Ep.152 Preparation
[The association said today that villain Mist had been officially designated as S-class. Based on her potential to threaten Shadow Walker]
“Oh, I’m an S-class.”
A week after the last terrorist attack.
In the living room, Seo Jayoung muttered while watching TV.
“Well, your S-class is half confirmed.”
Seo-eun, who was eating ice cream while sitting between where I was sitting and where Seo Jayoung was lying, replied so, mumbling with vanilla in her mouth.
[Meanwhile, Korean Villain Union Ego Stream has become an organization with a total of two S-class villains, including Mist and Moonlight Shaman]
“Hmm. Are Eun-wol and I the only S-class?”
“This is really unfair. Why am I not an S-class? No, I’m good at hacking and making a weapon that almost won Stardus. Something’s really wrong with this.”
Seo-eun, who was saying by shaking the spoon she was eating ice cream with, soon sighed, leaned her back on the sofa, and began to scoop again.
…Well, seeing Seo-eun eating it makes me crave ice cream. Should I bring another spoon?
[Meanwhile, netizens are wondering why Egostic, the union leader with two S-class villains, is still A-class…]
“Why are you an A-class again?”
“You don’t know? Maybe it’s because my force is weak. The promotion of something in the committee last time is being delayed. I think I’ve heard of it.”
“Hmm.”
In fact, Seo Jayoung answered slowly as if she wasn’t interested.
[This is the next breaking news. While the love scandal between Egostic and Mist has been heating up Korea for a week…]
“Tsk.”
Seo Jayoung, who was lying drowsy as if she was about to fall asleep soon, suddenly opened her eyes, woke up at a tremendous speed, grabbed the remote control, and changed the channel.
“……”
Meanwhile, as soon as the news came out, Seo-eun stopped in the position where she was unpacking the ice cream and stared at Seo Jayoung with a smile. Of course, it was a little scary since only her lips were smiling, and her eyes were not.
And Seo Jayoung, who changed the channel faster than anyone else, pointed to the TV with a slight cold sweat.
“Ha, haha… Overseas news is coming out here. Let’s take a look at this.”
“….”
While Jayoung was sweating while catching Seo-eun’s eyes, overseas stories were coming out on TV.
[The desert area of Mexico is completely off-limits. It’s impossible to get through because of the red lightning. This is the work of an S-class villain Python…]
[In Egypt, a villain who now calls himself the “Second Pharaoh” appeared, and the association declared a state of emergency. It’s shocking that many people are already following this villain…]
[The Eiffel Tower was attacked again in France. The Eiffel Tower, which has already been attacked dozens of times over the past three years, has been damaged by more than 70 percent this time and is in the midst of restoration work…]
Well, the world still seems to be steadily flowing into the mud.
With almost every country in the world suffering from a sudden increasing rate of
terrorism…
Perhaps soon, statistics will be released that the number of people with superpowers is gradually increasing. And the more capable will bring more terror, and the world will be confused day by day.
In fact, I think the number of heroes increases as the number of villains increases, but while the number of villains increases by 10, there is no answer as to whether there will be one more hero or not.
Of course, compared to the fact that other countries are becoming a mess day by day, our country is steadily defending itself… That’s because I prevented all the main terror attacks. For your information, there are many attacks to prevent in the future. Of course, it’s still before the main event of Wolgwanggyo. I’ll have some time.
“Come to think of it, I should meet Lee Seola.”
“Da-in, where are you going again?”
“Yeah. I’m going to discuss my business.”
I took out my cell phone.
Hmm… I should call first, right?
***
A few days later.
I was sitting opposite Lee Seola on the top floor of the Yuseong Enterprise.
Lee Seola still looks haggard and is leaning on the back chair, looking exhausted, but she still smiles slightly.
“Did something good happen to you after a long time?”
To my question, Lee Seola answered with a stretch.
“Oh, yeah, I do. Finally, I’ve almost taken control of all the major domestic companies.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. That VK company was the hardest one, but I just put their president there in jail for corruption with the documents you sent me, Da-in. Once I finish taking care of it to a certain extent, I can just focus on the political side.”
While saying that, she smiled proudly even when she looked tired.
…As expected, although it has slowed down a little, Lee Seola is gradually invading Korea like in the original.
Personally, as much as it was good for me as Lee Seola’s influence grew, I also praised her. The more we go into the second half of the original work, the better it will be to be unified by one person to overcome the crisis. That means I can interfere with everything.
