## Chapter 203 – Will It Be Overturned, or Will It Be Defended? (1)
***
“Nyaa…! I… I’ve obtained some incredibly important information.
The Executive Director and the executives… they seem to be plotting something strange.”
“Something strange, you say…? Tell me more.”
Having heard things from Rumi, who had handled countless important missions for the Union,
Si-yoon was already aware of information regarding the Executive Director and the executives who followed him.
He was also aware that they were displeased with Soo-ah, who was temporarily filling the position of President.
So, Si-yoon had assigned Chae-ryeong, who could create clones through her Doppelganger ability, to monitor them.
“Nyaa! I rushed over so quickly that I forgot about my tail and ears…!”
Chae-ryeong, only now realizing that she hadn’t hidden her tail and ears because she was in such a hurry,
instantly turned bright red and frantically tried to cover them with her hands.
“It’s okay since it’s just the three of us… You can sit down here and tell us slowly.”
Knowing that others might follow, Si-yoon completely locked the office door again,
and gave Chae-ryeong, who had rushed over, a glass of cool water.
“As you ordered, Master, I’ve been disguised as a female executive for the past few days,
and I’ve been attending the executive meetings that are held two or three times a day for no apparent reason.
Every time we have a meeting, everyone just says things that seem to flatter the Executive Director,
and no one tries to suggest any practical solutions.
Then, during today’s meeting, a young woman with pink hair suddenly entered
and proposed to give them the power to overthrow the Union using the bio-weapons she possessed.”
“A young woman… with pink hair…”
Si-yoon looked at Soo-ah at the mention of a young woman with pink hair.
Soo-ah seemed to flinch for a moment at those words, shaking her head to indicate it wasn’t her.
Of course, Soo-ah had been enjoying sex with Si-yoon until just now,
so she couldn’t possibly be in the executive’s temporary office building, which was who-knows-where.
In fact, Si-yoon had looked at her simply because she shared the same characteristic of pink hair.
“Yes. The executives all seemed to have no idea who she was…
But I knew exactly who she was, so I couldn’t help but be surprised.
That woman… is the former President who led the Dark Knights.”
“You don’t mean… the Kaiser President…?”
Si-yoon’s expression turned serious at the mention of the Dark Knights’ President.
Despite being in the position of President, she was the type of person who lacked any sense of responsibility,
having been quick to flee when the heroes’ attack came.
“I’m sure of it. I was the one who assisted the President most closely.”
The Kaiser President had taken Chae-ryeong, who had been captured by the research lab in the past,
and made her her subordinate, promising to help her get revenge.
Chae-ryeong believed in Kaiser’s promise and supported the Dark Knights organization for several years,
but even after the organization had established itself to some extent, Kaiser didn’t seem to have any intention of keeping her promise.
Even when the organization was on the verge of collapse, she only complained about her refuge,
and Si-yoon met her when her patience was gradually reaching its limit.
“Dark Knights…?”
Soo-ah, not knowing what it was, asked what it was when Si-yoon’s face changed and turned serious at the mention of Dark Knights.
“It’s a villain organization that Chae-ryeong and I used to be a part of.
The Kaiser President is the one who knew in advance that the heroes’ attack was coming and abandoned the organization to escape.”
“So that means… the President of a villain organization has reached out to the Executive Director…?”
The shocking fact that a former President of a villain organization had reached out to a powerful figure in the Hero Union.
She had known for a while that the Executive Director was a greedy person,
but it was hard to believe that he would even borrow the hand of a villain to seize power.
“I had my hair tied up and was dressed differently than usual…
So, she probably didn’t recognize that I was there, I think.”
“She might have recognized you and pretended not to… but it’s fortunate if she didn’t.
So, Kaiser and the Executive Director have joined hands?”
“At first, the Executive Director seemed hesitant.
He said that he would use the Union’s own power to fix the Hero Union.”
