Chapter Index

    Hahahaha!

    Loud laughter floated across the sea, carried by the wind. As the sun rose, the sea’s surface reflected the light, as if it had been ground up and sprinkled with that laughter.

    The sunlight filtered gently through the silvery waves, making the white hull of the ship shine even brighter.

    But this ship was no ordinary cruise ship.

    The identity of this ship standing tall on the sea is a cruise ship boarded by superpowered members of the Justice League.

    This place, which had fallen into their hands almost by force, was being transformed to suit the tastes of its new owners.

    Boom! Boom!

    “Try to blow it a little hotter!”

    “Do you think this is easy? If you don’t want to see me bursting, just keep your mouth shut!”

    “Can’t you control that? This won’t work! Come out! Let me try!”

    Superpowered people who had drunk a lot of alcohol poured useless attacks into the air, creating a spectacle that looked like fireworks.

    Even though the sun was up, the deck was bathed in a rainbow of bright lights.

    Judging by the dents here and there, it seemed like the superpowered people in the physical world had been fighting each other.

    The cruise ship boasted quite luxurious facilities, just as Minho had expected.

    Even though it was badly damaged by superpowered people who used it roughly, claiming it was not theirs, the expensive interior materials and furniture made of high-quality wood still maintained their dignity.

    As evidence, the main restaurant still had its chandeliers and marble columns intact despite the wild parties taking place there.

    “How much further do we have to go?”

    A woman with a dumpling head and wearing a cheongsam grumbled, resting her chin on one hand.

    She sat on an ornate chair and looked down at the restaurant from a high platform.

    Her name is Lin Xiaomei.

    She was a woman with supernatural powers capable of controlling plants and was the leader of the Justice League.

    If you simply hear about her ability to control plants, it may seem like a trivial superpower, but those who have witnessed her combat have never been able to disparage her abilities.

    The plants she handled, no matter what kind, grew to the size of a building in an instant and became as strong as steel wire. When those plants spread their stems and crushed you from all directions, it was not a battle, but something closer to a disaster.

    Except for the fact that there were a few gaps when the plant first grew in size, it was practically a supernatural power that made everything work together perfectly.

    There is a downside to not being able to perform well if there are no plants around, but where in the world these days is there a place without a single tree or grass?

    Surprisingly, most bustling cities are legally required to create green spaces in certain areas, and they have many street trees, so it’s easy to come across plants. Even in the cracks between the asphalt and cement in back alleys, weeds grow.

    This cruise ship, where the only plants were ornamental flowers planted in pots, could be said to be the place where she was at her weakest.

    Perhaps, the reason he complained like that was because of his anxiety.

    Chen Ruiying, her friend and the number two leader of the Justice League, spoke up.

    “We will arrive at Incheon Port in about an hour.”

    She ran her slender index finger over the back of the chair and skillfully coaxed Lin Xiaomei.

    “So just hold on a little longer. When you arrive, you’ll be able to see Myeongdong and Hongdae, where you used to sing so much. It wasn’t that long of a journey to begin with, right? What’s so hard about sitting comfortably?”

    However, since they were such close friends, he spoke to the leader in a rather informal manner.

    In fact, the Justice League was a very new group, so the title of leader did not have much authority.

    “Ugh… It’s so boring. Those girls aren’t pirates or anything, they just play around and make noise all day long.”

    Lin Xiaomei frowned and turned her gaze toward the restaurant where the party was taking place.

    At the tables where each group was gathered in small groups, champagne and fancy snacks were messily spread out, and some people were already so drunk that they were crawling on the floor.

    It is truly a sight beyond compare.

    Chen Ruiying also didn’t like their behavior.

    However, if he tried to ruin the party atmosphere by trying to establish discipline here, he would definitely be kicked out of the Justice Alliance by his subordinates without any distinction between superiors and inferiors.

    The Justice League’s superpowered members, contrary to their name, are practically criminals.

    People who were usually dissatisfied with the government, people who filmed manipulated videos as they were told and then ran away after being shocked by the revelations, people who didn’t want to join the Blue Dragon Corps and lived in hiding, but when the Justice Alliance was organized, they thought it was the right time to join, etc.

