Chapter 168 – #169 Shall We Throw the Bait?
#169 Shall we throw the bait?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know why they disclosed the advanced technology of nanoparticles. After all, the person in charge of this project was my woman.
‘I’ll have to ask on the bed.’
You will probably be able to hear in detail how this work was carried out and for what purpose it was made public.
‘By the way, it’s nanotechnology… I wonder if there’s a place I can use it for?’
Given the premise that commercialization will take time, the technology will not be released on the market right away.
Still, there are nanoparticles that have been developed so far, so I can use them too. No matter how much I don’t work at a company, my name is not a royal family! Mind! Give me one too!
But even with that, I’d rarely use nanoparticles. Because I, a level 10 body enhancer, won’t get hurt anywhere.
If you’re going to pick something useful, underwater breathing isn’t bad…
‘But what am I going to fight in the water?’
The only places with water were underground passages, mountains, and the sea. But I don’t have to fight with anyone else there.
‘But I’ll have to take one with underwater breathing.’
I had to pack things I didn’t know if I would use or not. Because it’s a rare item in Dark City!

The reporters who were invited to the party and attended the party were enthusiastic about the appearance of the Sanctuary Armor. As soon as Gina finished speaking, they rushed to the podium and scrambled to ask Gina questions.
However, Jina was more cold-hearted and mischievous than I thought.
“When do you think the commercialization of Sanctuary Armor will be possible?!”
“The information we’re going to reveal today is the video you saw earlier and what I showed you. Information about the Sanctuary Armor will be released sequentially later. So, reporters, please put down your reporter status for a while and enjoy the party to your heart’s content.”
“Just one word please!”
“By the way, please do not turn on the camera to prevent any mishaps during the party. Also, I don’t want to cause any inconvenience to the staff or family. If you disobey my words, you will be kicked out, so you know that.”
“Mr. Valgina! Ms. Balgina!”
As Gina stepped down from her podium, reporters followed her like ducklings following their mother. However, she was stopped by bodyguards who soon approached.
A reporter ignored Gina’s warning and took out her camera and took a picture of Gina’s back as she left.
Click-!
When the flash went off, the bodyguard snatched the camera from the reporter’s hand.
“Uh, what?!”
“Please leave.”
“This, this is suppression of the press! Give me the camera!”
“Yes, suppression of the press. So please get out.”
“These bastards! Do you know who I am?!”
“I don’t know. What are you doing? Get it out!”
“Four!”
“Uh, uh uh?! I-don’t let this go?! Let this go!”
The reporter was dragged away by the bodyguards. She didn’t even return the camera she took away.
Whether it’s a trashy or a real journalist, I thought for a moment that such an attitude would not be good…
In order for the article written by a reporter to have power, there must be an article that sympathizes with it. Even if you talk about it for a hundred days alone, it will not be of any help if other reporters do not provide fire support from the side.
Because of today’s incident, that reporter has a grudge and writes an article with a bad story about Sanctuary, so will other reporters help? Turning Sanctuary into an enemy?
The answer to this question did not need to be checked later. I was able to check the answer even now.
The reporters did not protest even though the same reporter was being dragged away. Rather, he quickly hid his camera in his bag in case it was stolen.
“After all, people must have power.”
It is not different for a person to be ‘A’ quality and being ‘B’ quality. Because there is no power
“By the way, where is our Alice? What time? That woman…?”
I looked around her for Alice. Ellis was holding a toast with Gina and her teammates who worked on this project together.
Ellis is very weak in her drinking… She will take good care of Gina.
Anyway, while I was looking for Alice, another beauty caught my eye.
‘Are you the ice queen?’
It was the Ice Queen.
Oh, since I’m not wearing an ice mask right now, should I call you Han Ji-min?
Anyway, I thought that the heroes were all busy these days, so she wouldn’t come here, but somehow she seemed to have time left.
Han Ji-min’s father is Han Seon-hyeok, one of the directors of Sanctuary, and therefore she was also entitled to attend this party.
Director Han Seon-hyuk was nowhere to be seen and she was sitting alone in her chair, working on her cell phone. Her face was very serious as she looked down at her phone to see if she was playing a game.
‘Mom and Dad have already gone to spend time alone…’
The two, still burning, left immediately after Gina’s announcement. It seemed like they had just come to the hotel and had a hot time.
‘Gina and Ellis are busy hanging out with her staff…’
Looking at the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like it would come to me soon.
‘That means…’
I am free, Han Ji-min is also free.
‘Gazua!’
I went to the table where Han Ji-min was with a wine glass in one hand.
Come to think of it, Han Ji-min was unexpectedly slowing down her attack. She was the hero I met on the first day I woke up in this world. Even though she is, she still has a little crush on her, but she hasn’t been able to properly attack.
As a (self-proclaimed) master of non-yeonsi, I still haven’t been able to seduce a woman!
Of course, it’s a trap that the woman is an A-class hero with an S-class in front of her eyes, but it’s true that she couldn’t flirt anyway.
I will restore my shattered pride by making the Ice Queen my woman!
She was so focused that I couldn’t take my eyes off her phone until I stood right next to her.
‘What game were you not playing so hard on…?’
He had a very serious expression on his face, so I wondered if he was concentrating on playing the game, but he wasn’t. Han Ji-min was texting someone.
‘The president of the association? Chairman of the Valencia Association?’
The moment Han Ji-min checked who she was texting, I noticed that she wasn’t present at this event simply because she is the daughter of director Han Seon-hyuk.
