“What did Minho do, the person who was supposed to be the main character turned into a complete villain and almost caused a big problem… ”
“When a mutant the size of a house appeared in front of me, I thought it was over. Fortunately, Minho showed up and took care of it in an instant, so the refugee camp was able to survive… ”
Before I knew it, Janie was standing in front of the women, telling them about her experience. The other women were listening to her story with interest.
It is impossible to contain my curiosity because it vividly conveys stories that cannot be experienced in reality.
‘It seems like the atmosphere has improved a lot…’
Now I can see that it would be much more effective to leave the persuasion to Janie.
“A woman? Minho does like women. The reason we became like this was because Minho was so open about it. I felt like I was tricked, but I still admire him for caring for his woman.”
… … Even though my image was slightly damaged, the level of resistance to accepting what Janie said, who was in the same position as them, said was very different from what I said myself, which sounded like excuses.
‘It’s a little hard to just sit there and watch someone else tell my story…’
It is an undeniable fact that the tense atmosphere that was about to break loose was relieved thanks to Janie’s storytelling.
She didn’t just reveal information that was favorable to me, like the fact that I was married to Namgung Hwa-ran. Instead, she talked about how, even considering the shortcomings of a human being, I have great strengths.
At that moment, Olivia, who had been quietly listening to Janie, raised her head as if remembering something.
“Wait a minute, so that’s what you meant when you said Minho was a secret agent? In a way, an agent is like a government agent in that world!”
“… Have I ever said something like that?”
I tried to remember if I had ever said something like that to Olivia, but she spoke faster than I could recall the memory.
“When I rescued you from being kidnapped! When I asked how you could come so quickly, you said it was a secret and that Minho was actually a secret agent!”
‘ah…!’
Hearing her words reminded me of something.
Sure… I said something like that when I saved her by tracking down the bracelet that had the scent of Chae Jong-hyang on it.
At the time, I had completely forgotten about it because it was just an excuse I made up to get along with the police when they asked how I was able to find Olivia so quickly.
But now that I think about it, what I said back then wasn’t exactly a lie.
To be exact, it is not a simple secret agent position, but rather an organization I created myself, but in any case, it is true that I am a member of a secret society.
Awaken is also a secret organization of androids who hide their true identities, and they recently created a new group called Cyphers.
Olivia’s thoughts must have reached that point too, as she looked at me with drowsy eyes.
“There’s a terrorist organization that’s been very active in the US recently. Could it be…that’s related to Minho?”
“Well, no comment on that… ”
“Stop joking and be honest.”
It seemed like my mind wasn’t quite set yet, and I couldn’t just let it slide. I sighed softly and nodded. After all, I had decided to tell everything today without hiding anything.
“That’s right. Cyphers is also an organization I belong to. To be exact, it’s an organization I run.”
“Is that true? Minho is the leader of the Cyphers?”
“Well, I guess so.”
Olivia’s eyes widened at my answer.
The other women were all Koreans with little connection to the United States, so they seemed a little surprised and didn’t really seem to think much about it, but Olivia seemed quite shocked because it had happened in her own country not long ago.
‘I wonder if it’s okay?’
I asked Olivia cautiously, since it wasn’t at all unusual for her to have negative views of Cyphers due to her parents being lawyers.
“Are you disappointed?”
But Olivia’s reaction was more bland than expected.
“Huh? Why me?”
“You said it was a terrorist organization. I guess it sounds a bit weird… It’s true that they actually committed terrorism.”
“Well, I said that because the news kept calling it a terrorist organization. And in fact, all the victims of terrorism were criminals, right? My dad always says that the law seeks justice, but those who use it seek their own gain. In fact, bad guys know the law better and use it as a weapon. In fact, among the guys targeted by Cyphers this time, there were some who kidnapped kids younger than me and committed terrible acts, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Good job! Those guys should all be sent to hell! Come to think of it, Minho’s role as Ignis is perfect for him. He actually has the superpower to control fire, and he beats up bad guys in real life too!”
Instead, Olivia praised me loudly.
Even though her parents were lawyers, she was probably a typical American who was crazy about heroes who punish criminals.
“Ever since his days as an agent, Minho’s characteristic has been that he is merciless to criminals but weak to children.”
After hearing what Janie had to say, Olivia nodded as if she finally understood.
“Well… Most secret agents are playboys, so is Minho one of them?”
“… Who says all secret agents are womanizers?”
“It’s like that in all movies. Not only is it a honey trap, but they also participate in parties and steal information and items. If you’re a secret agent with superpowers, it goes without saying.”
“… … .”
Olivia seemed to understand me better because she had seen so many movies.
She ran her finger over her lips and said with a solemn expression.
“… I decided.”
“What decision?”
“I don’t care if Minho is a playboy. As long as he promises not to make me lonely, I’m fine.”
The surprised group’s gaze was focused on her.
Olivia was the first to raise the white flag. As soon as she saw Janie, she glowed with hostility like a cat that had met an enemy.
I also thought that she would be difficult to persuade because she seemed to be possessive, but the result was unexpected.
Janie asked her on behalf of everyone.
“May I ask why you made that decision?”
“There’s no point in making a fuss about not accepting it, right? I don’t know about other people, but Minho is strangely obsessed with age, so I haven’t done enough romantic things with Minho yet! If I give up here, our relationship will end… I don’t want that!”
She looked at me with tears in her eyes, as if she was overcome with emotion while speaking.
Rather than accepting this situation, I chose to acknowledge my philandering nature because I couldn’t give up on myself.
As Olivia declared so, the mood of the other women changed as well.
They just felt reluctant to share me with someone else. They didn’t want to give up on me.
“I don’t want to break up with Minho oppa either. I wanted to do a couple stream later on… ”
“The problem is that Minho is too charming… It doesn’t seem like the others will give up either?”
Sarah and Moon Ji-yu muttered with dejected expressions.
Olivia’s words seemed to have brought him halfway to his conclusion.
“… … .”
But Jeong Su-jin’s expression was strange. She was looking at her smartphone instead of focusing on the conversation she had been actively participating in just a moment ago.
I approached Jeong Su-jin, who suddenly became speechless.
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
She muttered in a dazed voice, as if she hadn’t fully come to her senses despite my question.
“Dad… Dad is missing… !”

Secret societies with overlapping areas of activity sometimes come into conflict with each other. In fact, that happens quite frequently.
The most important identity of a secret society is its secrecy.
The secretiveness of achieving what one wants through connections made from the top of one’s head without anyone knowing. Because of this, it is very rare for the lower-level officials in charge of practical work to know about the work of the secret society they belong to.
The reason the kidnapper that Minho interrogated knew something was because he was a person from a prestigious family with connections to high-ranking officials.
Since they fought over territory without knowing each other’s existence, it was common for them to find out the truth only after the fight had escalated, or for them to not know that the other party was a secret society even after all the staff had been swept away.
Since leaders usually run diversified businesses, it is rare for them to be cut off in a single turf war, so they often have similar conflicts over and over again.
To summarize, what I’m saying is that clashes between secret societies happen quite often, and people who get involved in them often end up suffering damage without even knowing it.
The reason why Jeong Su-jin’s father went missing was also similar.
Maria told Minho what she had found out.
-Master, the investigation revealed something surprising. Terence Millard, Jeong Su-jin’s father. He used to be a member of a secret society.
