Chapter 91: How To Conquer A Villain (4)
At that moment, in the Presidential Office of Busan.
“This foolish boy!”
The current President, Tae Chae-jin, shouted at the young man sitting on the sofa.
“I told you not to hang around with just any woman!”
“Oh, I had no idea!!”
The young man, ‘Taejo’, who had been fiddling with his smartphone, threw a fit while sitting on the sofa.
“If human laws cannot confine ability users! So, I did it with another ability user. Why are you so critical about that!”
“Hey!!”
“What!!”
Although they were grandfather and grandson in private, publicly, they were the President and one of the S-rank heroes of this country.
“Are you talking or farting now! I’ve told you many times! If a man cannot control his mouth and hands, it’s all over!”
“Oh, did I know that woman was such a woman!”
“Bring her here right now! Hurry!”
“How can I bring her? She already went to Gangwon-do. And honestly, it wouldn’t be bad if a kid happened…”
“Hey, you irresolute bastard!!”
Their conversation was as messy and candid as one wouldn’t expect from the two of them.
Fortunately, the office had a thoroughly constructed soundproof booth. Otherwise, the citizens would have been shocked to hear their conversation.
“What do you think would happen if an S-rank ability user and a C-rank ability user did such things?! Huh?”
“Based on health education, there is a high probability of having a child, right?”
“Are you saying this while you could become a dad!”
“Wow! Am I going to be a dad?!”
“Ah…!”
The President covered his face with his hand.
Knowing that his grandson was S-rank, he was nurtured, and thanks to his S-rank grandson and granddaughter, he was able to become President.
However, since becoming President, most of his work has dealt with this S-rank troublemaker, Taejo.
“So, why did you meet her?”
“Is there something? We met at an airline event, exchanged contact information, and then met. I set aside the Taegeuk Watch.”
“You, I always told you to carry the Taegeuk Watch!!”
“Ah, how could I carry that thing around all the time. It’s not an electronic anklet. Did I commit a sexual offense? Just some light-hearted fun between young friends…”
“Then you should clean up the mess properly!!”
BANG.
“I, I used contraception properly!”
“You should have securely taken care of it after use. Why did you let her run off with it!”
“Ah, I didn’t expect her to take it from the trash can!!”
“You idiot!!”
As the President threw the booklet he was holding onto the floor, Taejo started looking around nervously.
“Huff, huff. Taejo, my grandson, listen carefully. This is a bigger problem than you think. Our agents are now trying to escort that woman, but if they slip up, she could be killed. Do you know why?”
“Uh… Why?”
“Because your genes, which belong to Korea’s top S-class young man, are more valuable than the daughter of a foreign airline company’s Ability User!!”
“Hehehe…”
“It’s not funny!!”
The President, frustrated, pounded his chest. At the same time, he projected Yuliana’s picture on the TV hanging on the office wall and shouted while pointing at the TV screen.
“Imagine if this woman goes back and has a child based on your genes! What would become of the child she bears!”
“If it’s an Ability User, I’ll raise it. If not, I’ll discard it.”
“How can you say such a thing so calmly.”
“Because it’s the reality.”
Taejo chuckled and took a big bite of the Yanggaeng placed on the table.
“Grandpa. You don’t need to worry. Do you think she would do something like that just to have a child? I read in a health book that they die off quickly, so it should be fine!”
“Oh, really? Unlike ordinary people, our great S-class hero, the eldest son of the Tae family, has superior genes, so couldn’t they survive?”
“Uh….”
Taejo tilted his head.
“Is that scientifically possible?”
“You’re an Ability User!!”
“Ability Users are also human.”
“Don’t push the limits of science on Ability Users!! What are you going to do if she really gets pregnant! Are you planning to scatter your genes to all women and have tens, hundreds of your sons around!”
“Well.”
Taejo shrugged his shoulders.
“Why should I be responsible for a child I didn’t want to have?”
“Ha, hahaha….”
The President seemed to have no more energy to rage and collapsed into his seat.
“I’ve raised a monster, a monster.”
“I do possess monstrous abilities.”
“Anyway, if you don’t do something. Ugh. If something happens to her, you’re really…”
“Why would Yuliana die?”
“…….”
The President turned his body. Unnoticed by Taejo, he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth from rising.
“Grandson. Consider this. Imagine you’re a nationalist. The grand first son of our Tae family has his genes stolen by a foreign woman. Could you just sit by and watch?”
“Then we just have to retrieve it. Why should she die?”
“Have you ever seen a thief left untouched?”
