Chapter 94 – #95 I Need a Subordinate (3)
#95 Need a subordinate (3)
Originally, I didn’t need a subordinate with psychic powers that far.
It was because I thought it would be enough to have my alter ego, each one with 7th level psychic powers, and the harem members.
I judged that the picture I envisioned would be created after enough time of one year.
But my thoughts have changed.
It was two days ago when the Shadow Killer was torn in half on me.
When his subordinate villains showed up to save the Shadow Killer, it was honestly kind of cool. No, not a little, but it was fucking cool.
Like a scene from a cartoon or a scene from a movie, the villains appear to protect the Shadow Killer!
Overwhelmed by that force, I thought that I would like to have subordinates like that.
But can anyone accept it?
First of all, a psychic with a cool and strong psychic power must be my subordinate. That’s how you live cool. I am a fashionista, so fashion is very important.
Loyalty is important, but I don’t care too much. Even though this is not even the Middle Ages with kings and knights, he had no intention of wanting loyalty again.
I liked the kind of neat trading relationship where you give and receive something.
Lastly, I plan to only accept men as my subordinates.
Huh? Why doesn’t a guy who likes women madly make women his subordinates?
Of course, a woman should be a member of my harem.
The organization chart of my Skull Head team in the future will look something like this.
Rank 1 Steel Armor.
The 2nd-ranked harem member.
The psychic subordinates, including the third-ranked Karinbia.
4th rank intercessor (consumables from here on).
The 5th place in the rankings.
Although it has been lumped together, it is a truly ideal organizational system. Also I’m perfect This is the truth of life.
“Kiya~ I’ve put in a lot of money.”
Looking at the money Crane had saved up, I smiled. After all, villains became money.

At dawn, Carin Bia returned to Area 73, where her men were waiting.
“Brother! Are you okay?”
“Boss!”
The B-class villain Red Gorilla and his men, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to check the condition of Carinvia.
“I’m fine.”
Perhaps it was because she used her psychic powers for the first time in a while, Karin Bia’s complexion was pale like a sheet of paper. She didn’t look okay at all when I told her she was okay.
“Fuck!”
The red gorilla burst into exasperation.
“I have to kill the dog! Do you dare to eat my brother? “
“Basque.”
“Your brother!”
“No one’s holding it.”
“…”
Yes.
No one was holding the red gorilla. Rather, they were one step away, as if telling them to come back.
“Is it?”
Beads of sweat ran down the red gorilla’s forehead.
“Ah, anyway, brother! What did you decide to do instead?”
All you need now is a shameless mug! Fortunately, the red gorilla’s face was quite thick. His villain name didn’t have gorilla attached to it for nothing.
When they go into battle, they sometimes run amok like an enraged gorilla, but the decisive reason is that they look like gorillas.
“He chose to become Steel Armor’s subordinate. He was also granted control of Area 73.”
Carinvia smiled as if the red gorilla’s attempt to change the topic was cute, and told her about the conversation she had with Steel Armor.
Even if he burst into anger at the content that he had become a subordinate, he let out a sigh of relief when he said that he had been recognized for control of Area 73. She was furious when she was told that she would have to give 30% of her earnings back to Steel Armor.
“No! We make the money, but he eats 30% of it?! That’s a piece of shit! I can’t do it! I’m going to kill him today. Oh no! Don’t stop me!”
“Ouch! Oh, it hurts! Let go of this!”
As if he would not make the same mistake as before, the red gorilla grabbed his subordinate’s arm and started a rampage. His grip strength was not normal, and thanks to that, only the subordinates who had to feel pain for being the closest to him were about to die.
“It’s okay. Compared to other places, they’ve taken good care of our situation anyway.”
“Is it so?”
“Yeah. Right now, don’t we bring half of our income in return for looking after us?”
“Hmm. That’s right.”
Concerning who might not be the villain, in the back world, he savagely extorted the bounty money.
The smallest stipend is 50% of income. 50% was really little, but there are villain organizations that take up to 80% of their income.
Compared to him, Steel Armor was a nobleman, and a very innocent nobleman at that.
“I need to rest now. Let’s go.”
“Yes brother. Get some rest.”
At Karinbia’s words, Red Gorilla and his men went outside.
“…”
Karin Bia, left alone, stared blankly at the stars that were now obscured by the sunlight.
‘Body enhancer, psychic analyzer, clone magician, master of gravity.’
Karinbia muttered to herself the four superpowers someone has. Even though she was an astrologer who predicted fate through the stars, she did not think that Steel Armor had the above four superpowers.
Even so, the reason Karin Bia knows about her four psychic powers is because it was Steel Armor’s first order to be the boss.
‘Body enhancer, psychic analyzer, alter egoist, ruler of gravity. Find someone with these four superpowers. Heroes, villains, recluses, everything.’
‘You mean everything?’
‘Okay. Entire.’
‘All right.’
She didn’t ask why she needed to find people with such superpowers. She was well aware of the truth of her life that excessive curiosity takes life. She just said she would know.
“Ha…”
Karin Bia let out a sigh of her own.
If you ask the stars questions and get answers, you can find them no matter how well they hide. But it will take a considerable amount of time.
This is because psychic powers can only be used at night when the stars rise, and enormous energy is consumed to find so many psychic powers. Fortunately, Steel Armor gave me plenty of time.
If she had been asked to find it in a short period of time, Karin Bia would have died using her psychic powers.
‘Ask the stars.’
Looking at the star that was about to fade and disappear, Carinvia used her supernatural powers. His eyes were stained black.
‘Did I make the right choice today?’
Carinbia gazed at the stars.