“The Union’s own power… coming from someone who did human experiments…”
Soo-ah clicked her tongue at the Executive Director’s absurd logic.
She still vividly remembered the appearance of those test subjects he had shown her,
so she couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when she heard his logic of using the Union’s own power.
“The Kaiser President was angry for a moment at the fact that she had been rejected…
Then, she suddenly started attacking the executives by extending thin, red threads from her hands.”
“Thin, red threads…? Did she fire something like lasers?”
“I was so surprised to see that that I dispelled my clone… so I didn’t see exactly what it was.”
The damage transmitted to the clone created using Doppelganger also affects the main body,
so the situation could become dangerous if some kind of attack or measure is taken.
She quickly dispelled the clone upon seeing the threads extending from Kaiser’s fingertips.
“I don’t know exactly what kind of power the Kaiser President has…
But what’s certain is that after that attack, the Executive Director and the executives will follow her opinion.”
“The fact that those people… are following her opinion is unbelievable.
They’re such stubborn people that ordinary words wouldn’t be enough.”
Considering what she had heard from her father before and what she had experienced,
she didn’t think that the Executive Director’s stubborn personality would be so easily꺾을.
“It must mean that she has that much powerful strength, as Chae-ryeong said.
Or… she might be controlling those guys at will using those red threads.”
If what came out of Kaiser’s hand was not a laser but something like a thin ‘thread,’
then it might not have any destructive power.
In one famous manga, a person who creates threads has tremendous destructive power,
but usually, abilities related to ‘threads’ are far from being powerful.
“The Executive Director’s side didn’t like you from the start anyway, Soo-ah…
So, it’s become certain that something will happen again soon.”
In fact, even if the Kaiser President didn’t necessarily join hands with the Executive Director,
the Executive Director would have been planning to drive Soo-ah out someday.
Moreover, now that Soo-ah has announced the fact that she is the new President in front of the people,
he will definitely do something to quickly deny that fact.
“What… are you going to do?”
Soo-ah cautiously asked Si-yoon what he was going to do with a serious expression.
It had become certain that another round of bloodshed would occur soon,
so it was important to know where Si-yoon would stand in that situation.
If he stood by Soo-ah’s side, he would be keeping the promise he had made to her a little while ago,
and he would be able to prove that Si-yoon had definitely become her patron.
But if Si-yoon broke that promise and instead sided with the Executive Director and Kaiser,
it would be the same as Soo-ah and the Hero Union facing their end.
“I told you earlier? I’m going to be your patron, Soo-ah.
And… I’m not someone who thinks highly of the Kaiser President.”
In fact, Si-yoon’s destructive activities and attacks on headquarters
were simply fulfilling actions that were true to his identity as a villain.
His goal was to become a powerful villain who doesn’t abandon his subordinates and organization,
and the reason he set that goal was because the Kaiser President had abandoned the organization and fled.
In the first place, he had ill feelings towards the Kaiser President,
and it was better to become the master of Soo-ah, the President of the Union, and gain even greater power.
“Did you think I would betray you because I’m a villain too?
I’d be a little disappointed if you thought that.”
Si-yoon tapped Soo-ah’s cheek with his finger, wearing a subtly playful smile.
“What about my position… having to worry between two villains?”
Soo-ah grumbled for no reason, but she felt a little relieved seeing Si-yoon’s attitude.
“I don’t know when those guys will start attacking…
But it’s best to go to a safe place first, as they might attack right now.”
“The Executive Director’s side probably knows Soo-ah’s location anyway.”
In the first place, the Executive Director and the executives should also be working in the same building as Soo-ah,
but they are refusing to come unilaterally and are staying in a separate building.
That means they can raid the building where Soo-ah is at any time.
“I told most of the employees to stay at home,
but I’ll take measures to have the few employees who came to work leave in advance in case something happens.”
“Soo-ah, you… can stay at my hideout for the time being, watching until something happens.”
“Hideout…?”
