It’s a Villain， but People Like It 9

Chapter 9 – #10 I Was Used to Somewhere

#10 I was used to it somewhere

I still can’t get enough of it when I think of the moment when the real terrorist wielded a thorny vine at Stephanie.

The anger boiling inside reached not only the terrorists, but also the head of the Strategy Office and the Hero Association, who boasted that Stephanie would not get hurt in this operation.

In my heart, I wanted to cut off all support for the Hero Association, but I couldn’t really pretend to be with the Association.

There was a lot of information obtained through the Hero Association, and crucially, there was a big setback in doing a secret business (theft) that others did not know.

The reason why Hi Fog and Hazel Foxy, the arch-villains, have never been caught by the Hero Association, is because the straws placed in the Association inform them of the arrest operation in real time.

However, I couldn’t just let it go, so I thought of reducing the subsidy as an excuse for resentment.

“Damn you bastards. How dare you come up with such a crappy strategy and endanger her wife? Who recommended those bastards?”

“I’m Director Guizman.”

“I also cut off that bastard’s money. Looking at it, he can’t go far.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Everyone knew Bal Ji-woon’s love for his wife.

Just as a smoker suffers from smoking cessation after quitting, Bal Ji-woon also suffers from withdrawal if his wife is not by her side even for a moment.

Because of his excessive love for his wife, Bal Ji-woon was nicknamed Palbulchul and a foolish wife.

Bal Ji-woon, who was suffering from withdrawal, witnessed the moment his wife was in danger by a terrorist.

It was only natural that the wife’s anger went beyond the terrorists and reached the Hero Association that planned this operation.

‘No arms… My wife is a fool…’

“Miles.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

At the president’s call, Miles quickly put the words out of her head.

“That villain.”

“You mean the villain who broke into the lab?”

“Yes. Is he a real villain?”

“Yes?”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon expressed his doubts about the black-haired villain.

“Did any of the people who got hit by him die?”

“Some people were injured or knocked out, but no one died.”

“Did you follow the principle of non-killing?”

“That’s true, but it’s difficult to conclude based on that alone.”

Miles cautiously expressed his opinion.

The principle of non-killing.

The rule was that heroes should not kill criminals or villains unless the worst was unavoidable.

In the past, a hero killed a villain while chasing him. However, it later turned out that the villain killed by the hero was not a villain, but a civilian who had nothing to do with it.

It was just a civilian resembling a villain who was passing through the road unluckily at the right time.

When this fact became known, criticism towards the Hero Association intensified. Newspapers published articles criticizing the Hero Association every day, and public opinion rapidly deteriorated.

In the end, the Hero Association hurriedly punished the hero, and eventually the association law, the principle of non-killing, was enacted.

Thanks to this, the heroes had to abide by the principle of non-killing.

It was useless even if he killed the villain and said he couldn’t help it. In the Hero Association, there was an S-class hero memory hunter who reads memories.

There was a saying that memory hunters would not take the side of a hero like Heroni, but that was because they did not know memory hunters.

Memory hunters did not have camaraderie for the same heroes to the extent that they could be called anti-heroes. If there was someone who just committed a crime, even if it was a hero, he was punished.

In any case, the cheesy villain kept the principle of non-killing that only heroes would abide by.

This is why the Ice Queen, who used Ice Rage, the strongest technique on a man in heat, was worried that he might die.

Heroes who violate the non-killing principle are stripped of their hero status and imprisoned in a special prison.

“He’s a villain with the principle of immortality…”

“There are many villains who adhere to the principle of immortality. Typical examples are High Fog and Hazel Foxy. Although they hurt people in the process of stealing treasure, they have never committed murder.”

“Hmmmm.”

“?”

When Chairman Bal Ji-woon suddenly cleared his throat, Miles looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Although Miles is close to Chairman Bal Ji-woon, he did not know that he was a Villain High Fog.

“If it’s cold, shall we turn off the air conditioner?”

“No, it’s okay. Did you investigate more than that?”

“Yes, I am here.”

Miles handed the tablet PC he was holding to Chairman Bal Ji-woon. On the screen, information about him was written along with a picture of a man with a stern look.

As President Bal Ji-woon started to flip through them one by one, Miles added an explanation.

“It was impossible to see the face because he was wearing a mask, but we analyzed the physique and gait to select the 6 most likely villains.”

President Bal Ji-woon provided huge donations to the Hero Association, and in return, he was able to use the villain database that the Hero Association had accumulated over the years.

It is originally illegal for anyone who is not related to the Hero Association’s materials to be viewed without permission. However, in front of money, illegal things became legal.

Through the recorded CCTV, Miles compared the villains registered in the database with the villains registered in the database and selected the most influential villains presumed to be the villains.

“[Mr. Buffalo]… Not this bastard.”

“Yes?”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon, who was looking through the data, excluded one villain at once. Then Miles was startled. On what grounds did he immediately realize that Mr. Buffalo wasn’t a cheesy villain?

“This bastard has more than a dozen cases of rape. Do you think a bastard who can’t even use his legs when he sees a woman would have stayed still even after seeing my wife?”

