A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 162

Episode 162

Get in touch with Hwadoum

"Oh my, of course we have to use our strength. This is a request from the chairman, not anyone else, so how can it be possible?."

"thank you."

Luxurious Korean restaurant.

Deep inside, a middle-aged man in a suit and a woman with long light blue hair were chatting amicably..

"Isn’t this all because Chairman Lee Seol-ah cares about the country? ha ha ha!"

She just smiles quietly at the man's flattering words..

Soon, when the place was empty, she spoke to him in a flowing manner..

"I heard that it's been a while since the opposition party has had any fun these days...."

"Oh my... we have to do better."

"I hope it goes well this time. Especially... if it's someone as capable as Assemblyman Gam, I think he will fully contribute to the process.."

Translate. I will push you hard so that you can have a seat this time..

The council member's face widened as he couldn't have known the true meaning as there was a lot of political jjambab, and he kept saying thank you..

Soon, the inspector disappeared with a happy smile on his face..

Lee Seol-ah, sitting in the back seat of a tinted black limousine, leaned back on the seat, closed her eyes, and fell into thought..

Yuseong Group. And Lee Seol-ah. She has already succeeded in gaining power in Korea that no one can surpass..

It is not unreasonable to say that Korea's economy is already in her hands. Accordingly, based on her overwhelming control over the financial world, she began to gradually eat away at the political world, and it was not unreasonable to say that she already controlled half of Yeouido..

As a result, the government and lawmakers are also watching Lee Seol-ah and Yoosung Corporation..

By using carrots and sticks well, it was possible to some extent to prevent politicians from speaking out about whatever oil companies do..

She, who already took control of the ruling party a long time ago, held a meeting today to prevent the opposition from saying anything else..

"Phew..."

It wasn't easy for her to meet and talk to many political figures while she was busy, but how did she finish it?.

Egostick, not anyone else. Because it was Dain’s request..

"..."

PMC.

This business that Egostick brought up to him was a business with more problems than expected..

First of all, companies hire talented people privately, that is, with money, but if this is done incorrectly, there can be many criticisms that the company is trying to form an armed organization..

It happens quite a bit in other countries that have already become battlefields for talented people, but it has never happened in Korea yet..

Accordingly, Lee Seol-ah had to approach it carefully from the beginning..

In fact, the bigger problem than politics or the media was the association, but something could be done with the association president and her close connection. First of all, isn't she a hero too? If you say you will never leave the association, promise various support, and say that it is all for the good of humanity, how will everything work out?.

Thinking about that, Lee Seol-ah suddenly reflected on the conversation she had with Da-in before..

...

"...I'm going to gather talented people and create a private company. aka PMC."

"yes?"

that day. The top CEO of Yuseong Enterprises.

At the place that was now the official meeting place between her and Dain, Dain explained to her in a serious voice..

He doesn't even want to reach A level, but his plan is to hire a lot of people with skills below B level and create a security company or something like that..

Of course, it's only on the surface; in reality, it's a PMC that will prepare from training to actual deployment..

"I know why talented people are reluctant to become heroes in the association.?"

Because the pay is low, the work is hard, and you get criticized a lot..

In Korea, where it is common for heroes to be criticized if they make even one mistake, living as a hero is not easy. Even if you are a level A who pays a lot of money, you will not do it, especially if you are level B or lower..

After explaining it like that, Egostick soon explained it to her..

Rather than making fun of such surplus workers, it would be better to hire them all at high prices and give them training and mental education..

because...

"In the future, security will become very chaotic.."

Seol-ah Lee was convinced without realizing it by Da-in's sincere words, which she declared as if they were confirmed, as if she had seen the future. ...I don't know how you know..

"In other words... it wouldn't be a bad idea to hire talented people in the future before they turn into villains to make money. And they will all be useful too.."

To sum up his words in one word, it was this:.

There will come a day when security in Korea collapses due to some kind of incident and villains run rampant..

To prepare for that, we need to hire capable people privately in advance and train them with all our might in case of an emergency..

Actually, if you look at it, it's a word with no basis..

But Lee Seol-ah believed it. So far, nothing he has said has ever been wrong... Ego stick. Because those were Dain’s words..

"This is a request that only you can grant, not anyone else.."

Dain met her eyes and said that.

Create a private organization with talented people. The moment anyone attempts it, they are bound to be crushed by the backlash from the government and association. Unless you are a Yuseong company that ate up half of Korea, anyone.

To Da-in, who looked at her like that and spoke seriously, Seol-ah Lee responded that she would help her. Well... since Korea is now almost hers, it would be good for her to protect it. She did something wrong in the first place. Not only did she receive a lot from Dain, but...

'Because only I can help, not anyone else....'

Yes.

This is something only Lee Seol-ah, herself, can do for Ego Stick..

Even Egostick, who is so good at judgment that he has the ability to almost see the future, cannot do anything that his colleagues who are only strong enough, or even Stardust, can do..

Lee Seol-ah, because this is something only ‘you’ can do..

"Ugh..."

Again, back to the present.

