A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 97

Episode 97

Hwagyeong Store

It can be said that the life of a villain is very busy..

Especially if you have a grand dream of creating a villain alliance like me,.

First of all, it takes a very long time to simply plan a terrorist attack. Are you trying to lure other villains in there? Wow, even ten bodies are not enough..

Terrorism is not easy. After the sun sets, a hero with crazy abilities called Shadow Walker suppresses the terrorist attack within minutes, so it is also a big problem that the time is limited to daylight..

Of course, that doesn't mean that night isn't the villain's time..

"Phew...."

A dark street in Seoul.

In a place where I couldn't see any people, I was waiting for my car..

And when the appointed time came, the headlights came from the corner..

A black limousine was approaching me..

And the car stopped in front of me.

And there, a man wearing a suit and a mask worthy of a masquerade opened the door and bowed to me..

"Hello customer. Please confirm."

As he said that to me, I took out a black and gold ticket from my pocket..

A VVIP ticket that was obtained with great difficulty by harassing Lee Seol-ah..

The man, who was checking it for a moment, then bowed his head politely towards me again as if it had been confirmed and said.

"Thank you, customer. You have been confirmed. Now, please get in here.."

I followed the man who opened the door to the back seat of the limousine and went in..

The inside is covered with red leather..

I sat there. Hmm, it's nice and soft..

"Then we will leave."

As soon as the man sitting in front spoke, the car started to drive quietly..

As I laid down in the car as it started to speed up, the man in front handed me a mask as well..

"sir. This is your mask. Please wear it."

So I also received a mask that looked like something from a drama about nobles set in the Middle Ages..

...I know that everyone is basically hindering awareness anyway, but does this have any meaning??

So the limousine continued to drive down the empty road, heading somewhere outside Seoul..

All this time, I was just staring out the window and blanking out..

The place I go now is the auction house.

It is also a global illegal auction house held for the first time in Korea..

...21I don't know why something like this still exists in the Republic of Korea, but since this world has some flaws, I decided to just move on..

After a long drive, we arrived at an abandoned building in a secluded place..

And the car went down to what looked like a parking lot under the building..

"You can get off."

I got out of the open limousine like that..

And follow along with help from the staff..

A new scenery appeared before my eyes..

A large open space, a brilliantly shining chandelier and gold-embroidered wallpaper..

And, various people wearing colorful masks..

This place is so lively that it cannot be compared to the place above..

I also entered proudly, wearing a mask and suit..

This is Xcal Auction House, where people with all kinds of money from all over the world gather..

At the same time, it was also a tragic space where a villain was born at this moment..

And I'm here to stop it.

'......'

So, with a solemn look on my face, I walked towards the place where a full-scale auction would soon take place..

...In fact, even though it is a tragic event, it is a lot of money, but anyway..

*

So I found my seat and sat down..

It's a dark space, just like a musical theater, with seats arranged in a tiered circle around a stage in the middle where the auction will take place..

I sat down in one of the seats and yawned..

When does it start.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome."

ah. It's starting now.

The lights turned on on stage and the host appeared..

No matter what he said, I just ignored it. What about auctions with deep history and tradition, what about customers with an aesthetic appreciation for art, and what about the items coming in today that are so precious?....

And finally, the real auction began..

"This is the first item of the day! This candlestick was used in the Baroque period and is now extremely difficult to obtain. Let's start at $3000!"

"3200! 3200 It's out! Is there anyone else? 3, 2, 1. As it is, it was sold to number 127. thank you!"

"....This is a very valuable item. This is a blacklist leaked from the Egyptian government. I will accept it in advance.."

"This is one of the few rare items in the world that shows the image of the S-class villain Kelus, whose records have been erased at present. Let's start from $10000!"

And as soon as the stage started, products began to be sold in earnest..

This was the Xcal auction house, selling all the valuable items that could be sold without the attention of the government and association..