“…Ah, no, that’s not right. Killing seems a bit much.”
Taejo sprung up from his seat.
“We promised to try it once more when I visit Miami next time, in a suit!!”
“…You should be glad you’re an S-class.”
“It’s because I’m S-class that I’m like this. Khu khu khu.”
Taejo moved towards the window.
“Where is Yuliana now?”
“I don’t know. She said she was taking a plane from Yangyang to America. Why?”
“Why, you ask.”
As Taejo opened the window, something that looked like a massive hunk of steel flew toward him from outside.
Clang, clang, clang!
The hunk of metal attached itself to Taejo’s body, swiftly forming armor that covered him entirely. He resembled a man of steel donned in dragon-scale armor.
“Rescuing the woman is the hero’s job.”
With a loud crash!
Taejo broke through the glass window and dashed outside.
Watching his retreating figure, the President quietly reached out for the bottle of digestive medicine on the table.
“He should have been born in America, not Korea… Ah, no. Right, he’s the proud eldest son of our Tae family. Tsk.”
The President stared at the picture on the TV with a complex expression.
“If a scandal’s going to break, it should at least be of equal class. An S-class should match with an S-class. What’s with this C-class.”
After a moment.
Having assessed the whole situation, I once again confirmed where the Gyeolsa currently stood.
“So, we just have to make sure Yuliana doesn’t die in Korea, right?”
“Yes. The government wants to cover up that Taejo, an S-grade hero, has been involved in a scandal with Yuliana, a C-grade individual, and the Hwalbindang wants to recover the stolen genes of Taejo from Yuliana.”
“What’s in it for us?”
“Part ownership of October Travel. And, favor.”
The word ‘favor’ was frightening.
It was just a word, but from Gyeolsa’s perspective, these trivial favors must be gathered to progress toward world domination.
“Instead of having a headache over creating a new airline where October Travel is located, wouldn’t it be better to make October Travel an ally of Gyeolsa? They’re going to upgrade us to first class for free whenever we go abroad.”
“Everything is for world domination, right?”
“Exactly. An influential airline in Gangwon Province. Capturing them for our society will be a great help in the future.”
“…Hmm.”
The conclusion was drawn.
Whether we liked it or not, Yuliana must not be killed on Korean soil.
“Then what about Taejo’s genes?”
“We have to destroy them. To make sure nobody uses them carelessly.”
“And where would they use it?”
“Well, if it’s stored somewhere in a cold place and used in a test tube or something, wouldn’t it be quite troublesome?”
“Tsk. Such a young man is already shameless…”
“You, Chief Do, are shameless too.”
“Mr. President.”
“Sorry, sorry.”
I put my foot down, giving up on the idea of kicking Gunggi’s butt.
“It’s time. From now on, I’ll follow and escort the ‘thief’ from a place unseen.”
“You don’t seem too thrilled.”
“From the perspective of human Do Ji-hwan, not the Goblin of the Gyeolsa, I’m more uncomfortable with Yuliana than Taejo.”
“Because you’re a man?”
“No. It’s disturbing that they’re trying to have a child without being in love.”
“Hmm… Indeed, I suppose that would be the case from your perspective, Chief Do. You’re a passionate lover, wooing this woman and that.”
“……”
Thwack.
“Ah! You hit my butt?! This is sexual harassment!”
“Even if you scream, it won’t mean anything if it doesn’t hurt.”
“The issue is where you hit! How could you hit a woman?”
“I don’t discriminate based on gender… So next time, I will kick your shin.”
“Anyway!”
Gunggi rubbed her buttocks with a scowl on her face.
“Speaking of which, Mr. President. Can Yuliana be considered…a villain?”
“Hmm….”
Gunggi stared at me intently, then shook her head slightly.
“A crime deserving death… I don’t think so?”
“Even though she’s a gene thief?”
“Since they both agreed to it, no one can say anything. If there’s a fault, it lies with both sides. The man who didn’t handle it properly after the fact, and the woman who tried to do something strange with it.”
“…Well, I understand that it’s not to the extent of deserving death.”
Woosh.
I took out my mask.
“This is just a theoretical discussion.”
Transform.
[If Yuliana does something bad enough to deserve death.]
Clang.
[As the Goblin, is it okay to kill her?]
“…Ah. Of course… It is. Naturally.”
Gunggi took out sunglasses from her pocket, put them on, and raised her red lips towards me.
“More important than these trivial circumstances is the duty of the Gyeolsa and the circumstances of the Goblin.”
Yuliana Escort Operation.
Begin.
