Chapter 182: Crisis As Opportunity (6)
Whirring.
The wind blew across the harbor.
The young man, clad in a black suit, stood quietly on the deck, his gaze fixed on the tablet screen.
Even if damage occurred in Korea, they are Russians. They shouldnt be tried in Korea.
If you think about it, isnt it Sejong Academys fault for failing to manage the students? They shouldnt have turned the students into demons in the first place. What kind of education was that?
I doubt the existence of Duoexini. A Korean goblin, you say? Its a weapon created by the Korean government, a conspiracy to produce demons, even harming their own citizens
Damn it.
The young man involuntarily cursed.
They say he lost all his abilities, but who knows if thats true. Even if he became a demon, hes my brother. I will save my brother and return home.
If hes become a normal person, hasnt he already paid for his sins? He lost his abilities. Then we should treat him not as a normal person but as a disabled person. The Korean government is oppressing the disabled.
Most of the videos and sounds he encountered were criticisms, condemnations, and slanders from various governments about the Duoexini incident.
He didnt need to sift through the trash, but the young man felt compelled to verify their claims.
He needed to understand the mindset of the enemies he might face in the future.
Here you are, brother?
You came?
The woman in a suit, who addressed the young man as brother, approached him with a can of coffee.
What are you watching now?
Foreign reactions.
Why watch that? Just deal with them. Those who illegally enter our land to take our prisoners are all villains, bad guys.
Yeah. But have you ever thought about why they would do such a thing?
The young man accepted the can of coffee with a somewhat complex expression.
Some of them genuinely believe their families are suffering unjust harm.
Geez. You worry about everything. Youre not a nobleman, brother. Why care about that? Youre not even part of the World Alliance.
Hey.
My name isnt Hey. Its Kim Yoon-ji. Or at least call me by my alias.
Naejae.
Ah, brother, youre so annoying.
S-class hero, [Naejae] Kim Yoon-ji, gathered lightning at her toes, ready to swing at the young man.
Do you want to taste my Thunder Kick?
Stop it, it hurts.
You havent even been hit yet.
Even if I dont get hit, launching lightning and spinning kicks at someone is not polite.
The young man, [Tushin] Lee Jun-young, waved his hand sideways to create distance.
Save your energy. If the intelligence is correct, we might have to face at least five S-class heroes.
Do you really think theyll come? It takes so long to get from Busan to Sejong Island.
S-class can attack even in that short time. What if they suddenly open the air and jump out?
Wouldnt she be on our side?
Kim Yoon-ji casually shrugged her shoulders.
She seemed carefree, but her eyes, shining bright blue, overflowed with confidence.
She seemed like a good kid. At least she wouldnt help those who come from abroad to kidnap prisoners. Right?
Sigh.
Lee Jun-young turned off the tablet and put it down on the side table.
I dont trust Solar Platina.
Oh, why? She protected the mainland while we were deployed to Jeju Island. She even turned all the demons into Zenros.
If shes truly a hero for Korea, she should first take off her mask.
Ah, so heroes should reveal their identities? The Spider-Man in New York would be sad.
Its different from comics Sigh. Anyway, I dont trust people who hide their identities and only show up when its convenient. Its too selfish to lay out the board like this and then only appear when its comfortable
Again, again. You sound like someone whos been brainwashed with patriotic education. Do you know what people call someone like you? A serious and stuffy old-fashioned scholar.
Isnt being a scholar a good thing?
Hah.
Kim Yoon-ji let out an incredulous laugh.
People whove been indoctrinated with nationalistic education since they were young
Dont speak carelessly. Even if youve lived abroad, theres such a thing as universal justice.
I dont want to discuss hero beliefs or justice in complexity, brother. I just want to think simply.
Kim Yoon-ji lightly tapped the floor with her shoe.
The prisoners under this deck, well transport them safely to Sejong Island. Not a single one missing. Done!
Youre so simple, its nice.
Youre the one who makes things unnecessarily complicated. Oh right. Thats what I came to say.
Kim Yoon-ji pointed behind her with a mischievous face.
The person in charge from Sejong Academy seemed interested in you, brother?
Who?
You know, the one with brown hair. Professor Lisa La Lakshmi.
Ahem.
Lee Jun-young coughed and picked up his tablet.
Where are you now?
The calm before the storm.
At this moment, both entering and leaving Sejong Island were controlled.
Space travel is so convenient. You, Yumir, right? How about becoming my exclusive secretary? I just need you for space travel. Ill pay you 5,000 a week.
