Chapter 92: How To Conquer A Villain (5)

About 2 hours before Jeon Yong-gi’s departure. 5 AM.

In front of the Grand Hotel, Samcheok, Gangwon-do.

“Please take care, Miss ‘Crimson’.”

“We should be the ones asking for your care. Hehe. Please rest assured.”

A lot of people were gathered in the hotel lounge.

The men in black suits were bodyguards hired by October Travel, and some of our Secret Society agents were also there to guard.

“We will escort you safely to Yangyang Airport. We hope you have a comfortable journey.”

“Hmm. If I can return to my country safely, I will not forget this favor.”

“It’s business, there’s no favor here. Hehe. You won’t regret reaching out to us. Shall we go?”

Gunggi gestured outside the hotel as she guided the chairman.

Five official sedans were already waiting outside the hotel, and Gunggi personally escorted the chairman to the second car.

“Lady, you can come this way.”

I personally escorted Yuliana.

The other agents of the Secret Society wouldn’t even dream that I was the Goblin. They only thought of me as an agent directly called by Gunggi.

“You, who are you?”

“At work, they call me ‘Moby Dick’.”

I took a once-over of myself reflected in the glass of the main entrance.

A black suit top and bottom, a black shirt, and even a black dolphin mask on my face.

Anyone would associate me with a dolphin due to the design, and anyone would think I am suspicious.

Even people from the same Secret Society were indirectly giving a look as if to say, ‘Why did Gunggi personally order him to escort Yuliana?’

“Do all the people in your company look like that?”

“For now, yes.”

“Well, fine. It’s good because it’s an English name, easy to call. Guide me.”

“Yes. Shall I carry your luggage?”

“This… I will carry it myself.”

Yuliana was carrying a large carrier.

It gave off a feeling that something precious was stowed away, something hidden, securely locked inside.

Could ‘Taejo’s genes’ be in there?

I didn’t know.

As a member of the Secret Society, the primary goal was to protect Yuliana. Personally, the best option would be to destroy or steal and incinerate Taejo’s genes.

“Understood. This way, please.”

I escorted Yuliana with the professional attitude I learned from escorting our leader.

She got into the car as if it was a matter of course that I was escorting her, and I sat directly in the driver’s seat and started the car.

“Would you fasten your seatbelt? There might be situations where I need to speed to the airport.”

“What about others…?”

“Chairman Feygreen said that he would take the next international flight if anything happens. He instructed us to prioritize getting you on the private jet.”

“Really? Hmm…”

This was not a lie.

There was no need to lie to a person whom the bodyguard must protect.

“I will escort you safely to the airport.”

“You, how strong are you? You seem… stronger than me.”

Did she feel my magical power subtly exuding from my body?

Yuliana looked at me from the back seat with a subtle smile on her face.

“Are you Korean? Or are you a foreigner over there?”

“……”

This woman.

What could be the reason she subtly shows interest in me?

Judging by her great interest in powerful psychics, she must definitely be aiming for the genes of various ability users.

“Are you A-class? Or something above?”

Like she was aiming for Taejo’s genes, was she now aiming for my genes?

‘How could this girl be a sub-heroine.’

She was the type of heroine that would make the Unicorn-natured readers mad.

Probably, the foolish original author must have tried to build up a ‘promiscuous heroine’ in his harem, but as soon as the reaction was not good, he excluded her.

-Do we call an unwrapped product new? We call it used.

-Used and heroine are words that cannot coexist, teacher.

During a live follow-up, someone else made such a comment.

Perhaps the author who thought something was ‘wrong’ from his comment must have demoted Yuliana to a supporting role. Still, if the author stubbornly insisted on cleaning her up, Yuliana would have been a main heroine.

‘Whether she’s a heroine or not, it doesn’t matter to me at this point.’

Right now, she was just a subject of the mission, and in my eyes, she could easily become an execution target with just a slight misstep.

For instance, just before she became a target to be killed.

“We will be departing soon. Would you please fasten your seatbelt?”

“What, you’re boring. You’re not popular with women, are you?”

“I’m married.”

“You can do it without your wife knowing- Ah?!”

As soon as the car in front started moving, I stepped on the accelerator.

Vroom.

“Hey, are you going to ignore me? What will you do if I jump out in the middle?”

“Enemies will be on your tail as soon as we leave Yangyang. I’ll say this up to three times. Please fasten your seatbelt.”

“Hmph… What if I need to jump out and run away, and the belt gets in the way.”

“Understood. If you smash your pretty face on the seat and bleed from your nose later, we are not responsible, okay?”

“…Tsk. Boring.”

With the quiet engine noise, I checked to see Yuliana fastening her seatbelt and slightly stepped harder on the accelerator.

‘She’s already hooked.’