For some reason, Lee Seol-ah, who was in a good mood when she remembered that fact, hummed without realizing it and tapped her legs in the back of the limousine..

okay. It's worth it to have been fighting to try Korea. If it weren't for this, would she have been able to help her ego stick with something like this??

From now on, whenever Ego Stick thinks of PMC, Lee Seol-ah will naturally think of herself..

So slowly, his heart becomes his own....

Lee Seol-ah, who seemed to be in a good mood and was shaking her legs in the back of the limousine, suddenly remembered something and spoke to the driver..

"Oh right. Please go to this address here."

"Okay, boss.."

Okay, since I'm in Seoul, I'd like to see you for the first time in a while..

Thinking like that, Lee Seol-ah turned the car around and headed toward Haru’s house..

"day..."

I miss you after a long time.

In fact, Haru was almost Seol-ah's only friend. Now that there are multiple people, it's an exception, but before that, it was almost the only one..

We met since childhood and spent our school days together....

"Will you like it if I go after a long time??"

Actually, there have been a few minor conflicts recently due to ego stick-related issues. It's not like that's going to make the relationship between them grow apart. From the beginning, we were almost the only ones who shared our concerns with each other. One day was the only time Lee Seol-ah let go of her words..

Anyway, she decided to make a surprise visit to Haru's house this time. Since he's not at the association, he's probably at home. Especially recently, it's already been over 3 months since Ego Stick has carried out a terrorist attack, so there's nothing to do. Either a workaholic or a homebody, it is obvious where Shin Haru is..

Lee Seol-ah, who thought so, soon got into the car and arrived at Haru's apartment..

She soon arrived at the front door..

"Hmm... I need to surprise you.."

Soon, Lee Seol-ah naturally began to key in the front door code to Shin Haru's house..

Since we are so close to each other, they tell us to come over anytime and we have already known each other's house passwords for a long time..

Lee Seol-ah, who soon opened the door and entered, shouted brightly..

"One day, I'm here~."

Soon, I greeted Seol-ah Lee, who came in with a smile on her face..

What happened is that the house is a bit dark..

For some reason, Lee Seol-ah muttered quietly in the cold atmosphere and headed forward..

"It's a day..?"

no answer.

She headed toward the living room, wondering if she had a bad day..

Naturally, I stopped for a moment at the photo of the ego stick hanging on the wall..

"...?"

A photo of the ego stick and the words written next to it.

Why is this hanging here at home?.

When my eyes naturally went in that direction.

"Seolya?"

"hic!"

A voice suddenly came from behind me, and I almost shot the ice without realizing it..

When I turned my head in surprise, what I saw was Shin Haru with a shadow on his face..

When Lee Seol-ah’s body stiffens in a sudden atmosphere of fear.

"When did you come??"

Haru said with a faint smile as if he was happy to see me, shaking off the moisture from his blonde hair, and then turned on the light in the living room..

A house brightened again. Soon, seeing the day looking brighter than the previous scary atmosphere, Seol-ah felt her heart sink. She was shocked for a moment, but it was just another day. Even though she pretends to be a strong and blunt stardust on the outside, she only shows it to her friends...in reality, she is a kind and warm Shinharu..

"I just got here... I was washing up. I thought there was no moment."

"Ahaha, welcome."

A day that welcomes you with a smile.

I was a little worried about what he was doing these days, but he looked surprisingly bright..

Relieved by this, Seol-ah calmed down her still shocked heart and smiled and said,.

"Since I was in Seoul for a while, I thought I'd see each other for a day. Ah but Haru, what is this??"

Lee Seol-ah asked as if she was curious, pointing to a picture of Ego Stick on the wall..

Soon, Shin Haru responded casually with slightly darkened eyes..

"ah. I kept thinking about how to hold the ego stick. Of course, he hasn't committed terrorist attacks these days, so thinking about it alone doesn't mean anything. I guess he's hanging out with his colleagues at home.."

Saying that, ahaha - a smiling day.

...And in that short interval, Lee Seol-ah, who caught the slight dark circles in Haru's eyes and his soulless smile, instinctively felt cold..

...No, not in the first place. Haru is not the type of person who smiles like that....

"Haha, really? Well, first of all, I'm a little thirsty. Is there anything to drink here??"

"ah. wait. I'll take it out."

Lee Seol-ah, who managed to change the topic of conversation, noticed Haru's current condition, as expected from an outstanding businesswoman. hmm. I shouldn’t bring up the topic of ego sticks today. The mood is bad..

Seol-ah Lee, who decided to once again warn Ego Stick to be careful of Stardus, sat down and started talking about this and that with Haru..

The atmosphere was good, perhaps because it had been a while since we had seen each other and chatted..

...Of course, the topic of the ego stick was accidentally brought up in the middle, and Lee Seol-ah's body trembled slightly as Shin Haru spoke passionately about why she must hold the ego stick and why she should hold it herself..

Other than that it was friendly.

To be exact, during the conversation between the two, until the association received a call saying, ‘An American S-class hero has been dispatched to Korea to capture Ego Stick.’.