“…”

For a moment, the words “Fuck-up” And “Stupid wife” Passed through Miles’ mind. Miles quickly erased the two impure words that passed through her mind.

Chairman Bal Ji-woon’s judgment was extremely subjective, but the basis was clear.

“Then, Mr. Buffalo will be excluded from the line of the dragon.”

“Yes. And this bastard, can I be excluded from this world?”

It meant to be excluded from this world, to be killed.

“I hate that this bastard rapist lives in the same city as my wife. You never know when this bastard might see my wife and do something terrible.”

“…”

That is, they said that Mr. Buffalo would kill Stephanie, her wife, in case she did something wrong.

“I will rule out Mr. Buffalo as soon as possible.”

It was quite absurd, but Miles nodded right away. In fact, it wasn’t once or twice that Chairman Bal Ji-woon killed a rapist villain in this way.

“Excluding all villains below grade B.”

Next, Chairman Bal Ji-woon excluded other villains from the list of suspects.

“The Villain faced off against the Ice Queen. We cannot confirm how the two fought, but in the end, the Ice Queen escaped. That’s a Class A hero. That means the Villain has psychic powers at least equivalent to a Class A hero. That’s it.”

“Then there’s only one person left… Ah.”

Miles, who was talking, realized something about her and opened her eyes wide.

Based on Chairman Bal Ji-woon’s speculation, excluding the villains from the list of suspects, only one person remains.

[Slaughterer].

Superpowers were A-class villains, but they were listed as S-class villains because of their cruelty and, above all, a history of killing several heroes.

“Yes. There’s no way a butcher would save a person, right? So none of the villains here are the ones who appeared today. He’s a rookie who debuted today.”

“Umm… Then it’s a big deal. The villain who first appeared in the world today decided to make his debut here.”

“Right. Whoever he is, he’s quite bold and arrogant. But that much meant that he was confident in his skills, and he actually proved his strength. By defeating the Ice Queen.”

“I will continue to investigate.”

“Yes. Get out now.”

“Yes.”

Head bowed, Miles exited the president’s office.

“…”

Alone, Chairman Bal Ji-woon tapped the desk with his fingers and was lost in thought.

‘Why?’

He recalled the first time he saw the cheesy villain through CCTV.

‘Why did I feel familiar?’

The moment he saw the physique and gait of the chubby villain, President Bal Ji-woon felt familiar. What he felt familiar was that he was someone I met often…

‘Is this someone I know? Or someone just passed by?’

Anyone passing by can’t help but feel familiar. If so, that means he knows.

‘Who is it?’

Among my acquaintances, I selected people who were as big as the chubby villain. But none of them were convinced.

‘The opponent he was aiming for wasn’t a terrorist.’

Upon entering the laboratory, the first person the prickly villain looked at was Dr. Crumola. That meant that Dr. Krumola was the target of the cheesy villain.

But suddenly, the cheesy villain swerved and ran at his wife. And he subdued the terrorist who was trying to attack his wife at once.

I am grateful that he saved his wife, but his behavior was hard to understand.

‘I don’t know.’

-President. Vice-president and son arrived.

“I’m asking you to come in.”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon, who was lost in thought, came to his senses when he heard the secretary’s voice over the intercom. He got up when he heard that his wife had arrived.

Miles would take his place, so what he had to do now was comfort his wife, who must have been surprised.

“Oh, I see…”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon, who got up from his seat to greet his wife, realized belatedly that his son had come with him.

He was thinking of handing over his company, but his eldest son, who had been silent about not wanting to work at the company, suddenly came out on his own feet.

‘I hope he won’t be scared, right?’

He came to his senses belatedly and took an interest in the company, but I was worried that he would say he didn’t want to work at the company because of this incident.

“Honey.”

“Babe! Are you not hurt? Are you okay? Look where you are. Are you not hurt? Are you surprised? Dammit! I didn’t mean to let you go!”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon, who noticed his wife coming inside her, approached her almost as if flying and made a fuss over her. He checked every nook and cranny for injuries.

All his attention was on his wife, and thanks to this, his son behind his wife’s back was not seen at all. Even though he’s not a son who can’t be seen saying that.

“Let’s get tested right away. I’ll call Dr. Helen right now…”

“Honey, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m not hurt at all.”

“Still…”

“It’s okay. Were you surprised?”

“… Yes. I was very nervous that you might have been hurt.”

“Oh, my husband was very surprised.”

Rather, Stephanie comforted and reassured her husband. The couple while he seemingly was in his 30s, but his actual age was 50 years old. However, what they did was unthinkable as a 50-year-old couple.

“Uhh. Daddy said you shouldn’t show affection in front of me, right?”

Their son said something, as if he couldn’t stand the couple’s behavior of chicken meat.

“It’s noisy. If you’re jealous, you’ll get married quickly too… Huh?”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon, who was talking, saw his son and widened his eyes.

Turns out, there was one more.

Someone as big as the cheesy villain and living in the same house for the past 30 years.

There was his own son, Horned Man.

‘No way…’

On the day the son came to the company on his own, a villain that was not registered in the Hero Association villain database appeared.

Is this really a coincidence?

“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not hurt, so don’t worry.”

“…”

Chairman Bal Ji-woon looked blankly at his son.