‘Are the associations watching closely?’
The only people invited here today were company employees, their families, and a few reporters. People from the Hero Association or other corporations were not invited.
In the Sanctuary company, which always maintained a close relationship, they suddenly did not invite them out of the room, so they seemed to suspect that there was something else going on.
‘… Oh yes!’
At that moment, a way to seduce Han Ji-min and become a closer relationship came to mind in my head.
I smiled and knocked on the table.
Smart-!
“Hello? Did we meet again?”
“Aww! Who, who… Uh? You…”
Han Ji-min, startled by the sound of knocking on the table, hurriedly hid his phone and looked up at me. His eyes widened like a rabbit’s.
“How is this… Oh, that’s right. They’re from the royal family.”
“Yes. Actually, I didn’t want to come, so I was forced to come.”
Haha…”
Han Ji-min gave me a shy smile as if I wasn’t happy. However, there was no way that I, who had already organized her strategy in my head, would just go. I sat across from her.
“True. Director Han Seon-hyeok, where did you go? Can’t you see?”
“My father left saying he was talking to other people for a while.”
“Oh yeah? Then maybe it’s just the two of us for a while?”
“Yes?”
“Heh. No. More than that, is the time okay?”
“Why?”
At her question, I took a sip of wine and shrugged. I didn’t forget to put a light smile on my lips.
“As you can see, I’m bullied in my house.”
“Are you bullied?”
“Yes. That’s why I’m wandering around this large party hall all by myself.”
“Fuck. Is that so?”
Han Ji-min burst into laughter. Confirming that her reaction wasn’t bad, I threw the bait.
“By the way, Jina picked something really interesting this time. Sanctuary Armor… If you have that, you mean that even a person without psychic powers like me can act like a psychic? Hey, I’m already looking forward to it. What would it feel like to become a psychic?”
“I’m looking forward to it? Why?”
Her eyes twinkled. I threw the bait I threw.
If you were to pick the busiest person in the Hero Association, it would be the president of the Valencia Association. As the head of an armed group, there must be a lot to do and a lot to care about.
The busiest people after the president of the association were A-class heroes.
There are S-class above A-class, but since S-class heroes have to prepare for the appearance of S-class villains, it was actually A-class heroes who led lower-class heroes to the scene of the incident.
And Ice Queen, who is the most active among them, attended the party wearing a dress instead of a costume.
Naturally, her purpose was the Sanctuary Armor announced today, and of course she had no choice but to bite the bait I threw.
“Well, of course I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be able to do things I’ve never experienced before.”
“But it’s still a long way from commercialization.”
“Commercialization is far away, so it doesn’t mean I have nothing to write, right?”
“Umm~ I see… Mr. Jeongnam is the older brother of Mr. Balji or Director, so maybe I can get one?”
“Ah~ Can we become one? We have three abilities, so of course we should try using all three.”
“… Wow.”
Swoop-
Her eyes twinkled and she leaned her body towards her table with her subtle nudge. Because her breasts were quite fine in the dress, she naturally swelled her immaculate breasts.
‘Is that enough… C?’
She was truly fortunate. She’s an A-class hero, so I was worried that her breasts might be A, too, but it wasn’t at all.
“I’m so envious. I want to try on that Sanctuary Armor…”
‘Poop!’
Han Ji-min spoke in a soothing voice, and I almost burst out laughing at that appearance. Because the corners of his mouth were quivering. It seemed he wasn’t used to seducing men and stealing information from them.
‘Well, who uses the Ice Queen as a spy?’
If anyone tried to use the Ice Queen as a spy, he must have no idea what the right place was.
Anyway, since I was a spy, there was one guy that came to my mind.
‘Who was he? He had an agent whose name I don’t remember but was from K.T.V (Kill The Villein).’
One of the Anti-Villain Response Special Forces members from the Hero Association was among those captured when the scorpion was killed earlier. He had ripped out the information roughly and handed it over to the Intercessor to deal with it.
The last time I saw him, he had his head shaved against a barricade and had a skull tattoo on it. Maybe?
‘If he’s still alive, I’ll make him a shooting instructor.’
Because they did not learn to shoot professionally, the shooters were not good at shooting. If he learns from an expert, his marksmanship will improve a bit.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use the old ones as consumables after developing their capabilities and then consuming them?
“Uh…Then would you like to join us when you use the Sanctuary Armor?”
“Really? Can I?”
“Of course. And I don’t know what to say, but I want to be friends with Jimin-ssi.”
“Yes? Friend…?”
“Yes. I don’t know if you know it, but I don’t have any friends. Because I poured all of my 20s into sports… I don’t have any friends. How is it? It’s a bit cowardly, but if you can be friends with me, I’m going to go to Sanctuary. I’ll let you do it together when you use the armor.”
“Ummm…”
Han Ji-min’s eyes moved up and down and scanned me. I was sure she would accept my offer of her to be her friend.
My value isn’t just in Sanctuary Armor.
As the eldest son of the Val family, I may be aware of a number of secret projects underway at Sanctuary. Of course, I don’t really know anything, but this possibility alone was enough for her to take my hand.
Besides, you’re a second-generation conglomerate as a bonus, aren’t you? The second generation of a conglomerate with no bad rumors and integrity.
“Okay. Then let’s be friends.”
“Thank you. Wow! I made a friend!”
I took her outstretched hand. Her hands were soft and surprisingly warm.
‘Look forward to it.’
It won’t take long for a friend to become an older brother and an older brother to become a master.