True to its name, it sells anything worth money, from ancient relics to the latest government documents, but it also sells everything, including really strange things..

And it's even more amazing that there are people who buy it. Everyone has money left over..

Anyway, these useless things are not my concern..

I sat down and waited calmly. Until I get the item I want.

And, how much time has passed?.

The long-awaited thing has finally arrived on stage..

"This is a ring that Korea's B-class hero Swordier always wore during his lifetime. We obtained what he spilled at the last moment. Let's start at $6000."

okay.

That ring.

In the original work, I have to intercept that ring, which is the culprit behind the creation of all S-class villains in the future..

When no one knows its value yet.

"7000Dollars are out! 7000 dollars, do you have more??"

"7500! 7500 It came out. 8000! 8000 came out. Do you have more?"

The auction house is so heated in its own way..

And finally, the heavy man on the other side snapped his finger..

"10000 It's out! 10000! Do you have any more? Then I will bid like this.! 3, 2..."

And the moment the moderator was about to win the bid.

His eyes widened as he noticed something..

"50000..! 50000 came out!"

The host shouted in excitement at the sudden increase of five times the amount..

The same goes for other people around us who were watching indifferently..

Suddenly, you wonder who this crazy person is who is burning money on seemingly useless things..

The person who called 50,000 here is of course me..

How a real man screams hotly.

I glance to the side and see a man in a suit writhing around..

He is the one who called Mann in the first place and almost lost the bid, and actually succeeded in winning the bid in the original work..

Ryu Jin-taek, president of VK Enterprises. And he is one of the future S-class villains..

In the original, he realizes the power of a ring he bought out of boredom at an auction house, and uses it to commit all kinds of evil deeds..

And with the countless powers he has gained through this, he is a significant obstacle to Lee Seol-ah's merger and acquisition project..

Of course, it's a future that won't come true now that I have this ring..

I threw it because I was bored, but it seemed like he was a little offended by it, so he tried to resist timidly..

"51000 came out 51000!"

Yeah fuck it.

"100000!!! 100,000 came out, 100,000! Do you have any more? Then it was sold for 3, 2, 1... 100,000. thank you!!!!"

I felt the people around me buzzing as they watched me burn 100 million won on a ring that some B-level hero used..

The host seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps because he had succeeded in selling the fried rice..

I just chuckled at the noisy atmosphere inside the room..

Of all the items that came out today, this is the most precious..

If people knew the truth about this ring, its value would have risen to the trillions level. It's not something you can buy with money in the first place..

Everyone here probably has hundreds of millions in capital..

Anyway, after finishing my errand, I just stood up. There's nothing more to see now.

After laughing at the guy shaking next to me, I went outside and picked up the items first..

It's a very ordinary-looking ring, with nothing but a purple pearl in the middle..

I packed the ring in my pocket along with the case and came out..

Phew. One goal was achieved with this.

....But how do I get back home?.

***

Somehow I returned home, collapsed and fell asleep as soon as I arrived, the next day..

"brother. What on earth is this? I went out at night making such a fuss.?"

Seo-eun asked me as if she was very curious as I was polishing my ring in the living room..

"Ring of Seal."

"yes?"

"Our next terrorist attack will be this.."

"....No, what on earth is this??"

"You'll know when you see it."

Purple pellet embedded in the center of the ring.

I turned it clockwise twice and counterclockwise again..

And, at the same time.

Light flashes from the ring-.

[....hmm? who woke me up?]

From the ring, a translucent figure wearing knightly armor similar to something worn in the Middle Ages popped out..

".....what it this?"

Seo-eun is shocked, and the guy wearing black armor still looks confused..

In that confusing situation, I just calmly said this:.

"death knight."

[hmm? Are you talking about me? My name is not like that, Saint Peter....]

"no. Your name is Death Knight from today onwards.."

Death Knight has a cooler tone..

From now on, your name will be Desik..
