Chapter 441 – #442 I Became a Villain to Protect My Family
#442 I became a villain to protect my family
The godmother, who opened her eyes, looked me straight in the eyes and asked.
“Will you become the crime lord and usher in an age of chaos in the Dark City or an age of peace? What does Steel Armor want to do by ruling the Dark City?”
“…”
I paused at the godmother’s question. I was embarrassed because it was a much more serious question than I thought.
A time of chaos and a time of peace.
My godmother wondered what kind of era I would bring as the crime lord ruling the Dark City.
Will you let go of all the crimes that happen in the dark city, or will you create a world without crime?
“Why are you curious about that?”
“I can’t help but wonder. The Dark City you rule is the space where my children will live. Of course, wouldn’t you be curious to know what kind of personality and ideals the man who will become the future emperor has?”
“Hmm.”
I crossed my arms at the godmother’s question.
‘What shall I answer?’
I have no idea now. Because there is no idea
Why do I want to take over the Dark City? There is no such thing.
George Mallory is a famous mountaineer from New Zealand. Someone asked him why he climbed Everest, and he replied ‘because the mountain is there’.
Now I did
Why are you trying to take over the Dark City? The Dark City is there, so I want to have it. So, of course, I had no idea what I was going to do after taking over the Dark City.
‘Can’t I be honest?’
Hearing my honest feelings, my godmother might swear, ‘Hey, you crazy bastard!’ Although I can’t imagine the appearance of her swearing godmother… She was in a situation where she could swear enough anyway.
He must have decided to come under me after seeing the strength and charisma (?) I showed. I said it was an alliance out of respect for my godmother, but honestly, it’s an alliance, but in reality it’s as if the godmother came under me.
If I had continued to fight on the spot, many of my men would have died, but in the end, the godmother and the Ploen family would have been annihilated.
Anyway, if I don’t say it straight here, the godmother can become a jet stream.
‘Should I drag some time?’
“Before I answer, there is something I want to ask my godmother.”
“What are you curious about?”
“Why did Godmother become a villain?”
“Why did she become a villain…”
The godmother shed her horsetail. She was looking at me and recalling her own past.
As expected, bringing up the past is the best way to pass the time when dealing with the elderly.
“An old man’s story about the old days won’t be interesting, will it be okay?”
“Sure. Why isn’t there such a saying? A nation that forgets its history has no future. A future only exists when there is a past. And those elders really like old stories.”
Actually, I don’t like it very much, but I can’t help it to pass the time. Spit on her mouth and eagerly induced her godmother’s past.
The story of the godmother began.
“Then let me talk about myself for a moment. When I became a villain… Come to think of it, a lot of time has passed. It’s already been 50 years since I became a villain.”
“If it’s 50 years…”
“Yes. When I was 17, I awakened my psychic powers and committed murder.”
“Uh…”
You committed your first murder when you were 17? This was a bit embarrassing. If you’re 17, that means you’re in high school.
“My father was a very kind man. He never said anything bad about anyone and devoted himself to his family. I wish everyone were as nice as my father… But that’s not the case. The world is a cruel place for good people. .”
“…”
“My father gave me a guarantee. I heard that a junior at the company asked for it very earnestly. My father couldn’t refuse the request… And soon after, the house got a red ticket. It turned the house into a mess.”
It was obviously a heartbreaking story, but the godmother continued to speak calmly. Time has dulled her wounds.
“I got angry because I had nothing to take. He beat my father, mother, brother, and me because there was nothing to pay. It was very unfair. We had to be assaulted even though we had done nothing wrong. My father tried to protect us, and then passed away. .”
“A man hit my father on the head, and he died right away. Maybe it was a mistake. They were also embarrassed that he wasn’t breathing. But… They did something they shouldn’t have done.”
The moneylenders tried to kill the godmother and her mother and brother to erase the traces of their murder. One morning, her family died.
When the devil’s demons reached her godmother, the godmother awakened her psychic powers. She and she tore to death all the moneylenders on the spot.
“I was so angry. I cried for a long time on the spot because I was so resentful and unfair.”
“… I understand. Even if it were me, I would have torn them to death.”
“No.”
“Yes?”
“I was so angry at myself for awakening my superpowers only after my family did that. If I had awakened my superpowers one minute, just one minute earlier, my family wouldn’t have died. It was only one minute late, so I couldn’t protect my family.”
“…”
‘I’m fucking going crazy.’
Her godmother told her indifferently of her own painful past. And I cursed inwardly. Saying she was wasting her time, she opened her godmother’s wounds. She’s sorry and looks like she’ll turn around.
I have to stop listening now.
“I, Godmother. You can stop talking now…”
“Fortunately, my brother was alive and not dead. If it was wrong for him, I would have killed myself on the spot. .I made up my mind even for my younger brother.”
“…”
Her godmother’s mouth didn’t stop once she got her talking. In the end, I had to keep listening to her painful past. Swallow…
“But the misery didn’t end there.”
The godmother was arrested by the heroes who were dispatched after receiving a report. She was tried, and she was sentenced to life imprisonment for manslaughter.
“… Life imprisonment? Not in self-defense?”
“Yes. The reason is that I am a psychic.”
“No, what the fuck… Oh, sorry. Is there such a case?”
“Thank you. For being angry with me. I found out later that among the people I killed was a son of a high-ranking official. They said he was a child of the family… Well, even if he was a child, he was a child, right? He said he used pressure on the judge. .”
“Under…”
Fucking connections.
After all, a person must have power no matter what. Without power, he can’t defend himself… Huh? Wait for a sec?
“But how does godmother know that?”
