Chapter 114 – Yebos Summoned Evil for His Ambition
“You’re protecting it… Honestly, you can just throw this hideout away, boss.”
The other villains also nodded in agreement to what Kang Hyun-ah said.
The villains’ hideout was always dangerous.
If information leaks out, heroes can invade at any time, so most villains do not settle in one place but wander around.
It was the same with the Rose Brigade up until now.
However, the narrow-eyed boss suggested a number of cases for staying here.
“Normally, this place would just be abandoned, but Marlene is still receiving treatment in the underground laboratory. She needs time to wake up.”
‘Marlene.?’
This is my first time hearing this name.
I stayed in the hideout for a while and never saw him, and when I went to the test site, Mr. Bugs didn’t even mention it.
“If Marlene is still receiving treatment… You have to protect her, boss.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s just fight those giant heroes!”
As soon as everyone heard the name Marlene, they all agreed that she should be kept.
Since I didn’t know who it was, I looked at Gyeongseon and whispered quietly.
“Hey… Chief Executive Officer Yuchina?”
“What?”
“Who is Marlene?”
“… The boss’s younger brother.”
“Boss, you have a family.”
I understood it right away with the short and simple words.
As much as the villains followed the boss, they were also concerned about his younger brother, who was his blood relative.
‘Now I understand why I was summoned.’
I immediately realized why I had been summoned.
It seemed like he had called me to protect the boss’s younger sister, Marlene, who was in the basement.
Since they didn’t know who the traitor might be in this organization, it was clear that they appointed me as a bodyguard after showing up with conditions.
Yu Chi-na, an executive who was looking at this situation calmly, opened his mouth.
“Can’t you move Marlene while she’s being treated? Boss.”
“She is still recovering in a huge glass coffin. If the power was cut off, her heart would immediately stop.”
Could it be that the test subject inside the glass tube, whose entire body was covered with a bundle of wires, was the boss’ younger brother?
I didn’t even think about it.
I just thought Mr. Bugs was a test animal, but it turns out he was the boss’ younger brother.
“Boss… I think it’s right to somehow take the test tube and abandon this place. The hero subjugation team is not one to be taken lightly.”
Sister Angyeong faced this situation calmly.
No matter how important the boss’s younger brother was, there was still a possibility that if he made a mistake, the Rose Brigade itself could disappear.
“That’s why we held a meeting today. Yuchi and I are no longer the bosses of the Rose Brigade as of today.”
“Yes.? Boss! What do you mean!”
“The boss quits being the boss!”
“Only those who remain with me remain? Those who do not wish to die with me may leave.”
“Boss… I guess this was the plan from the beginning. The reason I summoned that man was to personally protect Marlene.”
“…”
Yuchina remembered what the boss said in the past.
He was a boss who always said he only needed a lot of people to help him.
There was a reason why people were hired, even using a summoner’s book full of unknown power.
She was a boss who threw everything away just to protect her family.
“I will stay. Protecting Marlene is no different from protecting the boss.”
“That’s right. If the Rose Brigade doesn’t have a boss, the name Rose Brigade has no meaning.”
“I like it here too. I’ll stay and fight with you, boss.”
“I’m better at stealing, but… I’ll keep an eye on it!”
Everyone looked at Boseman with narrowed eyes and clenched her fists, as if she couldn’t possibly leave.
Everyone was overflowing with loyalty and loyalty to their boss.
“… Then it is decided. Prepare to welcome the heroes. Kang Hyeon-ah, after the meeting, start supplying weapons.”
“Yes! Boss!”
Everyone looked triumphant and prepared to fight with the heroes.
“Then… I will prepare the operation as best as I can, boss.”
Of course, even the cool-headed Ahn Kyeong-nim, who was giving an opposing opinion, decided to follow the boss.
It seemed like he was making more ideal judgments than anyone else.
However, everyone seemed determined to protect the hideout for the boss.
The meeting ended like that and one by one they started leaving the conference room to prepare for battle.
“Fighting with heroes… Song, have you ever fought with heroes?”
“You know. They’re like leeches that keep clinging to you.”
“Clingy? What’s so sexy?”
“It’s not what you think. They’ll find us wherever we go.”
“Aha.”
It was Songi who knew exactly what I was misunderstanding.
It seems that Songi knows me as well as I know her.
“I somehow feel closer to Songi.”
“You and me? No.”
“It’s resolute. I thought it was a pumpkin.”
“Ugh. That gag is really hard.”
“Haha. Sorry.”
It seemed difficult to even accept my rotten humor.
As I was about to leave the room, I saw Gyeongnyeonnim’s executive quietly gesturing.
“Han Song-i and the new recruit. You also come to work for a while.”
Songi and I headed to her.
“Yes?”
“What’s going on?”
We looked at Yu Chi-na as if we were curious.
“Under the boss’ instructions, you guys have some work to do separately.”
“If it has to be done separately…”
“We have to find the traitor. The boss wanted him to stay here. If you, the summoned newbie who is sure not to be a traitor, and Hansong use illusions, we will be able to find the traitor.”
“I guess so.”
Sister Ahn Gyeong secretly entrusted a mission to the two of us.
It was to hunt down traitors.
“But… Do you trust me? I could be a traitor?”
Han Song-i was looking at Yu Chi-na and saying that she too had the potential to be a traitor.
Now, no one knows who the traitor is.
“I don’t believe it. Han Song-i. It’s not like there’s no possibility of you being a traitor. But I know full well that that newbie next to you can stop you.”
“Jageun. Is he blocking me?”