Beyond the window.

I could feel the gazes directed at us.

Samcheok City, another hotel rooftop.

“The thief has left the hotel. The ones who came out were Desmond, Yuliana, and several escorts. The specific number is… That’s it, report over.”

A young woman wearing a hat and mask, Mattluk, put down her telescope and spoke into the radio.

[Confirmed. We will depart immediately.]

The sound of an engine roaring could be heard over the radio.

It seemed like the rumbling of a vehicle, and also like a motorcycle.

No, perhaps both.

[Mattluk. Follow them up to Gangneung and keep an eye on the situation. If something goes wrong with us, immediately inform the leader to cancel the operation and abandon us.]

“Yes? No, why are you saying that from the start?”

[I’m just anxious.]

The voice over the radio was brimming with confidence, but at the same time, there was a very slight tremble left.

[The opponent is not just Feygreen. There’s also Yi Maemangryang. Especially… this time, it seems the ‘Crimson Witch’ is with them.]

“That flame cat…?”

[Yes. Fortunately, according to your report, the flame cat is protecting Desmond Feygreen. We know that our ultimate target is not Yuliana but the Taejo’s gene that Yuliana stole.]

“Then are you saying Desmond has that?”

[There’s a possibility.]

“Hmm… Is the carrier that Yuliana has a decoy?”

[For now.]

Mattluk was hesitant about what to say.

Expressing her intuition recklessly was an act that incited anxiety, and ultimately, Mattluk struggled to swallow the anxiety flowing from her heart.

[It’s okay. If need be, we can just rob them all. Crimson Witch knows that we are here, so they would have hidden Taejo’s gene in the safest place.]

“Commander Yeongno. How about requesting support from the ‘Adjustment’ now? Even though Hwalbindang is moving, this matter should receive help from the Adjustment….”

[We’ve already received help. Don’t you know the relationship between this side’s affiliates and ‘my unit’? The road is clear, and whatever we do against them will be ‘forgotten’.]

“Do you mean….”

[Listen well. This matter must end as Hwalbindang’s independent action. Never, never should there be talk that Adjustment and we collaborated. Even if a problem arises later, all matters are committed by us, Hwalbindang. Adjustment has no relationship. Understand?]

“…Understood.”

[Good. Pray for good luck.]

“I will also pray for good luck. Commander Yeongno. Um….”

Mattluk took a deep breath and asked cautiously.

“After this operation is over, would you like to go eat Korean Beef near Busan?”

“Korean Beef? Nice. If we successfully steal Taejo’s gene, I’ll buy.”

“No, I’ll buy. It’s a promise. Please come back safely.”

[Of course.]

Click.

The radio was disconnected.

Mattluk fiddled with the radio and lifted her head to the sky.

“The weather….”

For dawn, it was far too dark and gloomy, a gray sky.

“Sigh.”

Yuliana let out a blatant sigh. The man named Moby Dick, seated in the driver’s seat, was just driving silently, and there seemed to be no significant problem until they escaped from Samcheok.

“Did I get tricked for no reason?”

Yuliana casually asked this, but Moby Dick said nothing. Yuliana jabbed the back of the co-pilot’s seat with her knee out of spite, but the man just continued to drive.

“Hey, are you going to keep ignoring me?”

“I can’t answer that question.”

“So you mean you can answer questions you can answer?”

“Yes.”

“Are you married?”

“I told you, I’m a married man.”

“Oh, right.”

Married man.

He must be an ability user, at most 25 years old, but he was already married.

“Who did you marry? An ability user? Then your kids would be ability users, too, right?”

“I’d rather not comment.”

“Hmm. Did you marry a non-ability user? Why? If you marry an ability user, you’d immediately have an ability user child. Ah, are you the type who wants your child to live an ordinary life?”

“… I’m sorry, but from now on, the driving might get a bit aggressive.”

Moby Dick’s voice trembled slightly.

“It seems the attackers are serious about getting rid of you.”

“Getting rid of me? What are you talking about…”

Rumble, rumble.

The vibration began to be felt. At the same time, Moby Dick pressed hard on the accelerator.

“We’re going fast.”

“No, why are you suddenly speeding up…”

As they were driving along the coastal road, the three-way intersection appeared ahead of them.

“…What is that?”

“I wish it were bikers… but it’s Hwalbindang. Those who have made claims to assassinate you.”

Dozens of motorcycles were coming.

“… They’re like goblins wearing Hanbok and riding motorcycles.”

Wearing black durumagi, they were furiously riding their bikes, speeding down the road and closing the distance.

“No, besides that! Their bikes! In front of their bikes!”

“Yes, I see it.”

In front of their handlebars,

“There’s a gun attached.”

There was a K2 rifle attached.
