains, suddenly witnessed the flowing water of the river rippling around. I thought it was because of the water pressure, but that thought soon disappeared.

    Sloshing~

    Kwaaa!!!

    “!”

    This was because the suddenly pouring river started to run wild and sweep away the surrounding area, like a fire hose that had been let go.