“How do you know? I know because I investigated it myself. I was sentenced to life imprisonment, but I ran away right away. When I was imprisoned, there was no one to take care of my brother, so I ran desperately. Then I hid with my brother.”
“Hmm.”
Anyway, the godmother of childhood is also not common. Running away from there… Huh? But this is also something strange.
It was good that she ran away, but how did the young godmother who had just awakened her psychic powers break through the siege of the heroes and escape?
‘Was there a helper?’
“Has anyone helped you?”
“Holhol~ As expected, Steel Armor-kun is clever. Yes, that’s right. The B-class hero [Hard-Boiled] Helped me and my younger brother to live in hiding.”
“Hard-boiled?”
What’s the most popular hero name?
“Oh, that man is not called by that name now. Marco Valencia, the current president of the Hero Association, helped me.”
“…”
‘Why is the president of the association here?’
Heard an unexpected name in an unexpected place. No, that nobleman did such a good thing? Are you really surprised?
“He’s a very grateful person. I still keep in touch with him from time to time.”
The head of the Hero Association and the S-class villain are in private contact… Shouldn’t this be reported? Maybe I should report it for something?
“From then on, I lived a really tough life. Pickpocketing, selling drugs… Doing anything that really made money. Then I even killed the father of a dead moneylender who sentenced me to life imprisonment. How did you know where I lived? I sent a hero, and I sent an assassin once, and my younger brother got hurt and it really rolled his eyes.”
The eyes that had been looking at the past began to look at me, as if the end of the story was getting closer.
“Oh, this happened once. On my way back home, I was ambushed by hostile gang villains and almost died.”
“…”
Nope The story of the godmother’s past is far from over. I don’t know if I should say this… Her godmother was surprisingly talkative.
“I barely escaped and entered a house to hide myself. And there I met our outsider. It was a fateful meeting. He was such an innocent and kind person. A woman I had never seen broke into his house without permission…Aren’t you stomping your feet and asking me if I’m okay? That wasn’t enough, so I nursed me all night.”
“Ah, did you see me at the hotel back then…?”
“Yes, that’s right. That man.”
“Are the outsiders also psychic?”
“No. He doesn’t have superpowers. He’s a very cute guy.”
Ho-ho-ho- said the godmother with a girlish grin.
“Anyway, it’s been a long time. Being taken care of by someone. Somehow, it reminds me of my father. It was so warm and nice… I ran away as soon as the morning broke.”
“Yes? You ran away because you liked it? Why?”
“It’s a stupid idea, but at the time I thought I was bringing misfortune. So I was afraid that that person would do something wrong because of me.”
“But how did you end up meeting again and getting married?”
“Then I met that person again by chance… Then suddenly, isn’t that the nobleman proposing to me because he fell in love at first sight? That’s in the middle of a crowded street.”
“Wow.”
You are such a manly man
“At first, I refused coldly, but he kept chasing me. And every time I met him, he asked me to marry him… Eventually, I even got married.”
The story of the godmother ended there.
After she finished her story, she looked at me.
“You asked me why I became a villain? I became a villain to protect my family. It’s hard for a good person to protect a family. That’s why I became a villain. To make sure that no one can touch my family or drag my family into misfortune. For the sake of it.”
A woman who willingly walked the path of Sura to protect her family asks me.
“Have you thought about it now? So let’s hear what Steel Armor wants to do as ruler of the Dark City? Or should I give you more time to think?”
“This…”
I brought up her godmother’s past to give her time to think, but she already noticed what I was thinking. Anyway, one insight is awesome.
‘What do we do.’
She was enamored with her godmother’s story and did not give it a thought. Because I have no idea
But… I don’t think I need to think about it any more. Let me just speak my honest mind.
“I’m not sure either.”
“You don’t know?”
“Yes.”
“A person’s heart is a reed, so don’t you have a different mindset when you go to the bathroom and when you come out? Even if you say it nicely now, you might change your mind later when I rule the Dark City. It’s difficult, so sometimes I don’t understand myself.”
“…”
My godmother smiles and looks at me.
“So Godmother, please judge.”
“What?”
“It is unchanging that I rule the Dark City. It is a future thing, but since I decided to do so, it is a fixed future. This…”
Please block my way.
I was about to say that. Because no matter what my godmother does, it’s impossible to stop me. Instead she asked what she could.
“Godmother please scold me harshly.”
“You want me to scold you?”
“Are you going to hurt the people you love, aren’t you paying attention, then you’ll be alone, please scold me like this. Godmother is an adult. It’s an adult’s role to scold a child if he tries to go the wrong way. . Actually, I have a bit of a childish side.”
“Ho-ho-ho. Is that so?”
“Yes. I’m really excited and I’m only telling Godmother, so you have to keep it a secret?”
“Don’t worry. My mouth is as heavy as a thousand pounds.”
When she said it with a wink in her eyes (though she couldn’t see it because of her mask), Godmother smiled and nodded her head.
“I’m like my godmother. I’ll do anything to protect my family. Wouldn’t it be better to be happy with my family and together than to be happy alone?”
“Nice mindset. Yes, I understand Steel Armor-kun’s thoughts. Thanks for your time.”
“Nothing. It was a fun and informative time for me in many ways. Oh, and I’m sorry for bringing up the past. I made a mistake.”
“No. It’s the past that I can talk about casually now. Let’s have a meal sometime. We’ll be together from now on, so let’s get to know each other and get to know each other.”
“Meals are good. By the way, I eat a lot, so much that my godmother is surprised. Please don’t scold me later for eating too much.”
“It’s important to eat well at that age. Will it happen then?”
“Yes.”
After the conversation, my godmother and I came out of the cafe. But… The coffee didn’t come out until the conversation was over. What?