After enjoying my compliment, she soon became a little dark and said to me with a smile.
“…Oh, right. And Da-in, I heard the news.”
“Huh? What?”
“I heard you are dating someone this time…”
I waved my hand in denial to her, who blurted out the end of the sentence.
“Oh, that. I’m not. She was just joking. There’s nothing between us.”
“…Really?”
“Of course. I don’t have time to date anyone anyway.”
She replied with a sigh of relief at my denial.
“…Well thought. I don’t think we have to do it because dating wastes our time and makes our work less efficient.”
…Well, I never said that.
Anyway, I also answered seriously to Lee Seola, who looked serious talking to me.
“Yeah. By the way, you know why I’m here this time, right?”
“…Hmm, because you want to see my face?”
“Of course, it’s because of work. What I said last time, PMC.”
“Oh, that…”
Lee Seola, who had been rummaging through the documents for a while at my words, soon took out a piece of paper and told me to take a look.
“I’ve looked into it, but there’s a bit of a problem because it’s intertwined with legal issues. But I actually think what will happen if I lobby this… “
“To be exact, I’m not just responsible for employment, but also for fostering.”
“Yeah, I have completed the corporate registration under the name of Yuseong PMC. Da-in, are you sure this is okay?”
“Yeah. Actually, whether it’s okay or not, if you think about the future, we must do it somehow.”
“…If that’s what you say then all right.”
I had a cup of tea, having such a conversation with her.
In the second half of the original work, the security of South Korea is almost at the point of collapse.
And one of the reasons is B and C-class villains.
In fact, it’s a problem how much class B and C are, they’re not strong enough to attack an airplane, but enough to go against civilians.
And a few years later, more children are awakened to their abilities, and the disorder of countless subordinate villains leads to a stage where governments and associations can barely manage security. On top of that, the number of heroes is still small as they cling to minor mistakes with strict national sentiment toward the unique heroes, even though they are not even rich. So they hide their abilities and then fall into the villain’s path.
In other words, considering there will be a messy future.
I have to do something before they all become a mess. And as much as that surplus power becomes significant later on, it must be preserved.
And at this time, Lee Seola’s role grows.
It will be helpful later if I can attract them with recognition and capital.
In fact, I was only aiming for the timing to ask for this, but I decided to suggest it because of Lee Seola’s mistake last time.
If you think about it, Lee Seola doesn’t want Korea to be a mess either. It’s going to be hers soon.
After having an in-depth conversation with Lee Seola about the plan to establish PMC and the plan to conquer South Korea in the future, I returned home.
Of course, it’s not a business to do immediately, but it’s just a rough foundation in advance. But I have to prepare ahead of time. Maybe it’s the first business I’m going to do. Since the name has been stolen from Stardus anyway, there is nothing more to lose.
After returning home, I announced it to the kids.
“This time, we’re going to hunt another villain.”
“Wow! Isn’t that the first time since Teleporter?”
“…Hey, do you also hunt villains? Isn’t that what a real hero does? “
“What are you talking about, this is my foundation. I became an A-class villain for this.”
“…Really?”
“That’s right. I helped him that time. I was the only one there.”
“…Hmm, Seo-eun? I was also there though?”
“Oh, right. Soobin was there, too! I was confused with the previous one hehe.”
…Well, the next plan is another villain assassination after a long time.
Since we’re doing this, I can also do an explanation broadcast with Mist.
So we started preparing for the next event.
Oh, fyi, the explanation of the love scandal is due to the great public interest. Actually, the most important person, Stardus, wouldn’t even care at all, so I don’t know if I have to. I’ll do it because the news is annoying. If it’s not the right timing, we don’t have to do it, right?
***
At that time, the Hero Association.
Shin Haru, a blonde hero sitting in front of her new desk.
She was thinking quietly with her arms folded against the sun.
“…Egostic, by all means. I need to hold on to it first.”
She murmured as if she had concluded.
And her eyes.
Unknowingly, they were burning.
***
“…No. Still, I have to do an explanation broadcast.”
“Of course you should, Da-in. You weren’t going to do it?”
“…Oh, that’s not it. I just made up my mind.”
It just came to my mind, but I feel like I’ll be in big trouble if I don’t do it. It’s been a long time since I felt this weird feeling.
Yeah, let’s start by clearing up that first, huh…