    It is not the righteous who are always quick to take such positions, but the cunning ones who are waiting for an opportunity.

    Lin Xiaomei and Chen Ruiying were not much different.

    They too have dealt with a lot of government dirty work while in the Blue Dragon Group.

    Although not much information about the Justice Alliance is known to the outside world yet, if the truth were to come out later, the Justice Alliance would certainly be ridiculed for its members who did not live up to its name.

    That was partly the reason why they left China in a hurry and moved to Korea.

    Chen Ruiying shook her head slightly to shake off the unpleasant thoughts and deliberately spoke in a bright voice.

    “So, what are you planning to do first when you arrive in Korea?”

    “Well. Korean men are pretty handsome. Should I try hunting?”

    It goes without saying that for them, hunting was not something like a gentle love affair, but rather something closer to literally hunting men.

    At that moment, Lin Xiaomei’s eyes brightened, perhaps because the topic of men had come up, and she spoke with a sinister smile.

    “I heard there’s a famous male hero named Ignis in Korea?”

    “That’s right. It’s almost like he’s treated as a national hero.”

    “While recruiting heroes, I should try to seduce that guy. If it’s a guy like that, I should step forward and recruit him myself. Hehe… Will he fight well in bed?”

    He was drooling all by himself without even thinking about who would give him rice cakes.

    Rather, it was something he could say because he had no idea that Minho had recruited a Chinese psychic named Feng Liu as his colleague.

    Chen Ruiying immediately stopped her from going after Ignis as soon as she arrived in Korea.

    “But once you arrive in Korea, you have to understand the surroundings. You’re busy controlling the women who are just drinking down there. If you cause trouble for no reason, our range of movement will be limited.”

    “We are still Chinese even though we are on a boat and have left for a while. Do you think Korea can treat us carelessly unless we commit terrorism? We have a lot of heroes compared to our population, but it’s not like we can do that much.”

    Lin Xiaomei’s sinister smile grew fierce.

    Among those partying there, there were some people who really thought they were from a great country and were going to liberate the superpowered people in Korea.

    The two men did not believe such nonsense, but thanks to that excuse, they were able to board the ship and head to Korea.

    Although they looked down on their subordinates and called them pirates, they could not hide the fact that they themselves had a pirate-like mindset.

    They truly believed that Korea could not stop the progress of the Justice League.

    Unlike them, who are all united under the name of Justice Alliance, Korea is in a situation where people are scattered in the form of a hero office.

    Although compatibility is the most important thing in a fight between superpowered people, when there are this many people, the difference becomes meaningless.

    “Let’s have fun in Korea, observe the situation in China, and then return with new superpowered people. Then, our Justice Alliance can become an organization representing superpowered people in all of China. Not a government-affiliated organization like the Blue Dragon Corps, but an independent organization.”

    Lin Xiaomei’s eyes burned with ambition.

    But Chen Ruiying poured cold water on her boiling desire.

    “But… I heard that Ignis is in Japan right now.”

    “What?!”

    Lin Xiaomei jumped up from her seat in surprise.

    Although it is called an information society, the Chinese government is a country that actively enforces information control.

    Thanks to that, they heard the news that Minho was active in Japan, but they didn’t know that quite some time had already passed since he had quietly returned to Korea.

    “Damn, that’s too bad. When I was confused, I wanted to contact you first.”

    Lin Xiaomei bit her thumbnail and sighed deeply.

    “… Well, it’s a shame, but there’s nothing we can do. Still, we’ll come back when news gets out that we’ve arrived in Korea. At that time, we can threaten them with numbers and tell them what our subordinates will do in Seoul if they don’t join hands with us. ”

    After forcibly holding them by the side of the Justice Alliance in that way, they could slowly persuade them with force or money.

    That’s the moment Lin Xiaomei roughly plans to plunder Korea’s superpowered people, including Ignis.

    Kugu-kung-!!

    The entire cruise ship suddenly shook with a loud noise as if an earthquake had occurred.