‘…’
There was no answer coming back.
There were no stars in the sky.
Karin Bia closed her eyes and fell asleep.
‘Why did you take the crane with you?’
It was his last thought before surrendering himself to the soma.
*****
“There are fewer bugs.”
“Not much.”
“Right, write it down.”
“Not even 10.”
My alter ego and I muttered as we watched the frightened insects running away.
Originally, there were fewer of them, but they have decreased much more than that, and now there are only about 6 left. If we add the crane we brought in today, the number would be seven, but it was still not enough.
The other day, I used up once to do an experiment on tattoos through Mark Two, and then killed the bugs with the main body.
If I had consumed the bugs, I should have expanded again, but the number of bugs didn’t increase because all the villains I fought with died accidentally.
“If I had known this would be the case, I would have built a small insect farm.”
Marktu muttered, frowning at him.
While looking for a new building for the Skull Head, they also found a bug farm, and the space was renovated for the convenience of the bugs.
A private room was created for each insect, and there was a large glass instead of a wall toward the hallway, so you could see inside. Like an aquarium or a zoo, we made it possible to see insects comfortably in the hallway.
“By the way, are you feeding them properly? Bugs run away when they see me.”
“Isn’t it natural to run away?”
“Of course.”
“It would be even weirder if he came closer and acted cute. Besides, a bug doing cute things. It’s disgusting.”
“Is that so? Jeop. Too bad.”
Actually, it wasn’t too bad. Like Mark O said, if the bug had acted cute, he would have been so disgusted that he would have beaten him to death.
“There are more pressing issues than that.”
“What’s the matter, Mark Two student?”
Marktu raised his hand and said.
“There is not enough people.”
“Ghmm… This guy is always lacking.”
Mark Sam has to create an alibi for me, so I can’t put him into running the organization.
But Marksa and Marko were different. They both didn’t use it much.
“I didn’t use it. It’s unpleasant to think that it has become an object for some reason.”
“Yes, that’s unpleasant. Requesting a correction of the main body’s expression.”
So, I am planning to use this opportunity to put Marksa and Marko into the operation of the organization. As both of them are my alter egos, they were 7th level psychics. It was a waste to leave such talented people alone.
“You’re ignoring me.”
“I was ignored.”
Marksa and Marko grumbled.
“Even if I say that Area 78 is ruled by me, the other two by other alter egos, and Area 73 by Carinvia, there are still five areas left. At least five more subordinates are required.”
“Can’t I leave it to the mediator?”
“You say that? It will be taken away by another villain organization.”
“Anyway, these bastards have nothing in their heads, so it’s a problem.”
I am an S-class villain officially recognized by the Hero Association.
The villains who follow the primitive method of the law of the jungle do not touch the areas of villains stronger than themselves.
But I don’t know if it’s because I ate something wrong or because I wasn’t properly educated when I was young, but the villains in the neighborhood crossed the territory I ruled from time to time.
Thanks to this, a villain was needed to reside in each district and rule the district. At least level A, even if you compromised, you had to have superpowers of level B or higher.
That way, villains from other regions don’t carelessly cross my territory.
“By the way. How strange is that? There are so many bad guys in my hands, but there are still people who are fighting with me.”
“This is my personal opinion… It seems that there is someone behind the villains.”
“Isn’t it? I was thinking about that too.”
“Um… That’s quite possible.”
“I somewhat agree.”
Seriously, this was obviously odd.
No matter how unlearned they were, common sense made no sense to them. No matter how many Skull Head members invade their territory, they do not attack.
At the very least, they had to give a warning or show a grouping around one person.
“A guy who can give orders to attack S-class villains.”
“A guy who wouldn’t care even if his existence was revealed.”
“The one who can fight me.”
“And just in time, there’s a villain nearby that fits those criteria.”
My alter ego and I said the name of one person at the same time, no, the name of the villain.
“”””[Jet stream].””””
S-class Villain Jet Stream.
Speaking of him, it could be said that he was a hard-working villain who rose to the top step by step from the bottom.
Starting from a D-class villain, he went through numerous battlefields and gradually raised his grade one step at a time. In the 13th year since his name was announced, the Hero Association announced him as an S-class villain.
There were over 50 villains wearing the jet stream pattern, and there were over 800 people including general members.
From District 83 to District 106, he was a modern king and monarch who ruled over a total of twenty-three districts.
Jet Stream and I have little contact. I’ve never met them, and that’s all I learned while researching S-class heroes and villains in Dark City.
And it will be the jet stream too.
Did he instigate the villains near my district? Why? You have no contact with me?
The answer was fixed.
“Of course there are reasons to keep me in check.”
Emerging forces.
This alone was enough reason for existing S-class villains and Jet Stream to keep me in check.
A villain’s enemy is not just a hero. Villains like heroes to villains, both were enemies.
It was a matter of course as a monarch to cut down a hot-blooded competitor before he could grow up.
“But it’s impossible to hit him right now.”
If me and the jet stream stick together, I will win. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible to defeat me.
But I’ll take a lot of damage too.
Instead of stepping out directly, he encouraged the villains to keep me in check. It meant that he was a guy who knew how to roll his head.
Even if I try to fight him, he will never fight me alone.
He started as a D-class villain and rose to where he is now. In the process, you should know very well that the strong one does not win, but the one who survives to the end is the strong one.
The jet stream will not fight villain against villain, but force against force, and then I will suffer great damage. The barely recovered Skull Head has to be built up again from scratch.
In order to reduce the damage, I must have at least the same power as him.
“We are not fighting now.”
But isn’t it okay to return a gift?