“Everyone already knows that you guys share the same room at the hideout. On the first night, you said you were going to die at night.”
“Ah.! Ah! I understand! Together! Let’s find the traitor!”
Han Song-i shouted and strongly accepted Yu Chi-na’s mission.
“Me too! I will do my best to find the traitor!”
“I don’t trust you, but please.”
So Songi and I decided to go around the hideout to find the traitor.
“But. How do we find the traitor.”
“Can’t I just use a magic spell that makes me speak honestly?”
“The Rose Brigade has over a hundred members, and it’s hard for me to find them all. And the heroes are approaching… I can’t just look for traitors forever. I have to prepare for combat, too.”
“Don’t worry about that. I will protect Songi.”
“That’s not what you said! You and I would have to protect this place and fight, but are you that strong!?”
“I’m not sure because I haven’t met the heroes.”
“Don’t be sure about topics that are only strong for women.”
“Keuhum.”
As Songi said, it seemed difficult to find the traitor in a short period of time.
“Then… Since it is difficult to recognize all the traitors… Let’s search for traitors focusing on the executives and important people below them.”
“That was the correct answer. Let’s do it that way.”
Although we may not be able to identify all the Rose Brigade members through illusion, we decided to at least carry out the mission focusing on important people.
“First of all.”
“The Bucks executive closest to Marlene will probably be the priority.”
“Okay, let’s go to the test site right away.”
I headed to the testing site with Songi.
-Knock.
When I saw the transparent glass door, I knocked and Mr. Bugs appeared.
“You guys… Why did you come here? Are you ready for battle?”
“We received a separate mission, Mr. Bugs.”
“We are checking for traitors under the boss’ instructions.”
Mr. Bugs frowned at our words and looked at me.
“Are you saying I’m a traitor.”
“No. There is a possibility that everyone in the hideout is a traitor. Since it is virtually impossible to check everyone, I decided to first focus on the core members of the Rose Brigade.”
“If Mr. Bugs goes first, other members will also be willing to undergo the traitor test. You are setting an example.”
Songi and I persuaded Bugs as much as we could.
“… I understand.”
Fortunately, she nodded.
“But how do we find the traitor?”
“I will use genjutsu to make you tell the truth.”
“It’s a sure method.”
“Then please sit comfortably in the chair, Bugs.”
Bugs followed Songi’s words well.
Songi sat down on the chair and started using her genjutsu.
An invisible force covered Bugs’ head, and he remained still for a while.
I could see a little bit of sweat forming on Songi’s forehead.
Perhaps because he was an executive, he didn’t seem to be able to use magic.
“I’ll help you.”
He was by her side and assisted Songi by helping her recover her stamina with her blood magic.
She used the genjutsu with a more relaxed expression than before.
As time passed, Bugs’ eyes became blurry.
“Bugs, have you been under an illusion? If so, please answer.”
“… I got caught.”
Songi and I looked at each other and laughed at Bugs’ answer.
“It’s a success, right?”
“Yeah. I think so.”
As Songi cast her genjutsu, she answered a little uncertainly.
“What’s wrong? It’s Song. You look anxious.”
“This is my first time casting an illusion so deeply into the mind of an executive.”
“You recently cast a magic spell on Kang Hyun-ah, right?”
“It’s just a temporary thing to correct a habit or habit… This is a magic spell cast to a very deep place in the mind to find a traitor.”
I wondered if illusions had sequential stages.
I’m not sure, but it certainly looked like the genjutsu had been done with difficulty.
“Then shall we check right away? Should I ask him if he is a traitor?”
“No, the criteria for a traitor are not clear. I think it would be better to find out in another way. First, Bugs. Have you been in contact with any heroes recently?”
“… I didn’t do it.”
It was Mr. Bugs who immediately answered Songi’s question.
“Like this.”
“Oh. It was confirmed right away. Mr. Bugs was not a traitor.”
“For now, it seems like that.”
When I asked a question, Bugs answered right away.
“You should also ask questions. Because you can’t be sure about just one thing.”
“Okay. Then…”
Looking at the dazed Bugs, I asked whatever came to mind.
“Have you been close to a hero recently, Mr. Bugs?”
“… Nothing.”
“Yesterday and today, you were only in the laboratory, right?”
“Okay.”
“Then why didn’t you open the door to the testing room when I came yesterday?”
“… Because I’m scared of you.”
“Huh? Me? What are you scared of?”
“Sex. Is hard. I want to stop.”
“This can’t be right.!”
I was shocked.
You don’t want sex with me!
Next to me, Songi also laughed. I guess my face was that surprised.
“Kukkuk… So, you should treat women with respect.”
“I just had sex. And I didn’t like it.”
I thought he always made beautiful women happy, but he wasn’t…
I suddenly became sloppy.
“Sex. I don’t hate it. But I do it too much. And it’s hard.”
“Ah.!”
I was so frustrated, but when Bugs said something, my energy came back to life.
“Thank God! I thought I was hated by Mr. Bugs.”
“I hate you.”
But again, I bowed my head at Bugs’ hateful words.
“Ugh… If you give me another chance to have sex… I’ll do my best to change my hating feelings.”
“… Then I’ll give it a chance.”
“Really? Thank you, Mr. Bugs!”
An opportunity has arisen.
I tried to approach Bugs at once, but Songi grabbed my arm and made me stop.
“No.! What are you talking about? We’re looking for a traitor. We’re not here to test your sex!”
“Song. How can it not be just a little?”
“No!”
“Jebaal. I’ll be so sad if I go on like this.”
I asked Songi as much as I could.