Due to the difficulty of entering the island, Gunggi finally entered Ulleungdo through the Yumir Gate.
5,000 a week?
Yeah. What do you think?
I heard Doul charges ten million won per use.
What? Doul, you
Nyahah.
Doul, casually eating ice cream, waved at Gunggi.
Is that true?
Considering the time for a flight and space travel, ten million won per time doesnt seem too much, does it?
Still!
An executive arrives and immediately starts undermining unity. Truly a fearsome hero, Solar Platina.
I naturally admired Yumirs rhetoric, which subtly instigated a rift among the executives.
Its not an association that would crumble just like that.
Association? We decided not to make a move as an association this time.
Whats this conversation about?
Thats how it turned out.
Gunggi, having just arrived in Ulleungdo, was unaware of certain information.
I informed her of the plan, which had been confirmed with Yumir, Doul, and Brewer, who were gathering information on Sejong Island.
What about the Goblins plan?
That goes on as planned. Yumirs plan assumes an outright attack.
My plan takes priority initially, but if the worst happens, well follow Yumirs suggestion.
Its a battle involving three executive-level members of the association, but the association itself isnt making a move.
What about the chairman?
She approved. Depending on how well the interns plan succeeds, she agreed to provide support for the intern.
Good to know shes understanding.
The Chief was more favorable to Yumir than I had initially thought.
If this goes well, we agreed to launch a cyber-propaganda campaign about Solar Platina at an association level.
Success is certain; its about how decisively its handled! Thats my goal. Hehe. Maybe its because I sent that photo of you involved in a scandalous affair?
.
Sending a video along, the Chief seemed really nice.
Well, thats how it went.
Lets go over the plan now.
I displayed two profile pictures.
Among the Zenros, there were demons who didnt cause human casualties. Both were D-class demons, just 15-year-old middle school students.
They were still children with baby fat on their faces, but Duoexini had planted the seeds of demons in such kids too.
Gunggi, hows the contact with the families?
Everything is ready. Once we get them out and send them off, theyll immediately leave for a foreign country. Well put them in a private jets cargo at Yangyang Airport, and everything will be over.
The families of the students were going to switch have already been persuaded.
Although not financially wealthy, they were not the kind to treat their children, who lost their abilities, as lost lottery tickets.
The parents of the two said this: Kids get hurt growing up, ending up in hospitals, but our kids enjoyed everything they could until 15. Its a blessing they came back alive.
Sounds like parents unlike those of ability users.
Even so, among almost thirty Zenros, its only fair that at least two sets of parents are like this.
Not all parents were monsters.
Even if they lost their abilities, living with love and under the support of the association, the situation Yumir worried about wouldnt happen.
Gunggi, Doul. Transform into those kids. Yumir and I will sneak in and monitor the situation around you. There might be others doing similar switches.
We planned to switch people.
But if Wijeong Cheoksa intervened, they might be up to something on the ship too.
Whether they switch the whole container, put innocent people in it and send them to Sejong Island, or directly attack the ship. They will surely target the Zenros.
Not just foreign ability users, but Pandemonium too?
Yes. Duoexini is dead, but there could be others. If Wijeong Cheoksa appears well smash them to pieces.
I made a motion of swinging a baseball bat, conveying my firm resolve.
My plan is infiltration, reconnaissance, and execution. If all the Zenros enter Sejong Island and are confined in the facility listed in the governments document, the operation is over.
But if even one goes to a strange place
Well attack and annihilate them.
Well eliminate them immediately if they slip up.
Fine. I know about the Goblins plan. What about the intern?
Now that Red has arrived, its perfect. Red. Blonde Blue-eye. Green. And like this transform!
Yumir stretched her hands upwards, and her body began to shimmer and shrink.
Ta-da!
When did you
I studied it after seeing you transform. Hehe.
In front of me stood Yumir Lily.
Dressed in a snug striped dress, complete with white stockings and shoes, she formed a V with her fingers towards me.
Just follow me, and we wont get caught by the association. Now, transform like me!
You want me to do this now?
Hehehe. Its fun, right? Why? Embarrassed? We wont be recognized anyway.
No, sigh. What is this even?
What is it? Its called
Yumir declared.
Jammin Puff Girl!
She hailed from Canada.
Ill teach you space travel skills if you match me.
.
Ah. Of course, the leader is Red, right?
.
Sometimes
Humans needed to compromise with reality for their desires.
